but here a home it's a tale that shouldn't cause to you lose sleep or even feel the need to keep the lies on. that's our show for today, i am jen rodgers in for ali velshi, thanks for joining us. >> this is al jazeera america. i'm david schuster in new york. john siegenthaler has the night off. school shooting, a student opens fire at a washington state high school. what we're learning about the shooter and the victims. ebola crisis, more quarantines in the united states as the deadly disease spreads to a sixth country in africa. new allegations the group used chlorine gas in iraq and could have more chemical weapons in its arsenal. 300 days later we hear from the families of our al jazeera

colleagues held behind bars in egypt just for doing their jobs. and restoring a picture palace to glory. today's friday arts. we begin tonight with a search for answers in another school shooting. it happened this afternoon in washington state. police say a freshman opened fire in front of the marysville pillchuck high school. allen schauffler is live. what do we know about the victims? >> they are being treated at two local hospitals. a student shot in the jaw is in the hospital, they say his injuries are serious but we understand he should be okay. the other 30 are in critical condition -- the other three are

in critical condition, in fact very critical condition, two young women one young man all of them with gunshot wounds to the head. this happened they cafeteria at marysville pillchuck high. when a young man by the name of jaylen fryberg pulled out a gun and started shooting. the room cleared, someone hit a fire alarm. someone called 911 there was a massive police response and that campus immediately went on lock down. police went room to room, were able to check out and evacuate all the students, more than 2,000 of them, get them to a nearby location where they could check back up with their parents. four people hit including the shooter, a traumatizing day, joann roberts who is the chief

medical officer at one of the hospitals where some of the victims are being treated. >> this is something we dreaded, our community is going to mourn this for years. we drilled for it. we were prepared for it today. this is the largest emergency department in the state. and as tragic as this has been, i think our staff and our medical staff have really pulled together as a team. i will tell you we will all go home tonight and cry. >> again, four being treated right now. two dead. and we understand that marysville pillchuck high is going to be closed all next week. that information just coming out. david. >> any other information investigators are gleaning from the suspects at which timer feed or social media the last couple of months of his life? >> this appears to be a very popular young man. students who knew him describing him today as both popular and

positive. really considerable following on social media. he is shown with some of his kills, a rifle from his birthday so clearly, somebody knew his way around firearms. he was a member of the homecoming court, a member of the local tulalip indian tribe, very active in tribal affairs. you see classically teenage issues, angst and anger about a girlfriend, some lark out at people close to him and his very last tweet which was sent out yesterday, which said, simply, it won't last, it just won't last, a complicated man, something police will be finding

out, a young man police will be finding out a lot more about in the days to come. >> allen schauffler reporting live from seattle, thank you for the update. in the ebola crisis the west africa country of mali, a two-year-old with the virus died. nearly 10,000 people this west africa have contracted ebola. here in new york city, one day after a doctor in manhattan was diagnosed with athe virus new york and new jersey governors announced a 21 day mandatory quarantine for travelers and doctors who had contact with ebola victims abroad. officials say congress there are strong protocols involved for military officers inning west africa. the military says they follow guidelines that are stricter than guidelines from the cdc. the first person to catch ebola on u.s. soil has been declared

virus-free. nina pham one of the dallas nurses who treated the liberian man, went home today. before she went home she made a stop at the white house. senior correspondent mike viqueria is there. mike. >> symbolism in washington in the fight against ebola. welcome good news. more and more people on capitol hill, members from both parties are calling for yet tighter restrictions in the wake of the latest case in new york. it is a picture with an unmistakable message. if the president of the united states can now hug nina pham, there is little reason for fear of a widespread outbreak among the american public. pham's presidential imrea embrae hours after she was released from the national institutes of

health. >> i feel fortunate and blessed to be standing here today. i am on my way back to recovery, even as i reflect on how many others have not been so fortunate. >> reporter: health officials repeated what has been a mantra. risk to the public is remote compared to the risk to medical workers. like nina. >> because of her bravery and that of her colleagues in the field she happened to unfortunately get infected. >> step up in measures because of the first reported case in new york. >> you can get sweat secretion can be infected with ebola correct? >> yes. >> 21 day quarantine, to help contain the outbreak in west

