>> good evening, everyone, welcome to aljazeera. i'm john in new york, and here are the top stories. >> legitimate access to the navy yard. >> the u.s. government takes a closer look at how to check federal workers and naval bases after the navy yard shooting. they were just doing their jobs on monday when shots were fired. we're learning more about the victims. and the dc shooting is sparking a new debate over gun control in america.

>> it is clear tonight that the u.s. military's background check did not work when it came to the shooter at the navy yard in washington. and president obama said that the mass shooting proves that the country needs better mental health screening for gun buyers. he was briefed today by the attorney general. he wanted security for all federal agencies and conducting on the security program. more from washington. >> reporter: today, after the killing and chaos, a solemn tribute. defense secretary, chuck hagel, laying a wreath. 1 dead, including the shooter, all civilians, 14 wounded. >> to conduct an investigation about the activities and contacts of mr. alexis. >> reporter: a navy

contractor, alexis used a valid pass to entered navy yard. he entered building 197 and opened fire. >> we have officers who heroically went into a building, witnessing multiple casualties, and continued to pursue and engage a gunman who was determined to kill as many people as possible. >> reporter: officials say alexis was in washington for a little more than three weeks. most of it in this residence, blocks from the shoot being. he used a semiautomatic ar-15 rifle, but he may have gained access to a handgun during the melee, possibly belonging it to a followen officer. majority leader, harry reed, offered little hope for those pushing for gun control. >> we have to push it up as quickly as we can. we don't have the votes. >> after postponing last night's

game in the wake of a tragedy, the wash nationals took the field in silent tribute. instead of a w, perhaps an n for navy. aljazeera, washington. >> earlier, i talked with retired lieutenant colonel, tony schaffer, and he's working intelligence for 20 years, and he talked about the security of gun-free zones in military bases across the u.s. >> let's be clear here. people like me should being will and able to carry weapons if we so choose. i can carry a weapon wherever i feel i need to. it's not real estate stricted. and -- it's not restricted and what it has done, it has created zones for people like me, that there's no weapons on anybody of any consequence. so what happens is, people who are crazy or criminals, who do

not follow the law, go into these environments, and what you saw. we have 12 people dead. a military person with arms could have a stopped it rapidly. they have gone to far to make gun-free zones. and people think that they have weapons, and they don't. but this is what happened at fort hood, and unless they change the policy, it will happen again. >> and we're learning about the 12 people killed monday. >> many victims of monday's attacks, spent years, and sometimes decades serving their country. michael arnold was a 29 navy veteran, his mother said that he was a wonderful husband, son and veteran. >> it's not possible that they shot him, for no reasonable. he loved his country, he loved the navy. >> martin was a navy officer who

loved hockey and the boston bruins. richard worked in security at the navy yard. and richard from india worked as a navy engineer. >> this is an extremely difficult thing to process. i know for my song, it's going to take me years to really come to terms with it. >> reporter: arthur daniels, a father of nine, was shot in the back as he tried to escape. the father of two worked as a form an, and cathy was a financial analyst. she was also killed, so were 58-year-old gerald reid of virginia, 50-year-old frank color and sylvia fraser, who workedda at the seas command. john was a civilian who worked at the navy yard. >> we remember dad for being the incredible man that he was. >> but our hearts go out to the folks, and we'll go back to work

when the base is open again, and do what we do. >> in honor of these victims, flags will high at half at the white house until friday. >> now to the gunman, aaron alexis, he bought the gun legally. and he went to the virginia shooting range to practice two days before the shooting. we know that he was being treated for a serious mental illness. we talked to his friends in fort worth, texas. >> reporter: we spoke with a former fort worth roommate of alexis. she showed me this photo that shows him with a wide smile at thanksgiving. but before he moved out, he had been upset, complaining that the naval contractor that he was working for was not paying him on time. >> frustrations, if you're not

being paid on time, you're frustrated but i don't know what it was about. i still can't imagine that he did this, and that he's gone and he took 12 people with him. >> reporter: friends say that alexis struggled. he was behind on his bills and worked at a restaurant and lived rent-free with the people who owned it. but no issues that sedimental illness. >> he was with us for the last year, and i never saw any red flags. he was very peaceful, very friendly and ready to help. >> reporter: one day after the rampage, friends are still stunned as the reality starts to sink in. >> it hit me earlier today, i kind of lost it, because he was like a brother to me. i don't understand why he would go it. me is my brother. >> he says that he misses his friend. he wonders what he might have

