miguel marquez, straight to you in yuma, arizona. you were briefed. have you even more information on what's happened there. the two helicopters colliding in the skies over yuma. snfrl yeah, we just spoke to the base commander. the most stunning thing coming out is the picture of that crash. it occurred around 10:30 p.m. eastern standard time on the california side of the base here. the entire crash was there. if you look at those pictures, what is very, very clear is it was in fact, a mid-air collision. there may have been an explosion as well because there's not much left of either of those helicopters except for a rotor that you can make out. the terrain says the base commander is very much like afghanistan and in iraq. the only differencing between that it's not the altitude isn't quite as great. commander also told us that there was a training pilot in the huey. there were two pilots in the cobra that crashed and then there was one -- there were five individuals in the huey, a yankee class huey, the newer one the marine corps uses and there was a trainer in there from yuma. the other six individuals killed were all from pendleton in california. it is interesting there was a trainer in that huey. it is not clear what happened. it was dark. they were in a very big exercise out there in the california desert. and there were a lot of aircraft in the air at the time. there was a lot of coordination going on. the investigation is under way as are next of kin notifications of those families and we expect to get more information as to who the individuals were that died, and it it will probably be days if not weeks and even months before we know exactly what happened in the air. brooke in. >> what a tough day i know for marines and for you know families. do we know if -- you mentioned they were training. were they headed to afghanistan? >> reporter: well, most likely. this it was a fairly high level of training that they were doing. the both the birds or both helos that crashed yesterday were carrying live ammunition. it's not clear if they were using the live ammunition but they were loaded so they were in a full training mode. as marines tell you, they are always training to deploy. the only place marines are going these days is afghanistan. so it's not clear how soon these individuals would have been going to afghanistan. but the fact that there was a trainer in with perhaps the huey pilot indicates that that pilot was being trained up either on a new weapon system or a weapon system he wasn't familiar with or with some sort of flight training in the bird itself. brooke? >> miguel marquez in yuma, thank you. next, barbara starr is in washington over u.s. concerns over syria's chemical weapons stash. with all this insecurity we see day in and day out in syria, is the u.s. military concerned this cache of chemical weaponry could be looted? >> very concerned. it's part of the military planning going on right now ket getting the options ready for the president if, if he was to ask for them or if it became necessary. and guarding syria's vast chemical weapons complex is really going to be a very difficult job if it came to that. they have sites spread out across the country, dozens of sites. and we are told that some of the very internal analysis is, in the worst case scenario, if troops had to go in to secure those facilities and it was a hostile environment, it could actually take tens of thousands of troops to do it. now, look, the military always comes up with high troop level numbers when it's trying to look at what it needs to do almost anywhere. the reality is you're not going to see tens of thousands of troops deploying to syria. the press is really on. the pressure is on for a diplomatic solution to this crisis. but the military is doing the planning, making it very clear how tough any job would be for them to do in syria. it's an environment they hope they don't have to step into, brooke. >> who could forget just even in libya, i know it's a different story. but ben wed man's pictures, the warehouses looted there were stashes of chemical weapons, as well. with regard to syria, do you know specifically what kind of chemical weaponry we're talking about and how closely is it being guarded now? >>. >> reporter: right now the u.s. intelligence community does believe the syrian regime is guarding the facilities. what if the regime were to collapse and fall, what if the guards walked away from it given the current unrest? there are al qaeda operatives inside syria, hezbollah lurks everywhere in that region. it is felt. and would like to get its hands on some of those weapons. what a threat to israel that would pose. what do they have? they have things like chlorine, like fos jean, these are the world war i era type of chemical agents and they have more advanced nerve agents. they have a very large arsenal, again, spread out across the country. so at the becomes very difficult to protect. it is something the u.s. intelligence community is watching now around the clock, brooke. >> it's concerning. barbara, thank you. next on reporter roulette, i want to go to buenos aires, argentina, where more deaths have been linked to that train crash right aroundern rush hour yesterday morning. marcos, what are the latest numbers and what more do you know? >> well, we had an update from the authorities in argentina. we have 50 people dead because of this accident. one of them is under age, a kid. we have 703 passengers injured during the crash yesterday in the morning. and we also have 11 passengers missing. their family, their loved ones are trying to reach for these passengers. they looked at the papers and the hospitals to see the names of the injured passengers. these missing people are not in those papers. they also went