make. the study raises a lot of questions. >> thank you. >> the show may be over, but the conversation continues on the website or consider this. you can find us on twitter at aj consider this. see you next time. >> good evening welcome to al jazeera. i'm john seigenthaler in new york. agonising search for the missing and deadly mud slide. and for the ruins for the dramatic rescue of a 4-year-old boy. >> do it. lethal force. days after officers kill, a homeless man, another police shooting end in doubt. together we talk about the command are of internal affairs.

after the came, sochi was the pride and joy, but the host city turns into a virtual coast town. wait until you see what it hooks like now. it's fright night. a short horror film goes viral and hollywood is calling. we talk to the director in our first person report. >> we begin with the ruins of oso washington. the number of people confirmed missing has dropped. authority say they are looking for 90 missing people. they are sifting through debris that's 40 feet wide and the ground is constantly shifting. it's gruelling work that is taking a heavy emotional toll.

allen schauffler reports from the scene since the disaster happened. he joins us with the latest. >> well, you are looking into the eyes of these firefighters and the search and rescue folks who have been at the seconds since saturday. you can see the toll in their eye, it's grim work in a grim place. >> another day, day five for search and rescue crews doing the dirtiest kind of work. 200 were at the side slight. federal workers, helped by volunteers, neighbours who clamored to be involved. it is humbling and we are grateful. the stress of the work showing. balanced by high points, like the release of video showing jacob spilers' being rescued. >> he was on the mud slide.

>> that keeps kevin rice going. he's been brought in from peninsula to help any way he can. jacob is one of four family members that have been found. you have to get out here and find them. i don't like knowing they are missing. >> rice promising to search the site. that independent initiative troubling the managers. they are trying to control access and minimise risk. while handling questions about how it happened and whether the community was ready. >> it haunts me, i don't feel we did everything we could to feel safe. >> difficult for those folks. when they face questions "why you do this?" "why didn't you though that would slide?" it's difficult. matthew and a friend came um

with a semi-truck packed with water and other goods. what is in there? >> tents, generator supplies, protein bars, feminine products, more toilet paper - a lot of toilet paper. i can't remember how many gallons of water. 4,000 gallons of water. >> and you are from rock hurch in munro. why are you doing this? >> the pastor networked together and i had a call from my friend jason, and i'm doing my thing, providing. they said we need a truck, we need you to do your thing. that's what god wants me to do. here i am. >> sounds like a lot of people around this event are here. a lot of people pitching in. >> yes, they are. i live in the country, worn and raced her. my family had a cab jun up the road and sold it. my mum did the bluegrass

festival stuff. here we are. 25 years, 30 years later. still helping. >> a lot of folks are sitting home, you decided to come on out. >> it will be a 35 hour day once i'm down. >> 35 hours. matthew, part of the amazing effort that we have seen in this community and the smaller towns around the community and the neighbouring countries. people pitching together. it's a horrible thing. we see a lot of people coming together, we talked a lot of people in derrington. small population in this area. if we do have 50, 90 - that's what the count is. it will be devastating for the area. >> allen schauffler reporting. joining us to discuss pat abbott, professor emeritus

geology. give us a sense about how you determine whether this area might be susceptible to another mud slide. >> it's susceptible to other ones. this is not the first, it's the biggest, but not the first. when you look at the face of the hill. there's a near-vertical lift. it's almost certain that the mass will fall off of that. materials, steep slopes, we haven't seen the last of it. the other critical factor is that there's a large river eating away at the base of the cliff. it's buffering material. are searchers trying to rescue anyone or recover a body, they could be in a danger if there's another slide.

