especially in the authorities. the myth of nuclear energy, of it being economic, safe and clean has been swept away. >> "fukushima: a nuclear story," narrated by willem dafoe. this is al jazeera america. we have a look at today's top stories. a scare for donald trump today in a rally in ohio. a man is arrested after trying to jump the staining >> how can you be shocked? this is the guy, remember, who was sure that i was born in kenya the president talks about

donald trump's message saying no-one should be surprised by what they're hearing. in somalia, the u.s. steps up the fight against al-shabab, one of the most feared rebel groups in the world. tonight a look at who they are and what they want. plus an app for rating people just as you would a movie or restaurant. want to check up on somebody's reputation, download the people app we begin tonight with a campaign scare in ohio. a man rushes the stage apparently trying to charge donald trump during a speech just outside dayton. secret service agents stopped

the protest and wrestled him to the ground. police arrested 22-year-old thomas demacino and charged him with inducing panic and disorderly conduct. he was released saturday afternoon. it comes after donald trump cancelled a rally last night after protesters swarmed the arena where he was due to speak. our correspondent reports from cleveland on how trump supporters and detractors recollected to the latest campaign events. >> reporter: most of the people we spoke to say they were already planning to attend donald trump's rally here in cleveland before they saw what happened in chicago. some backers say they support him even more now while protesters say they are even more afraid he will become president. >> they said to tell your people to be nice, but my people are really nice >> these are people that truly

don't want to see hour country be great again. >> reporter: a man in the audience rushed the stage before the secret service scrambled to stop him >> thank you for the warning. i was ready for them, but it's much easier if the cops do it. don't we agree. >> reporter: across the state in cleveland protesters waited for donald trump's next appearance. >> the hate that he has preached across the country needs to be challenged >> reporter: some said the protests in chicago inspired them to come out >> seeing the folks stand up, it sparked something inside me to say there is no better place than i be here right now >> yesterday in chicago we had a little bit of a problem. we came, we were not allowed to exercise our first amendment rights >> reporter: also waiting for

donald trump was his supporters >> i was upset about him being not allowed to speak and that the people to see him were denied their right to listen >> you have a right to protest but not to cause a riot. >> reporter: people say they were planning to come here and felt it was more important to attend after what happened this chicago >> we want to show that we're not scared and we are here to support him >> reporter: they had a chance to show their support when a handful of protesters erupted. >> do you know where they come from? bernie's crowd. thank you. get them out. good. >> reporter: a few groups of anti trump protesters have been escorted out from inside this crowd. at times they riled up donald trump supporters and other times

they were ignored >> no-one was pushing on them >> this is a private event for donald trump and he has the right not to have protesters here >> reporter: he plans to hold another rally in ohio. he has high approval rating that suggest ted cruz is in a fight race with trump here other presidential capped dates are responding to the chicago protests against donald trump. this is what two of the republicans had to say. donald trump has created a toxic environment. it has allowed his supporters and those sometimes who seek confrontation to come together in violence. there is no place for this. there is no place for a national leader to pray on the fears-- prey on the fierce of people who live in our great country. >> if we have to look at the

rhetoric, this is a man who told his supporters to beat up the people in the crowd and he will pay their legal fees. someone who has encouraged them to rough up anyone that says anything he doesn't like two candidate condemned and blamed donald trump for violence at his campaign rallies. >> when he talks about things, "i wish we were in the old days when you could punch somebody in the head", what do you think that says to his supporters? what happened when a young man escorted out and he was sucker punched. the issue now is that donald trump has to be loud and clear and tell his supporters that violence at rallies is not what america is about and to end it >> >> the ugly difficult vie sieve retrospect reck - drn divisive erhetoric from donald trump and

violence and aggression is not only wrong by dangerous. if you play with matches, you can start a fire you can't control. that is not leadership. that is political arson back now to senator marco rubio who is in florida his home state. he is expressing confidence ahead of the vote, but polls show donald trump is leading among florida's republicans. he has more than 40% of the polled vote, marco rubio second with almost 25%, ted cruz 18%, john kasich in fourth place with 9%. especially important in florida is a latino vote. >> reporter: marco rubio about to walk out on the stage behind me at any moment. it is his fifth stop of the day and last stop.

