here's president hamid karzai and his staff meeting with u.s. officials in kabul, talking about a small florida church whose members say they burned a copy of the islamic holy book. general david petraeus talked about it today. >> we condemn the action of an individual in the united states to burned a holy koran. that action was hateful. it was intolerant and it was extremely disrespectful. and again, we condemn it in the strongest manner possible. >> this was an act of disrespect to the muslim faith and to all peoples of faith. it does not represent the views of the peoples or governments of the alliance. we condemn it. our condolences of course go out to everyone who has been hurt in the demonstrations over the past few days. and we call on everyone to remember, that this was the act of an isolated individual. and that the peoples and governments of the alliance both respect and defend the muslim faith and are in afghanistan to support a peaceful future for the afghan people. >> the church claims to have burned a koran last month. friday's attack on a u.n. headquarters and violent poe tests that followed have so far killed more than 20 people. the conflict in libya is no quick fix. today, former national security adviser, jim jones told cnn that the international coalition cannot pull out of libya until moammar gadhafi is out of power. also today, libya sent an official to greece to deliver a personal message from libyan leader, moammar gadhafi. we don't know yet what the message is. the libyan woman who burst into a room of journalists claiming that libyan troops raped her is still missing. according to her father. cnn could not verify her story and libyan security forces yanked her from the room that day. libyan government spokesman have said repeatedly that police released her from custody. but her father says he still has not seen her. on to syria now, another wave of angry anti-government protests today. gunfire broke out during yesterday's protests and human rights activists say at least 16 people died. syria's president today named a new prime minister, former agriculture minister adel safar. in japan, rescuers are finding more bodies three weeks after the tsunami. the death toll from last month's calamity now tops $12,000. more than 15,000 people are still missing. meantime, no encouraging signs from the crippled nuclear plant. here now is cnn's martin savidge. >> reporter: it was a very difficult day for workers at the fukushima daiichi nuclear plant on a number of fronts. first of all, tepco announced that two employees who had been missing ever since the disaster struck on march 11th, their bodies were found inside the basement of turbine building number four. it was quite evident that he had died in the initial tsunami. the bodies were found on wednesday, but the companies released the news today, because they wanted to make sure that the families heard the word first and had time to grieve. and they've been dealing with a frus rasting aspect of a cleek. this is a leak that's about eight inches or 20 centimeters, found in a tunnel that's located between reactor number two and the ocean. and it is from the leak, they can see that there is a gush of water, highly radioactive water that is now pouring into the pacific ocean. it's been doing that for over a week. they tried to do initially was to pour cement into the tunnel hoping to stop the leak, it didn't work. today they went after it with a high-tech polymer, one that expands greatly when exposed to water and they also threw in some chopped-up newspapers and sawdust for good measure and that did not work, either. so it's a frustrating setback. public frustration continues to grow. there was a none demonstration outside of tepco headquarters. this is the largest one we have seen so far. and one of the most vocal. >> i can't believe our government any more. it's a stupid but i want to escape japan. >> people increasingly are growing angry over the lack of progress both in dealing with disaster and with dealing with the nuclear situation in fukushima. in tokyo, i'm martin savidge. back to you. southwest airlines meantime is determined to find out how this happened. the airline has grounded and will thoroughly inspect 79 jets, just like the one that landed friday with a four-foot hole ripped in the fuselage. a federal safety inspector said the first priority is clear. >> there's very important to find out what happened in this event. we don't want this to happen again. and airplane structures should not fail and rupture as it did yesterday here over the skies of arizona. >> no one was hurt when the hole suddenly appeared in the plane, good news. southwest encourages ticket holders to be aware that they have canceled so many flights. all right now to the looming federal budget showdown in washington. president barack obama is pressing both parties to reach a compromise to avoid a shutdown. which he calls a threat to the economy's recovery. but time is running out. midnight friday is the deadline. our sandra endois live from washington. so what do you hear in terms of whether there witness be will be an agreement? >> both democrats and republicans are trying to work toward a budget agreement to avoid a government shut john on friday. what they do is agree on is to cut $10 billion in temporary spending measures. what's being considered is an additional $20 billion for the remainder of this fiscal year which ends september 30th. the republican-controlled house passed a $61 billion spending cut plan, but senate democrats say that is too much. and they're working to find some middle ground. >> i think progress is being made. they're working off a number, $33 billion of cuts. that's very reasonable. it's right in between what democrats have proposed and republicans have proposed. right in the middle. and after all, that was the number proposed originally by the house