and our focus should be how do we stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon. in the meantime negotiators are going full speed ahead. ultimately what s been remarkable is the international unity we ve been able to maintain. and saying to iran you have to show the world that you are not pursuing a nuclear weapon. now, the president went on to say there s less than a 50% chance that the nuclear talks will produce an agreement. he wants to delay iran s capability to quickly produce a nuclear bomb for ten years, as for netenyahu s host john boehner, his office says the demand for tickets to this morning s speech is like nothing they ve ever seen before. but dozens of democrats will be skipping the speech and vice president joe biden will not there be. in his place, utah s republican senator orrin hatch that will add to the partisan look of the speech later this morning. it s interesting, the demand is greater than ever but there s more supply than usual because of those that aren t going. so sensitive information, what does that mean? what will the prime minister actually say. cnn global affairs correspondent elise labbit is joining us from the white house. information that has never been revealed before to paint this information as rushing into a deal with iran without briefing congress a deal that will not stop iran from being able to develop a nuclear weapon as jim said. netenyahu has not only talked to the u.s. about these negotiations but other parties in the talks. israel has very good intelligence. so the prime minister s aides say they know exactly what s in the deal. enough to conclude it s a bad one. and the hope is that congress will move to pass sanctions if the deal goes through. the prime minister has raised expectations about what he s going to reveal. and after the president and national security adviser susan rice last night sought to preempt him by laying out the broad strokes of the deal u.s. officials i m speaking to say they aren t sure netenyahu has the kind of bombshell that s really going to make a difference. but this morning there are reports iran is now rejecting what the president said. what adviser rice said about iran s claims to refute and that s exactly what the prime minister wants, he wants to put a wrench in these negotiations, however he can. and this whole drama surrounding the speech seems to be doing just that. ailsen? okay elise labott thanks for the background. let s dig deeper on whether prime minister netenyahu will reveal sensitive details during the speech. that s what obama officials are warning. we were incredibly disappointed that some israeli officials were saying prime minister netenyahu would reveal sensitive information. we are concerned by reports that suggest selective details of the ongoing negotiations will be discussed publicly in the coming days. i m not going to get into all the details about ongoing negotiations. nor should sensitive details of such a negotiation be discussed in public. let s bring in senior editor for the atlantic david fromm and peter beinart, contributing editor for atlantic media. thank you so much for being here. peter, why would prime minister netenyahu reveal sensitive information when obama officials are warning him not to? because of course prime minister netenyahu is here to try to derail the iran negotiations. perhaps he thinks he has some information about concessions that the united states has made that would turn the american public or the american congress in his mind he would hope against the deal. david, what do you think he s going to do? and what do you think the tone of the speech will be this morning? can we complete the verb reveal to whom. the iranians know everything that s been proposed to iran. it s been revealed to congress. that congress will know the administration is after the negotiating strategy has a congressional strategy and the strategy is don t tell them don t let them vote. keep congress out of this. so the secret the point of protecting the secret is not to protect american national security interests, because the iranians know all the things that have been proposed to iran. it is to protect the administration s political agenda. that s interesting, david, what do you think about that? obviously congress should know once the detail is finalized, everything that s in the deal. but to suggest that benjamin netenyahu is a good-faith broker of what s inside the deal is absurd. his entire point is to try to destroy the negotiations. are we to take seriously that netenyahu will give a fair appraisal of everything that the iranians have conceded on. some have suggested that the prime minister might try to overblow whatever the evidence is to makt case against iran. the prime minister could brief the members of congress about what it s doing. this is a treaty in everything but name. treaties are suppose to be ratified by the senate and the administration is trying to create a narrative where it s benjamin netenyahu against america. again and again it s the administration that s been at odds with congress not prime minister netenyahu. the only reason we have these negotiations is because in january 2012 congress passed tough sanctions that the president fought tooth and nail to stop. when he was overwhelmed defeated the senate voted 100-0 in favor of the menendez kurtz sanctions, that s when we had progress. the administration that says netenyahu is wrong, they ve been wrong. they said things won t work that produce exactly the positive outcome that the administration discredited. the administration said iran was two years away from nuclear weapons in 1990s. once a deal is completed, then absolutely. congress should know what is in that deal. but it is not for a foreign leader to come here and selectively while the negotiations are taking place, selectively give certain pieces of information in order to try to torpedo the deal before it s concluded. david are you comfortable with whatever netenyahu is going to say today? well i don t know what he s going to say. so obviously if he were to reveal some sensitive details of the deal it sounds as though you re saying he s only revealing them to congress and they should know anyway. if he reveals, if you ve been following the negotiations closely through the new york times or cnn, you already know enough about the deal to be very disturbed. for example, you know that the administration because these are their own leaks, is proposing leaving iran with 6500 centrifuges, more than pakistan had when it broke out of the nuclear arrangements in 1998 i think the year was. so he may tell congress things that have been publicly presented, but have never been drawn together into one picture. if i m guessing that what he s going to do i would suspect that s it. it s not what the revelation is going to be hearing it all in one place from an authority tative source rather than in bits from highly off hp beat or boutique publications. we know that john kerry said those leaks were not reliable. i hope the standard from benjamin netenyahu would be what is your alternative. do you think military action is better? since most of his own security officials have said it would be a disaster. do you think more sanctions would be better? what s the alternative here? some parallels are being drawn between this speech and the one that colin powell gave in the days leading up to the iraq war, where he offered up what turned out to be erroneous evidence. ha do you think the tone of today s speech will be and do you think it will be a warning warningalawarning ala the colin powell speech. the tone will be magnanimous and inclusive. prime minister netenyahu has made a point of speaking to the whole country, the whole congress and of giving president obama due credit. when he last spoke to congress he began by congratulating president obama for the killing of osama bin laden. i suspect he will not be provocative. on peter s lists of concern of credibility. let s remember in 2011 during the last round of battles over whether we should have more sanctions, the administration said then more sanctions would be a catastrophe. the sanctions were passed in 2012 and the results have been that iran came to the negotiating table. it s the proponents of sanctions that have been proven right and the opponents of each round of of sanctions that have been wrong. what about netenyahu allies who said iran would not abide by the interim agreement and the sanctions agreement would collapse that hasn t happened. if you look at the record of netenyahu on iran, it s been flawed again and again. we asked david, last thought? i noticed two days ago, peter, that the international atomic energy agency said they still have not received the information they need to have to confirm that iran is complying with its obligations, so there s a lot of iranian secrecy. iran has never been revealed willingly. it s been obtained by surreptitious means. we have to see what happens this morning. very interesting, peter beinart, david frum. thank you very much. cnn will have special live coverage of the prime minister s speech anchored by wolf blitzer beginning at 10:00 a.m. you heard the debate. all indications are that israel s prime minister is going to blast any idea of a nuclear deal with iran today. at the same time u.s. secretary of state john kerry will be full speed ahead trying to make deal with iran. meeting with iran leaders in switzerland for a new round of talks. jim sciutto is there in switzerland with more. jim, good morning. good morning, chris, i just saw secretary kerry a few minutes before that the foreign minister taking a break on this beautiful day after a busy morning of meetings. and both said that they re still working hard at the deal. that the gaps are still there. but they re narrowing the gaps. working towards an agreement. another indication that these talks here the center of the controversy with the israeli prime minister are continuing independently and aggressively you might even say accelerating they had two long meetings last night. they ll be meeting face to face all day today. continuing into tomorrow. so for all of those politics back home, here they re trying to make a deal. the one way, the one place where the speech sin jekting itself into these talks, are real concerns from the u.s. side secretary kerry expressed them yesterday, about what details prime minister netenyahu is going to reveal and already push-back saying any details independent of the broader agreement are by definition misleading. because you have to see them all together all the concessions, to know exactly what the agreement is. but i will tell you, they will nervous about how far he s going to go and state department officials made clear if he does reveal some of the private information that could change the intelligence sharing relationship going forward, it s pretty remarkable thing to say between these two allies. chris? we ll check back with you as well. those talks just getting started. but let s see where they head. former secretary of state hillary clinton may have violated federal record-keeping rules by using her personal email account for government business. during her entire tenure as the nation s top diplomat. the new york times reports her aides took no action to preserve those emails on state department servers, they ve turned over 55,000 pages of emails to keep up with federal practices and aides tell the new york times that clinton has been complying with the letter and spirit of the rules. according to a just-released record by the federal government it finds the faa has taken steps to decrease vulnerabilities but has not addressed flaws in computer systems for years, auditors say it puts systems that track flights around the world in jeopardy. you remember this mysterious tunnel that was discovered in toronto? canadian authorities were scratching their heads, well no more. two words man cave. an underground bunker was discovered in toronto, dangerously close to a stadium that will host the pan am games it frightened authorities, they launched an investigation. but toronto police say the chamber was dug by two men for personal reasons, to hang out in. they re both in their 20s, and they won t be charged. what you guys don t understand is real estate is really expensive in toronto. it s costly. are men that desperate, chris, for alone time? i feel that man cave is it s literal. it s symbolic. they must have been married for a long time. they were in their 20s. well cold winters up there. speaking of winter nice segue there, a messy winter storm tracking across much of the country tonight through wednesday. who is expected to get the hit hardest? and is more snow on the way after this storm? meteorologist chad myers, you know i m thinking of making parts of my ensemble a over-the-shoulder strap with a shovel and snow boots and just wearing it until may. people are selling their houses so they can buy one close to their work so they don t have to travel very far this is getting insane. it s snowing in chicago right now, over 10% of the flights out of chicago are already canceled this morning. that s 100 in and out both ways and the snow is coming to new york tonight and more snow to boston. i think there s no way boston doesn t break their all-time record. they only need about three more inches it changes over to rain and back over to snow again. it can t make up its mind. and atlanta goes to 74 back into the 40s, chicago, there s your snow it changes over to isolator today as the warm air pulls in behind the storm because there s a warm front here. there s your snow there s your ice and then eventually all rain. new york city you get a snowy evening commute, but then it rains again overnight. as the warm air comes in. but that s a warm front and this is a cold front. and behind it more snow comes in for the next couple days and by thursday morning, a lot of snow coming in. philadelphia you could get six to ten inches of snow with this. boston you re on the southern edge. we ll have to see what happens there. but new york you re going to get snow as well. the winter that won t end. i m going to find that furry little phil and tell him what i think. here s the thing either we fight it or we accept it. i m clearly in the fighting it stage and i refuse to accept it. i had surrendered to it until march. yeah. and now i m fighting it. it s now march. never surrender. never surrender. we ve got so much fight left. fight the snow eventually you will win and that will a glorious day. in june. we are going to look at the controversy involving hillary clinton s emails did she violate federal law as secretary of state and how could this impact her plans for 2016?

let s discuss, richard sakaredes, former senior adviser to president bill clinton, a democratic strategist and mr. ben ferguson cnn commentator and host of the ben ferguson show. all right, sakaredes, convince me this is okay because it smells terrible. i think we have to remember what the story is about is whether or not she used the right email account, right? i think we don t know exactly what happened. but well first of all, the real thing this raises for me, is how hard it is to be able to talk about real issues if she runs for president. new york times has this as breaking news, the press has lost all sense of proportion. email account, i got an email message, an alert on my phone last night that breaking news hillary clinton used the wrong email account. i mean come on the press has gone mad around hillary clinton. and this is why i think there s some people who are urging her not to run for president because she s never going to be able to talk about any real issues. it s going to be hard to break through. on the email thing, we don t know what happened. but i can certainly understand the situation where someone told her ben hold on a second. someone told her not to use official email to conduct diplomatic business that she was doing exactly what colin powell did while he was secretary of state and that after the fact i don t know that he did it to this extent. but after the fact i want to say one last thing, after the fact she, she turned over all of these emails to the archives so that we do have all the records, so at the end of the day, i think this is a story that s about nothing, really. two things ben, my head is dizzy because sokarides is putting the spin game on me. second of all, we don t know that powell did it to this extent and the 55,000 are at their discretion at the clinton team s discretion? she didn t turn over every email. they didn t claim that they said they got a bunch of emails and she turned them over. everyone knows when you get a new job you get what the first thing a come and set up is your email account so let s not act like this was some sort of accident. this was done on purpose. a decision made by hillary clinton to choose to not have a state department email address, because there s obviously emails she didn t want us to see. and if she did play by the rules which by the way the government rules say you re supposed to have an email address at the government special entry a high-ranking position not only for national archives, but also for national security purposes because of hacking. i guarantee you hillary clinton s private email address did not have the protections that a state department government official s email would have. this could easily be considered a national security issue as well. why did she choose to do this? it s because she wanted to have total control over what the public could and could not see. that is so that you can hide things. and if this was happening with republican the media would be freaking out the same way that he s claiming that the media is freaking out. make sure you tell your listeners before they state the hate parade on my social media accounts, we covering it here and it s at the top of the morning. absolutely. let s take a read on what hillary s own team says this is their response to the situation. we ll put it up. hillary clinton complied with the letter and spirit of the rules. had every expectation emails to other officials would be retained. first of all, richard this means that the white house had to know right? because every time they tried to contact hillary clinton it would be on personal email. their points is that what was the email? i suspect that she wasn t setting she definitely was not sending me a lot of emails during this period. ever get any emails? i have gotten emails from bill clinton, but i have never gotten an email from hillary clinton. i don t think she sends emails. 55,000. you know how many you send in a day, it would be surprise me how many emails you send in a day. what do you think it would say, it s hillary clinton@shemail.com. in all seriousness, i do think there s an explanation for this this story is about ten hours or 12 hours old and we will know it. but i think we have to retain a sense of proportion about this. i mean all of these records, all of these, all of the official records, think when it was clear that she was, was sending messages that may have beneficial or quasi-official that they were turned over for record-keeping. it doesn t smell good. the emails that she wants to turn over. let s not be this naive to imply that this is everything. it s not everything. it fuels ben s ability, ben has high ground here in saying why would you do this if you don t want to control it. i wouldn t say he has high ground. i want to say this go ahead, ben. when george bush was president, he did not send emails. do you remember the controversy over barack obama, whether he would or would not have a blackberry account or email account. this is something that you don t just accidentally not set up. you are in charge of the state department. this is a purposeful decision to make sure that you are in ultimate control of what the government and/or what other people may find out about your legacy. she ran for president before. she s not an idiot. she knew this was going to come up. and she said it s worth the risk to hide the information. if it were such a big deal though this is my head on other side of it people had to know this. people within the state department had to know people in the white house had to know maybe people in congress had to know. so people must have thought this was okay on some level. you would think that this information would have gotten to someone like you a long time ago, don t you think? this is risk assessment they decided i m sure hillary clinton ultimately and her campaign people ultimately decided when she was going do that job, i would rather go on tv and defend oops we re sorry for using personal email. because it would be less damaging on your chances of running for the white house. settle the point they made in the times story is any email sent directed to a government official was there would be a record of it nonetheless. if i m emailing someone. how do you know they didn t have a private email account, too. there s a record kept of it. i mean we will hear certainly a lot more about this today, but i think we have to remember proportionality what the campaign has got to be about if she decides to run is how we can help get america moving again and this this kind of discussion will not help us. we ll be listening to what you say and others say, we ll have you back to talk about it if you want ben ferguson richard socarides, jeb bush came out and said transparency matters and look a at my emails whenever you want at jebbush.com. can i see your emails? yes, it s called notthebigman@gmail.com. russian opposition leader laid to rest in moscow the search for his assassin and what a key witness is saying. this is just incredible a sky-diving student has a seizure at 9,000 feet in the air. his instructor saves his life the whole remarkable rescue was caught on video, both men join us on new day straight ahead. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. when you ache and haven t slept. you re not you. tylenol® pm relieves pain and helps you fall fast asleep and stay asleep. we give you a better night. you re a better you all day. tylenol®.

he had been reporting on corruption particularly among the oligarchs, among the wealthy russians and looking into excesses in check nia, where under putins the russians fought a brutal war to suppress an uprising. he was one of the early journalists to fall. and there have been many many since then. but the fact that he was an american citizen, shows that his killer s didn t really care and to date nobody har fingers been fingered for being responsible. some chechens have been blamed but no one knows, 11 years later. let s fast-forward to 2006 we ll speaking of anna politkoskaya she was shot and killed in the street ironically enough on putin s birthday. one of russia s finest journalist she worked for a newspaper that six journalists in that paper have been killed. she had been a fierce critic of putin. she, too had looked into the excesses in chechnya horrible human rights abuses gunned down in the streets. five chechens were blamed, but no one got to the bottom of it. no one knows who, even the russian administration know one know who is ordered the hit on her. it s not necessarily that the putin administration was directly involved but they were blamed for not fully investigating what actually happened in these cases. and the fact that these were critics of putin is suggestive not definitive. but certainly suggestive. let s move on to alexander litviniko. former agent for russia s fbi. he was poisoned and died a month late ir. accused putin on his deathbed. he said putin ordered the hit on politkoskaya. he said that putin was ordering the assassination of his political rivals he was arrested twice, jailed once fled to the uk. somebody put radioactive ploen iveive polonium in his tea and it took him a month to die. we re going to focus on sergei magnitsky, explain his tie to the u.s. he was working for an auditing firm which had connections with the u.s. he was looking at some very specific corruption cases involving possibly the state, but also big russian companies, conditions whose owners were close to putin. was thrown in jail for 11 months treated brutally beaten he had severe medical conditions that were ignored. he developed pancreatitis, gall stones very painful. died after being severely beaten just eight days before he had to be released. under russian law, if you re not charged after a year you have to be released. he was jailed for 351 days. boris nemtsov, the former deputy prime minister of russia he had accused of government of embezzling during the olympics. what more do we know about him? he had said recently apparently, bobby, that he feared that putin might want him dead. a lot of critics of the government given the recent history know that they have a target on their back. and i m not surprised nemtsov felt the same way as well. he was the closest thing to a serious political rival. he had been a deputy prime minister in the yeltsin years. and then very early on began to accuse putin of these excesses, particularly in sochi, the winter olympics where the russian state spent billions of dollars, often on companies close to putin. it s interesting that putin said he sent a letter reached out to the family and also said that his death was nortd to make him look bad, in order to make putin look bad. do you think there s any chance of any justice being found for nemtsov? unfortunately given the history of all of these other people that we ve talked of this is only a small sampling i would not hold my breath. i don t think nemtsov s family is holding their breath. but the fact that people are coming out into the open thousands of russians in the open protesting and mourning for nemtsov, gives just a glimmer of hope perhaps. just perhaps there s some possibility of change. even his girlfriend is concerned it will be pinned on her, bobby ghosh, always a pleasure to walk through this kind of information with you. what s scarier than jumping out of a plane?