to the police to see their names were coordinated with the names of the dead people and also they couldn't find those names. all in the hospital either in the names of the dead people from the crash. we know that these 11 passengers that are missing could be in private hospitals. so authorities right now the are trying to reach them on these private clinics. we also know that justice is investigating this case. today a commission of the justice went to the station and to the remains of the first carriage of this train. they took the black box from the train that contains the data. actually from the conversations and the communications between the driver, which -- the driver had an excellent record in buenos aires and they took more video foot and because each train has a camera inside the driver's cabin. and also a camera that shows a view of the driver at the moment of the crash. >> speaking of cameras, marcos, before i let you go, you and i were talking about surveillance video there actually at this station. here it is. can you tell me? this actually shows the moment of impact? >> yes. >> that video shows the moment of the impact. this surveillance video from the once station shows the first carolina of the train and the second carriage slamming into the first one like 20 feet into the first. that's the place where almost everybody of of the 50 people that were -- that died on this accident were found by the rescuers. >> still passengers under the canned for, thinking of those family. marcos, thank you so much in argentina. there's your reporter roulette. coming up here, two american troops are dead, killed on a base in afghanistan. coming up next, we'll tell you what a possible link between the killings and the burning of korans this week by nate toe troops. forty years ago, he wasn't looking for financial advice. back then he had something more important to do. he

choice. my meineke. if it's happening right now, you're about to see it. let's go, beginning with the president. i hope you heard it right here. we had the speech for you live, shaking hands at the university of miami this hour. president obama acknowledging today, yes, gas prices, they are rising again. in a speech in south florida, the president said a record number of oil rigs are drilling away right now but he also said republican demands to keep drilling and drilling more not the answer. just a convenient political slogan, a bumper sticker he said. the u.s. soldier accused of giving away secrets and classified documents to wikileaks wants to wait to make a plea. bradley manning formally arraigned today in maryland. if convicted on all charges which include aiding the enemy, he could face life in prison. a third gang member has been taken into custody in the beating of a 20-year-old gay man in atlanta. the fbi says 17-year-old dareal williams now in custody in erie, pennsylvania, two other teens were already in the cowsed to in the beating which attracted nationwide attention after this video was posted online. the new york police department accused of spying on muslim college students at schools like yale university say police went too far in surveillance of american muslim groups but new york city mayor michael bloomberg says the police work was indeed justified. >> it's very cute to go and to blame everybody and say we should stay away from anything that smacks of intelligence gathering. the job of our law enforcement is to make sure that they prevent things. >> meantime, governor of new jersey chris christi says this surveillance is and i'm quoting disturbing and newark mayor cory booker called for an investigation. president can obama has issued a rare written apology to afghanistan's president hamid karzai over the burning of afghan korans, but president's show of remorse has not quelled afghan outrage which may have sparked the killings of not just one but two american soldiers in the afghan capital for us. nick paton walsh. >> america's got no one more senior left to apologize to the afghan people. president barack obama has had his ambassador hand deliver a letter expressing regret to the afghan president saying hale hold someone connecticaccountab. this has done nothing to stem the violence, two american soldiers shot dead by a man in afghan army uniform on a military base outside that base. there was a very angry protest against this koran burning. two demonstrators shot dead and seven injured. violence popping up around the country. great concerns there could be more aroundaround friday prayer. the afghan authorities are rushed forward an investigation, the first results of which we heard today. they appealed for restraint but also suggested perhaps that the u.s. soldier behind the burning of this koran might have the to face some kind of trial. that's going to cause u.s. military officials here a huge problem. people are still asking how did this come around. i understand from military officials that these religious texts were being used inside a detention facility to pass messages between what they said were extremists. these papers were gathered up and meant to be disposed of differently but ended up being passed down the chain to the normal incinerator for trash by local afghans. they saw they had been partially burn and began to alert people causing these protests. in the third day, not showing any signs of stopping and marring a time when nato is desperately trying to convince the world and afghans that security here senior improving. >> thank you. back in 1986, the space shuttle "challenger" exploded killing all oven astronauts on board. today there is new