>> yes, that's true. of course the further away you are, the less danger it is. i don't expect one of the same size to occur. the biggest danger is that nude, when you were describing it, there was a wave of it came out. wr talking about a shied. it's the flow part. the wave of water saturated mud. and that is still dangerous. you can't walk on it. you can sink in easily. you have to have a rope tied around your waste. we did this under controlled conditions in minnesota. and i waded out into the mud arse. i was totally helpless. you couldn't lift your legs up. you had to be pulled out. there are people there encased in the mud or inside a broken house, in an air space waiting to be pulled out. extremely difficult rescue conditions. >> you describe it as gooey mud. i suspect that bringing in heavy

equipment won't work at all. >> exactly the point. it would sink in. i'm reminded of snow shoes that people are familiar with. you wear a shoe spread out over an area to support you. you have to do things like that. people that walk across. it's not simply work. it's definitely a hazard for the people that are working on it. we are having more rain, it adds more water into the mass. when we get mud. a lot is old volcanic mass. rock grounded into fine pieces by glaisiers that moved over it. you get mud that when it gets a hold, and we talk about it being 15 photo thick, it's oozing and moving internally. and the mud flow doesn't

homogenise everything, there are pockets where you could sink out of site. and other areas with house debris wouldn't be too difficult. it's difficult to know what you encounter. as each day goes by, it will be less hope to found people. the mud is oozing in to fill open spaces. osoverwhelming. >> thank you for shedding light on this. >> and as you heard scientists know the area is prone to sleeds. predicting when they may happen is a big change. jacob ward joins us from a state of the art lab at caltech. >> the science of how wind, ice and water move the earth around is known as surface processors.

geologists study it to understand where we should and shouldn't build. i spoke with isaac larson, and specifically those in washington state. he told me that there has been a long understanding of how unstable the region can be. >> as the ice came out of canada, it blocked up a lot of the river. as it got closer, sand was deposited on top of that. the water can penetrate through the sand. it gets caught and perched on the clay layer. that causes the water pressure to increase, causing the slope to destabilize. there's a river at the base, cutting back into the sediments that steepen the slope and increase the propensity for failure. in the early reports from the 50s, there were propositions to

stablilize the slope and burns built to keep the river away. they were quickly washed out and flooded the next year. long-interpret stabilization for a slide of that size is a difficult proposition. >> this is a simulator at caltech's laboratory where they can study the movement of water over rock, move gravel through, and move thousands of litres a second and gives scientists a good understanding of the kinds of dynamics that lead to slides like we saw in washington state. the understanding of that is recent. the community ta was built this was at a time when people didn't understand how uneven the surface was. >> now to the other big story, it's been 18 days since flight mh370 disappeared from radar. the strongest lead yet.

search vessels off the coast of australia are chasing down 120 objects noting. it could be a debris field. 11 planeses and five ships are searching over more than 48,000 square miles. the battery powered black boxes could stop sending signals as early as next week. >> a federal jury in new york found osama bin laden's son-in-law guilty of three charges including conspiring to kill u.s. citizens. he searched as a spokesman for al qaeda, and voiced propaganda tapes. >> the setting is afghanistan. the day, september 12th, 2001. osama bin laden wanted to deliver a message to the world and asked this man, suleiman abu ghaith, to do most of the

talking for him. >> translation: america must know that what happened to it is a direct result of this policy, if america will implement the policy muslim sons will not stop under any circumstances. >> this and other video tape features preying the 9/11 attacks, and warning of more to come provided the backbone of the u.s. government's case. by agreeing to make them, he agreed to be part of a conspiracy to kill americans, and private support to a terrorist network, charges that have not been successful. >> in terms of having laws that apply to the cases. this is a case that is stronger, is shows. >> suleiman abu ghaith took the stand describing being summoned to the osama bin laden compound. he fotook credit for the attack

and asked the preacher to deliver his message. suleiman abu ghaith testified that he spoke on before of muslim, not al qaeda. he was not linked with a plot specifically to kill minister. >> lawyers argued that the evidence in this case amounted to lit more than words and association. that was enough to convict him on all the government charges. the trial wrapped up in under three weeks with little disruption to the neighbourhood. blocks from where the world trade center once stood. >> the defense will appeal the conviction. >> this was wrapped in secrecy, and an inability to give access to people. >> suleiman abu ghaith could face life in prison when sentenced in september. >> coming up tonight - under

fire. 23 fatal police shootings in albuquerque over the past four years. last night it happened again. we'll have the latest. fire rescue - incredible video from houston, and a construction worker saved from the flames.

