brook baldwin outside ft.tar in washington and major general spied spider marks in new york. >> i'm outside the main entrance at ft. hood. we have not had access on base. we are now learning a little more about this shooter here from not even 24 hours. 34-year-old ivan lopez. what we just learned and i know barbara star went over this. what jumped out new to me according to the secretary of the army, when he was deployed in iraq for those four months back in 2011 he was a truck driver. no knowledge of tbi, traumatic brain injury. not involved in combat. he was transferred here to ft. hood in february with his wife and young daughter. we know the question is why would he do this? he was undergoing checks for ptsd. we need to be clear reporting this. it was not said he was in fact suffering from ptsd. we do now after barbara made the point that jumped out to me he was on drugs including ambien. i'd like to throw out a question to marks. an army major was in the parking lot. there was a shooting at ft knox not lo

i'm brooke baldwin. we begin this hour with this number for you, four weeks after malaysia airlines flight 370 vanished. the search turns below the ocean surface. they are trying to find the black boxes before the pingers go silent. assuming, of course, that their batteries haven't already run out of juice. crews today dropped off that pinger locater in the water. we have talked about this th thorough thoroughly, right. it's a listening device straining to pick up the faint, you hear it, the clicks, probably now fading pings from the plane's flight data recorder and from the cockpit voice recorder. those two boxes they're looking for. scouring this 150-mile track of the indian ocean. if they do get a ping, there is also an underwater robot. this is a blue fin. the american auv, as an autonomous underwater vehicle, on scene, standing by. how this works, it uses sonar to check the sea bed for wreckage. but experts say all of this is really a shot in the dark without having that tangible evidence, the debri

i'm brooke baldwin.re live in boston. you're looking at many, many boston strong, standing at the boston finish line of the marathon. we're about 20 minutes away from the moment that first bomb blasted on boylston. they will be pausing, we will all be pausing for a moment of silence. some church bells in the area will be chiming. a flag will be raised. so we will stay with this, and we will bring that ceremony to you live, as soon as that happens. but let's talk about this plane. what a lot of folks don't know is this. flight 370 would not be actually the first airliner to vanish into the deep indian ocean. in fact, a little history lesson. taking you back to 1987, south african airways flight 295, it was a boeing 747, headed from taiwan to johannesberg, a fire broke out near the end of the route and the plane went down just about 130 miles northeast of mauritus. some 16,000 feet in the ocean there. very much in the ballpark of where flight 370 could be lying. and yes, they found that plane. at least par

position. >> brooke: why would i do that?

i'm brooke baldwin. top of the hour, the death toll keeps ticking grimly upward divers bring bodies to the surface. a total of nine crew members are facing charges, including the ferry's captain. when asked about the ferry's lifeboats, crew members said it was hard to get them as the ship rolled over, and began to sink. that's what the crew says. today divers finally reached the ferry's cafeteria. because the ferry sank in the morning, many of those passengers onboard are believed to have been in that part of the ship. that's where they wanted to get to see if there were any survivors. authorities are still calling this a search-and-rescue operation. although i have to point out, no survivors have been pulled from the frigid waters alive since right after the ferry went down last wednesday, and conditions for divers are worsening by the hour. >> translator: the conditions are so bad, my heart aches. we're going in thinking there may be survivors, when we have to come back with nothing, we can't even face

>> hi, brooke. i agree entirely. it's the transcript of a very normal flight up until the time of the last transmission. there has been some discussion about some nonstandard verbiage by whoever was speaking. >> no big deal? >> no big deal. flying in that part of the country, it's the rare individual that says everything the way it's supposed to be said. and flying here in the u.s., the same thing happens. you try to shoot for a standard, but the right things to say on the radio. it's very unusual to find a person that does that exactly right. >> do you agree? anything jump out at you when you read it? >> no, not at all, brooke. i read it four or five times. really thinking about what they were saying, and the environment. i agree, a completely normal and exactly right about the verbiage. that we see in this transcript is exactly the way that business is carried out, absolutely. >> so this is the written transcript. something else we've all discussed ad nauseam which may never be released is the act

