ballistic missile test in the works. we begin tonight with high anxiety over north korea's threat to launch a satellite, a launch pentagon officials believe is to test a ballistic missile capable of launching a nuclear warhead capable of sitting the main land. weather is such that officials believe the launch could come at any time. let's take a closer look at what they are worried about. this is north korea. i want to show you new satellite images from april 9th. a clear image of the launch pad. the rocket is here. you see preparations, rail mounting. that's how they brought the rocket out. the ex university deflector is right here. you see support vehicles way up here on the distant edge. now, let's look at a more recent satellite image released today. a bit grainy. if you notice here, i will try to highlight it, you can see support vehicles much closer to the launch pad. not much activity over here by the fueling tanks. the analysts that have looked at this believe based on this can activity the launch would happen from one to three days from when these images were taken. what are we worried about in this area, the big worry is because of the reliability of the korean missile technology. they have had problems in the past. you see the drop zone. when the missile launches, the first stage is supposed to drop in the waters here. a lot of fierce in south korea and japan that there could be a problem and the missile could fall this way. the second stage supposed to drop harmlessly in waters down here in the fiphilippines an indonesia, on alert in case there are problems with this missile site. this is a taepodong 2/unha 3. the north koreans call it this. if you look at this rocket, three stages, one, two, and three. you can see the sizes of the engineering working on it. 98-feet tall. range of over 4100 miles. that means it could reach alaska, not quite, to hawaii. the fuel, liquid in the first two stages. u.s. officials aren't quite sure the fuel in the third stage. that has been the problem for north cre yarks the technology, you reliable, the pentagon would say, because it is based on 1960s soviet technology. a quick comparison here. make the other stats go away first. give you a bit of a comparison. the koreans had a launch three years ago, first stage work, second stanl work. the third stage was the problem. if you look, the rockets are remarkably similar. the question is, what improvements have they made, if any, in the third stage? that's what officials are worried about. this could come at any moment. we will follow the development. for now, let's turn back to the united states and the trayvon march kin case. prosecutors say the suspect, george zimmerman, profiled the teen before the shooting and before killing hill. the charging affidavit has just been released. it goes on to talk about a 911 call he made on the february 9th. during the reported call, he made reference to people he felt had committed and gotten away with break-ins in his neighborhood. zimmerman stated, these expletives, they always get away and also said these expletive punks. what else can you tell us, david, what new details in this affidavit? >> reporter: this affidavit is clearly taking us into the thinking of the prosecution here. that paragraph you just read shows that they are getting at the intent, the possibility that zimmerman had malicious thoughts as he was going after trayvon martin. also in that affidavit, we were seeing that the prosecution believes that it was zimmerman who initiated the confrontation with trayvon martin. with he know zimmerman has told friends and others that he was on his way back to his vehicle when he was attacked by trayvon martin. there is no indication of that in this affidavit. this is just first step in which the prosecution is giving us an idea of how they intend to take this case to a jury. >> george zimmerman, his first court appearance today. he is behind bars again tonight. what do we know about his first night? jail? >> his first night in jail will be like his second, third, fourth. he is in protective custody, not in general population, we saw that he went to the store there nd awas able to purchase some snacks. he purchased a deck of card and some other things apparently settling in, at least for a few days ahead. we know his attorney will be seeking a bond hearing trying to get bond to get him out of jail at some point. that hearing has not been set. indefinitely, george zimmerman will be in jail until that bond hearing is held. we do know that the next firm date he has in court is in late may. until then, we are waiting to see when that bond hearing will be held. >> live for us on the scene in sanford, florida. david, let's dig deeper on these court documents. two cnn legal analysts. mark, i want to start with you, given your knowledge of the state court system, the prosecutor could have had a manslaughter charge. he decided to go with second-degree murder. as you look at this affidavit, does she have based on this early, early affidavit, did she lay out a strong case? >> no, not for second-degree murder. it is bare bones. she put in -- they put in the bare minimum to barely, in my opinion, eke over the line to take it to second-degree murder. second-degree murder has to show a depraved mind. you don't -- you barely see that. you can see how they cautiously drafted that. they put in the bear minimum to establish what they needed. it doesn't state anything significant that hasn't come out already. it does show the indication of where they are going. i would also point out just for the viewers that the