Today the United States praised afghanistan for a successful president ial election. The white house called the vote an important milestone and commended the Afghan People. 7 million voters showed up, making turn out nearly 60 , almost double the last election. Violence didnt erupt as expected, scatter attacks killed 20. We have more on the first true attempt at democracy the queues started forming well before kabuls polling stations opened. Despite the taliban threats to tart the election, people wanted to vote. In afghanistans 5,000 year history this election marked the first democratic transfer of power. People here have been eager to seize the chance. We dont care about the taliban. For me, i dont have a threat from taliban or im not afraid of them. 12 million were eligible to vote. In parts of the country where the taliban held sway, polling stations were closed. This is where people queue up, dipping their finger in indelible ink. They pick up a ballot paper, go into the privacy of the booth, cast their vote and ballots in the boxes here. The blue one is for the president ial election and the clean for the provincial. The provincial election gets six pages like this. There are 400 candidates in kabul, each voting has to choose one of those candidates. Its not a quick process. President hamid karzai was one of the first to vote. This election bring to an end his 12 years of rule since the taliban was forced out of power in 2001. Translation i cast my vote as a citizen of this country, im glad and proud that i voted. Im ascertain voting will take afghanistan towards stability and better lives for the people. Kabul was locked down, it mobilized 400,000 security personal. It helped to bring the number of attacks below the daily average. Ballot counting started as polls closed. There are allegations of fraud made that will test the independence of the election commission. Im not confident that the complaint would be handled fairly. We dont know how the Elections Commission and the Complaints Commission will act during the the past experiences that we had with the two commissions have not been desirable. This time around it remains to be seen whether they will act in favour of one of the cant da. S the commission is not expect to announce preliminary results for four to five days. This was never expected to be a poll free of fraud, but how much there is will determine whether afghans accept the final decision on the winner. Eight men are running to be the next president. The front runner is ashraf ghani ahmadzai, the finance minister, he holds a ph. D. From Columbia University and worked for the world bank. Then theres Zalmai Rassoul, the top pick of hamid karzai. His running mate for Vice President is a woman. Hes unmarried which is unusual for a politician in afghanistan. Abdullah abdullah ran for president back in 2009. He finished a distant second, a former eye doctor. He has served as afghanistans foreign minister. Theres a lot of focus an Zalmai Rassoul, the one most like hamid karzai. We look at what his victory could mean. Even those hoping to run the country cant run the roads. This is a spot which is a 2 hour drive from the capital, a journey too dangerous for him. Previously foreign minister Zalmai Rassoul is seen as Hamid Karzais chosen successor. That support, however, could come with a legacy of corruption linked to this government. The hamid karzai government will be very wellknown for a long time for horrendous levels of corruption. You were part of that government. What will you do differently . I think i first of all i have not been involved in corruption issues. I repeat myself, that the fact that i have been involved, i know what is happening. I know which kind of thing we should do correct that. I want to put this experience that i got, achievement and lack of achievement in the service of the Afghan People. While Zalmai Rassoul was foreign minister, hamid karzai refused to sign a Bilateral Agreement with the u. S. , allowing foreign troops to remain in the country, throwing it into cries si. The fundamental of the relationship with afghanistan and the United States is solid. We have problems, problems happen with friend. I was involved in drafting it from the afghan side. I believe that the National Interests of afghanistan has been respected in that. It is in that interest of afghanistan, and the United States and i am hopeful that it will be signed soon. In jalalabad city speeches are herd by locals, including supports of warlords. Of the eight men running for president , Zalmai Rassoul is one of three to have a female vicepresident. Like political cam pawns the world over, image and protocol mould themselves to campaign locations. When in the capital, candidates want to present themselves as the forward of a modern afghan state. In reality, when they travel out of the provinces, 13 years sips the fall of the taliban, theres not a single woman in this crowd. He was educated in the finest schools and worked as a techknow grad. His legacies as a descendant of the royal family is seen as an asset in the eye of afghans. He will be seen as a vote for continuity. If afghans decide they want more of the same style of government, he stands a strong chance of leading it. U. S. Forces have been in afghanistan since october of 2001 when president bush launched Operation Enduring freedom after 9 11. It was aimed at dismantling the taliban and destroying al qaeda. Mr bush kept 30,000 troops in afghanistan. By 2010 president obama increased the number to 98,000. Two years ago he scaled back, and 38,000 american soldiers remain in that country. More than 2300 u. S. Servicemen and women died in the afghan war. Joining us to discuss the election is juan combe, our International Affairs contributor and a professor. Does it seem to you, this election, as