tsarnaev. all of that unfolding over the course now one year ago. one thing they also mentioned today that was so important was the outpouring from around the world. the one fund bringing in millions and millions of dollars. >> thank you, mollie. i'm gretchen karlson. thank you for being part of "the real story." now let's go to shepard smith. >> here on the news deck we're watching the case of two paroled sex offenders who cops say murdered women while wearing their gps tracking devices. why investigators say there could be more bodies still out there. how did these guys apparently slip through the system? the deadline for filing taxes hits at mouth tonight -- at midnight tonight but there are several rules, the deductions that don't can't to the new tax break, jerri willis has good news about your tax return. how she got your tax return, i'm not sure. let's get to it.

good afternoon to you and yours. first from fox at 3:00 in new york city. we have new developments out of ukraine. a major gun battle marks a turning point in the crisis there. for the very first time since all of this began, ukrainian troops are striking back. finally making good on threats to stand up against the pro russian forces tearing apart the eastern part of the country. the ukrainian government reports troops took on gunmen and storms the airport. the firefight came hours after ukraine's acting president announced an anti-terror operation. pro russian forces have taken over government buildings in cities across eastern ukraine and western officials say tens of thousands of russian troops have gathered along ukraine's eastern border. the red line right near. not a good situation. western leaders blame president

vladimir putin for fueling the uprising. that's exactly what happened when putin took over crimea back in march. only this time, it appears ukraine's military is ready to put upk.p3ax a fight. the white house says it supports ukraine defending itself, but -- this is a big but -- it's warning that violence will not solve the crisis. >> we don't think there's a military solution to this crisis. this is a situation that needs to be resolved diplomatically and through a dialogue and negotiation, and that's true internally withins ukraine and true in terms of ukrainian-russian relations. >> president obama warned president pout -- president putin in a phone call to stand down but putin seemed to brush it all off. he said he's just trying to protect russian-speaking ukrainians from attacks. none of which fox news can find or confirm. but a united nations report

shows this isn't true at all. that reports of any threat to the russian speakers are, quote, greatly exaggerated. what's the truth? and oh serious is this? lea is live on the fox news deck. what are analysts saying? >> at this point the likely hood of military action is unclear. earlier today before the fighting started, russia's foreign minister said any military action by ukraine to resolve the situation would be unaccepteddable. listen. >> translator: you can't send in tanks against your own citizens and at the same time hold talks. i have said many times that the use of force in the southeast would sabotage the opportunity for the four-party negotiations to be held in geneva this week. >> those talks, which include the u.s., ukraine and russia are scheduled for thursday and at this point the's says they're still on. >> an opportunity to have a discussion, yes, certainly we are -- have expressed our concern about what has been

happening on the ground over the last couple of days. that doesn't mean we shouldn't -- we should not take an opportunity to have a diplomatic discussion. >> now, the state department says they do anticipate another round of sanctions but, shep, they suggest those won't happen until after thursday. >> doesn't sound like the united states, germany, anybody in europe or the west, is planning anything militarily here. >> at this point the u.s. -- basically the white house has been backing up ukraine's decision to use military force to defend themselves but say they don't plan to provide any lethal military aid. as for the other nato countries they're not considering military options but are getting ready. >> we believe the right way forward is to find a political and diplomatic solution. however, we are focused militarily on strengthening defense of our allies. that's our core task.

>> now meantime, hanger is rising in ukraine of -- anger is rising in ukraine over the situation. pro-activistsked two pro russian politicians in kiev and moscow says the attacks prove the presidential elections won't be fair or free or democratic. >> thank you very much. president obama's promising consequences if russia does not stand down, but as we all saw back in march, economic punishment did not stop president putin from taking over the crimean peninsula. what racings are left? as putin tests the patience in the world? i'll talk to p.j. crowley later. first two sex offender accused of raping andtqr=aq$ñ kg four women in southern california had gps tracking bracelets on their ankles the entire time. in other words they were supposed to be watching them. according to police all of that -- police say they're confident the men have killed at least one other woman, perhaps

even more. we have their mug shot. cop cans say courts had already convicted the men of sexually abusing children under the age of 14. they say the suspects have known each other since at least 2012 when the cut their ankle bracelets and hopped on a greyhound bus to vegas using fake names. the then spent two weeks at cirs circus hotel until the police found him. the victims in these cases are prostituteses. police found a nicked body of a woman on a conveyor belt in a trash-sorting facility in an anytime but have not found the bodies of threees1ñ other woman. cops say data from the ankle bracelets helped catch the suspects but investigators have not explained how the pair apparently managed to rape and kill again and again all while under supervision, trace gallagher has an update.

what are police saying. >> they're saying the two suspects apparently check in with their parole officers every single month and there was no reason for police to watch them anymore closely. but police do not explain why, if these two guys, two years ago, cut off their ankle bracelets together, hopped the bus to vegas and got caught, why police did not know they were spending a lot more time together recently, and police have confirmed the victims were all connected because they hung out on a boulevard in orange county well known for prostitution. the question is, did police know the two sex offenders were also spending time near that boulevard? listen to the mother of one of the victims followed by very few answer from the department of corrections. monitoring on them until earlier today. i'm not fond of it now. it seems it does not work.

