One hour away from an eu emergency meeting on the violence in yemen. Horrific details about a woman who hid for two days in a closet during the terror rampage in kenya. Her incredible tale of survival and what she had to eat to stay alive. Pull over [ bleep ] you understand me . Thats crazy, inappropriate. How long have you been in this country . A new York City Police detective does an aboutface apologizing now to an uber driver after this really nasty rant. Always so good to have you with us on a saturday morning. Im christi paul. Im victor blackwell. 10 00 here on the east coast, 7 00 out west. You are in the cnn newsroom and we start with dramatic new developments in the conflicts. The u. N. Will discuss the humanitarian aid in saudi arabia leading a coalition of states in an air campaign against the rebels who seized the capital. This comes as new images of a senior al qaeda leader inside a president ial palace in southern yemen. We have to add cnn cannot confirm the aweuthenticity of the photos. Lets bring in Senior International correspondent Nic Robertson. What else do we know about Khaled Batraf sni. Reporter it say senior al qaeda leader in yemen, somebody the government locked up he was helping establish Training Camps and that is exactly what al qaeda is going to continue to do particularly at the moment because there is this high level of conflict now, the government is essentially broken down the huuti rebels are fighting the southern separatists in the town where the jailbreak took place, where bartarfi got out of jail. That tells you a lot about the situation. What al qaeda has done in the past is take advantage of instability in the country and gain control, gain a stronger foothold and that has everyone very worried at the moment. The saudis say their air Campaign Continues that theyve been targeting the huuthi leadership and using noncombat special forces on the ground to take control of it. I can hear aircraft in the air above us right now, saudi jets continuing to fly from here into yemen, but also importantly, the saudis say they also used special forces on an island right off the south coast of yemen, that is strategically important, that they say the huthis have been using to get help from iran to put weapons system on. The island is the sort of choke point on the gulf. Saudi special forces talking on houthi militants according to island sources. This has many dimensions, the al qaeda dimension the houthis, potential for interrupting International Oil flows and the u. N. Calling for the emergency session to discuss the fighting for humanitarian pause, 519 people according to the u. N. Killed so far and the hospitals are running out of medical supplies. Victor . Nick robertson, thank you so much. Lets bring in senior u. N. Correspondent richard roth. Good to see you this morning. What have you learned about the discussion . The meeting of the u. N. Security council was called by russia to discuss the issue of a humanitarian pause that Nic Robertson discussed, the increase in violence and the casualties in the fighting in yemen. This is the third weekend meeting on yemen, i believe, for the security council, and it hasnt exactly led to any type of halt in the fighting. If anything things have increased as big powers in the region do what they feel is necessary to protect their own interest. Now russia had been dueling with saudi arabia over the issue of coalition, Arab Coalition air strikes in yemen to fight the houthis. The Saudi Arabian said president putin of russia was using very critical language that was not needed because russia has decided always to defend assad in syria, leading to over 200,000 deaths. Back to you. How plausible is it the u. N. May have plans to help the saudi arabialed coalition, richard . Well they havent exactly formally backed anyone. They were backing the former president , who has fled and so right now, the council is not exactly coming out in this current phase of the fighting and saying we back saudi arabia we back this or that. Once again, it was another situation of watching to see developments on the ground may outrun political decisions that some countries dont want to have to make and putting it on the record here. Richard roth always appreciate it. Thank