brooke? -- do doctors have any idea how many more days they may have to keep him in this a coma? >> they don't. his condition has not changed in several days. they are hopeful but that is all they are. brooke? >> miguel marquez, thank you so much. we spoke with one of the boston bombing survivors and she has an incredible story with anderson cooper hosting this documentary. watch tonight at 10:00 eastern. it's called "the survivor diaries." that's it for me. thanks for joining me. in the meantime, "the lead" with jake tapper starts right now. >>> does it strike anyone else as a little odd that russia is warning ukraine of a coming civil war when russia is the one amassing at the border? >>> and russian troops poise menacingly at ukraine's border. we'll ask our guest, possible 2016 presidential candidate, marco rubio, will a warship and more threats from the u.s. get ru russia's attention? >>> also, it was the most promising lead but searchers lost the sl

i'm brooke baldwin. we can say that the pentagon is turning up heat on russia in the battle over ukraine's independence and today a u.s. citizen is now reportedly being held by pro russian accept rsep. vice news says a journalist was kidnapped by prorussian separatists. you have these groups who may become targets because they are occupying government buildings in key cities. a harsh warning was issued. >> if we were attacked we would certainly respond. if our legitimate interest, the interest of russians had been atacted directly like they were in southeast asia, for example, i don't see any other way but to respond in full accordance with international law. russian citizens being attacked is an attack against the russian federation. >> bring in senior international correspondent who is live for us. i would like to begin with this american journalist. tell me what are the efforts being made to free him. what was he doing? do we know what the time of capture was? >> there have been calls by the u.s. for

i'm brooke baldwin. hours ago a u.s. reporter was set free. vice news reporting that reporter sigh man is in good health. the journalist himself tweeted i'm out and safe. thank you all for your support. had no idea i had so many good friends. this comes hours after president obama announced that the u.s. is on the verge of slapping more sanctions on russia in the biggest show down since the cold war. >> we have been preparing for the prospect that we're going to have to engage in further sanctions. those are t'd up. it requires coordination with other countries. so the fact that i haven't announced them yet doesn't mean that they haven't been prepared and t'd up. >> ukrainian forces reportedly killed five russian militants. pro russian groups are occupying government buildings. russian's president, putin warning of consequences if ukraine's new government uses its army against its own people. because jim, when we hear president obama using the phrase ting up sanctions, does that mean days, not weeks? and

brooke brought it's creating more nutritional food some of the community members were active parents in making sure that low income kids didn't have that stigma so theres a card that's used so not a stigma and major effort in the districts that helps with money but the school district is creating healthier opposed. if the 90s they were kitchens more prevalent but we don't have this luxury and those parents are working on that but ed who retired within the department is doing better with less resources but we need to bring in mayor ed lee and the superintendant to talk about those changes and yeah. i want to understand what's more important what did we used to spend on kids and what are we spending now in the public school system. i've watched over the years as cuts to incredible programs that have happened and schools have closed in my district and there's less kids so if there's less kids and still money at a certain level what's that being used for and we're proposing

i'm brooke baldwin. of -- you be the judge if cliven bundy helped his case. bundy had become a darling of some conservatives over his stand off with the federal government he owes in grazing fees. he has the u.s. government has no right to ask for this money. bill confronted him about that point and others. >> you're grazing your cows on public land for free. so, how are you not sort of a welfare queen in a cowboy hat? >> well, you know, i might be a welfare queen but i am producing something for america and using a resource that nobody else would use or could use and i'm putting red meat on your table. >> but it is bundy's comments about african-americans specifically that have turned off many of his supporters on capital hill. what has made cliven bundy a political pariah? >> i want to tell you one more thing i know about the negros. they abort their young children, they put their young men in jail because they never learned how to pick cotton. >> this is the rancher who just a few weeks ago was brande

brooke? >> awful. and we are all gripping for that death toll to rise. thank you so much. back here live in boston, this is the 118th boston marathon. it goiz back to 1896. 26.2 miles. the knee buckling ascent of heartbreak hill is the longest running race of its kind and today the competition put the finish line some blocks away from me is really a testament to a much different tind of endurance here. the energy there where this whole thing begins, it is contagious. it makes you want to get in and try it yourself. the runners, the crowd, the event proved that the nation would endure. who could forget a year ago when the first bomb exploded. three were killed at the scene. and mit plif was shot and killed in per suit of the suspect so the tragedy, though, this is what i want to focus on. i want to focus on the triumph today. we are hearing that it is a million people strong all the way from here winding through to boston and along with the crowd comes security. they keep calling this the safe

