8:08 pm
all caused he said by gunfire. now, the three in serious condition who remain at scotland wide, according to dr. davis, include a neck injury, a spine injury, that may lead to possible paralysis, and an abdominal injury. now according to the hospital, many of the victims have had their families at their beside overnight last night. and despite everything spirits were said to be high. the hospital also says that at the request of the u.s. military, it won't be offering media interviews with patients or family members for the time being. john we are getting word about one of those kills. >> yes, we are, they tend not to say very much about the people who are involved, but of course, other people do talk. and within the last couple of minutes the press is begun reporting
8:09 pm
that 77-year-old who comed two weeks ago, libby, was reuninated with with the daughter she gave up for adoption at birth, and she hasn't since the daughter since she was born. the daughter sought her out, the two were reuninated on march the 23rd, and according to the. p., u.s. army sergeant her son, was one of the four killed yesterday. there are no words for stories like that. >> we will hear more about the other victims as the stories go on. >> a retired colonel and army psychiatrists and joins us now from washington, d.c. to give us some perspective about the mental health issues we have been hearing about, i want with to start with with this, the army is saying that specialist lopez was being evaluated for ptsb, do we need to be careful with corelating with acts of violence? >> absolutely.
8:10 pm
it has a rake of severity, it can be mild or severe, but it has not been associated with acts of violence with mass shootings the way some other mental illnesses are more closely aligned. like everybody,ly be curious to find out if it is just ptsb, which are very very common disorders. or whether it was something more serious. such as delusions and paranoia. where there classic symptoms? are we talking more of a depressive state, rather nan a tense angry lashing out state? >> well, ptsd has many symptoms and that's part of the collage. so it wasn't a diagnosis until after the end of the vietnam war, and then it was used to describe
8:11 pm
the cluster of symptoms which includes flashbacks, nightmares, hyper individual lenes, which means getting easily startled and tense. and that if you are in a war zone, looking around all the time. is helpful, and then it also includes symptoms of numbness and detachment. it was expanded last spring, and now includes sleep disturbances and some other symptoms such as having physical reactions when you reexposed to trauma, so again, it is a wide range of different symptoms. >> dr., ritchie, what is the evaluation process like? we are hearing this was aplenty think process, that diagnosis process for specialists lopez, why does it take so long? >> well, a couple of reasons. one is you start out
8:12 pm
usually with a self-report by the patient of their symptoms. and that may be with a questionnaire, or an interview. and then you want with to evaluate the person over time, and in some cases it is really clear right away, that somebody has frost traumatic stress, in other cases in's kind of a gray area between that and an signingty, and depression. and people are trying to be careful. the other thing is as symptoms change, and they change with medications, so for example, the nightmares very responsive to medication or other techniques. and so sometimes it's symptoms go away on their own, or with treatment, and then you get into questions is this still the full post traumatic stress disorder. ore it is a milder version. >> it is not confined to members of the military. is there a difference?
8:13 pm
is difference is a couple of ways. in the civilian population it often occurs after rape or sexual assault, in a position where somebody may feel very frightened and vulnerable. and the assault is can be very shaming to them as well. in the military, people volunteer for the army, they neither going to combat, they are prepared for it, and actually now post traumatic stress disorder is much less of a stick matizing condition than it was even ten years ago. so in a funny way it can be easier for the military. on the other hand, people have had repeated exposure to combat, to bad situations over many years. so if they do have the disorder, it can be harder to treatment. >> thank you for joining us, she is a retired colonel and army psychiatrists.
8:14 pm
next un, peace talks are in doubt after israel calls off plans to release another group of palestinian prisoners. plus, torture report, a senate committee votes to make a ceo report about interrogation public. also an ocean of garbage, making it difficult to find missing flight 370. debris turn out to just be trash.
8:15 pm
8:16 pm
blatche. >> no injuries or zero is yous with damage was reported. rebecca stevenson is is tracking the storms for us this hour p p rebecca? is. >> most of what with we are getting is a lot of reports of powerful wind gusts. and also we are getting ping-pong to baseball size hail.
