the plan to undermine the castro government inspired by twitter. pair of priceless paintings hanging on a kitchen wall. the incredible story of how they ended up there. >> we begin with the fort hood shooting, with a lot of new and important information about the attack, and the soldier that carried it out. >> to that in a moment first, the mourning. flags were lowered to half mast. two men painting crosses for the three soldiers killed, and placing them in front of 16 flags - one for each of the injured victims. the army says the gunman took

his own life. >> let's go to ford hood. >> we know that the shooter, ivan lopez was an army specialist from porto ricco. a list of his medals have been lived. and also what made him snap. more information too about how the violence unfolded. >> fort hood faced a sombre day. three u.s. soldiers killed on home soil, 16 wounded, and according to the army, ivan lopez dead already shooting himself in the head. lopez had a history of mental

instability, and may have been sparked to violence by an argument with another soldier. there may have been a verbal altercation with another soldier or shoulders. two shot were the first to call 911. she was the officer that later confronted lopez after he opened fire. command says there were many acts of heroism until wednesday. >> a chaplain that shielded and saved other soldiers and got them to safety. >> this is not the first time fort hood has shouldered such a tragedy. in 2009, nidal hasan opened fire and 13 were killed. >> we are now getting over the shock of the last shooting over

there. and now it happened again, just shooting just happened. now it's starting all over again. >> what's more, lopez purchased his gun from the same gunshot where nidal hasan bought his weapon in 2009. the shooting doesn't appear to be an act of terrorism, but they condition to search for answers. >> we are learning about the soldiers who died in the shooting. the family of timothy owens confirmed he was among three soldiers who were victim. he was from the up to in illinois, and this is how his uncle remembered him. >> he was a very honourable, you know, individual, and like i say, i don't think he knew strangers. everywhere that he met, i believe, got along with him. you see it happened, but you never know it's going to come to

you. and it just - very disturbing. >> now, some good news, only three soldiers remaineded hospitalized at the hospital. their condition impressed from critical to series. and the governor tomorrow will visit with the survivors. >> thank you heidi zhou-castro. the big question is why did the veteran open fire? we may never know, but we are finding out about a man that officials say stayed under the radar. >> at fort hood lieutenant general milley stepped up to the mike phone and confirmed that ivan lopez had mental problems. >> he had a mental history indicating psychological condition. going through all the records to

enyour that is correct. we believe that to be a fundamental causal factor. >> john mccue, the army secretary said the suspected gunmen served four months in iraq, but didn't see combat or suffer wounds. the psychotherapy was recent. >> he was undergoing a variety of treatment and diagnosis for meptal health ranging from depression to anxiety and was prescribed a number of drugs to address those. >> other military officials say lopez had self-reported a brain injury. lopez started in 2008 as an infantryman and switched to specialty, to truck driver, a job he had in iraq.

lopez arrived two months ago after serving at another military situation. officials said he had no record of disciplinary problems or insubordination. he had a clean record in terms of his behavioural, no outstanding bad marks for major misbehaviours. >> the suspect and his wife were from portio ricco. >> this was an experienced soldier, spending in my opinion years in peorto rico before coming on to duty. >> officials soldiers say they the couple's wife is cooperating. they moved to this complex in texas. a neighbour telling a television station that they seemed normal and nice. >> you never know who you live next door to. >> a little later on in the

broadcast the obama administration is accused of trying to undermine cuba's government by setting up a cuban twitter. we realised how it worked and how far it got before it was exposed. >> to chile. cleaning up after the after shock measuring 7.6. it followed an 8.2 magnitude. we have this report. >> a boat flying through the air. one of dozens of fishing vessels. >> we were 200 metre out on the dock when the earthquake struck, crushing the boat to the peer. i can't work to feed my family, my arms were crushed. >> no one is out fishing. the port was closed. there's no ice to keep the catch fresh. it's been three days since a

mass if earthquake bought the port city to a stand still. patience is wearing thin. this water is only good enough for the toilet, this woman complains. nearby we discover hundreds of merchants that come to the port are now stranded. many penniless. the only road to the border is blocked about landslide. >> i've never had this experience. we don't have earthquakes in bolivia. i want to go home. >> there have been hundreds of aftershocks, one as strong as the earthquakes. residents of this neighbourhood are taking to the hills. >> we are shown the structural damage. the worst had his son's bedroom. >> we are sleeping outside in a tent, afraid the flat will

collapse on top of us. >> thousands of homes are damaged. the government is assess the damage. these blifians are starting to walk to the border, 450km away. >> here in the u.s., two smaller earthquakes struck kovl , one in south-east los angeles, and one in malibu. it's a cluster of earthquakes that we ban with a 5.1 magnitude base. a sizeable earthquake may strike california, when is anyone's guess. >> in los angeles, it seems everyone is talking about the big one. >> i wish people would stop talking about it. they say don't a, you know, because they'll come to you.