africa. but officials say that won't help and the administration says it has already stepped up screening procedures and remains opposed to a travel ban. >> i'm not sure that people for one reason might think it would be in their interest one way or another to try the agitate or provoke anxiety among the american people but i would strongly urge you to focus on the facts. >> and david on this question of a 21 day quarantine, you just heard josh earnest at the white house. he says any decision at the federal level is going to be driven by the science and any sort of public fear or hysteria whipped up by politicians on capitol hill. saying it would be an di disincentive, if they are going to have to wait 21 days to come back to their families. a positive note, nina pham's dog

bentley had been under quarantine. he tested negative for ebola. the two will be reunited on friday in dallas. >> a.m. ber vinson has also tested free from ebola. vinson remains in the communicable diseases unit. they say they have no discharge date. tonight the first ebola patient in new york city remains in intensive care. dr. craig spencer had recently traveled to guinea to treat ebola patients. our jonathan betz are there live tonight and jonathan what is the latest on spencer's condition? >> well david, craig spencer remains isolated and in critical condition. this mandatory provision comes after concerns were raised about this infected new york doctor. so today the state's governor

said a voluntary quarantine was no longer enough. today mayor bill deblasio tried to calm nervous new yorkers. tweeting a photo of him on the subway and insisting the city is prepared. >> we have the finest public health system not only anywhere in this country but anywhere in the world. >> craig spencer remains in isolation at new york's bellevue hospital. investigators are now fanning out across the city using creditecrrdzcreditcards and phos every move. he still left his apartment, traveled on the subway, ran in the park and went bowling. on thursday he awoke with a slight fever and immediately notified authorities. >> i think it's instructive

always to remember that this is not a virus that the easily transmitted. >> doctors without boarders give staff guidelines -- without borders give staff guidelines. there are questions why spencer wasn't monitored more closely. friday the governors of new york and new jersey issued new guidelines to change that. >> depending on the risk level, a person could require mandatory 21 day quarantine or at a government regulated facility. >> in harlem spencer's apartment is now sealed and new york is better prepared than dallas. >> in the last few weeks the protocols have improved greatly. i have a lot of respect for our colleagues in dallas who were dealing with the crisis much earlier and without as much information as we now benefit from. >> now spencer was following all guidelines but that did not

include him failing to contact other people. >> an associate vice president at ecohealth alliance, focusing on global health issues. jonathan welcome. let's start with the conflict between the white house and the governors of new jersey and new york. they want officials to be able to impose a quarantine at their will. warehouse says it's a bad idea. who is right? >> i think this is an important discussion to be had and i agree that decisions should be driven by science. in the case of dr. spencer when he was out and about in new york he was asymptomatic. that is a period of time when one is not infectious. one has to come in contact with

el bodily fluids. he was taken to a place of quarantine. very little risk there. but i think the policy in new york and new jersey is driven by the fact what if a patient was symptomatic and didn't adhere to the protocols as dr. spencer might have. you have to determine when a patient should be quarantined or not a patient, but a potential exposed person, what are the criteria, i'm not sure that decision has been made yet. >> simply saying oh my goodness you just came back from west africa, you've just been treating patients, 21 day quarantine seems haphazard and random right? >> they have to decide who is at risk and decide who to quarantine. again if people are diligent about monitoring themselves and stay away from people for the most part they should be fine.

if they detect an elevation of temperature, it still has to be them voluntarily saying they were working with an ebola patient. but if they were just coming from that area how could they decide? health care workers should be responsible by this, and it should be driven by science as to whether we impose a quarantine or not. >> as far as these nurses who have been confirmed free of ebola what are we learning from them? >> i think the biggest take away is that early treatment may make a difference. the difference is we have been able to identify these patients very early, get them into a facility and administer care. they were given plasma from a surviving patient, we don't know what impact that has. i think the earlier one can get supportive care, the better their outcome can be. so many people in africa are not

identified and there isn't treatment available and by the time they report to the clinic they are in advance stage of disease which elevates the likelihood of mortality. >> we can expect that dr. spencer may be getting blood transfusions, plasma transfusions as part of his treatment but as far as how the new york city health care has done this? >> new york has done things very efficiently very effectively. we know that the cdc team that came in were impressed by the procedures that went on in new york city. dr. spencer was taken under correct biocontrol to an isolation facility with minimal contact with anyone else at a very early stage. he did the right thing by making the phone call to be picked up. it all went well and they are tracing his containment and i think it went really well. >> mali now reporting its first case of ebola.

