the show, thanks. >> consider this may be over, but the conversation continues on our website, aljazeera.com/considerthis or on or facebook and google plus places or on twitter at @ajconsiderthis. we'll see you next time. squa sz >> good evening, everyone, welcome to al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler in new york. in harm's way. long before the deadly mud slide - dire warnings of a disaster. why were homes built anyway? >> separated by race, the stunning report on the state of the most segregated schools in the country - what it says about race class and education. >> access denied - turkey's war on twitter and youtube that has the government under fire, and

perhaps a turning point. >> plus, $45 million. no ordinary via owla. find out why this is the most expensive musical instrument in find out why this is the most expensive musical instrument in history. >> we begin with a photograph from oso. a first responder standing in the middle of mounds of debris from the mud slide on saturday. in the background we see tree, a frame from a house, and what appears to be mattresses. fragments of lives destroyed within seconds. the death toll stands at 16. scores are missing. for rescue crews it's becoming a recovery mission. the same time the question about why they are building homes on the hill, even as experts warn about the danger, again and

again. >> allen schauffler joins us live from the scene. >> john, we talked to a woman here within the hour, who was in a mobile home at the slide site and was blown a quarter of a mile by the wall of mud. she said she moved in two years ago, no one told her about landslide risk. now the governor is saying the state are re-assess the way people around the part of the pacific north-west assess the landslide risk. everyone here is going a juggle between safety, risk and quality of life. >> this is the river valley introduced to the world this week, a place of death and destruction, lives lost, bodies found and grim numbers. >> the numbers - 90 last night missing or unaccounted for. that's still the case. >> but that is the valley too. and this.

a place of extraordinary beauty. there is steep terrain and water everywhere you look in this region. the same retreating glaciers that gouged out the landscape left behind loose material. rain rarely stops, gravity never knows again so landslide risk is built into the landscape. >> ask steve bloom and his neighbours, they tell you the serenity of the place balances the rick. >> if the clouds weren't here, and you could see the mountains, it's worth it - the beauty, the paradise. >> the country approved ohms in this part of paradise wiped out by the side, despite studies showing the slope was unstable. the last big slide was eight years ago, damning the river and caused flooding. building continued even after that. >> it's a nice area. >> local volunteer firefighters

like gentlemen mclellan spent days dealing with body recovery, shrugging off suggestions that they shouldn't live where they do. >> i thought the hill would never slide again. they blocked the river then. it was like an earthquake, not happening again for 100 years. but it did. >> i don't think about the danger. there's danger everywhere, when you drive to work, when you drive home from work. >> still, emergency management consultant eric holder says some land could be considered too dangerous to build on. when you think about what could be done to prevent this, it's land use planning, individuals thinking about are they at risk. and what level of risk are they willing to take? >> so we can assume landslide risk and building are going to be major topics of public discussion in washington state

as we move forward. meanwhile, the work at the site, during daylight continues at a feverish pace. workers hoping for a miracle to come out of the mud from this slide. >> stand by for a second. the mud slide is about loss, and we want to take a moment to remember the victims who have died and have been identified. christina jeff erts was a if, grandmother and mother, and worked as a dental office manager. rescuers found her 4-month-old granddaughter with her during the slide. >> john rugleburgy, his brothers found his body, 32-year-old navy veteran and wife chris, survived by three sons and two daughters. summer raffo worked as a custodian at derrington high and part-time as a blacksmith, driving to a horseshoing appointment at the time of her

implied. linda mcpherson were in their home. he was saved, his wife of 46 years was gone. linda managed the derrington library for 40 years and had retired and enjoyed working in the garden. allen schauffler is back and has a friend of linda mcpherson's. >> we are here with marr vip -- marvin, a teacher at the school. you knew linda mcpherson, can you tell us about her? >> linda was on the school board for a few years, and pretty much a community service person after we started the library. while i worked for the school district she was helping me and became a personal friend. >> you lived here for 50 years, and are teaching your third generation of students. what is it like to see some of the people you know and caught