been able to do had he known. >> after the latest mass shooting, new calls for gun control. and now advocates have tried before and failed, but now looking at the likelihood of change in federal gun laws. >> reporter: they're back once again on capitol hill. concerned mothers and advocates of gun violence. >> if events like what happened yesterday continue to happen and nothing changes, i have no words, enough is enough. we will see change. it must happen. >> families from new town, connecticut, boarded buses. >> unfortunately until something happens, there will be other communities. >> for the president, another shooting, another statement of support, it has become a predictable pattern in his

presidency. 13 killed at the fort hood army base. 12 dead, 70 wounded in a colorado movie theater. six worshipers killed in a wisconsin temple. and 20 children, 6 adults gunned down in their classroom in connecticut. >> the majority of those who died today were children. beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. >> the emotion of new town translated to action, and pushed congress to adopt new legislation, background checks for gun purchasers, and a limit on bullets that a clip can hold. that failed. and no sign that the president is going to push again for gun control. >> i've taken steps that are within my role and the next step is for the congress to move. >> reporter: the leader of the senate said on tuesday that he

doesn't have the votes to pass gun control. but he is still hopeful. >> it's going to come down to what the american people the, and how many people speak out and voice their opinions. >> reporter: polls show the vast majority of americans support some gun control measures. it has not been enough to get anything passed, and it's unlikely any politicians are going to change that any time soon. >> joiningition you from washington d.c., 15-year-old carlos. he lost his sister nine months ago at the sandy hook elementary school shooting. soto was trying to protect her students, and carlos, it's good to have you here tonight. >> good to be here. >> tell me about your reaction when you heard about the shooting at the navy yard. >> i was stunned.

i was sitting in the middle of lunch when i got the text message from my mom, saying there was a shooting in dc. and the fact that it was in dc, and i was going down there the next day, it kind of freaked me out. but i was still coming down here because i need to keep on this cause. >> at 16 years old, you're going down to talk to members of congress, and what are you going to tell them? >> i'm just going to tell them about my sister, and she wasn't just another name or another number. she was a human being that, you know, won't be able to open another christmas present christmas morning. he won't be able to go back in her classroom and teach her first graders. >> i know that your group and many of you have been to congress before to get changes

in gun laws. have you been frustrated by congress' lack of action? >> partly, but i know it's going to be a very long road. but we're in it for the long haul. and we have proven that, you know, we will come back every three months, and you know, we're not going away because this topic is not going away. >> how is your family doing? how are you doing nine months out from your sister's death? >> you know, we have our good days and we have our bad days. but for me, i still don't feel like its real. i still wait for my sister to come walking in the door. i can't believe that it's already september. i started any junior year of high school without my big sister. >> what was it like in new town after this navy yard shooting? >> it was chaos, because we knew

that we were coming down the next day, and no one in our group questioned that we weren't going to come down. everyone knew that this was just more motivation to come down. because this is in your backyard, and this proves it can happen anywhere. it can happen at a school in a mall, and now, at a naval yard. >> obviously, you're a very impressive speaker. what sort of message do you want tosembled tyou wantto send to ts families? >> i just want to say, you're not alone. and that's one thing that i didn't realize until probably six months after, you know. you have a whole nation behind you. everyone supports you. it's never -- you're never alone.

you have so many people there for you, and you know, some are just a phonecall away, some are just a car ride away. all you need to do is ask for help. and we'll be there. >> carlos soto, speaking tonight from washington d.c. it's great to talk to you, and thanks very much for being with us. well, the rain has finally stopped in north central colorado. and increased rescue efforts, but water has blocked many roads and bridges. office of emergency management said there are still 500 people unaccounted for. 12,000 evacuees are in shelters, and others are waiting to be rescued. tamara banks spent the day traveling with one rescue team. >> reporter: it has been almost a week since massive flooding hill colorado. in a hard-hit canyon above boulder, specialized teams from fema are looking for people who

need help. their primary mission, find victims and get them out safely. this 15-person swift water rescue team deployed to boulder from nebraska, part of the military assets to help in colorado. >> identification check >> reporter: they go from damaged house to damaged house, fighting the cold. and swift currents. >> 6 inches of water at this rate can knock you off your feet. trees down, and four lines down, stuff that's not supposed to be moving is moving. >> reporter: this part of the canyon, just below the burn scars of wildfires that raged last summer. this week's storm bringing rain that cascaded into this neighborhood. homeowners were evacuated last week. residents who were lucky enough to see their homes survive see

giant piles of rocks wash into their front yards. [ inaudible ] >> reporter: here at left hand canyon today, we saw dozens of homes either damaged or completely destroyed. and to give you a sense of scope. this is one of the little streams and canyons between boulder and fort collins, in the ground and in the air. they will continue to sweep around boulder for the next several days. they want to make sure that every house and every person is accounted for. >> no one is identified in the house. >> reporter: no one wants to be in a situation to require rescue, but when you're a resident in need, these fem specialists are the people that you want to see. aljazeera, boulder, colorado. >> obviously difficult for some flood survivors and others. this is the second time they have been through this kind of thing. the big thompson flood hit the

same area 37 years ago. and jim is in loveland, colorado with more. >> reporter: inside of the kansasion collectibles flea market, they're trying to move mud that's piled up everywhere. these people are working around-the-clock, trying to salvage what they can around the shop. kay has put her heart and soul into the place for the last 26 years. >> it's gone. the mud came in, and we had 4-foot of water and 3-foot of mood. things like this are going on all over the swollen banks in colorado, here in this store and in other neighborhoods too. homeowners like cathy williams are moving out, forced to find a new place to live. >> the house is completely trashed. when we showed up, there was six inches of mud in the house, and all of the floors are buckling.

>> reporter: this disaster is raising serious questions about colorado's growth and where people over the last decades have decided to live. the big thompson flood hit this spot in 1976, leaving 140 people dead. but homeowners were able to return. and this covers a wider area, spreading from the foothills to the eastern plains. from the nasa notes, you can see how the area looked before the flood and then after the flood. >> many of these bridges and culverts and roadways were built a long time ago. the understanding of our flood events was not the same, and i think we have a strong opportunity here to, with fema's partnership, come out of this whole situation a stronger infrastructure. >> reporter: the fema director agrees. they need to build back wiser.

>> to rebuild other communities, that's what we do. >> but most people we talked to said they will come back. >> we love it here, it's gorgeous, we have elk, deer, mother nature is right here. >> reporter: others who have lost so much are having second thoughts. >> i don't think it's justifiable to live in the food plain or in the fire internace. >> reporter: exactly what that means for homeowners like cathi, that remains an open question. loveland, colorado. >> i'm meteorologist, dave warren, and we're looking at river flooding in colorado. that area of flooding will slowly move to the east. this picture is by the river, and really, it looks like this is before the flooding, look how it swelled in the last few days.

all of the rain that came down from the mountains working its way from the streams and creeks into the larger rivers, and we're talking about river flooding. it's down on the south flat river, and this is where the record line is. this is major flooding, well above the record stage. it has peaked and this is the forecast, and it will not drop blow flood stage before thursday or friday. this is colorado and this is nebraska. the area of water is slowly moving east. so this in nebraska will peak above flood stage by tuesday or wednesday, and there it goes above flood stage by wednesday is and thursday, and tomorrow, thursday and friday, we're expecting flooding in nebraska, all of this because of the storm which is slowly moving east. and we'll look at that in the national forecast coming up. >> helping america's military families. still ahead on aljazeera, the

assistance that those families receive from the federal government could be slashed by congress. and plus, his appeal for a new trial. the reason that jerry sandusky's lawyers say that he deserves a second chance.

>> jerry sandusky's appeal for a new trial is in the hands of three judges. his lawyer appeared before the supreme court panel in pennsylvania, and said that the former assistant coach was rushed to trial last year. the attorney general's office disagreed. sandusky is spending 30 years in

prison for the sexual abuse of ten boys. >> the day after the game with the braves, the washington nationals were back on the field where emotions were running high in their home stadium with the members of the navy. they met with the mayors and thanked them for their effort following the tragedy yesterday in dc. meanwhile, new york met's pitcher, harvey, is going to roll the dice, and rather than having reinstructive surgery, he hopes that it's a move that will keep him on the mound next season. and if super bowl tickets aren't pricey enough, they're going to get even higher this year when it takes center stage. the tickets are estimated to be 2600, and street value, well, the sky is the limit. that's sports at this hour. and back to you.

