so-called west memphis three are enjoying their first full day of freedom after 18 years behind bars. the trio were released from prison yesterday after cutting a complicated deal with arkansas prosecutors. the men were convicted for the brutal killings of three cub scouts in 1992, a crime they have long maintained their never committed. an indiana community is saying goodbye to a hero. funeral services are being held for glen goodrich. goodrich died last week at the stage collapse last saturday night. goodrich leaves behind a wife and two sons. delay it's air and water show. about two million spectators were expected to attend, the big draw, the thunderbirds. just after the show started, the
1:03 pm
crowd was told to seek cover. once the show passed, the show resumed. back to that major story out of iran. the fate of american hikers shane bauer and josh fattal. iran's state run television said the pair had been sentenced to eight years in prison. a journalist joins us now on the phone from tehran. give us an idea, is there any real confirmation that they have indeed been sentenced? >> reporter: domestic regency has been reporting to ap and ap reported that an informed source from the judiciary has told them that joshua fattal al and shane bauer have been convicted of spying and they've been given five years for spying and three years each for entering iran illegally, which makes it a total of eight years, two years
1:04 pm
they have already spent in prison so they have six more years to go. but the lawyers for these two gentlemen, i talked to him two or three hours before and he had not been informed of the court's decision, sentence as of yet. so the news may have been reported, but it has not become official because the lawyer has not been informed yet. and you are still hoping that this was a mistake and that it was a misquote, by the judicial official and the sentence has not been passed yet. but we have to wait until tomorrow to see if he is confirmed or not. >> and if indeed it is the case that they were sentenced to eight years, given the history of others, including a journalist a few years ago who were sentenced to a rather lengthy time to be served and was released just shortly thereafter, is there a strong possibility that this is really
1:05 pm
a message being sent to the western community and perhaps they may not have to serve all eight years? >> well, as you said, the lady you're referring to is roxana farbari who's a freelance journalist who mediated and he secured her release. this may happen again. but it depends on the president or the premier to check in and secure the release of the two americans. other than that, if the sentence is eight years, the only thing they can do is to appeal it in the court of appeals in the next 20 days and wait for that procedure to be completed. >> thanks for your reporting, i appreciate that. we are closely watching developments in little bit as
1:06 pm
well, where rebels west of tripoli made a very strong claim today, that they managed to push moammar gadhafi's troops out of the last ski city before reaching the capital, that as the latest nato air strikes are still echoing in tripoli. matthew chance is now joining us from tripoli, it is now after 10:00 there in tripoli, so we're hearing the u.s. officials say moammar gadhafi may be planning his last stand and other rebels are saying it could be any day now, what are you learning? >> well, we just have to wait and see, certainly we haven't seen any sign as yet of a rebel entrance into tripoli itself. we have been witnessing of course those very ferocious and low running battles that have been taking play, in places like like -- because of the control they have over the strategic supply
1:07 pm
routes in and out of the libyan capital, what we haven't seen is any fighting on the outskirts of tripoli, and if that were to happen, libya is something of a stronghold of support for colonel gadhafi, it's believed that the leader has kept many of his best trained, best equipped trained military in the libyan capital in case they need to step up to defend it. he's also called on all of his supporters in tripoli to arm themselves and to be ready for any kind of rebel advance. so if there is a push on tripoli, then at the expectation is that it will be very bloody indeed, fredericka. >> what is this about conflicting reports that moammar gadhafi are making arrangements so that he could flee to tunisia? >> there are rumors that the gadhafi regime had put out
1:08 pm
feelers to other arab countries to egypt, to nigeria as well to see if those countries could provide safe haven for his family and for he himself. but those requests have been refused flatly. they say the leader has said this a number of times in his public statements over recent days that s days that he intends to stay in tripoli and if necessary to lead the fight to defend tripoli himself. so at least publicly, the position is that he's going to stay, but who knows what's taking place in terms of negotiations behind closed doors. >> clearly a lot of uncertainty, thank you very much, matthew chance. >> let's move about 30 miles west that's where sarah side never is.
1:09 pm
sarah, tell us about this firefight that you and the crew were quite witness to, quite frankly right in the middle of today. >> reporter: yeah, it was pretty scary. that was though now more than ten hours ago, and what i can tell you is that city has now been taken by the rebels, we went all the way into the city, centered today that's where the massive amount of fighting was happening. we got back safely obviously. but what we saw today was a city destroyed, at least in the center of town and towards the east, where gadhafi forces were pounding the town with artillery require and what's known as grad missiles, these are huge missiles that are like seven feet long and they can do massive damage. however we were told by rebels that they had the help of nato. a couple of days ago they were all told to evacuate the city center, to move out any residents that were in the area.