>> in houston, a bystander caught in a rescue.

a construction worker trapped as flames engulfed the building. this is what happened as he tried to climb to safety? >> oh, my god. [ screams ] >> oh, no, my god. >> the worker and the firefighter were not hurt when the building collapsed. officials are investigating the cause. >> in boston, a tragic scene. a fire in an apartment building killed two boston firefighters. it began in the base of a brown stone in backbay neighbourhood. 18 were injured. 150 firefighters were called to fight the blaze. >> a growing number of people are turning to medical marijuana in the hopes of finding relief from a variety of illnesses. tonight we meet a family who decided to uproot their lives to help their 2 year-old daughter who is epileptic.

the bentons are moving to colorado, to see can be treated with charlotte's web, a 7-year-old girl, who saw her seizures become less frequent thanks to an oil form of the drug. i asked the bentons about their daughter's condition. >> she has chronic epilepsy. she can have 100, 200 seizures in a day. we have gone through many medications and haven't found one that worked. >> when you heard that medical marijuana may be a cure, what went through your head? >> we didn't believe it until we learned about charlotte's eg, and the success she had. we balled our eyes out and said "that's it." >> did you talk to other family, what did they say? >> it worked. we are friends with other

families. we watched them from day one, start to give charlotte's web oil to their children and have seen success from day one. they weren't talking, feeding themselves, they are doing all of that. they are conquering epilepsy. >> were there obstacles in ohio to getting this drug for your daughter? >> it is illegal. we can't offer the medication to our daughter living in ohio. we had doctors in colorado sign off on that treatment and essentially we've been on a waiting list since january of this year. >> this must be unbelievably frustrating for parents. >> it's tough to know that there's something out there that could save our child's life, and not just our child, children all around, suffering, not making it

through with this condition. we hope we can get it on ohio's ballot and not have to leave our hope, and hope that the governor would take out time to talk to us and understand and get to know why we need this for our children. >> what rehabilitation have you gotten from lawmakers and o. >> not good. we are not getting the time of day for them to speak to us. they are spending us letters saying that they are sorry about the situation that our daughter is in and wished her a full recory. it's not as easy as that. we feel blown off in ohio. >> why do you think that is, is it the stigma of marijuana. do they not want to touch this? >> i believe so. the number one question is how do you get a 2-year-old to smoke

pop. obviously they not smoking pot, it's in an oil that goes under the tongue. and the thc level is low. it can be considered hemp. >> you made a decision to move your life to colorado. >> well, the decision was easy. our daughter failed six or seven medications already. we are starting to run out of options. the drugs that are left, pharmaceutical drugs that are left, they have dangerous side effects. it was very easy to make a decision to move, for her. >> we wish you luck in your fight to get the treatment for your child and hope to speak to you again. >> thank you so much. >> well, a new report shows new york state has the most segregated public school system in the nation. according to the civil rights

project. black and latino students are attending schools with virtually no classmates, no white classmates. charter schools are among the least diverse. 73% have less than 1% enrolments by white students. housing patterns are to gain. and policies could be fixed through policies promoting diversity. >> to college sport and a possible change for football. >> it could be a landmark decision. the college athletes players' association led by cain colter won a decision by the national labour relations board qualifying football players as employees. opening the way to unionize. attorneys for the players that argued college football is a commercial enterprise relying on the players' labour to general

millions. the players time commitment and the fact that scholarships are tied to performance as reasons for granting them union site and went on to say: >> earlier i spoke to forbs sports law contributor and asked how the ruling changes the status of football place at north western. >> it's a stepping stone for the players. this is the first decision that they need to get through in a hurdle to unionize the north western university representatives inside have until april the 9th to file essentially an appeal with the nlrb office in washington dc. this is the first move for the players to possibly be paid. seek better health coverage and more opportunity. >> what will it cost north-western, and will there be