successful as many are claiming tonight . Its a real success in the sense that you had a substantial turn out, bigger than the last president ial election, and the Afghanistan Army and Security Forces appear to have succeeded in preventing taliban attacks on any scale, so you have to consider that a success. Do you consider it a clean election that some have pulled out, or is there concern of fraud and corruption in 2009. A clean election is tough to pull off. Theres not proper sensises, lots of false inside floating around. How you monitor that is difficult. But i suppose that to some extent people will be looking for anomalies, outcomes that dont make any sense in judging that the election was fair. If you look at the candidates, then agreed to sign a longterm security deal with the United States to keep forces in afghanistan. Do you think they are going to live up to their word and sign the deal . Well, its a big mystery as to why outgoing President Hamid karzai refused to sign the bit lateral security agreement. He organised a lawyer jerga, a convention of afghan note ability who approved of it, he then declined to sign it and said he would leave it to a successor. If Zalmai Rassoul wins, who is close to hamid karzai, if hamid karzai is against this for principled reasons, he may try to pressure Zalmai Rassoul not to sign it. I think its up in the air. How much influence does hamid karzai have in politics . A lot of afghans believe hell try to remain influential, hes backing Zalmai Rassoul in the hopes of playing a putin role to medvedev. In russia the Prime Minister and president kind of switched for a while. So i think the evidence is that hamid karzai wants to continue to have a great deal of influence. You think he will continue, for lack of a better issue, pull the strings in afghanistan . Well, it depends on who wins. If its someone close to him, certainly i think hell make the attempt. Is he close to all the leading candidate at this point. All the leading candidates served with him. He is not close to abdullah abdullah, or to ashraf ghani ahmadzai. If Zalmai Rassoul gets in it would be a continuity of the hamid karzai administration. Lets talk about the taliban. The fact that they did not laux a largescale launch a largescale attack today, despite launching successful attacks in recent weeks what do you make of that . The afghan Security Forces were doing their job well. You know, the kind of thing they would do is try to preposition car bombs near polling stations. Well, if the security forcers are good, theyll make is sweep and make sure there isnt anything like that. The taliban were prevented from successful attacks. On the whole. There were some. Is this a sign that the afghan Security Forces are becoming increasingly more ready to take over security for the country . Yes, i think its certainly got to be taken as a sign. Today has to be taken as a sign that the Security Forces are getting better. I dont think they could have provided this kind of security by themselves in the last election. Juan cole, our International Affairs contributor, good to talk to you. Thank you. Thank you. Crews may have caught a break in the search for the missing malaysian airliner. Australia confirmed that electronic signals heard by a chinese ship are consistent with the frequencely of an aircrafts bla black box the the ping was detected about a thousand miles off the australian coast. Three members of the crew heard the ping but did not have time to record it, its unclear if its from the missing plane. Black boxes have a life of 30 days, but what is in it remains intact if the battery dies. Listening equipment is dropped under water. The ocean and search area is six to 13,000 feet teen. The ship pulls the device for signals. They can be picked up only about a mile away meaning the ship would have to be close to hear that sound. As the search enters the fifth week malaysia promised not to give up. Its been almost a month since mh370 went missing. The search operation has been difficult, challenging and complex. But in spied of all this, our determination remains undiminished. We will continue to search with the same level of vigour and intensity. We owe this to the families and shows on board and to the wider world. We will continue to focus all our efforts on finding the aircraft. Malaysias defence minister denied allegations authorities were involved in the planes disappearance. We asked todd curtis, what those pings mean and if this is a positive sign. They have an eyewitness or earwitness report, tuned to the fre consequency of the frequency of the pinger, and heard it for about 90 seconds, theres no recording and no way to verify it was from that frequency and other characteristics that could prove it was from the system. Its not necessarily a bad thing. We are assuming the impact of the aircraft was at some point in the ocean. After four weeks, debris is several hundred miles away, its unconfirmed. The fact it thats not in the same or as the search gives me positive hope that perhaps this is something that can be confirmed to be from the aircraft. Protesters marched in 40 cities cross the country, about a dozen were arrested in san Jose California, demanding change for immigration policy. Patty culhane with the details. [ chants ] a show, loud march through washington d. C. Karen sent her 11yearold daughter, part of the small crowd that marched to the white house. They are here, in many ways, for her. She could be the 2 millionth person deported since obama took office. Translation in 2011 immigration came looking for someone else but found me. For her daughter that means fear. She cant find the words to express. Because i dont want to. They found their voice to protest deportation policies in atlanta, in san Jose California a few arrests. A few hundred in los