an explosion levels a building in new york. and an h.i.v. outbreak what is behind the spread of the disease, and what is the governor doing there to contain it. >> good evening, i'm randall pinkston in for antonio mora. there's growing evidence that the co-pilot of the german airliner in the french alps brought the plane down on purpose. recordings from pt black box paint a terrifying picture of the final moments on board flight 925. now, according to a report police made a discovery at the home of that pilot. john terrett joins us with the latest. >> good evening. a french prosecutor today confirming the unimaginable that co-pilot andres lubitz locked his captain out. removing bags of belongings that

they hope answer why. >> the passenger screamed during the time moments of their lives as the captain pounded on the door. demanding the co-pilot let him in minutes later the germanwings flight crashed into a mountain the plane paul varized by the impact. the scenario playing out on the voice recorder. >> translation: so alone at the controls, the goh pilot affected the descent. the act of descending was deliberate. then lube its who officials believe intended to crash the plane locked the door and initiated the dissent seeing the plane plunge from 38,000 to 6,000 when the airbus a320

crash. i think i'm not only speaking for myself when i say that in my worst nightmare we would not have been able to imagine that such a tragedy could occur in business. >> this air bus training video shows how andres lubitz may have prevented the captain from entering. toggling a lever to the lock switch, that could have kept the captain out. lufthansa, unlike american carriers, does not require more than one person to be in the cockpit at the same time and says there's no need to change policies yet. >> airlines need to look at measures to ensure there's more than one in the cockpit. >> that has been looked at by air-berlin and others. this video released by france showing how counting the task

is. families waiting in the countryside below. robert whose son robert is among three americans killed is waiting for word in barscelona took off. >> we would have liked to have gone. there's nothing to see. some feel better getting closer. in this case we would like to go, but when something could be identified. >> andres lubitz received some training at a lufthansa facility. he began to learn commercial aviation until 2030. >> the search for answers led investigators to answers for the co-pilot's home.

police were seen taking several boxes. at this point we don't know what they found. as paul beban reports. a clearer picture of the co-pilot is coming into focus. >> a young pilot that likes to run and live a quiet live. the little we have learnt makes the question at the heart of the disaster puzzling. if prosecutors are correct and andres lubitz flew flight 924 into the side of the mountain why would he a done it. andres lubitz started working for the german wing out of flight school. he had flown for 18 months without incident. the c.e.o. said andres lubitz had taken a break in training in 2008. he passed the tests and was fit to fly. >> i want to mention this.

after qualifications were checked again. he took up the training. following that he took the tests. he was 100% no nigh without limitations. the local government said andres lubitz passed a security check on january 27th. people who knew him stayed quiet but friendly. >> i cannot imagine that it garnered this attention. it's not fitting in the picture. that i have from him. >> police have been searching the apartment in parents house for clues. it's a way for employees to anonymously report concerns. about his own or colleague's mental health. his relatives begin to comprehend this horror.

>> translation: you must consider the parents have to carry on living with the burden. going though something like that his parents and considering his circumstances is a huge blow. >> turning to yemen, where eternal unrest escalated into a conflict. a saudi led subdivision continued an bombardment of houthi yemens. >> reporter: for the second night saudi arabia jets bombed houthi tarts in yemen. we got a look in daylight of the damage

bases. . >> we understand the saudi's concerns the threat that they perceive on their border to

which they are responding. so you know we are supportive of their efforts to address that. iran has supported the houthis with humanitarian aid. saudi arabia claimed the backing includes weapons. iran denies that. it's a battle for influence in the region between sunni, saudi arabia and shia iran which quickly condemned the air strikes. >> translation: it's necessary for all military action to end. we believe that these military actions can plunge the region into turmoil and will have no benefit for any country to enter. >> yemen's president is in riyadh fleeing the palace after the houthis closed in the conflicts in yemen and iraq is different, but in both the u.s. is waging a proxy wore

over influence in the region. we go to washington with a look at that battle. >> it's been looking for a while like run was backing a winner. >> you consider yemen a success story or not. >> it is. >> the houthi advances include taking the capital to shut down the embassy forcing 100 commandos to beet a hasty retreat. that denied them a base to go after those in the area. from the u.s. perspective the problem was iran. >> in terms of the long-term threat in the region iran is the greatest threat. >> enter-saudi arabia arabia

with air strikes and ground troops. and the houthi forces have the flight on the hands. the operations launched last night led by saudi arabia led nine other sunni nations. it's an effort by arab allies to fight back against iranian inspired aggression. >> the u.s. is playing a role providing the saudis with targetting logistical device at a secret base. the reverse of fortune is obvious. the u.n. began conducting air strikes to help restart a stalled offensive. the military advice and planning was flawed. >> they didn't have precision fires to support the effort. trying to go about the difficult task.

clearing a place like tikrit without that causes them to stall. >> the not so subtle message to the iraqi government. the u.s. will save the day, only if you kick iran to the side lines. culled the commander was nowhere to be scene. and militia groups pulled out of the fight after being told they would not be allowed to clear or hold the predominantly sunni city. score another for the commander loathe to help iran's proxies in iraq. >> three tours in iraq commanding troops who are brutalized by the shia militias. i hope we never coordinate or cooperate with shia militias. as in any long-running conflict battlefield success can ebb and flow. at the moment some of the momentum appears to have been

regained. no battle determines the outcome of a war, and iran makes it clear it will continue to balance influence in the middle east for years to come. world leaders are in switzerland attempting to hammer out the framework. secretary of state john kerry and his counterpart zarif took part in the talks. iran said its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposers, some fear they are seeking weapons. >> syria's president is looking to end the war. he has had no direct contact with washington but is willing to open a dialogue with the u.s. if it does not threaten the sovereignty. >> we could say every dialogue is a positive thing.

we'll be open to any dialogue with anyone in the united states regarding anything, based on mutual respect. >> earlier this month the secretary of state says the u.s. must negotiate with the government. kerry's government was walked back by the state department. >> a joakim nordstrom member used of helping i.s.i.l. appeared in court. he was boarding a flight to egypt and was arrested. his cousin jonas edmonds was custody. they planned to attack a military installation in illinois. they are charged with conspiring to support terrorism. >> there was an explosion here and a fire spread to two other vehicles. a number of residents were forced to jump from windows and

short-term needle exchange to combat the epidemic. the c.d.c. is involved. it's significant that he changed his mind on that. is that correct. do you think it's enough? >> that is correct, i want to thank the governor for putting himself out in that way. it's against a political stance in the past. he's giving us every tool to address the problem and overcome the epidemic. in austin in particular. >> is the legal exchange limited to the geographic area or could it apply to anywhere in the state where there's a problem. >> right now, it only applies to scott county. >> do you think it should be extended expanded. >> i testified in indiana to expand it to the entire state. >> now, your clinic in austin

received death threats from people in the community who are not too happy with the attention they are getting. what do you make of this. >> i think no one likes negative press, and they have good reason to be upset. this is a tragedy that it's hopping in our mountie. people in austin deserve to be proud of where they are from not ashamed. they have a right to be angry. they are voicing that in the only way they know how. >> we don't here a lot about h.i.v. aids. many might believe the battle was won in the late 90s, and in the past. what does the latest outbreak say about h.i.v. awareness in your area in particular in the country in general. >> h.i.v. is chronic. it never went away. we have effective means of treating it. that's what we have seen. we can treat it to the point