an impact felt in public schools. >> the impact is further down the road, because the nlrb does not govern unionization. they are state-regulated. you have to go state by state by state. as for what it will cost, it's hard to put an exact dollar amount on it. the implications of unionizing are huge. they might be forced to doll out cash. >> what is driving the effort to unionize by players in north western, but potentially others across the country? >> this is being driven by money. there was a supreme court case that said individual schools hold the right to individual forecast of games. college sports have become a multi-million, hundred million, and billion dollar business. student athletes are looking at

the great scholarship benefits but realise "hey, someone is making a lot of money, but it's not me." >> the only reason the particulars could do this is the n.c.a. restricts them from getting outside jobs. they argued should be be employees. >> and raised a question about health care when you talk about football players. this is a problem that the n.f.l. will have to deal with. cain colter had to pay out of pocket for an m.r.i., he was reimbursed, but he said that was ridiculous. >> bank of america agreed to pay $9.3 million to fanny mae and freddy mack to settle claims of bad mortgages. federal regulators accused the banks of selling fanny and

freddie faulty mortages. many included or defaulted leading regulators to seize control of fanny and freddie during the crisis >> people shopping for health insurance is getting a little more time to finish up. the white house is extending the time. jonathan betz has more on that. >> the big monday dad line is ed back a few weeks to mid april. the white house hoped 7 million would sign up for insurance. after the problems, it lowered the expectations, and is likely to see 6 million people. numbers have been growing. more than 5 million people have enrolled, which is encouraging for supporters, but a million short of a goal they'd like to have. for every 10 that sign up. the white house would like them to be young and healthy. so far obamacare has only

attracted every two healthy. the white house wants to give people more time if they've had trouble signing up. >> coming up, deadly use of force. albuquerque police take another life and the tales of that shooting are coming up. i'll talk live to a pushing police official who called for changes in that

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler in new york. a lot to get to this half hour.

deadly confrontation. under fire already. albuquerque police shoot and kill another person. photos from sochi. little more than a month after closing ceremony of the sochi games, it's a ghost town. and scared out of your wits. first to richelle carey with the headlines. (technical difficulties) >> 22 objects in the southern indian ocean on sunday. it could be a debris field from the plane. the plane disappeared 18 days ago now. a federal agency has gip football players at north western the right to unionize. the landmark ruling is meaning players are considered employees under federal law. north western university argued

the athletes are student and shouldn't be put in the same category as workers. >> a dramatic rescue caught on tape after a mud slide in a small town in washington state. the crew pulled a four-year-old.from the mud hours after the disaster. five days later authorities are searching for 90 people still missing. the death toll is at 16. authorities have found eight more bodies. >> thank you. more on that story now. allen schauffler standing by in washington state with the latest. >> we saw some of the big pieces of heavy equipment that are being used to search for people or remains, but it seems to me that this mud is causing big problems. bsh bsh bsh

(technical difficulties) ... responded to that today. >> i think we need to take a step back, guy, and look at the magnitude of what happened. the debris field is huge. it is complex, it is dangerous. and i don't think we have a lot of answers.

all i can definitively say is we have a number that is 90 and we'll pursue it as much as we can. >> that figure, frankly, john, 90, is a little chilling. we were dealing with a higher number before, and were told a lot of those will be duplicates. we haven't been sure how many are missing. now we are coming around to say "yes, 90 missing." that's a bit of a shock. >> it strikes me given all the mud that this could be a very long-term process because until things dry out, a lot of these - this big equipment can't get in to help. is that the way they are looking at it now, or not. >> well i think we have to look at it that way. we have to understand, and people in this area understand that there may be some of these folks who are never found much this was a mountain side that came down.

