An egypt court handed sentences of 128 people accused of being supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and referring defendants to the highest judicial, highest religous authority and it began after Mohamed Morsi in july and we have a lawyer for ten of the defendants who received the sentences. Translator a trial was slow and eronious and for trials to be valid as a procedure, all defendants must appear before the court. Other errors were the failure to record the appearance of defendants, denial of the right of pleading and disregarding the defendants right to proper defense whereby defense lawyers were not about to exhibit defense or raise their demands. No exhibitors were on scene or witnesses heard. In short, there was no trial at all. Lawyers move to refuse the court and the judge ordered security to escort defense lawyers by force and they were angry and decided to hand down the judgment in two days time. Three journalists held for 86 days will go on trial shouldly and he is taken to hospital for a shoulder injury and he is detained with greste and mohamed and accused of having links with a Terror Organization and spreading false news and our arabic channel man has been in custody more than six movlts now and al jazeera rejects all charges against the staff and continues to demand their immediate relief. Lets go to ian lee outside the courthouse in cairo and with cnn and reporting on our behalf because julio jones journalists are ban from the trial. What is going on in the trial, ian . Reporter the trial has yet to get underway and was supposed to begin at 10 00 a. M. Local time but it has been delayed. This is typical as cases usually are delayed from the beginning and expecting the Third Session to be a continuation of the second session and more prosecution witnesses brought forward and we are told by one of the lawyers we will see the evidence brought forward as well. Much of the evidence of what we saw when local egypt ion tv broadcast station and news gathering equipment but its very unlikely we are told by the lawyers there will be anything conclusive today and the trial will be postponed to a future date but we are waiting for it to get underway and the last one was many hours and we are expecting this one to be similar. Reporter thanks from cnn. World leaders gathering in the headache to discuss ways of preventing a Nuclear Attack but its over shadowed by the crisis in ukraine and president president obama arrived in the netherlands after a flight from washington and Sergei Fedorov is also in the netherlands for the talks and moscow annexed crimea after a referendum which backed joining russia and russia troops are surrounding the last marine bases in crimea and russia is taking over military control of the peninsula base by base. In kiev thousands gathered for a rally calling for ukraine unity and its supported by much of the westin colluding the u. S. And europe. And there is growing fear other parts of ukraine will break away after russias annexation of crimea, two prorussian groups fought in ukraine and russian speaking east and happened during a rally in support of former president Viktor Yanukovich and they are worried about the allies of ukraine and there are fears the break away region might want to join the Russian Federation too because they are mostly ethnic russian and the Top Commander in europe is warning about the build up of troops on ukraines eastern border. If russia is worried about a country moving towards the west, a way to solve that is an eric ncoursian and frozen conflict and not thinking about bringing it to nato because it might mean conflict with russia. Reporter we are live at the hague in the netherlands where the summit is getting underway, simon, i imagine when it comes to the meeting with u. S. Officials and the russian counterparts its going to but crane which is going to be on the top of their talking points. Yes, i think the crisis in ukraine is threatening to hijack the Nuclear Security summit planned for the last two years, the third summit in sequence of four and the brain child of president obama and of course the world stocks have enriched Nuclear Materials, one of the threats to Global Security but given events in ukraine and the personalities here today we do expect a lot of the focus to be on the crisis in the crimea and secretary of state john kerry has come with president obama and president putin was invited but did not come but Sergei Fedorov is here and he and kerry are expected to have meetings at some point during the day. And then on the fridges of the summit, at about 6 30 local time president obama called a g 7 meeting, that is significant because the russians wont be invited and its in that forum that i think the president and other leaders of g 7 will decide whether or not to kick russia out of the g 8. Russia has the rotating presidency of the g 8 this year and preparing to host a summit in sochi in june and that is very much in doubt with some sources suggesting that they will be kicked out of the g 8 unless they get their act together as the west would see it on ukraine. If you are talking about the possibility of kicking russia out of g 8 how much appetite for cooperation will there be and what the summit is supposed to be dealing with, Nuclear Security . Reporter i think that is what people will look at. Up until now the cooperation between the russians and the u. S. , two World Leaders in terms of their Nuclear Stockpiles et cetera et cetera has been good. On the day last week when president obama announced sanctions of russian officials close to putin they were in San Francisco to look at american weapons as part of a treaty. Up until now we understand the cooperation on the issue of Nuclear Weapons is good. But as the crisis evolves, if it does, i think some experts here are wondering whether or not all the work that has been going on to diffuse Nuclear Tensions in europe and elsewhere sense the end of the cold war may unravel somewhat but the tough challenges that president obama mentioned in 2009, his baby, he will push through the agenda because as we