yemen's information minister says there's a cease-fire agreement between rebel fighters the houthis, and government after a morning of gunfight. there's been shooting outside the presidential administration building after the government closed roads following the kidnapping of the president's chief of staff a couple days ago. officials are concerned this may be an attempted coup des-- attempted coup. despite the agreement, gunfire could still be heard. isis militants have released 250 cities they've held captive for years in iraq. officials are caring for children and the elderly. it's one of iraq's smallest minorities. and european ministers have begun arriving in brussels. they're scheduled to meet to discuss the fight against terrorism. europe is of course, on high alert in the wake of the recent attacks in paris including a failed terror plot in belgium, as well. ukraine's military says it has regained full control of
11:32 pm
donetsk airport. rebels had seized it a few weeks ago in their fight to control parts of eastern ukraine. the fighting comes as many march for peace in kiev on sunday. ukraine's president and prime minister were at the rally held in the memory of the 13 passengers killed when shelling hit their bus near donetsk. for more on the situation in ukraine, we're joined from washington, d.c. the expert in these matters from american university. let's start with the airport in donetsk. the control towers clapped, term -- collapsed, terminals and runways beyond recognition. what is the significance of the airport? why is it so important to both sides? >> so far the airport's been used by the ukrainian military over the past year to launch bombardments of donetsk and its surrounding areas. and that's why the rebels have been trying so hard to retake it. and it sound like they almost
11:33 pm
succeeded. and now the ukrainian army sounds like it's launched the counterattack. and it's reporting that it's retaken the airportment so the -- the battle lines are back to where they were for the past several months. >> they may be back to where they were but the ukrainian president on sunday said ukrainian forces would retake separatist regions in the east. why now? what's the calculation? is it because russia is hurting economically, the price of oil's down -- >> it sounds like it although it's ultimately difficult to see how the ukrainian army is actually going to achieve this goal. they failed miserably over the past year. and it's unlikely that things will turn in their favor now because the previous mobilizations that took place in ukraine in order to send troop to fight in the east met with protests all over the country. and it's hard to see if the situation is going to change
11:34 pm
dramatically. i think this is more of a p.r. tactic than it is a serious plan. >> so do you think this will be some kind of escalation or tell settle into this -- an elevated level of conflict if you like, between both sides with slins caught in the middle? -- civilians caught in the middle? >> i think unfortunately this is what's going to happen. it looks like if the airport has been retaken, the battle lines one drawn again where they were before. and i don't see the ukraineian army has the organization or the wherewithal to make a major breakthrough. i think unfortunately it's more of the same in the coming weeks and months. >> the problem is we had the truce between both sides last year which never went into effect the collapse. and now the reports that russian forces are amassing once again on the border testing new weapons. it seems despite putin's troubles he has continued to the rebel separatists.
11:35 pm
>> the russians have been supporting them for the past few months. at least morally. it's still unclear whether russian troops are on eastern or southeastern ukrainian territory. it's unclear whether the russian army is actually amassing on the border. most of news is out of kiev. a lot of strange news has been coming out of kiev the past few months. so i guess we'll have to wait and see for satellite imagery and for the osce which is the only international organization on the ground and has failed to actually corroborate massive incursions into ukrainian territory. >> yeah. it is always difficult. it is always sometimes impossible to know what's happening especially in the east there. thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> okay. literally as i speak, pope francis is flying home now after a rainy and windy weekend in the philippines. children, you see them in yellow they performed for the pope at the airport in manila

11:40 pm
tells me that among those six dead is a man in his early 20s. deeply significant because he's the son of one of hezbollah's most notorious commanders. the fact that israel is able to hit key leadership like this if in fact they knew that was their target shows potential for intelligence being quite good on israel's side. the question is what is hezbollah's reaction. a fragile peace between lebanon and israel. hezbollah key to that. we are, of course expecting some sort of reaction from them public publicly, some statement about this. all eyes watching as to whether they have the resources to retaliate against israel. they are engaged on a number of fronts across the middle east now assisting other shia militia or governments and deep concern over potential escalation of yet