>> we're not at liberty to speak on those, but, however, the questions are coming for to headquarters in sacramento, and as time permits or we're allowed to, they will respond. >> when sex offenders enter prohibited areas like schools or daycares the bracelets send out an alert. it's unclear if this boulevard, known for prostitutes, was among those prohibited areas. >> we know the gps data helped identify the suspects. >> once they recovered the body of the 21-year-old victim in that trash sorting facility, they had some forensic evidence. then they took the gps bracelet information and they compared it to some of the cell phone data they had from the victim, and police say it really was a lot more extensive than that but that got them going. it was an interdepartmental investigation that led to this thing. keep in mind the body was the big break in this case, shep.

we should also note that parole officers do not monitor gps bracelets in real-time. they monitor them after the fact, and then they kind of go over all the data to make sure they're in the right place at the right time. >> news from the future, change is coming. who dropped the ball sneer well, it wasn't the person who was supposed to be monitoring these guys, according to our next guest. he'll explain why and try to get to the bottom of how in the world this could have happened with big brother watching all the time. ♪

>> in this case these people had already proven they escaped the ankle bracelets and should have definitely been in jail. that's a problem beyond the problem we have. these folks are out there, should have been being tracked, weren't tracked, and killed several women. >> very little recourse against the government north surprisingly. >> unfortunately. >> thank you. out of control wildfires have killed 15 people, destroyed some 2500 homes, and they forced thousands of people to get out as the flames rage outside a capitol city. one newspaper is calling it a tidal wave of fire. now we're getting our first look at the disaster from space. rob has more of that up here. you can see this from satellites up there? is that what we're talking about? >> before i show you that illinois, i want to tell you what is happening. valpariso chile. here's the satellite image. all this smoke is -- you can see

the first day of underwater plane search went horribly wrong. the submarine searching for the missing plane quit after just a fewer -- after just a few hours. the subwas supposedly going to spend 16 hours mapping the ocean floor but after six hours, it just came up. after reaching its maximum depth of 15,000 feet, almost three miles -- in other words, 25 seattle space needles end-to-end -- it hovers above the ocean floor moves like a lawnmower, and is equipped with side scanners which use sound to

create a 3-d map, much like sonar does when you have a baby, you snow? on the first go-round officials say the sub entered an area that was too deep and it just came up to the top no sign of any plane. now it's going to try again. the "new york times" is reporting that officials from the united states and other nations are accusing the chinese of slowing down the investigation. for instance, earlier this month, the chinese official said they detected possible signals hundreds of miles from where they're searching now. so crews send out a search ship but didn't find anything. remember, china released satellite pictures of possible wreckage during the first week of this. it was nothing. captain tim taylor is here on the fox news deck. president of subsee services and located a u.s. navy sub that sank in world war ii. this isn't that unexpected what happened yesterday. >> no. this machine is doing exactly what it's programmed to do, and,

frankly, you're going to expect these aborts on the early dives. they have come bam with data what the bottom looks like, how deep it is because some of the sonarren ins from the ship conclude off by ten meters and that's very, very important because it has to be precise. >> it was deeper than they thought and the submarine can't just go down to its maximum depth and just hang out there. when it hits it i, it comes back. >> five to feign million dollar machine, designed to come home, tell you what it found out you reprogram it and then send it back. that's exactly what it's supposed to do and did exactly what it is supposed to do. >> today that i would have made some tweaks. >> and adjust the area. >> when it gets to the maximum depth, it's sounding out sound waves and looking for a -- >> it's shooting sound out to the side and mapping a swath, looking out a thousand meters or

more and running that area, and you get back an image from sound that what it looks like. >> but it has to be close because it moves about as fast as i do. >> has to be close to the bottom to get high resolution you have to get the camera close and this is a sound camera, and it has to get down close to take the picture. >> the matter of china, it seace reportings from china have not altered our search area. >> i don't they affected the search area but affected us%zñ?ñ getting to the searchmxñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?- yankee might have had more time. >> i'm the underwater guy, i can speculate, and seems to be ad in for an international type jacc to deal with this on a regular basis. a lot of international work.