see on the package that is coming up, challenges facing the world from the huge stocks of Nuclear Materials are very severe. This is president obamas big idea, back in 2009 he called the danger posed by the worlds huge stocks of Nuclear Materials the most immediate and extreme threat to Global Security and not all is well guarded and leading where the world is closer than ever to nuclear terrorism. The biggest problem i would say is the sheer about of material in the world. There is around 1400 tons over highly rich uranium and plutonium and can be used to make weapons. Reporter more needs to be done and 25 countries that hold stocks of weaponsgrade material. Worst Case Scenario is Nuclear Material falling in the wrong hands to make a nuclear bomb. It only takes this amount of material to make a bomb the same size as the one the americans dropping on hiroshima in world war ii but a concern is a small amount of material attached to explosives designed to spread radio activity through a busy city a so called dirty bomb. They hold material for research and medical needs and experts say that is not necessary and lower rich is just as good. Guarding stocks is a National Responsibility but in some parts of the World Security is not good enough. In terms of concerns people talk about the countries where in the past it was not of high standards. People mention south asia including pakistan and india. Reporter and high standards and regular inspections but not Everyone Wants to cooperate and its not clear if new tensions f ukraine will damage what has until now been good cooperation between cold war enemies and Nuclear Security after all is something everyone should be worried about. And reducing stocks, the headline probably from today as we understand an announcement expected in the next hour or two of the japanese who decided after pressure has been said to give up 300 kilos of highly enriched plutonium and uranium and hand it to the u. S. And they are meeting with the g 7 later on today and ukraine in terms of Nuclear Proliferation is a big success story. Last year they gave all of their Nuclear Materials back to the russians so that is all right. Tom wood there. Headlines and reports are surfacing of three cases of the high highly contagious and killed 59 people in new guinea and the first out break in the country, syria is accusing them of shooting down the jets and challenging the statements that the plane was violating turkish air space and china spotted what it called suspicious objects in the search for the malaysia airliner and its not clear but its the focus of the search. And more ahead including cracking down on drug smugglers, one of the worlds Busiest Airport brazil confiscates kilos of cocaine and do you wonder who is in charge of the internet . A meeting is taking place in singapore to discuss this and we will have all the details. Welcome back, lets recap the headlines on al jazeera, an egyptian course handed down death sentences to 528 protesters. We have learned according to lawyers. Many of them are members of the Muslim Brotherhood and accused of violence and attacking government property. Three al jazeera journalists trial will start in a couple hours and accused of having links to a terrorist organization and spreading false news and al jazeera rejects all charges against its staff. U. S. Staff barack obama arrived in the netherlands for a Nuclear Summit and Sergei Fedorov will attend and it will be over shadowed by the crisis in ukraine and texas a Massive Oil Spill blocked the movement of ships in one of the busyist waterways and carrying marine fuel and it collided with another vessel and cleanup is underway and home to several bird habitats. The cleanup efforts in texas takes place 25 years after the largest spill in history when the oil tanker exxon valdez ran ashore and we talk about the lasting effects of the spill. Reporter they did not have this 25 years ago a computer simulator to teach people about alaskas tricky coastal waters and its real and the desks appear to heave on the swell and there is no way to practice on an oil tanker. As real as it gets without being in danger. Although its hard to convince yourself sometimes you are not in danger, its totally real and virtually real. Reporter when exxon valdez hit the reef in 89 millions of crude went in the water, beaches were fouled and fish and wildlife coated in toxic tar and the cleanup went on for years and the coast looks clean and the scenery is splendid but problems with wildlife and bob left his salmon boat to skrug beaches then her fell ill probably from chemicals used in the cleanup and took a transplant to restore his help. I got what turned out to be a an auto immune disease and i had two, three other complications from that and it was like 16 years for me. She was born in april and came to us with her umbilicus still present. Reporter she is a sea otter expert and rescued hundreds from the spill and hundreds more perished and the animals now are only recovering in the wild. This is exxon valdez crude oil collected 25 years after the date. Reporter they are still finding oil on shore and rick worked on the disaster and now cleans up spills rounds the world and transporting petroleum is risky and only one way to lower the risk. More oil produced and burned in the world since the Exxon Valdez Oil than all of history to date so its stunning and we have to get better at using oil more efficiently and transitioning to a low carbon sustainable economy. Reporter until that happens those that live in this spectacular place cannot help worry about another spill and the wreck of the exxon valdez led to safer shipping but effects still lingering and demand of oil growing by the day, the disaster lives on in the minds of many, im in alaska. Reporter a land slate in the u. S. State of washington killed 8 people and devastated neighborhood of 30 homes along a state highway and several injured and 18 more are still missing. With the football world cup weeks away Brazil Police are cracking down on drug gangs and focusing of the National Airport and Gabriele Alexander has more.