i realized chris had had a seizure probably five minutes after we touched the ground and i met up with him inside the hangar. i saw him exit the aircraft. he did a bit of a tumble and he corrected himself quickly and we checked his altimeter, and with the task at hand to complete his stage five freefall jump. he started his first turn after i signaled to him and did a quarter of the way through the turn when his shoulders came forward and he went into the fetal position and rolled on to his back an spinning. i wasn t sure whey was up to at though point and i wasn t looking into it too much other than what are you doing. i thought he might have been suffering a little sensory overload. so i had no idea what he was up to. i was observing for a while. i could see he wasn t watching his altimeter and he wasn t doing anything to rectify the situation or get himself stable so i thought i better go down and grab him, stop him from turning and by the time i got to him i thought it was appropriate to get under a parachute. sheldon, i want to stick with you for one second, this is the scariest part of the whole video he appears to be free falling away from you and like he s below you by hundreds of feet how did you catch up to him? we use a technique that we use commonly in sky diving for closing distances, straightening my legs out behind me. pointing my head down towards him and sweeping my arms back. i dived down to him, matched his fall rate and went in and grabbed him. there s a technique you learn when you re sky diving you ve done 20 40 jumps, you learn to do that. it s not really a big deal. not a big deal? i can barely see him in the video, so had you no doubt that you would be able to get to him and deploy his chute, you felt it was a given, it was just about getting there? the dangle on the lens is pretty wide angle. so the distance between us wasn t as great as it seems. chris wasn t falling that fast. he was on his back. so it wasn t that bad. it wasn t that hard to get down to him. wow, christopher, when you watch this video, after the fact what do you think about your ordeal? well first of all i was a bit shocked at the footage. i knew something had gone wrong, but i didn t know what. and once i realized it was a seizure, i was a bit overwhelmed. but yeah we reviewed the footage and yeah it was yeah now this has happened. now this has happened. why did you decide to put it online? i just decided to put it online after i was on hold i went on holiday shortly after this actually happened and i decided to put it online after i got back. so no so my friends could really say i didn t think it would get this big this fast. it was just basically happened overnight. it s basically incredible story. christopher, a lot of viewers have asked, you know you have epilepsy epilepsy. why are you even allowed to go sky-diving? well i was controlled on medication. i haven t had a seizure for over four years. and my doctor had actually my specialist had signed me off on the jump and everything. and yeah it was all fine. i guess you can t really hold back in these situations like any medical condition. i could have had the seizure. while driving home or in an airplane on the way up. it s just unfortunate that it happened while i was in freefall. the good news is that everything turned out fine this time. the bad news is this will probably affect you going forward, right? do you think you ll ever be able to jump out of a plane again by yourself? unfortunately i think my solo career is over. as of now, but of course tandem options are always still there. i know who you should pick pick this guy, sheldon. if you have to do tandem. because he doesn t think it s any big deal to rocket through the air like superman and grab you and deploy his chute like it s no big thing. that s the guy to have on your back. guys thanks so much for joining us. thank you very much guys. just for the record if i ever have to come rocketing through the sky and deploy your chute? it was a big deal i want you to know that. you would have to. because i would suffer sensory overload. we should also mention they do an automatic chute that deploys at 2,000 feet from the ground. can deploy. it s much better if your instructor manually deploy it is. it can get tangled. he zipped down there because he had to not because it was an option. right. that s one story for you this morning, there s a lot of news we re following, so let s get to it. the white house is warning benjamin netenyahu, does not betray our trust. today, we have a voice. bad deal is worse than no deal. israel is very concerned about iran. we are, too. i ve never seen something like that turn so horrible so quickly. these police officers were responding to protect. i watched a man take his last breath right there. had the individual not grabbed the officer s pistol we would not be having this discussion. all of these people whom putin had hated, they somehow all perished. someone in the russian government knows something about this. everybody is afraid in the current russia. this is new day with, chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and michaela pereira. welcome back to new day, tension is building four hours before benjamin netenyahu s big speech before congress. the white house concerned the israeli prime minister could reveal sensitive details about america s nuclear talks with iran. president obama calling netenyahu s credibility into question insisting the prime minister has been wrong about iran before. and is wrong now. he calls his disagreement with netenyahu only a distraction. but he will not be watching the speech. cnn has the story covered like no other network can. let s start with senior white house correspondent jim acosta. what s the latest word? well chris, the speech will not be must-see tv for the president, he won t be watching and he is all but acknowledging that there s been damage done to the u.s./israeli relationship. but that the damage will not be lasting. the bhous is bracing for the impact of israeli prime minister netenyahu s speech to congress this morning. one concern is that the prime minister will divulge sensitive details from the u.s. talks with iran over its nuclear program. white house press secretary josh earnest warned yesterday that that would be a betrayal of u.s. trust. netenyahu insists the talks will pave the way for iran to have a nuclear weapon soon. in an interview with reuters, said netenyahu has been wrong before and he s off the mark this time. the president maintains he does not take this rift with netenyahu personally. he also adds that maybe the prime minister doesn t have a whole lot to worry about. because perhaps these negotiations won t actually produce anything. here s what he had to say. you know i would say that it is probably still more likely than not that iran doesn t get to yes. but i think that to in fairness to them they have been serious negotiators. and they ve got their own politics inside of iran. it is more likely that we could get a deal now, than perhaps three or five months ago. but there s still some big gaps that have to be filled. and speaking of big gaps the president wants to delay iran s capability to quickly produce a nuclear bomb for ten years. it is not clear and there s some indications this morning that iran will balk at that proposal. now as for netenyahu, his host house speaker john boehner, his office says the demand for tickets to this morning s speech is like nothing they ve ever seen before. but dozens of democrats as you know will be skipping the speech. vice president joe biden will also not be there. he s going to be in latin america today. in biden s place will be the utah republican senator, orrin hatch, the senator pro tem, that s another indication of how republican and partisan the speech will appear to the american people later on today. there will be no democrats sitting behind prime minister netenyahu when he speaks. interesting. okay jim, thanks so much for all of that. so what will the prime minister say when he stands before congress this morning? cnn global affairs correspondent elise labott has that preview from washington. well the p.m. s aides are promptsing information that has never been revealed before. the prime minister is hoping to paint the administration as rushing into a bad deal with iran without briefing congress israelis say between talking to the u.s. but other parties at the negotiations their own intelligence they know exactly what is in this deal. enough to conclude it s a bad one for israel. and for the world. and the prime minister is hoping when he reveals today will scare congress enough to stop this deal from going through or move to pass sanctions if it does. but you know now that the president and national security adviser susan rice laid out the broad strokes of the deal last night, kind of to preempt of prime minister s remarks netenyahu has raised expectations is there a bombshell he has up his sleeve? u.s. officials i spoke to think he s going to give a general characterization of the deal. but in a sense, netenyahu doesn t need it any more. there are reports this morning that iran is rejecting what the president said about a deal that will freeze its nuclear program for ten years, calling it unacceptable. so if the prime minister s goal is to torpedo these negotiations going on in geneva. in the final days leading up to the deadline all of the drama and the brinksmanship surrounding the speech may do just that. you re saying the talks are kind of stalled anyway at this point. but it s really about what is the context for those discussions, what congress may or may not know. it may come down to what the sensitive information is. here s what s for sure. this speech has divided our congress and our political parties. but also somewhat the community of jewish people here in the states and in israel. so let s get both sides of what is certainly a debate we have jeremy benemi president of jay street a group that opposes the prime minister s speech and we have rabbi bruli, strongly supportive of the prime minister and these efforts. let s start with this benjamin netenyahu says rabbi, my speech is not intended to show any disrespect for president obama on his office. i have great respect for both. doing this is by definition disrespectful to the president. why hide that fact? well no one wants to disrespect the president and no one wants to breach protocol. you have a tiny country that s facing threats by the government which is the largest state-sponsor of terror in the world, what s he supposed to do remain silent? this is an historic day in czechoslovakia in 1938 they weren t even consulted about a deal between france and germany that undermined their security. this is an historic day, america allow as foreign head of government to speak out and say this is a bad government. a bad deal. but it s not america, rabbi and that s the point to you, jeremy america, what is that word imply, it must imply a unified position. and it isn t. and we assume the prime minister knew that there were stories that maybe the prime minister was told you know both sides of congress wanted this. and he was a little hoodwinked. assuming he now know what is he s getting into he s still going forward. is this a dangerous move? the question is whether or not for those of us who care deeply about israel s security does undermining the bipartisan basis of support for israel in this country, damage israel s security in the long run? and the risk is that this issue is becoming a partisan football just like every other issue on the american political scene. if you have a speech that is supported by the speaker of the house, in an effort to embarrass the sitting president of the united states not telling him, going behind his back instead of coordinating it with the white house, and it s done also to advance the prime minister s own political agenda in the state of israel, which, where he has an election in two weeks, you have to question whether or not this was done to advance israel s security or to advance two political agendas, that s not good for israel in the long run. the prime minister says the last thing i would want is for israel to become a partisan issue, do you believe that jeremy? it s become a partisan issue and the speech will be looked back at a generation from now as the possibly the moment when it shifted the conversation from broad bipartisan support to making it just like every other issue. i think that s a terrible legacy and an unfortunate thing for the state of israel. rabbi, the way you re setting this out was somewhat undercut by the idea of sensitive information being shared. that is scary, it seems dethreatening and destabilizing to the white house, why go there? first of all, i think that more information should be revealed about the deal. the deal affects the security of the united states of america. the american people are being kept slightly in the dark about this deal. we are the great satan. it was american hostages not israeli hostages held for 444 days by the mullahs it s death to america which they chant. why shouldn t the american people know this? we don t need one prime minister to reveal this. it s not whether they know it s when they know isn t it? you don t want to give people sensitive information while the talks are going on otherwise you may lose your momentum you understand that. we need to know whether this deal is going to leave iran with a break-up period of 12 months which something reported some are saying less than that. some are saying more. we need to how how many centrifuges are going to be spinning. more than that we need to know why it is that an oil superpower like iran needs nuclear energy at all. this is an energy exporter. they have enough oil to last them decades. why do they even want this energy? and finally we need to know why is the government of the united states, which is profoundly antigencide and a believe of democracy, negotiating with a government which still continues to threaten israel with annihilation annihilation a precursor should have been that rouhani had to utterly repudiate the comments of from his boss to threaten israel with annihilation. asking him to not be party with negotiations. how is it productive for to you call susan rice someone who is blind to genocide? i know yesterday you said she s the one who should apologize. i know you re taking heat for this you re a thoughtful guy, you and i have known each other for a long time that was something that was at least unproductive do you agree with that? well let s be fair. we use the expression bystander to genocide that came from her successor. who called her that. just a moment. it s israel being threatened with annihilation it s rail being threatened with genocide. it s israel who has faced one genocide. when susan rice said the prime minister can t speak because it will destroy the fabric of the negotiation, that s almost censorship. when the best ally that israel has is accused of being blind to genocide how does that help things? it doesn t in the slightest. if there s one thing that s unifying the jewish community and i thank the rabbi for that we are united wall to wall in condemnation of this kind of attack. the folks who have called on schmuli to apologize have ranged from the far right to the far left of the jewish community. this is outside the bounds of american politics it should be a disqualifier to be on national tv to speak on behalf of the jewish community, we re disgusted by this approach and i do urge the rabbi to take a good hard look inside himself and ask whether or not his approach to this has been in keeping with the values of the jewish people he s supposed to represent and teach. the metaphor rabbi, is that the threat is very real. you lay it out, so does jeremy so do all of us the existential threat to israel. the tactics, whether it s netenyahu or what you said about susan rice wind up almost frustrating the efforts of moving forward together. can i be clear? yesterday at a forum with eli weizel who won the nobel prize. that doesn t mean that jeremy ben-a ben-ami who has been attacking the prime minister of israel . someone who seems to be supporting the, a deal that could undermine the very security of israel and telling the prime minister he can t speak. jeremy what is your issue with a simple speech by the prime minister? why are you taking out ad after ad in the new york times, undermining the democratically elected leader of israel? why are you impugning his motives? why are you saying he s doing this only for political purposes? are you a prophet? do you know? on the 28th of march, that s the deadline for the deal. what s he supposed to do? when is he supposed to give the speech? this is a filibustering and unhelpful rhetoric that comes when you try to have a serious discussion. the question is whether or not this approach of negotiating is the best way to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. i don t think any of us have a different goal in mind. the president of the united states the national security adviser, the prime minister of israel our number one goal across both sides is to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. and the question is whether or not this speech at this time is a mistake. on behalf of the government of israel and trying to make its case and the very people that the prime minister needs to reach, the swing democrats in the center of the party, who are going to ultimately have to decide whether or not they support this deal or not, are the very people that he s alien alienated by doing the speech in this way. jeremy do you want netenyahu out? i don t take a position on exactly what happens in israeli politics that s for the israeli voters to decide. i live here. what i say is that from the american point of view the american congress has the right to debate this deal. the american congress will see the deal once it s made. the types of questions that rabbi is raising are not known yet because the negotiations haven t been finalized. we re in the final stages right now. it s not as if there s a secret deal that hasn t been revealed yet. once it s done once there s a deal. there will be a time to review. even the president says talks seem less than 50/50. we know what the stakes are heading into the speech. let s hear what the prime minister has to say. especially in the united states that s the way we analyze these things. let s hear what he has to say and we ll bring you gentlemen back and feel if we re on even ground as a result. thank you for being on new day. we re going to have special coverage tonight of the prime minister s speech anchored by wolf blitzer, it will begin at 10:00 eastern. we ll lead you up to the speech and tell you what to expect and you ll get full coverage here. while the prime minister is blasting a potential nuclear deal with iran. secretary of state john kerry and his iranian counterpart are picking up the pace of their talks in switzerland. how is all of this playing inside iran? let s bring in cnn s fred pleitgen pleitgen live in tehran. fred? it s interesting, alisyn you know many in iran are actually saying they want to know exactly what benjamin netenyahu has to say. everybody seems to have an opinion on the speech. many in tehran told me they believe netenyahu is trying to derail the negotiations. if you look at the mood in iran it seems as though there are a lot of people that are cautiously optimistic that perhaps some sort of agreement could be reached. but there are a lot of other people who say there are a lot of things that could go wrong. interestingly enough if you poll iranians which has been done recently a majority of them would say they believe that their country has the right to have nuclear technology. their country has the right to develop nuclear technology. the iranian government says that it s only for peaceful purposes. however the international atomic energy agency says that so far, iran has not answered all the questions that it needs to answer to determine whether its nuclear program is really solely for peaceful purposes. so there are lots of questions still out there. nevertheless people here say they want the deal to come through. ailsen? fred thank you so much for that background. meanwhile, venezuelan government says the u.s. has two weeks to dramatically cut its embassy staff in caracas. they want americans to downsize from 100 to 17 it comes after venezuela s president claims america has been meddling in venezuelan affairs and he compile rad list of conservative u.s. politicians who are banned from the country. a north carolina district attorney says he plans to seek the death penalty against the man accused of killing three muslim students. the victims families suggest it s a hate crime. but police blame the shootings on long-running parking dispute. court documents say craig hicks kept notes. second-guessing the third cup of coffee? it could be good for your heart. yup, study alert. a new study out of south korea says people who drink between three and five cups of coffee a day are less likely to have calcium in their arteries. compared to those who drink no coffee at all. but if you go above five cups then there s calcium again. if you have five cups then you re scraping me off the ceiling, that s kind of an issue. you need the calcium, you need the strong bones when you fall off the ceiling. it s about your lifestyle. well the lapd says the it appears the videotaped fatal shooting of this homeless man they say was justified. after the suspect went for an officer s gun. still, witnesses say it was excessive force by the police. we will debate this. and hillary clinton used her personal email account for official business. the entire time she was secretary of state. do you care? should you care? is there a rule? did she break it? john king breaks it down for you on inside politics. let s take a look at your credit. i know i have a 786 fico score, thanks to all the tools and help on experian.com. so how are we going to sweeten this deal?

we want to bring in charles ramsey commissioner of the philadelphia police department and the co-chair of president obama s task force on 21st century policing. cedric alexander is with us president of the national organization of black law enforcement executives a member of the president s task force. gentlemen, we want to talk about the important work that is coming out and the report that came out of the task force research and study in a moment. i think we have to begin with the situation, very troubling in los angeles. we know cedric that a big component in this case is mental health the chief of police in l.a. talking about his officers getting some extensive training on dealing with this population. i m just curious, your thoughts on if overall you believe police officers are generally equipped with how to deal with mentally ill people? well it s become clear that lapd had trained some of its officers in working with people with mental health conditions. i think one thing we don t want to jump ahead of is the fact that in this particular case involving a person who reportedly had a mental health illness, is that we truly have to wait until all the facts are in before we can really post any judgment as a term to what occurred. and i think that s fair to the community there in l.a. it s fair to the gentleman that died and his family and also to the police officers as well too. i think that s very important. but if it does do anything commissioner ramsey. it does bring about a conversation about policing. when mental health components are involved. what kind of procedures are officers to follow when they encounter a situation like that. it raises a larger issue in our country of how we treat the mentally ill, period. and what kind of treatment that they get. we have officers that have gone through crisis intervention team training in order to recognize people who may be going through mental health crises ways to deescalate the situation and they encounter people who can be very violent. suffering mental illness. it s not easy. as a country we need to look at mental health treatment on a much larger context and provide support for people who are suffering from that illness. i couldn t agree with you more commissioner cedric and i fully understand that this is a scenario that changes entirely if someone, if the suspect is said to reach for the gun. we know the l.a. times says the video from the body cam, they re reporting is that it is heard from one of the officers saying he s got my gun. that changes the whole affair. well certainly it does. because regardless go ahead, cedric. regardless of the amount of training that you may have received i think it s important to, that under of those particular circumstances, that are being reported we still have more to learn, that certainly think we all are reminded. fact that the officers have to protect themselves and protect those in and around them that are innocent bystanders as well too. let s pivot to the task force and the work that s been done and the research and what you found, the task force on 21st century policing. both of you are part of that commissioner ramsey. speaking of body cameras, this technology is being widely explored by american police stations and companies and chiefs across the nation. but the report stopped short of fully endorsing that. why is that? what are the concerns? you do devote an entire page in the narrative to discuss the issue of body cameras. we made a decision that we would look at the broader issue of technology. today we re talking about body cameras, technology advances so quickly. a year from now we ll be talking about something entirely different. we need to set the guidelines in terms of how we apply technology make sure we ll have these discussions up front. that we re not infringing on the privacy rights of individuals, everybody wants body cameras today. but tomorrow when a manufacturer decides to put facial recognition software on that camera are we still going to feel the same way? we need to think about what we re doing, how we re applying technology. not just body cameras, but any kind of technology that we may find useful in policing. we ve only got about 30 seconds, cedric i m curious what your thoughts are bigger conversation not fair to have it in 30 seconds, but one of the things the task force was to look at is the state of policing in 2015 and going forward. have we made any progress since ferguson in your estimation? i think we re in the progress of making some real progress as you just heard commissioner ramsey speak about. when we talk about technology we talk about body cameras, one other issue we had to take under consideration, we had a lot of discussion around that as well too, are some of the legal issues that are associated that vary from one state to another as it relates to body cameras. i think what we have here is a document that is going to move us forward in terms of 21st century policing. i would like to publicly think lori robinson and commissioner ramsey who led the leadership. it was a great pleasure working with them their experience and brilliance in and around these issues really helped this task force and help us to move a document forward. that i truly think is going to be critically important going forward. a very important first step. think we can agree on that commissioner ramsey we appreciate it. cedric alexander, a pleasure to have you. keep up the good work and we ll speak to you again i m very sure. thank you. jeb bush is in vegas, baby vegas. and he s trying to get in the swing of being on the campaign trail, talking with voters raising some serious money and not just on the craps tables. john king will take us on the road with jeb bush coming up on inside politics. feel a cold sore coming on? only abreva can heal it in as few as two and a half days when used at the first sign. it penetrates deep and starts to work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells.. don t tough it out knock it out, fast. abreva. normally people wear pants. yeah that s why i m hiding captain obvious. not very well. i found you immediately. you know what else is easy to find?

