Set a record. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Thank you for joining us, im natalie allen. Good to be with you, natalie. Im errol barnet. We are wrapping up the week with all the information you need to know. Now we begin this hour with ukraine. The president elect there threatening retaliation. Hes threatening to punish the militant who shot down a helicopter. The crash killed 14 people including a ukrainian general. The white house is suggesting concern that pro russian separatists are getting their hands on weapons they would not normally have. Now we cannot yet verify the details of these reports, but we are concerned that this indicates separatists continue to have access to advanced weaponry and other assistance from the outside. Meantime, the selfstyled mayor of slovyensk are holding four european people who disappeared on sunday. The mayor of donestk is wondering who the leaders are. Meanwhile, russia has now moved some 30,000 troops back from ukraines border to their home bases and only about 10,000 remain. The source says there are indications those remaining troops are also going to move away and that the u. S. Government believes russia may have decided to work with the new ukrainian government. Good news there. That would be a blow to the separatists who are hoping for russian support. The militants admit they suffered heavy casualties at the donestk international airport. What is particularly noteworthy is where the dead fighters came from. Nick peyton walsh reports. Reporter there will be funerals again, but not just in ukraine. Startling admissions from separatists at donetsk morgue. My little son, she says. Separatists distanced by the kremlin also admitted something they denied for weeks. Perhaps it is a sign of desperation that the militants, their appeals unanswered. The men taken away in the could have fins are russian citizens, 33 in number by their own admission. They came to help create the net peoples republic, he says. Volunteers paid nothing but 100 a week for cigarettes. Their bodies will now be sent back to russia for burial. Translator we hope that a corridor will emerge from russia, he says, to take people out. Our militants will escort them but we dont believe anybody from kiev. The total militant death toll may be 70 making monday the worst losses yet. In ukraine since the shootings down in kiev. Reporter also the worst days casualties for ukraines military. Another helicopter brought down near slovyensk. At least 12 dead soldiers, including one dead general. The separatists headquarters in central denetsk were looking for looters. Hours later the new authorities had emerged. The same separatists, the chechens were helping them clear up and instill order. Two men held at gun point in the back of a truck. The same sense of volatility in the air. Nic payton walsh, cnn, donetsk. India, two teenage girls gang raped and hung from a tree. Its really unfathomable how this can happen. We want to warn you the video is graphic. Cnn wanted to make sure how horrible this is so we wanted to show you. They accuse three brothers of the crime and cnn has learned now that at least two men have been arrested. Its very difficult footage to watch there. Three policemen have also been removed from duty for not registering the cases when the girls were reported missing. For more perspective on the story lets turn to divia ire. Thank you very much for your time. I just want to start with what new information you may have. I know Amnesty International reliesir releasing a report on the pervasiveness of violence on women. What have you found . We are issuing a Public Statement soon. What weve found is that the police are issuing a probe into it. Two police have been suspended and two are charged with dereliction of duty. They went to the Police Station to register them missing, they, in fact, said they are in danger of being kidnapped, murdered or raped but the officer in charge instead of registering the case slapped the father and did not take into account the fear or the harm that could happen. So in that accepts the police have taken action, but as we understand in this country, violence against women is a serious issue. The concerns are still there that the perpetrators are from a dominant class. Victims are from the absolute bottom of the social hierarchy which has been entrenched for years in the indian society. The fear are that the family may not be able to get justice. That puts pressure on the government to hold people responsible, the perpetrators and the police which did not help and assist the victims in this case accountable and bring them to justice. It sounds like this is such a difficult issue to tackle considering there are societal economic causes and youre mentioning corruption there as well. There is a new Prime Minister in the country. He has met with his cabinet this week and started a plan with what to tackle the first 100 days. Our reporter in india is telling us violence against women is not even on his agenda and there was a recent poll that tell us 90 of people do feel that violence against women is a top priority so how can the government aim to tackle such a large and pervasive issue . Thats correct. You can only do something so much when you have to deal with something as indem anything. Theyll be having extremely progressive laws that we had last year. There is a lot more to do. That Political Leadership is unfortunately missing. In fact, the Political Leadership has gone under guard just a few weeks ago saying, boys will be boys. They will make mistakes. That is the kind of understanding of sexual violence, especially on women that is going to be very difficult to end this. The new government insisting Prime Minister modi said he would put toilets ahead of temples. I think hes got a great opportunity to do it and prove what he said was not just a Campaign Slogan but something he actually believes in and put the Political Authority and bureaucracy behind it. There are more than 600 Million People which is