>> seismologists say it's not just the stuff the legend. 6.5 to eight. almost certain to rattled the landscape in the next 30 years. >> it could be a deadly magnitude 7.5 along the smaller fault line, like the hills running under the skyline, and a population of 4 million. even that is not the nightmare scenario. >> the nightmare scenario would be a large san andreas rupture. it's going to affect millions of people in southern california. >> a major earthquake erupts along the north or south. the last one in l.a. was 1857, 157 years ago. the last in the north was 1906. >> i always had to be prepared for anything. you never know when it will happen or when it with will

occur. >> scientists don't know when we'll see a cata stroping scenario. predicting quakes has been the seismologists holy grail. >> scientists believe that predicting earthquakes is fundamentally impossible. evaluate the priorities, and here in california, we are sure there'll be one soon. >> the u.s. geological survey is testing a new system. minor quakes rattled the landscape hundreds of times. there were around 200 in the past two weeks alone. make that 201. >> this one happened during the interview. >> earthquake. no. shit. >> this was the early warning system. and so we got about five or six seconds warning. >> that may help in smaller

quakes, but if the big one hits l.a., a few minutes by me lopping enough. >> up next - bearing witness, the syrian refugee crisis in lebanon hits a milestone. plus, the plaintiff, the supreme court ruling on campaign contributions. we talk to the man that won the landmark

>> tonight, the scope of syria's civil war. there are more than a million refugees in lebanon. the united nations is calling it a devastating milestone. 2,000 fled in twib. in 2012 many more crossed the border. by the latest count there's more than a million syrian refugees. the massive in flux is having a strain on the government, forcing official to make tough decisions. >> this is the 1 millionth syrian refugee in lebanon. he came from homs.

most of the refugees are here to register to receive aid. others are here to appeal the decision and cut them off. >> six months ago a u.n. coldier told her that others had priority. >> translation: we are trying to appeal the verdict. >> it's a painful decision, it's an unfortunate say u.n. lebanon and the agencies don't have enough resources to help the refugees here. financial and other resources are completed. 2500 syrians cross the border into lebanon, looking for shelter, food and health services. the lebanese government say they have less than a quarter of the money needed to provide for all the coming ends. >> the lebanese government is appealing for donations.

they are a burden on the demographics, water, energy, electricity, air, security, education and health services. we are burden the in every way. it's a serious threat to lebanon. >> in some communities there's more syrian refugees than lebanese, and we don't have enough to help them. we don't have enough help at the health centres. we see it in education. government expenditures have shot up. it's a changing situation. >> for the lebanese government the burden is not just about providing service, the trade invest and tourism sectors suffered due to the crisis in syria. the world bank estimates they have lost 2.5 million. that's why the u.n. officials

stay they are a host country at the brink. >> syrian children outnumber lebanon students and with schools overcrowded the quality of education can only grow worse for syrian and lebanese children. >> secretary of state john kerry says this is a critical moment for minding peace in the middle east. israel cancelled the fourth release of palestinian prisoners, and the u.s.-led middle east peace talks are in danger, blaming each other for violating an agreement to keep the progress to the end of the month. nick schifrin reports. >> for 24 7 days made middle east peace his top priority. john kerry met 39 times the plip officials, 40 times the israeli officials. press conference after press conference after press conference. but thursday, alone and

separated from both sides by 1500 miles, kerry made a last-minute plea to keep talking. >> the leaders have to lead and see a moment when it's there. there's an old saying that you can lead a horse to water. now is the time to drink. neither side is thirsty. first, after releasing prisoners, the israelis refused to release a fourth, even though they promised. >> mahmoud abbas signed 15 international agreements, even though he promised not to. and the decision by israelis to delay the release of the fourth tranche of prisoners creates challenges. the question is whether they are insurmountable. >> i think the president and

secretary of state john kerry need to be involved and engaged in the process by prodding both sides to avoid yupy lateral moves and take the steps needed and make compromises and demonstrate the flexibility that neither side has been able to do. >> neither side has walked away yet. kerry and his aids will work to keep both sideses talking. >> we'll continue no matter what, to try to facilitate the capacity of people to be able to make peace. >> so far the pressure failed. on wednesday night they hofed a trilateral meeting for five hours. it was contentious and sold nothing. a senior posed to me this question. does the u.s. want peace more that israelis and palestinians want it. the answer is whether these peace talks survive or die.

