we want to live like everyone else does. we want to go and play without fear of them being harassed by the police. they are supposed to protect them. >> that is "america tonight". please come back. we'll have more of "america tonight" tomorrow. strengthening ties. >> we are very proud to welcomed the first official visit by a canadian prime minister in nearly 20 years. [ cheering and applause ] the white house rolls out the red carpet for canadian prime minister justin trudeau, on the agenda, climate change change and security. inside isil. german officials hope thousands of leaked isil files containing

personal information will help them track down members and recruiters. presidential scandal. >> identity fraud and a crime of money laundering prosecutors in brazil called for the arrest of a popular former president as the prosecution continues into the state-owned oil company and a sombre remembrance, japan marks a 5-year anniversary of the tsunami that led to a nuclear disaster. good evening, i'm antonio mora, we begin al jazeera america's international news hour with canadian prime minister justin trudeau's state visit. his visit is the first official

one by a prime minister since 1997 president barack obama and trudeau met in the office this morning. the warm welcome for justin trudeau extended into the night. barack obama hosted a state dinner. al jazeera's tom ackerman reports from the white house. >> it's been nearly 20 years since the leader of the northern neighbour last received red carpet treatment. newly elected prime minister riding a wave of popularity at home and abroad. working the cloud. at files it appeared there were eyes on the younger of the two men. they engaged in friendly banter over the relationship. they shared a long undefended boarder. there are some stings we'd never

agree on. whose beer is better? whose better at hockey? [ laughs [ laughs ] >> reporter: relations between the neighbours of many ups and downs. justin trudeau's father visited the white house in the '70s, and '80s. richard nixon once belittled pierre describing him as a pompous egg head. the younger justin trudeau is trying to fix a relationship turned rocky. canada and the u.s. agreed to work together. >> we'll take ambition action to reduce emissions nearly by half from the oil and gas sector. reduce use and emissions. an implement aligned.

greenhouse gas e nations for heavy-duty vehicles, to fight climate change. it's not often a canadian prime minister is doing this attention. for some, justin trudeau offered more. a role model for international leadership. >> i'm following offers to the syrian refugees. it's nice and inspiring since everything that happened here, and politicians not wanting to let in the refugees. with obama due to leave the white house in 10 months, justin trudeau can only hope the warm relationship holds up with the next president, whatever that might be. when the question of donald trump as president game up, the canadian prime minister chose a diplomatic dodge. >> joining us from toronto capital is a journalist who has worked for the toronto "star" and the c.b.c. good to have you with us.

two decades passed since the last time a canadian prime minister made a visit to the u.s. why this visit now? >> if i may be a little cynical, it's probably because justin trudeau, prime minister justin trudeau, we call him justin as opposed to pierre trudeau was invited. the last prime minister, stephen harper, conservative, was not. justin trudeau is very much not only prime minister mcdreamy as many americans dubbed him. he's prime minister selfie, and a master of getting his image out there, and there is, like, no better photo opportunity than to be standing in the rose garden next to the leader of the free world, i guess you could say. >> you mentioned the harper administration, u.s.-canada relations were a little more strained especially when it came to the keystone pipeline.

justin trudeau seems to have skirted that issue, is it a sore point with canadians? >> not really. i don't want to get too complicated. the pipeline was going to carry oil from the oil sands in alberta, which is basically bitumen. it's not really oil like you get in texas, it's not crude. it's extremely difficult to get out of the ground. it's no longer profitable to move it the way it could have been 10 years ago when the price of oil was $100. now with it tanking, it's not an issue any more. getting it through the gates is basically a dead issue. >> a sore point on the u.s. side is how trudeau stopped canadian jets bombing isil. that was a campaign promise justin trudeau made. is that a popular choice in

canada, given that canada had a couple of isil inspired attacks. both had been done by canadians. and converts who were loan wolves, and i would say very marginal characters who managed to get guns and opportunity. canadians are divided on withdrawing the jets. what does the united states need, six lousy jets for. we can fulfil our role in a useful way. we are good at training troops, on the ground operations. why not use it if it was good. as opposed to throwing in the entire air force. >> justin trudeau avoided

answering a question. they are both pro-keystone, tougher boarder controls. >> we don't want him back. he was born there. they addressed the boarder controls. one contentious issue among the few is that u.s. claims were trading in lumber. whatever justin trudeau things of trump and cruz, things may not be friendly with trump in the white house. >> that's correct. the last time there was a liberal prime minister and a republican in the white house, that was george w. bush, and when he wanted canada to attack the wrack, we said no. we didn't believe there were weapons of mass destruction. we are a little concerned about a republican president.