republican leaders. ryan and rodgers, the head of the appropriations committee. so they're working off that number, that's good. now we have to figure out what goes into the number. and that's where the discussions are headed. >> at least they're talking and president obama called congressional leaders yesterday to urge both sides to reach a deal. but house speaker, john boehner, has said so far there is no agreement on a figure for spending cuts. and republicans are pushing for more reductions. republican senator, lindsay graham made the case on cbs's "face the nation." >> americans as a whole are very upset about the size and scope of the federal government. we're trying to reduce spending and our democratic friends are happeninging on to old ideas that every time you try to reduce spending, you're being cruel and mean. what's cruel and mean is to pass the debt on to future generations. >> now there is some progress being made towards working out a deal. and the president emphasized a government shutdown would be a threat to economic recovery. fredricka? >> sandra endo, thanks so much. money matters of a different type may dominate president obama's agenda tomorrow. he is expected to announce his 2012 re-election plans. while small donations played a major role in his first campaign, this go-round the president will seek big money from wealthy democrats. fundraising could shatter records. sources tell cnn the campaign hopes to create a $1 billion war chest. final four, that was so yesterday. men's college basketball is now down to two. after last night's

>> yes, it is, this time of year. >> karen thank you so much. meantime, 43 years ago, tomorrow, an assassin's bullet took the life of civil rights leader, martin luther king jr. recently-discovered letters and photos tell us more about james earl ray, the man who fired that shot and his racist leanings. mark pereskia is an investigative reporter for "the commercial appeal" in memphis, tennessee. why are we just hearing about these letters and photos and what are they saying about the archives where i guess they've been all this time? >> well, freed reeka, one reason we're only -- [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] is because they were placed in county archives. the offices through various changes of administration, they pass all of the things onto the county archives and they were just set aside and forgotten. it was only recent i had that some workers going back through some things discovered some papers. one was a file from the public defender's office that was marked james earl ray, wrapped in butcher paper. it took a while once they discovered what they had, through talking to the lawyers and considering things such as attorney-client privilege and what-not, it release this. but they are now out. and the really, really interesting thing about these records is that they're there for the world to see. the "register" in shelby county has a very transparent policy and he has put these digitized images on the internet. you see all of ray's letters, at least the ones they can find now. you see various exhibits, new photographs. >> and photographs of him being booked? we saw the one shot of him being searched. we saw a mug shot. was that a mug shot that we haven't seen before? >> well these photos were sealed up. the night the photographer sheriff morris brought in a photographer the night, when ray was extradited back from london. and he shot 60 to 70 frames. and these were sealed up. and hadn't, hadn't been seen to this day. they, they were pretty much forgotten and what you do see is ray, you know, ray had been on the run for better part of a year. and had wednesday on the lam for the king assassination for two months. >> he had been in london, he had been in africa. so when you look through the writings, some of these letters, which i understand letters of that were written by him, he sent to his brother. there were letters of others sent to him. what do you suppose we will learn through these letters about him that maybe we didn't know? what was kind of the real revealing material for you as you read through this material, read through the letters? >> well i think one thing we see is we see the mindset of an assassin right after he's been captured. and he's, you know, initially very shocked. he's trapped. but at the same time, we see who he immediately gravitates toward. james earl ray gravitates toward the segregationists. the racists throughout the south. he makes a contact with jb stoner, a very virulent segregationist from georgia who came up to visit him in jail. and you see ray funneling messages through his brother, jerry, who was his chief emissary, to stoner, asking for various things. ostensibly it was to file a libel suit against "life" magazine. >> asking for what, in particular? >> ostensibly, he wanted to stop "life" magazine from writing about him for pretrial publicity. but we don't know what was, we don't know when the connection was made between stoner and ray. and there's a lingering belief by students of the assassination, that ray might have been paid or ray might have been expecting to get paid by shooting king. and so when congress reexamined the king a assassination, the best they could put it is that stoner had contacted ray when he was arrested in london. but whether there was a preexisting relationship there, is one of the mysteries of the assassination. >> mark, this is some fascinating stuff, 43 years after the assassination. all the material in the shelby county register. so people can go to the website and look at the images for themselves and try as best they can to maybe read the letters as well. mark, thanks so much for your time, appreciate it. thank you so much. and tonight, here, firsthand stories of the tragedy that still resonates today. eyewitness to murder, the king assassination airs tonight at 7:00 p.m. on