1:10 pm
we do know that the gadhafi forces had snipers on some of these buildings and eventually nato came in and they actually bombed some of the city center. you can see that some of the buildings have fallen in. but a big mess in the middle of the city, the rebels are celebrating. you can hear rebel gun fire. >> are these rebel forces prepared to take on loyalists to gadhafi if indeed they advance toward tripoli? >> it's interesting to note when we asked them these kind of questions, they say, well, god willing, we're going to be able to do this. but they're very confident they're going to be able to move up to the city. the question is what will happen if they get to tripoli. they believe they will be getting to tripoli in the next few days, not the next few weeks. they are very, very excited
1:11 pm
about that and adamant that they'll be able to make it to tripoli. but as you heard matthew chance there in tripoli, everyone believes that there will be a massive firefight there unless something drastically changes. and back here in the states, in case you haven't heard there,'s a big wedding going on on the west coast today. kim kardashian tying the north. who cuddle up with your soreness and give out polar bear hugs. technology.

1:23 pm
introduction to conan, he kind of comes back, it's a reboot really, it's a little bit of the story that we had seen in the first conan the barbarian back with arnold schwarzenegger. >> okay, let's take a look. >> okay, she yelled conan and everybody else says conan. which is? i'm getting confused here. >> i think it depends on where you're from and whether or not you're trying to make sure you're not talking about the talk show host. >> right, exactly. so i was really be facetious, it matters what it's all about, but it really is just a whole lot of slash and that kind of good stuff and it's very appealing to a lot of the guys.
1:24 pm
>> well, sort of. what you mainly get here is a lot of fight scenes, that's the best thing going on in this movie. but the story is really lacking. unfortunately, you never really care who conan is or why he's doing what he's doing. you do get a story about a boy who, when he's a young boy, his village gets wiped out and he's on a quest for revenge, but you don't really get behind him as a character. and this movie was really disappointing, i have to say. it. say what you will about arnold schwarzenegger these days, but he has a lot of on screen charisma and i didn't think this stacks up. >> so what is your grade? >> my grade is a d. it's relatively forgettable. >> fright night, for those of you who just love the thrill of something scary, fright knight taking on the 1985 horror flick,
1:25 pm
it stars collin farrell and then terrorizes the team next door, let's watch. >> heck no, you're not going to see me at this one. but anyway, what did you think? and then your grade. >> i like this movie, for a movie that -- for an unnecessary remake, pretty good. collin farrell is really good in this. and the secret star is david tennant, who's basically playing a chris angel type character. i really enjoyed this movie, i'm giving it a b.
1:26 pm
i thought it was a really solid movie. it's not particularly scary. but i think maybe i will see it. it's not a very scary more error movie. >> so you're giving it an a? >> i give it a b. >> let's talk about "one day" it's out in theaters, some say it's reminiscent of whenever harry met sally. the critics are weighing in. what's being said? >> yes, the critics are weighing in, i haven't had a chance to see this, but we have had reviews for this film. we give it a rotten score. >> okay, well, matt, i guess there's one in this trio here that me way see, it's always

1:44 pm
patients, they're also looking for solutions as well. but fredericka, many health care providers practice defensive medicine, so unless there's some solids evidence-based therapy, then they may be reluctant to recommend it to their patients, but out in the parking lot, if you ask your doctor, they may tell you, i can't talk to you now, i've got to go my massage. >> does viit have to be an all none proposition? take the field of pain medicine for example, where, yes, it's true, many people who suffer severe pain are on a variety of different medications, but many of them are also referred to these alternate providers who study acupuncture and other. >> how does one go about exploring alternative medicine. how do you begin.
1:45 pm
>> the first thing is go right back to your regular doctor, they might have some insights for you. if the doctor seems to be cool to the idea, look up a specialist who practices integrative medicine, these are doctors who combine evidence-based alternative therapies with traditional therapies. whoever you go to, always verify their training and experience. these alternative practitioners have to have licenses, and you go on the internet and you can find out all about them. and carefully monitor all the drugs, therapies and treatments and natural products that you're taking, because there could be collisions sometimes, always make sure you notify your regular doctor, everything that you're taking, including her balls and other probiotics in addition to the medications you've already been prescribed. >> dr. bill lloyd, helping us stay healthy. always good to see you, this time from boston.
