service? >> withdrawal pain. as the united states pulls troops out of afghanistan by the end of the year, what will happen to the u.s. funded aid programs that get left behind. one school where desperately needed money to educate girls disappeared. >> those women who are there, they feel dejected and disappointed. good day, i'm andrea mitchell in washington. we're monitoring new developments after another deadly shooting at ft. hood military base in texas. we heard reaction to the latest tragedy from military leaders here in washington testifying this morning. >> once again, we talk a lot in the army that we have an army family and we've lost young people who are part of our army family and we take that incredibly serious.

>> indeed, when that event occurs, at the very place that suffered so much pain and so much anguish just four and a half years ago, it only adds to the sorrow and the all consuming sense of loss the army is feeling this day. >> we have team coverage. let's bring in charles hadlock live at ft. hood. chief pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski and jack jacobs, medal of honor recipient. what is the latest information about the suspected shooter and of course the victims? >> reporter: well, good afternoon, andrea, the army and fbi are continuing their investigation into why this man loaded a gun and came on to post and began shooting his fellow soldiers. part of that investigation involves the gun itself. it was a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun purchased a few weeks ago from a local gun

store here. it should be pointed out, it's the same gun store that major nidal hasan bought his weapon of choice along with two lasers pointers here at the base. the gun store owner says he has cooperated with the fbi and turned over documents and records of the purchase to fbi and they are going over those documents at this hour. the shooter is 34 years old and married and has a daughter who's about 3 years old and lives in an apartment complex near the post. nbc news reached out to the spouse who we believe to be the spouse of the soldier and she had no comment and said she was very tired and wasn't feeling well and had been up all night answering questions to police. >> jim miklaszewski, we know there were a number of procedures put in place at ft. hood. give us the background on ft. hood. it's the largest base in the country, in the world i think. you have so many iraq and

afghanistan veterans this veteran had only served four months i think and you were describing very specifically what his role was in iraq. and that he had not been officially dying noti lly diagn >> in testimony before the senate armed services committee this morning, the secretary of the army, john mchue, revealed that he was examined by a military psychiatrist only a month ago. and lopez, the suspect, was complaining about depression, anxiety, sleeplessness and he was prescribed some medications, including ambien. but according to the army secretary, the psychiatrist saw no signs of likely violence or any suicidal ideations. in other words, the psychiatrist apparently didn't consider him a threat at the time. now, just a few minutes ago, we

were told that under military regulations, had he been considered a threat, that psychiatrist would have been required to warn and protect by revealing that condition but since the psychiatrist didn't see any potential threat that was not passed along to anybody else, any of the military commanders. >> colonel jack, we know from the general last night who gave i thought a brilliant briefing in real time as this thing just evolved and were dealing with the victims. he was very, very direct and very transparent and he said that concealed deadly weapons cannot be carried on the base. that was one of the reforms post major hasan, what happened in 2009. but still this man under texas law was able to buy -- soldier was able to bil a weapon close to buy and come on the base. there's no way with 265,000

people on base and tens of thousands of people moving in and out past those gates that they can check for any weapon. >> you just identified one of the major problems involved. there are two significant issues here. one is the ease with which people with whatever background can purchase guns. every sfat state is a little different but it is relatively easy to buy guns. you have a guy being evaluated for psychological problems to pick up a gun with very little checking. the second issue revolves around the near logistical impossibility of securing a military post, which is bigger than most cities, with tens and thousands of victims coming in and out every day. even people with military i.d. cards and vehicles that are registered on post, it seems quite impossible to be able to shoulder the logistical burden

to making sure the post itself is completely and totally sure by checking absolutely everything. the risk here while relatively low, all things being equal. will continue to exist. >> terrible tragedy. and terrible for the community. and one thing we don't want to do is confuse anyone about ptsd and violence. there is not a known connection and you've got thousands and thousands of soldiers, men and women suffering from ptsd all their lives and dealing with it and getting help. and we don't want to add in any way to the stigma that may exist. thank you all so much. we'll be covering, mik, thanks for everything you've been doing all night and all day. and we have a lot of news on global aid. us aid is launching a new global development lab with the goal of eliminating poverty by 2030. hillary clinton in fact is going to be giving the key note speech within the hour at the launch in new york today. the associated press has been

reporting since early this morning for two years until 2012, u.s. aid ran a secret program in cuba. it was not labeled as a u.s. government program but instead was done undercover through fake companies in spain and the cayman islands. joining me now from new york, rajiv shaw. i want to ask how your goals and large goals and you know we've talked many times about the great work u.s.aid does, can be undercut by a program like this. let me give you a chance to clarify the record. they said it is not covert but we've seen the documents from the associated press that says under the radar. there were fake corporate names attached to the program. this is deeper in my view from the work i've done on this and the work that the ap has done from the public diplomacy work