angeles, all hoping to send a message that the immigration system has to change. Most dont believe u. S. Congress will get around to passing immigration reform, so they are focussing on president obama, wanting him to change the deportation policies when officials dont believe the president has that power. We are fighting here to stop deportations. They dont believe that or the president when he says his priority is departing criminals deporting criminals. Of the people deported in 2013, 152,000 were noncriminal removals. For the vast majority of those, the only law they broke was entering the country illegally. President obama ordered a review of deportation policies. Its not clear when it will be complete. It seems that it will be long after this woman has her day in court. Memorial services are held this weekend for victims of the shooting rampage in fort hood, texas. An argument with other soldiers most likely lead to the attack. Heidi zhoucastro has been following the investigation. What else can you tell us about the argument . That is the key here that investigators are looking at. According to the father of one of the soldiers that ivan lopez wounded, he said his son saw ivan lopez enter a Personnel Office on wednesday, requesting a form to ask for a leave. He was told no by the officers there. And at that point ivan lopez retrieved his gun, returned fire on soldiers inside, killing three and wounding 16. We are learning more about who this map was, his history in puerto rico, where he grew up. According to his friends on the island in november of last year, ivan lopezs mother died of a heart attack, and he had been upset because the army gave him a 48 hour leave to attend his funeral and he was upset when he was unable to attend the funeral of his grandfather. Who also passed away. The question of leave appeared to have been a touchy subject for ivan lopez, and that is why investigators are looking at it. This brings back painful memories from five years ago. How is the community there dealing with a second tragedy. Well, i think its deja vu for them. And they cannot believe in less than five years this is happening again. In 2009 it was when major nidal hasan killed 13 on post, wounding 32. It was in august of last year that this community was able to find closure when a jury of Army Officials sentenced nidal hasan to death. As they were starting to understand and accept that, this happens on wednesday, and everyone here is scratching their head, wondering why and how it can be prevented in the future. The big question, why and how. Thank you. Heidi zhoucastro live at fort hood tonight. Rwandas genocide, up to a Million People killed in the spap of span of 100 days. 20 years later how has the country moved on and what has the country learnt from the mass anger. We take a deeper look, next. [ male announcer ] its here Xfinity Watchathon week, your chance to watch full seasons of tvs hottest shows for free with xfinity on demand. Theres romance, face slaps, whatever that is, pirates, helicopters, piratecopters. Argh hmm. Its so huge, its being broadcast on mars. Heroes. Bad guys. Asteroids. Available only on mars. Theres watching. Then theres watchathoning. Now for a saturday segment a daper look deeper look, its been 20 years since hundreds died in rwanda, now the flame of hope is arriving at the school where thousands of tutsis were killed. Over the decades rwanda transformed itself. Its people have been divided before the genocide, beginning after belgium colonized rwanda in 1916. It introduced identity cards, classifying people according to their ethnicity, when the minority tutsis became on elight over the hutus. It caused ventment. In 1959 more than 20,000 tutsis were killed. Hutus took control after independence in 1962. Ethnic fighting continued until a Peace Agreement was signed in 1993. The agreement was broken the next year, in 1994, after a plane carrying the president of rwanda was shot down, its unknown who was behind the assassination. Fighters began to kill tutsis and moderates. 18,000 were mass angered in 100 days. Many tutsis took refuge in a school, guarded by belgium soldiers who abandoned it. Leaving number at the mercy of hutu soldiers. That school is now a memoriam. Im at the Technical School here, a place that has come to symbol ice the failure of International Community to come to rwandas help at the hour of its greatest need. That was when the genocide was going on. The school was a peace keepers brief, and unpeacekeepers withdrew from here and left thousands of people worse off, at the mercy of the killing mobs. Many died. Now, the killings knapped in broad daylight happened in broad daylight and officials visited to arrange places of slaughter. This is the genocide memorial, a place for the nameless dead. 50,000 people skied in the school at the height of the rwandan genocide in which eth nining hutus killed tutsis. The government encouraged them to come here, so theyd be safe from the militias. It was a trap. Now they are only the remains of the dead to remind the living of what happened. This site represents a crisis of humanity. Its easy to say well, it happened in a small african country, it has nothing to do with me. It is a representation of the failure of the world. Here there are bodies of victims. This man is one of only a few people who survived the massacre. His friends and eight brothers and sisters were murdered. Today he works as a site curator. Im proud to serve because i feel the responsibility, im concerned. I feel the voice of mine dad, mum and other brothers and sisters. In the 20 years since the genocide, rwanda made strides in trying to avoid repeating the past. In the fields where mass murder was committed, farmers from different ethnic groups Work Together to feed the nation. And the government of present, continues