cnn. straight ahead, see why one florida neighborhood wants to ban kids from playing outside. checking other stories across the country, what may be the large oebt kidney exchange at a single hospital. it happened friday in san francisco, five people received healthy kidneys from five other people. none of them had met before the surgeries. a heads up about a recall that involves jenny-o white meat turkey burger sold at sam's club stores. it's a few people have become sick after eating them. the company suggests that you return the burgers for a full refund. and the dentist place in orange park, florida, was the place to be yesterday. the office treated the first 100 people in line to free dental care. they had two options -- have their teeth cleaned or get a tooth pulled. okay, so remember when your parents would say -- why don't you just go outside and play? a neighborhood in central florida is trying to ban kids from doing just that. listen to what our legal guys, avery freeman and richard herman had to say about that yesterday. remember how your parents always said, why don't you just go play outside? a neighborhood in central florida is trying to ban kids from actually doing that. our legal guys are back, avery friedman in washington, richard herman in las vegas. we're talking about, it sounds crazy on the surface. but there's a good argument on both sides, right? edgewater, florida, this homeowners association for 48 town homes is saying, it's just not safe for kids to be playing tag, skateboarding, riding their bikes, et cetera, in the parking lot in front of the town homes there and if you do so, there will be a $100 fine for every violation. so richard, can hoa really do this lawfully? >> they can, fred, they can, and they should. homeowner associations, condominium boards, co-op boards, they're charged with regulating the common areas for these facilities. and what this board is saying is that for safety reasons, this is a parking lot. kids shouldn't be riding and if one of these kids should get injured or hit by a car, this community is going to get sued for a lot of money. they don't want that, they're trying to protect the environment. if you don't like it, vote new people in the homeowners, have your vote heard and try to rover yule it. >> i wonder, if it's an issue of, does this neighborhood not have a playground? so the money that people spend toward their hoa, does that mean that the hoa now has to be aware of the populace there. that there are kids, there's got to be a safe place for them to play. why don't they use that money and erect a playground. might that be a decent argument? >> i guess. the fact is that this activity, this proposal is a dope slap concept. that flies in the face of the federal fair housing act. >> what? >> ronald reagan enacted legislation passed or signed into law in 1988 that prohibits the homeowners association from doing what they are doing. let me tell you something, the justice department will be down there. the only one that will bring suit in federal court faster than they will be me. in it violates federal law, they can't do it there's no way they can justify the law, $100 for playing tag? i don't think so. so the home owners association plans to vote on this issue april 27th. a retired pilot joins us to talk about a different safety issue. he has a theory about why a gaping hole opened in a southwest jet. find out why he thinks the airline's short trips might have caused the damage. ask me. if you think even the best bed can only lie there... ask me what it's like... when my tempur-pedic moves... ...talk to someone who owns an adjustable version of the most highly recommended bed in america... ask me about my tempur advanced ergo. ask me about having all the right moves. these are real tempur-advanced ergo owners! find one for yourself. check out twitter. try your friends on facebook... see what they have to say...unedited. it goes up... ask me what it's like to get a massage ---any time you want. ...it goes down... ergo...nomics... ergo...nomics... tempur-pedic brand owners are more satisfied than owners of any traditional mattress brand.

yes, he responds, moammar gadhafi's people, who are watching us, listening to our communications and telling them where we are so they can hit us. the new tactic is to hold ground and move forward, with caution. an approach that makes sense. but goes against the grain of boys and men who want to do it their way. ben wedeman, cnn, outside al brega. in cairo, fans riot and a soccer stadium is damaged. now egypt's prime minister is apologizing to the people of tunisia. it happened in the closing minutes of a qualifying game against tunisia. fans of the eve egyptian team stormed the field after a crucial goal was disallowed. a cnn ireporter said police were protecting the referee which made the fans apparently even angrier. and there's growing anger in japan over the crisis at the fukushima daiichi nuclear plant. about 200 people demonstrated outside the headquarters of tepco, the company that owns the plant. they told cnn's martin savidge, they don't like how the company is handling the crisis and are increasingly frustrated with the government. the clock is ticking towards a possible federal government shutdown in this country, friday, if u.s. congress doesn't come together on a budget deal. some movement is expected this week. but experts wonder if the democrats and republicans will be able to avert a shutdown. >> americans as a whole are very upset about the size and scope of the federal government. we're trying to reduce spending and our democratic friends are hanging on to old ideas that every time you try to reduce spending, you're being cruel and mean. what's cruel and mean is to pass this debt on to future generations. >> i have a lot of sympathy for speaker boehner. because he does want to come it an agreement. he knows how devastating a