i think he will come oat energized. there are about 1.4 million cubans here in the state of florida, four million hispanics and those are important votes for marco rubio and all the candidates frankly. right now as far as the cuban population here, marco rubio has it at 57%. we have seen signs in this crowd. there are cuban voters here, but donald trump has 13% of the cuban vote and ted cruz 12 months. it appears at least right now by this new poll that marco rubio will take the hispanic and the cuban vote here in florida, but will that be enough? who knows. 99 delegates are what is going to be taken here in florida in this second super tuesday coming up. right now, as you noted earlier, donald trump according to the new poll has the lead here robert ray there. president obama was also talking

about donald trump this weekend while stopping at a rally in texas. he addressed several hundred donors in austin and dal aas. he urged both republican and democratics to debate in debate >> a debate inside the other party that is fantasy and schoolyard talks and selling stuff like it's the home shopping network. then you've got the republican establishment. we're shocked that somebody would be saying these things. how can you be shocked? this is the guy, remember, who was sure that i was born in kenya. who just wouldn't let it go.

all this same republican establishment, they weren't saying nothing amid the jokes which included jabs at trump wine and trump steaks, he says he take no pleasure at what is going on in the republican race. marco rubio is a winner tonight taking the washington dc caucus with 37% of the vote, john kasich with 36%, donald trump receiving 14%, ted cruz 12%, but cruz won the wyoming 662, ted cruz and donald trump less. there was senator cruz picking up one delegate and five are uncommitted. hillary clinton won today's cautious in the north islandsment she picks up 4 delegates with 54% of the vote, bernie sanders gets two.

looking at tuesday on the campaign trail where a mountain of delegates are up for grabs of the both democrats and republican $holding primaries and caucuses in in regard do, ilmys, missouri, north carlino and ohio. candidates are in a final push to sway voters before tuesday's big show down. on the republican side marco rubio trying to close the gap in his home state. john kasich focusing on his home state of ohio, boosted by the endorsement today of jane baner. current front runner donald trump started in ohio and then move on to missouri which is where ted cruz and his wife heidi stopped today. joining them former carly fiorina who has thrown her support behind ted cruz. democratic front runner hillary

clinton is in ohio also joined by her husband and vermont bernie sanders addresses voters in illinois in an effort to further narrow the gap between him and mrs clinton. tomorrow night in our sunday night look at the week ahead, presidential candidate donald trump and race as we head towards another big week of primaries to look at the visible and sometimes violent rise of racism among some of his supporters. that's tomorrow night at 8 p.m. eastern. violence continues to ranl on as the war in syria enters its sixth year today. the warring sides said they will be in geneva when peace talks resume on monday, but the syrian regime says it will not discuss the future of president bashar al-assad. more on that story from al jazeera's diplomatic editor james bays. >> reporter: both sides say they're coming to geneva for the talks. the confirmation from the government coming from the

deputy prime minister and foreign minister at a news conference in damascus, but he made it clear the role of president bashar al-assad was not up for discussion. >> translation: we are adamant on holding the integrity and sovereignty of syria as one state. at least this is what has been reiterated by the international documents release, including those released in an attempt to resolve the situation in syria. >> reporter: those comments have angered the opposition. the u.n. have always made it clear that there should be no preconditions for these talks. the u.n. special envoy, staffan de mistura, in an interou for the al jazeera program says that he hopes to get the substantive issues on day one. >> in concrete, we can say that when we started talk in earnest, in other words, the substantive

talks on the 14th, we will have some preparatory meetings. before that we will be able to at least tell everyone this is happening, therefore, one is not enough and we need to push further and, two, now we can concentrate on the real agenda. what is it? the political process. what is that? well, it is a new governance that is a very carefully chosen word in vienna to include something completely different in terms of what we're having at the moment. second, a new constitution, not the old approach, and, three, new elections with u.n. supervision. >> reporter: so the stage is set for an important day on monday. the first day of this round of talks and they're going to discuss the crunch issues, the future governance of syria