to implement an ambitious plan to rebuild infrastructure. Rwanda laid a foundation for its future where none existed. For all children and enforcing a zero tolerance to corruption, to embracing information technology. This mission is facing the future with the knowledge that slipping backward is not an option. The tragic events of genocide in 1994 remains in our memories. They cant stop us from moving forward and building a brighter future. Thats a legacy we are having from the leadership lead by the present government. Rwandas progress is partly due to Financial Aid from western countries. At the Technology Hub people are hard at work developing software and computer applications. They say that through technology rwandans can pull themselves out of poverty, one of the things that caused the genocide in the first place. Most say theyll never forget the people who died in the rwandan genocide. How could they. Everyone in the country was affected and lost a Family Member or had somebody in prison for the crimes committed. In three months of relentless and brutal killings. Here are some facts on genocide. Its been committed throughout history but the word genocide was not coined until after world war ii. It was categorised as an international crime. They have since occurred in cambodia, northern iraq, bosnia and rwanda. We are told what the International Community can take away from the atrocity in rwanda. The lessons we take away is killing can occur rapidly. In is r 100 days roou wantan rwandan genocide killed close to a Million People, but what it took to end it force and will. These are lessons we need to keep alive, if not the rwandan genocide should be an arc logical piece that captained artificial status, and the living lessons apply to the real crisis of today. Lets bring in gerald cap lip, hes with us and the dollar of rwanda, the preventible genocide. Do you think humanity learnt its lesson from rwanda . I would be oddly surprised. There are many lessons. One is that it appears so long as there are us, therell be gen sides, going all the way back to the book of the old testament, to roman and greek history and some called our era the century of gen sides suggesting that we are going back as a species. You dont think we have moved forward, recognising some of the mistakes from the past. We recognise the mistake we have just made, then we make it again. After roou wanteda rwanda everyone pledged as they do, never again, and then came darfur a few years later and the members of the security council, especially the permanent five, your country, the United States, britain, france, soviet union russia and china, all found reasons why they shouldnt intervene, and now, again in the Central African republic, you know, just last week, or earlier this week, there was an entire International Conference on genocide prevention. At the same time as things are getting terribly worse in the Central African republic, and the general of the united nations, ban kimoon cannot get the nations of the world to give him the peacekeeping forces there. Are we learning everything, im not sure. Is that a true comparison, to comapart the 800 People Killed in roou wand a. It rwanda. It didnt start with 800,000. It started with nobody. The day before there was no one, except randam massacres of the tutsi. And the first day we think there was 10,000, and it took all the 100 day to get 800,000. In the meantime thousands and thousands are killed daily in the Central African republic. The political leaders turned religious communities that live together peaceably into enemies, the muslims started killing. The christians, the maoists, your audience know christians have the stronger hand. They are going around killing muslims and driving them out. If its not 800,000 today, how many days will it be, how many weeks will it be before we say oh, my god, this is going on. In roou wanna, some could pretend as president clinton did. The world didnt know, but president clinton did. Today everyone knows, there were reporters, mice in my town and toronto, toronto so far and the global mail had reporters and huge takeoutside in the papers. Everyone knew what was going on, but ban kimoon could not get the forces he want. How do you respond that its hard to react to the atrocities, and sometimes the political will is not there. Before roou wanna American Force rwanda American Forces were not there. Its not as easy to intervene and stop a genocide. Nothing is easy. I agree most. Let me point out that while the 18 american rangers were killed in mogadishu in october of 1993. The rangers killed about 1,000 somalians. Thats almost never said. As a result of the 18 rangers causing embarrassment for president clinton, and because republicans turned on clinton and said no mar intervention for us, to save his political bake job, he made sure in respect no reinforcements sent and as a result of political needs, 800,000 tutsi were killed. They could have stopped it but didnt. I know it takes political will, but we talk a big game and all these people, all the nations proclaim their fidelity to r 2 p. But when it comes it it they protect when their own national selfinterest is at stake. As you look forward you mention the Central African republic, and syria is a country thrown out as perhaps on this level as rwandan genocide. Do you think its too late. Do you think there are things that the United States and other western countries cap do to stop the killing there. To show you i agree with you, i dont see any solution to syria. The only party so far as we figure out that can stop the regime from the killing is russia. And they have no intention of doing that. Nothing is going to stop the mixed bag of oppositionist. Many is laxists, terror islamists, terrorists, no one can stop them. I regard syria with a broken heart. Not only is it impossible, but its impossible to stop. I know who could stop car, Central African republic, is any number of countries by sending in a small number of troops. That will not work in syria, i dont know what well do about it. Theres 150 killed. 