>> oil giant exxonmobile is promising trance appearancy about the environmental impact of fracking. it is highly controversial with some calling for a ban. at the bottom of the hour n indepth look at the science of fracking and a film interview with josh fox nominated for an academy award for his documentary on fracking. >> the c.i.a. lost a battle for keeping its internal review of secret. part of it was voted to be made public. president obama will ultimately decide which details are released. >> so far, from what we have period from the senate intelligence committee, and the fight over it, to the press about what's in the report, the gift of what we know is the c ia

torture program was more brutal than we knew about and ib effect difficult about getting useful information, and not only that the c.i.a. consistently and wilfully misled everyone about how effective the door tur program was, lieded about the effectiveness. we hope to find out more detail when the summary, findings and conclusions are released from a 6,300 page report. who will be in charge of overseeing the release of this report to the public. if it's the white house, we will know the truth of the torture program. if the white house ceeds control of redacting the document to the ci axe, a report about its open misconduct with which it has had trouble with, doesn't accept the findings, there may be trouble and it's subled that the white

house -- suggested that the whus is not that interested in trabs appearancy. there's a precedent being set on executive presidential privilege. people being tortured not through an act of congress, but presidential power. >> if president obama is transparent about president bush's use of the power, then what about obama's use of the power. he may not be kidnapping and torturing, but he may be using it to kill people around the world. it's been suggested that the c.i.a. is dragging its feet, and that the white house has not cooperated with the release. it's back to whether the agencies and the chows want the report to be released. the chairman of the senate intelligence committee hopes the report will be released been 30 cause. the pros is expected to take

some months. >> a major restriction on independent campaign spending is gone. the supreme court's decision means that wealthy donors can spread their money to as many candidates as they want. there's a cap on how much they can give to one candidate. the rolling comes as the campaign season kicks up. the landmark case is mckuch jp v the federal election commission. good evening, sir, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. glad to be here. >> what were your campaign contributions looking like. how much will you give? >> well, they'll look good. i'll give more than usual. >> give us a sense of how this compares to the last election cycle for you? >> well, you know, as far as directly to canada, it was

limited to around 45 thoz but i plan -- 45,000, but i plan to do more to candidates. the parties i have maxed out on the basis of the republican national committee, and the state packs i have maxed out to the ban g.o.p. -- alabama g.o.p. i plan to support others under the freedom of speech. >> you were about to say hundreds of... >> thousands, hundreds of thousands. >> freedom of speech, that's what your attorneys argued and five out of four justices agreed. does that give free speech to an elite group of americans? are you concerned about others being left out? >> this is about free speech, the dissemination of better and good ideas, the political

marketplace. it was a core american freedom in a free country, it's very important that everywhere be knilted to free speech. it's a fundamental part of the process. i'm excited and again it's about individuals outside the government gownating directly to campaigns, packs and parties. it's about people outside the government donating to campaigns to form the government. >> have you been surprised by the outcry by some individuals saying "i'm not rich, i can't give as much money as a shaun mccutchen can. what is your response? >> this is about free ideas in the marketplace. they can vote. everywhere has equal freedom of speech. it so happens that most of this is for media, radio, mail.

these are the ways that inside are pout out there. it costs money to do that. you have to spend money to emphasise free speech. it's about ideas that everywhere can hear and it's transparent donations to campaigns, knacks and political parts. it's an important part of the process. rich americans are entitled to free peach. it's very important. >> let's talk about fre speech. justice brier had this in his writing, he said: >> what do you thing is this. >> this was a case about aggregate limits or the over all limits amounting to the number of candidates, packs and commit ooes. it's about your right to support as mean candidates and parties

and committees as you choose. base element are in place, and the amount of money donated to a candidate is limited. it's about the numbers and, again, it's about private individual people outside the government being able to donate to more cam pawns and candidates. another thing that has not been mentioned is a lot of candidates may not win. it's about supporting challengesers, and get more ideas into the political marketplace. >> justice clarence thomas wrote that he would go further that the majority opinion and would like to see contributions lowered overall. what is the thought on that. that there should be limits in place, that you talked about 2600 as how much a donor should give to one candidate. what do you think about that.