the head negotiator of syria opposition in geneva is adamant that president bashar al-assad must go. the various rebel groups have different ideas on just how that should happen. our correspondent reports on the infighting position >> reporter: fighting in syria two weeks into a partial ceasefire agreed by many sides in the war, but not all. in activist video rebels say they're taking villages from government forces. earlier in the week people said they had been hit by air strikes >> translation: military planes had air strikes after prayer. >> reporter: there is less violence in other parts of the country. in idlib people felt safe nef to koum out onto the streets once again. they have been in protest with the government since the ceasefire began. these demonstrators are

complaining about fighting between different opposition groups. the free syrian army and al-nusra front, the groups that have signed up to the ceasefire. >> translation: we are here to serve you, the syrian people, the king and the jewel on the crown. you are the true masterers. you are our true leaders. i am the son of syria, just like you. this is only a phase in the syrian revolution and it will go away. those who don't belong here will veemly leave our land. >> reporter: eventually leave our land. >> reporter: there are many opposition groups in syria. they all agree that president bashar al-assad has to go but not how to get there >> there are laterally thousands of different groups that comprise this opposition. there are deep divisions among the main ones over whether they should participate in a peace process or not. >> reporter: rebels are blaming

each other for the recent fallout in idlib, even though syrian people are asking them to put aside their differences. disagreements on just western australian side of the fighting in syria's deeply complex war > efforts-- efforts of al-shabab and the search for the next einstein lands in sen gallon--; enegal where the search is on for the next great mind >> if people are laughing at him and they're not taking them serious as a pension candidate later the rhetoric of the presidential campaign inspires a new art form and it's all about trump. trump.

the u.s. ramped up efforts in the fight against al-shabab, an armed group based in somalia. it generally receiveslets attention from the u.s. compared to i.s.i.l. and boko haram and al-qaeda. but it is regarded as a comparable threat. tonight we take a deeper look at how it came to be, what its members want and what recent actions by the american military mean for its future. washington says more than 150 fighters deed in last week's drone camp. they were training them for attack on u.s. and african union forces. it suggests that al-shabab is gaining strength and unafraid to

gather in large numbers. it comes a year after their biggest attack on kenya's university, a christian college, and before that it was behind a well pubicised public mall. it has staged suicide bombings in and around mogadishu. the current form is just the latest organization to battle for control in somalia, one of the world's most impoverished countries. >> reporter: this week u.s. voechl against al-shabab appears to have been stepped up. two incidents were made public. the u.s. said monday drones attacked a training camp. 150 fighters were apparently killed. there are no pictures, not even cell phone video, but they posed

an helped threat >> the removal of those terrorist fighters degrades the group's objectives to meet their goals. >> reporter: by mid week they spoke of further involvement. this time u.s. special operations helicopters flew forces on a mission. they didn't continue to the actual target did you two dozen al-shabab fighters were killed in that operation. although al-shabab says it was only one >> there were u.s. forces in the train advising the company mode as they had been in the past in somalia. there was a small number of u.s. forces. >> reporter: al-shabab means the youth is affiliated to al-qaeda. they're trying to overthrow the government in somalia which has very little influence other than

mogadishu. they're having massing car bombings like this. recently a member set-off a device on this somali aircraft. despite the hole, the plane landed safely. news of this week's two operations against al-shabab appears to speak of a desire of the u.s. and african union to stop al-shabab at a time when i.s.i.l. is migrating from the middle east to africa. in particular, the muslim countries of the north and east joining me now in the studio is mike lyons and kenneth minkhouse. who exactly is al-shabab? how long has the organization been around? >> al-shabab is a jihadi

movement in somalia, mainly of somalis but not all. it has been around 2004, and they carried out 2007 territory. but have been on the heels in recent years thanks to advances by the peace-keeping forces what is their primary objective? >> their primary objective is to stop the progress of the federal government of somalia to discredit it, to demoralise it and to lose confidence in it and their hope is to drive the african union peace-keeping forces out at which point al-shabab would be the strongest military organization on the playing field to what extent is al-shabab a direct threat to the u.s. and her allies?