the piles of debris are 50 feet deep in places. you have heard john pennington talk about how complicated the scene is. finding everything who is there is going to be a long-term process, a process that never ends. it's a tough little town and area. i was speaking to the governor at a community meeting. he's been on scene for a little bit today and was remarking how tough the people are. they are tough and have rallied together. you look in their eyes and ask how they are doing, and every once in a while someone will say "it's tough, it's a struggles", and people are aware they could have more grim news coming out in the next days or weeks. >> now to a story we have been covering closely, the police shootings in new mexico. yesterday in albuquerque, and another lethal confrontation.

in this cell phone video an officer opens fire, killing him. it's the 24th fatal police shooting in the city in less than five years. heidi zhou-castro is live in pushing with more. tell us what happened last night? >> sure. it was sad and irrionic that the shooting happened, hours after a crowd of 2,000 people gathered here in front of the albuquerque police hours. that was the death of a homelessman james boyd, whose killing was captured op camera and sparked outrage, two weeks later we have another death at the hands of albuquerque police. . >> this 911 call from a teenage girl bought albuquerque police to alfred's apartment. at the scene a neighbour said he

had threatened her daughter. >> he said back off. i have something for you. [ inaudible ] >> police say the 30-year-old as an probation for an ag ra vated vault with a deadly weapon. he came out with a gun. and this is the video of what police said happened next. this is the same moment captured on a cell phone camera. we warn you, it's graphic. >> albuquerque police chief gordon eden would not release the police video showing redwine on camera, saying he fired first, the gun was recovered at the scene. >> when the suspect exited the apartment. the armed suspect discharged his

firearm. >> it's not clear when or where that happened. witnesses told al jazeera a different version of events, that redwine was unarmed and never threatened offices. this couple say they saw the shooting from 50 feet away. he came out of the door like this. okay. this is obviously - dropped it down to his side, yelled for his sister, and she's yelling back and they open up on him. >> witnesses say in is where alfred redwine stoot. the ground still shows where he fell much tammy had been on the phone with her brother, trying to talk her down. >> i heard the shots and saw the tests and he fell back. i saw the shirt turning red. i knew they used lethal, live rounds. and the lieutenant promised that he wouldn't, that he'd use non-looethal round, and he lied.

>> chief edden says that assertion is under investigation. it happened hours after 2,000 demonstrators converged. they were protesting the earlier fatal shooting of a homeless and mentally ill man. both happened during eden's first month as chief. >> reporter: do you think you're doing a good job? >> i think the mn and women do their most job every day. i'm doing my best it evaluate the department, including myself. >> now another death - redwine the 24th person to be killed in an albuquerque-related shooting in less than five years. >> today new mexico's attorney-generally gary king announced that his office launched an investigation into the last two shootings. the department of justice had

his eye on the department, we do expect those results in the coming woks or months. just today representatives from the department of justice were hear to hear this community's enude concerns. >> thank you. now, albuquerque police department was already under federal investigation before the deadly shootings last night and earlier in the month. albuquerque police had been involved in the fatal shootings of 24 people since 2010. the number of police shootings in albuquerque are four teems the average in other major cities in the united states. some of those press shootings are costing the city a small fortune in lawsuits. the city paying $8 million to the family of iraq war veteran kevin ellis the iii. shot and killed whilst holding a gun to his head. a lawsuit is pending over christopher torres, shot three

times in the back at close range behind his parents home. misconduct has custody albuquerque taxpayers more than $24 million. justice department involvement could lead to federal civil rights charges and sweeping changes to the albuquerque police depp. but the investigation is expected to last several more months. steve tait is a retiremed albuquerque lieutenant he was a commander in internal affairs and joined us. welcome. >> let me ask you - what is your reaction to the latest shootings? of course it's troubling. any time you have a deadly force that is used from an officer or police department's perspective in the community. i share the concern of everybody in the community. does albuquerque have a problem. what are the numbers saying?

