The automakers recall. What it means for the safety of the future. Theres nothing more than videotaped crime scenes watched by predators lurking in the corner in the internet. A child porn arrest including a ran by, and dozens of parents. Hello, everyone. Good to have you with us. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Im john vause. Welcome to our viewers around the United States and the world. At least 31 people are dead and others wounded after an explosion in chinas northwest. President xi jinping is vowing to get the people who did this. We get the latest now from David Mckenzie reporting in from beijing. The attack happened in the Early Morning hours in western chin na. It appears according to state media that two crosscountry vehicles were traveling from north to south plowed into people near an open market and then explosives were thrown out of that vehicle. Photographs from the scene taken by people who say they were witnesses show definite car naming and people lying on the street being tended to. This area is an area where there have been a number of incidents in the past including in early may with an attack on a train station. It is unclear exactly who carried out this attack at this point, but given the nature of it, its a very potential serious escalation of the troubles that have beset that province often blamed by chinese authorities looking to have an autonomous state. Those who represent the weaker minority in the diaspora say this can often be because of local disagreements. Unclear exactly what this incident was and who exactly was behind it. It happened near the square in downtown ronchi which is a very sensitive area with many government buildings. David mckenzie, cnn, beijing. Demonstrators in nigeria plan to march on the president ial office today as they try to keep attention focused on those missing Nigerian School girls. Theyre playing in a number of other countries as well from kazakhstan, south africa, greece and argentina. In the meantime, the u. S. Is sending 80 military people to chad to search for the girls. They say the personnel are not combat troops. Theyre there to help with surveillance and reconnaissance for aircraft missions. People have said its a needle in a haystack. Its a needle in a jungle. Were talking about an area roughly the size of West Virginia and its dense forest jungle. We do still believe that these girls have been split up into small groups. For all we know, i dont know this for a fact, but they could be broken up into smaller groups yet still and be moved around so its very difficult in terms of the geography, the actual size, just square miles of what were trying to search and then of course you have this very dense jungle cover. So its going to be hard. And the u. S. Congress is trying to figure out what more the United States can do to help find the kidnapped girls. They heard some dramatic testimony wednesday from a 15yearold girl whose father and brother were both killed by boko haram. Nina jones has our report. Reporter members of the House Foreign Affairs committee had a lot of questions from two officials in the pentagon. They wanted to know what more can the u. S. Do to help the Nigerian Government do to find and arrest these girls. Before the committee they heard from Deborah Peters who is a survivor from the same town in chibuk. She came under attack in december of 2011 when she was 12 years old. They were targeted because they were christians, her father who was a pastor and her brother were killed by three members of boko haram. She spoke to reporters after that private meeting. Heres part of what she told us about what happened on that scary night. They shoot my brother twice and when they shoot my brother, thats when my dad died and my brother fall and he was moving, they shoot in his mouth. Then he died immediately. So after that i was in shock so i dont know what happens happening. They put me in the middle of my dad and my brother so they run away. The next day nobody help me throughout the night. I was in shock. So the next day the soldiers came and took them to hospital. Deborah peter is now safe. Shes living in virginia, but she knew at least one of the girls who was kidnapped in april. And by now youre familiar with that hashtag weve been seeing on twitter and other social media, bring back our girls. At the end of the meeting she brought back a sign bring back my sisters. Athena jones, cnn, washington. The white house says it has seen russian troop activity along the border but its too early to call it a withdrawal. Russia says it is pulling back a promise Vladimir Putin has made at least three times before. He says he wants to provide extra favorable conditions for the election on sunday. They say they have 30,000 troops on the border raising fears of a wider influence. They said it was hacked two months ago exposing customer data, addresses, phone numbers and birth dates but the Online Auction account wont say how many people were targeted. Its asking all of its 140 million users to reset their passwords. One computer privacy expert says thats not enough. Changing your password is helpful a couple of times i think, but after a while you sort of run out of variations on your pets names so i think after that the burden really shifts back to the companies and to congress to make sure that all of the appropriate protections are in place. I think that ebay should reexamine the kinds of privacy protective technology that theyre using so they should look at their encryption standards and they should make sure theyre using the strongest protection available. In the meantime ebay subsidiary paypal has been able to allay some fears. They say they were untouched by the breech. Police in california have located a woman who has been missing for a decade. Investigators say this man, her mothers livein boyfriend, drugged and kidnapped the victim when she was 15. They say that he later forced her into marriage and in 2012 the two had a child. Police found the victim at this apartment after she reached out to her sister on facebook. The suspect told her that her parents had stopped looking for her and if she tried to go home, her family would be deported. Garcia is now under arrest. 