>> i think the base limit is low, you can't do many ads with 2600. i understand the arguments that clarence thomas is making and i am sure the base limits will be challenged in the court system. >> will you challenge it? >> it will not be me. i'm spring court cases. i'm done. it's been a lot of fun. i am sure someone will challenge them. >> shaun mccues can, his case before the supreme court and he was victorious yesterday in the decision happened down. thank you for talking to us. >> next - character attack. did washington set up a twitter style social network to undermine cuba's government. we'll have the surprising report from cuba. >> picture this - master works of art found hanging in a kitch n, wait until you hear how they ended up

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm libby casey. we have a lot to cover in this half hour. >> life and death - the new device that could save as many

as 1,000 people that die from heroin overdoses. >> fracking 101 - how it extracts oil and gas from the ground and why others want to see it stopped. we talk to the director of oscar-nominated "gas land." >> and players that say they make less money than fast-food makers - they are going to court. >> 35-year-old ivan lopes was an iraq war veteran. three killed, 16 injured before he took his life. >> the number of syrian refugees in lebanon reached a million. the u.n. called it a devastating milestone. last year the number was a third of what it is today. lebanon has become the country with the highest per cap tea

amount of refugees. >> israel says it is cancelling a planned release of palestine prisoners. secretary of state john kerry says parties met late into the night and discussions are continuing. he's calling on both sides to show leadership and find a way to compromise for peace. >> the obama administration is downplaying an associated press investigation into a cuban 2002er. the ap says they secretly offensed a social network aimed at undermining the cast ra government. >> it's no secret that young cubans grave access to social media. a report claims us wanted to exploit that setting up a service similar to twitter. according to the associated press it was down through a complicated systems of front companies, set up abroad to hide

it from cuban authorities. nothing sinister. >> this was an effort, one of a variedie of efforts that the united states engages in as part of its development to promote the flow of free information, to promote engagement by citizens in countries that are nonpermissive. >> the idea is to build up a strong customer base using non-coefial material, before launching provocative messages. the first test in cabbana in the peace conference. >> cuban users were unaware that the scheme was founded by the u.s. represented in havana by the interest section. >> the cubans would say there's nothing new in u.s. efforts to undermine the government. the scope of these revelations goes behind what we have seen in recent years. the pressure on the u.s.

presence here has suddenly grown dramatically. >> the noise a humming bird manning - that's the name - was set up for a tightly controlled communication system. >> it's one more example of what has been going on for 50 years. the u.s. was so obsessed with cuba. they cannot stop overthrowing it and breathing when it calls it democracy. >> it was difficult to find partners as the service grew. the funding of the scheme, paying millions to the authorities it was allegedly trying to undermine was unsustainable. by the middle of 2012, it had disappeared. the political damage caused will linger for a while longer.

>> the f.d.a. approved a device that could save victims of some drug overdoses. it's an automatic injector containing an and dote for opioids. including vicodin and oxy cottin and heroin. it allows doctors to prescribe the anecdote defamily members. new york police will carry it to treat overdose victims on the scene. >> dr omar joins us from charlotte north carolina. he is a psychiatrist who specialises in addiction medicine. how could this decision impact the number of overdoses? >> overdoses are epidemic. we had 16,000 overdoses per year, and that's more than the

combined total for cocaine and heroin. now we have more people dying from overdosing on the pills than a motor vehicle accident. this is an epidemic. it's an american epidemic because ooep though the united states is 5% of the world's population approximately, we consume 80% of the global opiates. this is a staggering epidemic. the latest move from the f.d.a. represents a tool that will save lives. >> doctor, is there a concern that this could lead to people getting casual with their use of drugs, if they feel there is a safety net in place that they may not be worried about the consequences? >> you know, it's sad to hear folks making the argument. it's groundless, there's no basis in science. in fact, it's the contrary, this

medicine has been around since the early '70s. i, miz, when i was a medical student used it when it was available to doctors. at this time i had it in my lab coat pocket and saved my best friend's life with it, 20 years ago. there's no evidence that increasing access to this causes use to be more casual. any more than we tell people not to have epipen if they have beeal ergeies, because -- alermgies because they'd be running into beehives. figures are shocking and horifying. 3,000 children under five per year are exposed to these opiates through poisonings, getting it from the parent's medicine cabinets. this is not just people with addiction, these can be folks

prescribed medications. doses may be adjusted between the opiate pain pill and another medication. there's all sorts of reasons why people who don't have addiction might overdose, and there's the problem of addiction itself. taken together, it's a major epidemic. we do something about motor vehicling deaths. when it comes to addiction, there's the stigma and shame forcing people to push back. i hard about legislatures and others pushing against it. it's a terrible mistake. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> now, on to the story of a legal challenge to major league baseball and the plaintiffs minor leaguers. the big leaguers earn millions, minor leaguers don't earn minimum wage. >> here is an example of how it