>> based on my background, i feel like the sheer number might cause a red flag to be raised and have people inchoir as to why have there -- inchoir as to why there has been a big number of incidents. even if there's a small number, what is the quality of investigation. each requires that the investigation leaves no stone unturned. >> what don't we know about what is going on at albuquerque police department, from your experience? >> there's a lot of upanswered questions that start several years back when it comes back to who we are letting in to the police department. that's a concern, and we had that while we were employed there. >> what is the problem? . >> i would like to know that along with other people. i have the feeling that during my time i saw what i considered a lowering standard.

lowering standard of what we required officers to have to get in the department. and my concern is that got worse once i left in 2006, and that may be something that needs to be explored very objectively. >> what is moral like in the police department? >> the people i'm in contact with, and have been over the years say moral is at a low. that is talking to patrol officers, detectives. high command level people. there's nobody to tell me. in fact, 50 to 100 people i have talked to say it's terrible. >> does this come from the top? >> mean, who needs to fix the problem - the police chief, the mayor, the council? >> i mean, it needs to be fixed. my suggestion is getting the politics out of it, because that is leading to the issues that are there. i see no initiative by the

administration, to look into what is at the root cause of the issues. there's hiring issues, whether that's training, culture, leadership is a big issue. i don't think there are people there modelling the leadership that the me or women deserve. >> steve, thank you for sharing your thought with us. we appreciate it. >> we have one programming note. in a few weeks al jazeera america will debut a new original series "borderland", attracting six diverse americans retracing the footsubstance of three migrants that died crossing into the united states. >> the fastest growing segment of this homeless population is female military veterans, women especially who served in comwatt roles. in our serious "homeless in

america", we talk to two women that went from the battlefield to the streets. >> you wouldn't expect someone living in a car to sipping a song of hope. erica thomas did not give up hope, even when this car was all she had. >> this is the back of the burlington coke factory. this is where i slept. >> a bleak homecoming for a veteran spending four years on the uss "ronald reagan." i was building bombs, there was tugging, pulling. no room for tears. >> the tears came later when the recession caused erica to move in with her mum. when the house flooded her car was her home. erica belongs to the fastest

growing homeless population, veterans. >> there were 1400, but the numbers are growing. nearly half were victims of military sexual trauma. >> so the assault occurred when i was 25. >> in 1990 or-linda was an the military fast-track until sexually assaulted. severe ptsd stepped in when the army blamed her, she's 100% disabled. >> president. the congress, everyone made it clear. >> the va says it's addressing the unique problems leading female vets to homelessness. >> female vets present with more depression, anxiety disorder and trauma, ptsd. they combine to form a perfect storm that puts the women at

risk. >> the veteran administration is playing catch up. . >> no more sleeping in the car. erica will graduate with an acting degree. i feel like nothing can stop me, like i'm trained, working through life. thousands of women like erica working through. it will be a challenge. >> now to president obama's trip to europe. he held a strategy meeting with e.u. and n.a.t.o. leaders, met with n.a.t.o. secretary-general

, the two pledge help to ukraine. >> russia faces further sanctions if the situation in crimea intensifies. >> we want the russians to live in dignity like everyone else, proud of their history. that does not mean they can run rough shod over their neighbours. >> president obama is in rome and has a meeting with the pope. mike viqueira has more the shared message. >> they have not missed a day in 32 years. feeding, teaching, sheltering, helping the poor get up op their feet. >> i'm not hungry any more. hopefully i'll get a job and start working. >> the catholic church has a

lopping history. it's the loophole, who after an era of paedophilia has brought the church back to the core mission, through actions and words, critical of the gap between the haves, and have notes. during president obama's time in office, the gap between rich and poor in america grew. it's the widest since 1928. it's an issue the president turned into a theme. >> increasing quality and decreasing mobility pose a threat to the american dream, our way of life and what we stand for. >> though they stand a message polls suggest that americans see them differently. the pope is popular. seven in 10 american catholics say he represent a change for the better. the other, the president, is not. his approval ratings are near a low. the cardinal led the catholics

