from cnn center, this is "weekend early start." it's 6:00 a.m. in the east, 3:00 a.m. in the west. good morning. i'm randy kay. here's what's happening right now. breaking news out of afghanistan where a u.s. service member is detained for shooting civilians. we'll have a live report from the capital of kabul. tears, praerz, and a moment of silence as japan marks the one-year anniversary of a massive earthquake, and in the republican race for the white house, one candidate wins kansas, but another touts delegate gains. let's get an update on that breaking story out of afghanistan where a u.s. service

member has opened fire on civilians. sarah is in kabul, afghanistan. what can you tell us at this point? >> reporter: good morning. at this point there's a lot of conflicting information, depending bho you ask, which has been par for the course in this conflict. away we're hearing from the international service assistance force is that they are saying, look, this was one soldier who went off base. it was not a part of any kind of a mission. the soldier left base, walked off the base, and eventually opened fire injuring several civilians. those civilians are being treated at a coalition medical facility. now, that is now being disputed by the taliban and by a villager that we were able to get ahold of in the area. this is happening in an area that has been heavily targeted because it is filled with the taliban, and so it's an area that has seen quite a bit of action, but we need to mention that the taliban is saying that they believe this was many

soldiers who attacked one particular village. they're claiming that there are dozens of people who have been killed, although they are known to exaggerate the number of dead when it comes to any incident involving coalition forces. isaf has disputed that saying this is one soldier who went on his own and then returned to base and turned himself in. there is now investigation underway, as you might imagine. nato officials and afghan officials are looking into this incident, but there is a big difference between what isaf is saying, what the taliban is saying, with and what a villager is saying in that area. >> are there reports of bodies there and how many if so? >> reporter: there have been reports. we've heard everything from three to 17 people killed. the taliban is saying 50, but, again, have you to keep this in mind that they often exaggerate numbers, the taliban. we are hearing from this particular villager that he himself saw several bodies in the back of trucks. he said he saw several men in the back of trucks and a few

children as well. we have not been able to independently confirm ourselves, and we've not seen any pictures or video out of the area, so still, a lot of conflicting information coming out, but isaf has been pretty pointed in saying this was one soldier acting on his on, not by any kind of order. he was on his own. there was no mission. he has been detained, and there is an investigation going on. at this point we haven't ourselves seen any video or any evidence, but there are a lot of different voices, conflicting voices, on this particular story, randy. >> sara, thank you very much. we'll continue to keep an eye on this story throughout the morning and bring you the very latest. now, exactly one year ago today everything changed in japan and the world could only watch in horror. a massive under sea earthquake struck japan. the 9.0 quake was so powerful it shifted the earth's axis.

what happened next was even worse. the quake triggered a giant tsunami that roared on to japan's northeast coast. the towering wave washed away nearly everything in its path. [ screaming ] >> terrified residents fled in panic as the wall of water chased them. in this amateur video you can hear the man screaming at others to get to higher ground before the wave swallows them up. the tsunami crippled the fukushima die eachy power plant and unleashing dangerous radiation that caused thousands to flee. it killed nearly 16,000 people and levelled entire towns. the disaster caused at least

$300 billion in damage. ? japan's capital ask across the country, people gathered today to mark the anniversary and to remember the loved ones that they lost. cnn's kiung la -- >> it did. this is one of the hardest hit communities all along the tsunami zone, and it was one of many that did pause at 2:46 local time here in japan to mark what happened a year ago. people here say it was an extraordinarily important moment. they wanted to turn the page. they wanted to mark the date and then try to look ahead to the future and what the future is it's very uncertain. for a town like this, can you see all the rubble behind me, randy. it's massive and goes on for miles, and it's this way along 350 square miles of coastline here in northeastern japan that