over the years disappear in something like this? >> they are all kind of family, and in this community everything is the barter system where you do something for someone and they do something for you. the exchange is an exchange of love. now i'm teaching the grandkids and the girl found in the car, for example, was my first drivered in home schooling. she was 15. they become personal to you, all the kids and stuff. six hours a day, for four years. >> the derrington school district extends. all the kids from the area dom school. >> it goes to the popular trees that go to where the road is entering into the drive. that's where they turn the buses around. >> steelhead drive we've heard a lot about. how are the kids going, and the

folks at school doing. >> the kids know who is going to make it. they are conscious of helping out. high school kids are making the lunches for the people on the mud. and the community goes together to help with the food and stuff. they are really helping each other out. they know what is going on. you go to the iga. it's an emotional deal. they are family. they are tar hills in the sense that during the war they stuck tar, so they call them tar hills. >> to stick them together. >> they wouldn't leave their people. there's that same attitude. after 50 years, you don't become a tar hill if you are a teacher here, but you get their attitude. >> we better wrap it up. the tar hill reference, by the way, john, refers back to history where people of north carolina settled the people and

have a strong sense of that history. thank you very much. we appreciate it and wish you and the town, the family all the best in what will be some difficult days. >> alan, marvin, thank you very much. >> deb montgomery is a professor of geomorphology joining us from university of seattle. welcome. >> good evening. >> is there a way to measure the risk? >> landslides are a natural process in the pacific north-west. our landscape has been shaped by them and will continue to be for the geolodge achal foreseeable future. identifying the places that are prone to those prone events is a geological challenge, and can be met through the mapping of the hazards. that particular site failed in the past.

the gentlemen who mentioned they can relieve the impression cannot relieve the pressure. it probably set up the slide that happened. people that make an informed decision. they need to under the hazard of what that is. that particular site was - there were other sites that failed in the past, that may fail in the future. how many of them are how old, what is the risk, what is the hazard. putting a number on that is difficult. trying to actually evaluate what that hazard is, in a quantitative sense is morive than evaluating the zones of hazard. understanding the geology, that's a first step for society

making decisions about how to manage the hazardous locations. much the way that wildfires are hazards. earth's surface is a dynamic and sometimes violent place. unless we understand the processes and how they work and get the information out to the people that need that information, then the system really is not working to fully inform people to make the decision. >> i have look the at the pictures. it strikes me that the north-west is a logging area. what is logging or clear-cutting - the impact on some. these areas? >> well, for slides like the one that happened, the relevant connection is whether or not the logging that happened upslope contributed to the groundwater levels within the slope. and trees suck water out of the slope. a good portion of the rain that falls is evapo translated, going

back up the tree. that water doesn't go down to the groundwater table. whether that had connection to this landslide is too early to tell. i am sure that is something - questions are asked in the north-west, and that will be looked into. the government is right, essentially. as for a review of landslide management and practices, this event is a wake-up call for having a look at that, if only to people can be assured so have the information, the decisions about whether to live. >> how long will it take for the equipment to be dried out. >> a lot depends on the weather. i'm not the right guy to ask. i hope that it's very soon. it was still raining earlier today. >> david montgomery, thank you very much. >> now to the new developments tonight in the hunt for malaysia airlines flight mh370. authorities are moving the

search area 680 miles north-east of the previous location, based on new credible information from an international investigation team. the new location is 1250 miles west of perth australia. officials are expected to tell us more in a news conference that it expected to get under way in 20 minutes. we'll monitor it and bring it to you if there's new information. >> there is technology on the way that improves the way planes like the malaysian airliner are tracked. it's the next generation air transportation system and switches air traffic control from the ground to outer space. science and technology expert jacob ward is the latest. as your plane takes off, it's entering a sprawling system. with only 0.2. the national air space is

inefficiently. it starts at the gate with our control are. he or she almost handed it off to a tower controller, and they'll be handed off to another controller to the departure and arrival area. and be handed off to another control are. and many other end route controllers. since no system coordinates all those people, the faa is working on one that will. >> the next one is the agency that commissioned n.a.s.a. to build tracking software for it. the system will replace the ground control with gps, a technology capable of tracking every plane. it relies on humans handing planes to one another making it possible to coordinate in vans. >> there's a lot of variability. these are limitations of the human mind.