over half the population of india in the open. This is 2014. Violence against women is not dealt with. If people dont have the basic sanitation facilities, its a shame in 2014 people dont have basic access to amenities. Its not just about dignity. A lot has to do with the rights for justice. A lot of other things are mixed in it. The new government has a lot on their plate. There is a great opportunity and the Prime Minister himself having made that statement, putting toilets before temples, he is accountable to implement those things. I can certainly hear the passion in your voice as we talk about such an important issue. Divya ire there. These are political, difficult, horrific incidents. There is an opportunity now for real change to come to the country. Thank you for joining us on cnn. We do have more on the issue of safety for women in india. Turn to cnn. Com. You can see a report. Youll find other related articles and videos all at cnn. Com. Natalie . The United States says it has confirmed a suicide bomber who staged an attack in syria was, in fact, an american. Sources tell cnn he grew up in florida and was known as ab abu hurerrera. Various videos show him preparing for and attacking a government checkpoint. He was associated with the el nusra front. All right. We move to a more uplifting story here. Whats 2 billion to buy a Basketball Team if youre worth 20, right, natalie . I ask you this all the time. Yeah. Yeah. So much money, so little to do with it. Former microsoft ceo is who were talking about. Thats him, steve bomber. Hes worth that much. Hes poised to fork over that much to buy the los angeles clippers. He submitted the highest of several huge bids for the team which the nba as you know is forcing owner Donald Sterling to sell. Now a 2 billion price tag is by far the largest paid for an nba franchise. Ballmer is promising to keep the team in los angeles. Sports franchises have surged in value over the years. The pending clippers sale could be the best example yet. Look at what Donald Sterling paid for the clippers back in 1981. Just 12 million. Today, 2. 2 billion price tag is 167 times the amount of the original purchase price. Donald sterling owns the clippers as part of the Sterling Trust with his estranged wife of 58 years, shelly sterling. The nba forced them to sell after sterling was recorded making racist comments widely publicized. Were sure youve heard them now. Shelly sterling orchestrated the deal with ballmer. His Attorney Says donald has the will to fight. Hes not consenting to the league confiscating his property which you can now see is worth more than 1 billion. Hes not consenting to pay a 2. 5 million fine or to be banished from the stadium for the rest of his life. These are draconian remedies that exceed anything anybody has ever done in any professional sport, and what is the basis of it . An illegal recording. An illegal record that go cannot be used. So there may yet be a fight. Well wait and see. The sale still must be approved also by nba owners at a meeting set for next tuesday. Well see what happens next week. Edward snowden insists he spoke out before deciding to leak u. S. Intelligence secrets. Coming up, hear what u. S. Officials are saying about that claim. Hackers create a fake new site to lure officials from the u. S. And around the world. Who could be behind this devious scheme . I always wanted to design a bike that honored those who serve our country. And geico gave me that opportunity. Now naturally, we wanted it to be powerful, innovative and we built this bike as a tribute to those who are serving, those who have served and their families. And i think we nailed it. Geico. Proudly serving the military for over 75 years. Well, the back and forth between the u. S. Government and Edward Snowden heating up yet again. Yeah, in an interview with nbc the exnsa agent was asked why he leaked classified information. When the president said you should have gone through channels, become a whistle blower and not pursue the route you did, whats your response . I actually did go through channels and that is documented. The nsa has records. They have copies of emails right now to their office of general counsel, to their oversight and compliance folks from me raising concerns about the nsas interpretations of its legal authorities. Well, the nsa is responding to that claim. The agency released what it says is the only email snowden sent to supervisors. It appears to show that he posed a legal question about a training program. It december not mention concerns about the controversial surveillance program. Already snowden is firing back in an interview with the washington post, he says the nsas response is incomplete. Well probably continue to hear more from that interview as nbc releases it. Well, Cyber Intelligence experts say iranian hackers have targeted u. S. Military and political leaders. Theyre saying theyre also targeting personnel in brittain, saudi arabia and other countries all of this through false social networking accounts and a fake website. Be careful who you friend. Details from washington. Reporter the hackers use social networks and a brazen and creative scheme to spy on u. S. And israeli officials. A new report from a private Cyber Security firm claims that theyre located in iran. While its low level, its one of the highest centers. They have a bogus online news site, news on air. Sometimes they use real reporters names, photos and buy owes. They strike up relationships with friends, relatives and colleagues on social media sites on facebook and linkedin. Once the contact is made they send links with real news stories in order to establish their credibility. Over the time they lure the target to a fake website where they steal their passwords and other credentials. In all, the report found more than 2,000 connections by hackers made in the past three years, including a four star u. S. Admiral, british and saudi officials, journalists and lawmakers. None of them were nad. They appear to be after National