shutdown would be. that's his words, not ours. although we all agree on that. >> lawmakers have until midnight friday to reach a deal. southwest airlines is determined to find out how this happened. the airline has grounded and will thoroughly inspect 79 jets. just like the one that landed friday with a four-foot hole ripped in the fuselage. no one was seriously hurt. the 737 did land safely. southwest encourages ticket holders to be aware that so many flights have been canceled. it certainly might mess up people's schedules. so let's bring in michael charles right now, the ceo of air safety experts. and he flew jets for more than 40 years. so michael, you know, you've seen the pictures, just as we all have. and are all thankful that we weren't on that plane. because you can't imagine what those passengers were going through. what does your gut say about what happened here? >> well what really happened, fredricka is the southwest operates aircraft in what's called a high-cycle, high-fatigue environment. they run up and down, in other words the airplane goes from the ground to altitude and back dune, which is a pressurization cycle, quite frequently. much more so than a lot of other airlines. and what happens is we exercise the fuselage, as it blows up with pressure and deflats when we're back on the ground. they tend to flex to metal. >> so a lot of short trips stress out the plane as opposed to people just thinking a plane that's being overused on long trips. this kind of short-trip stuff is what jep decideses the skindeci the skin of the plane. >> it does, and what we have in these these short-trip airplanes, we have an aging aircraft segment, if you will in the faa that watches this kind of occurrence. watches for this kind of occurrence. because what we do when we see problems like the one we had on the southwest jet this past week, is we say, are we inspecting these aircraft significantly enough? are we doing the nondestructive testing to be able to really tell us if we have fatigue issues in the metallurgy as the airplane goes through its normal day. >> so is the issue in the method of the maintenance taking place, the inspections? because if the ntsb, the inspectors are saying the plane did undergo major maintenance and was disassembled in may of last year. all eyes and hands have been on deck here. is it an issue of revising the methods that are used? >> it is reindividualsing. and probably what will come of this, frankly is we will revise the methodology once again on the inspection cycles for these airplanes, we'll look at them more often and perhaps more carefully to be able to pick up problems like this before they become a big issue. and we've done that before in the industry take a look at you know, how these airplanes are performing over time. this airplane was built back in about 1996. and it went into service, about '96, i should say. so it's not, in comparison to a lot of other airliners, it's not that old. it's just got a lot of cycles on it. that's what we're looking at now. >> so that southwest has grounded now 79 jets. they're going to further inspect. give me an idea of how this might cripple an airline as a whole. to have to ground so many jets and have much more thorough kind of checking and double-checking of everything? >> well, when you have that significant percentage of your fleet down for maintenance, required maintenance before further flight, it does put a monkey wrench into your schedule, obviously and i think southwest has been very proactive in trying to get ahead of this thing and say, let's put these airlines on the ground and look at them first. the inspections themselves should not take a significant amount of time, although there will be some disruptions, i'm sure. >> and i'm sure that everyone is comforted by these kinds of inspections, i'm sure very few will be complaining about that. >> it has to be right, fredricka. >> michael myia charter, thanks so much. you're welcome. let's turn to entertainment news. and charlie sheen's one-man show -- winning? [ crowd booing ] >> that does not say winning. or at least it doesn't sound like winning. >> you know, up -- >> take it off. take it off. ???????????????????? actor charlie sheen now on stage and apparently in need of some work on his material. reviews are in after sheen kicked off his torpedo of truth road show in detroit yesterday. and entertainment correspondent, carine winter was there. >> charlie sheen, he definitely was not winning on his opening tour night. his highly-anticipated "violent torpedo of truth" tour, his name up in bright lights, center stage notice motor city, but sheen bombed in big way. and the thousands of fans inside detroit's fox theeater, they le him have it. they chanted refund, they called him loser. sheen basically spoke all night long saying he was here to save the fans and said he rolled out a presidential-like podium and gave a nonsensical speech. there were clips from his recent one massive monthages and he had his goddesses on stage and they burned his iconic "two and a half men" shirt. >> the worst show ever. >> this show, it's just a show where sheen, he never, ever managed to connect with the audience. he even chalked it up as an experiment. the question is with all the tour dates remaining over the next month, fans really want to pay to see a less-than-stellar performance. warner brothers fired sheen from the hit comedy, "two and a half men." warner brothers is owned by time warner, cnn's parent company. technology is advancing so much. fortunately we have our gadget guru guy, marc saltzman in the house with some new gadgets, can't wait to put my hands on that one. what is it, anyway? we'll bring you up to speed after this. ation. the exelon patch -- it releases medication continuously for twenty-four hours. she uses one exelon patch daily for the treatment of mild to moderate alzheimer's symptoms.