that is done openly all over the world. why lend usaid's name to the program? >> i'm eager to talk about the global development plan. aid provides support to civil society all around the world. that's true in afghanistan, kenya, we support young people to help prevent genocide and senegal, support the process of democratic elections. in cuba specifically, this program is a congressional mandated and supported effort. we've been very specific to notify all of the elements of the program publicly. the program has been the subject of a very in depth government accountability report conducted in 2013 that looks specifically at this project and found not only that this effort was consistent with the law as defined and consistent with the congressional mandates and guide

aeps, but also the report complicated u.s. aid for the management reforms put in place to make the programs in cuba fairly awarded and transparent. i'll note sometimes the work we carry out is carried out discreetly in the context of keeping people doing this work safe. you and i have previously discussed how we're reaching 4.2 million people inside of syria with life saving humanitarian support. some of it has to be done discreetly because we know that those aid workers are targeted and we know that more than 120 of them from our implementing partners have lost their lives. >> raj -- >> it doesn't make it covert but does make discreet. >> let me ask you about the fact that the people who signed up for this free program didn't know they were dealing with u.s. government. that puts them at risk. secondly, this was launched after alan gross, contractor was already in jail in cuba and defending himself and u.s.

arguing he had not been doing anything secretly. doesn't that put him at risk as well? >> look, there are a lot of times when people are unaware of exactly where the funding support comes from for specific efforts. but this is not a covert program. parts of it were conducted discreetly. the agency is putting out a detailed statement on the story to which you're referring, which includes a number of significant inaccuracies that i won't get into here. but we will speak to later. and the reality is not all of what was reported is true. what we do know is true, a comprehensive gao study found the program to be consistent with the law, that the elements of the program that are under discussion have been notified publicly, that all of the funding for it comes from congress and transparent and notified efforts and that this is simply not a covert effort in any regard. it is executed discreetly precisely because of the risks to people like alan gross, who

we think about every day. >> and when -- we have documents that say it was done, quote, to be done below the radar in using companies in the cayman islands and spain and costa rica and not labeling it as a u.s. government program, do you think that is appropriate? >> we're going to respond to the specific pieces in the ap story. but there are a number of inaccuracies in it and some of those meet that definition. the reality is we do conduct our work discreetly in order to protect people from, you know, negative consequences, but we execute the programs transparently. this specific effort was the subject of a gao investigation that actually complimented usaid. >> you and hillary clinton are kicking this off today and you

have such a big as spiration, eliminating global poverty. how do you do that? >> the world is on the path to help end extreme poverty by 2030. president obama twice now has called on the world to come together and new partnerships to achieve that goal. the reality is we can reach more than 200 million people who are extremely poor with new te technologies like better ways to store hiv so mothers can take the drugs before and after childbirth and prevent kids from getting drugs and providing clean water to poor families that might be parts of disasters like the ones we saw in the philippines and in haiti. and the fact that we've enlisted more than 30 companies and universities and tens and thousands of young people around the world in this effort, just shows that there's a huge desire -- especially amongst

young people around the world to use their technical skills and develop new technologies that can help reach the poorest people and help them move themselves out of poverty. >> how do you work with these public/private partnerships to develop the technologies? this is very science based. >> it is the department of defense has darpa, the department of energy has the energy labs. as of today, the development apparatus of the federal government will also have a capacity to provide better science and technology to save more lives. we do this by investing in development innovation laboratories on seven college campuses in the united states. from berklee to m.i.t., student and faculty are working together to develop new ways of purifying water and new ways of providing off-grid energy and lighting so people can give birth when

there's no electricity with the benefit of a solar suitcase, a great new invention that came out of the development lab. these labs will produce great technologies that allow us to save lives, better, cheaper faster and you allow us to end poverty in our life times. >> do you have the budget for this? i know you're getting help from the corporate sector and university sector, but what do you need from the federal government? >> well, over the course of my tenure over the last four or four and a half years, we've actually gone from a level of investment in science and research and development from $120 million a year to more than $611 million a year. that number will continue to go up. we have had to do that by making tough tradeoffs and repositioning our existing resources because of the overall fiscal climate. we decided it was worth making the tradeoffs because we know the technologies we're inventing, whether it's improved seeds for farmers trying to grow