>> they are virtually no threat to the u.s. however, they threaten allies in the region. it is a good example of the microcosm of what is happening, that the groups that threaten the government. if we don't take care of it will continue to grow and me tasmania ties-- metastasize we first heard about problems with black hawk down. are any of the people involved with al-shabab descendants of that conflict? >> al-shabab translated means the youth. it is a group that offers things to the youth of the country. it is a relatively new movement

but it catches fire, and it sees what is happening in other groups. it is more affiliated with al-qaeda than i.s.i.s. right now to what extent would you say the african union peace enforcement mission has or has not been effective in suppressing or taking on al-shabab? >> it has been partially effective. it has protected the federal government of somalia reasonably, well key installations in the capital. it has, because of its superior fire power, it has been able to push al-shabab out of all major cities, including mogadishu. that has forced al-shabab to operate from mainly rural areas and rely more on a network of operatives in the capital and other cities to operate hit and run suicide bombings and other

terrorist attacks. the problem for the europe peen peace-keeping forces is that they can't finish this job. it is very difficult to target, it is engaging in these attacks. it is a job for the somali national army to finish up. so far it has not been able to do that would either of you care to take this, how many people do you think comprise fighters for al-shabab? how many folks are we talking about? >> they've estimated 7,000. it is a small relative force and, again, a microcosm of what exists in other locations. you would need a force of about 20 to 21,000, three times, to go on the offence to totally wipe them out. they've gone to warfare and it is going to take going on the ground, not just the drone strategy that the u.s. has

employed we saw the report of 250 filled last weekend by the american drone strike. some people are denying that it happened saying that some of the leaders thatway said who were killed weren't killed. what are your associates telling you about how significant our strike was? >> whether or not it happened, i think it's clear it happened. the details, none of us knows right now. i think what's most important about that air strike is the precedent that it set. up to this point, the u.s. government, at least in the braigs, has been reluctant to use force in-- obama administration, has been very reluctant to use force. they have, but not after rank and file necessity recruits in training camps like this. this is a big challenge-- new recruits. it seems to significant that

they - the government sees a need to support the african union peace-keeping forces in the air and, frankly, given the fact that al-shabab is operating in rural areas trying to hit african union forward bases, they're quite vulnerable. we can see them from satellite $. so this is a tactic that could certainly set al-shabab back back. there is a danger of blow back. when you kill large numbers of people, most of who are probably just kids with no commitment to al-shabab, they're just there for the salary, you make all of their clans men and extended families unhappy. time will tell if this will have a positive or negative impact do you have any idea who is providing al-shabab for the funds-- with the funds to pay the fighters and the materials? >> they have stolen it from amazon, from the somali

government. they're very good at that. they've changed their tactics. they recognised that they have to good it somehow. they have sole it similar to what i.s.i.l. did. they train on it quickly and easily and they turn it back against - they're not necessarily fighting for their own country. from a soldier's point of view, they don't possess the battle as much as it would be a somali government or citizen because they're coming from outside. they have been very successful. they've attacked the forward bases and they've turned it around. that is a strategy that won't hold off very long the african union troops are there because somali doesn't have its own force. what is the possibility of them getting an army that can counter al-shabab? >> it is slow. the first thing to do is protect

the current government and leader and capital, but going out of that area, getting out of that region and it is the wild west. there's no control. the capital doesn't control areas which allows these tortial arguess to run free -- territorial regions to run free at one point it seemed that they pledged loyalty to i.s.i.s. which is at odds with al-qaeda, as i understand it. >> al-shabab has pledged loyalty to al-qaeda central. there was a small wing of dissidents within al-shabab that pledged support to i.s.i.s. they have been marginalised and a few killed by al-shabab. that has been an internal feud that has preoccupied them for a number of months. i think the pofr thing to know about that question is it doesn't make a whole locality of

different. al-shabab doesn't rely heavily on al-qaeda. it never has. not for money or material support, not for recruits. so for the moment this is a largely academic question. that could change over time do you think that we will see more involvement by u.s. military against al-shabab in somalia, even as the u.s. focuses on so many other conflicts in that region? >> i think this administration will continue to provide the type of drone operations that they get a target of opportunity and they will take it. you won't see any u.s. troops on the ground. somalia is a place where we have lost american soldiers, so there's a sensitivity part of it in the pentagon as well, but i don't think you will see any change to the administration. they want the somali government to take care of the problem

i thank my guests for being with us. >> thank you up next, the search for africa's next einstein. some of the world's top scientists gather in west africa. they're there to meet some of the brightest young mind on the kopt net. plus a-- continent. a basketball player taking his team places.