8:17 pm
bringing a lot of rain, very dangerous to be outside, and is they are tracking just to the north of dallas. so this really has our attention, especially because this is a large population, and we have a new round of storms heading your way, as it tracks to the northeast. as other storms track up into arkansas right now. we are also seeing this line of atmospheres. and it is allowing these storms to just blow up, and that is what is causing a lot of damage of down trees. a lot of reports of sheds being damaged as well. tornado warning stretching all the way across, right now, this is going to be tracking it's way to st. louis, so again, another potential st. louis suburb getting the potential of a tornado. now, we with have already had that confirmed but we have yet to see it happen
8:18 pm
on camera again. the syringe owe you are looking at was in texas and very likely could be a rain wrap tornado which is one of the most dangerous, because you don't see them coming. high we have severe warnings. also, where this is going to frac in the hour. >> thank you. secretary of state john kerry says ins a critical moment in the push to find peace in the middle east. despite months of talks the israelis and the palestinians seem is to be moving further apart. nick reports from jerusalem. for 2007 days the top diplomate made the top priority. more than 40 times the israeli officials. press conference, after press conference, after press conference. but thursday alone and separated from both sides from 1500 miles kerry made a last minute plea for them to keep talking.
8:19 pm
the leaders have to lead, they have to be able to see a moment when it is there is. now it is time to drink and the leaders need to know that. >> but neither side seems thirsty. first after releasing three groups of prisoners the israelis refuse to release a fourth group, even though they promised to. then palestinian president signed 15 international agreements, even though he promises not to during the talks. and now in response, they officially canceled the prisoner release. the question is whether those challenges are insurmountable. neither side has walked away yet, and that means kerry and his aids will keep working to keep both sides talking. >> we will continue to try to facilitate the people to make peace.
8:20 pm
2369 con ten, and both sides admit it solved nothing. a senior official posed to me this question, does the u.s. want peace more than the israelis and palestinians want it? the answer to that will determine whether these peace talks survive or die. >> al jazeera, jerusalem. >> russia says it has arrested 25 ukrainians. the move comes after ukraine security service detained 12 members of a police unit, suspected in the sniper death of antigovernment protestors in kiev. the government says the killings were ordered by then president. but offer nod proof of this it's also suggested russian security forces were involved. a secret report that harshly criticizes the
8:21 pm
buescher rah interrogation techniques could seen be made public. the intelligence commit tee has voted to declass few parts of the report. al jazeera has more from washington. >> from anonymous leaks to the press of what is is in the record. the gist, the cia torture program was more brutal, it was utterly ineffective in getting any useful information from detaining knees and not only that, the cia consistently and willfully miss led everybody about how effective the torture program was. lied about the torture programs effectiveness, we hope to find out more detail if and when the 480 page executive summary findings and conclusions are released from what is a 6,300 page
8:22 pm
report. who is going to be in charge of overseeing the release of this report to the public if it is the white house, then perhaps we finally know the truth of the torture program. if however the white house seizes control of redacting the document before it's publication to the cia, a report about is cia's own misconduct with which the cia has already had trouble with, has already said it doesn't accept many of these findings then there may be trouble and suggest the white house isn't serious about full transparency. is because disa very fundamental principle on executive presidential privilege. people are being tortured not through an act of congress, but because of president usual power, and if president obama is is transparent about george w bush's use of that power, then what about president obama's use of that power? he may not be kidnapping
8:23 pm
and torturing people, but he is is using it to kill people around the world. and ink deed a suggestion again that the white house hasn't really been cooperating with that release. again, it is back to where these agencies really want this to be released. the chairman of the senate said she hopes that the report will be released within 30 days. most people around here expect this process to take some months. australia's prime minister calls the search for the missing jet the most difficult ever undertaken. authorities say the plane's flight recorder is likely to stop emitting cig unanimouses within days. several planes continue to comb the indian ocean for signs of debris. the british have lent a nuclear submarine to help. 239 people were onboard.
