and, for all of the fear that we have heard of iran increasing its influence it has helped push back isis. on behalf of the iraqi forces. what should we make of shia backed militias to retake ramadi. >> if we look at what has been going on, iranian backed shia militias have been serious fighting force on the ground. they heavily depended on them known as popular mobilization units. pmus. but the concern here is that they are not under one command. although iraqi officials would say the pmu's come under the command of the office of the prime minister. not necessarily on the, on the ground, is that the case. now this is not one group. these are different groups.

there is all way the concern how the troops are going to behave when they're being sent into the sunni heartland, anbar province. something that was really unthinkable in the past. now we are seeing it happen. of course, iraqi officials are stressing this is happening after the request of, of leaders from the province itself. and tribal leaders there, asking for the support. you have seen this sort of uneasy indirect cooperation in the past. you have -- u.s.-led coalition air strikes. iranian backed militias, pmus on the ground, sunni fighters too. we have seen that work in the past in tikrit. anbar, a different game. much more complicated there, errol. >> and you are in amman, jordan, now, you spend a lot of time covering events in baghdad. based on what you have seen, how much confidence do iraqis have in al-abadi's government, not

just how much is isis disliked by local populations. success lies on iraqi nationalism. >> you know, errol, we have said this from the minute prime minister al-abadi took office, september of last year. he has a tough task ahead of him. iraqis do seem to still rally around the government. of course, they're, there are concern. there are theories, conspiracy theories, a lot going on behind the scenes to try to undermine prime minister al abadi. iraqis support him, the most conciliatory figure they see at this point leading the country. but what he is trying to do is undo years of a very complicated situation there. the sectarian dynamics in the country. the political scene that is very complicated of course that always is reflected in the security situation. it is not an easy task for the

prime minister. but at this point in time he still does have the support of -- of the various groups and the -- the iraqis pretty much. >> and we'll see how his plan to retake ramadi plays out now in the days and weeks to come. live for us this morning in amman, jordan. thank you. >> japanese airbag maker, takata, nearly doubling its recall in the u.s. for about 34 million vehicle. making it the largest auto recall in history. >> yeah, the u.s. transpour takes secretary says takata admits many airbag inflaters are defective. tom foreman has more. >> reporter: exploding airbags, can fire bits of metal at passengers with so much force police say some victims look as if they had been shot or stabbed. u.s. transportation secretary, anthony fox said today the recall will save lives. >> airbag inflaters we suspected did not work correctly. and we believe that they have

suppliers so far. the recall process could be a long one. >> the big question how long will this take? nobody knows. no question could be some years. >> the manufacturer issued a statement saying it remains committed to consumer safety. but like the government, it does not yet know why the airbags are exploding. although takata devoted tremendous resources to the efforts with some of the leading researchers in the field worldwide, it is clear that this is a complex issue which takes time to fully evaluate. if you do not know itch your call is on the recall list. go to the government website. safercar.gov. safercar.gov. find out. if you are on the list. officials say you should get it fixed as soon as possible. tom foreman, cnn, washington. very good advice there. takata corporation shares plummeted after the expanded recall was announced. closing more than 10% lower.

defectors scum of the earth and worse. criminals fleeing the country. abandoning their families. laos authority captured north korean students two years ago trying to sneak into south korea. deport to pyongyang. there were dire predictions of prison. hard labor, even execution. but here they are today. appearing healthy, relaxed, wearing uniforms worn by every north korean student. three government officials also in the room. they didn't step in and didn't need to. the students said all of the right things. >> we are studying at the best schools and the universities. living happy lives. >> each student left korea separately living with a missionary in china. the missionary told cnn in 2013, the students fled north korea searching for food and in need of health care. they looked for fish bones and rice to mix together off to make porridge. then they eat toothpaste to help

them digest it. >> how many of you were hungry. >> at first they're reluctant to admit being a little hung rechlt the country suffered famine. it is believed millions of north koreans don't have enough to eat. the students say they were poor, not starving. curious about life on the outside. not desperate. they accused the missionary who housed and fed them two years of tricking them. a awe the missionary made us think if we went back we would be killed. we were forced to study god and read the bible. >> cnn contacted the missionary who asked about the students' well being saying he misses them. while hesitant to say much out of fear for their safety he insists the students needed his help after fleeing north korea. being back home. i am happy. i love my life. cnn did not see their actual living condition. each student insists live is

false. and that life is good for those who decide to return to north korea. will ripley, cnn, tokyo. >> well, meanwhile a terrapin farm felt the wrath of north korea's leader. according to state run media, kim jung-un, noted a number of short comings. >> he said the farm didn't pay enough attention to his late gnats before his death. the leader said the farm wasn't producing enough lobster for an upcoming celebration and blamed it on incompetent management. >> after an historic meeting with sinn fein any leader, prince charles is set to visit a site of great personal significance. a live record ahead on that. >> a cake, court ruling and major victory for activists in belfast. that's next.