they can't plan ahead. >> here in the united states, we still use strips of paper to denote the planes that we are in and the gates we are at. n.a.s.a. will replace it with a software base system and they'll issue recommendations but they have to integrate that with what the air traffic controller is doing, the en route and arrival process and you are looking at a complicated system to upgrade. >> two of the important costs to the airline is the fuel and money they pay, time they are paying their crew to operate the aircraft. >> most planes have several pieces of necessary equipment - such as adsb a gps allowing next gen to do away with radar. we don't have the software. next gone could not have saved

malaysia airlines flilent 370 -- flight mh370. that's how we know about its movement. if next gen comes together, it will be practically impossible to lose track of a flight in the united states. >> in missouri weather spawned a tornado and several funnel clouds. a twister touched down in the city of trenton, and outside jameson missouri. there has been no reports of injuries, kevin corriveau is here to tell us more. >> we are not over with the storm, it will continue. what we are watching is through missouri, what you show through the video is to the north. now we are dealing with a storm across the central part as well as also in two parts of arkansas river. right now the tornado watch is in place as well as a severe

thunderstorm warning. and for st. louis, we are seeing the system go through. we'll see a bit of rain and gusty winds associated with that. in terms of how many tornados we have seep. there's a preliminary counselled. it doesn't get confirmed until they go out and look at the site. they are thinking about six tornados touched down in the northern area. we saw a bit of hail damage in terms of a quarter of app inch, which can cause some damage. tomorrow the temperatures to the south will raise warmer than today, causing intability. we are -- instability, temperatures into the low 80s. arkansas, mississippi, and over to georgia and the carolinas.

>> coming up, school shocker. you won't believe which state has the most segregated classrooms in the country. winning gold. a young woman makes history with a professional hockey

>> president obama will be in saudi arabia in the morning. he spent the day in rome talking about the ukraine crisis with italy's president and prime minister, and met with the leader of the roman catholic church. mike viqueira has more. >> it was a day of ceremony, and substance as president obama travelled to the vatican to meet with the new pope, francis, for the first time. "i'm an agreed admirer", the president said as he greeted the holy father. later they sat face to face at a wooden deck, the pope's desk, and the meeting went 20 minutes over, it was scheduled for 30. when they parted, there was an exchange of gifts, the argentine pope presented president obama with two large medallions said to symbolize the peace between northern and southern helpless spheres, and presented the

president with a copy of his work "the joy of the gospel", serving as a roadmap for the church and his plight on the poor. they talked about the need for immigration reform. there was an area of disagreement. the president's heath care law and its requirement that employees have access to contraceptive coverage, opposed by catholics and the catholic church. in a statement after the meeting the vatican made a reference to the controversy, saying there was a discussion on questions relevant to the church. the exercise of rights to religious freedom, and conscientious objection. the president downplayed the dispute. >> we didn't talk a whole lot about social schisms. the president said it came up briefly in a discussion with other vatican officials. >> thank you so much. >> on day four of the tour, ukraine was at the top of the gaepta -- agenda re with the

pope and the prime minister, president obama stressing the need to stablilize the economy. >> an important thing we need to do is ensure that the ukrainian government is stable, offenses are stable, and that elections go forward as scheduled. >> italians welcome the pope. there was a life camera. there was a meeting with the italian president, and a sight sees visit to the colosseum. the president stays one more night in rome. in the morning he leaves for saudi arabia, his mission to mend fences with a long-term allied. the president upset with policies to syria and iran. travelling with the president in rome, mike viqueira. >> now to the new report on the scandal over lane closure at the george washington bridge. the findings are in for critics of governor christy.