i'm brooke baldwin. we're live with the breaking news. i'm sure this is a packed room, nba headquarters here in new york city. we are moments away from, as thurl bailey just put it, something incredibly historic. this story is now bigger than basketball. we are waiting for nba commissioner adam silver to step behind that podium, and discuss the league's investigation into the racist comments allegedly made by the l.a. clippers owner, donald sterling. so any minute now, we will see him take to the mic and break some news here, that so many people are waiting to see and hear. we have the whole thing covered for you right here at the top of the hour with cnn sports anchor, rachel nichols. she is inside that room. we will check in with her momentarily. of course, once the news conference begins, i will stop talking, we will take that live, in full. a little bit of back story. donald sterling has kept a fairly low profile since this audiotape emerged. but see this video? he, along with his wife -- i should sa

i'm brooke baldwin. naval ship is deploying.get word of another possible, let me caution, possible ping coming from somewhere on the ocean floor. this time the possible flight 370 black box signal wasn't heard by the tow pinger locater, instead it was heard by one of the sono buoys. they are basically floating microphones. they get triggered once this thing hits water. if you are keeping tabs with us, which i know you are, this is the fifth credible signal since saturday. here we are, bigger picture, one month plus into this search, an explosive revelation. sources telling us that after the plane took that mysterious left turn, it vanished from radar, flying about 120 nautical miles, roughly 12 minutes in the air on the grid. the only way it could have avoided detection like this is if it made a rapid decent in altitude to somewhere in the neighborhood of four, maybe 5,000 feet. as for the final transmission from the cockpit, the voice heard saying good night malaysian 370? we have only now been told it was the captain. and not

eric brooks. san francisco clean energy advocates. very pleased to say that even though we didn't have much time to look it over, only about one day, we didn't see any red-flags come up in any of these contracts with one small exception, with the sf community power. if i ran out of time, i would appreciate it if you would ask me to elucidate that. the upshod is that we can support this. it looks like it's good enough for us to move forward and for the advocates to be supportive of it. enernex looks pretty exciting in its abilitis to get this work done. we do want to make sure that what the work that they do is really oriented on what is called a virtual power plant where you mix together a lot of different types of resource and not just solar and wind, but a lot of other things and we're hoping it will be that comprehensive. some specifics that we want to make sure you guys consult us on and that enernex keeps in mind as it goes forward is that we want to keep that focus on the 50% local clean energy in ten years,. that kind of build-

let's next speaker a len in a brooks from the san francisco unified school district >> supervisor wiener. >> going back thank you for your that i want to thank you and your office i think you're doing a great job in working with us and the city attorney's office. i think that it is important to stress that this tax will be paid by the drishth and we've worked hard to try to minimize our burdens on our retailers. unfortunately, there's misinformation that's gone out to retailers by the beverage industry telling them they're responsible for the tax and so on and so forth and about the beverage they put out a list of 5 hundred and 8 hundred and one thousand small businesses their claiming is part of their coalition. we talked to businesses i know there are businesses that oppose those but in talking to a lot of small businesses we see their neutral on the tax or supportive some of them thought they were signing up for more information and found them on another list and some were not provided with full information on what the tax will fund. so thank you very much for your work >> supervisor

o'hanlon is a seniors -- senior fellow at the brookings institute. us talk about the voting in afghanistan. it is gone smoothly. guest: it looks good. there is a long way to go. as you are aware, you have to get 50% of the vote in afghanistan to win. there will be a runoff almost for sure. ran.ate candidates who chances are nobody got more than 35 or 40%. there will have to be a runoff. whoever does not make the runoff will have to decide how they want to react to that. do they blame fraud? do they protest? there is a long way to go in the process. it appears to have been a very good day. security forces protected the polling sites very well. the people show their bravery and defied the taliban. you have to celebrate the moment. host: this is an opinion piece the yuko wrote about the elections. what happened yesterday and how things will happen moving forward. you say each of the three candidates would be a plausible president or plausible first-round loser. each would be more comfortable -- vane west van karzai karzai. --than karzai. he had been the

i'm brook baldwin.itary combat vehicles, russian flags make their allegiance alarmingly clear. no one is saying whose army this is. even more unnerving, these fighters and their supporters rubbed up today to reassert authority and their supporters. so at this hour it is a potential tinderbox, very, very confusing. but we do know this. it will not allow harm to come to pro russian ukrainians while ukraine, nato and now the ukraine say no resists but the russians are stirring things up a bit. the u.s. led alliance today has announced it is stepping up patrols immediately along its eastern border. keep in mind the russian have troops on the other side of the ukraine. so, is nato finally drawing some kind of line here? >> nato is desperate how to deter putin from making any other land grabs you may have word several words bandied around. i spoke to the russian eu ambassador today and i pressed him on are we going to see any more land incursions by the russian military? and he said absolutely not. what they

and i have a jackie lynn. >> once again, eric brooks, san francisco green party and local grass roots organization our city. i'm going to speak specifically to the appointment of mr. ahn and i'm not going to speak either in favor or opposed to it, but i feel like i can elucidate some information on that a little bit. personally i have a deep respect for mr. ahn and for the bright line defense project. that group helped us stop a natural gas power plant from being built in the bayview hunter's point and close the last natural gas polluting power plant in san francisco. with that said, i think it was very appropriate that supervisor campos pushed this point of clean power sf because we need to make sure that the people that are actually working on work force policy are very dedicated to making sure we do a real large green new deal for san francisco rapidly to address the climate crisis and also to address our jobs crisis in san francisco, which really hasn't gotten that much better. the lues daition that i wanted to add is that bright line defense project over the past decade has worke

we continue our conversation with michael o'hanlon from the brookings institution. we go to larry joining us on the republican line. with all dueanlon, respect, personal outrage does not trump physics nor does it knowledge and the evidence that they tore down building seven on 9/11. host: this is a different topic and we move on to jesse in michigan. caller: >> good morning. good morning. i have heard of different in afghanistan -- in afghanistan, i want to ask -- what is -- what is so special about afghanistan, all these wars going on. thank you, jesse, we will get a response. why afghanistan? guest: there have been a lot of conflicts in afghanistan and in the 19th century, we talked about the great game with the british and russian empires colliding in afghanistan, and standing up for their own country and pushing out these foreign powers. but in terms of the modern era it does begin with the soviet invasion. ae soviets tried to install true communist government, in the late 1970's, so the outside world again intervened in afghanistan. we decided we had to oppose

brooks, this last week has made me realize how much i love money. at the haverford school and used the connections there and as youth lacrosse coaches to recruit, and the other suspects are seven adults and two juveniles. and prosecutors plan to carve out a monopoly of drug sales at some of the area's most prestigious schools, and one of the lacrosse students said that he had an injury which started his road down the way. >> he had an injury, and lost his way. >> well, neil scott is being held on $1 million bail, and all of the others, including timothy brooks are out on bail. >> well, the first lawsuit filed against federal express concerning that fiery bus crash earlier in the month. the mother of 17-year-old honor student killed in the crash claims that the fedex trucks have a history of catching fire, and she is suing for $100 million. and ten people including five high school students with were killed when a fedex truck crashed into their bus while they were going to visit a college. some say that the truck was on fire before it slammed into th

with 18-year-old timothy brooks.usive, the attorney is speaking out on behalf of scott, saying prosecutors got it wrong. >> they're getting some bad information from some of their informants. >> reporter: prosecutors allegedly that the duo started the main line takeover project. a no nop monopoly that dealt drugs into the ritzy suburbs of philadelphia. including three colleges and five prestigious high schools. now the alleged partners rolling on each other. after brooks' parents posted his $250,000 bail. >> brooks already had his own network, already had his own suppliers, his own sources within those schools to deliver those drugs for him. >> reporter: in a statement to abc news, brooks' lawyer blames "depression". and says his client is, quote, remorseful with his involvement in dealing marijuana. adding, quote, tim brooks was involved in a conspiracy for a relatively short period of time, less than three months. he didn't possess any guns or weapons. police raided a number of locations where the duo allegedly ran

they had made this calculation, remember, brooke, so many days we were looking at a northern arc and a southern arc. now at the bottom end of the southern, 150 miles, you have the ocean spray on one end, and the hms echo, a british ship on the other end. they will converge on the line. it's a shot in the dark as you said. the u.s. navy commander leading this told me it was a shot in the dark. but at this time they feel the equipment is out there. they will continually look at information, see if they can refine it a little bit more. but right now what they have is a guess.

i know we already voted on the matter, but thank you eric brooks and some of the other advocates who have been working on this and full-speed ahead. let's get it going. >> okay. very good. let's go on to our next item. >> item no. 7, consideration and approval of the proposed lafco budget for fiscal year 2014-2015. >> jason fried lafco staff. in your package you have the proposed budget to do -- just as a reminder within lafco statute we pass a draft budget by may 1st and final budget by july -- middle of july, if i am not mistaken, june, i'm sorry. this is our chance to pass our draft budget and come back, unless there are changes that are suggested today drom come back with this budget for final approval at our may meeting next month. the budget itself you will not see very many changes within it you will see minor changes, like non-personnel services a different line item that used to be under "other services and other departments." that they separate out now. so we have separated out in our budget to be more in line with the clerk of board office and how they do their budgeting.

mark shields, david brooks, we thank you both. woodruff: finally tonight, we look at the seminal work and the life of author and nobel laureate gabriel garcia marquez. hari joins us again from our new york studio for this appreciation. >> sreenivasan: his poetic words evoked love and longing, fantasy and fatalism, and worldwide admiration. gabriel garcia marquez was the most popular spanish-language author since miguel de cervantes in the 17th century, outselling all other spanish literature except the bible. his novels and short stories exposed millions to latin american life, and to "magical realism", a style he discussed in an interview some years ago. >> ( translated ): i lived in a supernatural world, a fantastic world where everything was possible, where the most wonderful things were just daily things. >> sreenivasan: garcia marquez first gained fame with the epic novel "one hundred years of solitude," published in 1967. it sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. his birthplace in colombia, the small town of aracataca,

" columnist david brooks. welcome, gentlemen. so, let's start with the supreme court, david. this week upholding the right of michigan citizens to say you can't use race as a criteria in figuring out and deciding what students are admitted to the universities and colleges in that state. >> yes. >> woodruff: what did you make of that decision and does it have a larger effect on the access of minorities to getting a higher education? >> first, what was striking about the decision was the personal nature of the fight between justice sotomayor and juicetieties bayer. whether it's roe v. wade or others, they try to polarize a situation into black and white. when democrats have more advantaging and get moderate solutions. i'm glad they deferred to the democratic majority. i think colleges are already moving away from race-based and toward class-based systems and the second thing they're doing in particular is recruiting more. you can recruit. there are lots of places in african-american and latino areas, where there

brookes was just pointing out, the zero margin out pouring all revenues into build. but the point of pouring those revenues into the local build, if you look at the basis of all the discussionses that we're having, the basis of all these amazing benefits to the city, all this largess that we've been able to provide to the general fund, it's all coming from selling a very valuable city-owned renewable resource that just keeps oncoming and making us money. so, what we're talking about is pouring this funding, pouring these revenues into the local build which will increase the pool of renewable assets that just keep oncoming and provide the entire basis for the puc's future budget and all capital costs that we will need to pour that money into going forward. so, we're talking about hundreds of megawatts more of renewable resources that will be locally owned. and once that system is paid off, it will be just another revenue source for the budget. so, kind of talking about making an investment for our future, but not just environmentally. also financially. i know that thi

and we're also seeing this with marcus brooks as well. so, we had an outmigration issue and i think this also could put some teeth into that as well, and they can make the city look respectable to my community that you're really trying to do something about the outmigration. and it's definitely affecting the african-americans. it keeps going this rate, we will have no african-americans in the city. but it's not just about african-americans either. after that it's going to be families, you know. so, right now what i'm seeing is grassroots is being up rooted and the people aren't really getting much assistance. and i do want lawyers to come in and educate people, work with people. i'm seeing that with marcus brooks as well. but also we need a c-38 second. we need affordable housing, below income housing, keep people in the city. and black people do add to san francisco. we make san francisco what it is as well as the asians, as well as the latinos, as well as the pole indonesians and as well as my fellow caucasian citizens ~. so, do what's

eric brooks. so, i just wanted to encourage the lafco in any energy endeavors that it goes forward with to definitely -- since he spoke today, you probably know that one of the recommendationses we made to you folks is to use department of environment staff as well. we've seen that they have been ready to go on program like cleanpowersf and doing other renewable energy projects and efficiency projects and their involvement will be key.