8:24 pm
pollution has been complicated the search for flight 370. zester crews have been mistaking garbage in the open for possible plane debris. it is bringing world attention to a big pollution problem. we spoke with oceanographer who has been researching ocean garbage. >> i'm the founder of the marine research institute. the plane has been missing for just over three weeks now. and it's not as if there is going to be a lot of debris, most of the debris will be metallic, or heavier than water, and sink. 200 million tons is a round number we can use to describe the amount of debris floating in the ocean right now. and we are changing the essential characteristics of the effect realm from the beaches to the deep sea. the i don't think the public is aware of that, we have what with we call five garbage patches in
8:25 pm
these five accumulations zones in the ocean. you have a situation in which you are competing for visuals with 20 million tons of junk. what i have here to show you is something that's been floating in the ocean for a long time, laundry basket, so long that it's gone corral growing in it. what happens typically, is that a large object will become embrettled by solar action, and then these are the particles that we find in out in the ocean. the indian ocean we troll up sample here, this is plastic from the indian ocean. and it will wash up on the beach that's replacing the sand, so we with have a new kind of sand on the beaches of the world. but i don't want to let that message go. that the ocean is now a
8:26 pm
plastic soup. it's changed it's essential nature, the ocean water is fouled with plastic and the micro size class off the way up to large docks and containers and boats. and there's no way to remove it. >> charles moore says he believes the oceans will eventually clean themselves but only if society stop pros duiing harmful materials like plastic, a material that can take hundreds of years to break down. the c.e.o. which developed the fire fox web browser has resigned. he is in the middle of a controversial over his support for a campaign to ban gay marriage in california. the online dating is organized a boycott in protest. h aegisessed for not responding sooner. next up. >> to see unspeakable senseless violence happen, in a place where

8:32 pm
>> throughout the day, political and military leaders openly struggled to understand what happened and why. >> clearly, we may have missed something yesterday. we need to work very hard to understand what that might have been. >> the focus was on the suspect's mental state, and whether signals that could have prevented the tragedy were missed. >> we do quite significant screening but it doesn't mean that it is right, and it doesn't mean we can'tism prove it, we have to constantly evaluate this, this is something we have to deal with for a very long period of time. and that's the consequence of 13 years of war. >> after the horror at newtown, congress moved toward passing tougher gun laws including expanding background checks to cover a history of mental illness. that effort collapsed one year ago this month. thursday there were renewed calls. >> there's no question with that nose with mental health issues should be prevented from
8:33 pm
owning weapons. >> others think the ban on soldiers carrying weapons should end, the logic for more were armed the shooter could have been stopped. >> i think our military members are very responsibility, and we need to look at having more capability, not less to deal with insider threats. despite what speaker john boehner said, they are likely to run into the same old political dynamic that derailed those just one month ago. >> thank you. the obama administration is down playing an associated press investigation into a so called cuban twitter. the a.p. says the agency secretliens thed a social network aimed at underminding cuba's communist regime. david reports. >> it is no secret that young cubans crave access to social media enjoyed by those in the rest of the world.
8:34 pm
a new report wants to exploit that by setting up this service, similar to twitter. according to the press, it was done so a complicated system of front companies, set up abroad to highlight the cuban authorities. this was an effort, a one of a variety that the united states engaged in as part of it's development to promote the flow of free information to promote engangment by citizens the yeah id is to build up a strong base, before launching more politically provocative messages. the first test came in 2009. by the columbian singer.
8:35 pm
represented in havana by this interest section. >> they would say there's nothing new in u.s. efforts to undermine the government, but the scope of these goes beyond anything we with have seen in recent years. the pressure on the u.s. presence here has suddenly grown dramatically. were with set up after an employee linked half a million records from one of the most tightly controlled systems in the world. >> just one more example of what has been going on for 50 years. the u.s. cannot -- is so obsessed with cuba, it cannot stop trying to overflow it.