happened. does not party if you are the first or last pick in the draft. they sign the same contract. signing bonuses different. it's how things differ. essentially why minor league players are starting to take action. >> for american men drafted by a major league baseball is a childhood dream come true. long work and hard hours plays off when they are selected and sign a contract. the reality sets in when they look into the details of the contact. >> they have no choice but to soup the contract if they want to get into the industry of baseball, major league baseball, acting as a cartel have set sal lis at $11-00 per month. >> this attorney knows all too well about the low wages.

he played six sooches in the minors -- seasons in the minors after being drafted. after giving up a hard-ball dream he went to law school. his financial struggle in the minors struck with him. most playerserb less than $7500 a year, a number that led him to file a lawsuit against major league baseball, the commissioner, and 17 teams, claiming that they are violating labour laws by paying minor leaguers less than the federal minimum wage. >> provisions deal with the wages are illegal from the stand point that they don't comply are federal and state wage per hour laws. >> the lawsuit claims that sips '76 major league baseball salaries have rich 2,000% and minor league salaries only 75%. >> inflation has risen by more

than 400% in the same period. >> the result: players earn less today than in 1976. >> we are asking that major league baseball, and the owners comply with the same wage per hour laws that wall marts and mcdonald's is complying with. we are not asking that they make 55,000. >> while many make the trek south, those in the minor league are expected to make the trip and play for free. despite playing in frost paying customers, the minor leaguers are not paid for their services. >> the contract specifies that the players are under a duty to perform services throughout the year, but no salary will be provided except for the 5-month season. >> players are trying to get

into a class action suit involving thousands of players. those that can join are limited to labour laws, six years in some, three in others. it will be an ongoing battle. thousands of cases and millions of dollars. >> thank you jessica taff. >> exxon is giving in to pressure and disclosing more information about the environmental deaningers of -- dangers of fracking. it's a response to pressures from new york city. the pension funds control $1 billion worth of exxon stock. in a statement scott stringer said: >> we'll interview josh fox, emmy award winning director. first, how does the tracking

process work - what are the benefits and consequences. we turn to jacob ward, science and technology correspondent, in san francisco. >> there's a fair amount of controversy around the use of fracking. we should define what it is. fracking is used in places where a company wants to pull oil or natural gas out of the earth, but where it is trapped inside a lair of either or rock, too pressurised to pull it out easily or cheaply using conventional methods. fracking involves drilling through the groundwater, a mile or three miles below the surface, and then the well becomes"al. cracks are broken in the rock with a perfor aiding gun. water, sand and chemicals is pump d at high pressure, the

water is bumped. the area around the well is forced to become porous and ready to give up gas or oil. it comes out, the oil or bass follows after it until the horizontal pup has a steady supply of oil and gas. critics cite problems. fracking takes a lot of water, an incredible amount, one to 5 million gallons, in fact, even 8 million over the life of the well. even though the pretties uses a small amount of chemicals, less than 1%, they involve known carr sinno gones. a fracking operation should be sealed off from other ak which fors. the earth has an unstable place. testing for the chemicals is limited. we don't know the chemicals to test for. the force of fracking can

trigger seismic ept, and perhaps bigger earthquakes. a fracking operation began in ohio, at a town, joupingsound -- youngsound experienced 109 small earthquakes, which it never had in its history. one was as big as 3.9. it's that possible seismic fracking connection that has experts worried. >> jacob ward, thank you. >> joining us is 'emmy award-winning female john fox and his film g gas land i" and "gas land i i" looks at fracking. is it a good move for exxonmobile. >> they are the number one fracker. they are committed to pursuing this massive and ex-tensive drilling campaign.

right now 15 million minister live within a mile of a frack well. we have tracking and drilling going on in 34 states, more land released by the oil and gas industry than the land mass of florida. they plan to drill 2 million new wells. i don't know what are the parameters of the agreement. no one knows, it hasn't been disclosed. it's out of step with what people want. what they want is a total ban on fracking. and that's been an incredible movement that i have been watching take place over the last six years in new york and peninsula, and wyoming and texas, all over the country and the world in response to this invasive toxic pros. >> the movement came from shareholders, but also a group that banded together and asked did it help to come from within. outside pressure, but the inside

internal pressure, >> what i am seeing in the field is devastation of people. water being contaminated, air populated. the fabric of their lives ripped apart. the community being overrun. no amount of regulation makes the process safe. there's no way to do that. oil and gas featured in part two shows that they know the wells crack and failed. every single one of the wells, they are proposing 2 million of them, drills through potentially if there's an aquifer. what that means is you have to case the well in comment. the industry's own documents showed us that the documents have been leaked. they are going to it's int grate and fail.