2 million refugees, a figure that we in have. If you can say there that syria cannot be stopped. How could it have been stopped with inno vention. Each case is different. Rwanda with a small country, the genocide army was small. The general who headed the u. N. Force. They said themselves if they had 5500 good troops they could is stopped it, intimidated the killers who were not particularly well trained. As well, if the americans could have stopped hate radio, it would have taken away a great director of the genocide. It was different. Thats why my report called it the preventible genocide. Its the most easily preventible genocide in history, which is a reason its tragic. Tragic, horrific and painful. Gerald cap lain, author of the book. Thank you for your time. Sorry for ruining your evening. You didnt at all. Thank you for the information. Our coverage continues tomorrow, throughout the day. New protests in new mexico after violence when an officer shoots.

Time to turn to sport. Half of College Basketballs dame is set. Ross shimabuku is there with the final four. What are you seeing there in arllingon texas. One team punched their ticket to the championship on monday night. Florida was the Number One Team and gaiters riding a 30game win streak. Do i hear 31. Yukon says not. They were the last to beat them in september and they did it. Huskies off to a slow start, down by 12 to start the game, but the hindley street kiss rallied back. Deontry daniels led the way with 20 point and rebounds. Sabbath napier, and huskies back in the National Championship since 2011 when they won it all. In the second semifinals, you have the cats from kentucky against the wisconsin badgers. Hype and hoopla surrounds the team. Rightly so. They start five freshman in the time four. The last team to do that, the fab five in 1992. Chris weber. Joanne howard. Jimmy king and ray jackson changing the coach of College Basketball. In honour of the fab five, re whelmonize. There was a time when College Basketball starters were seniors, and giving their roles to fresh men was unheard of. A team from the 90s, changed the landscape coming from a sixth seed to take the tournament by storm. They remember the knocks. It was now when they are coming off the room after a dunk or a big steal or play, and how they celebrate we sacrificed a lot of technicals, and bad press, you know, to allow the college kid to enjoy themselves in the play in that style of play. Sports writer alan st. John remembers the impact the fab five has on College Basketball. Up to that point people were fixated on an idea of experience. Of letting seniors take the shots, Senior Leadership in all of that. The fact is that these guys came in and said hey, we can come in and leave. We impacted a culture, bald heads, black shots, shoes, just an overall look. What the team brought to the tournament in 92 and 93 was more than style an attitude. What made it special is we werent scared of the moment, we embraced the moment. Thats why we became bigger than the moment, because we fit into it. We excelled into it and did not let it overwhelm us. This time a unit from kentucky coming in as app eighth seed. They know how comparisons to their teams must feel. They want everyone to know they are better than the fab five. That its not a mistake or a fluke that they are here, this they are within of the best recruiting glasses ever. They want to show that. On the verge of glory, advice from those that have been there. Enjoy it, have fun. Its a game. Play the game like its been played all your life. You never know when you get back. I will record every moment when i wake up, go to bed, on my way to practice, when i come from practice and shoot around every moment. Thats what i do. Its truly a special moment. This Kentucky Team has a chance to do what michigans fab five cannot, win a championship. Making their third appearance in the final four. Head coach john has been taking a lot of heat for the one and done players, for players staying one year and jumping into the n. B. A. , instead of one and down. The coach likes the phrase succeed. You have a lot of tshirts saying succeed and proceed. Thats my expression, succeed and proceed. Thank you to Ross Shimabuku, live in texas. Well be back with weather after the short break. With the most popular ted talk ever sir ken robinson is a leading voice on encouraging creativity. He talks about it with David Shuster on talk to al jazeera. Kids up until they go to school have a voracious appetite for learning. Think about what children achieve from the moment they are born. Most kids in the first two or three years of life learn to speak. Well, thats an extraordinary thing. They go from being mute to articulate human being. Teach them to speak. No one teaches you to speak. You wouldnt have the time. They wouldnt have at patience of the the kid doesnt reach the point of 2. 5 where you sit the kid down and say you have to talk, or rather you do and your mother and i have been using these sounds, you probably wonder what that is about, and you talk about verbs and tenses. Its nonsense, kids absorb this stuff. They are curious. We then put them in school, and we shut down a lot of their routes of curiosity and we teach them. Its interesting to me that a lot of people by the time they get to seven or eight or nine or 10 are bored and get listless at the idea of going to school. Its not because they dont want to learn, but the way we teach them doesnt speak to them. You can see the full interview with sir Ken Ken Robinson an talk to al jazeera.