for five years and welcomes the focus, but worries that politics might muddy the message. >> it can confuse the issue, it can be interpreted i think when we go back, i kapt hear what you are teaching because what you are doing makes too noise. we have to put our money where our mouth it. the church has to do that. >> at baltimore's our daily bread they've witnessed the francis effect. the energy around service is unbelievably more focussed. a greater increase and joy in coming together and making a difference in the lives of people. >> the plight of the poor, a shared message when president meets pope. >> while the president is in

europe, the former president is learning new things. this screen shot was tweeted by jason carter. his grandfather texted: >> former president carter was a guest on the colbert report. >> remember sochi, this is how the city looked last month during the olympics. thousands of visitors a day, billions spent on the games. the venues were enormous, and included four ski resorts. that was then, this is now. sochi looks like a ghost town as seen in the photographs. gone are the athletes, the spectators, the volunteers, the security and the staff, leaving behind empty buildings. and infrastructure that has

started to crumble. other olympic venues in bge happened in sarajevo suffered similar decc a. coming up, our picture of the day, and big scare - a short horror film goes viral, hollywood is calling.

>> the scariest two minutes of film. the clip has taken the internet by storm. currently he has no agent, publicist but hollywood is knocking on his door. he sat down talk about his short movie, lights out. >> my film is called the lights out and is about a woman who is home alone at night. when she turns off the light in

her apartment she sees this shape this her hallway, when she turns the light on, the shape is not there any more. i made the film with my wife, so basically all we have was our apartment. the inspiration for the film was the fact that we - probably everyone has turned off the lights in the apartment and seen shapes and shadows that looked like people. and what if one of those shadow was actually some kind of sinister creature or being. >> i was floored by the reaction that the short film received. it took off online, millions of people have seen it. we are getting tonnes of emails and calls. it was insane.

the goal was to make the film in under three minutes on the theme "who's there?" and upload it online. we won the best director award. >> to scare on audience in a horror film, sound is important, probably more important than visual. a dark room where you hear something growling is scare i don't remember than a rubber monster running around in full daylight. i have been getting a lot of calls from people in hollywood and showbiz in general who want to work with me, and people who want to represent me, managers and production companies, and it's been absolutely insane. >> for the future, i have a couple of ideas. but with the success of this short, i'm looking into the possibility of maybe making it

into a feature. we'll see what happens. >> all right. finally, one photo that caught our intention tonight, our freeze frame comes to us from massachusetts. we had crazy weather this winter. the spring storm slammed into the east coast bringing wind-driven waves that smashed the coastline. cape cod and the surrounding islands were effected. this is from massachusetts. the storm left about 10 inches of snow in its wake. >> headlines are next.

>> woum to al jazeera america. i'm richelle carey, here are the top stories. authorities in washington state are getting a clearer picture of the aftermath of saturday's mud slide. they are looking for 90 missing

people. 16 have been confirmed dead, and search teams, and found more bodies. they are waiting for news - there's news that some are taking comfort in the video showing the rescue of a 4-year-old hours after the mud slide hit. day 18, and the safe for flight 370, search crews off the coast of australia chasing down 122 objects in the southern indian ocean, spotted by satellite. it could be a debris field. so far nothing has been recovered. president obama is in rome. he has been meeting for the pope in the morning. he held strategy meetings with the e.u., and n.a.t.o. members. the two pledged to intensify cooperation with ukraine. and controversy in new mexico involving a shooting involving an officer. officers say the man had a gun, and fired at them.

the man's family said he was unharmed. he was the 24th to be killed in less than five years. those are the headlines. "america tonight" with joie chen is next. you can get the latest from our website aljazeera.com. >> on "america tonight", the weight, as rescuers power through the mud that buried a community alive leaving behind only pieces of life. >> with each passing hour more on the devastation that levelled oso washington, and how much was lost. >> also, what happened to alicia ,