mali the sixth africa country to be affected. should we be concerned? >> soabl traveling, it's good they picked up on this case. mali's fracture is probably such that they will need assistance, also try to trace back this little girl's contacts to make sure this doesn't become a widespread outbreak. >> dr. jonathan epstein, jonathan always great to have you on. >> thanks a lot david appreciate it. >> there are signs u.s. air strikes in northern syria may be paying off against i.s.i.l, particularly around the city of kobani. bernard smith explains why. >> u.s. air strikes on a small hill to the west of kobani occupied for two days by

fighters from the islamic state of iraq and the levant. after this, kurdish fighters took back control. in full view of the world's media kobani has become a test for u.s. strategy against i.s.i.l. a strategy that relies on air strikes and often ill liquid local forces on the ground. a u.s. failure may prompt questioning of its entire plan. >> if they were to fail there, not only would it look bad for the u.s. coalition but the worse thing is it would look good for i.s.i.l. i think the attention these other towns didn't get because of its location, because it's in a dip, you can see the town. you can see on the other side, the attacking forces and you can see from the safety of turkey what's going on. >> reporter: the battle is being played out in front of an audience of kurds. both turkish and syrian.

turkey is hosting almost 200,000 refugees from kobani. it has refused to legality refugees back into the town for the fear it could be used against kurds. >> kurds in kobani are fighting for kurds all over the world. kobani fights for kurdistan. >> only the emergency air drop of weapons by the u.s. helped to keep what's left of the town in kurdish hands and only after that did turkey agree to allow 200 turkish peshmerga soldiers in. >> the regime of syrian president bashar al-assad is just as big a threat. it wants washington to add assad to its target list, it won't.

so u.s. to make use of military bases here, bases that the u.s. believes would significantly help its campaign against i.s.i.l. bernard smith a al jazeera on te turkey-yrtsyria border. attacked by chlorine gas, i.s.i.l. has been accused of outing chlorine gas before in syria. u.s. believes i.s.i.l. stole the cache. bomb disposal units have a crucial job, clearing the way for soldiers to fight. imran khan has more from baghdad. >> reporter: a controlled explosion is still quite a thing to witness.

booby traps and unexplode bombs kill too many in iraq. as the iraqi defense from the islamic state of iraq and the levant continues. with bomb disposal units stretched their commanders have taken matters into their own hands and are coming up with ever more creative solutions. one of the tactics is to shell empty villages in order to explode any hidden devices. >> translator: the process of clearing the main highway from these road side bombs by the mod is ongoing. we aim to clear the main highway and then clear the nearby villages from near the highway. by this mechanism we guarantee the safety of our units and also give the enemy no chance to hold that strategic supply line anymore as we clear it inch by inch. >> reporter: and it can sometimes be inch by inch as they move towards i.s.i.l.

positions. the battle for sala hideideen province, another section of the force is fighting. that's in control partly by i.s.i.l. and partly by the iraqi army. as they inch towards there i.s.i.l. fighters will want to challenge the army. this offensive is designed by the iraqi army to try and cut i.s.i.l. in half and allow them to disrupt their supply lines. for the bomb squad this is just one more day on the front lines and this is one fort that's crucial in the battle against i.s.i.l. but i.s.i.l. fighters are nothing if not resourceful. leaving these men with no choice but to be ever-watchful. imran khan. al jazeera, baghdad. >> up next, 300 days and

counting. the fight to release three wrongly accused al jazeera journalists and the mid term elections. see from the short appearances >> unconventional... >> if i can drink this... i don't see why you should be able to smoke that... >> unscripted... >> we gonna do this? >> ...and uncensored... >> are you kidding me? >> america votes 2014 midterms the series continues only on al jazeera america

>> today marks 300 days since the wrongful imfriz onment of three al jazeera journalists in egypt. peter greste, baher mohamed and mohamed fahmy.

first court appearance wasn't until february the 20th. the court did not hear from prosecution witnesses or see any evidence at that time. after a long trial, they were sentenced in june. gres aareogreste and fahme wered to seven years. september 26th world leaders united to demand their release. earlier this week egyptian lawyers ordered a review of their case. family and friends have fought for their release these past 300 days ever since the verdict was read. >> i don't know how the judge came to that decision. i'd be very interested to hear his reasons for giving that verdict.