we are see a disintegration of democracy and regulatory affects. all the oil and gas spend enormous amounts of money to influence democracy. >> you are saying it can't happen at any cost with no adjustment or change. does that hurt your argument. >> we have to stop burning fossil fuels. what fracking is, to drill over the world means, is a whole new regime, a paradigm shift in nj development. we have another 20, 50 years of fossil fuels if they go down the road. >> what do you say to a family in peninsula that will get money by this. >> i'm one of those families, it starts for me as a person who drills. what about families that want to

see it. >> it was found out that the number two gas producer in the world, in the united states was actually not paying the lapped owners their fair share of the royalties. the companies are not - they are being deceitful. they say "this is a safe practice," or "we'll expose the chemicals", from a client perspective we have to leave the fuels in the ground. there's no way to make the process safe. i invite people to look at the timms and they are ooesly available. >> thank you for yore efforts. >> we are working on a new film project and launch k the solutions project showing that we don't need fossil fuels and that's at solution.org, it maps out how renewable energy can fulfil all needs for all

purposes, based on current technology. when you tack about the shift, do we want to go down the toxic road of the past, where we see huge evidence of contamination, or do we want to work with the energy sources of the 21st century, people can find out more about that. >> coming up, our picture of the day. plus, artists in chief. long before george w. bush began painting other presidents worked with anneesel and brush. we'll she them to you.

>> another change coming to late night dv. david letterman announcing that he's retires after more than 20 years at c.b.s. >> we don't have the timing. it will be a year or so, but some time in the not too distant future, 2015 for the love of god, in fact, paul and i will be

wrapping things up and taking a hike. (clapping) >> thank you, thanks everybody. >> in february jimmy fallon replaced jay leno as host of the "the tonight show." no ward on a replacement for letterman. >> two paintings worth millions have been recovered by police in italy. they were stolen from a house in london 40 years ago. then bought at a lose property auction for $30. >> after four decades happening on a kitchen wall, the masterpieces are on show, getting attention. they were snatched from a london home in 1970, abandoned on a train. >> after they were found, having no idea of their value, they were put up to auction and brought by a working man who was

an art lover. the owner hung the paintings in a kitchen. >> that's where they stayed until the man's son wanted to know more been then. his dad was sitting on a goldmine. this is a bees by gogacan. and this benoit.. >> the value of the painting starts approximately at $13 million, and could reach more than $40 million ux. >> such a find for italian police, that cultural minister was showing them off. italy's taken a lead role in the fight against art smuggling, and there's a unit set up to investigate stolen up and solve the mysteries of missing treasures like these. >> behind me are works of art created by former u.s. president george w. bush. tomorrow he will reveal a collection of his paintings of world leaders and icons.

president bush is not the only presidential artist. this flower painting was done by dwight icen hour and this land quay by president you lisize grant and president carter picked up a brush now and then. >> now to the picture. day - it's from japan, a sand sculpture of st. basil cathedral and the pope. this theme was russia, marking the 2014 winter olympics. today's headlines in a moment.

>> welcome to al jazeera america. i'm libby casey. here are this hour's stories. the army identified the man that opened fire at fort hood. 34-year-old ivan lopez was an

iraq war veteran with a history of mental health issues. no word on motive. the army says lopez argued with another solder before the attack. >> in the hunt for flight mh370. officials say they are conducting searches for the black box. this is the first time they are going underwater to look for it. they have two ships trying to bin point the black box. the u.n. marks a mile stop as syrian refugees reaches a million. half are children. lebanon has the highest per cap tea. they act for a quarter of the population. >> this is a critical moment for peace in the middle east. despite months of talks the israelis and the plints seem to -- palestinians seem to be moving apart. >> secretary of state john kerry is calling on both sides to show leadership and find a way to

compromise. the obama administration is downmaying an associated press investigation into a kooubon twitter. the usaid secretly financed the network. >> those are the headlines. "america tonight" with adam may sup next. we don't have the facts. we will get the facts. >> also tonight, serving life without a trial. rapists and child moless tors sent to a place that looks like prison, but it is not. inside the controversy of commitment centers.
