it is good to see heart warming moments before 41 and 43. weigh in on all of the topicings on twitter. have a great weekend, everybody. hello, everybody. i am uma, live in washington. an arrest in this week's ricin letter scare. a mississippi martial arts instructor is in custody accused of sending the ricin-laced letters to president obama and footworks. efvet dutschke wased this morning. >> uma, 41 year old everett dutschke was arrested on unspecified chargings. he was taken without incident in tupelo, mississippi.

authorities say it is connection with the ricin-laced letter to president obama and senator wick yer a judge. dutschke went in hiding after his home was searched. his attorney hasn't made public comments about her client today. earlier in the week she had said he had no involvement. we heard similar statements from dutschke. >> the people who know me know i don't have anything to do with this. >> and quite frankly people who don't know, know that this is just crazy and insane. >> this as we learn of an ongoing feud between him and paul kevin curtis. he is a person taken in custody earlier in the investigation. later, all charge were dropped. dutschkeam first surfaced when curtis' attorney said her client framed.

the letters addressed to senator wicker and obama were retrieved and flagged in an off site mai facility before reaching their intended victims. >> turning to a developing story, the boston marathon bombing system sits in a prison hospital as investigators are trying to piece together the plot that killed people and injured others. they are looking at home and abroad. there is new information on tsarnaev's mother. f.b.i. sifting through a land fill where the 19 year old was a soft - sophomore. there is more on the latest on the investigation. david lee? >> uma, it is the first weekend that bolton street has been open to the public since the twin blasts took place nearly two weeks ago. take a look now over my shoulder, can see locals

and tourist alike here in copley square and observing the makeshift memioral and consisting of flowers and flags and hand painted signs and many people taking their time and walking through the memorial and rememberingme blast that took place only a few feet from where they are now standing. as the community continues to recover, the investigation continues and during the last few days the f.b.i. is searching a landfall by university of massachusetts near dartmouth. authorities would not say what they are looking for. one f.b.i. source told the associated press that investigators are searching for and i quote for everything imaginable . coming under scutiny is the mother of the bombers, 18 months before the attack

herself and her son were put on the list of terrorist ties. she said her two boys were innocent. 19 year old dzhokhar tsarnaev spent his first night in the federal medical center. he was relocated from beth israel where many of the blasts victims are treated some what uncomfortable as being in the same facility as the attacker. the new location is more secure. financial help is on the way for many of those injured in the blast. a fund called the one fund has amassed 26 million dollars in contributions it is expected that some of those checks will be distributed to those who need the money by the end of june. this evening uma, a special benefit concert will take place here. the boston city singers will

be participating andhe members of the choir martin richards who was one of the three people killed in the explosion. >> it is it a move emotional event. david lee thank you for the up date. >> there are still a lot of unanswered questions. this week i had a chance to answer former homeland security chief tom ridge if he thinks that the federal government could have stopped the bomber? >> it appears that there a lack of coordination and communication. what i don't know and what we need to learn is whether or not they had the protocols that connected them. they had a database that the f.b.i. sent their information to the terrorist database and the customs and border protection and c.i.a. sent typeset to another database . you kind of wonder if we are data rich and judgment poor?

itsture to judge, but it is important that we judge severely and if there are gaps, they need to be closed it is troubling to anybody. >> the c.i.a. said they had the elder brother on the database for 18 months or so. do you think that that is a sign that they just didn't take russian intelligence seriously enough . there is a judgment call there. >> i can't speak for why it was taken offer of the list. and again it is the context. let's just frame this. one of the questions i was asked if i was in congress or secretary of homeland security, remind everybody. they only get information they are supervised in the alphabet. but how many phone calls did you get from the russian service counter parts and former kgb? how many phone calls from them

that month about a potential terrorist tie in the united states? if you get thousand and thousands of callings. in tha context alone in myial. judgment, would make me do more digging than just making an inquiry. >> is it premature to say that the f.b.i. for example, drop happened the ball? >> it is. i think that again, the context, what information do they have. i know they are saying we interviewed him and couple of the people around him. but the question is how unis -- unusual is it and frequently does the russian government and service organization and law enforcement call you and say keep your eyes on this guy, we think he is a ter >> and the issue of reading the miranda rights. >> right. >> how do you feel about the

way the events unfold would so far? >> first of all, i strongly believe that the public safety exception to the miranda rule appropriately applied. they could have continued the interrogation and they didn't and they had enough evidence to convict him not with stanteding any statement and it would not jeopardize a conviction. under those circumstances they have him on tape . if you insist on trying in criminal court. that is it a point much view . you have enough to convict him and why not let them play the exception out. >> and do you think we have lost vital information on the way? >> there is it an entire possibility . you don't spend six months over there . you conclude, we don't know . we need to find out if anybody over there, and i got to believe that if the russians had identified him to our government they may have been

aware of him when he returned and did they fol him or keep their eyeos him, don't know. i think in the end of the day, the bigger picture is people in this country whoike these terrorist, they blended right in to a sophisticated international community, boston and contempary ways and hats on backward and backpack and involved in schools and young guy smoking marijuana and his older brother is a boxer and integrated and no one thinking of any signs. no body. the only sign we had was a warn from this russian government and why that was not enough to do a little bit more is one of the questions that needs to be answered. >> our thank togs tom ridge. >> an incredible discovery in ground zero. the landing gear from 9/11 was

