starved. it is thought as many as 60,000 civilians are stuck inside. we have that story. >> fallujah, a broken city caught between icel fighters and a siege of government forces. residents are being pushed to the edge. >> families are dying from hunger. people are wandering aimlessly in the street out of hunger. please have mercy on us. we're trapped, quarantined. >> they have left us without solution. we call on humanity and mercy to have examination on us. we done represent isil or any other side. we're just ordinary citizens. >> iraq's on this matter supported by shia groups and u.s.-led coalition airs strikes have been besieging fallujah since late last year. the goal, to break the hold of the city under thousands of isil

fighters inside. but civilians have not been spared. >> the delay in retaking the city is causing suffering and a severe shortage of food and medicine. a solution depends on the dropping of humanitarian aid. >> fallujah was the first city to fall into isil hands back i in 2014. video footage is scant and journalist are not allowed in. people say that food is being used as a weapon. >> fallujah is being systematically exterminated. what is happening is not a matter of arbitrary death. it is systemic. >> the world's u.n. program has nod been able to aid food to fallujah since last september.

reports say that those who are here are subsisting on dried dates, grass and wild plants. they have no other recourse. >> the united nations said more countries should offer to resettle syrian refugees. italy and united states announ announced firm plans to accept more refugees, but the u.n. wants to resettle half a million. >> our target is to offer resettlement and other legal pathways to approximately and at least i would say 10% of the syrian population. 480,000 people who we estimate are the very, very vulnerable among the refugees.

and rubbish on the ground. they cannot accept camps under the railways. the public space must be given back to the citizens, and for them it's not a live. >> while offers of temporary shelters will be welcome by some, a stable security future is what people really want. emma hayward, al jazeera. >> france said it's going to e end--his biggest challenge is to reconcile a divided population since violence began in 2013. north korea's missile program is expected to be the talking point when china andre

and president barack obama meets next week. >> the largest nuclear safety center in asia pacific recently opened in beijing. it's funded by china and the u.s. a sign of the two countries increasingly close cooperation on nuclear issues. it's a relationship spurred in part by north korea's nuclear ambitions. it's government is believed to have conducted four nuclear tests in the last four years and said it is planning more. but how to curve north korea is something that u.s. president barack obama and his chinese counterpart xi jinpin xi jinping will address. >> millions of refugees flooding across the border into china which potentially could mean a take over of the north by south korea, which is an u.s. ally and potentially extending the u.s. influence. >> it is not only in the korean

peninsula that china fears an expanding u.s. presence. it is here in the south china seas where china has become more aggressive in what it sees as it's territory. other territories lay claim to parts of the south china sea. some of its actions including sailing a warship into the area has angered china. >> president xi jinping is more of a nationalist leader and more risk tolerant. he has visions of china becoming regional if not global power. >> that division will ultimately effect the relationship for the united states. the u.s. is already a superpower. china wants to become one. to do that it's ready to redefine its relationship with the u.s. and the rest of the world. al jazeera, beijing. >> a new political chapter started in myanmar after more than 50 years of military rule,

power has passed to mainly civilian government. the president has been sworn in and hi aung san suu kyi has been appointed to lead a number of key ministries. >> an emotional moment after a long and difficult fight for democracy, the president is sworn in. witnessing the historic event, many were jailed. he has been hand picked by aung san suu kyi, who constitutionally is barred from the highest office because they are children are foreign nationals. he immediately announced that he will try to change this constitution. >> as the new government we'll try to establish constitutional principles that are natural

reconciliation for peace and establishment for a democratic union. we'll try to develop the lives of the living standards of the people. aung san suu kyi will be the educatio person who will be exercising the powers of president. all eyes are on this lady, aung san suu kyi. many in myanmar are looking for her for change, but many are not sure how much change she will be able to bring. despite the excitement, celebrations throughout the country were subdued. >> i really wanted to celebrate this era, but i can't because i have to earn money for my children. >> the government evicted hundreds to build a new city.

he hopes the government will compensate him for his land. >> we've lived in a darker are a for a long time. we were always afraid to do something. but now we believe that life will get better. >> but with the military playing a crucial role in parliament and in the new government, many are worried that expectations will be too high. the new president has asked the nation to be patient. for decades the burmese have proven that's exactly what they are. >> we'll be off to colombia after this short break. they will they've asked the rebel group into negotiations to end the decades-long conflict. going to kenya, a breeding ground for the armed group al-shabab.