not so much as a trump bombast. that he will rip up the free trade agreements. it should only be so easy for him. there's a lot of free trade that is not good for canada. here is a man with offshore operations for a lot of businesses in the past. he's one for talking about free trade. however, justin trudeau was wise to keep his mouth shut since there may not be a democrat in the white house come jamie lyon, and who knows what canada will have to deal with next door. but we will build our own wall on the boarder. >> and no question it's who will pay for it. >> we'll find the money. >> very good to have you with us tonight. >> thank you at least 20 isil fighters were killed after syrian and russian planes attacked positions in palmyra.

35 air strikes on palmyra where isil forces have been battling government troops. the u.n.e.s.c.o. heritage strike has been cleared. monuments, temples and statues. the fop military command erp says omar, known as the chechen, survived the strike. he is reported to be badly wounded. the u.s. led coalition to fight isil, turning over weapons to iraqi authorities. suleman was captured in february. the capture led to a series of air strikes against isil. as well as the group's ability to create weapons. >> they have just received a

treasure trove. they revealed thousands of foreigners who are respected of fighting for the group. the developments regarded these documents referring to one of the aspirant member of the islamic state. first emerging on german outlets n monday. since then they had confirm sayings working on the assumptions that they are genuine, relating to individuals required by the islamic state. if they are gen yuan, they are required to do detailled information about themselves. there is a skill set for the joint organization. clearly the officials in the intelligent services and police services are keen to make whatever use they can because they understand it's news sources. it's implicated in the

documents. and if officers track down those travelling to work and fight with isil in iraq and syria, looking for a return to this country, it will be useful for using services to access the data they can. before they can do anything in the european union. nas is the perspective that the police services have. and they hope that they could use the data to the utmost potential. >> a senior commander in iran's revolutionary guard. the programme will not be stopped. and tehran has missiles on hand. the comments were in response on international concern over a test in the past week.

the spokesman had this to say. >> in the counter political atmosphere, and soon after the positive news, the lifting of sanctions against iran, the secretary-general calls on the republic of iran. to act with moderation, caution and a sense not to increase tensions through hasty actions. >> the revolutionary guard called it a chance to confront a threat. united nations has other concerns about iran, on the human rights situation, saying the iraqi government executed nearly 1,000 prisoners last year. >> my latest report contains information regarding a range of issues. of at least 966 prisoners last year. the highest rate in over two

decades. >> of particularly concern is the execution of juveniles, at least 73 were executed between 2005 and 2015. a violation of international law. egypt and russia challenge a u.n. backed plan to send u.s. peacekeepers home. the two countries spoke out against the proposals today during a security council meeting. it is the first time the security council has addressed the growing number of allegations of sex abuse against u.n. peacekeeping forces. russia says it's a matter that should be addressedly the u.n. secretary general assembly. >> slovenia gives way to a plan for accepting asylum seekers. an "in context" look at deals made charges filed against former

brazilian president silva. a court will despite if he should be arrested.

asylum seekers for settlement. other countries have bulked at accepting 160 thous needs. the european union is trying to settle. the refusal to allow refugees to pass through on the way to western europe created a bottle neck. the european union came up with a plan to manage the crisis. we put it in context. >> reporter: leaders from turkey and the european union came up with a plan to stop the flow of refugees attempting to reach europe. it's a huge problem. let's look at the numbers. they struggled to cope with the the journey. more than 3,700 died trying. it has not deterred others. the numbers are growing. since january this year, 140,000

people crossed into europe, it's not even peak season. numbers are expected to spike from april as winter becomes string. turkey bore the brunt of the crisis taking in 2.7 million, spending more than 9 billion trying to cope. here is what e.u. leaders are proposing. under the plan all refugees that make the illegal crossing will be sent back to turkey. it's a 1 for 1 deal. for every person, an e.u. country will setting a syrian living in a refugee camp. as for those sent back, they'll be pushed to the back of the queue. in return, $3 billion in aid for refugees, it's half of what turkey is seeking. it offered to provide talks for turkey to become a member of the e.u. it's not a done deal.