because it was -- you know, leading republican, the leader of sinn fein, meeting a member of british royal family on irish soil which never happened before. today is where the personal element comes night for prince charles. because as you say, lord mountbatton was close to him. member of the royal family. but he was also prince charles' mentor. killed by the e.r.a. back in the 70s. from a bomb on a boat. prince charles has never been to where the incident happened. he is going there today. it will be very, very difficult day for him. but as i said, it plays into this peace process. >> reporter: it was a direct hit on the elite ranks of the british establishment. the i.r.a. blew up this boat in 1979. killing lord mountbatton, decorated soldier, but also a member of the british royal

traveling to tanzania, you have been spending time with those transported across lake tankanika, and the exodus from burundi will continue. tell what's you have seen there today? >> well, we are now en route to collect more refugees from this tiny strip of land called kakunga or lake tankanika across the border from burundi. over the last few weeks, over 100,000 people have fled burundi or rwanda, tanzania. but what makes the situation in kakunga so critical it is this very, very small strip of land. people have effectively been bottle-necked. so many people have crossed over. we are not quite sure why. possibly because other routes of burundi have been blocked. no way to get off the small

strip of land except by boat. that is why we have seen a humanitarian crisis there which really aid workers have described to me as their worst possible scenario. here's what we saw when we visited kakunga yesterday. >> sticks and a flimsy rope don't hold back the really determined. it's hard for aid work tires keep any kind of order with people this desperate. >> each day we have 600 to 900 persons traveling. and but it is a huge fight to go normally because people want to get out of here any way. tens of thousand of burundian refugees crammed on the banks of the tiny fishing village of kagunga. this lake and the old retired gun ship their way out to

refugee centers where they may have more space, food to eat, more chance of shelter. what makes the people go through this rather than stay in their home country in burundi, their presidential bid for a third term that sparked all this. the trauma of the recent civil war that sits so heavy in the burundi consciousness they are prepared to go through this to escape. >> she remembers the war well. >> translator: i saw then that any one could be targeted. this time around i didn't wait, she says. >> how long have they been here? >> unhcr says it could take 2 1/2 weeks to clear kagunga that's if no more refugees come in. >> this was like a nightmare. until now, it looks look we are going nowhere. >> reporter: but this workhorse has evacuated thousand. now a second ship brought in to help. the most vulnerable.

mothers with babies and the very ill are boarding. she has to wait her turn. but she is resolute. she laughs when i ask her what she would like to say to her president. >> translator: what will i tell him, he has been told a few times what to do. he still hasn't listened. one man's grasping ambition coming at a huge cost for so many of his countrymen. now aid workers have been trying to bring in supplies, food and better sanitary conditions, latrines, water, but because of the incredibly overcrowded cramped conditions on kakunga they had to transport the critically ill on the boat out to where i have come from, a make shift clinic set of in a stadium. there have been confirmed cholera deaths as a result of the incredibly unsanitary conditions on kakunga. very hard to stop the spread of

cholera when people are living so close to the sea and in such cramped conditions. i think also, errol, what's interesting to, to discuss is really -- the first of all these refugees are leaving preemptively the majority of them because of a fear of what will happen. and they fear that if -- if the president insists on this third term, the situation could degenerate. and also that most of them have actually been refugees in tanzania before -- really the vast majority of them except for the very small ones, fled here during the, the civil war which only ended a decade ago. so this -- this scenario is, is a, repeated nightmare for the people of burundi. and this decision by the president which you just reported to delay elections by a week certainly does not seem sufficient to calm the fears of his people. errol. >> yes, says so much diana about

burundians, a jen ratigeneratios orphans because of the civil war. many know to got a better life they have to paunck up. move on. they're doing that with things not looking good back home. live for us on lake tankinika. thank you. >> a move to solving the migrant crisis in northeast asia. they will offer temporary shelter, indonesia and malaysia, as long as the international community provide resettlement and repatriotiation within a year. the development reported by malaysia's state's agency after migrants were rescued off the coast of indonesia. they are the latesten a stream of desperate people fleeing persecution and poverty in the region. myanmar's ministry of foreign affairs says it is ready to help

discriminatory or racist as the palestinian futbol association are calling it and saying five teams from israeli futbol league are in illegal settlements which contrave contravenes, fifa rules. he is there to set a compromise and ward of a vote on may 29th at fifa congress in europe which could mean israel could be kicked out of world futbol if complaints from the palestinian futbol association are found to be valid. you mentioned he met with president netanyahu yesterday. we don't know much, but we know there was talk of this so-called peace match between the two sides. but that does seem unlikely because yesterday the palestinian football association reiterated their intention to press ahead with the vote. so a very difficult time for president, facing re-election next week. he thinks this is an important issue. speaking during the press conference yesterday he said he was on a mission for peace.