here's dr. sanjay gupta explaining how some people stop cold turkey with one single pill. >> brooke, this represents a cultural shift in the way that people look at addiction. this idea we've talked about is it a lack of will power or is there something else. if you think of it as brain disease, should medications be an option, should they be on the table. listen to how walter kent put this. >> this is the last place you'd expect to find a recovering alcoholic. >> one of my old favorite watering holes. >> but this is where walter kent hangs out. a bar called goober's. walter is a giant of a man. but for most of his life he couldn't find the strength to put down that bottle. >> the only time i drank was when i was alone or with somebody. other than that, there was never a problem. >> he tried rehab and aa. nothing worked. >> nothing seemed to get rid of an urge. i couldn't get rid of the craving. >> then in 2000, he tried again an experimental program at brown university. this time he got counseling once a week and a daily pill. a medicine called nel naltrexone, and this time it worked. >> when you can lose the total urge, the total craving for alcohol, you can beat it. there's no doubt in my mind because i'm living proof. >> walter has been sober now for 12 years. he took the medication for 16 weeks. again, this is a guy for whom nothing worked in the past. he tried everything and got no relief. so a pill for about four months offered him that relief. first of all, it's not for everybody. just more than a third of patients could stay in treatment for that long because this medication does have side effects. it can make people nauseated and tamping down the pleasure that will someone gets with a drink. that's how it basically, would. if you don't have as much pleasure you may not seek out more alcohol but it can tamp down the pleasure you get from other things as well. that's that's right of the side effects. if you compare it to you an the other treatments out there, it was about 17% more perfect than what had he already tried. that's not perfect by any means. again, these are patients for whom nothing else had worked. so this is an option. you're starting to see this in other areas of drug addiction, as well. opiates, pain medications, there are medications that working with similar mechanisms. take away that euphoria, the sense of well-being, maybe people won't turn to the drug as much. again, brooke, it's a cultural shift is a kcontentious one. but at least for walter kent, it seemed to have worked. >> still significant of caveats. thank you. you can watch sanjay this morning in-depth on the addiction epidemic in america saturday and sunday mornings 7:307 eastern on cnn. the case of a man accuses of drowning his wife on their honeymoon, news there next. orie. this bowl of strawberries is loaded with vitamin c. and now, b vitamins to boot. coffee doesn't have fiber. unless you want it to. splenda® essentials™ are the first and only line of sweeteners with a small boost of fiber, or antioxidants, or b vitamins in every packet. mmm. same great taste with an added "way to go, me" feeling. splenda® essentials™. get more out of what you put in. on the case today, we actually have breaking news. sunny hostin. let me set this up. this is on this case, this honeymoon murder case is perhaps how people know it. this man gabe watson is accused of killing his wife during their honeymoon at the great barrier reef back if 2003. so, this case has been in alabama. and according to our affiliate wbma, the case has been dismissed. tell me more as far as what you know and also, it's important to use the word dismissed and not acquitted because why? >> reporter: that's right. and this is quite remarkable. at the end of every criminal case after the prosecution has put in its evidence, defense attorneys often ask for ar acquittal. or a rather a dismissal of the charges based on the fact that there isn't enough evidence to proceed. well, it's a routine, routine motion that is made in this case, brooke, the judge agreed. and dismissed all of the charges against gabe watson. i want to say this is really, really extraordinaire. while it's a routine motion that's made, it does not get granted very often. so the defense never put forth any whiteitnesses. this case never went to the jury. this case was dismissed. we're talking about a case that's been going on for quite some time. this murder is said to have occurred years ago. this defendant spent about 18 months in prison where their occurred in australia, and i think what's just remarkable is that he pled guilty to manslaughter there based, his attorney says sort of on a technicality saying not that he murdered her but that he wasn't a good diving buddy because he went to the surface supposed to getting her to the surface. he left her on the bottom of the ocean floor, and he was tried again, as you mentioned, in alabama, but this judge, brooke, from the very begning was very troubled by this case. and was especially troubled by the motive in this case and what i recall a couple of days ago, when the prosecution was trying to show motive, of course, the prosecution didn't have to prove motive but trying to show motive by saying that there was an insurance policy and that he wanted his wife's ring. what this judge said, you mean to tell me that gabe watson bought the engagement ring, married her, he and his family paid for a wedding, he planned and paid for a honeymoon all around the world so he could get an engagement ring he bought in the first place? that's what the judge said in open court to this prosecution team. and so, i would say this is a surprise. but the judge certainly had a problem with this case from the very beginning. >> so, let me ask you this then since we're using the word dismissed and not an acquittal. would double jeopardy apply? that only applies if a defendant is acquitted. you can't try him or her again. does that apply here? >> well, this case is not going to get tried again. >> it's done. >> it's -- i believe that it's done. you know, he's already spent the 18 months in australia in a prison. the judge was so harsh on this prosecution team. i can't imagine given the evidence that was put forward that this case will be retried. this case goes away. >> this case goes away. i want to move along along to something out of charlesesville, virginia. this verdict finally in the trial of former university of virginia lacrosse player george huguely. jurors find this young man guilty of second degree murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend yeardley love recommending 26 years in prison. 