los angeles. >>> up next here tonight, we'll check in with brian williams. he'll be joining us live from boston as firefighters gather to honor their own. >>> a heart-wrenching scene in boston. a sea of firefighters lining the streets to salute the fallen after a ferocious fire consumed a row house in the back bay area. they're grieving the loss of 43-year-old lieutenant edward walsh jr., a veteran firefighter who leaves behind a wife and three children under the age of 10. and 43-year-old firefighter michael kennedy, a veteran firefighter, one of the first responders at the marathon bombing. and as we approach that day, brian williams is on scene from boston and joins us from the scene of so much sadness, on lad err 15 on boylston street. we're here after the scene. >> reporter: what a sad day in boston. they just don't lose professional firefighters in the line of duty that often, say nothing of two of their bravest from the same house, one of the oldest in the nation. you wouldn't blame anybody in the city for asking how much one city is expected to take in the course of a year. if there is a blessing it is this comm

los angeles times," and joins us tonight from l.a. welcome. >> thank you, good to be here. >> how damaging is this to gm? >> inhe short term it's very damaging, to the tune of 2-3 billion. that's the figure we got from an analyst, once you factor in lawsuits, the cost of the recalls, civil penalties and the potential fall in stock price. long-term, if toyota is any indication, gm could come out of this pretty well unscathed. if you look at 2009 and 2010, things were worse for toyota than gm. by 2013 toyota rebounded to become the number one automaker and that was the second consecutive year. >> it took a while, right. >> it did. heavy incentives on toyota's part to sell the vehicles at a higher rate. it took marketing towards the safety features. they had to rebuild their reputation. how does general motors do that. they have to come clean, right. >> they do have to come clean, and to their credit they have done a good job of that. mary barra has been forthcoming in saying, "look, we screwed up, we know that. now we are doing whatever we can to move forward." they have issued apologies. for a company that big

katherine joins us from los angeles, the only author to have spoken to the convicted killer, winston moseley, and documented in her book: >> welcome. >> thank you very much. glad to be here. >> you say 60 people witnessed this. where did you get that information? >> that's what i got directly from the police reports taken during the investigation. according to the police reports, there were 62 people who admitted hearing kitty genovesi's screams. not all people could see everything. we are talking about people in apartment buildings. 33 people, by my count according to the police report witnessed parts of the crime. >> and, of course, you know there's another book that suggests only a few people actually heard this. even the "new york times" has changed its story a bit over time. with such a wide discrepancy. >> all i can say is i spent several years on the book. i wanted to be thorough. i went over the trial transcripts care fully and interviewed some of the original investigating detective and people that lived in the neighbourhood, including an eyewitness. the evidence that i found indicates what i have just said, that it was 62 people who heard something. >> and didn

us from los angeles. thank you for being here. i love coffee and can't wait to try what you are selling but we should point out this was all an inspiration to help people who live in coffee producing regions of the world, have access to fresh water and you explain it so well and i will shut up. >> we have been giving shoes in over 50 countries in places like rwanda, guatemala, honduras. those are also the places where the best coffee in the world comes from so working directly with the farmers we can make sure they're getting higher prices for their beans, living the best lives themselves and their families but also want to give back more than economic development opportunities and that is when we focus on water. adam: in the process of harvesting been the great deal of water is used. not sure if it is clean but helps preserve them to be packaged and transported to the rest of the world and this can happen in places where farms might use a great deal of fresh water but they don't have access to fresh water. is that accurate? >> exactly and that is what i recognized when i visited these farmers and saudis watching stations and realized the 1:1 model could work in t