children every day. last year more than a thousand children have died and 1300 have been wounded an another 10 million are in need of humanitarian aid. >> making a living in heaps of waste. on a good day he can make up to $1. >> last march houthi rebels took over the city cutting it off from the rest of yemen, and earlier this month pro government fighters broke the siege meaning that half a million people could attempt to return to their lives as usual. but like the gorge, frustration has been piling up over the last

year. >> people are burning rubbish to get rid of it. this smoke is creating health issues, especially breathing problems. there are cases of respiratory illness. >> and those numbers will rise with the emergency services in disarray, a plastic company is burning plastic. and it's not known who is running the city. saudi arabia and it's allies wanted to use their air pow to reinstate president abd rabbuh mansur hadi and defeat the hut rebels who removed him from pow. but the rebels wanted a bigger say in governing their country. it's been a year. neither side has achieved its goal.

al jazeera. >> the national assembly have not agreed in with regard to the terrorists. the opposition are hostile to all revision with regard to the state of emergency. >> these proposals to reform the constitution included not only the plan to trip dual nationals of their fresh nationality if convicted of terror offenses but also a plan to make it easier for the president to introduce a state of emergency. parliament has to vote on that. the idea was that the president would be simply be able to by

pass parliament if declaring the state of emergency. in the end françois hollande was not able to facility these proposals. we must remember the atmosphere in which this constitutional reform was first raised. when it was first mentioned. it was in the aftermath of november 13th. he was under pressure from the republican party and far right national front, criticism of the intelligence agency, why did they not know about these attacks. months later we see there is not the support of his own party. ultimately when it came to it the numbers were not there. not with the parliament the national assembly nor in the cada which is where we have

seen this climb down. the left wing national liberation army is said to join in with the talks. manuel santos has staked his presidency on ending the half century conflict with the guerrilla groups. the recommending refugees say they're increasingly afraid of al-shabab. >> a security patrol in the refugee camp. one of five camps in

northeastern kenya. at night these refugees will take over security operations of this sprawling camp home to more than 100,000 somalis. before dark they map out their routes. there used to be 400 volunteers like this, but now there are only 42. many people who join us give us because there is no money but our aim is to keep people safe if. >> safe from criminal gangs and even armed groups. this is the largest camp. the security forces are reluctant to come here at night. government officials and aid workers having been kidnapped by members of al-shabab group. refugees say they're also victims of al-shabab. this man asked us to hide his identity. he said he came to the camp after his brother and his father was killed by al-shabab.

and he still receives mysterious phone calls from people who threaten to kill him, too. he believes they are the same people who killed his relatives. >> my life has become very difficult. i suspect everyone when i move around in the market. i live in constant fear because i know the people who are threatening me could be in this camp. >> the government sees the camp as a security threat. >> we can say that the attacks have gone down. >> al-shabab fighters have carried out attacks in the camp. last year 148 people were killed another in 2014. security forces believe that some of the attacks were planned in the camps. i asked if they think the camps

have been infiltrated by al-shabab. >> the problem you're talking about is real, but i cannot talk freely and explain the details. that should tell you something. these people live in fear. catherine soi. al jazeera. >> downtown beirut feels like one big building site these days. old quarters have been beautilly restored and modern towers have been built where bombed out buildings once stood. the prices for these newly built properties are high and few lebanese can afford to buy here. but these developments are not marketed at locals. they're most often sold to wealthy buyers from the gulf. saudi arabia alone accounts for

85% of foreigners investing in property in lebanon. their real estate holdings are valued at $6 billion. still, it would appear saudi interest in lebanon's property market is declining, sharply. in 2015 the number of sails to gulf citizens dropped by a third. >> it has to do with the political tensions that broke out in the war in syria. a lot of people lost interest in the lebanese market, but they made a handsome profit in lebanon for quite a long time. >> whatever the case, gulf investment in the higher end of lebanon's property market helped to keep the industry relatively stable. but over the past month an escalating dispute between the lebanese government and gulf states has frazzled the economy. the tensions are over the gulf

cooperation councils concerned that hezbollah has become too influential in the region. last month they canceled billions in aid, and they issued travel warnings to its citizens as well as labeling hezbollah as a terrorist organization. >> i can an i sure you whenever the political situation you'll see them in 48 hours because we have a lot to offer them. >> one of the more curious aspects of beirut's restored downtown area is that many of these luxury apartment buildings sit empty. the gulf citizens who owned them only really come here once a year during the summer months. but if tensions between the gcc and the lebanese government don't ease, not only will these

properties currently under construction sit empty after completed, they may not have anybody to buy them. >> rain forests are under threat in bangladesh. >> in the late afternoon of march 19th, a barge carrying more than 1200 tons of coal. >> we have to be very, very careful when we're lifting the coal out. you move it around too much it can start to dissolve and spread in the water. >> the barge in the rain forest was carrying three times as much coal and salvaging that wreck is expected to be a much slower task. it was the third time in two years that a vessel carrying coal or oil has sank in this

particular stretch of the water. after the latest sinking, the bangladeshi government announced a ban of cargo ships in the river. but the man had been previously announced in 2014, only to be lifted this year. >> to shut this down was a huge economic blow to the country. >> the largest man grove rain forests in the world. environmentalists are angry not just what cargo vessels carrying hazardous materials. they're worried about the impact of a coal power plant that will be built just 15 kilometers from the world heritage site.