it's not surprising. he was cleared by wrongdoing. he was interviewed by the torpies -- attorneys, though never under oath. and he had this to say to abc news. >> this report said i had no knowledge of it before it happened, nor did i authorise it or have anything to do with it. that's the truth. >> the review puts the blame on former port authority official david wild steep. the government's top raid. the lane closures are under investigation by the justice department. >> now to a stud which about education, an eye opening report on public schools, what it says about race and class. richelle carey is here with more on that. >> the report looks at enrollment trend from the u.s. it says black and latino students are attending school

separate from whites. the study is, in a word, shocking. half a century after desegregation, u.c.l.a. s civil rights project says new york has the moment segregated public schools in the country. >> there are no policies nationwide, particularly in new york city, that incentivise schools to have diversity. >> the report finds an overwhelming black and hispanic schools attending schools at 10%. >> it's not just race, it's class. >> many communities are organised by racial groups and class. we don't want systems that reproduce inequalities. as a school becomes heavily minority it becomes low

incomement >> 75% of charter schools have less than 1% white enrolment. it's largely driven by new york city, the symbol of the melting with pot. consider the city's high school. a competitive and highly regarded school. it has opinion enrollment of 3,000. according to the "new york times", seven black students were admitted. is that the reason why we go to school, so we can communicate and live in a better community. >> in a statement, new york mayor bill de blasio defended his city school saying:

>> the city suggests housing pattern are part of the problem and school segregation could be fixed through policies that promote diversity. >> a revealing report. >> the air force removed nine nuclear officers from their jobs for turning a blind eye to cheating. they'll be reassigned to staff jobs. an officer resigned from the service. the officers did not take part in the cheating. but the air force said they allowed a culture of cheating to take hold among officers. >> taking on twitter and youtube. what the battle may mean for the future. plus, sticker shock, what makes this veolia worth $45 milliiola we look at this musical master piece.

"

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler in new york. and we have a lot to cover this half hour. deadly force - albuquerque worries about its imaging after a series of police shootings. we talk to a mother concerned that her child could be the next person shot. antisocial - the latest move to shut social media and criticise of the government in turkey. >> and the gold medal-winning goalie blacking bar yours, she's playing professionally with the guys. first richelle carey with the top stories. >> president obama heads to saudi arabia in the morning for the final leg of his overseas trip. thursday he met pope francis, and discussed equality. he met the italian president and prime minister. >> the hunt for malaysia airlines flight mh370 moved to a

new location. what you see is a press conference getting under way. the search area is 680 miles north of the previous spot. this is a live picture from the weres catholic church in canberra australia. that's what you see the press getting ready. we will monitor the press conference and give you details that come out of that. >> in washington. the sixth day of searching for survivors of the mud slide, officials are facing questions about whether they ignored warping scenes, and the governor will look at whether they should do more to assess landslide risks. 16 confirmed dead, 90 missing. more news tomorrow. >> thank you. more on the story. we want to check in with our correspondent near the site of the mud slide. allen schauffler is back with us. he's been there all week.

what can you tell us, what can we expect going forward? >> i think we can expect shocks to this community and frankly to all of us. objectively, not necessarily a surprise when we see and hear the numbers go up dramatically, which we expect to happen. it will be a shock to the system of a lot of people hear. safe to say a lot of people know who is missing and buried under the mud. when they come out and say these are the name, these are the people we are looking for and expect to not be able to find, possibly. that's will be stunning for a lot of people here. we understand that emergency responders are looking into the legalities to see if they can release the names and identities before notifying families or victims. we expect horrible numbers to go up. the difficult work continues at