>> time for business news. main street and wall street are waiting for thes you in. analysts are warning any tapering of the program could mean higher mortgage rates. onto the price of gasoline. according to the aaa, gas prices are averaging $3 a gallon for 1,000 consecutive days. it has never happened before. aaa warns that gas below $3 a gallon might be a thing of the past. this week, the house of representatives voted on a bill that would cut food stamp stops, and today cut 4 million people on the program. how it could cut members of the military. >> it's two hours before the doors open at the neighbors in

need food bank in mount vernon, washington, and jeff fuller is here. the 71-year-old army veteran rise on the food bank to supplement the $116 in food stamps that he receives each month. even with that, he and his wife are barely getting by. and additional cuts could be crippling. >> it will just mean that we don't eat as much. cut down from two meals a day, to one meal one day and two the next. >> he says almost half of the people who come to this food bank are veterans, many of them like fuller are disabled and barely able to make ends meet. >> they keep cutting and what is going to be left? >> but it's more than just veterans. >> 5,000 military members are on food stamps, and they have lower pay grades with larger families. in 2011, $88 million in food

stamps were spent on military bases. in 2012, that number jumped to 99 million. this year, food stamps on bases is on track to receive $100 million. >> you would like to think that people who are serving our country would be able to at least survive without having to worry about putting food on the table. >> reporter: justin keith helps families sign up for government stens. he fears that addition at cuts to the food stamp program will put a strain on the system already struggling to help those in need. >> a lot of folks are already just getting the minimum benefit. which is $16 in washington state. and to cut that even further means that a lot of these folks are going to start relying even more on things like food banks.

>> the food bank is what he and his family will continue to rely on. >> what choice do i have? you have to go with the know. >> a flow that congress will ultimately decide. aljazeera, mount vernon, washington. >> they have been considered some of the safest places on earth. coming up, the security holes found in a u.s. navy audit. and the changes that some are demanding. and one california school's controversial move to protect its students. where it crosses the lib. new privacy concerns and students who use social media.

>> he complained that he was hearing voices. and military officials said that he had serious mental problems. why he was granted guy gun despite his mental problems. president obama today wanted

to review a process for government employees. reporting on the u.s. global view of security. >> reporter: it's easy to assume that a u.s. military installation would be one of the safest places to be. but off monday 2, 12 men and women were shot and killed at the navy yard. alexis was no enemy that stormed the gate. >> we can confirm that he had legit access to the navy yard and he used a valid pass to gain entry to the navy yard. >> reporter: now members of congress are asking whether entry at military installations has been too lax. they can walk or drive onto most installations without ever being

stopped by the police. and visitors are screened and their cars are inspected. >> i think that the military needs to inspect all, whether you're a civilian or retiree like me. everybody needs to have random car inspections. >> the navy has ordered a security review at the installation. his boss, defense secretary, said that he wants that to cover the entire military around the world. and the pentagon watchdog released a draft audit, a screening of contract workers, saying that they had attempted to reduce costs in screening workers, and that meant 52 convicted criminals received routine unauthorized access. access that the agency called unacceptable. before the release, the admiral who oversees security welcomed the chance to do better. >> we made sure that the bases

are secure and continue to do that, and we'll look into all of these details and maybe lessons learned. >> he didn't have a criminal record and that raises a new question. what will the military do to guarantee that it's a safe haven for everyone. >> onto syria. the u.s. council has started negotiations on the resolution to syria, and the question is how to make sure that that country gets rid of its chemical weapons. but there are differences over how to make that happen. >> television news makes for good best sellers because of headlines. tonight, the headline is there's no headline at the u.n. the diplomatic security council has been hard at work, trying to bring all 15 members around the table regarding syria.

time is running out for the u.n. security council to draw up up -- the security councilmembers have been holding behind closed door meetings on tuesday. the russians, with the veto, appear to be backing off from the optimism of geneva, in part because the u.s., britain and france are insisting on using forceful language on any resolution. secretary general moon urged fortitude on both sides. >> they are based on scientific facts. therefore, we must not take -- i sincerely hope that russia and the united states demonstrate their leadership at this time. >> we talked to people on on the ground.