is still flattened. there's still no rebuilding, and a lot of people here are hoping that the coming years will certainly be better hand this last one they've seen. sdmroog compared to the others, that really was one of the hardest hit areas. >> reporter: it absolutely was because the area i'm standing in right now -- and it's a little too dark to show you reason, but it was completely flattened. the entire downtown is gone. people are still wandering through here, and there's still nothing here. there are no homes or businesses. what happened in this town was that the entire infrastructure went away along with the homes and the lives here. you're absolutely right. it was very hard because for many people they lost absolutely everything including their loved ones. >> as you talk to people there, do they have any hope that their community, thun town will

eventually be rebuilt? >> it really depends on who you speak with. there are some people who are optimistic, but they have to look many years down the line. there are talks of seven, eight, ten year rebuilding plans. this is not going to happen very quickly. people who say, yes, we're optimistic, but they're looking ten years down the road. they're not optimistic about tomorrow. the people who are thinking about tomorrow, they've left this area, and that's really one of the big challenges for communities here along the northeastern coast is trying to keep the survivors here. there are certain parts, certain little neighborhoods that are completely vacated, and there has been absolutely no pulling away the rubble because people have simply given up on those communities. >> that's so terrible still for them even after this one year. thank you very much. appreciate that. in damascus former u.n. chief owe coachy annan is set to meet with barb air assad to try

think tai a listen to him talking about his win in this kansas contest. >> we are doing well out here in the midwest. >> can you give us any more thoughts on kansas? >> awesome win. feeling great. >> reporter: the santorum campaign is going one step further. hogan, who is santorum's national communications director said, "this is a great win for the campaign and further evidence that conservatives and tea party loyalists are uniting behind rick as the true consistent conservative in this race." the santorum campaign certainly hopes that's the case as they move ahead. look ahead towards tuesday's contest in mississippi and alabama. they certainly hope to do well there, although there are some polls suggesting that santorum has an uphill climb. one other thing of note. hawaii also has a contest on tuesday and santorum is sending his he wouldest daughter, elizabeth, there to campaign. shannon travis, cnn, overland park, kansas. >> here's the current delegate count. mitt romney won the most

delegates this past week, but the magic number a candidate needs to win the presidential nomination is 1,144. here's the breakdown. mitt romney needs 686 more delegates to clinch the nomination. rick santorum needs 941. newt gingrich and ron paul have a long way to go. both candidates would need a majority of the 1,441 unallocated delegates to win. you can play politics too with us. just visit cnn.com/election and click the primaries and caucuses tab, and then you can predict how many delegates the republican presidential contenders will win in each state with our delegate calculator. other news now, a gunman on the run since friday is finally in custody this morning after a courthouse shooting and stabbing. police arrested 34-year-old steven krav its without incident yesterday. an unlikely source led deputies to the suspect. kravitz's mother called police after seeing media records. snipers surrounded her home and took kravitz into custody. as you can imagine, neighbors are relieved.

welcome back. today marks the one-year anniversary of the deadly earthquake and tsunami that ravaged parts of japan. the disaster also sent a wave of garbage into the sea. it's thousands of miles long still floating in the ocean and it's now getting closer and closer to our shores. i want to bring in alexandra steele. you're tracking this thing. >> we're talking debris like rooves and trucks and cars and anything you can possibly imagine. here's a look. we're going to show you what it is and talk about what's

happening. the wreckage, 23 million metric tons of material was displaced. you know, we just showed that live picture from japan, and you know it was levelled. there's nothing there. all that debris did go somewhere. now, most of it did sink to the ocean floor, but still, about 900,000 metric tons is floating out there, supposedly somewhere. what we've seen so far is this debris field has traveled about 2,000 miles just in the last year. this is, of course, the year anniversary. what scientists have done is they've simulated the path of this debris field, of course, because of the currents and the weather all plays a role, so here's a look at that simulated path. now, it's really difficult to know what has sunk and what hasn't because it's now difficult to see that debris field on satellite. that's why this is the computer model projection. now, there on the right side of your screen is the western east coast -- the west coast, and, of course, the left of your screen is japan. in the middle there are the hawaiian islands.

