lower tech dirty bomb if it fell into the wrong hands. there's no doubt if the mad men got their hands on a nuclear bomb. they would use it to kill as many as possible. we have to start securing them. they head a group that advocates for smaller stockpiles. he gives credit for making head way. with the rise of isil progress is too slow. the summit will make it safer. this is a good thing that we are doing. when you flee a forest fire, it's not just the direction, it's the speed. can you go fast enough to get to safety by catastrophe engulfs you. >> the glaring absence of the fourth and final nuclear summit

was russia's president vladimir putin. russia boycotted the meeting, despite the fact it sits on large stockpiles of nuclear materials. >> we funded for years programs in the states and the former soviet union to secure the materials. vladimir putin has ended that cooperation, he has closed down facilities to any kind of u.s. cooperation. >> in the closing news conference president obama conceded more needs to be done. >> there's a great deal of nuclear and radioactive around the world. global stocks of plutonium are growing. nuclear arsenals are expanding in some countries with more weapons, that could be at greater risk. >> this is the last of the summits planned at the leader level. the delegations provided a

their lives. slabs fell on to a rickshaw that was taking the son and daughter-in-law to a yeesh market. >> i have lost everything, the family has gone. i'm 75 years old, and i'm left with my grandson. what do i do about his future. i don't know what to do without my son. >> the search for vehicles trapped under the debris continued through the night. no one was put out alive. the chief minister cancelled all her campaigning for upcoming state elections. vowing that those responsible will be punished and there'll be an investigation. but in the light of day, locals say they are skeptical. they worry that the elections are the focus of politicians attention right now. two years ago a flay over

of a holding center, upset about an e.u. deal. return asylum seekers to turkey, starting on monday. they broke through the razor wire fence, heading to a port, demanding to continue their journey to better lives. >> deportation is a big mistake. we have risked a lot to come here, especially during the crossing from turkey to greece. we were smuggles here. we gant go back. we'll repeat the trip again and again. we are running away to save our lives. >> 1500 refugees are in that asylum center. the legality of the deal hinges on turkey being a safe country for asylum. a report claims that is not the case. it sends refugees back to the war zone in syria, sometimes by

the hundred. the united nations is compressing concerns about the e.u. turkey deal. asher hodara filed this report from greece. >> the u.n. again expressing concern about the e.u. turkey deal, three days before it is to be implemented. hundreds of migrants landing on the shores. the u.n. it concerned about the positions inside the facilities. the u.n. says that's an overcrowded lack of sanitation. it's not just that. the world organization is worried that these people, the asylum requests are not processed because of the lack of time. and they are concerned that the international law has been violated. today we are urging the parties

to the recent e.u. and turkey agreements to ensure that all safeguards are in place before returns begin. this is in light of serious gaps. >> the u.n. is concerned about 50,000 migrants. the people are not part of the deal. they have been trapped since europe closed their boarders. they are growing and tensions are on the rise. we have heard of fights between the different communities on the ground. many stranded - no one picks up calls. greece does not have the capacity to process the asylum requests. >> without urgent e.u. support, the limited capacity of the greek asylum service to register

and process claims will create more problems. there are limited hours of the registration. lack of access to the skype system for registration, whereby people receive appointments and interviews via skype. this is adding to the anxiety. >> the e.u. is intent on implementing the deal. it will be a show of force to show refugees that they are serious, since the deal came in effect on march 20th. the arrivals continue. a lower number than in the past. but people still continue to land on greece's shores. deportation could be seen as a deterrent joining us via skype is rarmy koori, a senior fellow in beirut and the middle east initiative at harvard.

good to see you. the syrian president told russian media that he would be willing to discussion a political transition, but it means that will -- that he will stay in power and allow some opposition leaders into the government. >> that wouldn't satisfy anyone. >> it would only satisfy him. it wouldn't be enough to reach an agreement. the original agreement starting the process for the future syria was in geneva two years ago. there was a vaguely worded statement that everyone agreed to, talking about a transitional process elections and things like that. he said that he has to lead the process. the opposition must leave at the beginning or during the process, and there's no agreement. so there probably won't be a break through in the

negotiations in geneva, which means the focus will be the military and other conditions on the ground. >> it's difficult that the talks will move forward, when they have preconditions. talking about what is happening inside syria from a military standpoint. bashar al-assad's forces are gaining ground. is isil on its heels to the point that the syria government can move towards raqqa? >> not quite. the situation is that the syrian government forces made advances in some areas around aleppo, and taking palmyra, but they could only do it with russian air-power and support from iran and hezbollah. they have some support, but it

is weak. there are significant advances made. there are attacks. there are fights between isil and some of the other rebels. there's a messy situation in which the advantage is moving. bashar al-assad is confident. therefore that's also negotiations. >> leading to the comments he's making about staying in power. >> recently they killed two of i.s.i.l.'s top leaders. how damaging is the strategy of chopping off the head of the organization been. >> i wouldn't call it the head of the organization. the people had 15-20 years of operation. al-qaeda and other groups have

been subjected to attacks by american jones and other forces. so they adjusted to the reality. and they have set up megan issues locally based. so the blow will not be as significant as it may be. it's like killing osama bin laden. it didn't cause a problem. >> the iraqis made progress against isil, there were reports today that trapped civilians stalled advances. progress will be slow. progress will be slow. it will happen.

takes it through this time. he said that. it's clear now that any time it happened, kurdish or iraqi or whatever it may be. british militants, it's going to be a process. it was by the russians, and we heard that we were raising problem. and trading i.s.i.l.

bashar al-assad is going from one to the other thing. >> it's suspected and isil has other people as well. it's linked to al nusra front. islam and other groups. they are a writing against isil. they have the americans, the saudis, and iraqis say they'll have people operating there. it's a bit like a food fight and a college cafeteria. actually it's frustrating. it's sorting out slowly. as they become more organized as the russians give the syrians

strength. this will be clear in the next year. >> thank you. pressure mounts for south africa's president to resign. some of the money. also a programme that tries to heel wounds. giving job training to veterans and former rebels in the same