violence on the trails of

the race in alas ka. four time champion were attacked. one dog was killed and two others injured. despite the death of his dog, he says he will continue the race with the remaining 11 dogs on his team. state troopers say the attacker turned himself in. six skiers are dead. search and rescue operations are underway. the group had gone off the trail so rescue crews are unsure how many had tracked up the mountain. it is the worst incident in years there. hundreds of scientists gather in sengal in a hope to find the next einstein. they work to close the gap

between africa and the rest of the world. >> reporter: this man sees the world in numbers. he believes everything from the universe to the decisions fishermen take out in the ocean have an equation. he is the son of a peanut farmer and one of the brightest einstein fellows. >> i admired out lolooks of einstein. >> reporter: top academics teach african students who can't afford to go to mit or harvard but are just as bright. like this man, he grew up in a remote village with barely enough to eat and no electricity

at home. he spent his childhood hungry staring at the sky. he now studies cosmology. >> believe you me, we will take care of things, and we will see the identity will come from here. just wait and see. >> reporter: the next einstein forum has been started here. organisers of forum seek to address what it calls research discrimination. they say there is much african research with plenty of findings, but the work is under looked and under valued because it comes from the continent. many are sharing their

innovations with business leaders and academics >> it is something that the world of aids has totally over looked. one trillion dollars has been spent over the last few decades in aid to africa. none on it on generating expertise in africa to design and implement its own solutions. we've seen the consequence. solutions from outside don't work. >> reporter: for being an einstein fellow it is an opportunity of being part of something bigger. he hopes his skills may some day unlock the deepest mysteries of this world and its untapped resources the university of saint francis in illinois lost last night, but they may not have made it that far if not for one stand-out player. he has beaten all the odds and proven he has got what it takes

to take the court. >> reporter: look at the finger by that. >> reporter: at first glance this six for six guard from florida has it all. a mean drive, quick feet, a killer 3 point shot. but when the coach was considering recruiting landis anderson, something seemed odd. >> i kept moving my phone, he is only playing with his left arm. what is the deal here? >> reporter: he has a neurological disability that allows him limited use of his right hand, but a sdanlt his mother was having none of it. >> i remember struggling tying my shoe and saying i can't do it and she got on me about that. >> reporter: to motivate him,

she learned to tie her own shoes with one hand just to prove that it could be done. >> my dad head out a lot as well, but my mum showed me that tough love and then take it easy on meened taught me i could do whatever i wanted >> reporter: it didn't hurt that they both played college basketball. during a stel yardoctor - stellar player, he didn't realized he was disabled until someone said something. i remember my mom looking at me saying to play marreder. even with a face mask to protect an injured eye. he is thriving at the university of saint francis. the coach looked beyond his

disability and saw something extraordinary. >> he has this upbeat energy and tenacity with which he attacks every day. so i guess whatever theanteth are esis, those are the feelings that i have for him. >> reporter: he has heard that he would be playing big time division 1 basketball if only? >> it pushed me to work harder to be the best. as i god older, i just loved playing basketball. >> he throws it down >> reporter: it shows as the fighting guard he averages 8 points a game. all the while maintaining a three point 8 gpa in criminal justice. thanks in part to him the team is 28 and 3 this year, the best record in school history

>> he is using his size and strength >> reporter: the big dance will produce stunning place and break out stars. -- plays and break out stars. he won't be won of them. for him, that's okay. >> sometimes thoughts creep in what would life be like if this injury didn't occur, but i'm happy incredible young man. up next, new art form, inspired by donald trump's rhetoric. >> the basic concept behind the whole thing is if people are laughing at him, then they're not taking him serious as a presidential candidate plus an app where someone can rate you as a person just like a restaurant or a hotel. that is making some folks pretty

nervous

seattle is looking to break new ground for workers' rights again. two years ago legislation caused membership wages to rise to $15 an hour. >> reporter: when this woman isn't walking her dog, you will find her at starbucks.