it doesn't make any sense. >> one of the other darkest days was seeing him first time in whites. >> in the cage. >> in the cage. >> that even pains me today when i think of that image. >> he's still strong. but having to stay as it were into the abyss of not knowing what's to come. there were moments when i thought he was showing some cracks. >> i think they really believe that things would happen much quicker and that they would not be even considering going past a year in jail. peter's probably been the strongest of all of them. i know boax has been in quite a depression. two months ago his wife had a baby. to not be allowed the start of

the life of his baby must be terribly bad for him. >> our journey starts at 8:00 in the morning and we come back at 5:00 in the evening although the visitation is only 30 minutes. we are surrounded by guards. we do not have the liberty to talk. baher and his fellow journalists were imprisoned for a year, without a valid charge. >> the three journalists are dealing with the problem in their own way. it's up to us to let them know we won't stop fighting. but as much as the campaign has gone global we're still not looking at a possible release date for them walking out of that prison gate. >> our colleagues at al jazeera english based in doha qatar marked the day with a special tribute. >> we will mark each of those days with a second of our air

time. [ clock ticking ]

>> this is al jazeera america, i'm david schuster. john siegenthaler has the night off. women fighting for equal prayer rights in jerusalem, the little girl taking on decades of orthodox tradition. and pablo pi cas pic picasso tay storm again. friday arts. >> egypt declared a three month state of emergency today after the worst attack on the egyptian

military in decades. there were two attacks in the sinai peninsula, 30 were killed, 27 in a car bomb, a few minutes later, three were shot in a checkpoint. it was the worst day for egypt's military, president al-sisi held an emergency meeting with his advisors. president obama also met with his security advisors today to discuss the fight he be against i.s.i.l. held off a month long onslaught against i.s.i.l. in the border town of kobani. nistephanie decker has more. >> as the eis o eyes of the word continue to focus on kobani, syrian president's bashar al-assad's affairs. >> he has busy and he has

priority to which to achieve military success and treat this as priority for him. first priority is damascus. second is latakea and the syrian coast then the road between damascus and that place. he is now taking advantage, and this time, to intensive his military. >> since monday there have been at least 450 government air strikes across the country. many inside syria feels no one is paying attention now that the narrative is all about i.s.i.l. we spoke to an activist in the damascus country side. >> only concentrate on i.s.i.l. we should mention an important point that in kobani a few hundred people are besieged. whereas, in western homs there are 800,000 under government siege left without food or medicine. >> there are also reports that

multiple brigades against the free syrian army wants to join the siege of kobani. the battle is intensifying in the cities of aleppo and the damascus country side. >> it is a very good news for president assad. now, he's taken advantage from this time, to gain on that hand, when they would like to say, sit down on the table, he can have strong cards. so time is running out and he's very interested to gain on the field on that end before sitting and starting to discuss any political solution. >> reporter: but the syrian opposition is divided politically and when it comes to the many different groups fighting on the ground. there may be an international coalition that is fighting i.s.i.l. but there is no such agreement on how to end this almost four year war, a war that

according to the u.n. has killed over 200,000 syrians and displaced millions. stephanie decker al jazeera beirut. >> there are varying estimates how much money i.s.i.l. has in its war chest. according to some groups, i.s.i.l. earns more than $1 million a day. "real money"'s ali velshi tracks some of the money to saudi arabia. >> the saudis consider themselves to be the guardians of islam's holiest places. to that end many saudi liquorics have encouraged citizens to financially support sunni islamic muslims throughout the middle east. critics say by granting the liquorics so much latitude the saudis may have in fact gotten themselves in trouble. >> extreme liquorics inside the

country, those haven't -- clerics inside the country, they also have control of the education system they have control of the public place, and they have a global presence through many of the embassies. >> and that global presence has kept the money flowing. the u.s. department of treasury said this past march that sympathetic private saudi donors have been channeling opinion money to islamic terrorist organizations throughout the middle east and beyond. ful experts agree that private saudi money was used to fund the now notorious group of islamic state of iraq and the levant or i.s.i.l. >> there is some support for i.s.i.l. among saudi citizens and it is very likely that saudi citizens have funded i.s.i.l. in the past. >> the private saudi support for external terror financing may

now be coming back to haunt the saudis. in may the saudis announced they had uncovered a plot to kill government officials and to attack national and foreign interests in the country. 62 suspects were arrested. in response the saudi government gain a campaign to-- began a campaign to stop its own citizens from backing islamic terrorist organizations working abroad especially in syria for many groups including i.s.i.l. in september saudi arabia joined the u.s. led coalition against i.s.i.l. in air strikes led 50 united states saudi jets struck i.s.i.l. in syria. particularly aboard one of those planes was a member of the royal family, prince khalid ben kalam. ali velshi, al jazeera.