Security intelligence. What information the hackers took is unclear. Theres no smoking gun pointing to official iranian involvement but it cites circumstantial evidence. What we can say, based on who was targeted, the type of information they were going after, the infrastructure that was used and where its registered in tehran and a number of other indicators that we believe there are links to iranian act. Facebook says it was made aware of the scene when it was made aware by its members. Linkedin said its investigating the claims. The fbi and state department have received the report and arent commenting on it directly, but the state Department Says it has known in the past that hackers from iran have used social media sites to investigate targets, including u. S. Officials. Cnn, the state department. And still to come here, its not just General Motors thats mired in car recalls. Thats right. Now another one of detroits big three is calling back a huge number of cars. Also ahead here, freaking out at the top of the chicago skyscraper. Why sight seers thought they were about to fall 400 meters to the ground. All right. Did you see that . That was another strong finish on wall street thursday. The s p 500 posted its 13th record high this year as investors shrugged off a weak report on u. S. Growth. Yeah. The countrys Gross Domestic Product contracted 1 in the first quarter. Its the first time thats happened in three years, but most economists say its a one off setback due to extreme winter weather. We have this business headline for you. Ford recalling 1. 4 million vehicles in north america for possible steering issues. Most of them are suvs. Faulty sensors and electrical connections could cause the vehicles to lose power steering. Ford says its aware of 20 accidents that might be related to these issues. Another big three automaker, General Motors you might remember, has recalled 16 million vehicles this year. If you live in the southern u. S. , you dont need us to tell you its raining outside. Really, parts of the country, the u. S. , being inundated with rain. Absolutely. People trying to drive were struck in flooding. Ivan cabrera is reporting that for us. Youve heard its raining cats and dogs. Of course. How about frogs . That is a whole different deal. Here we go. This is from the National Weather service in wilmington, in North Carolina. They go out and they weather the rainfall and they have to empty, some of them anyway, not the automated stations, old school, have to empty the rain gauge. This little guy showed up. I thought i would share that with you. Looks like a golden poison frog that can kill 10 to 20 humans with a milligram of poison here but thats endemic of columbia. Theyre probably okay with that one, not to scare our friends there. But look at the rainfall that has fallen across the southern u. S. As we go from North Carolina into the louisiana because thats where the action has been. These rainfall tallies are from wednesday. It rained heavily on thursday as well. If youre watching from the u. S. , 25 millimeters is about an inch. Were talking about 7 inches here caused this. Lets take you into some of the scenes in louisiana. Man, youve been waiting through waist high water and some just incredible scenes coming out of the south there. Things, well, floating where they shouldnt be. Incredible stuff there. It continues. Whats happening is we have this upper low thats enhancing our typical afternoon showers and thunderstorms that we get this time of year. This low is meandering and be hanging out. It will enhance the rain and take a look at this. Not just louisiana, but florida getting into this as well. Very heavy rainfall. Notice a bit of a spin still seeing the feature present in our computer model forecast for the next 48 hours and then just the moisture surging in from the gulf. That will be enough to produce heavy amounts of rainfall here. Again, in new orleans in the next 48 hours, 25, 25, a couple of inches there in the next few days. Also keeping an eye on Severe Weather in Central Europe here with very heavy rainfall since yesterday. We continue with this feature as well. Drying a little bit north and west but now seeing some heavy rainfall as well in romania. Heat, record breaking heat. Well take you to china when i see you in the next half hour. Ivan, thanks very much. Space x is taking space travel to the next level. Yes. The company has just unveiled a new spacecraft to help the u. S. Once again carry astronauts to the International Space station and without the help of russia who recently announced it may not be taking u. S. Astronauts aboard its rockets to the space station anymore. This company is introducing the dragon b2. Looking very cool. Space x founder elan musk said it can transport several astronauts for several days. It will be reusable. Theyre hoping it will be ready for its first use by 2017. Elan musk. He is an entrepreneur. Indeed. Now if space travel is too extreme, how about getting 103 stories in the air, sticking out more than a meter from a building when suddenly what youre standing on seems to be cracking apart under your feet . Im already getting the heebiejeebies. Thats what it felt like to five tourists standing inside a glass box. Would you get in one of those . I would. Standing atop the wills tower in chicago, they heard the noise below them and saw lines that appeared to be forming through the glass so they jumped off the box as fast as they could. I couldnt actually say much. You would expect like holy [ bleep ]. It was just like i just jumped off. I literally jumped off. You could see the glass actually just like a spider web, immediately just light up. Shattered. Completely shattered. So he didnt even have time to say beep, he just got out of there. Officials say it was only a protective coating on the glass, not to worry, just the coating, not the glass itself, and they say no one was ever in any danger. Yeah, okay. The sight seeing boxes on the tower are expected to hold 5 ton. Everyone is all right