it's all been kept in motion by the weather and ocean currents, but the radioactive core was washed out to sea, so some of the problems that we're looking at, there are certainly many, but it's the contaminated oceans and the food chain that we have seen, and, of course, that could remain toxic for hundreds of years potentially, randy. >> that's amazing, and the size of it, 900,000 metric tons. all right. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. so did you know that there's a mini gold rush going on right now? in about one minute i'll tell you where you can make this cash the old-fashioned way. nade ? susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast speeds. we'll take all the strawberries, dave. you got it, kid. we have a winner. we're definitely gonna need another one. small businesses that want to grow use 4g lte technology from verizon. i wonder how she does it. that's why she's the boss. because the small business with the best technology rules. contact the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 1-800-974-6006.

whitney houston's daughter has been keeping pretty quiet since her mom died a month ago. now she's sitting with oprah. we're going to talk about the controversy surrounding that interview.

investigators say they're close to completing whitney houston's cox kolg report. they've already character all of the doctors and pharmacies with ties to her. sources say so far nothing seems to be criminal. officials are still hoping to speak with houston's daughter, bobby christina, before they make a final ruling. houston was found dead last month in a california hotel's bathtub. bobby christina may not be speaking to investigators, but she is talking with oprah winfrey, and it's not without controversy. some critics say it's too soon

for her to be giving interviews. let me bring in entertainment journalist john murray. john, welcome to the show this morning. what's your take on this whole thing? do you think it's too early? should she be talking at this point? >> you know, randy, grieving the loss of a loved one is an individual process, and so i think everyone comes to terms on their own basis. you know, i never thought i would be quoting latoya jackson, but i saw her on "the talk" recently, and she referenced michael jackson's kids, and she said they faced similar criticism when they had them talk to oprah winfrey, but she says the kids processed his death more quickly. they ultimately helped the adults in his family cope with his death as well. >> what about houston's sister? she also talked with oprah winfrey. let's listen to that, and then i want to ask you about that interview. >> were you afraid that she would be gone too soon? >> if things hadn't changed, but things were changing. it wasn't about substance abuse or anything like that relative

to the latter days or anything like that. i think it was just more of lifestyle. i was afraid for other things. >> that's just a snipett, sort of a tease of that interview, but what do you think you want to hear? what are you waiting to hear from that interview? >> i'm looking forward to hearing bobby christina talk about whitney houston, the mother. you know, she's the ultimate guardian of her mom's legacy, so hearing from her is very, very important, and her mom trusted oprah winfrey, which is why she chose to talk to oprah winfrey. she was a family friend, and so it's going to be very interesting to hear her speak about her mom and the bond that they had. >> yeah. i'm sure it will be, although we haven't seen any of those clips yet, but we're looking forward to that one. listen, there are critics who are accusing the talk show queen of nabbing the houston daughter to help boost her sagging ratings on own. do you think that's fair, and do you think this would even help the network? >> well, you know, oprah has

never had a problem getting exclusiveives. we know that over the years. whitney houston, when she did her comeback cd in 2009, the only exclusive interview she gave was to oprah winfrey. oprah, you know, these interviews are great for her network. of course, it will have stellar ratings, but she has other shows that are performing as well. ler next chapter series, her life class, and even a show called welcome to sweetie pies that she's not even on. the ratings are good for that show as well. yes, it's going to help the ratings, but i don't think this was a ratings decision. i think this was a houston family decision. >> let me get your take on another topic. jay. >> is on the legislative floor. listen zoosh i think jay zee said it best, and i'm going to quote for you. i know my rights, so you are going to need a warrant for that. they evenent went further to say aren't you sharp as a tack, you a lawyer or something. >> i would respectfully disagree.