in drier weather conditions or whether it's chlorine dispensers that help people get access to clean water. we know those things make is less costly and more effective to save lives. frankly we know we're helping to grow great entrepreneurial new businesses, there are young people who are literally inventing solar powered flashlights and selling them around africa and asia and creating jobs in a modern innovation economy by working to end poverty. >> thank you very much, the usaid administrator. >> joining me now patrick leahy. were you aware of this program in cuba? >> no, absolutely not. if i had been i would have said what in heavens name are you

thinking? this is dumb, dumb, dumb. now, u said has done april lot of important things to the world. but this is not something that was declared to us. if you're going to do a covert operation like this foreregime change, assuming it ever makes any sense, it's not something that should be done through usaid. they do a lot of great things around the world. i applaud a lot of things they do. i've visited in different parts of the poorest parts of the world. things that they are doing well. this is not one of them. dr. shaw will be before the appropriations subcommittee on tuesday. he's going to have to answer some very specific questions.

this -- what they were trying to do here makes me think of people i somehow think still at the state department and writing memos they were writing back to president ice eisenhower, if wey tough, the castro brothers will be out of there any day now. they've been saying that for 60 years. this made no sense at all. >> senator, they say that they briefed congress. i don't know whom they briefed. did they brief the intelligence committee? i don't know who would have known if you don't know and you're appropriator. >> if usaid says they briefed the people giving them money for this, that's not so. we give them the money and a lot more than we have in the past. i was not briefed. i know of nobody who was briefed on this. most people would say are you out of your mind? this is not a program usaid should be involved with. for one thing, it accomplished

practically nothing. we're going to come down and we have a lot of businesses, young entrepreneurs in cuba, who said i'm ready to help. we have other countries that do that and because one they are not -- they are not hampered by the foolish self-defeating embargo the u.s. has. we have other countries that are. if they want to set up twitter accounts, let these other countries do it openly. let usaid do the things they do well and do very well. this is not something they do well, just -- and the proof is in the pudding. >> one of the risks could be to the people who signed up because now the u.s. government has captured their personal data, their text messages and phone numbers and the cuban government has the ability to work backwards and find out who was

involved? >> of course they have. what did we accomplish from it? nothing. nothing. nothing. having more openness with cuba, we don't have to agree with everything they've done. we certainly don't agree. we're not going to expect them to have a jefferson yan democracy any more than they expect us to have marxist communism. we look foolish in the eyes of the rest of last continue america because of that. we augt to do things to start improving ties between us and the cuban people. i know you've been to cuba, andrea, i've been to cuba. we've talked to people there who would love to see closer and better ties to the united states and are sending scholars here and exchanging medical personnel and doing things that could

improve the lives of that country. >> what about the risk to alan gross. this program was launched after he was already arrested and in jail. >> i know there are those in the administration who disagree with me. i think if they had taken the right steps he could have been out of there a year ago. i'll continue to work to try to get him out. he's not a spy. the cuban government agreed he is not a spy. but he is a man in ill health with family members in ill health. we ought to be working in some way to get him released on humanitarian grounds if nothing else. he's not a spy and not considered a spy. he was somebody who got caught up in a stupid program. not through any fault of his own. >> and one other question, this was launched under hillary clinton when she was secretary of state. does that surprise you? >> it surprises me because i have a great deal of respect for

hillary clinton. she did a great job as secretary of state. i'm just wondering what kind of advice she was given on something like this. >> senator patrick leahy, we're going to follow up with this and i know you are as well. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> in washington state, the death toll from the massive mud slide has climb today to 20 people. 13 people are still listed as missing. the declaration makes programs available to help individuals and businesses affected by the march 22nd slide and provides help for debris removal. ok, here's the way the system works. let's say you pay your guy around 2 percent to manage your money. that's not much, you think except it's 2 percent every year. does that make a difference? search "cost of financial advisors" ouch! over time it really adds up. then go to e*trade and find out how much our advice costs. spoiler alert. it's low. really? yes, really.

e*trade offers investment advice and guidance from dedicated professional financial consultants. it's guidance on your terms not ours that's how our system works. e*trade. less for us, more for you.