26 years, murder 2, and i hear are you surprised by this verdict. why? >> you know, i was surprised because the jury had in front of it sort of a menu of murder. they could have convicted him on first-degree murder but then they had all these lesser included charges including second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. in virginia, brooke, where this trial took place, being intoxicated is a defense to first-degree murder. and there was just so much evidence that came in about the fact that this young man had a severe drinking problem. and i thought that perhaps the jury would certainly find him guilty of her death but i did not think they would go as far as second degree murder and i also didn't think that they would recommend a sentence of 25 years. it's not the most could he have gotten under the guidelines. i believe the guidelines were about five to 40 years but it was somewhere in the middle. so just a very significant recommendation by this jury, 26 years in prison because he was also convicted of one count of grand larceny and the jury recommended one year for na. so just a tragedy all around because we're talking about yeardley love, a promising uva student. >> two live, two families. >> this young man, george huguely, 24 years old, will spend the better part of his best years in prison. >> do you see this at all? do you think the defense team is seeing this as a bit of a win though? >> he it could have been murder in the first degree. >> that's right. it certainly is somewhat of a win. the defense team has indicated that it will appeal. they want a correction here. so that tells me that they will seek an appeal. he will be sentenced by this judge april 16th. let me remind our viewers that the jury gave a recommended sentence. this judge can't give him more time but he certainly can downward depart. so he could get less. still waiting to see exactly what his sentence will. . that will be april 16th. >> sunny, thank you so much. and i know sunny googles. i google. i don't know how many times you google every day. did you realize they're changing the privacy policy?

maybe, maybe not. what about potential legal action. you have 35 attorneys general voicing concerns over google's new privacy policy. could legal challenges be far off? >> there's already been one federal lawsuit filed from a privacy watchdog group in washington, d.c. it was actually filed against the federal trade commission trying to get them to block ghoulal's news policy. google doesn't want this. let's be honest. they built a very good company and offer very good services. and they're going to have to get people to accept this. they're going to have to ease people's minds. they can't do that, they're going to lose customers and they're going to have to make some changes. brooke in. >> dan simon in san francisco. thank you. it is a battle between the young upstart and king james. jeremy lin taking on lebron tonight. just think, how much for tickets for courtside could be?

>> i love the position they're in, having a house free and clear of any loan is a nice place to be right now. i like the idea of going forward and buying the house with cash as they planned and taking out what's called a heloc, large enough to cover the cost of repairs. the interest is usually 3 or 48%. >> good advice. lynnet, your question from michele in michigan. we're underwater on our mortgage. we do not have a government-backed loan. we have a va loan guarantee available if we refinance. what should we do? >> the va prospect is a good option to consider. however, since they said they don't have a government backed loan they might have a loan from one of the major five lenders like citi or chase or jp morgan, wells fargo, b of a. those lenders as we know just signed an agreement with attorneys general around the country. and this is going to allow homeowner who are underwater who have a loan that's held by one of those five institutions to refinance. so the this is going to be a really big thing. obviously in the months and really years to come. i would definitely look into that. those provisions are that if your loan is above 5.25%, they're going to try to get you in at current rates today. hsh.com is a good website they can go to to shop around for the mortgage rate. but i would look into it. don't be locked into thinking i have to get a va loan in order to get a low rate loan. >> thank you both very much. if you have a question you want answered, send us an e-mail to cnn help desk at cnn.com. it is the match-up a lot of people have been waiting for. i'm talking lin v lebron. so the new york knicks sensation jeremy lin is going to be in miami tonight facing off against the miami heat. huge, huge game. the knicks 9-2 with lin in the lineup. miami keep in mind has the best record in the league. has won seven straight. obviously, you've seen all the papers, all the headlines. lin's had all the hype the last couple weeks but hasn't faced the challenge he's going to face tonight in miami. courtside tickets, don't read the prompter, wolf blitzer. how much do you think?