>> if it's down there? >> it's going to see it and they'll send it down to take closer pictures and they can change they camera payload. the blue tip is rated to the depth it's rated. it can be farther than it's rated. another 4900 meters. so they can program it to go deeper, and that a risk they would take with a manufacturer and/or themselves but it can go a little deeper. we have hope of getting a little depth they're not covering now. >> captain tim taylor, thank you. exactly one year passed since two bombers targeted the boston marathon, a year ago today in this program, up thinkable images were crossing the screen. photographers in boston sent out raw video and we were in shock. ahead we'll look at how far that city and some survivors have come since that awful day. why one analyst says the situation in ukraine could soon

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis

unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

cram ma torques >> the bomb of the hour. a few moments ago they paused for a moment of silence at the finish of the boston marathon one year to the minute after two bombs ripped through the area, killed three people, and wounded more+m)m/p[ than 260 others. >> among the officials there the former and current mayors of boston, the governor of massachusetts, and the vice-president, joe biden. this just one of the series of planned events paying tribute to the victims and first responders and others who rushed to help

people with missing arms and legs and other terribly injured people. we have images showing how in of the survivors have been recovering after the attack and they are inspiring. that is adrian davis performing on stage for the first time after doctors removed part of her leg. leading grated whats at boston -- graduates at boston college leading graduation ceremonies. the attack wounded both. here's one. mary daniels taking her very first step during a fitting for a prosthetic leg. this happened in june. and here's james costello, dribbling a basketball during a physical therapy session. lots of physical therapy for so many people and some weddings have come of is. two survivors, rebecca and pete, getting married in north carolina earlier this month. vice-president biden said the courage of the survivors and

victims' relatives is an inspiration for other americans. >> they figure if they instill enough fear we will change. and it unfewer yates them that we refuse -- infuriates them we refuse to bend, refuse to change, refuse to yield to fear. you are boston strong. but america is strong. >> the vice-president in the last hour. president obama was set to pay tribute with a private moment of silence today at the white house. meantime, one of the brothers accused over inflicting so much anguish is dead. the other sits in apron cell waiting for his case to play out in court. he could face the death penalty. >> the man accused of gunning down three people at a jewish center on sunday made his appearance in kansas. prosecutors filed state murder charms against the suspect. they say he could get the death

penalty. courtroom observers say he poke only when answering routine questions and requested a court-appointed attorney. investigators say the suspect is a well-known white supremacist and a former klu klux klan leader with a long history of racism and antisemitism. even a former kkk member said the guy was a loose cannon and he wanted nothing to do with him because he might, quote, end up dead. the feds say there's enough evidence to treat the killings as a hate crime. mike is here. >> all we are heard from glenn cross, he doesn't have any money. in response to a question whether he would like a court-april a --court appointed corn. bond is $10,000. the outfit is a ripway outfit to prevent him from hanging sitter. the charms, first degree

premeditated murder carry a poem sentence of life with parole, meaning eligible for parole every 25 years. he is 73 years old. the other charge is capital murder for the deaths of reat underwood and his grandfather. that cares sentences of life without parole or the death penalty. prosecutors will not yet commit to seeking the death penalty. the u.s. attorney for that part of kansas says his office is pursuing federal hate crime charges in addition to state charms. hate crimes also carry the potential of the death penalty but the process takes longer on the federal side. no federal charges expected by the end of the week. >> mike is live in chicago. an update on fox's top story of the day. the ukrainian army is on the move. troops for the first time fought back against pro-russian militants trying to take over cities in eastern ukraine. this is the start of what ukraine's acting president calls an anti-terrorism operation. the white house accuses russia's

president putin of fueling the prices and is warning that russia should stand down or face the consequences. analysts are saying it seems president putin is brushing off the threats just as we saw when he took over crimea. during yesterday's phone call with putin the white house says president obama once again expressed his, quote, grave concern but officials say putin stood firm and claimed what -- and claimed it's the western-backed ukrainian government that is to blame. now with both sides deadlocked, analysts say it will be hard for the west to game the upper hand. joining us now the former assistant secretary of state, p.y. crowley, a professor of practice at george washington university. >> hello. >> we have been talking about this for a long time. the consensus in the room seemed to be we wouldn't get here. well, we're here. now what? >> i still think that my judgment is that vladimir putin wants to control ukraine but doesn't want to own it. but he is dancing up to a very dangerous line. obviously with the russian