Searching their luggage and people find what they are looking for tightly packed in the suitcase. Investigator takes samples of the powder and if the drops turn blue it confirms its cocaine. They then switch to the luggage of the second person. Inside this suspects suitcase were several of these womens purses and what the investigators did is cut open each one and inside were these white packets and this is pure cocaine. Four kilos, a small portion of 1. 6 tons of cocaine they got from passengers arrested last year trying to smuggling it out of the airport. On one flight from south palo, 24 people on the same plane were arrested for cocaine smuggling. Police say the drugs are primarily destined to africa or the gulf countries before heading to its final destination. Translator africa is aware house for the drugs to be stored until they can be trackiced to africa or asia but cocaine to the middle east does not leave the airport and passes in transit to consumer markets.

Reporter frances right party has made big gains in local elections and front leader says the Party Victory says this from paris. The france president was among early voter and one of more than 40 Million People registered to cast their ballot in local elections here. Choosing more than 30,000 mayors and councillors and a third of people who could vote didnt. The party of the former government led the polls nationally and some of the candidates winning outright in the first round. But it was the National Fronts night and the far right in france was celebrating after making significant gains. Leading the polls in some towns. The party which still campaigns first and foremost on an empty immigration stance have fielded more candidates than ever before. Translator at a National Level and sometimes in particular the disapproval of the government and against him along has been particularly strong. Essential significance of the big success for our movement is the National Front gathering is no longer a national force, its also from now on a great local force and a vote which has a calling to take route in all territories of the republic to prepare for tomorrows alternative. Reporter the Ruling Socialist Party in the first round was dealt a blow. Many of its supporters thought to have simply stayed away. This is an election being forced on both local and national issues. And the frustration from here deals with the government and appears to have been reflected in this first round of voting. This is only the first round. All the parties, particularly on the left, are urging supporters to get out and vote next weekend. Emma hayward with al jazeera in paris. Reporter now have you wondered who is in charge of the internet . The worlds regulatory body is meeting in singapore to discuss exactly that and gerald has more. No one really owns the internet but the u. S. Government suddenly controls a fair portion of how things run. Now in the face of this it said it would give up its regulatory role next year. I think there is no question that the concerns about u. S. Government surveillance have really blown open the conversation about governance about who is important and has controls over the pipes and functions and structures that run the backbone of the internet. Reporter so what is that structure . The internet began as a network linking computers and some american universities and government agencies. The project was funded by the pentagon and eventually the network was opened up to be the internet as we know it connecting computers and mobile phones and tablet and computer game consuls but there is the physical network that carries the data traffic and the internet backbone has satellites and cables and wireless routers all transmitting signals and how the signals communicate, and its a standardized language so to speak follows clearly defined rules and protocols and one such protocol is the naming of web addresses and suffix like. Com and. Net have assigned names and numbers and its a Nonprofit Group many of its decisions still require approval from the u. S. Department of commerce. That will soon undergo reforms. The idea is to change the stewardship from the u. S. Government to the global stakeholder process and i dont think that anybody will see a difference on how the internet is performing because the things that we are talking about are really at a very high level of the internet functionality. Reporter there is still no definite picture of what the internet future governing structure will be but they want to maintain privacy and Cyber Security for everyone. Medical research is being done by Super Computers these days. And we went to barcelona to find out more. Reporter installed in a former chapel this is spains most powerful computer and has almost 50,000 micro processes doing more than 1100 trillion things in a second and its so useful to researchers. We can use this computer to run through and simulate the target, scientists want to know and Super Computers for the advance of science and engineering, 30 Super Computers. Reporter they are expensive and needs updating every three years and spent 25 million on an upgrade and this is not the world east fastest super computer and there is one in china 20 times the speed and one of the fastest in europe and the creator one of the most beautiful. Super computers allow to pretest aircraft designs and try out different engines even before they exist in the real world and power has been put to use modeling the earths climate, calculations which frequently involve hundreds of millions of variables. The human body too has been a major focus with one project working on a simulation of the human heart. We are able to simulate how our electrical impulse is in the muscles. Then this information can be used for therapies like implantation of a pace maker or other therapies. Reporter they are analyzing the genetic sequences of tens of thousands of cancers, understanding what is going wrong inside a cancer cell they hope will lead to more personal diagnosis and treatment. Sequencing is cheap and they can do it with genomes and hundreds and thousands of patients but you need a big computer and complex protocols to analyze the genomes and this is where computational science and computing science is becoming a crucial part of the study of the diseases in general. Reporter the barcelona super computer is part of a European Network of similar machines that has already changed the way research and Product Development is done with each new and powerful upgrade has a potential for Super Computers to shape and create our future.