it was the officer who said aren't you sharp as a tack or something. you should try for lawyer or something, so i got you on that. >> really. are they argue about jay zee's lyric where's, what do you make of that? >> that's funny. here's the deal. both of them were right, randy. canon had the line about the lawyer and the williams had the lyrics right, but my suggestion is they leave the hip-hop to the professionals. though they may think they are eminem and 50 cent, to this fellows, i say, not so much. >> well, i hope they're watching this morning because you'll probably get some emails from the two of them calling them not hip. john, thank you very much. great to see you. >> any time. >> all right. take a look at this. five starving artists sharing one guitar. well, actually it's the canadian band walk of the either showing off their skills at the south by southwest conference in austin, texas. look at that. that is so cool, but also kind of weird.

japan is remembering one year ago today when it faced an unbelievable triple disaster. a massive earthquake, a devastating tsunami and nuclear crisis. since march 11th, 2011, japan has been struggling to recover. we want to show you some pretty stunning before and after pictures that really show what japan has been through. take a look here on the left of your screen there. an image taken just one week after the tsunami. the man is surrounded by what's left of his home. you can see it's just debris. then to your right 12 months later, that same street. pretty remarkable. here in the same stricken city on the left, you see a woman looking at her ruined street one week after the tsunami tore through there. you can see the boat washed ashore, and then to the right the same street, some buildings gone, but so is the ship and so is the debris. and now look at this from the city of minamasaruku where, in

the second image the same street this month. the rubble is completely gone. the area looks deserted and eerily empty. days after the tsunami struck, a woman digs mud out of what was left of her house. you can see a boat stuck in the debris behind her. one year later the debris is gone. the boat is still there. it all started when a powerful 9.0 earthquake struck at 2:46 local time off japan's coast. at that moment no one knew what would happen next. cnn eye reporters captured history for us. take a look. >> it is still going. oh, my god. the building is going to fall. >> the ground was shaking so much. it was unreal. i can't describe it. it was -- it felt like someone was just pulling you back and

forth like side to side as hard as they could. >> it just blew up. whoa. whoa. this is crazy. >> you couldn't even stand up. i mean, literally at the peak of these waves that were washing over the ground, you literally could not stay on your feet. >> we have earthquake right now, and this is actually moving. can you see the crack is moving. >> been awake about 35 hours, and that's because every time i lie down to go to sleep or rest, there's a big aftershock. >> i reporter aaron lace who was attending a college graduation at a theater in tokyo when the earthquake hit, and, aaron, just describe for us the moment of the earthquake when all of this essentially pandemonium broke

out. >> it was an absolute horrific event, obviously, because lives were lost. the aftershocks are coming extremely regularly. they're coming literally every hour at least, and they're coming in doses that are extremely strong, and it's something that you would not wish upon your worst enemy. and the way the japanese people in a dignified manner and in an absolute civilized manner have handled the aftermath of this. there has been absolutely no loss of law or order. no loss of any kind of civilized decorum of a people. >> you can see my house looks like a bomb hit it. you can see there's some damage here. all my pictures are screwed up.

my kitchen is a little bit in disarray. i think we're okay there. my wife's office is pretty much destroyed. more people might be lining up at apple stores to get their hands on the new ipad. instead of waiting for it to arrive at their home. details on a shipping delay, though, just ahead. >> i'm dr. sanjay gupt gupta, and this morning we're going to look at how to keep your memory sharp and possibly even hold off alzheimer's disease. i have learned there are simple things you can do that are proven to work, and i'll share them with you. that and more at the bottom of the hour. ,, yoyou u cacameme t to o ththe. bebecacaususe e heherere a at, wewe'r're e ononlyly a abob. fifindndining g yoyou u ththe e isis a allll w we e do. wewelclcomome e toto h hot. the progresso chicken noodle you made is so good. it's got tender white meat chicken. the way i always made it for you. one more thing.... those pj's you like, i bought you five new pairs. love you.

nearly 70 million people have watched the 30 minute youtube video called kony 2012. the organization that produced it says the goal is to stop joseph kony. he is a warlord who has kidnapped thousands of kids, raped them, and taught them to kill their own parents in uganda. >> arresting joseph kony will prove that the world we live in has new rules, that the technology that has brought our planet together is allowing us to respond to the problems of

our friends. >> evelyn, a survivor, escaped kony's lord's resistance army when she was just 13. while in captivity, an explosion actually blew off part of her face, which impeedz her speech today. she shares some of her thoughts about the video with our don lemon. >> i feel really hurt because i don't know. it's not easy to be a survivor, but i'm glad i was able to escape. maybe the purpose is why i am sitting here, and it's very painful for me to hear that joseph kony is right now in the united states, and i ask myself what is -- the kids -- joseph kony right now is no longer in uganda. he is no longer in sudan. he is in democratic republic of congo. on the video what i didn't like

about it on what i saw, they're still concluding uganda, and they're supposed to be focused more in the congo is where the issues still continue there. >> and next hour we'll talk with an international journalist who says kony 2012 is misrepresenting what's really happening in uganda. she'll explain why she believes the campaign could be doing more harm than good for the cause. also coming up at 8:00 a.m., uganda isn't the only place where women and children have fallen victim to war criminals like joseph kony. i'll speak to a member of a u.n. refugee agency for a dloers look at the worldwide problem and what is being done today to try and end it. then at 7:00 p.m. tonight don lemon will speak with invisible children co-founder and film nar ator about the video's sudden fame and the controversy that has come along with it.

from cnn center, this is cmn sunday morning. it is sunday, march 11th. good morning, everyone. glad you are with us. i'm randy kay. breaking news out of afghanistan where a u.s. service member is detained for shooting civilians. we'll have a report from the capital of kabul. it's been one year since a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit japan and a huge debris field that is it still out of the ocean. where will it hit? and companies and retailers could be tracking where you shop on-line and even what you buy. guess what they do next. they adjust their prices accordingly. breaking news now out of afghanistan. a u.s. service member has been

detained after opening fire on civilians in the province of kandahar. let's bring in sara sidner. she's in the capital city of kabul. what can you tell us about what happened? >> reporter: randy, there's a lot of conflicting reports coming out of afghanistan, depending on which side you speak to. isaf says one person, one soldier was involved in this incident. it was not a part of any official mission. that the soldier acted on his own, walked off the base, went out into the public domain and ended up opening fire on civilians. several civilians were wounded, and those civilians are being cared for at a coalition medical facility. now, that is isaf's version of what has happened. we've now heard from the taliban and from a villager who was many the area who both claimed that there was actually more soldiers in the area in western kandahar province, and that it resulted in the death of several people. the taliban is claiming 50

people were killed, though they often exaggerate the numbers of casualties. the person that we were able to speak with who went into that village said that there were several bodies that he did not count, but saw several bodies in the backs of trucks, including men and children. that story, however, is being disputed by isaf who was saying this was a single soldier who acted on his own, left the base, and committed this incident and then came back to the base and turned himself in. there is an investigation, obviously, that is going on now with nato officials and afghan officials, and we're hoping to hear more on that investigation in the coming hours. randy. >> and, sara, this is especially concerning that it happened in kandahar because that is also the site where the u.s. troops mistakenly burned the koran, and there was much violence following that. do you think we can expect more violence now as a result of this? >> we are certainly already seeing the taliban saying that, you know, this is another incident that shows that the

coalition forces should get out of afghanistan as soon as possible. you're certainly going to hear more pressure from groups asking for coalition forces to leave sooner than later. this could result in more violence, and we've seen other things happening, and it comes after several incidents. one, u.s. soldiers with the photos of them urinating on afghan bodies, afghan casualties. this comes after, like you mentioned, the koran burning where u.s. soldiers mistakenly burned koran and other religious materials that sparked protests, particularly in kandahar, and also, kandahar, this area, where this allegedly happened basically is an area known to be a very strong presence of taliban in the area, and it's seen a lot of action. there's a lot of anger that we were hearing from the villager who went in and said that he believes people are being lied to about what happened, but, again, we're hearing from isaf that they're pretty add mabt this is one person acting alone, and it's very difficult on the ground there to know exactly what's going on. we have seen no video or no

pictures from that area depicting what may have happened, so we're still waiting to see if any of that comes down as well, randy. >> sara sidner in kabul watching this. sara, thank you. people in japan gathered to mourn and reflect and pray today. exactly one year ago the country endured a triple nightmare that stunned the world. >> first a magazinesive undersea earthquake -- it actually shifted the earth's abbing yis it was so powerful, and what happened next was even worse. >> the quake triggered a giant tsunami. the towering wave washed away nearly everything in its path. [ screaming ]

>> terrified residents flet fled in panic as the wall of water chased them, and then this amateur video. that man screaming at others to get it higher ground before the wave swallows them. zimplgt the tsunami crippled the fukushima daiichi power plant sparking a meltdown and unleashing dangerous radiation that forced thousands to flee. the quake and tsunami killed nearly 16,000 people and levelled entire towns. the disaster caused at least $300 billion in damage. one year later japan is still actually trying to recover. one of the hardest hit cities was ashinomaki on the tsunami battered coast. our reporter is there for us today for the remembrances. >> reporter: 2:46 local time here in japan to mark what

happened a year ago. people here say it was an extraordinarily important moment. they wanted to turn the page. they wanted to mark this date and then try to look ahead to the future. can you see all the trouble behind me. it is massive, and it goes on for miles, and it is this way along 350 square miles of coastline here in northeastern japan that is still flattened. there's still no rebuilding, and a lot of people here are hoping that the coming years will certainly be better than this last one they've seen, randy. >> compared to the others, that really was one of the hardest hit areas. >> it absolutely was because the area that i'm standing in right now and it's a little too dark to show you right now, but it was completely flattened. the entire downtown is gone. people still are wandering

through here and there's still nothing here. there are no homes. there are no businesses. what happened in this town was that the entire infrastructure went away along with the homes and the lives here. you're absolutely right. it was very hard hit because for many people they lost absolutely everything, including their loved ones. >> and as you talked to people there, i mean, do they have any hope that their community, their town will eventually be rebuilt? >> it really depends on who you speak with. there are some people who are optimistic, but they have to look many years down the line. there are talks of seven, eight, ten year rebuilding plans. this is not going to happen very quickly, so people who say, yes, we're optimistic, but they're looking ten years down the road. they're not optimistic about tomorrow. the people who are thinking about tomorrow, they've left this area, and that's really one of the big challenges for communities here along the northeastern coast is trying to

keep the survivors here. there is no clearing away the rubble because people have given up on those communities. >> thank you very much. now to politics. rick santorum is celebrating another big win this morning. he won yesterday's kansas caucuses, picking up twice as many votes as republican rival mitt romney. he also picked up 33 more delegates along the way. the candidates are all now looking to tuesday's primaries and caucuses, which could be the make or break day. alabama and mississippi both have primaries, while american samoa and hawaii have the caucuses. zirjts political reporter shannon trast is in over willed park, kansas, and he has much more for us. shannon. >> reporter: senator rick santorum was expected to win the kansas caucuses, and he did that. he will get the lion's share of the 40 delegates at stake here in this contest. the senator wasn't here in kansas when the results were

announced. he was in missouri, but take a listen to him talking about his win in this kansas contest. >> we honestly hope to. we're doing well out here in the midwest. >> do you have any thoughts on kansas? >> great win. awesome win. feeling great. >> the santorum campaign is going one step further. hogan, who is santorum's national communications director said this is a great win for the campaign and further evidence that conservatives and tea party loyalists are uniting behind rick as the true consistent conservative in this race. the santorum campaign certainly hopes that's the case as they move ahead, look ahead towards tuesday's contest and mississippi and alabama, they certainly hope to do well, although there are some polls suggesting that santorum has an uphill climb. one other thing of note, hawaii also has a contest on tuesday, and santorum is sending his eldest daughter, elizabeth, there to campaign. shannon travis, cnn, overland park, kansas. >> thank you, shannon. well, if you shop on-line,