the slide site for the sixth straight day. the workers are working hard and are being very careful. >> as far as i'm concerned we are still in a rescue mode. i have not lost hope. there's a lot of people that have not lost hope. we are not running big huge heavy equipment over areas where we may collapse something where we could have a survivor. that chance is very slim. but we haven't given up. >> difficult out there today. again, light rains occasionally during the day, making things worse. >> more predict tomorrow and the next day. they'll deal with the same conditions - none present. >> how are the rescue crews holing up? >> they keep up a good front, i tell you that. i talked with a chaplain who says that he and others have been very busy, that a lot of

folks in situations like this need someone to talk to. it almost doesn't matter what they say. having a chaplain on hand, willing to listen to someone putting in 8-10 hours doing this kind of work is important. we talked to some of the local firefighters who spent the first four days at the site. it was hard for them to describe what they have been doing without tears coming into their eyes it's challenging all the way arrangement. they know the people they are looking for. when they find them it's a victory and a confirmation of a horrible loss. how are they holding up. inside a lot of them are hurting. >> thank you again. >> two fatal shootings in 10 days by albuquerque law men put the spotlight on a mexico police department. parents asked if it could happen to one of their open.

we get more on that live in pushing from heidi zhou-castro. tell us about the public reaction? >> the local discontent with the police department has been festering for years, and turned to outrage when people saw the video of the killing of james buoyed. he was 38 when shot. he was homeless, mentally ill and armed with knives. he was threatening officers. he was cooperative and turning around when officers shot six rounds at boyd, killing him. this video went viral and sparked protests in albuquerque. on tuesday, a group close to 2,000 people marched to albuquerque in protest of boyd's killing. 24 hours after shooting the video, albuquerque is on the scene of another fatal shooting.

the death of alfred redwine, the 24th person to be killed in albuquerque. that brings us to the latest display of anger. a column written in the "albuquerque journal", by a woman who no longer feels her family is safe mere here. >> i have a mentally ill son, and i worry about that. i had a meeting with members of his school to talk about "what can we do to help your son?" there was an albuquerque police officer there. he basically says "you need to call 911 any time he gets out of control or gets violent." i looked at the police officer and said "i'm afraid to call you guys, i don't want to call you guys. i'm afraid of what you'll do to my son, more than what i'm afraid of my son doing to me." it was echoed in the newspaper

column, listing hundreds of responses for families that share the same here. >> everyone is trying to figure out why there has been so many shootings, what is said about albuquerque police training? >> a lot of people are looking at training and the hiring standards. they have lowered, coming from a former albuquerque police. he said it's evidenced by what we saw in the james boyd clear. an officer was hired by albuquerque after being fired working for the state police. if you dig further, looking back at the history, of police fatal shootings, you see a pattern. in many cases the officer involved was hired, despite having red flags in the background the police chief has been on the job for a month.

during the month there has been two fatal police shootings. he's investigating, looking at the department. as the u.s. department of justice wraps up its year and a half long investigation looking into the police department. >> heidi zhou-castro, thank you very much. >> the nation's law maker september a message to russia's president vladimir putin when the house and senate approved sanctions against key officials. lawmakers voted in favour of giving ukrainians a billion in loan guarantees. almost identical bills passed. congressional leaders hope to have a bill on the president's desk by the end of the week. >> in crimea a changing of the guard is under way. russian-backed forces have been over ukraine's military assets. vessels at sea and the ukrainian navy combat dolphins - they can

be sent out on patrol and attack military scuba divers or attack in the water. ukraine's training center for combat dolphins is one of two. the other is in san diego. the dowl fence are drafted into -- dolphins are trained to combat mines but not for warfare. >> attacks in syria ended up on youtube. the turkish government blocks the side that allows the twitter feed. >> the turkish foreign ministry said it's a cyber attack aimed at the turkish republic. it's like a declaration of war. it was described as an attack on turkey's national security,

vowing to secure those behind it. all this as the turkish government has been battling corruption. social media websites were used to leak audio allegedly for the prime minister and members of his gst. the government and prime minister denied the accusations and said that his enemies were using social media website aimed at toppling his government. >> joining us now is ari rad ner from the truman national security project. welcome. why would the prime minister block youtube? >> well, i think prime minister recep tayyip erdogan has seen a series of challenges it his rule over the past year, starting with the protests in desi park, including corruption allegations in december and continuing. the turkish government claims that the you twub blocking was