you, sir. Lets bring in michael weiss, coauthor of isis inside the army of terror. Michael, the public narrative is that this is an effort to get the Houthi Rebels in some ways back to a negotiating table of some sort. Is that accurate do you believe, that the saudis really want to bring the houthis back into some negotiating circle or is this an effort really to oust them . I think its more of the latter. Two reasons, number one they see iran and particularly the revolutionary guard corps spreading like a cancer throughout the region on their southern doorstep. Number two theyre sending a message to the United States. The pact americana where the u. S. Had the gulf states back against iran is now crumbling. The u. S. Is pursuing this deal with iran which the saudis believe is not just about the nuclear file but a broeter rapprochement with the islamic republic. The president of the United States made noise to that effect himself saying this could welcome iran into the community of nations. The saudis qatarie s ieqataris and kuwaitis are chewing the carpet with anxiety and fear this will allow iran to take over more of the region. Its an extraordinary thing they assembled this coalition quite quickly, according to a room in bloomberg last week the send of cent centcom was told an hour before Operation Decisive storm got under way. This was unprecedented after the 1970s what america has been able to do and how its been able to kind of regulate the activities in the region. The saudis dont want to see a settlement with the houthis. They want the houthis expunged. Lets talk about aqap. Even if the houthis are pulled out this vacuum will be filled by aqap. Isis to a smaller extent in emen as well. What is the realistic scenario of success here . What is the best outcome in yemen . To be honest with you, i dont know. I dont know what the saudis are playing at and what they think they can achieve. Yemen is a failed state. This is broadly speaking. You can get to a more granular analysis. Four major factions. Aqap the most formidable al qaeda franchise in the region minor but growing isis contingent sunni tribes which are more or less defending the government and then you have the houthi rebellion. Four competing factions vying for the same resources and same control of the land and so far weve seen massive air power brought to bear on this country. Does this mean there will be a Ground Invasion . The saudis have also indicated they might go that far. Lets project a little into the future. Say the saudis dispatch Ground Forces they may have already done special forces and covert opp os but does that mean they go head to head with Iranian Revolutionary guard . A proxy war becomes a hot war between saudi arabia and its nemesis in the region so the potential for a major catastrophe here is great. The fact that russia wants to sort of oversee a peaceful settlement i think should also be taken with very due amounts of skepticism here. The russians no doubt are standing mind iran and the houthis in this regard just as they have done the assad regime in syria. What do you expect out of this meeting today . Nothing. Okay. Simple answer. Truly, nothing. Let me ask you about one event that happened this week freeing of 270 prisoners by aqap. Do any of the prisoners, the threat to u. S. Interest is obvious lp. Yes. Do you believe theres any threat to the u. S. Homeland . Sure. Anwr awlaki the al qaeda cleric we killed with a drone strike he radicalized the underwear bomber abdulmutallab, and the queens girls that were arrested here in new york they were also radicalized by somebody with connections, actually the chief propaganda propagandaist for aqap. Now you have this major competition between al qaeda and isis the way the competition is played out is in the bloodshed on the streets of europe and the streets of the United States and the middle east and north africa. Were now at a rate of one major terrorist attack per month and also one moderate to mild terrorist threat that has been successfully thwarted by fbi Counterterrorism Forces also per month. So i think this is only a matter of time before unfortunately something really terrible is going to happen. Michael weiss, always good to have your insight. Thank you. Sure.

