Fiveyear veteran with the Charleston Police department being charged with murder. This comes incredibly quickly. This shooting took place saturday afternoon, just four days ago. And the state Law Enforcement department there in the state of South Carolina has charged him with murder. In this video, its dramatic, you see in the initial moments of the video the victim in this case, 50yearold walter scott, very close to the officer but starting to run away. You see some objects fall to the ground. Officer slager apparently said that he feared for his life or he felt like he was in danger because the victim had reached for his taser. But walter scott gets about 25 feet away, four seconds later and eight shots, walter scott drops to the ground. He is later pronounced dead at the scene. And then one interesting piece, if you look closely at the video, at one point you see slager go back to where the initial confrontation had taken place and dropped something next to Walter Scotts body. Its not clear if thats the taser. Then moments later he goes back and picks up that very same object. It is clear, john and christine, that this video played a dramatic role in these murder charges being filed against officer Michael Slager. John and christine . Ed lavandera, thanks. This was a traffic stop for a broken or cracked taillight. Now, on top of the state murder charges, officer slager faces an fbi investigation for possibly violating Walter Scotts civil rights. Hes also likely to be named in a civil lawsuit planned by scotts family. They were outraged heartbroken when they spoke to the media last night. Their lawyer called slager, quote, a cop who felt like he could get away with just shooting someone in the back. Walter scotts brother, anthony, remembered him as a coast guard veteran and the father of four children. I have i had two brothers. I had two brothers. But now i have one brother. But out of my brothers, he was the most outgoing out of all of us. He had he knew everybody. He knew he knew family i didnt know. He knew he had friends i didnt know. He was well known in the community everywhere. Everywhere. And he was just an outgoing type of person. And loving and kind. That was just his nature. City officials in North Charleston, they spoke out as well. The mayor says he is grateful that someone was there to capture that moment on camera and step forward with the video. The police chief says he has been devastated by the actions of his officer. The video is very demonstrative of exactly what happened. Without the video and that was the only witness there was, actually was the gentleman that was making the video it would be difficult to ascertain exactly what did occur. We want to thank the young person that came forward with the video. Youve been around me a long time. And you know i think that all of these Police Officers on this force, the men and women, are like my children. So you tell me how a father would react to seeing his child act do something. Ill let you answer that yourself. South carolina political figures reacting to the Police Shooting and these murder charges as well. In a Statement Released overnight, governor nikki haley said what happened in this case is not acceptable in South Carolina. On twitter, senator tim scott said after watching the video, the senseless shooting and taking of Walter Scotts life was absolutely unnecessary and avoidable. My heart aches for the family and our North Charleston community. I will be watching this case closely. A broken taillight. A broken taillight. New this morning, u. S. Officials are investigating a breach of White House Computers by Russian Hackers. U. S. Officials briefed on the investigation say the white house hack is connected to a damaging intrusion into the state department computers weve been telling you about since last year. Justice reporter evan perez picks up the story from washington. Evan. Reporter john, christine, Russian Hackers in recent months broke into sensitive parts of the white house email system. They even conceived parts of the president s schedule not disclosed to the public in realtime. The hackers are believed to be working for the russian government. And according to u. S. Officials, they pulled off one of the most serious Cyber Breaches of u. S. Government agencies. This breach is one reason why u. S. Intelligence officials recently increased warnings about the cyber threat from russia. The white house disclosed suspicious activity in its unclassified email systems in october. But Officials Say even unclassified emails contain Sensitive Information thats valuable to foreign spies. The hackers got in first by breaking into the state departments email servers. Then they tricked someone into giving them access to the system serving the executive office of the president. Federal agencies are now warning employees to beware of socalled phishing emails. These appear to come from trustworthy email accounts but actually contain Malicious Software which gives hackers the ability to take over their computers. John, christine . Evan, thank you. Happening now, the United States is deepening its involvement in the battle for yemen. Speeding up delivery of weapons and increasing intelligence sharing with saudi arabia. For two weeks the saudis have been launching airstrikes against Houthi Rebels who they say are being trained and armed by iran. Lets bring in Senior International correspondent Nic Robertson who is live for us in saudi arabia. Nic . Reporter good morning, christine. Those saudi coalitionled airstrikes over the capital, sanaa not so heavy last night, targeting areas around Key Oil Fields areas that houthis are believed to be moving into, trying to take control of. So those strikes apparently to stop them there. Strikes around aden yesterday do appear to have sort of blunted the houthis attackthere. Aden quieter han it has been. But this is the clearest indication yet of Antony Blinken that the saudi authorities here intend to continue this air campaign. This is what he said. Saudi arabia is sending a strong message to the houthis and their allies that they cannot overrun yemen by force. In support of that effort we have expedited weapons deliveries we have increased our intelligence sharing, and weve established a joint coordination and planning cell in the saudi operations center. Reporter now, with this increased intelligence sharing, it doesnt allow the United States to provide direct targeting information to the saudis. However, what it does do when the saudis have decided what it is theyre going to target to share that with the United States. The United States to review it then advise potentially for any civilian targets. And yesterday there was a case where a civilian target was right next to a military a civilian school was right next to a military target. The military target was hit. It had been hit before but the school was also hit, and six children were killed. So this additional intelligence sharing agreement may improve that situation, christine. We certainly hope so. Nic robertson for us in saudi arabia thank you, nic. Critics of the deal to curb Irans Nuclear program are being disingenuous. Those words straight from the head of the cia. John brennan told students at harvards school of government critics shouldnt rip apart a solid deal. He said its impossible to expect iran to dismantle everything. Brennan did say he understands why some could have reservations opinion another breakthrough in the historic thaw between the United States and cuba might happen as early as today. The state department expected to recommend that cuba be removed as a state sponsor of terrorism. Once a state Department Recommendation is made, secretary of state john kerry will pass it along to president obama who has said he would quickly accept that recommendation. Congress would then have 45 days to override the president s decision, but they would need a vetoproof majority to do so. It sounds like a schoolhouse rock episode, singing it on the capitol steps.

Since june there have been more than 50,000 oil job cuts in the u. S. Thanks to falling oil. This is a cnn money analysis. Layoffs are up almost 4,000 in the oil patch in the First Quarter.