>> a young israeli girl made history at jerusalem's western wall, one of the holiest sites of judaism. the first girl ohave her bat myths virginimitzva there. >> the small act of sing might overturn decades of are tradition. >> i'm trying not to get excited but this is the most exciting time of my life. >> sasha is practicing for her bat mitzva. boys have done that for hundreds of years, they carry the torah through the western wall plaza. the proud fathers hold up

judaism's most revered texts but girls are not allowed to do this, they say. they've ripped sasha's posters down. the he feminist group women of the wall have been harassed and arrested. and the western wall's chief rabbi calls her a provocateur. >> there are people who want to spark a religious war. political wars might be controllable but in a religious war you can't control the flames. >> the pr pressure can get to a 12-year-old. her mother iraena tries to assure her. i'm with you, she whispers, i'm with you. but on her day of her batmitzva, her plan seems to come undone.

women of the wall is stopped by a representative. >> you can't bring in torah scrolls, that is the regulation. >> to not pray at the wall, i'm shamed, i'm shamed. >> sasha and her mother enter without the tor rah. they enter with a brave face even though some men try stop. >> what do you think? >> they desecrate the place. >> but today they are determined to prove they belonged. they took a very big step with a small torah, smuggled in a purse. for 40 years since israel occupied this site, this has never happened. a girl reads from the torah at her bat mitzva at the wall.

and proved that she was braver than she realized. >> we are calling on all girls to do their bat mitzva at the wall. that is our message. >> they will continue to fight so the next generation doesn't have to deceive or fight anymore. nick schifrin, al jazeera, jerusalem. this will be a busy year candidates running in the mid term elections but voters in many states have already made their decisions. across 36 states more than 2 million americans have already cast ballots. nearly half of those have been submitted in florida. a million votes already in florida and by election day early voting is expected to account for 70% of all votes tabted in -- tableted in the tae

state. at first the president seemed a bit confused. >> this is my card, i'm going to be going back this way, this machine? this one, this one? come on help me out somebody. >> overseas, hundreds of thousands of american troops and members of the diplomatic corps are being reminded they also have an opportunities to participate in the mid terms. here is a video e-mail from the u.s. ambassador to thailand. >> it is like me an american citizen living overseas. you need to register to vote and to get your absentee ballot. >> and back in the united states candidates in both appeare parte urging citizens not to wait. >> he lost out because he lost out on his opportunity to vote. >> which party benefits more

from early voting and have there been any problems at the poll so far? join us on power politics. parliamentary elections are being held in the ukraine, first election since the overthrow of viktor yanukovych. barnaby phillips last more. >> these are dark days in ukraine and there are some unlikely candidates who say they can get the country out of its mess. darth vader is on the ballot paper, promising peace and end to corruption. but even if ukrainians share his concern about where the country is going they're unlikely to vote him and his friends into parliament. there are more credible new parties emerging. these activists played a prominent part in the yore throw of president yanukovych. yet the revolution is not complete. >> yanukovych is escaped, but

his system in court in general prosecutor office in all state agencies and the ministers is working unfortunately. his kleptocratic state is not done. >> the man assaulted here is a minister under yanukovych. we met him in his office, he said new legislation that punishes senior civil servants and those who worked for president yanukovych is unfair. >> translator: it's a catastrophic mistake that could affect some one million public servants. it is a political vendetta. we hope to repeal this legislation. >> no one in kiev will ever

forget the baghts that occurred in this square last winter. but now that yanukovych is gone, ukrainians go into the election divided. with the economy shrinking and a war in the east, ukrainians also know that their country is in desperate need of the stability and unity. president poroshenko is not running in this election, but the petro poroshenko block is likely to be the winner, coalition giving ukraine a stronger government. but the changes of the past year have been violent and unpredictable. in ukraine there is no tradition of consensus in politics, which ever party wins will struggle to hold this government together. barnaby phillips. >> ed from mankowitz is being

remembered. in 1968 as a spokesman for robert f. kennedy' kennedy's bie presidency. >> robert francis kennedy died at 1:44 a.m. today. >> gunned down after a campaign speech in los angeles, man keiwitz. frank mankewitz was 90 years old. michael shore, you knew the family quite well, you got to know frank. what jumps out at you as we try to remember his life? >> david, first of all, the thing that comes up all the time of course is his association with robert f. kennedy. he ran his campaign as the press secretary, he was actually the press secretary for rfk in 1968 and best known for delivering of course the sad announcement of