expletives that were deleted and have been censored when it was read were not racial ep titafs. they whether vaulgarities but nt racial. >> if you do read the affidavit, the prosecution is clearly trying to say the 911 operator, first said we don't need you to do that, meaning keep following trayvon. at another point, told him, just wait, the police will be there. the part we are talking about, no racial language was used or he does talk about these expletives, they always get away or these expletive punks. he was so frustrated with past troubles he was determined to do something about it. do you agree with mark it is hebea bear bones and weak submission. >> it says these are not all of the facts but some of the facts. a judge quite readily found probable cause based on this. it lays out the elements for second-degree murder. i think what was so interesting in the affidavit is that it is clear that the prosecutor painted a picture of a pursuer, of a first aggressor. in that affidavit, it is outlined that george zimmerman profiled trayvon martin, followed him, disregarded a police dispatch and then confronted trayvon, a struggle ensued and it also indicates that trayvon martin's mother identified her son's voice as the voice on the 911 call that we've all heard yelling for help. so when you look at all of that, i think part of this affidavit is the prosecution outlining that they don't believe that stand your ground law implies. outlining george zimmerman as the first aggressor and making it clear they do not believe it was a justifiable homicide. >> we have not heard from george zimmerman. let's listen to mark o'mara describing the state of mind of his client. >> he is facing second-degree murder charges now. he is frightened. that would frighten any one of us. but, on the other hand, i'm not concerned as some others may have been before me of his focus. he is glad the process is in place. >> he is glad the process is in place. he also says that by next week, he hopes to get a bond hearing more. what are the odds that george zimmerman will be released? >> i think they should be good. it is very significant. the two key parts that the state would look at or the court would look at are, does he provide a risk of flight? is he in danger of the community? >> well, i believe that terms and conditions can be crafted that he would be in home confinement or otherwise. the danger issue is not likely going to be there. we know he did a voluntary surrender when he didn't have to be in the country. he made lanes to get here as soon as it was announced. i think that is clearly going to be something that mark om'meara argues. the bond is going to be set at a time available on the judge's docket. the first available time, a reasonable time that gives him time to prepare a bond motion is when we he can expect to have that here. is there any significance to this. this is trayvon martin. sabrina fulton on the "today" show this morning said something that shocked a lot of people. let's listen. i believe it was an accident. i believe it just got out of control and he couldn't turn the clock back. i would ask him, did he know that that was a minor, that that was a teenager and that he did not have a weapon? >> you could see the family's attorney was quite stunned when she used the term accident. that their encounter, she says, was an accident. any legal significance to that? >> i just spoke with sabrina. she is a grieving mother, not a lawyer. she certainly isn't at this point. she wasn't a witness to what happened on february 26th. so she is speaking as a grieving mother. she did issue that clarification, that she was sort of piggybacking off of what tracy martin said that had george zimmerman not gotten out of the car, this would never have happened. she feels it was an accidental meeting between the two. i don't think there is any legal significance, other than the fact that i think many people are watching the reactions of this family and that by all accounts, sabrina fulton has comported herself with such grace and dignity. i think that has really come across. also, big political story. cnn contributor, hillary rosen are, apologizes to ann romney after these comments started a war of words over working women. >> his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. she has never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids? how do we send them to school? how do we -- why do we worry about their future? >> those comments last night on cnn's anderson cooper, 360, provoked a firestorm. angry tweets from republicans and this response from ann romney. >> i know what it is like to struggle. if maybe i haven't struggled as much financially as some people have. i can tell you and promise you, that i have had struggles in my life. >> it provoked an immediate decision by team obama to denounce a long-time friend and ally. >> rosen apologized. mitt romney should not be on the campaign trail saying to women, my wife tells me how it is for women out there, because people will sometimes take for granted some of the niceties that they have in life. the romneys are people of wealth. >> president obama himself waited this afternoon with an interview with kcrj, a quote from the president. i don't have a lot of patience for commentary about the spouses of political candidates. we will ask david axlerod about the decision to throw hillary under the bus. to test a rock at the time that may be capable of reaching the united states. a japanese defense site where they are ready to shoot the rocket down s we will talk with our correspondent from japan.

