begin this week together with a stunning hate crime in America. A

young boy full of optimism killed. So at his grandfather and another

woman. This is a man accused of a murderous rampage killed by region

and bigotry. Opening fire at two Jewish centres in Kansas at the holy

time of Passover. Tonight, we are learning more about him. His violent

hatred and his victims. Our correspondent is on the scene.

Police said a man with the bullhorn in these volumes of videos from

yesteryear is the face of hate. Today, he goes by the last name of

Miller as well is 73 years old and according to groups, who had been

tracking him, he is a former grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and is a

lifelong and COMMENTATOR:. If you were to make a top`10 list of

anti`Semites, he would be it. Police say he came to this Jewish community

centre, this place of peace on Sunday, determined to kill Jews with

a shotgun and at least one pistol. He is accused of shooting dead a

14`year`old, a promising young singer. He and his 69 your

grandfather had just pulled into the community centre for a singing

contest. I hope he is singing. community centre for a singing

In heaven with all the angels because he had the voice of an

angel. She found her son and father as she pulled up. He was lying on

the ground. I thought he had a heart attack. But very quickly I realised

it was not that. I knew that my dad was in heaven. That idiot absolutely

knocked a family to its knees for no reason. My dad should be seeing

patients today. If they had school today, my son would be in school.

Police say he drove one Mile away to this living facility where he shot

and killed this woman in the parking lot. She was visiting her mother

which it did every Sunday. He surrendered at a nearby school,

screaming the nutty salute. We have determined through the work of

law`enforcement agencies that this was a hate crime. Here at the

community centre, families of the Passover tonight at Sundown.

Tomorrow morning, state and federal officials plan to announce their

charges in the killings. charges in the killings.

The acute government is expected to be in court tomorrow.

Across the nation today, people woke up to two wildly different spring

days. In DC, Cherry Blossoms in full bloom. Almost a beach day here but

in Wisconsin, is no shovels were out again. In Denver, one intrepid tulip

pushing through. Extreme weather brewing up in a big chill ahead this

week. Our meteorologist is following the April freeze. A violent Monday

morning in parts of Texas. Hail pummelling this backyard and pool.

It is on the ground right now! It was a wicket weekend of tornados in

Oklahoma. Super`sized hail in northern Illinois. The Gold Coast is

on alert tonight. In Michigan, it was not a tornado but street lined

wins. Gusting to 80 mph. Leaving the earth littered with trees and

powerlines. How do we know it was not a tornado? It is all about the

reader and debris. Tornadoes rotate, scattering debris. Straight`line

winds are just that, straight. Pushing the debris in the same

direction. Right on the tale of the severe weather, a blast of snow and

cold. Measurable from Wisconsin to North Texas. Highways from Colorado

two Nebraska, shut down. When you see that type of snow, you know that

you have called numbers coming at you. Heightened because from the

date, some of them happened earlier. 65 in Chicago but we will

watch as that cold front sweeps to the east. Tomorrow, we are waking up

in the 20s and 30s. Look at this, freeze watches and warnings. A lot

of folks from Texas all the way to Illinois are concerned about their

plans. Overseas tonight, there is a

tinderbox in Ukraine and to giant will powers are staring at each

other. Today, the steely Russian President said eight point a Russian

fighter jets flying above American warship. Britain and Obama had a

phone call. What was in it? A new escalation. This American

destroyer buys repeatedly by a Russian side jet. The Pentagon

revealing the date and calling it provocative. to messages, we see

you, we do not like in our backyard. This as none other than the head of

the CIA was secretly in Ukraine. Shades of a new Cold War. America

and Russia now squaring off over Ukraine. As a denied the charge on

the call with President Obama, urging him to stop Ukraine from

using force against protesters. First, Russia took Crimea, now

unrest is sweeping the eastern part of the country and the US is

accusing Russia of orchestrating. We are obviously very concerned about

Russian actions in Ukraine, attempts to disable it Ukraine.

Well`equipped, armed gunmen and mobs are seizing control of government

buildings. Which we have seen first`hand as they have prepared for

a crackdown, Ukraine says is coming. There are piles of broken bricks,

they are polls, that the baton is, a battle of Molotov cocktails ready to

go. Matches to like them so that they can throw them on anyone trying

to storm the building below. The fear tonight is that bloodshed will

only add fuel to the fire. Russia may use it as an excuse to invade.

Taking this stand of with the US to a new and dangerous level. Today, a

prodigious journalism award was handed out for a very controversial

story in America. The Pulitzer prize for public service was awarded to

reporters from the Washington Post and Guardian for breaking the NSA

surveillance story, using the documents leaked by Edward Snowden.

Edward Snowden called the win a vindication. The Boston Globe one

for their coverage of the Boston bombing one year ago. Tonight, the

search for the missing passenger plane has reached a new stage. Teams

believe they `` believe they have learnt the last of the pings from

the black boxes, the batteries exhausted. They are now relying on a

submarine to comb the depths of the ocean floor. Each mission will take

24 hours. The submarine has to resurface to bring back information

from roughly three miles deep at the bottom of the sea. We moved to the

murders trial of Oscar Pistorius. The prosecutor has accused the

athlete of making his tears to avoid tough questions about what happened

with his girlfriend. `` faking his tears.

After six days of weeping and wailing in court, the prosecutor

accusing Oscar Pistorius of using emotion to invade his questions.