due to security issues. given the history with twitter and a broader silencing of the media, there's a lot of scepticism that this is about internal opposition and silencing of the president. this country includes educated population, and active on social media. what impact is it expected to have on the election? >> well i think the reality is it will have a limited impact. anyone sophisticated knows how to get around a lot of these blocks. most of the people that are sophisticated and looking for critical information are voting for the prime minister. it shows that he views himself under threat and in many respects it shows a position of weighingness. the election, like electioning in many countries will be decided by the fundamental

country, not the blocking of social media sites. >> what do you think set him off. in many respects he's not unique for an author tare yn leader. he is democratically elected. his rule in turkey witnessed a lot of successes. serious economic growth, a return to preeminence in the region in many respects. over the last year, it's clear he doesn't take criticism well and doesn't take personal criticism well, and he's a control freak, and it's a bad time to be a control freak. specifically in the middle east. it's difficult to say what sets him off. he doesn't like personnel attack, and he does not seem to be able to cope with opposition in general.

>> is it possible he'll have backlashing with this. irrespective of this there'll be a backlash. he is likely to be the winner, but the margin is based on previous elections and it will almost certainly be lower. unquestionably, whether it affects the vote. it had a backlash in turkish society. if you walk the halls of power in washington. prime minister recep tayyip erdogan, seen as an important regional player is somewhat of a laughing stock. no one takes him seerlds on the level -- seriously on the level he was taken three or four years ago. >> in the past the got shut radio, television stations, and had control over newspapers. that has changed.

what is the threat about technology when it comes to twitter, youtube and facebook. >> everyone is their own reporter. the reality is it's difficult to take down a system and do it in a way that is unobtrusive. you saw the government egypt spur their own revolution, when one of the first things they did is shut down the internet access entirely, and that happened in turkey, it's been targeted towards specific sites, twitter, youtube. it's been simultaneously less effective. and also really doesn't get to the root of the problem the route of the problem for any government is addressing concerns of citizens. they are newly empowered by technology, not to control everything, but to communicate. you can't stop that. >> good to have you on the program. thank you. >> in northern australia,

crocodiles were almost extinct once. now they are so plentiful they are a threat to the people that live there. >> in the river systems of northern australia crocodiles are so abundant they jump for food, for tourists. wildlife rangers warn the growing numbers mean a greater threat to humans. >> they are an opportunistic killer, they are dangerous and must bet treated with respect. >> tom nicholls lost two fingers to one. he's in charge of capturing crocodiles that get too close to areas where people live. >> one, two, tloo. >> where once there were a few thousand crocs left, nichols says the ban on hunting them has allowed them to boom. he estimates more than 100,000.

>> when we started, it was a situation bringing them up to an abundant number. now we have too many, what do we do. >> an 11-year-old girl taken by a crocodile. >> 12-year-old boy died in a crock dale attack. >> indeed, crocodile attacks are on the rise in northern australia. often of the victims are children. >> this scientist chartered the reptile's return and we join him in a swamp as he tries to collect crocodile eggs. it's dangsz work. getting there has its difficulties. female crocs fearlessly guard their work. >> charlie and their team have to deal with soing rats. it's sharp. if you hold on to it, it rips your hands open. on top of that, they have to

look out for the mother crop. >> the team remove eggs from the next. once a conservationist he supports the hunt. a government decision to protect them is misguided. >> this is australia biggest carnival. they have to be worth something. if people think they are not worth anything, they don't want to conserve it. >> some, especially in the aboriginal community oppose the idea. they revere crocodiles and believe humans are ingrinninging on their territory. >> we have to respect animals and the water. >> australia government rejected the call to cull their numbers. experts warn more deaths are inevitable. and the question, how long will the predators remain protected. >> coming up, our picture of the

day, plus... ..$45 million. find out why this is the most expensive musical instrument in history.