>> reporter: well, let me tell you first about the missile batteries. what you are looking at over my right shoulder, downtown tokyo for a little context. a residential area. just hin t just behind the missiles are apartments. those missiles are armed and pointed at the sky and ready to go in the unlikely event that parts of the north korean rockets fall on japanese territory. how likely that is a concern or whether or not this will take place, that they will have to shoot it down, a lot of military experts say it is unlikely. it is expected to go over southern japan. there are also patriot missile batteries on the southern island of okinawa, also japanese territory. three warships that have been deployed in waters around japan. those are loaded with interceptor missiles. what japan is trying to do is so show a series of moves that show military might. what they want to do is to meet north koreas huffing and puffing with huffing and puffing of their own and say if this country is threatened, they will shoot down parts of that rocket. john? >> we will stay in touch tonight. north korea could launch at any minute despite repeated on jexs. today, the secretary of state, hillary clinton, joined the chorus of threats. >> there is no doubt that this satellite would be launched using ballistic missile technology. if pyongyang goes forward, we will all be back in the security council to take further action. >> why won't north korea listen to the rest of the world? joining me from denver, former am bass dar, skris stauffer hill, who led the six-party talks back in 2005, one of the few american diplomates that knows north korea so well. >> you have a new leader in north korea. kim junk g un, what are we abou to learn about him? >> this strikes me about the fact that they didn't simply have their act together. other times this he have broken agreements. it is usually after some long pause in the negotiating process and negative context. these were moving forward and they broke it any way. i think they really don't have their act together and i think there are some real disagreements within north korea. >> is it they just don't have their act together as keystone cops or they don't have their act together because of a significant power struggle? >> well, you can never rule out the keystone cop aspect of it to be sure. you have a young, as you said, untested lead ter. he is being helped by his aunt and uncle. his uncle has gotten himself into trouble in the past, been in external exile. there is a bit of a power struggle and a military that doesn't like to listen to anybody. >> they have nuclear weapons and they are about to test a rocket if successful, if they figure it out, could reach alaska and then one would assume they would try to improve their technology beyond. what can the world do if they won't listen? >> well, first of all, i'm not too worried about alaska. the real concern is, as you point out, they will start improving that technology. this missile program is part and parcel of the nuclear program. i think we need to redouble our efforts to prevent the technology from getting there and unfortunately, there clearly are some holes in that effort. secondly, i think we do need to go back to the security council as secretary clinton indicated. the problem is, we are kind of running out of sanctions. we have done a lot of things against them. it is clearly not sufficient. i really think we need to get the chinese far more engaged. china, like a number of countries is preoccupied by its internal problems. in this case, i think they really are going to have to step it up a little. this is a real problem. >> former assistant secretary of state, ambassador chris. we will keep in touch. thanks for your help and insights. a bit later, we are joined by team obama's senior political strategist, david axlerod, including the campaign's decision to denounce hillary rosen. the race to find the source of a new and big oil spill in the gulf of mexico. food differently. ♪ i'm michael bazinet, president of creative digital imaging of bangor, maine. we have customers all over the united states. we rely on the postal service for everything that we do. the eastern maine processing facility is vital to our operation and our success. if we lose this processing facility we could lose clientele because of increased mailing times. we would have to consider layoffs as a result of that. closure of this plant will affect all of us. ♪ with less chronic osteoarthritis pain. imagine living your life with less chronic low back pain. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one non-narcotic pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymbalta is not approved for children under 18. people taking maois or thioridazine or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take cymbalta. taking it with nsaids, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk. severe liver problems, some fatal, were reported. signs include abdominal pain and yellowing skin or eyes. tell your doctor about all your medicines, including those for migraine and while on cymbalta, call right away if you have high fever, confusion and stiff muscles or serious allergic skin reactions like blisters, peeling rash, hives, or mouth sores to address possible life-threatening conditions. talk about your alcohol use, liver disease and before you reduce or stop cymbalta. dizziness or fainting may occur upon standing. ask your doctor about cymbalta. imagine you with less pain. cymbalta can help. go to cymbalta.com to learn about a free trial offer. >> welcome back. here is kate bolduan with the latest news you need to know. >> we are here to give you some headlines. let's get you up on where we are this evening. an unusual calm in syria today, especially u.n. envoy says the country is not in line with the cease-fire. he says troops and tanks are still on the ground. activists say 21 people have been killed in the sporadic violence. secretary of state, hillary clinton, says the cease-fire is important but syrian president will still have to go. the u.n. is preparing to send in observers. in other news, a sheen of oil is spreading across ten square miles of the gulf of mexico. that's about six barrels of oil. the oil company, royal dutch shell, discovered the rainbow sheen, saying it is not leaking from their drilling in the area. it has been two years since b.p.'s deepwater horizon exploded in the gulf and killed workers. the number of people filing for unemployment benefits increased last week to 380,000. this is an increase in numbers from the week before. last month's jobs report also failed to meet expectations. why the slow-down in job growth?