>> reporter: high up on the society building, little doubt who committed the attack. they did the math. >> if you connect the dots from the report, because of the trajectory of the rocket, they identified carried the sarin gas, they nicely converge to the base. >> going on meeting in private this week, trying to get all sides on the same page on a vote before next week's annual jam borey of world leaders. the u.n. general assembly gets underway. later today, the chance of a security council coming up with a resolution is bound to be a tall order. and meanwhile, john kerry and

his counterpart, and the syrian foreign minister, and the president of the group who wants to overthrow his government means that the issue of syria's chemical weapons is likely to overwhelm the assembly. >> senator john mccain has been a critic of president obama's military strikes to syria in favor of diplomacy. and he's no fan of the agreement which calls for syria to give up it's chemical weapons. >> to bring the conflict in syria to the negotiated end. we will not stop assad from fighting and stop iran from sending in the militia guard and we will not stop hezbollah's troops from invading and it will not stop russia from continuing to send weapons to the assad

regime. >> in china, inform talks are taking place over north korea's nuclear weapons program. japan and the united states are in beijing, talking about a program to swap aid or disarmament. talks have been on hold since 2008. scott heidler is in beijing, and there's a 5 second delay, but scott, tell us why china is so eager to get back to the table and talk about north korea's nuclear program. >> well, john, there's very good reason for that, because china has the most to lose, outside of north korea, if there's any kind of conflict on the peninsula. that's because there will be a flood of refugees coming here, and because china has been north korea's strongest ally for so long. it's a very important issue, and

we need to note that china has become a little bit concerned over the last several months with north korea's behavior. they had that very large nuclear test back in march, and that prompted stronger united nations sanctions, and that kicked it up again, and what we're seeing is an effort by north korea and china to kind of restart the talks again. what's going on today, and in the building behind me, that's where the began. trying to get it back to the table. but north korea, going into the meeting today, said they don't want any preconditions for the talks to start. and that's something that will not sit well with the united nations. they need to see progress, and denukization before they will come back to the table. >> so is there any progress, either in north korea or other countries?

>> there is progress because of the highest level when it comes to negotiating the nuclear program in north korea. but you have the other countries sitting down to try to get the talks started again. so at least that's some progress, but when it comes to tangible progress, what has been promised and reneged in the last meetings of the six-party talks, but there will be something hammered out when they decide when to come back and start the talks again. >> scott heidler in beijing, and thank you very much. there's a new debate this one california community on whether or not to monitor it students online. the outside firm will watch what students are doing and saying on social media sites. the gift officials say they want to protect kids, but others say

it's an invasion. >> from tweets to sell feeds, students in california have been under the watchful eye of the administrators for the past year. the district is monitoring the 14,000 students social media accounts, for suicide risk and social bullying. the firm is being paid $40,000 to oversee posts on twitter and blog and instagram. >> we monitor everything that the students and the parents were told. the students weren't told about the monitoring, and the parents weren't told either. >> i'm for it if they think that somebody is being bullied. >> it's a great idea. kids today think nephritis and nobody can look at their stuff. >> we need to protect our students, but we don't want to

violate basic civil liberties. >> the aclu is concerned, seeking more information from the school district. >> so things like the contract and listening and fox on how the data is being ford and how it's being utilized. >> the company argues that they're only using data that's already public to target specific students. they wouldn't go on camera with us, but it was reported that the district started the program after student su sides in the area as a way to reach out to students who need help. cyberbullying is nine times more likely. last week, a 12-year-old girl in florida killed herself after being bullied by classmates. >> we see time and time again, the students have taken their lives and their friends come forward after the fact and a, this has been going on for

years, and we want to put an end to that. >> geo listening is adding more tracking tools. next month, it's launching a mobile app where parents and students and administrators can anonymously give concerns. >> it's important that we balance the rights of students and a safe and secure school environment. >> reporter: glendale school officials say that they will continue to watch students, one tweet, post or piccata time. >> now, the district has responded to the aclu's request. and here it talk to us is katie grier, she travels around the country speaking to parents and children about internet safety. and she's also a former internet