When pressed about what he did in the moments before he shot his model

girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, allegedly mistaking her for

intruders. At one point testifying he didn't mean to fire at any one at

all. Then, moments later, saying he shot

because he feared for his life. The prosecution pointing out to him

that the bathroom is so small that when he was shooting through

distorting must have known he was going to kill someone, insinuating

intent. The Paralympians faces up to life in prison if the judge believes

he was in control of his actions that fateful night. At home, another

glimpse of the future today. Google acquired a company that makes

drawings. They say they might use them to bring internet access to

people in remote parts of the globe. Makes drones. A surprising headline

for the modern American family tonight. We know about the risks of

postmortem depression `` post`natal depression but a new study finds

young dads are at risk as well. Men who become fathers at the age of 25

show a 68% increase in depression during the early days of parenting.

One expert says this is a wake`up call.

A headline now about all of us in daily life. A brand`new study has

identified a hazard when you are angry and hungry. In fact, there is

a new word, hangry. We look at how that could `` that can create double

trouble in life. Couples looking at reducing conflict

might need to take a bite of food. A new study suggests what you might

expect, we fight more when hungry. Hungry spouses tend to be angry.

What is he like when he is hungry? Extremely difficult. Anything can

set me off. Researchers looked at over 100 married couples and found

that when hungry and blood sugar levels drop aggression levels went

up. That's because the brain, only 2% of our body weight, consumes 20%

of our calories. After they eat, their glucose levels increase,

weaving them some fuel for their brain. They exercise self`control

over angry feelings and aggressive impulses. So they are less likely to

lash out against their spouse. Researchers recommend if you are

going to have that serious talk its best to do it over a meal.

Tonight as we know it is crunch time for everyone who hasn't filed tax

returns. Tomorrow is the deadline. The IRS told us tonight an estimated

35 million taxpayers have waited until the last minute to file their

taxes. So far, 90% of us are filing online by computer. Because of

budget cuts, the IRS has fewer people, so your chance of an audit

is the lowest since the 1980s. Up next, too close to home, a mother

escapes the jaws of a black bear outside her house. Neighbours are

worried they could be next. Those teeth were just digging into my

skull. She tells us how she survived.

Next, a mother with a harrowing survival story. She was attacked by

a black bear as she stepped outside her home to make sure her children

were safe. This is not the first suburban Berwick attack at her story

has a lot of people around the country wondering what they would

do. This 45`year`old mother was sitting

inside her porch when she spotted two pairs in her backyard, drawn in

by food left in garbage cans. They were running up towards the screen.

Worried her children could be in danger, she walked in the opposite

range `` direction. Then she saw five more bears on the driveway and

indie the Raj, eating trash. Suddenly, a 200 pound bear was

coming at her. It came charging at me and bit the side of my leg. Then

my site. And then grabbed my head. It started dragging me towards the

woods. Those teeth were just digging into my skull. While being dragged

towards the woods, she says she was praying. I said, please, I can't

leave my kids. My baby is neatly. It was then that the bear let go of my

head. I knew in that second I had to get up from there. Doctors used 30

stables to close the bite wounds on her head. Attacks like this are on

the rise across the country and in the spring their metabolism spikes,

which is why they are frequently spotted foraging for food in

residential areas. Tonight, she says she is thankful she was attacked and

not one of her children. These are wild animals and we need to respect

them. They have no place to go. If she was protecting her pub, I know

because I would do the same. `` her cub.

The future might be tucked into this backpack. The newest technology from

Volvo. This inflates in less than 40 seconds. It weighs less than half a

traditional car seat and is made of a special fabric designed by the

military, taking its strong enough to protect the child. It is still a

new design. No word when it might hit the market.

And calling on all amateur astronomers. Blood Moon. If you are

looking up in the sky tonight, you should be able to see it. Especially

if you live in the West or the centre of the country. It is a total

lunar eclipse. The moon burning a crimson red. It passes through the

earth's shadow. It will happen about 12:50am. Finally, something everyone

wants and hopes to pass on to their children. Confidence. That focused

vitality that leads to success. By air on the cover of the Atlantic

magazine, a new book on the science that says you can transform yourself

from a warrior into `` worrier into a warrior. Doesn't ever seem some

people are just hardwired with confidence? It turns out they are.

Research suggests up to 50% of our confidence comes from our DNA. I was

busy researching the origins of confidence and set out to learn my

genetic blueprint. One saliva test and I learned that in terms of the

key genes which contribute to confidence, I come up short. I am

more prone to anxiety than Brazilians and are more of a worrier

than warrior. `` than resilience. The parts of our brain that use

matters. Women have more areas that makes us likely to worry. But you

can overcome the confidence cards you are dealt at birth. We have

potential to rewire our brains. Practice makes permanent in the

brain. Scientists call it brain plasticity. We can create more

confident pathways with better habits. Some of the best, especially

for women, embrace failure. The experience of picking yourself back

up creates confidence. Listen to the pros. Failure is like. It is trying

to move us in another direction. The creator of this underwear product

was weaned on failure. And be authentic. Take a chance on that

long buried voice in your head, instead of listening to your inner

critic. The real core of who you worry is there. You have to keep

listening to it and your life will unfold the way it's supposed to.

Confidence, in other words, can also be a choice.

See you tomorrow night. It was a lovely start the week

across most parts of the UK, with plenty of sunshine. High pressure to

thank for that, which sticks around through the day. Plenty of sunshine