works. works! works? works. works. rael prime minister benjamin netenyahu s controversial speech to congress begins less than four hours from now. the white house warning him not to divulge sensitive information from the ongoing nuclear talks with iran. about 50 lawmakers say they plan to boycott the prime minister s speech. all right so we have the israeli prime minister in washington saying don t make a deal with iran. and we have the secretary of state, john kerry, in switzerland, trying to do just that. meeting with iran s foreign minister. we re told that nuclear talks are accelerating but kerry has cautioned israel not to undercut those negotiations while they re in this very early stage. the latest now from cleveland, the latest in the police shooting of 12-year-old tamir rice later this morning tamir s mother will speak out about the city s response to the wrongful death lawsuit. blaming tamir for his own death. cleveland s mayor has apologized for what he says was insensitive language. an attorney for the rice family says that wasn t enough. you ll recall last another a rookie officer shot tamir within two seconds of arriving at a recreation center where he was playing with a toy gun. an 11-year-old s wish comes true. jordan leopold missed her dad, pro hockey player jordan leopold, so she wrote a letter begging the coaches from the columbus blue jackets to trade him saying she was quote lost without my dad. well she got her wish. her dad was traded to the minnesota wild and that s perfect, since his family lives in minnesota. the letter was never actually sent to the nhl, but her mom posted it on social media. can i just say, are you not glad that we did not live as children in the age of social media? i had some really sketchy letters to santa that could have just you know what i mean? i m just saying i feel we dodged that. kids we re sorry. it s frightening to have kids who are in the age of social media. all right, time for inside politics, on new day with john king the hillary emails come on john what you got in. just like the michaela sketchy letters, they should be preserved and then released. let s go inside politics this morning because we have an important thing to talk about with me julie pace of the associated press, ron fournier of national journal. to quote the great political philosopher, ricky ricardo, hillary clinton has some splaining to do. she never had a government cut, she exclusively communicated using a personal email account. and now the question is have all of these records been preserved and protected? let me get the official statements on the record jen psaki from the state department said last year the department sent a letter to former secretaries of state that they submit any records in their possession for proper preservation. in response secretary clinton provided the department with documents spang her time at the state department. this is a problem across the government. it s a problem dating to the prior administration people started using personal accounts some say just because the government computers were so slow. some say you could put a bigger attachment on gmail. whatever. you re a government official this administration came to power saying we ll be different, we ll be better we ll be the most transparent in history. this is what a clinton spokesman says like secretaries of state before her, again saying other people did it too. she used her own email account when engaging with any department officials. for government business she emailed them on department accounts with every expectation they would be retained. i m going to stop there. no she s the secretary, she s the ceo, the burden is on her. is it not, not on the people who get the emails? there is no explanation here. that is all spin. there s explicit rules for this. there wasn t for past secretaries of state. even if the rules were the same you re supposed to be better. i had democrats calling me up not emailing me calling me up saying one, does she not want to run for president? and two, a couple of them maybe she shouldn t run for president. there s some democrats out there who are really freaked out. both by this and the way they ve handled the taking of foreign money from donations of foreign money. this is inexcusable, you can t justify this. right here robert gibbs, the former white house press secretary said on the today show, there s no explanation for this echoing mr. fournier there is no explanation for this you can t just put it on secretary clinton, she s mostly responsible. but she had a boss who was the president of the united states who promised the american people this would be the most transparent administration in history. this is not just a 2016 question. but this is a question for the white house, the white house has repeatedly said we are the most transparent administration in history. they said when they came in the door we re going to do things differently than previous administrations, this is something they have said over and over again. this just does not fit in with that narrative. this is a national security issue, china has read all the secretary of state s emails. this is not a secure email system. if she s using a gmail account, is it encrypted? beyond the politics of it, it s a actual national security issue. she gets to decide those are our emails. not hillary clinton s. she s paid by the taxpayers, she took this job for a president who promised to be the most transparent in history and she had every expectation she was probably going to run for president. she also knows the family history. forgive me the clintons are kind of like the new england patriots of politics, they are presumed guilty when it doms thecomes to the transparency things until proven innocent. the clintons have been known as having a sense of righteousness, don t question us. bill clinton made his political stakes on the phrase if you play by the rules, you should be able to get ahead. the problem is the clintons don t play by the rules as everybody else does. this is another example of it. you mentioned of the jitters among democrats, you used the word sleazy and stupid about the foreign donations. stupid is the more appropriate word for taking once she left the state department the clinton foundation starts taking foreign donations and there were stories that a couple came in one from algeria, $500,000 it went to help the people of haiti after the earthquake. what is algeria buying? why not just tell algeria, don t send it to the foundation send it directly to somebody else. at that time the state department said not to worry, he check all these things. listen. we like to review them. we have reviewed every donation that has been submitted. but in this case the fact that the process has, was not followed in this particular incident does not raise concerns with us. we like to review and we have reviewed every donation. it turns out, that s not true. she either made thaup to try get past a news cycle or she lied. it gets back to what you said this idea that even if there is nothing inherently bad about the donations, or nothing inherently bad in the emails it raises the question of why. why do you even bother to do something that just gives off the impression that you re hiding something or that you are doing something fraudulent. especially if you have in the back of your mind the idea that you re going 0 run for president. shall f she wants to be the candidate of the future, with such a long past including the past we went through with her husband when he was president, you ve got to put the bar up here, you got to raise it you can t lower it. especially when there s legitimate questions about her honesty. you go back to the trample office affair. that s point where there was real questions about whether or not she told the truth in that investigation. you got to be honest with people. especially now in the able of the internet where everything is out there to be seem. the names and the visions of the tomasens are passing through my head. i didn t have gray hair but some of them i remember by the second. let s move on. one guy, open question, who thinks he can take advantage of this is jeb bush the former florida governor he tweeted out, hey, hillary, you better not have destroyed those records. a couple of months back he released not all, but he released most of his emails when he was governor. he has a personal email account question that will play into the campaign. one question about jeb bush what will he be like out on the trail as a candidate. he was in vegas, here s a little snippet. senator bush don t insult me i m a governor. do you have brothers and sisters? are you exactly the same? i voted for your father once and your brother twice. what happened on the other time for my father? well ross perot was there. and you got clinton. an interesting little snippet there. just to see whether he s got it whether he s funny, he can engage in voters in the state of nevada. a very important place to raise money. if he is the nominee. one question is can the republicans get back the swing states with a a high percentage of of latino voters. this is the big question for jeb, he s much bet anywhere a q&a format this seems like something that his campaign is going to do more put him out there, taking questions. both in these policy arenas but also with voters the and i think it s got goode for him at this stage of the campaign to be getting his feet wet on this he s going to face a lot unfriendly voters he hasn t seen that yet. but he s got to get some practice under his belt. he did a good job at cpac a hostile conservative crowd. i would like to see all of jeb bush s emails. he s trying to be holier than thou he had a personal account, too so let s see them all. remember what mr. fournier said the democratic jitters, all the democratic pot is in hillary, the whole armada the question is whether somebody decides, i m going give this a try. interesting, this is why all of my emails are set to self-destruct after 60 seconds. oliver north tried that a long time ago. hate to tell you, somebody s got them. good point. john thanks so much for all of that great to see you. well the slain opposition leader laid to rest in russia it is still a mystery who killed boris nemtsov. but does his murder send a message to other critics of the putin regime? we ll explore. the real question that needs to be asked is what is it that we can do that is impactful? what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that s what i d like to do. when laquinta.com sends craig wilson a ready for you alert the second his room is ready, ya know what he becomes?

a holy war. this is a religious cleansing. there should be no doubt in people s minds that this is a full blown genocide. nobody expects one of these planes to fall out of the sky. nobody expects a 777 to vanish. suddenly this giant 777 is blind to the world. somebody on that plane redirected it and they were not telling anyone. announcer: this is new day with chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and micaela pereira. good morning, welcome to your new day. it is tuesday, march 3rd just before 8:00 in the east. headline do not betray our trust. quite the warning from the white house to benjamin netanyahu just hours before the israeli prime minister addresses congress. netanyahu by all accounts is unconcerned and plans on divulging sensitive information to congress about america s nuclear talks with iran. the white house warns that could have serious implications for the intelligence sharing agreements. his controversial speech dividing americans and israelis his appearance so controversial, about 50 lawmakers say they plan to boycott it. president obama says he does not plan to watch it calling it a distraction. cnn is covering every angle of this developing story starting with senior white house correspondent jim acosta. jim, we understand the president has made other plans. he won t be watching that speech. the president is all but acknowledging that there has been damage done to this u.s./israeli relationship. he said the damage will not be lasting. the white house is bracing for the impact of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu s speech this morning. one thing they re talking about is that he will divulge sensitive information. josh earnest warned yet that would be a betrayal of u.s. trust. netanyahu insists those talks will pave the way for iran to have a nuclear weapon soon. in an interview with reuters the president said netanyahu has been wrong and he s off the mark this time. he does not take this rift with netanyahu personally. here s what he had to say. i don t think it s permanently destructive. i think that it is a distraction from what should be our focus and our focus should be how do we stop iran from getting a nuclear weapon? i think that in the meantime maine ghosh yators are going full speed ahead. ultimately what s been remarkable is the international unity we ve been able to maintain in saying to iran you have to show the world that you are not pursuing a nuclear weapon. reporter: now the president went on to say there is less than a 50% chance that the nuclear talks will actually produce an agreement. he wants to delay iran s capability to quickly produce a nuclear bomb for ten years. as for netanyahu s host house speaker john boehner, he said the demand for tickets to this morning s speech is like nothing they ve seen before. as you know dozens of democrats will be skipping the speech. vice president joe biden will not be there. oren hatch, the utah senator will be there in biden s place. get this the white house announced in the last few minutes, chris, that the president has other plans during netanyahu s speech. he s going to be sitting down for a video conference with other european leaders about the situation in ukraine. so he s going to be busy when netanyahu is speaking to congress in just a few hours from now, chris. it will be interesting if those other leaders seem to not be paying attention on that video conference because they re watching netanyahu s speech. i m not sure about that but we ll see. we ll see how it plays out, jim. thank you very much. this idea of sensitive information, what does that mean? what will the israeli prime minister reveal? what s the strategy behind that? cnn global affairs correspondent elise labatt has the story. heady questions. do we have any answers? reporter: chris, prime minister s aids tell us that information that have never been revealed will be put out in this speech by the prime minister. he s trying to paint the administration as rushing into a bad deal with congress without briefing them and the israelis say between talking to the u.s. other parties at the negotiations their own intelligence they know exactly what s in this deal. enough to conclude it s a bad one. what the prime minister hopes is that he will scare congress enough to stop this deal from going through. he s going to say the type of centrifuges, the amount some of the research and development aspects that iran might be able to continue under this deal could cut that breakout time that the president is talking about till somewhere in the realm of six months or even less but now that the president and national security adviser susan rice have laid out the broad strokes of a deal to preempt him in a way, the prime minister is raising expectations. i m not sure there s a bombshell he has up his sleeve. u.s. officials i ve spoken to don t think. in a sense he doesn t really know if he needs that because the reports this morning that iran is rejecting what the president said about what jim was talking about, that the deal would freeze the nuclear program for ten years. they re calling it unacceptable. so the prime minister s goals to torpedo these negotiations going on in the final days leading up to that deadline. all of the drama might play into his hands, alisyn. that drama will be fascinating to see three hours from now, elise. thank you for that. nearly 50 democrats plan to boycott including congressman steve king. he is a a congressman from tennessee and he joins us now. steve cohen, not steve king. please. you re right. i knew that. you look nothing like steve king. nor do i think like him. that s exactly right. congressman cohen, i apologize for that. tell us why you re boycotting the speech. well i think it s using the congressional podium and the congress hall as political theater. i think there s politics between the speaker and republican congress and the apaic people who will pack the galleries. there s politics with the prime minister and his election. i care about israel very much and so does the president and we ve got two different ways to get to the same end which is stopping iran from having a nuclear weapon. i think it would have been better if the prime minister would have talked to the state department and talked on the inside and tried to improve the agreement rather than come to congress and be part of a spectacle and try to kill it. they re going to try to introduce a new maneuver whereby the house andersen nate have to approve the agreement. that s never been done before. they re trying to change the rules. i just think this is a replay of something we ve seen in the past. prime minister netanyahu used a speech in 2011 to promote his election in 2013. we can t use any speeches in the committee or in halls of congress in any political campaign and that same ethos should go towards the prime minister. he definitely is using this politically. congressman, are you concerned that prime minister netanyahu will divulge some sort of sensitive information during his speech today? i don t think netanyahu would say anything to make his point. he s here on a mission. he s a mission both of representing his company and getting re-elected and i will not be surprised at anything he says. i think it s going to be a grand success. unfortunately, i think the gallery will be packed with apaic people who will stand and cheer and members of the republican caucus 55 democrats i think won t be there. there will be a goodly number of democrats there as well 125 or so or more. there will be applauses. it will be like a rally. he ll get his point home to israel. he ll get his point home in america. the rift between the democratic caucus and israel does not really exist, which speaker boehner wanted to create. we still support israel but i think the cohesion between boehner and the republicans and apaic has grown and it will be reaped to the benefits of the republicans and that s what speaker boehner wanted. congressman, let me play for you what prime minister netanyahu says is his reasoning behind speaking out to congress today. as prime minister of israel i have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there s still time to avert them. he says the timing is important. he must speak up today because he s still there s still time to send this cautionary warning. well you know i know he says that. i believe i have a moral obligation not to be there to be sure what i think is bad conduct and i know he has this opinion. charlton heston could make the speech in the same way. to you this is political theater, this is not a bona fide warning that he s sending to the world? he may hit that concern, iran is a bad player. they have threatened israel s annihilation. i am concerned about that. i think the negotiations if they re successful the agreement can do more to preserve israel s life than the failure of the negotiations. the failure of the negotiations take place the only thing he has to offer is more sanctions, a war. i don t think more sanctions will work. sanctions have helped. certainly they ve got iran to the table, but i believe more sanctions without anymore observation of their nuclear facilities will allow them to then ramp up and make them ramp up and get a nuclear weapon and who knows what will happen. netanyahu has not been the best at negotiating and trying to calm situations, he never does. he s big at the 212 degree level. he moves everything to the boiling point whether it s settlements in the west bank or any other situation. i think we need calmer minds at this point. quickly, senator. what do you think this will do to u.s./israel relations? will this have a lasting impact? the relationship between president obama and prime minister netanyahu has not been good. it s worse. it s going to continue. it will deteriorate as long as he s prime minister but the relationship of most people in the congress will not change at all and i think the relationship between the united states and israel will remain strong regardless who s the prime minister and regardless who is the president. congressman steve cohen, we appreciate being on new day. give chris cuomo my best. his father would be proud of him. we ll do. cnn will have live coverage beginning at 10:00 a.m. eastern. stick around for that. michaela. so as israel s prime minister prepares to make his case secretary of state john kerry meeting with his iranian counterpart in switzerland for a new round of negotiations. cnn s chief national correspondent jim sciutto is live from switzerland. jim. reporter: michaela good morning. there is a seriousness to move forward. that s what the iranian foreign minister told us this morning, and you see that in the meetings really marathon round of meetings between the iranian foreign minister zarif and john kerry. they ve been marching along the lake front from one hotel to another. they ll meet with each other for an hour and confer with staff and start again. they started late last night and will continue into tomorrow. they really have their nose to the grind stone here trying to work out an agreement even with all the political acrimony back in dc. that acrimony is seeping into this conversation because secretary of state john kerry has expressed this publicly concerned about what prime minister netanyahu will reveal in that speech. i think the fact is they won t know for sure until he speaks what detail he s going to reveal. the position from this end is it has to be taken with the whole agreement. if they re released piecemeal, they are by definition not indicative of the wider agreement. there are more hiccups, obstacles for certain. one of those very serious. that s that the iaea has not revealed its obligation to reveal past efforts at nuclear weaponization. that s a big deal. spoke with state department officials here. they say that will have to be part of any final agreement and it s clear that it s not just the politics back in washington that stand in the way of an agreement here. there are real obstacles, still real gaps to be narrowed in these talks. chris. beautiful setting for such high stakes talks. jim, we ll check back in with you. so former secretary of state hillary clinton maybe, maybe she broke federal recordkeeping rules. why? she used her personal e-mail account for government business her entire tenure. what was going on with that? let s bring in senior political correspondent brianna keilar joins us live from d.c. i never knew anything about this. what s the take? reporter: this is a very big deal. you say she may have broken laws or rules here chris. a lot of experts say that she did by using only a personal account while she was secretary of state. this is a huge development especially as hillary clinton is just perhaps weeks from declaring her candidacy for president. so her spokesperson says that she while using this personal account was adhering to the spirit and the letter of the law, but consider this president obama, for instance he has a government e-mail account. this is for a couple of reasons. because it s secure and also for the preservation of historic records. she used only her personal account and that means that she and her aids have tremendous discretion when it comes to the preservation or handing over of documents for certain things say benghazi or other things that may be needed. i spoke to one congressional democrat who said to me typical clinton. that means that this is playing into this pre-existing narrative of the clintons being perhaps sneaky perhaps thinking that they don t really i guess have to play by the rules that other people play by. so it is certainly a big development. you may have some democrats who because she s so much the front-runner in the polls have kind of stood back waiting to see what will happen. maybe this gives them pause. maybe they think, you know what maybe she s not infallible and i can throw my hat into the ring. alisyn. brianna, thanks so much for that. we ll talk more about that in the program. also the terror group boko haram host being the apparent beheadings of two men that the group claimed were spies. the 6-minute video shows a knife wielding man with two bound captives. it cuts to a shot of the captives bodies. experts and social media people noting isis parallels even though this is not the first time boko haram has issued a beheading video. for the second time a georgia woman s execution has been called off because at this time the problem with the drugs may be cloudy. she was slated to die at 7:00 p.m. last night. the 47-year-old was convicted of orchestrating her husband s death back in 1997. she was initially supposed to be executed wednesday but that was postponed due to weather. as you wrestling fans know comedian jon stewart has had a running feud with pro wrestler seth rollins. it finally came to a head on monday night raw. after stewart did some trench dogging, the daily segment inside the ring he escapes an epic beat down with a signature move with a low blow to the gern and he slips through the ropes so he can go off in pillary a politician or us. is that move fair?