afghanistan of course votes

on saturday and that could have a big impact on aid programs. with the u.s. troops withdrawing at the end of the year, the parring down of u.s. aid, what is the future going to look like for afghanistan. richard engel has been reporting on a school in kandahar directly affected by the u.s. aid. richard, what is happening to this program for girls? >> reporter: well, this program, it's the kandahar institute for modern studies and has about 1600 students, it's a vocational school and has young men and young women. and for the young women in particular, it is unique because there is no other place like it in kandahar where women can learn computer skills and language skills and connected via skype to professors and graduate students all over the world. this school has been operated since 2002. it has changed hundreds if not thousands of lives for young

women. it has been a way for them to get out of a very restrictive confined society. in many cases the women had to have enormous conflicts with their husbands and families and sometimes these women were beaten befofor going to school. as u.s. troops are being brought out of this country, as they go, the money is going with them. and this institute and many other institutes have lost their funding and we spoke to the school's director and he told us that he's already had to start telling some of these young women that the school is probably going to close soon and that they have to go back to their previous lives. a lot of these young women are simply devastated. this represents the larger question from afghanistan, a lots of people in this country are nervous about the security situation and what will happen as american troops go down from 33,000 right now to a much smaller number, perhaps even

zero if there's a no agreement between kabul and washington. what will happen if the funding is cut as it is already being cut, billions of dollars have been spent to improve standard of living, to help women change their role in society, and a lot of people are worried that those gains could be reversed. >> and the role of women, of course, before the american war began under the taliban in particular, was so restricted, there was no access to information or any kind of legal representation and no participation in parliament and what about the security problems as well between now and election day? >> we spent time today with a major general from u.s. forces here. and spent the day touring around the eastern part of afghanistan, some of the more dangerous terrain in this entire country. and american forces are

confident that afghan security forces, both police and particularly the army, will be able to secure voting day, but they think this american commander thinks it's residual for a force to remain. commanders in this country have said the force should be about 10 to 12,000 staying to assist afghan forces from bases, not going out on patrol, but staying on american bases and guiding mentoring and paying for some of the salaries of the afghan forces, providing intelligence, drones and just being there as the hand on the bicycle to make sure the afghan forces continue to progress. and they are actually progressing. they do do independent missions, about 90% of all of the counterterrorism operations in this country are now conducted by afghan forces independently, but that too could be reversible. >> richard engel in kabul, thank

you so much. we'll have more on the afghan elections and ukraine and other foreign policy with the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee coming up next.

and joining me now from capitol hill, ed royce. thank you very much. good to see you. i want to ask you about iran's new proposed ambassador to the united nations. he is reportedly someone involved in the embassy takeover back in 1979. he and iranians say he was not one of the hostage takers and he was brought in afterwards as a translator. but u.s. government has to decide whether to visa him. it's under some restrictions as the host country, we don't have a whole lot of leverage. what would you like to see happen with the new ambassador from iran? >> i suspect that what iran is doing is trying to push the

envelope to see how far they can push the united states. one of the things that we've monitored are the increases in executions inside iran. a lot of re-lidgeous leaders that don't follow the ayatolla's beliefs are being taken out and executed and other opposition figures are being killed. this might be also an attempt just to see if we react to this. so far the added executions inside iran since rohani became president has generated much reaction from the united states. i would say now would be the time to push back and show them that they are not going to be able to run the tables on the u.s. and clearly, they communicate to their supporters and this incident of the hostage taking had a lot of relevance inside iran to the iranian revolution, just as it did to the united states here, we have strong

passions about that as well. symbolically it's important to see if they can get away with this. i suggest we don't let them. >> the state department should not grant that visa? >> under department rules we're allowed to hold the granting of a visa if there's a security component to it. the fact he was involved in taking american hostages, so yes we should exercise that. >> you're going to be going to ukraine in the next couple of weeks. what is your assessment of what russia is doing because they pulled back some units but according to some of your colleagues whom i've spoken to, the indications are that the main groups of troops there on the border are still there and still threatening to ukraine and that putin and russia are doing other things to severely pressure the kiev government. >> they are. at the same time, we're doing some taking some steps that would severely pressure russia's

long-term interest. russia, 70% of their exports are oil and gas. so because of their monopoly situation in eastern europe, they are able to charge so much money that the profits go right to the bottom line, 52% of the budget of the russian military and government come directly from sale of oil and gas. one of the things we'll talk to the government of ukraine about, the ability of ukraine now to extract gas and use that gas. this week it was reported that the russians are going to increase the price of ukrainian gas by 44%. well, here's an opportunity sort of long term to work with ukrainians and frankly, if we can take our gas, which we're flaring and capping wells here because we have a glut on our market. if we ship that to poland, to hungary and other european countries, that helps break the

russian monopoly on gas there and that's important to us because this will help our budget. it will compound their budget deficits. we should be exporting. >> right now secretary kerry is going from algeria to morocco, we've seen the peace talks break apart. both sides, according to secretary kerry have shown bad faith in the last 24 to 48 hours. what should he do? should he even put jonathan pollard's earlier release on the table to try to put them back together. >> you know what i think would work best would be an overture to president abass. if he would agree to not use the language of incitement which he has in some broadcasts and which the palestinian authority does