>> the government said that the coal plant is vital to meet the country's growing energy demands. with economic needs competing with environmental concerns the rain forces remains the center of the tug-of-war between activists and the government >> two white police officers will not face charges in the shooting of jamal clark in minneapolis. >> he does not need to support me. >> the republican presidential candidates back away from their promise to back whoever wins the nomination. world leaders begin to arrive in washington to discuss global nuclear security. >> a case like this is a real punch in the gut for those trying to do the right thing.

>> corruption in detroit's already troubled schools where principals are accused of taking millions in bribes. >> al jazeera america, i'm richelle carey. no charges will be filed against two police officers. >> the evidence does not support the criminal charges. >> the full video of what happened will be available online later today. >> bisi onile-ere is live for us. what does this decision mean for the case? >> good afternoon, richelle, the

decision comes four months after jamar clark was shot and killed. the attorney mike free man talked about the evidence in this case, and he also showed the media some of the video that was captured the night of that shooting. the black lives movement has pushed for months for the release of that video. jamar clark, a black man, unarmed, was shot and killed by a minneapolis police officer when he was involved in a scuffle with two officers. dna evidence supports what those police officers told authorities. that at the time of that scuffle, clark had his hand on one of the officers' weapons. now there are a number of witness accounts, a number of people coming forward who said that they saw that jamar clark was handcuffed during the time of that shooting. that caused a lot of outrage

here in minneapolis. they said that that led to his decision to not charge, not moving forward with charging the two police officers involved. take a listen. >> he repeatedly told his partner, he's got my gun. he's got my gun. he recalls hearing him tell clark let go of the gun or he would shoot. he heard clark say, quote, i'm ready to die. there have been a number of protests in the past. even an 18 day presink in north minneapolis. we know there are two protests

that are scheduled right now the feeling you get in minneapolis is calm, but again that could change an as these protests ramp up today. we're expecting to hear reaction from clark's family. as you can imagine they're disappointed by the attorney's decision. >> why did the county attorney not go with the grand jury option, the grand jury investigation in this case? >> as you know, richelle, there have been a number of police-related shootings involved with unarmed black men and there have been grand juries who have decided not to charge the officers involved in those cases. but in this case the county attorney announced there would be no grand jury decision. that he would make the decision in this case. he said that he feels that it is the job of the county attorney to come up with this decision.

to be accountable for how the case unfolds. that's what happened in this case, the jamar clark case. he said that he did not solely make this decision alone. there are three prosecutors involved with coming down to this decision. >> bisi onile-ere, thank you. the u.s. attorney has announced that the newark new jersey police officers will be under federal oversight new training and 150 new body cameras. peter c harvey has been tapped to oversea the project.

police are looking for two men who are accused of groping and pepper spraying a girl. the incident happened ahead of jump's campaign stop. the video shows the teenager confronting a man in the crowd she accused him of touching her chest. she is pepper sprayed in the face. police say a 19-year-old girl was also pepper sprayed. candidates said that they would support the nominee. all of this declined going back to a pledge the candidates signed with the republican party and that makes the race that much more complicated. the news of the day, the arrest

of donald trump's campaign manager. >> the record alleged that she was assaulted. i would say that's consistent with the campaign. the campaign has been built on attacks and insults. there is no place for insults and permanent attacks. and there should be no place for physical violence either. >> that brought up the vitriol when you go after my wife. when you go after my daughters, that does it. >> when the audience had their turn to ask questions, substance trumped salaciousness. >> how wide does your religion play a part in your decision making. >> most farms in the dairy industry cannot find american-born workers. what is the short-term solution to keep our current labor force intact? would you send an overwhelming force with unrestricted use of

power to obliterate isis? >> last, a change of heart from cruz about supporting the republican nominee. >> if donald trump is the g.o.p. nominee, would you support him? >> let me tell you my solution to that. [ chuckling ] donald is not going to be the g.o.p. nominee. >> when trump was asked if he wanted cruz's support. >> i don't want him to do something that he's not comfortable. just like i can't imagine jeb bush. i beat these beam badly. >> not even john kasich could give the support to the nominee. >> if i think the nominee will hurt the country? i can't stand behind him. we have a ways to go. let's see ho how it folds out. >> what if donald trump is the nominee? >> that's up to the voters. that's too much below the belt.