complicity, he has unleashed some very interesting and dangerous forces within the country and may make it ungovernorrable. >> the accusation is some forces are actually from russia and the puppeteer is putin and he is getting the cries he wants. anything to back that up? >> the state department over the last few days has released very credible evidence that says there are russian operatives win eastern ukraine, obviously joined by those who have an identity with and sympathy with russia and obviously we saw that play out in crimea. the very narrow path for the government in kiev is how to reassert sovereignty and control over eastern ukraine, obviously did that today with the step at the air base, without giving russia a pretext to intervene in ukraine as it did in crimea, as it did in georgia. >> you have likened the situation in eastern ukraine to

one having a disease. >> yes. the dilemma here is part of the solution for ukraine to counter the narrative that russia has about the illegitimacy of the government is the election next month, re-establishing a new government and try to establish a relationship between ukraine and russia. the dilemma is that you don't necessarily have the conditions for a free, fair and credible election, and the longer this goes on, the more difficult it will be to establish a kind of stability and thoughtfulness for that election to go forward. >> is there anything to be done about the propaganda being.out by thelk%6z#1 east, especiallyy president putin's media. is there a way to re-educate those on the facts? >> i think the united nations has done that. the united states has done that. european states are doing that as well. the most influential factor in

this is money. a figure i saw today that because of the unrest, $63 billion in capital has left russia in this quarter alone. that's the kind of thing that is ultimately going to get vladimir putin's attention. is that for a guy who runs a one dimension economy, strong in one respect, fragile in other respects. when that -- you see that kind of capital flight, that is going to get hesitation and obviously the -- get his attention. >> the kiev sending in troops what happens if a couple of guys from kiev look at what the russias are doing, fire off a few round, kill a few russians, other russians fire back and then you have a little civil war happening. then what do we do? >> that's the danger that putin has unleashed here, is guess getting close to this line.

putin wants to control russian. he doesn't want to see a fragmented russia and doesn't want to see chaos on his border. once you open up this can of worms sometimes you can lose control of these situations and let's look to the peteing on thursday to see if there's -- there's been lots of ideas put on, diplomatic solutions, reforming ukraine into a more federated society like we have, the united states, will that solve the problem? we'll find out this week. >> b.j., good to see you. thank you. >> thanks. >> remember those crazy pictures of all the nasty smog in china? that air pollution in asia could be faking weather patterns in other parts of the world, like here in the united states. according to a recent study. scientists say @2xvaáj asia air plugs'ingly soars past the levels recommendedded by the world health organization. look at the thick smog over beijing. you can barely see the buildings. here's a problem.

researchers say by using commuter models they discovered the tiny particles of pollution are traveling across the pacific ocean and then interact with water droplets in the air. the scientists say that causes thicker clouds which means heavier rain and storms that are much more intense. one of the studies' co-authors says it's entirely possible the pollution from asia is changing weather pat e.s around the globe. let's look at the big wall here. a photographer just released this brand new video of new york city that he captured on a drone camera. and recording gives you a totally different perspective of the big apple. the camera zooms between skyscrapers, around bridges though, east river, three flies through washington square park's arch. the photographer says he flew the drone around and captured all the video last summer, flying drones to take pictures is against the law. >> suggest africa's pit bull

a a a a a a a a a a a a a a 16 minutes before the hour. oscar pistorius says he was overcome with terror and a sense of vulnerability in the moments before he shot and killed his girlfriend. that's what the olympian told his own defense lawyer in court today, after the chief prosecutor wrapped up cross-examination. the prosecutor again argued that tailoring his testimony to match the evidence at the crime scene, and he urged the blade runner to take responsibility for the killing. prosecutors insist pistorius murdered reeva steenkamp during an argument last year. they say hi grabbed his pistol and fired not one but four bullets into this bathroom door, well aware it was his girlfriend on the other side.

pistorius claims he thought it was an intruder in the bathroom and can the shooting was a big mistake. his lawyer asked more about that today. >> could you explain to the court, if you talk about an accident, what is it you mean by that? >> i mean the situation and the situation as a whole. >> the situation as a whole wasn't meant to be. pistorius says he pulled the trigger without thinking. after all, doesn't everybody? he could face 25 years to life in prison if the court convicts him of premeditated murder. our legal analyst is with us now. five long days and the idea was, make it so that his story and the facts didn't match. how did they do? >> a great job. the prosecutor just continued to batter. you say that you -- you went to bed at 10:00. the autopsy says she actually ate at 1:00 a.m.