discovered in manhattan more than a decade attack. it is feet feet and wedged between a mosque and apartment building. the twisted part included a visible boeing identification number. they are working with ntsb to determine if it was from the american plane or united jet that slammed in the twin towers. >> north korea raising further concerns in a tense arena with the united states with plans that it plan to put americans on trial for plans to overthrow the pyonggang. he has been under arrest and detained since last november. if convicted he could face the death penalty. he is a devout christian with frequent travel to north korea to help feed those nation's orphans. he is the sixth to be detained. all were either eventually

released or deported. >> turning now to a developing story where house republicans finally had the chance to look at a 43 page report from five congressional committees about the events that led to a tragic attack on the americans in bengazi. findingings confirm what many leaders say. decision to scale back security in the bengazi libya outpost went all the way up to secretary of state hillary clinton. joining us now is representative dowdy. welcome and thank you for being here. nthank you for hin me. >> the report said state department officialings knew that the threat environment in bengazi high, and that the bengazi compound was vulnerable and unable to with stand an attack and officials

continue to with draw security personal. are you any closer to finding out why they did that? >> are we any closer? by the process of elimination we can tell you they didn't do that. it had nog to do with money. it is not congress's failure to fund it. the decision, i can tell you this. the decision to not augment security. that went to the highest levels of the state department. whether or not security clinton had actul or constructive knowledge of it, i can't prove yet. i can prove this to you though, she should have. she is the head of the state department and there were repeated requests from the bass - embassador himself. there were repeat of violence. we were the last western

target. red cross had left and british had left. i think i can prove they were under actul notice that an attack imminent. kiprove to you that a reasonably prudent person would have been under constructive notice that something bad was about to happen. >> that begs the question. have you found out answers why our ambassador was there knowing thalt region was clearly unsafe? >> i think it had to do with perpetuating a myth that everything okay in libya and our foreign policy going along swimmingly. who you concede that a region is dominated by terrorism, that is a failure of your foreign policy. i can tell you this. there are more are hadingogs bengazi that are coming and i would encourage you and your viewer to follow them closely

and they are coming quickly. not to repeat what you and others have said. we sent them to serve. the least we can do find out the circumstances of their death and make sure we bring honor to their deaths and live up to the principles they espouse and believed in. you touched on the failure of security. we need to find out what happened in the siege itself and why aid was not sent and thirdly what we are going to find out. we know what susan said was false. there is not a person left in the western hemisphere believes what she said accurate. was she grossly negligent or whether it was an intentional misleading and secondly, there remains the prospect the administration's decision to blame it on a video may have

impacted negour to get answers in the aftermath. >> are these hearingings- hearings are explosive will you expect witnesses at the scene and have not been made public to this point may be coming forward to testify? >> uma, i am bound by certain measures of confidentiality. but you are getting warm shall we just say that. >> we are saying the information is explosive and that these hearingings are coming sooner than later. tyrone woods father is in washington and not a republican and democrat and doesn't care about politics. hement to make sure his son's death and service and saife have meaning . that means those of us in positions of oversight and

authority need to get answers. i understand the motivation that the department of state would have to protect itself, but uma, there is a reason that we don't let kids grade their own papers in school ands sentence themselves in court . the state department should not investigate whether state department did a good job. it is going to be congress. >> i am out of time. i have to ask you, when you say explosive, can you elaborate in any way in termless of information that we will hear about? >> if this a trial, you can't use hear say and you can't say what other people would have said and heard. drict - direct evidence and testimony is the compelling form of testimony and evidence . i would hope that if anyone has direct evidence and testimony, they would contact the oversight committee .

we'll make counsel available to them and so there is it no punishment for them being forth come being. i am a lawyer, but trust me when i say that you want to follow the hearings that are coming up. >> congressman, breaking news for us. appreciate it and now the latest in the fall out from the horrific explosion in a texas explosion plant. damages say it would cost more than $100 million to restore the area. that is based on the number of homes destroyed, the property those homes and the cost of relocating ris rez in the area. the blast killed 14 people and injurying hundreds more. there is no answer to what caused the blast. >> week of flight delays was

enough to convince congress to take action. the news of the furlough and now they will be heading back to work after lawmakers approve would legislation and giving the faa an out. that has others crying no fair and looking for loop holings. molly henningberg joins us with more on theall out. >> republicans say that the obama administration wanted air travelers to feel the pain of the sequester and president obama contends that republicans realize that sequester was a bad idea all along. president obama will sign a bill allocating more money for the federal aviation administration to aleviate the long wait that is flyers are experiencing this week. the president said it is a temporary fix. >> these cutses will fall in the government that provide vital services for the

american people. we can't keep putting band aids on every cut. there is only one way to truly fix the sequester, by replacing it before it causes future damage. >> house republicans have replaced two bills but haven't gone anywhere in the senate. the chairman said the obama administration claimed that its hands were tied with regarding the flight delays and the faa could have cut spending elsewhere. >> the faa imposed blank across the board furloughs and causing extensive delays. why? >> so many thought inflict being pain on the public would give the president leverage to avoid making necessary spending cuts and pose takes hikes. >> it comes to a budget battle and battle over taxings. >> very interesting. thank you, molly. >> still to come.
