roller coaster, and we are exhausted mentally. >> reporter: as the days turned into weeks, this hotel has become home for many relatives like this woman who's grand parents were on the flight. >> translator: we reached the consensus that we can only wait quietly for definite news. >> reporter: several hundred of the relatives are still here. in the absence of any confirmation of what happened, for all of them the awful question must arise just when and how to move on. with a business to run, she has decided to go home. >> translator: we have to face the reality that we need to make a living and go back to work. we have to accept that. >> reporter: as a prominent

provocate provocateurs, and the troops that president obama has talked about repeatedly massed on the ukrainian boarder, could come spilling over and it would be crimea all over again. jay carney said that these instigators were not local, there is evidence they had been paid, and jen reported on that call between john kerry and sergei lavrov, and here is how she described the conversation. >> he noted that ukrainian government leaders are en route to all of these cities to try to negotiate evacuation of government buildings and deescalation of public tensions. he called on russia to disavow the acts of provocateurs and called on all parties to refrain from agitation in ukraine. >> top officials from vladimir

shootings and the non-accountability and non-transparency. the only thing that is going to change is a doj takeover. >> the doj that he referss to is the department of justice. that agency right now investigating the albuquerque police department. we will hear some of their recommendations possibly tonight. but again, with 100 people set to speak here tonight, this meeting could go for a long time into the evening. >> john, what about security? is there increased security at that meeting? >> yes, some of the demonstrations, john, have been very violent. there were rocks thrown at police about a week ago, police have put together special tactical plan for security here tonight. they are not talking about that, but we have at least ten or 15 officers here in the building and officers outside as well.

northeast florida. the flooding is the primary concern here because the sheer amount of moisture and rainfall coming down from these tomorrow storms. in alabama we have had reports of anywhere to three to four inches of rain in some parts of alabama, reporting up to serve to eight inches that have come down. we have a lot of flooding going on, and it is not just flash flooding. it has been river flooding. we have a number of rivers flooding out of their banks, moderate stage across mississippi and alabama. we're going to continue to see this rainfall stretching up into the carolinas. then we'll gradually see it track offshore. the severity of storms is slowly diminishing, but we'll have the risk of some storms returning tomorrow just where we don't

need it, and that would be mississippi and alabama. this was a powerful storm system, and it will be nice to get to quieter weather by the middle of this week, john. >> thanks very much. general motors is starting repairs on the more than 2.3 million recalled cars today. fixing the faulty ignition switches. gm says it expects to complete the repairs by october. and ford has issued a large recall, nearly 435,000 vehicles will need repair. most of the recall covers ford escapes from the 2001 through 2004 models. ford says there have been at least one related crash but no injuries related to the problems. coming up next, 20 years later, rwanda holds solemn ceremonies

today to remember the hundreds of thousands of lives lost. plus assassinated, a popular police was gunned down in the syrian city. and 100 days behind bars in egypt, journal list from around the world call for the release of our al jazeera colleagues.

more than 800,000 people were killed over 100 days. today marks the 20th anniversary of the rwanda genocide. richelle? >> a somber memorial service offered a chance for people to reflect. and the current president of rwanda has accused one european nation of having a direct role in the genocide. thousands of people packed the main sports stadium to remember those who died in the genocide 20 years ago. they reenacted the slaughter and then lie lifeless on the ground. the event brought many to tears. some even had to be carried out, the pain still too much to handle two decades later.

the mass murder started on april 7th, 1994. one day after the president's plane was shot down. attacks were aimed at the minority tutsi population. much of the world watched the horror as it unfolded. ban ki-moon today said not enough was done. >> we could have done much more. we should have done much more. [ applause ] >> the current president was a rebel leader in 1994 who lead the army to stop the genocide. >> the people who planned and carried out the genocide were rwandans, but the history and root causes go beyond this beautiful country. >> reporter: he recently told a french magazine france and

belgium has direct roles in the political preparation of the genocide and even called french soldiers actors in the blood bath. but the political finger pointing is eclipsed by the pain of a nation. for some survivors the healing process means facing their attackers in person. like these 'em brasz, the man who cut off her hand, and sliced her face and body with a ma chetty and left her for death. >> translator: i went down on my knees and begged for forgiveness. >> just knowing who did this gave me what i needed forgiving him kept me safe. >> reporter: he served eight years in prison for killing ten people in the genocide. tutsis and hutus are being put together to try to build trust. for those who cannot forgive, the focus is on making sure the

rest of the world never forgets what happened in rwanda and making sure violence like this never happens anywhere else in the world. the state department releases a statement saying this . . . and after the rwandan president accused france of taking part in the genocide, the french foreign minister boycotted the event and rwanda responded by banning him from the ceremonies. >> jacqueline joins us now. she was just nine years old when the genocide claimed the lives of her immediate family. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> i think you were able to listen to that piece and hear the woman who forgave her attacker. can you do that? >> i think forgiveness is a

complicated tactic for survivors and i think survivors have approached it differently. for some it means going to the family and saying i forgive you. for others it means moving on with our lives without feeling hatred and revenge. that's what forgiveness means to me personally. >> can you talk about what happened to your family and how many people were killed? >> yes, so my family at the end of the genocide i learned that -- although i had survived my parents my six sibling, my grandmother, most of my aunts, uncles, and cousins had been among the people who were

murdered. in regards to my immediate family i learned they had been taken by my hutu neighbors the same people i grew up with and played with and gone to church with. they took my family to a nearby river where they proceeded to butcher them and through their bodies in the river. >> what were your most vivid memories at that time? >> even 20 years after the genocide, many of the memories are still very vivid, i remember being -- you know, as a child looking out and seeing men and women and children being dragged from their home to be killed. i remember listening and seeing children who's arms and legs had been cut off and seeing children and hear children cry for -- for their mothers, for parents who they would never see again. and i just remember at the time because of my age i couldn't understand what i was happening.

i didn't understand why i was being forced from my home, why i was exposed to such horrors and why my life was being threatened every day simply because i was born in this ethnic group, something that i didn't have a choice in. even at that age, i had the sense of the injustice that was taking place. >> how did you survive? >> when the genocide began i was in my maternal grandparent's village and i ran away with my grandmother. so early on i was separated from my parents and siblings. and there were roadblocks all over rwanda, and i ran away with my grandmother initially to a county office, where we were tacked and barely escaped death. and then we found a family where we hid and then again were discovered and nearly died.

and then my grandmother managed to place me in an orphanage that was run by italian priests. so it was in that orphanage that i survived. >> how else did you cope with the horrors that you saw and experienced? >> you know, i think that the heals process is an ongoing one. i -- i always tell people you can't get over the genocide experience. it's something you have to cope with. it's something that you live with, because every day -- you never forget every day that you don't have your parents, siblings and grandparents, so it's something you learn to cope with. in my own personal case i am lucky that i have had a good support system of friends who have become like family members. as soon as i left rwanda and

came to this country, i received a lot of support. now this is not true for survivors many of the survivors who live in rwanda who have to see the people that kill their families every day. for them the healing is going to take even longer. >> we're glad you are doing well, and thank you for sharing your story with us. >> thank you for having me. >> coming up next, gunned down in syria, a priest refused to leave the war-attorney city of pays with his life. plus one potential presidential candidate takes a different approach to immigration. and best buddies how they are learning to overcome autism.

ukraine, prorussia protesters took over buildings in three cities, and declared the city of donetsk on independent republic. u.s. secretary of state john kerry spoke with his russian counterpart. protesters have gathered in albuquerque tonight at a townhall meeting to support and criticize the police department. police are under scrutiny after officers shot and killed a man last month. this is really become a huge issue in albuquerque. since 2010 police have shot almost 40 people and 23 of them died. these protests could really be a turning point, john. >> we'll have more on that tonight. thank you. three al jazeera journalists have now been in prison for 100 days. al jazeera rejects the charges. today there were calls for their

release from around the world. john terrett reports. >> this has never been a fight just about al jazeera. this is a fight about all of us, because if the authorities in egypt get away with picking off al jazeera, then tomorrow they will come for abc, and the day after for the bbc. >> reporter: john williams speaking following a symposium in new york. thousands of miles away in london, colleagues at bbc tv news expressed their solidarity, wearing black tape and care rig journalism is not terrorism banners. and this is what brings reporters of rival networks together. peter greste, and producers, mohammed fahmy and baher mohamed on trial in egypt accused of spreading false news and having

linked to the muslim brotherhood. al jazeera says the charges are absurd they were just doing their jobs. the egyptian government is seeking to brand al jazeera apart from other journalists. >> there should be no distinction, if you are working with a news organization, you deserve the protection of all of the journalists around the world. >> reporter: and the deplorable conditions was described. >> at times they were held in cells with no access to light, little food and water. this winter they have slept on concrete floors without blankets or pillows. >> reporter: acknowledging that any one of the journalists on stage could find themselves in

the same situation the speaker sa says all must speak up. >> they need to put pressure on their governments to get more directly involved. canada's prime minister has said nothing. >> reporter: the trial resumes on thursday in cairo. meanwhile a fourth al jazeera journalist, this producer is on hunger strike jailed with no charges since last august. john terrett, al jazeera, new york. al jazeera's andrew thomas spoke to peter greste's parents who hope their son will be released soon. >> when you first heard peter has been arrested did you imagine he would still be detained 100 days later? >> absolutely not. i didn't know how long it would take, but i didn't expect it to be -- probably just a couple of

days at the most. >> well, clearly our initial response was, well, mistakes do happen. this is clearly a mistake. it's all going to be over in a few days. never ever did we imagine that we would be marking the 100th day. >> how are you coping? >> i would like to think that i'm coping well, but there have been many occasions when i think that i have just about reached the end of my tether. i don't know what happens to people once they get over that edge, but i feel that i'm not very far from whatever it means cracking. but, you know, we're not far from that point. >> we're getting exhausted, and tired, and we feel as if we're running on empty all the time now. >> are you hopeful? >> hopeful it will be finished on thursday, yes. um -- but that's the heart

saying, and the head is -- is being a little bit more cautious. >> big hopes andrew, very modest expectations. >> have you been surprised by all of the attention? >> absolutely. that has been amazing, and -- and wonderful, and we just are so grateful to everyone out there for that -- for the support that we have had in all of these directions. >> and my message to the people of egypt would be that however hard it has been for peter and us i most sincerely hope that peter is the very last of his kind to find himself in the prison circumstances -- present circumstances. i -- i trust that there are no more journalists that find themselves in these kinds of

difficulties in the course of doing their job at the best of their ability. >> that's peter greste's parents speaking to andrew thomas. joining us now is the u.s. director of the nonprofit organization, reporters without borders, she joins us from washington, d.c. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> clearly this is not only taking a toll on al jazeera's journalists but their families as well. is the egyptian government feeling any pressure at this point? >> they certainly do, because there's a huge international pressure coming from the governments and the press world, so i really hope that there will be a happy ending on thursday. >> we had bob simon of "60 minutes" on the program recently, and he said if the president of the united states would pick up the telephone and

call the leaders in egypt, it would put more pressure and it could help. any idea whether that might have happened or would happen in the future? >> any pressure from governments who are allies are always helpful. i hope the state department and the obama administration as well as the [ inaudible ] government worked very hard on the record, but they should also speak up on the record, because that makes also huge difference. but i want to highlight one thing that is very interesting, which is this persecution against journalists in egypt have continued even if egypt adopts a constitution, and this bans sensorship, so maybe the egyptian authorities should maybe just respect their

constitution, and that would be maybe a good first step. >> can you give us a sense of what is going on here? there have been delay after delay after delay. what is happening? >> first you have to understand the whole context. egypt is in the 159th position on your last press index, which means, the global situation is really hard. we have an increase in persecution, and many, many journalists are now arbitrarily in jail. there are at least 20 journalists in egypt in jail on [ inaudible ] charges. and we continue to call for their unconditionable release. >> i'm just trying to understand the reason for the delays,

though? why would the government continue to delay this process? do they hope that everyone just forgets about these guys; is that it? >> it's a pretty systemic method that we observe in these countries. they hope by delaying and again and again trials maybe there will be less international pressure, but i'm glad to see that is not the case. >> thank you very much for joining us tonight. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> at least 9 million people have been forced from their homes by syria's civil war, but some refuse to leave even the most violent areas. one of those but a dutch priest who was killed today in the town of homs. shot by a maxed gunman. >> reporter: for centuries this church was a sanctuary.

hungry. francis was the only westerner left in homs. he showed us what was left of his dwindling food supply, olives, a little tea, and an empty jar once filled with wheat. he was a proud man. i wish those people who's lives are at risk don't die as a result of all of this want. i wish they would create a bridge to transport everything we need. francis died trying to build that bridge. he and most of the old city of homs lost their sanctuary. nick schifrin, al jazeera. tonight new information behind last week's deadly shooting in fort hood, texas. the shooting has an argument just before the shooting. three people died, 16 were

was george w. bush. republicans have long considered jeb the more articulate and moderate of the bush brothers and see him as a more middle of the road candidate than rand paul and a more viable candidate that scandal plagued new jersey governor chris christie. >> not running has generated more interest than if i said i was running. i'm not that smart i promise you. >> reporter: but he appears to understand that someone needs to heel the fractious g.o.p. to recapture the white house. >> we need candidates that have a vision that is bigger and broader, and candidates that are organized around winning the election, but not -- not making a point. winning the election should be what we're about. >> reporter: when term limited moved bush out of the flori florida -- governor's office in

2007 he joined a company representing hospitals and physicians. but the former governor has stayed involved in national discussions and conferences about education, and repeatedly taken a strong stand on immigration, sup poerth comprehensive reform and speaking compassionately about illegal immigrants. >> when they crossed the border because they had no other means to work, yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. it's -- it's -- it's an act of love. it's an act of commitment to your family. >> reporter: in that interview, bush described the state of politic right now as crazy, and said one factor in his decision will be if he feels he can run without getting drawn in on a mud fight. still for better or worse the
