streets. >> the army says the soldier behind the latest fort hood shooting appears to have been acting alone that soldier shot and killed three people at the base, in texas yesterday, 16 others were wounded before he turned the gun on himself. it's the same base, where an army psychiatrists shot 13 people dead in 2009. texas congressman michael mccall identified the shooter as third four-year-old ivan lopez. as you mentioned you had 16 people that were injured we were just briefed by doctors they tell us that the good news is that they don't believe that any of the

injuries that these people are recovering from, appear to be lite threatened but they add they are not totally in the clear. >> our patients are still under significant stress, with ehave a lot of work to do in the operating room and the time to come. this is just the beginning of the process. trauma is a continuum of care, and it starts in the field with the medics and continues to the o.r. to the i.c.u. and on to rehab. so there's a tremendous amount of work to be done p h i would say in terms of life threatening events i feel pretty good. but we zillion have time to go before i declare them completely out of the woods. >> now, three people right now are in critical condition, you have about five others that are between fair and good condition. one of those that's in critical condition sustained an injury near his spinal area, so paralysis is a possibility. in the meantime, the

investigation continues authorities are still trying to figure out what led to this. so the question of modetive still out there. brandon, thank you. federal officials are investigating the shooting calling the facts fluid and the senate armed services committee today, the secretary of the army had detailed about the alleged shooter, so let's go to randall pinkston who is joining us from washington, randall, tell us about what we know about the suspect at this point? >> well, stephanie, army officials are saying that thing accused gunman was an experienced soldier. that he served for eight years in the national guard in puerto rico, before enlisting in the regular army, he enlisted as an infin truman, then switched his military occupational specialty to truck driver. he was deployed twice, and then he served four months in iraq as a truck driver.

army secretary said a recent background check revealed no red flags. >> the background we with have done thus far, show no involvement with extremists organizations of any kind. but as general millie said to me last evening, and i know the chief and i fully support, we are not making any assumptions by that, we are keeping an open mind and an open investigation, and we will go where the facts lead us, and possibility extremist involvement is still being looked at. he had a clean record, in terms of his behowever, no outstanding bad marks. >> as brandon indicated no indication of motive yet, however, there will be talking to military associates of the accused gunman, as well as relatives and friends, and the army revealed that last night that questioning began with the accused shooter's

wife. >> stephanie, rack dam, how did the 2009 shooting that took place at this same military installation effect the security response to yesterday's events. >> it was another tragic event, of course, as we know, where army major nadal hassan a psychiatrists shot and killed 12 people. he is now on death row. after that shooting there was a top to bottom review of security procedures on post and bases around the world, there were a recommendations in a 2010 report and the then secretary of defense robert gates imposed ordered a lot of those recommendations to be put into place. some of them included making sure that people on the base would be notified quickly. making sure there were new procedures tor responding in the event of an emergency. and yesterday, the army chief of staff today rather the army chief of staff said a lot of those new procedures worked.

some of the procedures did help us yesterday. the alert, the response, the training that has gone into the response forces that responded i think contributed to making this something that could have been much much worse. >> among the recommendations 4 1/2 years ago, was for the military to see if they could put into place a way to identify people who might be prone to violence before they committed a violent act. obviously at this point that has not yet worked out. randall, thank you for us in washington. speaker john boehner ebbing pressing his condolences. he also spoke about gun ownership in america. >> there a no question that those with mental health issues should be

prevented from owning weapons. this issue we need to continue to look at to find a way to keep weapons out of the hands of people who should not have them. >> speaker baner backed up those statements pointing to legislation that will study the link between guns and mental illness. we h bring you that news conference live when it happens. the death toll from the rosso mudslide has reached 30 victims. a 13-year-old boy, meantime medical examiners are having trouble identifying at least one of the confirmed test. 13 remain as missing. funerals are set to begin on saturday. a huge after shock rocks chili. the 7.6 magnitude after

shock struck off the coast of northern chili triggering a tsunami alert. so far there have been no reports or damages or injuries. the familiar siren, and order to move to high ground. >> answered within seconds since thursday night'sth quake, here in the northern port city, hundreds of thousands of residents left they homes clearly prepared. walking sometimes running nervously, but a remarkable order, a routine that has become too routine. >> nothing, nothing. >> i have never been frightened of earthquakes, they are common, but never like this. who broke her arm when she fell during tuesday's earthquake. >> people are outside, they are listening to the

radio as you can see, and they are covered with blankets. prepaying to spend another night outdoors. in fact, people here are telling us that it's been more than two days since they have had any sleep. >> our team has arrived in the late afternoon, on the chillian air force plane. we found long lines of people trying to get water, many are still without power too. but surprisingly absent is the mass destruction and loss of life so often associated with an 8.2 magnitude earthquake. >> in this city, we have had a lot of rehearsals that's why things didn't get out of control. >> the president who had been touring the most vulnerable areas was also forced to move inland. the whole border was evacuated. as well as the rest of chili, so we of course continue with the corresponding procedures. we hope that everyone

remains chalk and follows the instructions that the authorities have given, so that we can all be safe. oven before the latest, we found people spending another night outdoors in their cars or on the streets. >> i'm still frightened something worse will happen. on the radio they are saying that another bigger quake is coming. >> a collective psychos is is seems to increase with every powerful after shock. shortly before 3:00 a.m., the warning is lifted and people are encouraged to return home. but if too many, that's a place that no longer feels safe. >> am al jazeera, chili. >> illinois recently became the latest state to pass a concealed carry law. now thousands of people are lining up to get a permit, but some have is been denied.