>> okay. well, here's the thing, george never said that. this isn't the first time he's used the same quote, so now jerry seinfeld said, in an episode once, we did some digging, and i'm quoting him. when you hit the high note, you say good night and walk off. that's the quote from jerry seinfeld, but that's the closest romney got. still jason alexander, he's the one who played george, he tweeted this, quote, thrilled governor romney enjoys my old character. i enjoyed the old character he used to be. if he embraced that again, he'd be a great candidate. ouch. another rogue nation already has weapons. today something big is going down. this is the first round of talks since kim jong-un took over. john park is next. ( whirring and crackling sounds ) man: assembly lines that fix themselves. the most innovative companies are doing things they never could before, by building on the cisco intelligent network. what makes us number one in motorcycle insurance? we love bikes. we love riders. and most of all, we love to ride. perfect hair every time. leading the pack in motorcycle insurance. now, that's progressive. call or click today. this just in. new developments in the case of that missing firefighter out of florida. we were talking about this yesterday. 31 gerald jerry pordano disappeared yet during a trip to bangor, maine. his rental car was found in a walmart parking lot, and police are liking for this couple. according to police, this man and woman were in contact with him before he disappeared. they were believed to be in a white mitsubishi lancer. police say it is possible the couple may be traveling out of state. the missing firefighter has a wife, two kids back in florida. before he was a firefighter, he was a member of the united states marine corps. today the united states and north korea north korea restarted nuclear starts until the young and mysterious new leader. kim jong-un not even yet 30, but he has ascended to the north korean leadership upon the death of his father, the long-serves kim jong-il. for science and international affairs. john we're going to get to the talks specifically in a moment, but i just have to ask about kim jong-un. have we learned anything more about him since he assumed power back in late december? >> yes, you know, north korean propaganda has been showing a lot of footage with inspection tours, traveling to different parts of as more footage of him, we don't know what he sounds like. no one actually knows what his voice sounds like, in a sense there's been no audio of this. there are two south korean officials, the former president, his widow, and the former chairman and his widow, both went to play their respects at kim jong-il's funeral, and they had a brief audience. aside from the two individuals, again we don't know what he sounds like. >> john, why do you think that is? >> you know, i think there's a lot of speculation. one thing is they are trying to cultivate an image of kim jong-un as almost being the reincarnation of kim song un. so perhaps their voices are different. hence there will be something of a censorship in that area. >> interesting. do we know yet the extent to which this youngest kim is actually leading the country? >> at this stage there is a lot of reading of the tea leaves, and predominantly that analysis who gets standing close to him, who's in the interr circle and what have you. as much as north korea is reputed to be a black box, there is one thing that's a fact. they run on state training companies. related to party officials. if we see movement in the state trading companies, i think that's a sign something is going on below the surface. a lot of these companies are operating in china with private partners and what have you, so it's no longer just an analysis inside the north korea, but by extension these north korean state trading companies operating more and more within china. >> let me get to the talks. we know it is glenn davies, the u.s. diplomat who is the one doing the talking with the north koreans, yet the talks are being held in beijing. what are we over there talking about? >> this is an imptant set of discussions in the sense that these are not formal negotiations prelled directly to the six-party talks. these are technically framed as exploratory talks. there's a different chronology here. they first met in the setting of exploratory talks in july in new york. this was when ambassador bosworth was the u.s. special representative for north korea policy. the second time the two countries met was in geneva. this is the handover from ambassador bosworth to glenn davi davies's u.s. representative. this is the third in exploratory talks. the main objective is to see if north korea is committed to denuclearization, and what conditions north korea will come back. another important purpose is to gauge what's happening inside of jong un, any changes or eight railings regarding the death of kim jong-il. power has been in this family since the beginning of the country. if something would happen to kim, who would succeed him? would there be a crisis? >> i think the consist senses view is there would be a crisis. kim jong-un is the blood relative and continuation of the line. if you look at the other individuals, they're powerful figures, but they don't have the authority to be the sole head. i think, as i mentioned earlier, we will also see a competition during the patron systems and systems of state trading companies. if something does happen to kim
