♪ the race to the white house in the united states and republican presidential hochful ted cruz has defeated sfwront runner donald trump, a heighter contest for the democrats but bernie sanders, both candidates delivering victory speeches saying they have the momentum state three weeks ago, media said wisconsin was a perfect state for donald trump. but hard working men and women of wisconsin stood and campaigned tirelessly to make sure that tonight was a victory

for every american. >> bernie sanders after a difficult start says the vict victory is with him. >> in our victory with wisconsin, we have now won seven out of eight of the last caucus and we have won almost all of them with overwhelming, landslide numbers. kimberly halkett has the wraps from wisconsin. >> reporter: the path to the nomination has certainly become more difficult for both the republican and democratic frontrunners, donald trump and hillary clinton. as a result of these victories in the wisconsin primary, ted cruz speaking to his supporters thanked them and said that he is now the one who can unify the

republican party. speaking indirectly to the fact that donald trump that certainly gathered an awful lot of negative press which could have contributed to his significant loss here in this state. on the democratic side, bernie sanders also defying what he said were the media and polster expectations showing that he has the grassroots support he needs to win the democratic party nomination and now promising with a win in wisconsin as well as in previous states that he will go on to win even bigger states, allowing him to also find a pathway to the republican or rather democratic nomination. but still, the delegate math favors the frontrunners, donald trump and hillary clinton. at the same time, what we have seen is their momentum has been blunted and the pathway to those nominations just got a lot more messy. >> lanna brown, a professor of politics at the george washington universities. she said the.

>> it is true that senator sanders has won a number of contests. we have to look at what type of contests these are. and what he has been doing very well in and doing well among are those who are independents who are able to vote in these open primaries like wisconsin or in closed caucus contests. so we see that this race by the time it moves to new york will have a very different character. new york has a closed primary. >> means that democrats are the ones who will be voting, not independents, and when you look tonight, even at the exit polls, senator sanders and secretary clinton split democrats 50/50. well, certainly, ted cruz's win tonight is a large one and a significant one. i mean he did post at least what were expecting to be a 15% margin that is much larger than any of

the polls predicted wisconsin was going to be. and again, i think it's also important to look. he won republicans in this contest. donald trump likes, like senator sanders won independent. as we move forward, these close contests will change the character of the race, and i do think on the republican side, we are certainly looking at a contested convention whereas on the democratic side, hillary clinton is likely to gain the delegates she needs to win the nomination, butnator sanders will be able to kind of stay a thorn in her side, perhaps all the way through june. >> one of libya's leading political groups has anow is ed it will be ceasing activities. this is seen as a step towards political unity. other parties remain united over a u.n. brokered deal.

>> reporter: the u.n. special envoy to libya is all smiles. that's because he managed to reach the capitol to meet part of the unity government he helped form. but he knows further progress won't be easy or quick. >> it must become again an international city where the embassy re-opened their embassies. this will take some time. it may not be tomorrow but we all have to push together. >> he was greeted with the news that a triply based political group would step aside. the government isn't the only challenger. another has refused the u.n. broker ed deal. repeatedly rejust a second the government of national accord also known as the gna. >> veteran politician has been tasked to head the gna with a challenge to unite libya. he arrived by sea because threats prevented him from arriving by air. since then, he has been mostly

confined to a naval base. this is the first time libyans have reason to be optimistic after months of fighting has reduced many cities to rebel and caused a power vacuum being exploited by arms fighters and groups linked to isil. our main demand t have the government, security and an army. we don't want militia. we want a government of unity. we want an army, police, salaries and stability. we want a state that can protect its borders. simple demands are a major challenge for libya. political rivalries and malitias and other armed groups. >> iceland's prime minister is the first casualty of the so-called panama paper scandal which shows how some public figures are avoiding tax. he had resigned after documents showed his wife had moved millions of dollars offshore to

the virgin islands. >> reporter: it is as far as you can imagine from iceland to the british virgin islands but the attempt by the prime minister here to help hide his wife's wealth there have finally, caught up with him. anna rungs an ice cream country. lots oft. >> very sour and bitter. >> leaves a sour taste in your mouth? >> yeah. yes. like we all feel today. >> is that how you feel about it? >> yeah >> sad and i am ashamed like i am ashamed to be an icelander. >> having walked out of the interview spent monday saying he wouldn't resign and tuesday saying he would if his coalition partners would i want stand by him. for now, it's a stand-off.

opposition groups believe he won't last until a planned know confidence vote on thursday. >> no meetings in the parliament. no chamber meetings or committee meetings because people feel the parliament cannot function in this state of crisis. we have a full-fledged political crisis and everybody except the prime minister, himself, recognized this has done tremendous damage to the reputation of iceland in an international context. >> protests over all of this reflects betrayal among the people. since iceland recovered from the bank crash, could nstruction projects restarted. the country's banks remain weak and government controls mean a limit on how much icelanders can even take out of cash millions. no context, the idea their prime minister has been helping his wife to hide tennessee of millions of dollars so far away is for many people absolutely

infuriating. so wintress has become part of the language in misquoted shakespeare, and this reads "not my prime minister." soon he may not be. >> panama's government says it will cooperate with any investigations following the panama paper's leak but threatening to take action against any move to put it on a gray list of uncooperative tax haven i see. adam raney has the latest from panama city. >> that threat from france was a step too far for panama. it responded immediately. >> in the case of france or any other country that includes panama on a gray list, the national government will have to analyze the situation and take a series of measures which could include reciprocal measures in a country that includes us on a gray list. what that threat means, though, is unclear. regardless of what pan steps

panama takes, the attention to the financial sector is unwanted. carlos gonzalez says domestic politics only left panama with one choice. >> they had to respond because there was political pressure, grassroots political pressure to defend national interests. >> since sunday's publication of the so-called panama papers, the government has been on a mission to tell reporters how much it has reformed the financial system making it stronger and more transparent. it's a sector that has spurred growth and brought in billions of dollars. it's also long been known to attract criminals laundering money and rich investors two months ago the country was removed from a global list of money laundering countries only to now face the threat of being put back on such a list. >> translator: it's a shame the

news story comes out at the moment we want to show the world that they are comply with banking normal mvps. they talk about us like we are specialists in money laundering. >> many leaders around the world don't buy the manmanian government claims it cleaned up its act. they are pushing for more draftic steps. panama city. >> in the united states, president barack obama says tax avoidance is a global problem and one his administration is working to stamp out. patty colhane has this report. >> american people aren't talking a great deal about the panama papers in part because no americans have been named yet. president barack obama made a surprise trip into the press briefing room hoping to use the news of the panama papers to highlight another change that his administration has made that went pretty much unnoticed on monday. it had to do with the way corporations behave and what they do with their money. they have not the same things as the panama papers. really, the only thick they have in common is that they might

steam along. in theory, they are mostly for the for the /* for the most part legal? >> i wanted to make sure that we highlighted the importance of the treasury's action and why it did what it did. this directly goes at what's called corporation inversions they are not new. simply put, it's when big corporations acquire small companies and then change their address to another country on paper in order to get out of paying their fair share of taxes here at home. even the president admitted he can try to make it harder for companies to make those steps but he can't permanently close the loophole. only the u.s. congress can do that. they seem unlikely to do that given it is an election year. there is one company, pfizer, a huge pharmaceutical company who was hoping to move its headquarters over to ireland for lower tax rate. these new rules make it seem like that merger now will not go through. >> still ahead on al jazeera:

refugees protest as greece and their. >> drastic measures to tackle an environmental emergency.