safety coordinator for the state of massachusetts attorney general's office. good to talk to you. >> hi, john, thanks for having me. >> what are your thoughts about this program in glendale? >> so my thoughts are a little bit, i'm overwhelmed. i think its part of the puzzle that is an important piece to all of this. i think they have the best intentions, and i want to make a comment about the privacy of violations. live, all of this stuff is public. the least of your concerns should be that a small -- is checking out your stuff. for me, it's not a big concern. if we can help kids, i'm all for it. i'm more about the education about things as opposed to just being a police and what goes along with it. i think it's good, but i think

that glendale has bitten off a big piece of the puzzle and i'm interested it see how it goods. it's going to be very very hard to monitor, gray lines, and parents that complain. it's certainly a very big undertaking. >> you know, i talked to police officers in some districts that are actually online with facebook pages or social media, and they don't necessarily reveal their real identity. but they are trying to make sure -- they're actually trying to prevent kids from being the victim of predators, but state, they're following what's going on on social media and is there anything different about that? >> i think there's a line, and looking at this stuff, there are so many gray areas when we talk about this stuff. when do i intervene? when don't i? as a police officer, something that this monitoring company can

intervene with. when do i draw the line? you see kids 15 years old talking about sexual things, and do we intervene then? was it in the school policy? i commend what they're trying to do, but my head is spinning with all of the what ifs and if a parent said, you didn't catch this one. it's a big thing that they are trying to tackle and i'm curious to a see how it all goes down. >> harassment can be a problem in person, but what happens when it's online and sexual harassment? >> right, and that's the thing, john. when do we step in, and report it? and they're getting in trouble for not reporting things. i'm very very overwhelmed for them, the task that they have taken o new apps come up every day, and which one do we go to

next? what if you miss the next big site that comes along, my head is spinning. >> let me show you some of the graphics. 30% of america's teenagers have reported bully experiences, 13% reported being a bully and 11% reported being a victim of a bully. if you're a parent, that's frightening stuff, and i would suggest that it's higher. >> big time. anecdotally, i speak to thousands of kids across the country, and how about cyberbullying, how many of you have witnessed it? and i can't think of anness? for someone has not raised their hand. i'm talking about girls and boys. i've had the chance it talk to them one-on-one, guys and girls, and they all say the same thing, this is happening all over the place, girls and boys, girls and boys together. and there's not a lot of differences from girls and boys,

from what i'm finding and what the kids are telling me, and i think it's a really really big problem. >> it is a big problem, and i think we need to spend more time talking about it next time. katie, thank you for joining us tonight. well, another step forward in commercial aviation. coming up, a new airline from boeing, based on the 787, it had some problems, and we'll look at the improvements and changes after this. and one day after the navy yard shooting. major league baseball returns to washington today.

>> in mexico, floodwaters continue to rise.

a they day downpour cut off roads in the resort town of acapulco, cutting off supplies from residents and tourists. flooding began last week when two tropical storms converged on mexico. the storms have killed at least 50 people. dave mercer is in acapulco where 30,000 people have been trapped for three days. >> it may look like a perfect destination, but here in mexico, people are desperate to get out. 40,000 people have been trapped here for the last three days, while major storms have brought heavy rainfall and caused flooding and landslides around here. now supplies are getting short and went people are trying to get back. we're here at the military air base, and they're taking people out by the hundreds. they have plans to get out one plane every hour, and they're using the planes to get supplies

in, and people out and people are desperate and they want to get out of here. >> jess is here with sports, and people are saying thank you today in washington. >> certainly, it's a rough time in the last days. while baseball is a game, it can be a nice escape for those in washington d.c. today's nationals and braves game was a sign of moving forward after the tragic shooting death, just blocks away from the park. members of the navy were on hand to further thank them in wake of the tragedy, and for players, it was time to gain perspective on an emotional day they never could have imagined. and also a moment of science in the first inning of the game between the two teams. no doubt, an emotional day all around.

as we have said, here is the game. and as you could imagine, no shortage of inspiration in the game as the washington nationals come back to beat the braves. bic come from behind predict vi. they standard in the 9th to win. and meanwhile, we'll hear from the brave's team as they get their win in front of the home crowd. we don't have the sound, but we're going to flip over to football. peak speaking of emotional nights, what's going to be in store for andy reid when he faces the coach for four seasons as he travels to philadelphia. it's also the team that he was inspired by, but they're going to be retiring donovan's number 5 jersey. he was the quarterback, famously benched and then everyone sent pack being. yep, welcome back, andy.