communication with miss israel. she went on to say, i was having a photo with miss japan, miss slovenia and myself. suddenly miss israel jumped in, took a selfie. she put it on social media. this is what happened and i hope to have your full support in the miss universe contest." she will not be winning miss congeniality. ornize verse yet to comment -- organizers have yet to comment. the unemployments for theth 87th academy awards are out. as usual there are snubs. >> a big story that keeps going. there's been a lot of criticism this year. earlier i spoke to kim serafin, editor of "in touch weekly" about the favorite films and those which did not make the list. kim, the oscar nominations are out. and there's a lot of talk about those who didn't get one. in particular the cast and director of "selma." every year people miss out. is this any different? >> yeah, you're right. every year there are snubs.
11:52 pm
that's always a fun thing to talk about, the snubs and surprises. this year i think there's a big issue here. a lot of people expected "selma" to get more nominations. did get nominated for best picture, but it didn't get best director. and this would have been historic the first african-american female to be nominated. would have been nice to see a female nominated. there haven't been very many female nominations. one fail winner -- one female winner in the past. angelina jolie didn't get nominated for "unbroken." and the performance as king king he didn't get nominated. it was across the board, it seemed it missed the mark. looking at the nominees, what people are talking about, people on twitter, all the nominees all the acting nomeries -- nominees are white. there's a lack of diversity that people are upset about. especially because last year "12 years a slave" dominated. seems a stark contrast from last year. >> one of the issue around "selma" is the portrayal of president johnson. this weekend "the new york

times" columnist wrote this "there was no need for duvernay to diminish lbj," the director "given that the civil rights movement will not have advanced women him. there were vile white villains. there was no need to create a faux one." is there one of the reasons for the snub? >> it could have been. obviously the historical inaccuracies have been talked about. there were op-eds written about them. this happens every year with the oscars especially if it's a true story. it's campaigning, like a political race. people campaign they throw thing at different film out there because of whether the story is true. i mean, this goes back to a beautiful mind. even think about that film. anything about a true story. there's always going to be charges against it. it could have been as simple as the screeners of the movie not getting out to the guilds in time. the studio didn't get the screeners of the movie out to people in the directors guild, screen actors guild in time. they did send them to the oscars. and when you miss the mark with a lot of the guilds didn't get
11:54 pm
nominated for the guild unemployments, by the oscars it kind of had -- guild nominations, by the oscars, it kind of had missed the mark. >> a great movie despite the oscar snub. one movie this was not snubbed, "american sniper." six nominations. that may have helped it break pretty big box office records. >> a huge opening this weekend for "american sniper." enormous. of course starring bradley cooper who famously gained 40 pounds of muscle for the role. yeah huge opening weekend. made about $90 million for the three-day weekend. estimated to make $105 million for the four-day weekend. breaking all sorts of martin luther king weekend records, january records, beating "avatar's" record from january. 8 million, beating -- 68 million, beating the kevin hart opening movie, $48 million. the best clint eastwood opening ever. it goes on and on. the amount of money this movie is making. this is the kind of money you
11:55 pm
see made in summer movies. the 4th of july moves. not normally a january movie making $100 million. this is enormous. and this obviously help its oscar chances, too. i think this is momentum for this movie. >> again, another great movie to catch up on. finally happy birthday to betty white. there was a special tribute for this 93-year-old from her co-stars. >> yeah. betty white, she keeps getting younger. doesn't seem like she gets older. huge birthday tribute for betty white. and there's a video of it. let's take a look. ♪ [ applause ] >> happy birthday, betty! [ cheers ] >> yes, that's betty white celebrating her birthday. like every 93-year-old celebrates their birthday. a flash mob of hula dancers on the set. this is great. i love. she's clapping along and dancing and having a blast. and you know she just again, gets award after award after award. and she gets better every year.
11:56 pm
can't wait for her next tv series and award. >> i love betty white. but she does look older. okay, thank you. kim serafin in l.a. >> thank you very much. partly the reason they did the hula is because every day betty white is greeted by her assistant on the set of "hot in cleveland" doing the hula. >> i did not know that. i highly recommend people see "selma." i saw it a couple of weeks ago. it is a fantastic film. and david's performance was great. okay. we'll have more news after the break. i'm zain asher. >> i'm john vause. stay with us. back in a moment. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪
