nasa's curiosity rover landed on mars. since then the spacecraft has been crawling around the red planet taking pictures, looking for science of life. scientists now believe mars had a large water source that could have supported life. the next job is to climb and study one of the largest mountains on mars. coming up, russia is building troops along ukraines border. secretary of state chuck hagel choosing concerns about a possible russian invasion, and how one organization is helping refugee girls who have fled persecution and hav have resettled in chicago. >> russian president vladimir putin has launched counter sanctions against western nations. it's been putin's strongest retaliation since the u.s. and europe has imposed sanctions. it will not import poultry. it comes as activity on the border has been heating up. russia is planning to invade ukraine. troops have amassed as part of military exercises along ukrainian border. joining me now is a member of the truman project defense council. in your mind is russia preparin