talks to finalise the agreement planned for 17 march. some influential voices are fiercely critical. the head of the united nations refugee agency expressed concern and the blanket return of anyone, from one country to another, without spelling out the refugee protection safeguards. amnesty international described e.u. and turkish leaders sinking to a low. trading away the rights and dignity of some vulnerable people. add to that. save the people, doctors without borders. the refugee study center, condemning the proposal as an attempt to push problems on to another, an unlikely breach of human rights and refugee law. >> marianna reporting from london. the proposed european plan to stem the influx of migrants came under attack.

al jazeera's james bays reports from geneva. this is a strong rebuke to the european union coming from the u.n. high commissioner, the top human rights. he used his speech, his annual report on the state of human rights. the first thing mentioned. >> e.u.'s draft arrangement with turkey raises concerns. we do not yet have full details of the trust. i plan to discuss the concerns in brussels next week, before the 2-day summit on 17 march. among my concerns is the potential for collective and arbitrary expulsions which are illegal. boarder restrictions which do

not permit determination of the circumstances of each individual. violating international and european law. >> the high commissioner said the situation in greece was dramatic and singled out macedonia, croatia and slovenia. and said boarder restrictions are lamentable. he plans to go to brussels to speak to officials about proposals and hochs when e.u. leaders meet on the 17th they'll revise them and come up with something compliant. >> james bays, diplomatic editor reporting from geneva. joining us for "in context" is a trans-atlantic fellow at the german marshal fund. good to have you with us. this e.u. turkey deal is attacked from the right and the left. let's go down some of the main points, first the exchanging of

refugees that arrive in greece, sending them to turkey, an exchange of one on one. sending it back sounds rough. does it create a disincentive of people risking their lives, getting sent back, they are at the end of the line to get back in. >> that is the purpose here. the idea is not to self-the problem. it's to created an incentive for those that are making their way, the syrians get treatment. 1 for one works for syria. turkey is using this for leverage, it will be centring how it pays out. and what other countries will do

here. and whether the expulsion violates the u.n. refugee. >> it happens both sides, from the left and the right. the u.n. saying it's a violation. given the they are under effect. whether it's sheng gen or other areas, they appear to be under attack. turkey is bearing the brunt. they need to come together. they are working together. is it the best deal. probably not. >> there's concern that if people grant get to europe through turkey. they may make dangerous voyages. how about this initial payment to turkey from the e.u., some are arguing that that is paying blackmail to turkey, is that a

fair criticism. >> this is leverage, turkey has been hosting a large number of refugees. they've been doing that on their own. they've not been taking aid. is it leverage or blackmail. they neil that this is something they have been earning and working towards. that they should be part of this. the larger point is what is the community going to do to stop the flow. the oi are agrees to reopen negotiations to allow turkey to be a member of the european union. the argument is that it would be a deal with the devil wouldn't many actions violate the e.u.'s

charter. >> a challenge we see everywhere, not just in turkey, but in europe and the united states. is a rise of a strong leader boardering on authoritarian. when you are under attack, and you have a civil war raging within the country, with the p.k.k. and syria, there's not many good alternatives. there's a lot of concern. it was dependent on domestic civil liberties. european leaders are less focused on. on the political careers. >> the issue here, promised - they would allow visa free access to europe. that is leaving someone to argue that it would increase concerns about terrorists. >> i don't think the terrorism charges are well-founded. we look at the fact of turkey's strong cooperation, they have a

lot of incentives to work. >> the majority in the '70s, the economy is growing faster. in some ways this could be infusion. they would rather this is coming in. the iraqis and syrians. there's a lot of fear. in all countries we see fear of refugees and terrorism. >> they work together. it will be fascinating to move towards that. >> it depends on. europeans getting their act together. josh walker, good to have your insights on this. >> thank you for having me. >> five years after the fukushima nuclear disaster, why japan's prime minister says devastating events should not cause the country to turn away.