senator kennedy's death. he was a part of history all the way. rfk then mcgovern. he served in the peace corps, ran npr, he lived a very, very unique american life. >> you had a chance to talk with him and his life. were there any particular doaks anecdotes that frank liked to talk about? >> frank was a democrat, an eternal democrat, thought no matter what the democrat was going to win but doesn't help a lot. one of the great anecdotes is when he was running are kennedy's campaign, john tunney, the sob of gene tunney endorsed hubert humpl humphrey. we know willie brown went to do

so much more made famous as the mayor of san francisco. but what he said to willie brown when he called him looking for his imorm endorsement, when he y had him, he said willie your father was in the navy right? and brown said, confused, yes, he was a light weight, brown said, yes was a light weight. frank mankeiwicz said i would rather have the ligh heavyweighn of the lightweight champion than the heightweight son of a heavyweight. he knew what to do for that person in trouble. he was the first phone call apparently that teddy kennedy

made after chappaquiddick. he knew that language better than anyone and david he invented a word, red trown -- retronym. something a new word off of an old word. >> i didn't know that. >> now you do. >> thanks to you and thanks ofrank. as the politics changed over the years, did frank become more pessimistic about america at the end? >> i think what frank you saw, the idea of issues and the idea of talking about things that matter mattered and candidates that talked about them they changed drastically. he saw he was really upset about the power of money and politics. he saw it as a reality, though. so that is what was great about frank. he was practical. he would say listen, i don't like there's all this money in

politics, hard to get things done. you have to doing things to get around that but doesn't mean it should be at the expense of things that mean something to people. >> thank you we appreciate it. >> thanks david. >> coming up our photo of the day, plus the rebuilding of a landmark theater, in new york, one piece at a time.

>> storm system after storm system continues to hit the pacific northwest and we've got rain in the first frontal system passing by. it's a warm system this one, so as that rain is pushing up from south to north we're also going to have some building winds behind it in the night. gusts 40 to 50 miles an hour out on the coast and you can see as we look out into the pacific ocean there's a series of storms that will be spinning inland, lots of rain and wind.

most of our wind will be focused up into washington state. it will wrap around, hitting the coast first, around the olympic mountains and into the puget sound and that will be pushing into northern idaho. the winds will come as we get into later saturday and these are going to be powerful winds across oregon, the entire state all the way into northern california. of course the higher elevations 40 to 50 mile-per-hour winds have potential to have stronger gusts. we'll continue to get the sacramento valley and the high sierra into that action. behind that front snow levels will plummet down to 6500 feet and you prepare for the remnants of an old hurricane to bring you some more rain then the lower midwest starts to heat up. al jazeera news continues.

>> the picasso museum, as paul brennan reports it's a a side of a wider recovery in the arts scene. >> pablo picasso, during his life he hoarded his own work and by the time of his death his personal collection numbered more than 70,000 artworks dating back from his earliest years. but managing the collection has proved as challenge i as the

artist himself. taken five years and cost nearly $30 million more than originally budgeted. the program culminated in the sacking of the museum's president later hired as the collection's curator. no wonder the new museum president prefers to look to the future. >> my hope is to make this museum alive, not like a burial tomb, it is very dangerous for a museum to be like a tomb. this museum should be alive should be a place where people are happy and that's my main task during the next five years. >> indeed there seems to be huge cause for optimism. the opening of the museum is seen as symbolic to a massive resurgence, though he managed to amass a huge collection of his works, times are changing. there is new openness in this city and with it new excitement

in the paris art scene. the streets of the marais district are lined with scores of galleries. now buzz is returning. another flagship project that opened in the project is the louis vuitton gary-designed museum space. commissioned by arnaud, and toik yoa antokyo and the middle easts once again exciting. >> the community shows its commitment and not only in the public sector but private sector what mr. hanoi is doing and i'm sure it will be like this in paris. >> as dealers and galleries search for new talent the

biggest birches coul beneficiare the artists themselves. paul brennan, al jazeera, paris. a long overdue face lift, in friday arts, kaylynn forbes. >> retired school teacher ron schweiger is known as mr. brooklyn. he's fought to preserve every piece of its history. >> look at that, that's really something. >> reporter: but one spot holds a special place in ron's heart, the king's theater. >> the first time i came to the king's theater was in 1969. my wife and i had just got married. we lived in the neighborhood. this was not a movie theater. this was a movie palace. you almost felt like royalty when you walked in. the fluted columns, the chandeliers, the 80-foot ceiling, it was immense and it