in broadcasting into the country and instead prepare the palestinian people for peace, for negotiations leading to peace, by changing that rhetoric to actually explain a dynamic where in the future israelis, jews and arabs can live together and work together, if they drop the incitement language, i think that alone would be an indication to prime minister netanyahu and israel that there's going to be a change in tone and attitude. if that commitment was made by president abaas, i do think it could be a game changer. but as long as the rhetoric on the broadcast out of the palestinian authority marginalize and demean the jewish people, i think obviously there's going to be ret sense, i think that's an agreement he could make and he should to do exactly that to get things back

on track. >> thank you very much, chairman royce. kerry said israel failed to live up to its agreement to release preside prisoners. we'll have more on that in the coming days. more on the shooting at ft. hood and claire mccaskill joins me now. did you get my e-mail?

hearing today general odierno testified, but could yesterday's shooting have been prevented? could more have been done. claire mccaskill, thank you very much for joining us. this tragedy is really unspeakable, but it remains to be seen, is this something that the base could have prevented given access to weapons surrounding the base? >> it's very hard to see how, andrea. this young man was active and had the right to be on the base. he was in his camouflage uniform at the time. and clearly he had mental issues, he was under mental health care. so you know, there was some really good things that happened yesterday, but it doesn't really take away from the incredible tragedy that the families endured and that the army once again finds itself in a posture

at ft. hood where they are in deep grief and sympathy for human life. we have ignored it now for a long time, that there are people out there doing violent things not getting adequate services. >> within the military, we've been talking to iraq and afghanistan war veterans as i know you have as well. they are suffering and these are the combat veterans. this man was not, this soldier, we understand had been in iraq for four months, not in any combat unit that anybody knows about. he was helping in the withdrawal. but our combat veterans are seriously in need of help. there are 22 suicides a day. and there's still a backlog at the va, they are not getting the help they need. this gentleman was. >> we cut the backlog significantly at va and believe the backlog will be gone within the next year to two years.

it still is inexcusable. we are focusing on mental health services in screen for ptsd for every returning hero that comes back from the contingency. this particular soldier did have mental health help. the issue, are we giving the right type of help? is it psych co-tropic drugs? are those continuing to drink while taking the drugs that has a counter effect it should. there are a lot of issues around the problem but even worse than suicide in the military is when someone loses it and takes the lives of others. >> i want to ask about the extraordinary hearing you chaired with mary barra from general motors. were you satisfied with the answers? >> frankly there really weren't answers. i think mary barra is sincere in wanting to get to the bottom of it. my questions centered around she

has been a top executive at that company for a long time and they knew -- someone at that company knew over a decade and someone in that company purposely changed out a part without changing its number in order to avoid being detected that there was a defective part in these cars. and finally, that last year they were confronted with this evidence in a deposition and it took them nine months to get the cars off the road. there is i think, a terribly irresponsible behavior and may be criminal. she committed to coming back in front of the committee after their investigation is complete. we have other people we need to hear from also. >> let me play one of those exchanges between you and mary barra, the new ceo at gm. >> i want to briefly go through your resume. beginning in 2004 when this defect was discovered by someone at gm, you were executive director of managing

engineering? from 2004 to 2005. in 2005 to 2008 you were executive director of vehicle manufacturing engineering, from february 1st 2008 to july 2009, vice president of global manufacturing and engineers. from july 30th of 2009 to february 1st of 2011, you were vice president of global human resources and february 1st to august of 2013, senior vice president of global product development and august of 2013 to january 13th of 2014, executive vice president of global production development. is that a correct rendition? >> yes. >> so she was there and was in the chain of command at least, perhaps not a direct report from the lawyers, but how do you explain the nonresponsibility, let's just put it that way from the new ceo? >> i think within this engineering department, this

lead engineer for the switch perjured himself and lied under oath and clearly in a cover-up mode. the question is, what is the connect between that engineer and his department and the executive offices. and when a lawyer goes into a deposition representing gm and is confronted with a changed part that had not gotten a new part number, i guarantee that lawyer is reporting directly to the executive suites because that's a bombshell dropped in that deposition. the notion that that somehow was siloed away from top management at the company tests your ability to believe that no one there knew how serious this was almost a year ago. >> let me just say to anyone who says there's not in value in having women in the senate, the tough questions all being asked by you as chair and your colleagues, thank you very much. >> thank you, andrea. >> striking out. speaking of women, radio hosts