15 dead there in that shooting. as we've been telling you this morning, a u.s. service member lab detained in this shooting. our sara sidner is watching this for us. as soon as we can get her to give us new information, more information that she's been gathering from her sources well, will bring her to you and bring that information to you. just again, we can confirm 15 killed in this incident from the kandahar government office. a delegation has been sent to investigate the incident, and from the u.s. embassy, 15 killed and wounded. the united states from the u.s. embassy saying that it extends its deepest condole ens from the families of the victims of today's tragic shooting in the kandahar province. we'll keep an eye on this, and we'll get new information to you as soon as we can. meanwhile, in other news, if you shop on-line, you'll want to listen to this. every month i go to the same website to buy my vitamins, so this next story, well, it got me pretty concerned. it turns out that there is actually a growing trend

on-line. it's called behavioral pricing. companies and retailers could be tracking where you shop on-line and what you buy and then, guess what they do next. they actually adjust their prices maybe even hike their prices. for example, if they know i'm going to buy my monthly vitamins, they could hike up the price because they know i'm a loyal customer and i'll buy them. i spoke to our financial analyst collide anderson and tech columnist and digital marketer to find out exactly how it works. >> they're really looking to see -- they discriminate basically on what you are buying on-line. they track you to determine exactly what you are buying, so your behaviors on-line will determine how much they charge you for certain goods or services. snoo so this has been going on, what, for some time? >> it's been going on for some time. really the technology was used to look at your competitors and see what they were charge and make sure you were charged accordingly or maybe beating their prices so you could track the competition. now they're really tracking you more. it's really developing. in 2012 it's becoming huge. >> it's very big brotherish. >> very. >> yeah. let me bring you in here. you believe that this behavioral

pricing on-line is in its infant stage, but why is that, and where do you see it going over the next few years? >> so over the last few years we've seen two real trends emerge. on one hand, we're seeing all this data being stored about you in on-line data ebanks, so who you are, demographics, what you do on-line, what do you tweet? this is being repackage and sold to advertisers so they can better target ads to. at the same time, like collide clyde said, companies are getting smart about how do they optimize their prices on-line, and it's tempting over the next few years to take all of this data we have about you in data ebanks and better price your products. for example, let's say you've been tweeting about how excited you are to go to a trip to miami and soak up the sun. they're going to know you are willing to pay more money for a trip to miami. >> and also say -- whatever -- are you telling me that i shouldn't like anything or anything on face look as well? is that an example of how these companies can be tracking you? >> sure. so it's definitely a possible

way it could happen. it's still very -- we're not sure how this is going to develop. last week we saw a really interesting example of actually a good side of this where clout, which is a start-up which analyzes how influential you are in social media, partnered with guilt, a luxury shopping site, and gave you discounts for how influential you are on social media. it really cuts both ways. >> so, clyde, do you think -- should we question every price we see? >> i think you should. just as you were in the store and you are looking at prices, you compare prices, and one price may be different when you are logging on from one computer versus another computer now. that's what we really have to look at. the whole thing comes down to data is so key right now. so he who holds the gold makes the rule, and the gold right now is the data. they're setting the prices. >> i find this kind of creepy, actually. is this sort of similar to or the same thing when you say i surf for -- i do an internet search for looking to buy a couch or something, and then on my next page i'm looking at something else, but all of a sudden there's an ad for a furniture store. is that the same type of