>> i didn't know there would be security cameras all over. i said this is wonderful. this exonerates him. >> when asked about the tweet war with ted cruz. >> you're running for president of the united states. >> i didn't start it. >> sir, with all due respect, that's the argument of a five-year-old. >> no, it's not. >> it's the argument of a five-year-old, he started it. >> you would say that. >> he was booed when he went after cruz. >> so phoney. i know you have a couple of people out there because you put them in the audience, but it's so false. the whole thing-- >> john kasich continued to take the high road and talk policy. >> i have been able to be able to bishop things in politics, and i'm going to tell you not because i'm so great, but i've been able to attract people throughout the years. i have people who have been around me for 30 years. we form a great team. >> so at last night's town hall

donald trump doubled down on suggestions that other countries should on obtain nuclear to protect itself. >> when you want japan to have newell weapons when north korea has nuclear weapons? and they have them. >> and he shrugged off the moderator. he said that there were countries who could benefit from having nuclear weapons. now his comments to host the fourth and final nuclear summit. dozens of leaders have begun arriving today. jamie mcintyre is live at the pentagon. before we get to the agenda for this, can you put donald trump's comments in some sort of perspective? how they would play out with people who are coming to event? >> you know, there is not a lot of unanimity about nuclear weapons policy in general. but there is one county most experts agree on and that is the

world is a safer place when fewer countries have nuclear weapons than more. united states provides the nuclear umbrella for the defense of south korea and japan and u.s. has had a long-standing policy where it believes that would be a destabilizing effect if you had more people with nuclear weapons. donald trump is out of step with the consensus with the nuclear weapons policy. >> what more can we expect? >> north korea weapons trying to get a hydrogen bomb. even before the summit officially kicks off, president obama will meet in a try lateral discussions with president, the leaders of north korea and japan at the white house followed by a meeting, an one-on-one with

chinese president xi jinping all talking about north korea and what to do to contain the situation there. while the submits, this is the fourth and final one, have been somewhat successful in increasing nuclear materials around the world, it comes at a time when there seems to be more risk of groups who want to do harm, groups like isil of wanting to obtain those nuclear materials. a lot of the conference will be how to prevent groups like isil from getting their hands on nuclear material, not so much that they would make an explosive device like a nuclear bomb, but more like they would be able to use that material to create a dirty bomb. a bomb that disperses radioactive material and therefore terrorizes the population.

>> russia has decided not to participate in this summit. how will that effect the talks? >> well, it won't effect a lot. a lot of this conference is built on individual countries. russia is one of the countries that has a lot of these this is just a case where president putin has decided he's not goi going to this vent that is an u.s. show. >> the white house has turned down calls for former talking of president obama. erdogan will hold talks with vice president biden tomorrow. the administration said this is not a snub. it's just logistics with more than 50 world leaders attending

the summit. the white house has expressed concerns on turkey's crackdown on free expression in media. iran is defending it's launch of ballistic missiles. high i can't tol--ayatollah khamenei said that the tests defy the security council resolutions. the man accused of hijacking egypt's air flight will spend eight more days in jail. he appeared before a judge in cyprus today. he's facing a slew of charges. he threatened to blow up the jet with fake explosive belts. one of the passengers on the plane spoke to al jazeera about what it was like on board. >> it wases a horrifying moment.

i could not believe it, that it was an april fool's joke, that it could not be real. i think most of the passengers felt it was like no end. there is no hope for this plane to land. we were above the sea, and you can never know when and how they can. . bow willing eliminate up to 10% of its workforce. about 8,000 jobs in washington state. the aerospace giant has taken stepped to eliminate 4,000 jobs by june. they said the layoffs will come later in the year if cost-saving targets are not met. up next, the governor of

leave $2.7 million was fraudulent. so the loss to public schools is around $2.7 million. >> scamming school after school for 13 years. a blow to a school district already struggling under more than $500 million deficit. earlier this year teachers for more than 80 schools marched in protest over dilapidated schools, overcrowded classes and not enough supplies. >> the real victims are the students and the families who attend the detroit public schools, the teachers, the educators, who really want the business in the lives of public school children. this is a punch in the gut for those who are trying to do the right thing. while it may seem he is to take a bribe, it is also easy to get caught. we'll catch you and hold you accountable. >> they would take the kickbacks in the form of gifts and gift