71 people are under arrest in a major new york area child pornography bust. One Law Enforcement official calls the backgrounds of many of the suspects shocking. Attorney ayello of wcbs tv in new york has the details. These crimes are hideous and reasonable people cannot fathom such depravity. Reporter the computers were seized. Illegal images of children shared on peertopeer sites. These are real children who have been abused, victimized for entertainment for an unfortunately large and twisted population. Also a among the accused, a boy scout leader, a woman manufacturing porn with a child under 13. An nypd sergeant is arrested on child porn charges. It is shocking so many people in positions are trust were arrested. This operation puts the lie to the classic stereotypical profile that child predators are no more than predators. Some will be convicted in state court. The conduct of the crime is not elevated one possesses one image or 1,000. Thats simply a law that makes absolutely no sense. The suspects could face up to 25 years in prison. About 1 3 remain in custody. The others were released on bond reaching from 35,000 to 100,000. Still to come on cnn newsroom, americas largest auto maar have recalled 100,000 vehicles. Well tell you whats next for gm. Well tell you what has russia and china raising hundreds of billions of dollars. It has been a record setting year for u. S. Automaker General Motors. Not in a good way. More than 2,000 recalls just since january. Poppy harlow looks at just how bad its going to get. Reporter 11 recall announcements in the past week as General Motors wraps up 13. 8 million u. S. Recalls this year alone. So this has been a banner year for g. M. In a bad way. Theyve had 29 separate recalls this year so far which has been big. Reporter gm has recalled more cars this year than it has sold since exiting bankruptcy in 2009 leaving just about everyone wondering whats going on with gm. Weve moved from a cost culture to the customer culture. Reporter the surge in recalls is because its holding itself to higher safety standards. They follow newly minted marry barras congressional testimony about why it took more than a decade to fix an ignition switch which has been tied to 13 deaths. Employees from engineers, investigators all the way up to executives were briefed on information associated with this recall. That violation cost gm the maximum 35 million fine and will likely cost the company more in victim compensation. My sincere apologies to everyone who has been affected by this recall, especially the families and friends who lost their lives or were injured. Reporter but barra is not new to General Motors. Shes been with the company for 33 years. Formerly Vice President of Global Product Development leaving lingering questions about what she knew when about product flaws in gm vehicles. I was not aware that there was this issue until the recall was introduced on january 31st. Had gm acted differently, perhaps some of this tragedy might not might have been averted. Reporter gm says thats exactly what its doing now, hence, the mountain of recalls. The last thing they want is to be accused of delaying another one. Theyre cleaning out their closets, going through and finding every issue that theyve had in the past that maybe should have been a recall and making it a recall. Reporter so far fixing all those recalled cars will cost gm 1. 7 billion this year and the stock is down 18 year to date, but what might be surprising is that all the recalls havent made a dent in gm sales which were 7 higher in april than a year ago. What gm is doing, talking, saying were going to be a good corporate citizen, but theyve said the same thing in the past. The proof is really in the pudding. Reporter so are more recalls coming soon . In an email to cnn, gm wrote, quote, we are aggressively addressing issues as they come up. Accused of haggling, china and russia have reached a huge energy deal. Beginning in 2018, russia will supply natural gas to china. Neither one will say how much beijing has paid but the agreement is expected to be worth about 400 billion. John breaks it all down. Reporter this deal between russia and china has been in the works for a decade but it was the final two days which proved to be the most difficult. The two parties needed to close a pricing gap. Russia wanted to charge the pricing it had within the European Union to china and china was looking to match what it got from central asia. Vladimir putin and xi jinping closed the gap to sign a better than 400 billion action. Theyll have two pipe lines coming from china to russia. They want to have this up and running by 2018. This was very important for Vladimir Putin on many, many levels. First and foremost, it kind of ends the isolation at least right now from the Business Community because of the sanctions and it proves that it can turn eastward growth. His priorities are china, south korea, japan, and eventually india, and thirdly we see the dramatic slowdown in russia. Economic growth is over 1 and projections of a recession in 2013. This is a sign he can go into the rest of the year pushing growth to try to revive the scenario particularly ahead of the st. Petersburg Economic Forum that starts on thursday. Cnn, st. Petersberg.

Unusual to see that setup, of course. A very populated area in the city of denver. We had multiple tornado warnings. The storm system is falling apart. Reports of an official tornado touching down around aurora, colorado. We have hail 4 1 2 centimeters in diameter. We know in the United States in 2012, hail related insurance claims usually upwards of 3 to 4 billion a year. You take a look at this. This is happening on wednesday afternoon.

You bet. Now to a scandal thats outraged several americans. Cooking the books. Dozens of people have died while waiting for medical care. President obama is now speaking out about the problems. Reporter for president obama its another buck stops here moment, this time over allegations of hiding veteran wait times at va facilities. If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful and i will not tolerate it, period. Reporter after meeting with Veterans Affairs official eric shinseki, he said his days may be numbered. I have said to rick and i said it to him today, i want to see, you know, what the results of these reports are, and there is going to be accountability. Reporter veterans groups were quick to slam the president s comments. They said his decision to keep shinseki at his post is a problem. There is no urgency. Reporter the white house faces a political crisis thats building with 26 va facilities under investigation. I dont yet know are there a lot of other facilities that have been cooking the books or is this just an episodic problem . Reporter this is not the first time the president has been caught off guard by his administrations failures. He tauted healthcare. Gov before the launch. Nobody is as mad as me about the fact that the website isnt working. Theres a pattern. I first learned about it from the same news reports i think most people learned about this. I think it was on friday. Reporter and the president s Crisis Management is also familiar standing by shinseki as he did with hhs secretary kathleen sebelius. Is he too detached from some of the nuts and bolts of running the government and the administration . I think if you look at how the president handles a challenge like the website and handles this challenge, he responds by needing action. 9 only action is ordering secretary shinseki to complete his internal investigation by next week and that they complete a broader review by next month. Any further action would come after that. Jim accost a, cnn, the white house. Thailands rival political groups are meeting again there bangkok, day through.