dianne, so what reasons mite the state have for denying licenses? >> well, stephanie, somebody might not be able to get a license they have a history of domestic violence, or an order of protection against them. now, anybody in the state what wants to get a license, has to go flu a certification process first, and that means 16 hours of training. it includes classroom training and training on a shooting range, which is what i'm standing in front of right now. i'm at bat guns in east illinois. i spent some time here yesterday, got some instruction, they showed me how to prop rally handle the gun, how to point it at a target, and shoot it. the company says about 30% of the people who have come through their classes so far, and they have seen thousands of people come through since october, have been women. and they say a lot of these women may be work late at night, they are walking to parking lot that's not well lit, and they want to be

protected. knoll garcia an instructor here says it was somewhat controversial this law here in illinois because of the amount of gun violence that we have seen in chicago particularly. over the last few years, but he says even though illinois resident cans now carry concealed firearms it doesn't mean that the state is necessarily going to become that much more violent. >> 49 other states have concealed carry and they are not the wild west, we are the last state and look at our crime in the city. we are the one with the strictest gun laws and the crime rate with firearms is tremendous there. so it's not going to be the wild west, it's just going to be able to keep law abiding citizens feeling safer. so to date, illinois has given out about 24,000 licenses for concealed carry, it expected to possibly issue up to 400,000 licenses by the end of this year.

stephanie. >> so dianne, again, hundreds of people have been denied licenses because of invalidated training what is behind that? >> what happened is these people -- many of these people took classes from somebody, who was telling them that they could take the class online. you can't do that. you have to get classroom training and then training on a shooting range. ten that wasn't viable training according to the state. those people will have to take it over again, but they won't have to pay the fee to take the case. >> and hundreds of thousands of people are hoping for one of these licenses. die app, thank you. doing everything possible to keep kids safe, coming up ways predators are trying to reach children.

iraq war veteran whoer an sought treatment for depresentation and anxiety. the death toll for the's sew mudslide has reached 30 victims. 13 people remain listed as missing. chile has been a hit again. by a huge after shock, the powerful 7.6 magnitude quake struck off the coast of northern chili to ring a tsunami alert. the after shock comes just one day after an 8.2 earthquake shook chili. israel has decided not to release a fourth group of palestinian prisoners. the decision followed the push for defective state hood by joining 15 treaties.

nick, what prompted this sudden decision by israel? >> well, stephanie, what you just said, over the last 45 hours we have been from the u.s. hoping there's a deal between them and the israelis and therefore the israelis and the palestinians to the palestinians deciding to join those u.n. organizations everybody though it properties not to. israel says because you did that, we don't have to stick to air promises. and we are not going to release the fourth group of prisoners which it had promised to do at the beginning of the talks. the prisoners were suppose to be released last week. now chief negotiator says they will not be released at all. she sent out a statement saying they violated the terms set for the prison release, and that's why they have not done so. soen it's face, this is simply a tit for tat. the palestine januaries join the u.n. conventions

the israelis, therefore, say look, we are just simply not going to release them because of what you did. >> what does this mean to the peace process. >> that is the $64,000 question, and there is no onance for that. on it's face, the peace talks are dead, right, because the palestinians promise something, they have now taken that off the table, assuming suggesting that they don't think these talks are going on. the israelis have done something they have promised not to do, the assumption is they don't think the peace talks are going on. but these are definitely not dead, the u.s. won't give up. john kerry says we will not give up, we will much both sides to keep going, and they both need to make tough decisions. last night his main envoy had a seven hour meeting with israeli and palestinian negotiators. the u.s. officials tell me did not go very well, and obviously we are

seeing part of the conclusion of that meeting or failure of the meeting is that steal has pushed ahead and not done the prisoner swap. stephanie, they do have four more weeks to continue. not a final piece, not even a future frame work for future talks, no, the goal is to save the talks fast the end of the month, but frankly it isn't clear if they can do even that. >> i i can see it is the end of the day there, interesting to see reaction tomorrow. reporting to us live with this breaking news, thank you. in this excerpt, from america tonight, michael shows us

they are selected by a ball club and sign their first professional contract. but the reality of chasing the dream sets in, when they look into the details of that contract. >> minor leaguer has no choice but to sign that contract if they want to get into the industry of baseball. and for that first year, major league baseball acting as a cartel since they have the trust exemption, theft set salaries at $1,100 a month. >> brush house paid six seasons in the minors after being drafted bety san francisco giants in 2004. after giving up his hard ball dream in 2009, he went to law school, but his financial struggle in the minors stuck with him. most players earn less than $7,500 a year. a number that led him to file a lawsuit on behalf of 20 minor leaguers against major league baseball, commissioner bud selig and 17 teams.

claiming that they are violating labor laws by paying minor leaguers less than the federal minimum wage. >> the provisions that deal with the wages are certainly illegal from the standpoint that they don't comply with federal and state wage and hour laws. so in those ways they are illegal. >> the lawsuit claims since 1976, major league players salaries have risen 2,000%, and yet minor league salaries have risen only 75%, meanwhile inflation has risen by more than 400%, in that same period. the result, players actually earn less today than players in 1976. we are just asking that major league comply with the same laws that wal-mart is complying with, and mcdonalds. we aren't asking for minor leaguers to be making 50,000, or $75,000 or even $30,000. >> while many fans enjoy

making a south every march, those in the minor league expected are expected to make the trip, and then play for free. that's because despite playing in front of thousands of paying customers, the minor leaguers aren't paid for their services at all. >> the contract specifies that the players under a duty, to perform services throughout the year, but no samurai will be provided except for that five month season. >> that was jessica taft reporting and just to give you a better understanding of the salary discrepancy, philadelphia philly pitcher for this year alone, $25 million. watching again today, we have tornado watch in effect, now a few warnings coming in for the national weather service, and getting severe thunderstorm warnings and a tornado warning, southern missouri storms have had a history of producing