8:36 pm
by the middle of 2012, it could have disappeared. >> but the political damaged caused by these were going for a while longer. al jazeera, havana cuba. >> david joins us this evening he is a contributing writer and a former microsoft and google software engineer. is this complicated to set up? >> the trickiest patter came from the goal to obscure any involvement whatsoever. so the network seems to be completely based in spain, and the money was going through the kaman islands. >> and talk about money, does it cost much to set this you have? >> it looks like it didn't consume a tremendous amount. it looks like the budget
8:37 pm
was in the millions of dollars but the program was canceled not because -- not for political reasons but because it turns out that the u.s. was subsidized this pseudotwitter that had been set up, and that the response from the u.s. agency for international was that the contractor responsible had made no movement towards making the -- this pseudotipper self-sufficient, and self-financing. >> and the name of play on a twitter sound, on the local twitter sound? >> yes, for humiditying birds tweet. did the story surprise you. >> yes, it is something of a surreal story. one because it isn't coming out of one othe intelligence agencies. but for the agency for development, which is thought to be one of the more -- less political arm.
8:38 pm
so to the extent that it might damage u.s.a.i.d. in other regards it is something that i think the administration wants to down play the importance of. the other surprising aspect is i think in they they seem to think that by setting up a social network they can dissent just in the same way. i guess looking at iran and saying well, all we need to do is set up a twitter. all they did was bankruptly disappear in 2012. >> talk to us more about this idea of using social media, using the
8:39 pm
internet, inspire reforms? couldn't that happen? we have seen it happen in other countries what was different? >> i think you can play a component. i think that in some ways the media has overplayed the role that it plays in iran and in egypt. because there was a lot of stuff on the ground as well. the fallacy here was saying that -- well, there's all this dissent there and all we need to do is give people a way to communicate. when i think what u.s.a. and the government realized is that it isn't that simple, and that effectively they are subsidizing a more or less political twitterer than the united states taxpayers were on the hook for. >> and a democrat referred to the scheme today as dumb dumb dumb. what's your reaction to
8:40 pm
that? >> i would like to know more, but certainly at the very least preverse, and came as a surprise to me that it would go about in this way. as we know, the history of action in cuba does haven't the best track record. so i can understand. >> interesting to see how senators are responding and we will keep watching for reaction. contributor at slate, thank you so much. >> thank you. turkey's government says it will lift it's ban on twitter. yesterday the court ruled that the ban was a violation of personal freedoms. youtube in turkey is still blocked. marketed of the prime minister's efforts to suppress a corruption scandal. the united nations called it a devastating milestone in the syrian civil war, the number of syrian refugees who fled to lebanon has topped one with million.
8:41 pm
this is the 1 millionth refugee. he came here others are high to appeal them to cut them off the aid program. she has onechild, and is pregnant with another. six months ago, she was fold that other refugees have priority. >> for the second time we are drying to appeal the u.n. verdict. it's a painful decision, says u.n. officials but it is a must, because the agencies don't have enough resources to help all the refugees here. financial and other resources have been depleted.
8:42 pm
each day, about 12500 cross, rooking for shelter, foot, health services and ex-case. but the government and the u.n. say they have less than one quarter of the money needed to provide for all those coming in. the government is appealing for donations. >> they are burdened on the geographic, the demographics, energy, electricity, the air, education, and health services. it is a seen use threat. >> in some communities there are more syrian refugees than lebanese, and we don't have enough to help centers. we can see them being -- we can see long lines and a deterioration in services we see it in education. government expenditures have shot up, wages have plummeted. >> it is a challenging situation. for the government, the burden is not just about providing services to these refugees.