well anything to bring some stability and justice to the middle hallelujah. i m not supposed to say that. that s lattin. i just did. there s so much turmoil and lack of stability. for us in the christian family, they take it out on the christians. they are a distinct minority who are being systematically targeted. people don t see it that way here. when you think about christians you think of the dominant mass. yes, we know that. there s a couple things we have to remember. christianity is ancient in that part of the world. you think of the coptic orthodox bishops, they ve been in egypt sings the time saint mark the apostle. you went with them. i was honored to be with them at their little church on staten island. the christians have been there seven centuries prior to islam. they speak the language of the pharaohs right? they re looked upon as the outsiders. that s point number one. they re so venerable. secondly they re a distinct minority. thirdly, they re sometimes they re caricatured and stereotyped as part of western civilization because christianity has this reputation sometimes, it s not right, but sometimes in the arab mind of being part of western culture. christianity is universal and all over the world. we know in the history of the church one of the way it was described is through the roman empire. it s often thought of as a western lattin roman european construct, and that s another element that adds to the sense of antipathy that they have throughout the mid east. obviously isis is going after everybody, right, who doesn t agree with them but do you believe that this is targeted genocide that this is holy war by these isis extremists on christians? i do. i think it s time to talk turkey and i think it s systematic well choreographed, very well-focused attempt to eradicate the ancient christian population in the mid east. i m quick to add and i believe with all my heart and soul that they do not represent genuine islamic thought. you believe they are muslims? they are for sure. i would say a particularly perverted form of islam. that s been a real problem for the white house in terms of defining who the enemy is. the president doesn t want to give credibility to them as muslims because they re not good muslims. many believe it s more confusing than clarifying. they claim to be muslims, even the majority of temperate peace loving muslims would say i am afraid they have a particular strand erroneous islam. they are. you know the parallel i ve drawn, chris. enough people have been kind enough to tell me that they think the analogy is accurate. remember 30 35 years ago with the ira in ireland? sure. the ira claimed to be catholic. they were baptized. what they were doing was a perverse and to their immense credit the bishops of ireland, every time the ira blew up a car or a house or barracks in the british army the irish bishops say they are not catholic. you re calling for the same thing now? the analogy is somewhat accurate. these are not pure these are not real muslims. now what we need and what pope francis has led the world in saying is we need the temperate moderate genuine forces of islam to rise up and say this they do not represent us. now that s beginning to happen. god can bring good out of evil. right. you saw a leading scholar in egypt. sure. has visited the coptic pope and said we have to start working. you have the mhouthis that come out and say it but it s a tremendous group and you need more than one voice. my muslim friends tell me one problem we have that you catholics don t, we don t have one leader that speaks to us. you have pope francis. we don t have that because there are different splinters of islamic thought, islamic practice but i think if something good s coming from this chris, we see the voice of measured temperate, fair just islam that s beginning to speak up and say these fanatics do not represent us. let s look at home quickly here. okay. when you talk about trends you re seeing what s happening in courts about same-sex marriage. the church is clear. the pope said something interesting, he would evaluate or consider evaluating civil unions. this has been something that you have taken a lead on. where does it stand with the church as you see the trend? we re not going to give up. we don t take our cues from what s happening politically and legally. we take our cues from divine revelation and from what we believe is planted in the human heart. even with the young catholics saying that nor do we take our cues from the opinion polls because we know that a good number of a good chunk of the united states and even a good number of our own people don t agree with us but we keep we feel we have got to be courageous in proclaiming the truth about mainch marriage and we will do that. i m not familiar with what the holy father said. all of us wonder if there is a type of relationship where certain civil rights could be respected that would not rise to a redefinition of marriage. that s of course what you call the civil partnerships. a thoughtful people would disagree with that. i, though i wonder if we as a church could ever though even give a nod to something that we feel and believe with all our heart and soul is not consonant with what god has taught us. that would be a tough thing for us as catholics to do but they are two questions two different questions, and i think thoughtful people are pondering them. as you referenced the pope you know he has been big very expansive about catholicism. you love it that he s like let s not focus so much on what s wrong and let s focus on the love. he is coming to the united states. you bet he is. it s going to be tremendous. it s going to be a big responsibility for you, one that you take very joyously i assume. september he ll be here probably before he goes to philadelphia. you re right, chris. we are told and, again, this is broad outlines. the holy sea will announce it three months before he would come. we re told that probably he ll get here the evening of thursday september 24th. please god, he ll visit the cathedral. we know he wants to go to the united nations. he s told me he would love to visit with an interreligious community somewhere and he s talking about everywhere to tap into the rich diversity that we have in the united states religions in a uniquely exemplary way show the harmony that religions should have. he wants to do that. he wants to visit one of our inner city catholic schools, he wants to visit one of our catholic charity sites. somewhere during the day he ll offer mass somewhere. it will be good. then he ll go to philadelphia for the world meeting of family on saturday and sunday. word is big fan of cnn, cnn during the conclave was the only way to focus on berglio. he s big into cnn. wants to take on issues for the catholic church. would love to do it in the media setting. i haven t heard that. i appreciate it. could you give me a memo. i heard he wants it to be a catholic an ethnic catholic would be preferred. rich ethnic diversity. that s it. over six feet tall. don t we have an irish journalist. six feet tall may be tough. way to go. always a joy to be with you. pleasure to be with you. thanks for asking. alisyn i tried. the cardinal seems strangely skeptical of your version. overtime for me in confession this week. i suggest that. excellent. also coming up we re going to be taking a closer look at that controversy around hillary clinton s e-mails. did she violate federal law? how could this impact her plans for 2016? it kind of is hard to believe it s been almost one year since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared. a search is still underway. what are the chances the plane will ever be found? new details ahead. e-mail controversy, or nontroversy. hillary clinton used her personal e-mail a account for all of her business while she was secretary of state. that much we know. is it okay? what will it mean for her? let s bring in jay tapper cnn chief correspondent anchor of course of the lead with jay tapper. what do you think about the potential timing and exposure? what s interesting is jeb bush jumped on it jeb bush who famously released about 250,000 e-mails from his two terms as florida governor saying in an e-mail clearly aimed at the former secretary of state clinton, transparency matters and calling for her to release all of her e-mails. i can t say why it s coming out now whether it s reporters realizing hillary clinton is going to run for president and it s time to put scrutiny on them or perhaps the clinton people are seeing damaging stories in their midst and getting them out there as soon as possible. either way, i think it feeds into a narrative for hillary which is that she is secretive and can t be trusted. i think you re spot on about that in terms of the perception being reality, the optics of it. it seems a little less clear what she did wrong. the state department changed its policy. secretary kerry has a different protocol now than was in place for then secretary of state clinton so maybe that part goes quickly, but the political side maybe a longer haul. yes? yeah i agree. and the other thing that s interesting is the fact that they thought they could get around the federal records act by just having her send her e-mails even though they re from a private account, not accountable to other state department officials, their government accounts. that of course is not what the letter of the law says. the federal records act explicitly said that her aides should have retained all of those e-mails and kept them and turned them over. you are right, as always. so talking about political tactics and the trouble they can get you in. let s shift over to what s going on with prime minister netanyahu when he comes here now. the white house has been cagey about this but now they re taking some moves of their own, right? it s really interesting the last few days. we have seen an escalation of rhetoric from both sides, from the netanyahu side and the obama side. in the last couple of weeks especially this week we ve really seen some very stark language. president obama in the reuters interview he gave yesterday explicitly trying to undermine prime minister netanyahu s credibility saying when it came to the 2013 interim deal with iran quote, netanyahu made all sorts of claims about that deal that would not come true trying to undermine netanyahu s credibility before the speech to congress. using language that you would usually reserve for a primary opponent in the thick of a presidential battle. and of course now having the video conference the president is with other european leaders that will start about a half hour in to the prime minister s speech. that s a pretty obvious tactic there. the one thing that justifies wait and see is we ve never really seen anything like this before where you have someone who s so important to the united states coming here to take a position opposite to the united states on its own territory to its congress, right? no that s right. it is stark. and you also are going to see a lot of pageantry this morning with the republican house speaker, john boehner, really making a show of support for netanyahu presenting him with a bust of winston churchill, churchill the only other foreign leader to address congress three times. netanyahu will be giving boehner some things as well. it is a sign of how tense and uncomfortable things are with the president and netanyahu. we know you ll be covering every second of it and we ll be watching. jake tapper thank you. thanks. dana bash has been talking to her sources about this hillary personal e-mail story as well as netanyahu s upcoming speech. dana, great to see you. reporter: you, too, alisyn. let s start with the hillary e-mails. what are your sources on the hill saying? reporter: i think concern is an understatement. there is a lot of fretting going on. i ve been talking on the phone. i ve been e-mailing with democratic lawmakers, with other democratic sources because she s their horse she s it. and obviously a concern among democrats has been about her her baggage. there s no other way to put it. as jake was just talking about with chris, what this exposes isn t just some troubles about these e-mails but not unlike mitt romney and his 47% problem, that was a problem because it fed a narrative. this feeds a narrative that the clintons feel like they are above everything else they can get around the laws fair or not. perhaps in this case it is unfair if we get all the information. that s what democrats are very very concerned about. and also alisyn what they re concerned about is that she doesn t have a formal campaign up and running, not even close. so she doesn t have the apparatus around her for the damage control that she could do that democrats know how to do. they ve done this before. but she s not there yet. so they don t have the mechanisms of getting the information from the state department from her office from her aids or former aids to try to prove the idea wrong that she isn t transparent. so that is the very big frustration i m hearing from democrats who very much want to keep the white house in 2016 as you can imagine. interesting. so let s turn our attention now to netanyahu s speech. i know you had a very interesting exchange with senator dianne feinstein. what did she tell you? reporter: well she s concerned about what the prime minister is going to say with regard to the iran talks. elise labott is saying he s going to give new information about the substance of those talks. dianne feinstein, who s the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee told me that she s concerned about that because the only information she s gotten at all about what s going on in these talks is in a classified setting. so there s a lot of concern very openly from the white house that they re concerned that he s going to talk about sensitive or even classified information. it certainly does feed people like dianne feinstein, and there are a lot of them. we know probably about 50 who are outright boycotting this speech who think that this is the wrong time and the wrong place for the prime minister to be speaking both on the substance and just on the optics of it because they believe that this is partisan at a time when it shouldn t be partisan. dana bash thanks so much for sharing your reporting with us. we will all be watching starting at 10:00 a.m. this morning. thank you. little bit shocking to think about it this way, but we re coming up on a year since mh-370 vanished. of course the search still underway in the southern indian ocean. are we any closer anywhere in terms of finding out what happened let alone finding the plane itself? there are new details we re learning and we re telling them to you ahead. it s a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. .that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it s not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could ve been brenda. okay.listen up. i m here to get the lady of the house back on her feet. ohhhh. okay veggies you re cool. mayo, corn dogs you are so out of here! ahh. cause i m reworking the menu. keeping her healthy and you on your toes. the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals antioxidants and 9 grams of protein. i see you cupcake. uh oh the #1 doctor recommended brand. ensure. nutrition in charge!

great. because you re not you you re a whole airline. and it s not a ticket you re upgrading it s your entire operations, from domestic to international. which means you need help from a whole team of advisors. from workforce strategies to tech solutions and a thousand other things. so you call pwc. the right people to get the extraordinary done. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it s a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. here are the five things you need to know for your new day. number one israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressing dock this morning. the white house warning him not to reveal sensitive details in the ongoing nuclear talks with iran. meanwhile, secretary of state john kerry says they are making some progress in those nuclear negotiations. kerry and his iranian counterpart meeting in switzerland. there s an end of march deadline to agree on a framework for a deal. a funeral this morning for russia s former prime minister boris nemtsov. he was gunned down days before he was expected to speech. his killer remains at large. the new york times reports former secretary of state hillary clinton may have broken federal recordkeeping rules for using her personal e-mail account for government business during her tenure. she apparently did not have a government e-mail address. a messy winter storm tracking across the midwest to the northeast. it is expected to bring snow and freezing rain. the storm is expected also to hit pennsylvania through new england tonight into tomorrow morning. we do update those five things to know so be sure to visit new day cnn.com. do you remember the twa 800 flight disaster so many lost so much in that mysterious ka tast trophy. heidi snow lost her husband and she wanted to help others so look what she did. the u.s. coast guard tonight is reporting an explosion not many of us can relate to losing a loved one in a plane crash, but heidi snow can. we re in the air i remember fire and really dark water and at that point my life just stood still. snow spent the days after the 1996 twa disaster with the other families finding comfort in shared grief. when everyone went home she felt lost. i had a huge hole in my heart and i had a future planned with somebody and that was gone. snow then met with some families of another plane crash that lived near her. she realized there wasn t a support group for this kind of loss. when i walked in that room was the first time i didn t have to apologize for my tears. they didn t have to say a word. they got it. i said to them we ve got families all around the world who could benefit so much from talking to you. i want to make sure that no one ever has to go through their loss alone. snow created a unique foundation. access is a nonprofit peer-to-peer bereavement group. we match mothers to mothers, siblings to siblings spouses to spouses. this is the year before he died. people like rachel courtney. she lost her father in a private plane crash. i needed to talk to someone for a period of time then i felt like i was in a really good place. i felt like i had made peace with the loss of my father and at that point i felt like i want to be able to do this for other people. there is no process that s right or wrong. you can t fix somebody s grief, you have to sit with them. hold their hand with them through this. so helpful. on the same grim topic, it s been one year since malaysian flight 370 disappeared. after all this time why do searchers now think they re looking in the right place? a cnn special report brings you the latest. miranda: i got red dirt stains on my boots and jeans. calloused fingers from my guitar strings. wild like the wind in the tall pine trees. i got roots and i got wings. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. don t let non-24 get in the way of your pursuit of happiness. march 8th will mark one year since malaysia airlines flight 370 vanished. with a search still underway in the southern indian ocean, cnn s martin savidge looks back at what we do know and asks the question, will we ever find it. here s an excerpt from vanished. reporter: 19 minutes after air traffic control s last contact with the cockpit flight 370 has disappeared. a controller in kuala lumpur calls malaysia airlines for help. i think fundamentally you have to assume nobody expects one of these planes to fall out of the sky. nobody expects a 777 to vanish. reporter: and malaysia airlines tells air traffic control a completely different story. they say mh-370 hasn t vanished at all. according to their own internal flight tracking system. malaysia airlines says oh,, the aircraft s fine. we know exactly where it is. reporter: yet they ve had no communication. they ve had none. they ve had none. so their system was showing that the aircraft had continued to go on that heading. reporter: over the next hour and a half malaysia airlines gives air traffic control more promising messages. they had exchanged signals with the flight. the plane was in normal condition. and the plane was flying off the coast of vietnam along its scheduled flight path. and at that point the guard is let down. you start going in a different direction. you re not sirearch and rescue, you re going along. reporter: but an hour and a half later, a tragic realization. malaysia airlines now tells air traffic control the information was wrong. martin savidge joins us now from atlanta. so many frustrating pieces and parts to this. so much mystery. are we learning anything new? any new developments in the investigation, martin? reporter: well we are learning new. they re learning new information all the time. most people come up to me and ask me that very question where is that plane? the search effort is ongoing. they ve refined the search effort. the man who heads up that search is an australian, martin dolan. normally he s a pessimist but he is optimistic this aircraft will be found. it s been a year now or almost. not even so much of as a cocktail napkin. there are other experts, unfortunately, who are growing pessimistic that they will find the plane but they are still looking, michaela. for the special i understand you had a chance to meet with the man who was friendly with one of the pilots? reporter: yes, this is what s fascinating. he s a pilot who works for malaysian airlines. he grew up with the captain of mh-370. he knows the man, the plane, everything like nobody else. the insights we bring you is fascinating. lastly i have to know. it will still point people to the show to see it tonight because i think it s very important. it tells a vital story. how long are they going to keep at it? they have to look for the benefit of these families. what is their plan? reporter: their plan is to continue as long as it takes. now that s always a standard line given australia has allocated $46 million for this phase of the search. they are doing it differently. this time they ve said we ll let you know when we find something. other than last time when they built up hopes and the hopes crashed. they re still out there every day. every single day. we know that it s such a desolate part of the world in the middle of the ocean there and weather does not cooperate with them very often. martin savidge, we can t wait to see this. tune in for it. it s called vanished, the mystery of malaysia airlines flight 370. thanks martin. chris. very special girl scouts for you in the good stuff. they do more things than sell cookies. selfless things for someone else in crisis and that s why they get the gs stamp on them. not girl scout, good stuff. sked is what is it that we can do that is impactful?