>> i love the customer direction. >> reporter: it is a job she has held off and on for the past decade. she envoys people find that perfect drink but her work schedule has been unpredictable >> i would fluctuate. one week i had eight hours and the next 38. >> reporter: it is a complaint the seattle city council member says she hears a lot from low wage earners. >> people who are at the bottom, the people who have the least amount of wealth and opportunities are women and people of color who work in hourly minimum wage jobs. we have, i believe, a moral obligation to correct that. >> reporter: she is one of a couple of seattle city council members working on what she calls secure scheduling legislation.

the proposal would require employers to provide workers with two weeks advance notice of their schedules. it would require employers to offer more staff the opportunity of offering current employees working as full-time. >> a problem that happens everywhere,way would have this problem sunday to monday. >> reporter: university of washington, who has been studying the effects of the $15 an hour minimum waning says prohibiting opening and other schedules practices could end up costing employers >> business owners that are asking employers to do these things with their schedules, working consecutive shifts or having uncertainty, they know it's not great for the worker but it's good for the business. if the city council were to pass an ordinance along these lines, it is shifting the balance in

favor of the workers, but increasing the costs of business. >> reporter: the proposal has the attention the restaurant industry which responded by saying as employers in the hospital industry, we are concerned about what a mandated restrictive scheduling policy could mean to our employees and our businesses. cities like san francisco is consideri consideri considering similar changes >> it is only been in a few years that we see the movement here. why? because the will exists to help employees. >> reporter: low wage earners are given the best shot >> it's all of these coming together that will create an environment where working families will have a shot at achieving the american dream. >> reporter: a dream that may

come with higher costs for businesses in seattle the cop row versal new people app is up and running. it allows users to give ratings to others. critics warn that people could soon be a platform for online bullying or cyber revenge. >> reporter: it is pretty straightforward here. users of the people app can rate people in three categories, permanent, professional and romantic. it writes that the purpose is to provide a reference check for the people around us. >> if there was an ap-- app that was like the yelp for people, what do you think about that? >> reporter: the internet has the power to ruin lives. when this was announced there was an explosion of negative feedback, he is a jerk, she is really cool.

since then, the company has changed the features. it avoids being an arena of changes. >> you are not aanonymous on our app. you cannot have your profile started by anybody else. you have 100% opt-in ability and we want to make sure you have control of what goes live >> reporter: what is wrong with that? reviews are one of the great inventions of the internet age. the information age has made it possible to read out on anyone or anything before having a personal encounterer. long people don't hide behind a pseudonym, what is the problem? it's one thing to write about a product or qualifications, but about their quality as i ahuman

being is a different thing. here is how one builder described it to us >> it is something that you cannot review. it's very subjective, personal. somebody who is great for you may not be not so great for somebody else. i think just the concept of reviewing people is not appropriate. >> reporter: here is where people has really crossed the line. the company says you can't publish a negative review of somebody on the app and it is about positivity, it has told outlets that it is considering a truth licence in which paying users could access unpublished negative reviews of even nonusers of the ap punishing. the terms and conditions give the app irrevocable ownership of anything written on the platform. this is not just something you jot down what you made or did and it jots down who you are in

and the basic consent behind the whole thing is if people are laughing at him, then they're not obtaining him serious as presidential candidate. >> reporter: the collection has grown. over two dozen in ail. >> it is the kind of stuff stuff that comes out of his mouth is scary me and it feels like this is how it started with hitler. >> reporter: the crown jewel is actually a porcelain thrown >> he lies about everything he is saying and he is full of bleep bleep, and that the title of this piece, full of bleep bleep [ bleep ]. >> donald trump is calling for a shut down of muslims entering the u.s. >> people were upset and shocked, but people weren't that angry. it was kind of confusing to me.

they were like, no, he is just fun oo. he is so crazy. no-one is taking him seriously. i'm like actually he just said the most vicious hate speech that he could making us feel like we might be the japanese back in the 50s. >> how are you? >> reporter: muslim actor created an mocumentary, about his illegitimate daughter >> if donald trump supporters are white, eevangelical muslim heighters, then the one thing he cannot say he loves is muslims. he can't say, it is so great that a muslim woman is playing my muslim daughter. i love it. it's great. it's true. he can't say that. >> reporter: they understand that their work will get more attention to the man they fear