8:43 pm
lebanon strayed, investment, and tourism factors has severely suffered due to the crisis. >> and is the world bank estimate that lebanon has lost over $2.5 billions only in 2013. and that's why they say it is a host country p stretched to the breaking point. >> the quality can only grow worse, for syrian, and help these children. al jazeera, triply, northern lebanon. >> to washington, d.c., adam may is filling in on america tonight. he is here to tell us what is coming up at the top of the hour. hi, adam. >> good evening coming up tonight, lost and found, has one of the biggest mysteries in religious history finally been solved? well, some say yes. now faithful are
8:44 pm
migrating from every corner of the world to see the, i con for themselves. some say the last supper the holy grail has been found, it's on display at a spanish museum. we are going to go back in time, learn more about the significance of the sacred high con and also talk about others like and it the wonder of religious symbols. what do they add to the concept of faith. that story and also we will continue our coverage of the investigation after fort hood that's coming up at the top of the hour, right here on america tonight. >> congress has allocated more nan eight now visas to afghan interpreters so they can come to the united states. only 2,000 have been granted leaving many of these at risk. >> living outside washington these past few months has been an adjustment. but with the help of his friends he is adapting, still, he says he worried
8:45 pm
about his 200 fellow interpreters still living in afghanistan. >> on the three or four of them admitted to the united states, the rest of them they are still in afghanistan. are they safe. >> no. >> when the afghan military took over the lead from the coalition in the fight, it fires all of the interpreters. anyone who had worked with the coalition was accused of being a spy. the u.s. congress has set aside more than 700 for interpreters and others but today is granted only about 2,000 roughly 25% of the visas available. to make sure he made it safely to the u.s. is, it was a promise he made after he saved his life on the battlefield. but he says there are hundreds like him, still waiting that the united
8:46 pm
states is letting down. you see people were made a solemn promise. they were told if they gave one year, they would be able to come to the united states safely and find refuge away from that danger. well, that's a promise we made them, and it is our duty. >> it says it has a responsibility to make sure that none of them are a threat to the united states. in many cases allyn't cas have simply failed to prove the affiliation has put them in danger. it is a claim that infour rated him. he says he was on a taliban kill list for months. he hit in kabul until he and his family were granted entry. but he says there are thousands like him still in danger of being killed by the taliban. >> they would send parts
8:47 pm

8:50 pm
and it was tracking towards the st. louis area. we will continue to keep our eye on these, because the intensity is bringing in flash flooding on top of this. so here are symptom reports. note, that there are a lot more hail reports across the board, then we have wind. however, the wind is still an issue. we will continue to seize these storms overnight tonight tracking more to the east, and as we get into kentucky and tennessee, you have already had hail and wind reports earlier today, we will see them increase overnight into the morning hours. so the storm system is going to make its way gradually over towards the carolinas and into florida as well. for your day ahead tomorrow.

8:52 pm
a founder of hamilton creek. >> it builds it together, it makes sure your cookie doesn't crumble. it gems together. when it comes to resources egg production is an energy hog. very close to beef, but the ratio is about two to one. that meant the key to building a better ebbing was to find the right plant to replace it. about 200 ties we under to a pea that worked really well as an emulsifier, then we
8:53 pm
started doing it races on taste, and texture, and going into can we make this a viable product. just mayo is the top product they have made available to consumers. >> for testing purposes. >> all right. >> techno joins us from los angeles, okay, phil, we see that she had a taste, what about you, did you try it? >> i did get to try it, i haven't tried the eggs but that just mayonnaise, four different flavors for us to try, every one of them was great, i couldn't tell the difference between that and normal mayonnaise. >> what about the vegetable based scrambling eggs. >> it is, there's still trying to perfect that. it is really tough.
8:54 pm
as they said is the egg does a lot of things so to find something that mimics it, when you scramble it, bake it, really unique protein bind thiagos on when you heat up an egg. they went around the world trying to find that pea that can substitute for the egg in the kitchen. >> what are the benefits of this plant based diet? >> you know, it isn't just about diet. yeah, that will loiter health, sorry lower the fat, andless tor, but also the environmental impact factor is so much lower. there's less fossil fuel, less water, and the whole ethical thing. a lot of people are uncomfortable with the way they are kept in koops. >> i understand it is a start up, and it has some prominent backers. >> absolutely. this company has a great vision, and some very impressive backers. including people like
