>> i do not support vigilane's. that's an unfair statement to make a show down in florida. presidential parties hillary clinton and bernie sanders face off during the latest debate. hello. woel come. i'm peter dobbi. you're watching al jazeera live from doha. hundreds of bangladeshs are protesting against a power plant to be near a world lifted

forest. >> translation: what about america, canada and australia? hopes are dashed for hundreds of syrian refugees as they're told again this border crossing is now closed. a ukrainian military pilot accused of killing two journalists shows her disdain for a russian court immigration reform was the main poirnt of contention in a feisty debate between presidential hopefuls. there were issues over trade, wall street and climate change. bernie sanders took vermont and hillary clinton surndz to her

win in mississippi. >> reporter: hillary clinton and bernie sanders argued they're the candidates that best represents the future for millions of latinos were trying to enter illegally. >> i have been consistent and admitted to reform with a capped citizenship. i think our best chance was in 2007. i voted for that bill. bernie sanders voted against it >> one of the great human tragedies of recent years is children came from honduras and i said welcome those children into this country. secretary clinton said send them back. >> reporter: the tone of the debate was at times tense as each candidate tried to score political points knowing in less than a week the state of florida will hold its presidential nomination contest and a large number of those voters will be latino >> in 2006 senator sanders

supported indefinite detention for people facing deportation and stood with the minute men vigilante's in absurd efforts to hunt down immigrants. >> that's an unfair statement to make. >> reporter: there were questions of character in the debate that only clinton could answer or chose not to answer like her decision to use a private email serve for her email >> if you get impounded are you going to run >> i'm not going to answer that question >> reporter: there were questions of improceed pit that seemed to plague hillary clinton over and over again, showing that the issue of trust cost her with voters in michigan and could again in florida and a host of other states voting on

tuesday. it is a challenge clinton will have to overcome if ultimately named the democratic presidential nominee in a general election joining us now from l.a. is the political analyst peter matthews. he is also an author as well. on that issue of deportation both sanders and clinton distancing themselves from the settled white house line on that. is that significant? >> it is very significant. it wasn't just to get the latino vote. they really believe it. it is impractical and immoral to deport people here working hard and paying taxes. they agreed on that they dodged the idea of answering directly is donald trump a raftist. they used language that lead them thinking that he was but didn't use the r word

>> that's correct. they implied it, and they didn't use that word because that was too crude. it doesn't go well in politics. they said yes, this man, we should not be looking at people based on religion and keeping them out of their country based on their religion or original origin. they both said it is not the way to go and does it is not what america is about. that was interesting to see them both agree on that bernie sanders pushing mrs clinton on wall street and her speeches to the great and good of all three and more to the point how much she gets paid. is that potentially her ar ac, this illes heel. >> yes. there are protest votes going on

for both trump and for her. they say they can't be trump. donald trump a millionaire and bernie sanders donating money. and my current book focus elizabeth on that. she took not only money for her campaigns from wall street and other corporate interests, but she got paid 750,000 for three speeches. bernie sanders made a joking statement. he said that speech you got $250,000 for it. it must have been a great speech. why don't you share the transcripts of it she looked grumpy when pushed on her idea of the emails and where she stored them or whether she didn't store them. she talked email being retrospectively reclassified and talked about colin powell. he had two emails classified as being confidential.

she has had 2,000 emails reclassified. if somebody goes down that line with her, will they be able to take political lumps out of her credible -- credibility? >> he had a government server on email, private email. she had a private server built by someone in her basement. that is an issue that is going to be brought up again and again. she said they were not classified. there are some emails born classified because of the nature of the content of the email itself. this is a real problem for her and it will come up goempb and over. bernie sanders won't touch it saying there is a process in place. i'm not going to interfere with it. i want to talk about the big issues affecting americans and young people and the middle-class. it doesn't mean she is out of the woods on that one. it will keep coming up as long as the investigation by the

f.b.i. is continuing. the department of justice is going to decide whether to indict her or not. that can go either way, i think thank you for your time. hundreds of bangladeshis are marching against a power plant being next to a heritage forest. they say it will destroy the area. the government says it is necessary to provide power to one third of the population. >> reporter: they are moving 400 kilometers march towards the forest. it was organized to protect the national resource power plant in bangladesh. they want to bring awareness to people and persuade the government to stop the construction of 1320 megawatt

