m john berman. it s friday, april 5th. we will start with missiles on the move. a short time ago, a u.s. official told cnn that north korea is hiding a second missile along its east coast that missile and its launch components were transferred in the last few days close enough to strike south korea and japan. this apparent deployment comes along with escalating rhetoric from the north which accuses the u.s. of pushing the region to the brink of war. jim clancy has more from seoul, south carolina. reporter: u.s. and south korean military sources are firm. they believe that north korea is planning a test missile firing. speculation in the media suggest suggests it may be a missile developed with russian help by the north koreans and has a range between 3,000 and 4,000 kilometers. that s significant, because it would put not only south korea but japan and usa.s. air and nal bases on guam at risk. but this is more likely a test to provoke pyongyang s foes. here is what victoria newman had to say. when you have a country making the bellicose threats they re making, when you have ally and treaty commitments you have to take it seriously. there is no other choice, she said. so the u.s. already has ships in the region including a radar platform. south korea is said to be moving its own spy ships into the waters off the korean peninsula to monitor developments. now, it may also be an opportunity for the north koreans to show off their military, their ballistic military technology. it is precisely this kind of technology that they sell to iran and other countries to earn export income. jim clancy, cnn, seoul. developing over night, the cooling system at the fukushima nuclear power plant is up and running again after it failed. tokyo power system signaled an alarm when

danger to the public. documents released this week showed dr. lynn fenton, a psychiatrist with the university of colorado, contacted a campus officer about holmes. an affidavit said holmes stopped seeing dr. fenton. the district attorney of kaufman county, texas was shopping for guns the day before he and his wife were found shot to death in his home. according to the store s owner, mike mclelland was not shopping for himself but for others. funeral services will be held for mike and cynthia mclelland. a memorial service for the couple was held yesterday. the manhunt continues this morning in colorado for two white supremacists in connection with the state s prison chief, tom clemens. he was gunned down in his home last month. a clerical error allowed the man accused of killing him to get out early. but in an exclusive interview, clemens widow and two daughters say they want the focus to be on the hero victim, not the killer or killers. reporter: with the courage and strength most of us could only help for, lisa clemens, wed d widow of tom clemens, sat down with her daughters and anderson coop coop cooper. what do you want people to know about your husband? there s been so much about who he was, his career, and what he did in corrections. certainly he had a significant impact and was a leader in his field. for me, much more significant is the integrity of the person that i know and love. and and that he really, truly cared about other people. reporter: something she saw in tom from an early age. he met you when you were 19? yes. at school? yes. what was it about you that drew you to him? so, he is he s fun, he s kind, and passionate about life. so, at a very early age that was ve very very interesting to me. reporter: tom clemens loved the outdoors in colorado and hiking with his daughters. as the public focuses on his career, sarah and rachel see a different man. he is my hero. he intervened in my life so many times, just really changed my path. i just want people to know that, you know, he s my dad. i would like people to see how he lived his life, and that that is so much more important than how he died. that he lived his life with such passion and such compassion for other people. reporter: in his professional life that compassion extended to the inmates in his prisons, and even though it appears one of those very prisoners gunned him down, his wife is already searching for forgiveness. i ve heard tom in our years together so many times talk about victims with whom he s spoken, who describe their entire lives falling apart, their marriages falling apart, health falling apart because of the rage and the lack of forgiveness towards the person who harmed their loved one or took the life of their loved one. conversely, victims with whom he s spoken who simply said i have to let go so i can live my life and that s that s what i choose. reporter: though it appears her husband s killer was released from prison early due to a clerical error, she vows not to let resentment or hatred dominate her life. for the rest of my days i could be angry that someone made a mistake and didn t capture what a judge conveyed verbally. but it won t bring tom back. then my life is lost in that. and my ability to be a good mother to my children. so so i choose not to make it a focus. reporter: a choice to let the light chase away the darkness. there s a scripture talking about when darkness overtakes the godly, light comes bursting through. and i think that that scripture captures exactly what i would like people to know about tom. that that horrific night and, you know, the sound of that doorbell and all that happened was it just was an unmentionable darkness, but i i trust that people will see light coming through. that they ll see that a man lived a good life and peoples lives are impacted by that. reporter: a light that will be remembered long after his killer is forgotten. jim spellman, cnn, denver. what

as february when job growth took a surprise and topped 200,000. we have been adding jobs for almost two and a half years now, but in the past week or so there have been some worry signs. reports on manufacturing, jobless claims and private sector employment came in weaker so the estimates for march have been dialed back. as for the unemployment rate, we expect it to hold at 7.7%. it s been improving since hitting a peak in 2009, but it s been a slow improvement. i ll have that report at 8:30 a.m. eastern time. we ll see if the sequester, the timing of easter, the cold weather, all these