This young woman youre withabout to see now survived two days shaking in a closet after militants armed her college campus. This is cynthia, 19 years old in northeastern kenya and these are the first pictures of the young woman, christian purofoi joins us from the college where the attack happened thursday. First, christian, tell us about cynthia. Cynthia is 19 years old, victor and found today at 9 00 over 48 hours since the attack on that university happened. She said she hid in the wardrobe while the al shabab terrorists came in and separated christians from muslims. Heres what she had to say, victor. And then me i decided to go to the wardrobe. In the wardrobe we have these small rooms. And then i entered into that place and then i covered myself with the clothes, then these people ended up in the wardrobe and i had a roommate who were hidden themselves under the bed. They told them to go out, and when they were outside now, they told if you dont know how to read to them in the muslim word whatever, you lie down and then if you know you go to the other side. Reporter now, victor its a horror of a time you look for the stories of hope but cynthias story has such shocking elements. She had to drink body lotion while she was in the wardrobe to keep herself rehydrated. She was still in shock when we saw her and when she was found by the military she wouldnt leave the wardrobe. They had to get her principal, bring him back to the scene of the crime so he could tell cynthia it was okay these people were not going to kill her. Victor . Drinking body lotion to survive, i dont know if many people would have that presence of mind to do that. Were already hearing al shabab is threatening more attacks, right . Reporter yes, al shabab released a statement threatening blood bath basically. This entire region has seen plenty of al shabab attacks and only about a fourhour drive from somalia, which is the Al Shabab Stronghold kenya, its regional partners and American Drones are targeting al shabab leaders in the area but long border and easy for fighters to come across and hit soft targets like this university. I spoke to one, we spoke to the governor here and he said what al shabab are trying to do because there is a strong Christian Community here theyre trying to come in and create a division between the Christian Community and the muslim community. It is in that division that al shabab thrived in the chaos. Victor . Christian purefoy, thank you so much and thank you for bringing us cynthias story this morning. That is something else. A massive brawl erupts in a new york casino punches, flying chairs arrests and thousands of dollars in damage. We have details for you. Plus a new york cop is apologizing after one ugly rant at an uber driver that went viral. 22 minutes aever the hour now. Lets get you caught up on other stories were following this morning. A new york Police Detective offering an apology after his rant at an uber driver went viral. Remember this . Pull over [ bleep ] me. You understand me . Pull over. No, thats crazy, really inappropriate. How long have you been in this country . Almost two years. Almost how long . Two years. Two years, i got news for you, remember this in the future dont ever do that again. The only reason youre not in handcuffs going to jail and getting in the precinct is because i have things to do. Thats the only reason thats not happening. Because this isnt important enough for me youre not important enough. That was nypd detective patrick cherry who has since been put on desk duty. He said hes sorry and his emotions got the best of him. I sincerely apologize. What do you want him to know . That excuse me that im not mad at him, i was just angry at that moment for that exchange i was angry for that exchange. If the conversation initially went differently, we probably would have shook hands at the end of the encounter. Since the original video was released he was removed from the citys joint Terrorism Task force as well. A wild brawl caught on video. Look at this. You can hear the glass breaking the chair thrown. Dozens of people were throwing chairs and punches at this casino in queens new york. Three men have been arrested and an injured officer sent to the hospital. Here is the issue. Nobody knows why these folks were fighting. Hmm. A third American Woman is taken into federal custody accused of terror charges. What is driving the disturbing trend of women sympathizing with isis . Well take a closer look at that for you. First this weeks ones to watch series examines the art of sculpture. We meet a rising star awarded the Guinness World record for the worlds smallest sculpture. If you look closely, youll see a pair of feet. These are the first steps in the creation of the worlds smallest sculpture. My first reaction to the scale as an artist was to go absolutely nano as tiny as possible. The figure of a woman dances on a thread of human hair so small she can only be viewed through a microscope. I think the division between art and science should never be. Both science and art need structure. They need discipline but they also need intuition. No one else works like him today. His art is to do with a mix between the emotional and the intelligent, and thats what gives it that spark. That finger is a millionth of a meter, a millionth of a meter. Stunning. A lot of the artistic expression that i bring to the world represents the absolute current moment in Human Development whether its 3d printing whether its technology whether its science, i love my art to represent you now in a way that can ohm, you know almost i sometimes say contemporary art down to the millisecond. Something else, isnt it . Catch the full show at cnn. Com onestowatch. Well be right back. You forgot the milk thats lactaid®. Right. 100 real milk just without the lactose. So, no discomfort . Exactly. Try some. Mmm, it is real milk. Lactaid®. 100 real milk. No discomfort. Hi, tom. Hey, hows the College Visit . You remembered. Its good. Does it make the short list . You remembered that too. Yea, im afraid so. Knowing our clients personally is what we do. Its okay. This is what weve been planning for. Thanks, bye. And with over 13,000 Financial Advisors we do it a lot. Its why edward jones is the big company that doesnt act that way. Body pain .