tracking that's going on? >> absolutely. this is cookie-based tracking, right? looking at how you interacted on-line and then taking the information and target ads to you better, and now we're going to start seeing that being used for pricing. if you are looking at couches a lot, the new competitor site, they're going to take that information in and decide how to price you based on that. >> and, alan, is there any way for a consumer to know that i'm -- that they're being tracked? >> yes. so there's a lot of resources, including browser which can show you what cookies are tracking you right now. if people want to check it out. there's one by mozilla firefox that will show you what cookies are tracking your behavior and where they're sending that information. >> and our thanks so clyde and alan on that one as well. we want to just let you know. we are watching this shooting in kandahar in the province there in afghanistan. 15 dead and wounded we're being told from the kandahar government. a u.s. service member has been detained. we'll have the latest for you right after this break. the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets,

updating the breaking news from afghanistan where u.s. service member has been detained after opening fire on civilians. sarah sidner is in the capital city, kabul, with new information for us. sara, bring us up-to-date. >> reporter: a couple of things. one, the u.s. embassy saying that they are actually looking into the facts of this case. isaf has been saying that, yes, there is an investigation going ownering but the latest thing is coming from the government of kandahar. their media office has sent us a bit of a confusing e-mail saying that 15 people killed and wounded. what wear trying to determine now is if it's 15 people total and some of them have died and some of them are wounded, we have not been able to get that information just yet, but we are

getting word now from afghan government sources in kandahar saying that there were definitely some deaths and some people who were wounded. this is being investigated as we said earlier, and there is one u.s. member of the services that has been detained, and the isaf officials are saying this person acted alone. the taliban is refuting that saying this was a part of a larger mission with more people involved, but isaf refuting those statements from the taliban, but right now what we're hearing is from the kandahar government that 15 people killed and wuned were trying to get a more specific on exactly the true number of dead and wounded, but clearly now we're getting some official word from the government in afghanistan that there are some people who have died in this incident involving a u.s. member of the troops. >> and, sara, with the service member now being detained, i mean, is there any word coming out at all in a possible motive or possibly how many other

troops might have been with this u.s. service member at the time? >> reporter: yeah. officials being very adamant that it was one person acting on their own, left the base, went out, opened fire, and then came back and turned themselves in, but the motive is very unclear. i this he that is what the investigation is trying to ascertain. exactly what was behind this. why it happened, and that's what they are in the middle of now. >> and why is this such a sensitive area? just remind us why kandahar is so sensitive. >> very sensitive for many reasons. this is where the u.s. soldiers accidentally burned -- or u.s. troop members accidentally burned korans and other religious materials. that blew up. there were protests all over the place. many people killed, including members of the united states. you also saw scenes of violence just among afghans who are angry about what had happened. this is also in a place where

the taliban is known to be -- to be in large numbers. a place that's seen a lot of action. a place that is sort of very easily -- he'sly injured when it comes to this sort of thing. they see this. a lot of people in the area. we spoke with the villager there. they really believe that they're being lied to. they believe that u.s. troops and the coalition forces should go out of afghanistan. the taliban being pretty adamant that they believe there are many people killed that civilians were targeted and the taliban tends to exaggerate numbers. they're saying 50 people were killed. we have not been able to confirm that number with anyone, including the afghan government, but a lot of tension in that area as you know, and there has been a lot of action by coalition forces. this is not at all good news. the u.s. embassy has said that they're very saddened to see some of the afghani civilians killed, that this is, you know, a terrible thing to have happened, and that they are sorry about this incident. they're continuing to look into

it. >> i know you have lots of work to do, and some work in your sources there as well. sara sidner, thank you very much. we'll be back after this. n see g more clearly. ♪ i can organize the analysis. sort through all the data. maybe even rattle some cages. i predict that i'm going to like the future. because the future is where i'll be serving up humble pie. a la mode.