coal power plant built by the indian and bangladeshi government jointly, all next to the largest mangrove forest, just barely 14 kilometers away. this protest is not the first one. they want to pick up more people on the way to protest from different cities and town across the country. the government is saying this is nothing but a disinformation campaign. they have environment impact assessment reports which says it will not have any negative impact on the forest and that the time-- the country needs powers. only 75% is connected to the grid. so the need for electricity is there myanmar's n.l.d. has proposed two candidates for the presidency, but the party leader aung san suu kyi is not on the list. they won a landslide election

victory in november. a parliamentary majority. it brought an end to the military's grip on power that last more than 50 years. the leader of the n.l.d., aurng, is barred from myanmar's top job. the constitution stops the presidency going to anyone with foreign children. that same constitution militaries the military 25% of the seats. wayne hay has more from the capital. >> reporter: chin dchaw was nominated and was the favorite to become the next president of myanmar. he is a member of the n.l.d., but he is not a member of parliament. he is known to be very close to aung san suu kyi and very loyal to her. that's important because this is not the end of the road in terms of the ambitions from within the n.l.d. to have her as the

president of myanmar. even though it appears those negotiations with the military to suspend the article of the constitution that prevents her from becoming presidential appear to have failed for now. it is believed that within the next year there will be another push for aung san suu kyi to negotiate with the military for them to set aside that section of the constitution. if she is to become president, she needs someone in that position now who is loyal to her and is willing to step aside to allow her to fulfil her am bigs the canadian prime minister justin trudeaux hope to improve relations with the u.s. he will be the first leader to be honoured with a state dinner. ties with the u.s. suffered under his predecessor. >> reporter: canada and the u.s. are each other's largest trading partners and the relationship is important to this country's

economy. that's why there's enthusiasm on his visit to washington. he said he was going to press reset on a relationship that had rather frayed under hes predecessor mr harper. he wasn't able to get the approval for the pipeline. that is not likely to come up when he is in washington. it has gone away as an issue. what is likely to come up is the wore der. tight new security restrictions are costing canada money. by some estimates 20 bol i don't know to the entire economy. long line-ups and exports. he will be expected to bring that up >> i think the prime minister has to be frank in asking how canada and the u.s. can agree on positions, agreeing that business people that americans and canadians can still cross

the border. through issues when they met at the apec summit in november and showed a fairly warm personal relationship there, always crucial. also canada needs to keep in mind this is an election year. it needs to develop relations with congress, people like paul ryan and the potential nominees for the democratic and republican parties for president and that means canada is working on a strategy for president donald trump should he got elected it has been another rough night for refugees stranded in greece. they have been told to expect the crossing closed and to be moved on. >> reporter: they were pushed out of their homeland only to end up in a huge puddle of mud along a closed border.

taking a few steps is a risky business. lost and confused the refugees wander around asking anyone they meet for information. wondering whether their flight with war, persecution and poverty will ever end. some are still pinning their hopes on german chancellor angela merkel to save them. this happens every day. people sit on the railway tracks hoping that it will put enough pressure to open the borders. greek police through trerments try to explain that this is not the case-- interpreters. >> reporter: most have come to the terms that the balkan root is now closed. - drn route is now closed. >> reporter: she was been here

15 days. she thought she would have been reunited with his husband. >> translation: i am trying to register in the relocation program. i want to get out from here. i've not had a shower since i arrived. there is little assistance. all my clothes are soak. look at the weather. we are dying here. >> reporter: the e.u. agreed on a relocation program for 160,000 refugees to be resettled among european countries. so far the process has been slow. greece complaining that several countries want to pick and choose among the refugees. time is running out here. people are stuck in squalid conditions well below humanitarian conditions set by the e.u. come see, says this lady i'm not lying. inside the tent they are seven year old son. he has no dry clothes and after

15 days hoping in vein she ran on money. >> translation: we rely on hand outs here and there. they give us food and we get along. it's very hard. we toe dough no, i don't what to do >> reporter: they burn wood to plastic bolts and old clothes. it released toxic fumes but kept them warm. with the rain even that option is gone for now staying with that story, sympathy spoke earlier to a syrian man who is desperate to leave that camp. he is angry about the direction of the rev jew issue >> now we are 14,000 people. it's not for this people. about us, we need shoes, water pump, the water is everywhere. if you see here, there is a line

maybe you can find this line is 500 or 70 persons wait for one sandwich. they're just like the animals and we're coming from the war. i lose everything in my country. i lose my daughter and wife. they dead. i coming to another one. it is very bad life. it is a second war here. don't for europe. they sold us. all of europe full. what about america, canada, australia? we are people, we are not animal. looking for a child, who can live here in this tent. nobody can live here my daughter she has five years die in the war. my wife also. when held the child, any child