>> good evening i'm kevin corriveau, we are continue to wash the whether moving from illinois. we'll watch for tornados as the system goes through. we do think that the system will start to really begin to dissipate with the heating of the day dissipating. tomorrow temperatures look like this. 84 degrees, up to memphis, 72. warmer to the south. the severe threat will continue tomorrow across louisiana, arkansas and mississippi. we have another day in a different location. wet conditions across the

south-east, with atlanta seeing thunder storms up 67 degrees. not until we get to sunday will we break out and see better conditions. >> remember the blizzard that we saw across parts of cape cod. things have cleared up. we are seeing the next phase of snow pushing through new york as well as lamont and new hampshire. that is rain. that is a look at the weather. your news is after

>> now to the story of a hockey goalie making history by playing with the guys on a pro-hockey team. jessica taff has her story. >> what makes a good goalie? >> mentally strong. >> ability bounce back. >> the colombus cotton mouths introduced their new plaf.

it was history making moment as shannon became the first woman in the southern professional hockey league. >> it was special. i had been here a couple of days, something i looked forward to and what you dreamed of as a kid. >> i have been in the game for a while and seen a lot of things. i was proud that it happened with my team. >> this is not the first time she has played with the men. she always has. the 27-year-old edmonton native was the first woman to play in the western hockey league and played in the men's team in northern alberta technology team. >> what is the difference playing the men versus the women? >> it's a different game. the guys are bigger, stronger, faster. the more she plays, the less gender is an issue. she helps to win the ice hockey metal in 2010 and 2014.

her former team-mate was instrumental. it was a campaign two years in the making. >> i wanted her in because i wanted to win. the main goal is to win a championship. >> his philosophy. if you can't beat them, join them. she played against me in junior. her team beat us out in play-offs. she was the goalie. we scored two out of four on her. >> as soon as as kyle came here, he spoke about it. it's something i have been thinking about it. >> i would be lying to you if i said that i wouldn't get publicity about it. it would help to put a few more people in the building. at the same time, talking with kyle and the guys that play, she's legit. >> i had a friend that played in junior in alberta. she won goalie of the year, which is impressive for a girl. >> you see her on tv.

and she's like a celebrity. it's cool. >> you haven't asked for an autograph? >> no - just a picture. >> hockey will be the easy part. >> the biggest challenge is the reception into the league. she's a special play. she is a hockey player. >> what is the ultimate goal. >> play the highest level possible. that's what you dream of, and for me my first pro game was a step towards that. just enjoy every moment and keep working at it. >> that's jessica taff reporting. >> okay, it could be the most expensive musical instrument sold, a rare viola going to auction. it's over 300 years old, valued at $45 million. john terrett reports. >> the finest of saul the stradavarius violas is said to be the mcdonald made in 1719.

you are looking at it, hearing it. in a vault in london for 25 years it's being sold at auction in june with a price tag of $45 million. david erin carpenter is at southby's putting it through its paces. >> it's in perfect condition, as if stradavarius handed it to you. and to see the provenance and people who played on it and collectors who collected it - you are part of history when touching and playing it. >> there's a joke - when someone gets foo the back of the taxi with a violin case the driver says. >> have you got a stradavarius in there. sometimes i have. >> meet tim inkal in charge of the sales. >> highs velas are rare. there's only 10 complete stradavarius violas, this makes

the appearance very, very special. >> when reading the description. mcdonald, it's easy to get carried away. >> the front is alpipe spruce. the back a single piece of maple. the assistant rippling flame of the maple slopes downward. the instrument has a strength, weight and mus cool arty procaming a force of its own. is it me or is it getting hot in here. >> stradavarius was an italian who was a pioneer in music am instrument making. davis tells me no one got it quite as rite as stradavarius did. lisp carefully and you may hear what he plans.