we are standing by for a press conference with the los angeles police department regarding the latest in their investigation looking into the shooting death of a homeless man by several l.a. police officers. as soon as this press conference gets started, we re expected to hear from the police chief, we ll take you back there live. first n less than 24 hours israeli prime minister netanyahu will make a rare and controversial speech to congress to try to derail u.s. support of a nuclear deal with iran. this is happening as reuters is just reporting today that iran is being, quote, slow to cooperate with nuclear inspest ers inspectors. today netanyahu began making his case before a pro-israel group, one of the most powerful lobbies on capitol hill. he was greeted with lots of cheers. he s up for re-election in just a couple of weeks and he received a victor s reception as he walked on to the aipac stage. [ applause ] right away netanyahu acknowledged the elephant in the room. his strained relations with the white house and the fact he won t be seeing president obama during this visit. my speech is not intended to show any disrespect to president obama or the esteemed office that he holds. i have great respect for both. iran envelopes the entire world with its tentacles of terror. this is what iran is doing now without nuclear weapons. imagine what iran would do with nuclear weapons. and the same iran vows to annihilate israel. if it develops nuclear weapons, it would have the means to aheave that goal. we must not let that happen. the prime minister says his speech today wasn t hardly a preview of what he s going to say. yesterday more of a warmup really. we now know 30 democrats in congress are expected to boycott netanyahu s address tomorrow. and they are far from the only ones speaking out against this speech. some israelis in fact are among netanyahu s toughest critics. a group of 180 former commanders in israel s security apparatus are calling for the prime minister to cancel his speech to the u.s. congress. we ll talk more about that in just a moment. right now, let s break away and check in with this press conference. this is l.a. police chief charlie beck speaking about the man who was killed by police officers yesterday. very intense situation and a brutal brutal fight. it highlights the homeless and mental illness issues that trouble us in our skid row area. at approximately 12:00 noon on sunday officers from lapd central area station were dispatched to the 500 block of south sampedro. they were dispatched to a citizen report of a robbery call. upon arrival the, officers and a supervisor made contact with the victim who directed them to a suspect s location. when police approached the suspect, he repeatedly refused to comply with officers commands and then began to fight with them. during the altercation, officers used tasers in an attempt to subdue the man. however, the tasers appeared to have little effect and he continued to violently resist. while on the ground, and struggling with the officers the man forcibly grabbed one of the officer s holstered pistols resulting in an officer-involved shooting. officers immediately summoned los angeles fire department paramedics to the scene who determined the man was deceased. paramedics transported him to the l.a. county coroner s office. two of the officers involved in the incident sustained injuries. they were treated and released from area hospital. one is on crutches at this moment and is recuperating at home. as with all officer-involved shootings, lapd specialize forced investigation division responded to preserve and collect evidence and to interview witnesses to the shooting. as you know portions of this incident were captured on video from various sources including two body-worn cameras on officers at the scene. these will be reviewed and analyzed as part of the ongoing investigation. force investigation s investigation will be comprehensive and will be conducted in coordination with lapd s office of inspector general and will be presented to the board of police commissioners to determine whether use of deadly force in this incident was consistent with department policies and procedures. also the l.a. county district attorney s justice systems integrity division responded to the scene and will conduct a comprehensive review of all facts which result in the shooting. the officers involved in this incident are assigned to our safer cities initiative in central area and are specially trained on dealing with homeless people and mental illness issues. several of the officers have participated and completed our most extensive mental illness training over a 36-hour course. all of the officers had had training to some extent in dealing with the mentally ill. photos of the officer s pistol are on my right. as you can see, the slide is partially engaged and a round has been partially ejected and fouled the firing chamber. this is indicative of a struggle over the weapon. as you can also see, the magazine is dislodged from its resting place. this is also indicative of force used on the weapon. there s also a screen grab from a privately taken video. if you examine that it appears that the suspect s hand is reaching for the officer s waistband in the area where his pistol would be located. there s also a photo of a standard glock pistol without its slide engaged, and you can use that for comparison purposes so you can see the effect of the struggle on the officer s weapon. as i started, this is an extreme tragedy. we feel great compassion in the lapd for people who live in conditions of homelessness and often mental illness with no treatment. we prepare our officers to deal as best they can with them but the reality is this is much more than a problem that the police alone, can solve. i ve reviewed the other videos. it appears to me the officers acted compassionately up until the time when force was required. these are very difficult situations. my heart goes out to the family of the man who was killed, and also to the los angeles police officers who had to be part of this tragedy. as always anybody that saw, recorded or in other ways may have information regarding this incident we ask to contact the lapd. this investigation is ongoing. you will have many questions, which i cannot answer because it is premature. but we will find out truth of this matter. with that i ll take a couple questions. based on what you know now, i know it s still in the investigative process and we ll learn more in the days and weeks ahead, based on what you know now, does it appear to you that the officers acted justifiably when they fired shots at this man? part of my role as chief of police is to adjudicate these investigations and it would be inappropriate for me to go that far and to make a statement about the propriety of this incident until i have seen all the evidence. and i ask the public to do the same thing. these are exhaustive investigations. they re conducted not only by the police department but by the inspector general who works directly for the police commission and not from me. also reviewed by the district attorney who as investigators roll to the scene at the time of the shooting. also reviewed through our internal process before it goes to police commission. these are some of the most exhaustive investigations we do and i ask that just as i do, that folks not rush to judgment either on the actions of the officers or the actions of the deceased. can you tell me i know you yes, eric? slow down. i know that you ve talked about it appears that the gentleman reaching for the officer s gun, can you also talk a little bit about the audio on the video? can you confirm whether it was officers that said drop the gun ? i have reviewed the video and the audio, and preliminarily, it you can hear the young officer who is primarily engaged in the confrontation, saying that he has my gun, he has my gun. he says it several times. he has my gun? well and i ve heard other audios that sound a little dissimilar but the one that i heard the most clear is the officer saying he has my gun. he says it several times, with conviction. two of those officers were wearing body cameras. we ve been listening in now to l.a. police chief charlie beck addressing a situation that has caught fire not only in the l.a. area but really around the country involving a homeless man who was shot and killed by several l.a. police officers yesterday during a confrontation on l.a. s skid row. i want to bring in our stephanie elam who s on the ground there in the neighborhood where this happened. i know stephanie, you ve been listening to that press conference. we heard police chief charlie beck essentially say the investigation is ongoing, but the preliminary investigation suggests that the officers responded appropriately and that there s evidence that the homeless man was trying to grab one of their guns. what else did you hear? reporter: right. that is a huge part of this. a crucial part of this video ana, is whether or not this man was reaching for the weapon. when you do watch the video from the beginning, you can see that the man who ends up dead is combative. you can see him swinging at police officers. that part you can see. you don t need the police to tell you that, but when you take a look at this tragedy here and how tense and how quickly it bubbled over that s where people are wondering what exactly happened. it s hard to ascertain exactly if this man was reaching for the gun or not. that s what the lapd are saying. that is the word that they re saying. and that what is what led to him being shot. three officers discharged their weapons. what is also really noteworthy here is that here on skid row, there is an issue with mental illness. there are a lot of people here who are battling mental illness and end up with nowhere else to go and end up at skid row. this is something we heard chief beck address as well in this press conference that he s holding right now about this homeless issue and that it s highlighting this problem and there needs to be some sort of solution to that and there hasn t really been any result in fixing this problem. not just here in l.a., but throughout the country ana. and charlie, the chief, charlie beck also said that these officers who work in that neighborhood are specially

reporter: we spent some time, ana, trying to kind of take that temperature of what israelis are saying about this. the most recent polls here show that when itle comes to speech the israeli people are largely split down the middle. 38% to 38% for and against the prime minister giving the speech. there s a large number 24% of israeli public not taking a position on whether or not he should speak. so you hear a diversity of opinion, but i also hear some strong criticism of the prime minister s intentions here. i spoke with a former israeli diplomat a longtime foreign policy advisers to the israeli government alon pinkis. he called prime minister s move visit, a mistake and then some. listen to this. despite his denial today, despite his holier than thou attitude he is injecting israel into the american political arena. he loves doing that. he did that in the past in 1996 1997 and 199 8 when bill clinton was president and did it in 2012 during the presidential campaign when mr. obama was seeking re-election and mr. romney challenged him. he s doing it now two short nows before our election. reporter: you heard from net netanyahu earlier today despite what alon pinkas says. he did not agree about injecting israel into the american political system. his critics along with pinkas say that s exactly what it s done. i asked if he believed him. he said absolutely not. one thing he mentioned about the election which noteworthy, they re two weeks away from an election in israel. among netanyahu s critics, they believe this is a campaign move for him to boost his chances to win re-election in a very tight race that he is facing. that is something to be seen that s clearly not something that the israeli, that the netanyahu sininner circle way say is a part of this. does his opponent agree with netanyahu on this issue? reporter: one more time, ana i just lost you. go ahead. does netanyahu s opponent he s facing off against in his election does he agree with netanyahu on this issue, iranian nuclear deal and negotiations? reporter: that s actually been a really interesting development even since we ve been on the ground. his main opponent his name is isaac. early on, let s say a couple weeks ago hertsog had come out being very critical of the prime minister for his way of going about making this speech, but does say when it comes to the issue of iran, and this existential threat to the survival of israel they are all really one in the same on how serious the threat is. hetsog says he will have a different tactic in how to raise his concerns with the obama administration but make no mistake, they all believe in how serious the threat of iran is. as we got on the ground here we ve noticed a really noteworthy shift in tone not only were we hearing that from the obama administration and everyone attempting for lack of a better term play nice here and tamp down any tensions that exist, we were also hearing that on the ground here in israel. hetsog his partner in this, zippyzip py tsipi livni, others saying they have much to say. while it s seen as a state visit for their prime minister to go abroad, they re not going to be critical of him and speak out until he returns. you have noticed pretty much across the board folks trying to bring the temperature down if you will. gotcha. kate bolduan in jerusalem. thank you. let s hear from someone who knows benjamin netanyahu personally. danny danni was israel s deputy defense minister until netanyahu fired him i guess last year over his criticism of how israel was dealing with the conflict in gaza. danny, thanks so much for joining me. do you think netanyahu should speak tomorrow to congress? absolutely, ana. i think prime minister netanyahu is representing the people of israel. we are worried. we are worryied about the agreement. march 24th is the date. we have a good reason to be worried. the p 5 plus 1 want to stop iran from becoming nuclear at the moment. we re saying it s not enough. we should stop iran from becoming nuclear forever. not to allow them in 5 years, 10 years or 15 years. the issue of the u.n.ranium. why should they enrich uranium when they have no ambitions? i think the prime minister will say very clearly, we love the american people we work with the administration but on the security issues we cannot take those risks. does israel believe any kind of diplomacy could work on this issue of iran s nuclear program? yes. we believe in diplomacy, but look what happened. the sanctions regime was effective. iran today is in a position that they want to sign an agreement, but we should push them and make sure that they sign a good agreement and not allow them to keep all their capabilities that they want not allow them to develop a nuclear bomb in 10 or 15 years. not allowing them to continue to develop missiles. why they need missiles if they don t have any military ambitions? so i think, yes, we should continue with diplomacy, but not to give in in the meantime. this is the meantime. we expect our friends to stand strong on these issues. the nuclear negotiations is one thing, but now we re also learning iran may be assisting iraq in its fight against isis. in fact just today, we got images from iran media showing one of their generals visiting iraq and it could be in the case of isis israel and iran are on the same side. what do you make of that? that could be but when i look at the region here in the middle east i see that the iranians supporting terrorism all over. they re endorsing terrorism in lebanon, in syria. so maybe today they re fighting isis isis but in the long run they ll use their technology, capabilityies against israel against the u.s. that s what they ve been doing for the last 25 years and will continue to do it. it seems people on both sides agree that this visit by the prime minister netanyahu to the u.s. without consulting with the white house whatsoever comes across looking very partisan like it s a political ploy in some fashion. what do you think needs to happen for the relationship between israel and the u.s. to be repaired? both of our relationships are very strong and we will overcome this obstacle. we need to look at the issue, not at the relationship. we have seen in the past in 1981 when prime minister decided to attack the nuclear reactor in iraq. israel was condemned by the u.n. by the u.s. it took a few years to acknowledge the right decision. i think also in a few weeks or months when we look at the speech of prime minister netanyahu netanyahu, we will be able to say it was a right speech at the right time because we cannot come after march 24th and say that we don t like this agreement. all right. danny danon, thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. also across the world, a prominent critic of vladimir putin is assassinated just yards from the kremlin. and now amid their mourning the opposition is furious and assigning blame for this brazen murder. plus a fight for saddam hussein s hometown. a battle between isis and iraqi forces. how significant is this? that s ahead. when you ache and haven t slept. you re not you. tylenol® pm relieves pain and helps you fall fast asleep and stay asleep. we give you a better night. you re a better you all day. tylenol®. this could be the biggest test yet for the iraqi army retaking the city of tikrit from the grip of isis. the iraqi army, alongside both sunni and shiite militiamen are now attacking isis strongholds near the city part of a wide-scale offensive. this is why this is so significant. tikrit fell under isis control in june after the capture of mosul. meanwhile, new propaganda photos released by isis show the terror group fighting back against iraqi security forces in and around tikrit. let me bring in retired u.s. army brigadier general anthony, the author of foreign and domestic. general, you re joining us now. 30,000 fighters are taking part in this offenseiveoffensive. why do you think tikrit is so important? ana, it s great to be here. tikrit is important for a lot of reasons. you mentioned it s saddam hussein s hometown. there s some level of significance there. last june there were about 800 to 1,400 iraqi army soldiers mass cured edcured there by isis. that s significant. that may be part of the motivation behind a lot of the factions that are participating in this fight. there s sunni there s shia and many of those masacured were sunni and shia. that s part of it. most significantly from a military standpoint is that to get to mosul, you have to have tikrit so that s a logistics-based jumping off point if you will to be able to get up to mosul to have that attack. you can t go to mosul and leave your rear flank exposed with the enemy hold in toikrittikrit. that s the big reason you have to have tikrit before you get to mosul. this offensive has started. hopefully it s a combined arms campaign with aviation jets artillery, intelligence communications and have good command and control synchronizing this fight so we can destroy this enemy, move them out of tikrit and get set for the drive to mosul. cnn s fareed zakaria sat down with jordan s king abdullah and asked about how the world needs to handle isis. listen to this and we ll chat on the backside. how should the west handle this? should the response to isis be essentially an arab response a muslim response or should the west be in the lead? this has to be unified. i mean i ve said this to leaders both in the islamic and arab world and to the world in general. this is a third-world war by other means. this brings muslims, christians other religions together in this generational fight that all of us have to be this together. so it s not a western fight. this is a fight inside islam where everybody comes together against these outlaws so to speak. some strong words there. do you agree, general? are we on the brink of a world war iii? ana, you know i ve been saying this for weeks, if not months now, that we need a coalition. it s got to involve the arab nations. it s got to involve the west. this is a war against the west by isis. i believe that isis would like to make it global and it will become global if we do not stop it where it is right now. they re already recruiting from the united states and other countries in the west. you see the recruits coming in from great britain and france and the united states so yeah i think we are on the brink of something really bad happening on a global scale unless we get this under control and i think this advance on tikrit is the first step to try to do that and what i have been saying is that we ve got to leverage all of our elements of power, our political power, our diplomatic power, to build the coalition. our economic power to shut down countries that are buying black market oil from isis such as turkey. then our military power, of course in the form of communications and signals and electronics and intelligence and being able to facilitate very accurate fighting and targeting so that the coalition can advance, and it s got to be the arab nations that are leading this much like you saw secretary baker do with the desert storm building that coalition of all those nations lined up because they knew that saddam hussein violating kuwait s sovereign rights was an attack against the rest of them. this have very much the same type of thing in a much more decentralized way. all right, general tata thank you for sharing your experience and expertise and helping us to understand what s happening in iraq in the middle east right now. thank you. up next a murder mystery. a russian opposition leader gunned down in moscow and the key witness, his 23-year-old girlfriend. and now she s speaking out. we ll hear from her. plus kremlin critics are demanding justice, but aren t sure they ll get it. if a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident s unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher brighter denture every day. it s the murder that has shaken moscow and one that s raising a lot of uncomfortability questions. boris nemtsov, a high profile critic of vladimir putin was gun the down outside f kremlin friday night while walking inging his girlfriend. putin s critics are furious questioning his possible involvement. he s condemned the shooting. boris nemtsov s girlfriend is the only witness to the crime and spoke to a russian tv network about what she saw. translator: where did boris killer appear from? translator: i don t know. i didn t see because this was happening behind my back. translator: by description, did this person react to your request immediately or started calling? translator: when i turned, i only saw a light-colored car but i didn t see the make or number of the car that was leaving. buck sexton is joining me now, a former cia counterterrorism analyst. buck boris girlfriend says she didn t really get a good look at the gunman. she spent pretty much the weekend meeting with russian police and investigators. she s afraid and wants to leave the country now. is she being treated for like a witness or a suspect is. i think she s part of the theater that the russian authorities are putting on at this point. it s been clear from the get-go that they have a very specific narrative that they want to essentially put out there for everyone to see. and what her recollection of this is actually support what we know from the beginning was that this was a very precise and highly professional assassination that could have occurred so quickly, assassin in this case could have gotten into the vehicle before she knew what happened. goes to show you the level of planning and trade craft involved here. her treatment at this point is very much dependent on what the russian narrative, state media narrative of this is going to be. the message tair trythey re trying to put out there. we ve seen pictures of a car that may have been involved. we heard the president, president putin say that he is going to get the bad guy he s condemned the killing, he s ordered all these investigations and there were multiple cameras apparently on this bridge where the killing happened. are you surprised there isn t a suspect or somebody in custody at this point? no not at all. the russian government s in charge of this and obviously that means they have full control over the information that we re going to be able to see. and really the state media has been giving us a sense, a series of conspiracies and coincidences at the same time. the conspiracy in this case being that some outside entity wants to defame putin essentially, wants to make the russian government look bad and so they did this because to the outside world, the obvious narrative is that somehow this is the fault of somebody at least operating from putin s side of the political spectrum, not necessarily from direct orders from putin but somebody who s a supporter an believes in putin s new russia. this is widely believed from inside of russia from everything we can see. there s the coincidences. for example, some of the cameras may have been turned off for maintenance a the moment this assassination happened. that same night, those same cameras may have been off. now there s reporting they weren t, in fact off, but the russian federal security service may have this information. are we going to get to see it? they re in control of all the cards, all the pieces here and the only thing absolutely certain of at this point is that no one who supports putin s government no one tied to the government had anything to do with this. everything else is still in play except for that theory which i think tells us a lot. you re not buying it? i m not buying that based on the facts we see so far. look at who benefits from this and other coincidences by the way, when nemtsov was supposed to go to the rally and talk more about ukraine, it seems to me to defy any rational belief that for example, isis was a theory they actually put out there over the weekend, i think that one has died down that some outside entity some foreign intelligence service would do this as a false-flag operation, it s an insane conspiracy theory but unfortunately has some credibility to the constituency that putin cares about the most which is russians. i want to play you sound from nemtsov, himself, when he talked to anthony bourdain last year. he foreshadows the danger he, himself, would be facing and talks about a rise in corruption in russia. list b. we re supposed to be dining at another restaurant this evening and when they heard that you would be joining me we were uninvited. should i be concerned about having dinner with you? this is a country of corruption and if you have business, you are in a very unsafe situation. everybody can press you and destroy your business. that s it. this is a system. critics of government, critic critics of putin, bad things seem to happen to them. yes. unfortunately, existing power represent what i say russia of 19th century. not of 21st. so nemtsov obviously knew he was in a risky business. how do you think his death, his murder is going to affect opponents of putin s regime? clearly it s going to have a major chilling effect. the fact that we re probably not going to find out who was actually responsible for this based on previous political assassinations in the country. i think it s very clear memtsov was more than an opposition figure, in a sense represented a different direction russia could have gone in. he was at one point considered to be a successor of boris yeltsin, then it went to putin. it s going to send a clear message irrespective of who pulled the trigger or gave the order to all opposition in russia if you stand in putin s way, you re likely to be crushed, likely to be killed and this is a very dangerous and dark times for that country. buck sexton, we have to leave it there. thank you very much. appreciate it. disaster strikes a sky diver. a medical emergency leaving him helpless and plummeting toward the earth. we ll explain how he was saved next. your daughter has a brilliant idea for her science project. and you could make it happen. right? wrong. because you re not you you re a cancer hospital and your daughter. she s a team of leading researchers. and that brilliant idea is a breakthrough in patient treatment that could save thousands of lives. which means you need a diverse team of advisors helping you. from research data analytics all the way to transformation of clinical care. so you call pwc. the right people to get the extraordinary done. building aircraft, the likes of which the world has never seen. this is what we do. that s the value of performance. northrop grumman. well just watching this next video might give you an adrenaline rush because an australian man launching his fifth sky diving jump, 12,000 feet above australia near perth, mid free fall and has an unexpected health emergency. you ve got to see what happens next. this is not christopher jones first sky dive. he is halfway through his accelerated free fall training meaning he can jump alone and not in tandem but only at the same time as a highly qualified instructor. that instructor sheldon mcfarland. with a camera strapped to his helmet the two take the plunge. at first it all seems normal at around 9,000 feet mcfarland instructs jones to make a left-hand turn. suddenly he turns over on to his back and begins to spin something is wrong. jones who reportedly has epilepsy is having a seizure. he told local media he had been seizure free for years. he spends the next 30 seconds in free fall. completely unconscious. when sky diving a parachute is typically deployed at around 5,000 feet. running out of time mcfarland rockets through the high winds to his student and pulls the rip cord. at 3,000 feet jones regains consciousness, just in time to make a safe landing. although this dramatic rescue took place in november jones just shared it with the world via youtube on sunday and in just 24 hours, the video has received more than four million views. jones describing it as possibly the scariest moment of my life. how amazing is that. joining me to talk more about this is craig stapleton, a skydiving instructor who knows well the dangers of the sport. i know you made headlines in 2013. you survived a skydiving accident of your own where you hit the ground. that s at 30 miles per hour after both your parachutes failed. what was your reaction when you saw this new video? i love it. i love seeing skydiving can have some real success stories that make the news and can make people interested in the sport. it s unbelievable when you watch what s happening that the instructor thought so quickly, knew exactly what to do yet i imagine this doesn t happen all that often, right? no actually it s like lifeguarding. it s something you train for all the time and you very rarely get to do. most student instruction jumps go off pretty unexciting. so it s the thing you train for and hope you never have to do. in addition to your own accident i know you have had a student lose consciousness on a dive and i believe you brought a parachute with you. how are instructors trained to deal with a scenario like this? actually when the instructors are going through training classes learning to be instructors, some of the instructor examiners will actually pretend to be unconscious or almost be combative, uncooperative, so the instructor learns to see signs of students having trouble and to plan ahead for those things. if you have your parachute there with you, explain and show to us if you can how accessible it is for an instructor thinking in the last minute to be able to get to that other individual and essentially do the jump for them pulling the rip cord. right. the rip cord s mounted on the bottom of the parachute so if the student s on their back they can reach around across them. some of the student rigs have extra handles for the instructors to get to that are on the chest. so they just have to be able to get to the student and find the handle and they actually do practice that maneuver while learning to be instructors. okay. i think the question on so many of our minds is there are these reports out of australia that the diver was diagnosed with epilepsy apparently he had had a seizure four years prior and the doctor signed a waiver but is that common? does it matter if people have health conditions? what are the requirements? you need to be somewhat healthy to skydive. it s a very high stress sport. it s somewhat physically demanding and extremely mentally demanding. you have to be able to handle stress and obviously, this person hadn t had enough stress to induce a seizure until he was in the air. craig stapleton, thanks for your time. thank you. coming up at the top of the hour all eyes in washington on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu except one pair of eyes. president obama. he didn t watch the speech today. in fact he says he won t watch the one tomorrow, either. are things a little tense in the west wing? that s next. no matter who you are, if you have type 2 diabetes, you know it can be a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine . what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it s the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that s used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here s how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in . and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it s not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections urinary tract infections changes in urination, high potassium in the blood or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it s time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®. meet the world s newest energy superpower. surprised?

determine whether or not there are actually command and control structures in place that may provide some evidence to substantiate the claim that isil was involved in these attacks. at this point there is no indication that there is an operational link but that is still being investigated by our national security professionals. but there is no doubt that the kind of extremism that is a part of isil is endemic in other places in the country in the region. what we are seeing at least in this case we are seeing extremists try to capitalize on the chaos and instability inside yemen to carry out these acts of violence. we re covering all the angles of the breaking story. nick patton walsh is standing by in beirut. paul crook shank is in new york. rick francona joining us from california. here with me in washington our counterterrorism analyst phil mudd. he sits on the national intelligence council and the board of the national terrorism center. nick let me get the latest information from you, the targets, the victims, what happened? reporter: over 120 dead over 300 injured. hospitals in the yemeni capital are crying out for blood donors to try and assist in treating that wave of wounded. it was during the busiest time of friday during friday prayer when two key shia mosques in the capital of sanaa were attacked chillingly similar to al qaeda, other extremists in the past. a suicide bomber went into the crowds of worshippers in both mosques and then as many rushed in to help another device a suicide bomber and a car bomb tore into those crowds of people trying to rescue the injured. now many deeply concerned this could be the beginning of a new chapter of sectarian violence in yemen. there has been great instability as the shia group, the houthis who were targeted today have swept across the country, taking hold of the capital, ousting an internationally recognized government but they face sunni tribes who oppose them. many concerned that sunni extremists allied with them targeted these mosques today. stand by for a moment. paul crookshank is this just another in a series of wars if you will between shiites and sunnis? it looks very much like this. i think there s a real risk this could plunge yemen into a full bore civil war. there s a lot of similarity to the bombing of the mosque in 2006. when the founder of isis launched that attack in iraq his plan was to provoke the shia into a big retaliation against the sunni and drive the sunni into the arms of isis and al qaeda. i think whoever was responsible in yemen today, whether it was isis or whether it was al qaeda in yemen, i think it s the same strategy provoke more sectarian bloodshed, provoke a civil war, get more sunnis than even already to go into the al qaeda or isis side in yemen. the houthi shiites who took control of a big chunk of yemen, as you know phil they got backing from iran. it looks like yemen potentially could be shaping up as another horrible situation, a civil war like in syria. i think we ve got to look at this in a broader context. we ve got to look at what s happened in pakistan afghanistan, iraq every place where you have sunni extremists rise and you have a significant shia population. we view these in terms of the western lands. is it a threat to washington new york chicago. from a regional perspective you ve got to look at this as a sunni/shia fight. every one of those circumstances, the sunnis on the rise groups like al qaeda and isis are saying, hey, those shia we re going after them. we want them out. rick francona as you know the u.s. embassy was evacuated, all americans got out of yemen several weeks ago. they quickly got out of there. but al qaeda of the arabian peninsula which represents according to u.s. terrorism analysts a major threat to the u.s. homeland they re trying to bomb planes if you will they still have their headquarters there in yemen. what, if anything, is the u.s. able to do in a situation like this now? well our capabilities have been severely degraded by losing the embassy there, losing our forward presence. the administration claims that they still have contacts with some people working in yemen, but it is really really hurt. and the aqap is a threat. they have the intent and the capability to do damage here. remember they put things on airplanes. the printer explosive devices. so they represent a real threat. and i agree with what phil and paul have said this could be a much broader confrontation between sunni and shia and if you believe that iran is behind what s going on in sanaa with the houthis and if you re a gulf arab state, you ve got to be very concerned about what you see happening. you ve got the sunni crescent beirut damascus baghdad, now sanaa sort of falling into this influence of iran. yeah this is a real real awful situation, what s happening in yemen right now. we ll have much more coming up. there s another story we re watching in northern india where at least 30 people are dead after a train derailment 50 others injured when the engine and two passenger cars jumped the tracks after the train missed a stop. onlookers crowded the scene as rescue workers continued to pull survivors from rail car wreckage. the cause of the crash still under investigation right now. up next the latest in tunisia. the government there talking about possible terrorist sleeper cells. we ll go there live. later, prime targets for terror. why militant groups are taking direct aim at international tourists. stay with us. with new angie s list app, you can get projects done in a snap. take a photo of your project or just tell us what you need done and angie s list will find a top rated provider to do the job. start your project for free today. let s go to tunisia right now, a very different celebration. it s the country s independence day but observances there are overshadowed by this week s tragic massacre of tourists. at least 21 of them were killed. the majority of those victims traveled there aboard two cruise ships which docked today in spain. some talked about narrowly escaping the tragedy. you don t realize what happened. you don t know. we got on the ship. you turn the television on. oh tunisia! then you realize that you escaped from it but the other people are not lucky. our phil black is joining us live from tunis right now. most of the victims were europeans, a few asians. tell us about the departure of the survivors and the status of the victims right now, those who survived but remain in hospitals. reporter: wolf we ve been inside some of the hospitals here in tunis and seen how hard how frantically medical and administrative staff are working to treat the wounded. they were initially inundated. they re working through them treating them and getting them out the door as fast as they can and working with local diplomatic stuff to to get them on flights back to their homeland as quickly as possible. that process is going and largely depends on how well a lot of these patients are. the other process that are under way are the bodies those that didn t survive the attack. in the morgue earlier today we were told there are still some 15 bodies being held there some of which still haven t been identified. and again, it is a matter of the medical staff at these hospitals, at the morgue working with local diplomatic missions to identify them and get them home on specially organized flights. they hope to have all of this done in the next few days. it s a big job, but it has been somewhat slow going in these initial days after the attack wolf. the tunisian government as you know phil said the killers trained next door in libya. a government official even mentioned what was described as sleeper cells inside tunisia. are there fears now that this was potentially just a start of a larger campaign against tunisia s democratically elected government? reporter: very much so. the existence of jihadi cells here in tunisia, well that is a known element, a known threat. it has been identified for some time. what this is is a combination potentially of that threat with the ongoing instability next door in libya. the government says the two gunmen crossed into libya, were trained in a camp near benghazi. the concern here is isis because that s territory that isis is known to have camps. the idea that elements from isis could continue to threaten the political stability of this country in an ongoing way is very much a concern, wolf. phil black, stay safe over there. up next targeting tourists. we ll take a closer look at past attacks. why museums and monuments have become terror targets. stay with us. you re driving along, having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pick-up truck slams into your brand new car. one second it wasn t there and the next second. boom! you ve had your first accident. now you have to make your first claim. so you talk to your insurance company and. boom! you re blindsided for a second time. they won t give you enough money to replace your brand new car. don t those people know you re already shaken up?

this isn t about tourists or museums, it s about money. you go back to earlier what we were talking about, mid- 90s, one of the predecessors to al qaeda attacks luxor, egypt, the location of major tourist attractions and a major turn for radicals in egypt. 20 years later the successors to al qaeda go after tourists in tunisia. the reason is because the money they bring in underpins the government. there is one downside. that is not just money that affects the government s ability to keep operating, it is money that gives jobs to local people. if isis wants to recruit tunisians tunisians, it s not a great method in my view to undertake operations that limit their ability to make money off tourists. paul if isis did in fact undertake this massacre at the museum in tunis this week and killed all these europeans and a few asians touring that museum over there, do they really think that s going to strengthen them propagandawise get more recruits if innocent people are slaughtered like this? i think phil is absolutely right, there is a potential backlash here that could happen in somewhere like tunisia. we actually saw that in egypt after the luxor massacre in 97. that led to the defeat of jihadist groups in egypt pretty much at the time. the egyptian people really turned against them. we saw similar backlash in indonesia following the bali bombings. of course isis is playing to a hard line energized base which love these kind of attacks which target westerners which target sort of the secular cultural preislamic heritage as well. up to 15% of people in tunisia employment link the tourism sector so as phil was saying this could really undermine the economy and lead to more economic problems lead to more grievances and more radicalization. all of that plays in isis hands. do you think, rick francona that international tourist attractions should beef up security right now, wherever they are? well they have to because tourist sites represent a really lucrative target for isis because they re usually not well defended. they are frequented by westerners and that tends to be the target of these groups. you know tourism is a fragile industry. any bad publicity immediately you can go elsewhere. there are a lot of places to visit, so if there s danger in tunisia, you ll go somewhere else. egypt has not recovered from the violence it experienced in the 90s and the early part of the 2000s, so their tour industry is really in bad shape now. what s going to happen the tunisian tour industry. we ve already seen cruise lines going for alternate locations. the stock market took a hit. it s going to be a real problem economically for the tunisians and that s one of the effects that isis al qaeda, these groups want to have. and i think paul and phil are both exactly right, this does drive recruitment. we thought that the emulation of that jordanian pilot was going to somehow affect their recruitment and it had the opposite effect. it really pumped up their numbers. so these targets are very effective for them. it s hard to believe that phil that these kinds of activities do pump up numbers. more people volunteer to go fight with people in the aftermath of a horrific slaughter like this or the burning of that jordanian pilot that rick just spoke about. that s right. you ve got to remember in the view of the adversary, that is in the view of isis or its predecessors al qaeda, this is viewed as a bumper sticker. this is an advertisement to say if you re on the extreme fringe of islam in this battle for the soul of islam, there s only one place to join. it s not al qaeda or some other fringe group, it s the guys who operate in yemen, syria, et cetera. the problem is they can t manage to transition from the fringes to the heart of the islamic world and that is why this attack at the heart of the tunisian economy is so significant. i think they ll have a hard time persuading tunisian people beyond the fringe to say, hey, this is a good idea. i ve just lost my job but let me go join the people who forced me to lose that job. and it s not just tourists international tourists who are being targeted not just christians or jews it s fellow muslims. look what happened today at those mosques in sanaa, yemen, where several dozens and dozens of fellow muslims, albeit sunni muslims as opposed to shiite muslims, but they re still fellow muslims and most of the victims of these terror groups are in fact muslim. that s absolutely right. the majority of victims in terrorist attacks over the last couple of decades have definitely been muslims. of course from isis and al qaeda s point of view they don t think the shia are muslims. they think they re heretics that need to be killed so they re deliberately going after the shia. this is a very deliberate calculated attack in yemen to try to plunge the country into civil war. but i think, you know the vast majority of muslims around the world find this absolutely horrific. the trouble is this radical fringe. inside tunisia, they re up to 40,000 followers, for example, of a pro-jihadi movement. that s a very large number. it s still the fringe very large minority but you see those people going to syria and iraq to libya to get training going over to algeria to join up with terror groups. so that s the problem. the small radical fringe with tens of thousands across the arab world. all right, paul rick phil thanks very much. one final note the australian prime minister was one of the first customers for the reopening of the cafe in sydney that was the target of a gunman in december who took 17 people hostage. they remained there for 16 hours until police stormed the building. three people including the gunman were killed. plaques honoring the two victims now hang on the walls of the cafe. we just received a letter sent to hillary clinton s attorney about her private e-mails. we ll have that a lot more news coming up next. missi of providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere. if you look at a khan academy video, they can cover everything from basic arithmetic to calculus, trigonometry, finance. you can really just get what you need at your own pace. and so, bank of america came and reached out to us and said we are really interested in making sure that everyone really understands personal finance. and we re like well, we re already doing that. and so it was kind of a perfect match. there s nothing more romantic than a spontaneous moment. so why pause to take a pill?

[ male announcer ] go long™. welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world, i m wolf blitzer reporting from washington. we have some news that we re ready to break here on cnn regarding the controversy over hillary clinton s use of private e private e-mail server. the house committee has issued an official request to the former secretary. chris, you ve got the news to report. what have you learned? what we ve learned is that trey gow kchltdy has sent hillary clinton s lawyer asking that that server be turned over to the independent inspector general for the state department. i have the letter and he says i m asking secretary clinton to relinquish her server to a neutral, detached and independent third party such as the inspector general for the state department for review and an independent accounting of any records contained on the server. so what they re trying to do here wolf is make sure that what hillary clinton has turned over to the state department remember she s turned over about 55,000 pages of e-mails to the state department they want somebody to look at that e-mail server where she did her official business and determine whether or not she s turned over everything that is official or whether she s held things back. she s suggested during those four years on that server 62,000 e-mails, half of them about 31,000 have been handed over to the state department. that translates into 55,000 actual pages, copies of what she says was official government-related business. the other half she suggests she deleted all of that it may not be on the server any longer. she has suggested that but what the republicans want to see, they want to see what exactly is on that server. if she was doing government business on that server somebody other than hillary clinton should be able to have a look at it. they have given her until april 3rd to respond to this request. of course republicans like chairman gowdy have said for a week or so that she should do it. now they re formally asking her to do it and indicating if she doesn t do it the full house of representatives might take up this issue and that could include the house voting to subpoena that server. remember chairman gowdy can t as a committee chair subpoena the server only get e-mails regarding benghazi so this could become a bigger issue, depending on how secretary clinton responds to the request. i don t think he should hold his breath waiting for that server because she had that server will be private, it s not going to be made public. thanks for breaking the news. he invited the israeli prime minister to washington. now house speaker john boehner is planning a trip to jerusalem. will his visit deepen the partisan divide when it comes to israel? also coming up crucial issues and critical end of the month deadline. the iran nuclear talks are apparently on hold right now. an update on the progress and the sticking points is coming up next. the real question that needs to be asked is what is it that we can do that is impactful? what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that s what i d like to do. will you help us find a house for you and your brother? woooooah you re not just looking for a house. you re looking for a place for your life to happen. zillow the nuclear talks with iran went into recess today, but the clock is ticking toward a crucial end of the month deadline. the secretary of state john kerry says they ll return to the negotiating table next week. meanwhile president obama and iran s foreign minister took to social media to push for progress. the foreign minister tweeted, and i m quoting, it s high time for the u.s. and its allies to choose pressure or agreement. and president obama released a youtube message to the iranian people. the days and weeks ahead will be critical. our negotiations have made progress but gaps remain. and there are people in both our countries and beyond who oppose a diplomatic resolution. my message to you, the people of iran is that together we have to speak up for the future we seek. joining us now for some perspective on these talks, dean of the school of advanced international studies here in washington at johns hopkins university. thanks very much for coming in. a video like this directly addressing the people of iran by the president of the united states he can post it on youtube, they can put it out, but will people in iran actually be able to see this? i think a segment of them will and some of them will find a way to download it and share it as a file on cell phones and smartphones and the like. i think people will see it and read reports of it by people who have seen it. let s say a lot of people in iran actually get to hear the president of the united states say accept the deal a good deal forget about your nuclear weapons program. iran can really gain economically socially internationally, if it makes a good deal. i think it does help. public diplomacy is important. the fact that he s sending this message on iran s new year which is today, is important. but also there s always been a question as to how much is he engaged in this. how much does this have his support. i think this will convey to the iranian people that the president wants this deal a deal that s beneficial to the iranian people and that will put some pressure on the iranian leaders. if the president says it it has a lot more clout in iran. i think because the iranian leaders have said all along it s not clear whether the president will fully back this deal. and if, say, with the pressure that we saw from prime minister netanyahu and congress and sort of the pressure that exists on this deal is he willing to stand up and defend it. so something like this message today gives them the sense that yes, he s willing to come in support of this deal. so there s a pause right now, but i assume in the coming days everyone will get back the foreign minister secretary of state kerry will go back to switzerland and resume negotiations. they have a march 31st deadline for at least a framework. deal or no deal? i think they re very close. i think the biggest part of the disagreement is over iran s insistence that the majority of sanctions should be lifted something that s not easy to do. i think also both sides know that they have a tough job dealing with the hard liners or critiques or conservatives and on this side republicans at home. therefore, they re trying to get the best the best deal on the table that would make selling it at home easier. and that makes it very tricky. the dean of the school of international studies the johns hopkins university. full disclosure i m a graduate of that school. will the reversal help repair the rift serious rift with the obama administration? and claims from the u.s. senate floor that racism is delaying a confirmation vote on a new u.s. attorney general. a senior republican issues an angry response to that accusation. people with type 2 diabetes come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar ask your doctor about farxiga. it s a different kind of medicine that works by removing some sugar from your body. along with diet and exercise farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. with one pill a day, farxiga helps lower your a1c. and, although it s not a weight-loss or blood-pressure drug farxiga may help you lose weight and may even lower blood pressure when used with certain diabetes medicines. do not take if allergic to farxiga or its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you have any of these symptoms stop taking farxiga and seek medical help right away. do not take farxiga if you have severe kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have bladder cancer. tell your doctor right away if you have blood or red color in your urine or pain while you urinate. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast infections in women and men, low blood sugar, kidney problems, and increased bad cholesterol. common side effects include urinary tract infections changes in urination and runny nose. do the walk of life yeah, you do the walk of life need to lower your blood sugar?

reporter: well we re hearing that it will be sometime in the next two weeks, probably later in the next two weeks. speaker of the house john boehner will come here, and it s very much benjamin netanyahu saying his strongest allies in congress are republicans behind speaker of the house john boehner. perhaps it s even one more shot between the back and forth we ve seen between president barack obama and benjamin netanyahu which effectively started when boehner invited netanyahu to speak before congress. the relationship you ve studied this for a long time it s about as strained as i ve ever seen it but give me your analysis. there s no question both in personality and policies this is the worst. it s been a nauponstop soap opera for at least five years. how do they fix it? i m not sure they can fix it. the truth is i don t know where it goes. the administration can talk tough but what are they going to do sanction the israelis? support the palestinian at the international criminal court? they may be less solicitous of defending israeli positions abroad in an international forum, i can see them go but they weren t moving on the israeli-palestinian issue. they ll have to figure out how to work with the israelis as hard as that s going to be. what are they saying over there about the flip-flop from the prime minister. the day before the election he says there won t be a palestinian state on his watch. that was seen as a are you pudrepudiation of the two-state solution. but yesterday he says he never supported a one-state solution he supports a two-state solution. what s the reaction over there to this apparent about-face? reporter: well, his critics here have said that he s playing politics politics. he needed support from right-wing supporters. we saw him clearly move in that direction in the days before the election and the culmination was him saying there bill be no two-state solution there will be no palestinian state if benjamin netanyahu is the prime minister. then just after he wins a pretty resounding victory he does an about-face and said i never said i don t support a two-state solution. so his critics have said he s playing politics. meanwhile the palestinians have said and we spoke with the chief palestinian negotiator he believes the preelection comments that netanyahu never supported a two-state solution and as such they ll keep pushing on the international forum for international recognition instead of through negotiations. it seems like white house officials agree with the chief palestinian negotiator aaron, because the white house is saying publicly as a result of what the prime minister said just before the election the u.s. is now going to reassess its entire relationship not only with israel the peace process and everything else. the word reassess is a strong word. you remember the last time that happened wolf in 1975. kissinger summoned all our ambassadors back and called for a reassessment. kissinger admitted later it was political theater, but the truth is it worked. here i m not so sure it s going to work because there s no agreement right now. they re not close. and the truth is you know as well as i there are productive fights with the israelis that can actually accomplish things and unproductive ones. i m afraid right now we are in the middle of an unproductive fight. you think the u.s. the obama administration is really going to for example, allow anti-israeli resolutions to be passed by the u.n. security council, that that traditional u.s. veto won t happen? if they abstained on a u.n. resolution on settlements, would it stun me and shock me? no. would they vote to recognize a state of palestine? no. would they support the palestinian bid at the icc on war crimes? no. but what they might do is support the u.n. security council resolution to lay out the elements of what constitutes a solution to the israeli-palestinian conflict if they can t get one on the ground in 20 months. and let s be clear, they re not going to get one in the next 20 months. you think they would also potentially be a reduction in u.s. economic and military assistance. israel a slowdown in military hardware stuff like that? in my judgment almost inconceivable. this administration has a tendency to talk tough, very tough rhetoric but when it comes to imposing actual cost and consequences they re not very tough. and one final question oren to you over there in jerusalem. do israelis in general, and you ve been there for a while, do they understand how strained the u.s./israeli relationship has become over these past several weeks? reporter: i think many of them do. those that are critical of that relationship and critical of netanyahu s decisions generally fall on the left. those who have faith that netanyahu is strong enough to keep that relationship as it neetds needs to be they support netanyahu in what he s done over the past few weeks, regardless of how strained it has gotten. we ll see if the prime minister and the president, if they can get their act together and try to fix it. we ll see what happens, if that s possible. thanks very much guys appreciate it. still ahead, several lawmakers here in washington are injecting race into the conversation as they wait for the confirmation vote on the attorney general nominee, loretta lynch. y to y on its own. so let s do something about it. premarin vaginal cream can help it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable. premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause and moderate-to-severe painful intercourse caused by these changes. don t use it if you ve had unusual bleeding breast or uterine cancer blood clots, liver problems, stroke or heart attack, are allergic to any of its ingredients or think you re pregnant. side effects may include headache pelvic pain, breast pain vaginal bleeding and vaginitis. estrogens may increase your chances of getting cancer of the uterus, strokes, blood clots or dementia so use it for the shortest time based on goals and risks. estrogen should not be used to prevent heart disease heart attack, stroke or dementia. ask your doctor about premarin vaginal cream. aaron schock who use downton abbey for his office decor is under investigation. sources in washington familiar with the matter say fbi and professional prosecutors in illinois are investigating whether schock broke the law in accounting for campaign expenses. he announced he would resign after allegations he had improperly accounted for travel and other contributions from donors. several are declaring racism in the delayed approval of loretta lynch. she would become the first african-american woman to serve as attorney general of the united states. she made it through committee but her vote to come up for full confirmation by the entire senate has been delayed after a senate vote. republicans say they want it delayed until after a senate vote on human sex trafficking. democrats are holding up that vote after a provision was included limiting abortion funding but on the senate floor wednesday, senator dick durbin of illinois implied the vote delay was racially motivated. comments echoed by several other democrats. loretta lynch, the first african-american woman nominated to be attorney general is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the senate calendar. that s unfair. it s unjust. it s beneath the decorum and dignity of the united states senate. republican senator john mccain quickly took to the senate flooring aningly angrily firing back at the comments. i would say to the senator of the illinois for him to come to this floor and use that imagery and suggest that racist tactics are being employed to delay ms. lynch s confirmation vote. such inflammatory rhetoric has no place in this body and serves no purpose other than to further divide us. with us to discuss what s going on gloria borger and athena jones. did he reply to that? he did reply. he didn t apologize, which is what senator mccain wanted. i can tell you this race talk is not new. you have folks who for years even before the lynch nomination before the president nominated lynch who believed on the hill and off the hill that race has something to do with the way that the other party, the republican party, has treated president obama, treated eric holder and is now treating loretta lynch. this isn t new but certainly it hasn t so far been helpful in moving the ball forward. all it s done is really ramp up the heat. i think this is a case of political tactics that have gone wrong and that are creating a real mess. it is a real mess. this woman has been waiting a long time for confirmation after a distinguished career as the u.s. attorney in new york. she s had a distinguished career. she got approved on the senate judiciary committee on a bipartisan vote. there were three republicans. athena was there. who voted for her. she s widely well regarded. today rudy giuliani who is no fan of president obama as you know accused obama of not loving his country came out and said today that loretta lynch is not only an acceptable appointment but i find her to be an extraordinary appointment. if they get this to the floor i think the odds are it would be close, right, that she would be confirmed. she would be confirmed but rudy giuliani and others want the senate to have a big vote confirming her. that doesn t look likely. she s not even scheduled for a vote. a lot of republicans say they ll vote against her because she supported president obama s unilateral executive actions on immigration reform. it s shocking that somebody who was nominated by the president of the united states would actually support the president. what did they expect she was going to do? go before the senate judiciary committee and say actually i think what the president did was illegal? i doubt it. they had to know that was what she was going to say. i think this parliamentary maneuvering is what the american public hates about the congress. if you want to vote and oppose loretta lynch, go to the floor and tell the american public why you are opposing her whether it s because of immigration or something else. go to the floor and have a debate. push a button. vote. let the american people decide whether they think you did the right thing or the wrong thing. most republicans believe the president is in violation of the constitution with that executive order. they say they don t want they have backing now of federal judge in texas. it s now gone before a federal appeals court. it s being adjudicated even as we speak. they say this is a matter of principle. they believe the president is breaking the law by imposing these kinds of actions and if she supports that there s no way they can vote to confirm her. she would win confirmation if they went ahead and held the vote today. there are three republicans who voted for her out of the senate judiciary committee. there s another republican who said that she is a supporter. there will be enough support to get her nomination through under the new rules where they just need a basic majority. immigration issue is an issue that s been brought up of course. you have even rudy giuliani saying of course the president is going to pick someone that s going to agree with him. you had the former fbi director who was also on the call today saying that the senate can walk and chew gum at the same time. they can do two things at once. consider legislation on human trafficking bill that s part of the holdup and vote on her confirmation. it s ridiculous that you have to hold up one because of something else. these are games. it s games. this is the attorney general of the united states. you want to have one or not? she needs 50 votes to be confirmed because the vice president, joe biden, would then break a tie. he s the democrat. there are 46 democrats all of whom who will vote for her. she needs four republicans. three of whom voted in the senate. susan collins would be the 50th. the question is will there be a vote? thank you very much for all of that. finally, it s not something you see often in washington republicans and democrats in the house and senate actually agreeing on something and in this case they agreed on a deal to fix the reimbursement rate for doctors who treat medicare patients. the deal was struck by john boehner and nancy pelosi. a little bipartisan cooperation. that s it for me. i ll be back at 5:00 eastern in the situation room. for our international viewers, news center is next. for our american viewers, nous newsroom with brooke baldwin starts right now. thank you for watching cnn on this friday. i have to begin this hour with the deadly news of a terror attack. first in tunisia we ve been talking about the last couple days and now i need to tell you about suicide bombings in yemen and for the second time this week isis is claiming responsibility. while we cannot confirm the group s claim, just the shear brutality of today s attacks bear the hallmarks of isis. this happened in sanaa. turbulent capital of yemen. suicide bombers carrying out coordinated attacks on not just one but two shiite
ravine after a terrible car crash. 18 month old lily survives and her entire rescue is caught right there on camera. you re live in the cnn newsroom. hello and thanks so much for joining me. i m fredricka witfield. we start with a state of emergency declared in the south pacific after tropical cyclone pam with the power of a category 5 hurricane struck the island chain nation of vanuatu. the fourth most powerful storm ever to make landfall took direct aim op the capital city of port vila. at least six people are confirmed dead. 20 others injured. and there are fears the death toll just could rise. wind gusts up to 200 miles per hour tore houses apart and knocked down trees. the australian red cross says shelter, food and water are urgently needed and an official from world vision it looks like a bomb. joining us is unicef acting chief parker. how bad is it in your assessment? i ve seen many emergencies, fredricka, and many cyclones, typhoon typhoons. this is as bad as any. certainly the situation here is very grim. i would estimate that at least 90%, if not more of all housing and buildings in port vila have been heavily affected. so did people have shelter, generally? were there others who tried to ride it out wherever they were? they knew the storm was coming right? yes. the national disaster management office has been communicating or was communicating for a full week prior to the arrival of pam, as it was progressing south from the salomon islands, communicateing on radio and others ways so the population was prepared. shelters most people were staying at home, trying to ride it out. in reality many houses just were not built for this level of destruction. even the mobile the cell towers for relaying mobile are only rated officially for category 3. they cannot stand category 5. there s only one left in the country. i mentioned that urgently needed are food and water and medical supplies. if your view how many more days can people go before this assistance comes from other nations? for port vila itself people are relatively fortunate in the sense that there are some stocks, the private sector has been very supportive of the community, but the news out of port vila is just a wall of silence at the moment with communications down there s no idea of the impact damage to the north nor is there real clear view as to what has happened to the islands to the south where pam actually only left vanuatu landfall about 5:30 6:00 this afternoon. all right. unicef acting chief andrew parker thank you so much. i know you a lot on your plate as you try to assist people there as best you can. appreciate it. let s bring in ivan cabrera. ivan pam, where is it heading now? it s going to be heading to new zealand. the gentleman you spoke with and the people able to talk with you and me right now, are in the least affected areas. there are people right now that i must imagine are in much rougher shape. here s hawaii. take you to where we re talking about in the south pacific. the island chain of vanuatu. made up of several islands. vila the capital city. there is australia. the forecast in a second as far as where it s headed. i want to take you to the current stats here from tropical cyclone pam. when we talk about a tropical cyclone that s what we call in this part of the world would still be the equivalent of a category 4 hurricane. as it made landfall it was a cat 5. the winds at 150 miles an hour. but it is safely now moving away from the islands here. the damage is done and at this point we re going to be tracking this as a big rainmaker and there will be some gusty winds backing into the northern side the north island of new zealand that would happen at about 48 hours. we ll track that for you in the next few days here. i don t think it s going to be anywhere near what they had in vanuatu which, of course there, this was a historic storm. they had never seen anything like it. we never approached anything like a category 5 storm making landfall in vanuatu and it did and strongest landfall globally since typhoon haiyan which was back in the philippines a couple years ago. it is going to take a while before we realize the essentially the kalamty that is likely unfolding in those islands. thank you so much. we ll check back with you later on. here s an amazing twist to this story. cnn s bill weier host of the wonder list actually filmed his premier if you recall in vanuatu. it focused on the area s beauty and the remoteness but in what now seems a premonition, one resident expressed fears about rising waters on the island nation and how much devastation that would potentially cause and now this vanuatu being hit by the cyclone pam. bill weier joining us now from new york. so bill you know while you were there, you know, how in your estimation would people there be able to handle this kind of devastation? they already expressed concern about rising water but this is something very different? it absolutely is fred. it casts the whole hour we did there in a completely different light. what drew me to the place was the romance, the paras dice the sun kissed sugar sand beaches the fish all they could eat and all of that but very different when you think about riding out a category 5 storm in essentially a thatched hut. this is up in molta lava in the north. folks trying embrace tourism. give you a sense of where they re starting from they just got their first cement floor at the place we stayed. the owner poured all of his savings into it not realizing most westerners don t want to see concrete on vacation. told him to put sand over it. he was asking me how he could get a toilet paper holder. if he got that for his new bathroom he would get a recommendation for tourists to come to his bunga loo. the most basic level of development for the folks who had to ride out these insane winds in what you re seeing there, thatch sided, open sided huts. and that s in the northern portion you mentioned and we understand from ivan telling us it s the southern islands that got hit particularly hard. do you suppose that, you know the way of life is very similar? did you get a chance to see the islands or is there a big difference between, you know, existence north to south? even the places we hung out in the south, tanna, the island where the prime minister is actually from we spent some time in the village where people live like it is 100 b.c. grass skirts in the woods, ban yon tree houses and, you know, they re perfectly content. they know what the modern world has to offer, but, you know, we re so used to in the west go to an interior room get in the bathtub. there are no interior rooms much less bathtubs. these are hearty folks, survived in this part of the world and they would tell stories about the big hurricane i think in 1938 that split up different communities and shaped that society, and you now they re going to be talking about this one forever. the biggest ever. as one of the previous guests said what s so hard is all those cell towers the cell service, i was shocked to see how good it was, not to be able it to communicate much less get to these places and see how the folks survived. extraordinary view. thanks so much for joinings us. your perspective and what we believe to be these people being challenged like never before on being resourceful. host of the wonder list which airs sunday nights at 10:00 this week he s headed to greece. still ahead, new leads into who may have shot two officers in ferguson, missouri. ryan young is there. police officers still searching for whoever shot the two officers. those officers have been released from the hospital. we ll have the story coming up in a live report. i bring the gift of the name your price tool to help you find a price that fits your budget. uh-oh. the name your price tool. she s not to be trusted. kill her. flo: it will save you money! the name your price tool isn t witchcraft! and i didn t turn your daughter into a rooster. she just looks like that. burn the witch! the name your price tool a dangerously progressive idea. meet the world s newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world s number one natural gas producer. and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue. and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it s red, white and blue. log on to learn more. police are chasing several new leads in ferguson, missouri for the suspect who shot two officers and also considering increasing the current $10,000 reward. it s been more than two days since those two officers were shot and wounded. at the end of a protest against the ferguson police department. ryan young is in ferguson for us now. how are they going about trying to find suspects? good morning. if you look behind me all quiet outside the police department, obviously, where the demonstration was happening when the shots were fired. they are still trying to find two people of interest they have identified and haven t shared with the media who those people are. there s been conversation about where the gunfire may have started, people saying they heard the muzzle flashes but people heard that video and watched the video of the bullets whizzing by. a very dangerous situation. law enforcement has been getting help from the community but they desperately want more phone calls. that s why that $10,000 reward is so important. in fact the police chief was talking about the situation very recently. this is really an ambush is what it is. i mean you can t see it coming you don t understand that it s going to happen and you re basically defenseless from the fact that it is happening to you at the time. and that is something that is very difficult to guard against when you a group of officers standing in a large group and then, you know you have gunfire, gunfire directed at them. it s a tragedy either way. it undermines everything that everybody is trying to do in this. it really does. i won t walk away from the fact that it is no the beyond the rel not beyond the realm of possibility having all the officers standing together and the fact that two of those officers were hit, that these officers weren t targeted. and some strong language being used about whoever opened fire on the two officers. in fact the attorney general called who did this, punks. some very strong language. i can tell you a lot of work to find whoever did this. it still continues and they re hoping like once i said before more tips will come in. ryan young, thank so much, from ferguson. still ahead iraqi forces are close to retaking a key city from isis. we ll get the latest and also find out why this is such a strategic battle. meet the world s newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world s number one natural gas producer. and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue. and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it s red, white and blue. log on to learn more. iraqi joint forces are taking a pause in their attempt to take back the strategic city of tikrit. they ve recaptured about 75% of the city. reuters is reporting they have now halted their offensive for a second day while they wait for reinforcements. retaking tikrit is an important step for the iraqi government. isis has occupied the city since june of last year. it s close proximity to baghdad and also seen as a threat to iraq security. so what can we expect next in the fight against isis. cnn military analyst major general james spider marks in phoenix for us. good to see you. fewer than 200 isis fighters are holding out in the last part of the city. why is the fight for tikrit so important for isis? it s clear why it s important for iraq to hold on to it but why isis some. important for isis primarily because this is the first real i would say, robust engagement that s taking place between the iraqi security forces and isis. this is an opportunity for isis to stand up and if they can withhold tikrit or if they can cause some damage to isf, the iraqi security forces or if they can hold out on to a certain portion and remain in place and cause the iraqi security forces to galvanize additional forces this is a big win for isis big propaganda plot. are there any marked improvements? we ve been talking about how they really have been upstaged by the ability and power of isis so have things changed in any way and if so why? well there are some results on the ground obviously, in tikrit, where isf is being successful but keep in mind fred that what the iraqi forces have alongside them right now, are shia militia and they are very and qods force and the iraqi core without getting into all these players. you have iranian influence in iraq that is significant and tactically available and making itself very, very successful in terms of these tactical engagements against isis. this is a big deal for tehran. they are exercising some very significant influence in this battle in tikrit. tactically that s good. the united states and tehran, very ironically share the same interests here in that we want isis to be destroyed. the challenge going forward strategically, obviously iran has the upper hand in terms of influencing activities on the ground. our advisors the united states presence certainly is robust and vigorous across the board, but we don t have troops on the ground that can really support the iraqi forces. that s the issue right now. when it s any port in a storm, the iraqi forces need help iranian are there, they re getting it. interesting that there would be this u.s. and iran, you know kind of parallel two strategic interests, but as it pertains to helping coordinate the joint iraqi forces would that put iran or the u.s. in the same company, you know, talking together for this military strategy or are those iraqi forces just independently receiving instructions and guidance and moving based on the iranian and u.s. influence? yeah. i would think very simply, iranian forces are saddling up next to the iraqi forces on the ground. they are providing tactical support, irrespective of the coordination details that iraq has very closely, very trusted, very deep with central command, the united states central command, which has the overall responsibility there in iraq. so iran is there and they re providing help at the tactical level. that s kind of how it s working right now. fascinating. spider marks thanks so much. good to see you. thank you. still ahead, new questions about an incident at the white house that put two secret service agents under investigation. cnn s erin mcpike is at the white house for us. we re learning that initial reports about this incident may have been overblown. i ll have more on that after the break. welcome back. thank you. it s not home. but with every well considered detail, it becomes one step closer. no wonder more people choose delta than any other airline. the real question that needs to be asked is what is it that we can do that is impactful? what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that s what i d like to do. checking your credit score is for chumps. i have great credit. how do you know? duh. you know those change, right? tattoos don t change. try credit karma. it s free and you can see what your score is right now. aren t you a little bit curious? i just got my free credit score! credit karma. really free credit scores. really free. i have got to update my ink. happening right now in the newsroom the questions about the circumstances surrounding two secret service agents under investigation. were they allegedly driving drunk on white house property? and the sigma alpha epsilon fraternity at the university of oklahoma is fighting back and lawyering up. the high-profile attorney for the disbanded sae chapter says he s not ruling out suing the school. plus let s go. come on. come on. rescuing baby lily. not only will you get to watch the incredible rescue unfold but there s a mystery here as first responders tell a bizarre story of hearing cries for help but now wonder weres those cries comeing from the baby? the newsroom continues right now. good morning again, everyone. thanks for joining me. i m fredricka whitfield. cnn has learned some of the details surrounding the latest secret service scandal are being questioned. law enforcement continues to investigate what happened at the white house involving two agents. sources tell cnn allegations about drinking and driving, may not be true. joe clancy the new head of the secret service, is expected to appear on capitol hill next week to discuss all of this. ear rip mcpike joining me from the white house. is the direction of this investigation changing? i wouldn t say it is changing. there is an investigation. the department of homeland security is investigating, also there will be some talk about this on capitol hill on monday and tuesday, but our latest reporting does contradict or at least diverge from some of the original details. and what we know is that there were two senior secret service agents who were at a retirement party for one of the colleagues on march 4th at a bar in chinatown about 7 blocks due east of the white house. at the end of the evening the two agents drove in a government car back tots white house, where there was some suspicious activity going on. there had been a bomb threat and that was being investigated. so the two agents drove up to the barricade. the car nudged an orange barrel at the time. but as far as we know from what we re hearing from sources now, there was no collision, no damage no sort of confrontation and it may be that there was never even a suggestion that a sobriety test needed to happen. those two agents then went home. they have been reassigned in new roles in the secret service. but then here s where the trouble is. joe clancy who is the director of secret service was told about this five days later and that is what some are questioning. it s calling into question some credibility. has he really changed the culture of the secret service. and he will be testifying on capitol hill in private and public briefings on monday and tuesday. jason chaffetz who shares the house oversight committee spoke to cnn about this and here s what he had to say. this is a big moment for director clancy. he has the opportunity to help clean this up. how he does it the manner in which he does it i think he needs to send a signal that there s going to be a new age of accountability and that means communicating at the very top right away. reporter: and fred we should also point out that the only thing we have heard publicly from the secret service so far is that there is an active investigation under way over this issue. they have not put out any details yet about what they know of this incident. all right. erin mcpike, keep us posted from the white house. so is this more of the same for the secret service? is there a few problem here? joining me from los angeles is former secret service agent anthony chappa and also is with the office of professional responsibility for the u.s. secret service. anthony good to see you. so all of this sounds really strange, doesn t it? and does it seem like a case that s overblown or does this smell of a cover-up? well fredricka, let me say that i represent myself and i m not a spokesman for the secret service, but the situation is one that it never is what it appears on its face. everything in my 25 years needs to be investigated and that s what s going on today. so that director chancey can inform those what happened. what is sad is that we re focused on the allegations, the agents in question you know, still have their rights prior due process, to explain what happened. i guess what is sad is that we re not focusing on the bravery of the uniform division officers that responded to that suspicious package and how they set up a net of communication and shared with all the ajoining police jurisdictions and one officer tried to apprehend the individual and stop the vehicle and ended up getting assaulted by the car and then the womans escaped and the agents and officers responded capturing the person finding that the device was a hoax device and having to charge her for assault on the officer. that s what affects a lot of us today. and those and what you spelled out does seem to be the business as usual, the expectation of the courage of secret service when tasked as they did carry out there, but what is unusual is yet another potential incident that certain li certainly kind of scars the image if not wounds the image of secret service. this investigation along with string of things that have happened in recent years from the prostitution scandal in colombia the breach in atlanta, on the elevator with the president, and the armed man who did make it too the white house, does all of this say to you that this really is the business of usual for the secret service or there is a problem, there are gaping holes and it does jeopardize the sanctity of what the u.s. secret service has always reptsds? i think this incident alone and many others that are very positive to say that here was a situation where two supervisors, you know had a focus of duty that even though they were off duty they could hear the situation was happening, felt that they needed to respond. and had they gone out for a sandwich and had a diet coke should they have responded absolutely. the fact that it s alleged they may have had attended an event and had a beer that has to be investigated. they went and the fact that the supervisors and officers felt the leadership was willing to listen to them and hear that there was a situation that needed to be investigated at the highest levels i think that speaks volumes of the new leadership and ability to report these things because director clancy has that reputation. he s willing to talk to the newest employee to the most senior employee. if you have an idea or concept or new solution he wants to hear it and he will put it in effect. anthony choppa thank you for your expertise. thank you very much. all right. words or actions, what defines racism? is it singing a song like the fraternity members at the university of oklahoma are in trouble for? many say they re not guilty of racism. even though they may have been singing it. and others disagree. what do you think? right after this. there s a gap out there. that s keeping you from the healthcare you deserve. at humana, we believe the gap will close when healthcare gets simpler. when frustration and paperwork decrease. when grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. so let s do it. let s simplify healthcare. let s close the gap between people and care. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me and you re talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic. this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. talk to your doctor and visit humira.com this is humira at work is . once again this week a story about people who are using offensive, derogatory racist language and then soon to follow apologies or explan fashions saying it wasn t racists but a mistake. quote/unquote, wrong and reckless. this week s students with the sigma alpha epsilon or sae fraternity led and took part in a racist chant. two of the students have been expelled by the university by the oklahoma university and friends and family say the young men shouldn t be labeled racists. that video does not represent his core personality. unfortunately as things are, that might define him for a while but it does not define him personally. parker rice is a charismatic, good person with a good soul and spirit that i feel truly did not believe in or did to the truly understand what he was saying. 19-year-old parker rice seen in the video, helping to lead the chant song released his own statement apologizing and saying, quote, i know everyone wants to know why or how this happened. i admit it likely was fueled by alcohol consumed at the house before the bus trip but that s not an excuse. yes, the song was taught to us but that, too, doesn t work as an explanation, end quote. joining me to talk about why there seems to be varying views of what defines racism pakneel joseph editor to the root.com and tough universities center for the study of race and democracy, good to see you, and tim wise author of color-blind and dear white america and cnn commentator van jones. all right. good to see you all. good to see you. good morning. panil to you first, parker rice says down in his apology statement it was wrong and reckless but is it more than that? i mean we re talking about lynching the n word n words will never be a part of this fraternity, can you separate the racist language and the person using it? well no. fredricka, i don t think you can in this instance. i think it s an example of anti-black racism that even 50 years after selma is really glour rishing in parts of the flourishing in parts of the united states. especially college campuses but throughout our political, social democratic institutions and i think young millennials like the 19-year-old boy who i am sure is an empathetic compassionate young man in other ways is existing side by side with the racist anti-black sentiments that he s fine with and his cohort is fine with. i think there s something wrong and the family can t say he s a fine young man who made a mistake. what they re not understanding he s articulating what he s been incull cating these years, anti-black racist sentiments. he can enjoy black bodies on the football field at ou but when it comes to joining his fraternity he can this song that creates a hostile climate for african-americans because it s a hostile climate that black students are facing at ou. tim, what is the explanation? i m not asking you to speak for these young people but we re talking about this is another example of something that happens, it is offensive, it clearly sends a very strong message and makes a lot of students very uncomfortable, particularly those who are black, but you have the young students who say in their apologies i was wrong and reckless and done mean anything how is it taking college age kids that explanation is enough? it s not enough. are they racist or not racist is the wrong discussionp whether or not they are at their core racist people isn t the issue. they were willing to participate in the performance of racism and that s been the bigger issue. there were plenty of white folks that didn t own other human beings. there were plenty of white folks who did not actively discriminate in their businesses during segregation but they sat back and collaborated with it they participated in it and we ve got to remember racism is not just about individual bad acts it s about systemic inequality. these young men, i would say, even if we give them the benefit of the doubt say they re not horrible racist people that might be worse. what does it say good people caring people r willing because of group pressure group think or this society s training to participate in racism and until we get to the place where white folks are prepared to stand up and challenge this not just be passively nonracist, but actively anti-racist, we re going to have these kind of things happening. tim, does it underscore that some people just don t understand what racism is? they don t know how to define it? they don t know that, you know uttering a few words can be just as harmful potentially as, you know carrying out an act? i think they clearly don t know what it means, but any time we think about a word that ends in those letters, isms, not just ideologies we re talking about systems of inequity capitalism socialism, racism as well it s not just individual prejudice, it s systemic inequality and as long as we continue to perform acts of individual racism that maintains a system of inequity and that s what we need to be focusing on and talking about. i remember when i was in college there were two crosses burned at tulane university my senior year 1989 and 90 and both times the individuals who did that said well i m not sure it was racist. the first cross was only two feet tall as if somehow we can measure hatred with a slide rule and decide it s not rice racist. we re intent on staying saying there are bad people over here and good people over here. good people can be caught up in bad systems and bad conditioning and act out in racist ways even if deep down they re good people. and, you know, last weekend, you and i were in selma and the nation celebrating a milestone 50 years after the edmundpettus bridge and having this discussion precipitated by college kids there have been a string of situations that really has raised a lot of eyebrows when paula deen apologized for the use of the n word you know some people thought that wasn t enough it didn t seem sincere enough then rudy giuliani recently saying he s not like you, talking about the president of the united states and then fashion police juliana rancic saying a disney actress and singer smelled because of her dreads. this van, in your view what does this say about america, what does it say about people who either say blame it on alcohol, or maybe have a sense of humor about it i really didn t mean it i mean what s going on here. well i cannot improve upon the first two comments what i can i understand and agree, if you pull back something interesting is going on because of social media, digital media, people have are no longer able to present a unitarry self. everybody has their public face and other stuff. even those part of the is conversation. if you taped everything we said for 48 hours, we might be shocked to hear some of the things we ve said, you know just offhand comments or something about a woman or rich people or republicans, whatever. i would hate to hear a playback. what does it seen in it means that the idea are you a racist or not a racist is the wrong thing. are there times, moments where you act or think racially incensesensitive thoughts. you re saying you can t get hung up on the label or whether you or not a racist or the actions or what do you mean? what beyond that then? what i mean is that people are complicated. so what i think is going to be happening more and more is more and more of moments that you thought were private are going to be held up for public review and we will find lots of people are inconsistent they feel one way in their heart but they sometimes act differently. guess what? i know i m not supposed it to eat doughnuts. sometimes i do. that does not make me a terrible person. it makes me a human being. we have to have a conversation about it. people are so quick to say oh, my god, i am never racist never had a racist thought, bone in my body that s just not true. and so then we wind up with these crazy conversations. i think more and more we re going to have to accept that people do act from a multiplicity of impulses some of them are racist as tim said in a society like this let s have a honest conversation about the fact that none of us are perfect but when these moments come up the prefabricated phony sounded apologies make it worse not better and so the people apologizing need to come from a different place but those of us who hear the apology need to think there but for the grace of god, let me show grace, hope nobody is recording me tomorrow. all right. van jones, tim and joe, thank you so much. that is breaking the surface. we could go deeper in the conversation because it is a deep and very big problem and then we ll talk about the legal aspects of that that have been provoked by the actions of a few of those students at oklahoma university. thanks to all of you. that s later on this hour. and we ll be right back. in a race, it s about getting to the finish line. in life, it s how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn t require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn t have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. don t stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. tripadvisor not only has millions of real traveler s reviews and opinions but checks hundreds of websites, so people can get the best hotel prices. to plan, compare & book the perfect trip visit tripadvisor.com today. . . i m almost done.

i m a little bit swimmer, just a little. he s awesome. yeah right. no i think the i really just want to support each other. i just want to make it fun for both of us and help one another. your husband, what are you more concerned about? i m concerned for us to stay on track, to make sure we really stick with it. and i think having that team support, knowing that four other members are doing it with us too, that s a pretty cool thing. any doubt right now joel is going to have difficulty crossing the finish line? i m concerned because she had back surgery last year disk bulge. because she is delivering babies all of the time, that s not easy. and i was a little concerned. but she has the strongest work ethic i ve ever seen. so i don t doubt at all she ll finish. we may have challenges but there s no one that can outwork her. so i m really excited. i know she ll finish. you re going to cross that finish line together. sounds good. all very exciting. all right. this too is pretty exciting. it s a return that has been 14 years in the making. serena williams back in the tennis tournament she once refused to play in. cnn sports coy wire with us now. it s incredible. yes, it is an incredible story. this is an emotional return to indian wells, california last night for serena williams. she hadn t stepped foot on the court since this ugly scene in 2001. she was booed and she and her family hit with racially charged insults. she says she has forgiven everyone and now it s time to move on and be strong. it was a lot different scene this time fred. serena heard the crowd cheer. she got a standing ovation. it moved her. she got a little emotional and teary-eyed. but then the world number one got back to doing what she does best and that s slamming the court. serena won in straight sets 7-5, 7-5. after the match, she admitted she was nervous but knew this moment was much bigger than that. it was a really big statement, you know. and i felt like you know even to have an opportunity to have someone mention a statement like that was quite interesting. but it felt really good. it definitely feels like one of the biggest moments and the proudest moments of my career. > wow. one of the proudest moments. so why now. why did she decide this was the time to end this boycott? she was 19 then. so she was young. and there came a point she can t imagine going back to the place where people were shouting racial insults to her and her father. and for a long time it was really difficult for her to even imagine going to play there. but now she s 33 years old. and she felt it was a good time for her and america to step up and say we can be better. we are better. she felt that by stepping out on the court, she would be making a strong statement that no matter what happens to us or to our families in life it s not what happens to us it s how we go through it. so we can let the whole world know we re strong we re not going anywhere. and we re going to continue being the best we can be. so that was her mode of operation. everything going on in ferguson and everything we re seeing with oklahoma that video we just had a discussion just ten minutes ago about, you know racial chants and the use of derogatory terms, and actions and why it seems that some people kind of are confused about what defines racism. absolutely. and it was a bold statement and at the right time by the world s number-one female tennis star. it was awesome. that s a nice complete package, full circle for her journey. thanks so much coy. appreciate it. so much more straight ahead in the newsroom, and it all starts right now. captions by vitac www.vitac.com happening right now in the newsroom, two days after two officers are shot and injured in ferguson the suspect is still at large. police chasing several new leads today as the manhunt continues. plus it looks like an absolute bomb has hit. it is devastating. and packing winds of 155 miles per hour cyclone pam turning in the south pacific. so far, at least six people killed and an island nation devastated. and is it an overblown incident or a cover-up? new questions today about why two secret service agents are being investigated after allegations of drunken driving on white house property. you re live in the cnn newsroom. hello again, everyone and thanks so much for joining me i m fredricka whitfield. police are chasing several new leads in ferguson, missouri for the suspect or suspects who shot two officers. they are also considering increasing the current 10,000$10,000 reward. it s been more than two days since officers were shot and wounded in the protests. let s bring in stephanie elam in ferguson. stephanie, where does the investigation stand now? reporter: well at this point, fred they continue to look for those suspects. they re saying they don t have anyone in custody, but they re not calling this a cold case. they say the investigators are working around the clock to try to identify who may have been behind the shooting of those two police officers late wednesday night at the end of that protest. they also continue to talk to several people within the community, and that $10,000 reward that is out there, they re considering also increasing that to see if they ll get more leads on what exactly transpired and who was behind this heinous activity of targeting these two police officers fred. now, all of this happening, the police chief has stepped down the city manager, a judge has resigned and then there are people calling for the mayor to do the same. how is that influencing the climate there in ferguson? right. well, this all coming on the heels of that department of justice report and looking at some of the racism they found when investigating the department. out here last night, even in the driving rain there were people out here protesting the ferguson police department. but there was also a small group of people who were out here saying that they were backing not just the police officers but also the mayor. mayor knowles here in ferguson he spoke to our sara sidner and this is what he had to say. you were here during all of the madness that has unfolded in this city. sure. i can tell you this. there s ways to remove me if that is the will of the people. i ve stood for office five times over the last decade. and won every time. this past time just a year ago, less than a year ago now, i was unanimously or unopposed for office. so you re not going anywhere is what you re telling us. unless the residents decide to remove me. but right now that s not the indication i get. and so right now it sounds like mayor knowles is sticking around. does not plan on going anywhere as you heard him say. and at the plagues everything is calm. but as we know it s when night falls the protesters come out. but the tone last night, way more calm way more controlled. a lot more conversations between members of law enforcement and also people out there protesting. it didn t have that anger we have seen in other nights fredricka. stephanie elam keep us posted from ferguson, missouri. appreciate it. today in the south pacific, paradise turned into destruction and a state of emergency was declared after deadly cyclones struck the island chain nation of vanuatu. tropical cyclone pam took direct aim, killing at least six and injuring at least 20 others. the storm is the fourth most powerful ever to make land fall equivalent of a category 5 hurricane. pam had wind gusts up to 200 miles per hour when it hit, tearing houses apart and knocking down trees. and today vanuatu s president is in japan at the united nations conference. ironically focused on natural disaster reduction. he asked the world for help. i m speaking with you today with a heart that is so heavy. i do not really know what impact cyclone pam has left on vanuatu. we have experienced a form of disaster at one time or another. today, we are appealing for your assistance. the australian red cross says shelter, food and water are urgently needed on the island and one emergency worker told cnn it looks like a bomb hit port villa. ivan cabrera is with us now. there have been some discrepancies or is it i guess equivalent of a category 4 or category 5 hurricane? does it depend on yeah so the region? it does. absolutely. so they re all called tropical cyclones everyone in the world. that s the technical name. but depending on where you are, if you are in the atlantic basin, we call them hurnls. if you re in the west pacific, typhoons. the name doesn t really matter. this was the equivalent fredricka, of a category 5 hurricane. and i must tell you as we zoom in closer here and show you the latest the death toll remains in the single digits. i would be very happy, but i would be shocked. i think this has the potential to go into the hundreds if not more. there are going to be villages here that are probably going to have been obliterated by the storm, just because of the structures that they live in. they just can barely sustain a tropical storm or category 1 hurricane. not this. this was a category 5 storm that rolled through here the strongest storm to ever hit vanuatu, the island chain to the north of new californiaedonia here. 150-mile-an-hour winds, still the current wind speed at the core of the storm but continues to move south and east and weakening here. so the worst is over. so at this point, it s a matter of getting the help those people are going to be in desperate need of the next several days especially the smaller islands here. so there is new zealand. we are monitoring this closely here for automatic land. this is the north island of new zealand and the next 48 hours expecting the storm to arrive at in a weakened fashion here gusty winds, certainly and heavy rain. but not going to be the formidable storm it was as it passed through vanuatu. historic storm, second strongest to make landfall across any part of the world since 2015 the typhoon that hit the philippines. keep us posted. and we re hoping for the people there living in those villages they might be all right. in an amazing twist to this story, cnn s bill weir host of the wonder list focused on the area s beauty and remoteness. but in what now teams to be a premonition, one resident expressed fears about rising waters on the island nation and how much devastation that would cause. bill weir joining me live from new york. that really was prophetic, wasn t it that people would express their concern about that and they re not only dealing with high water, but they had to deal with devastating winds, destructive force winds. yeah. i was actually speaking with the prime minister, and he was raising what many low-island nation leaders do the extension threats of rising sea levels. but what s so staggering you get so seduced by the beauty of this place, when the sun is shining. you forget this is a very real possibility. it s easy to row majority size the simple life until the wind starts blowing at 100 miles per hour. what worries me about the friends we made there, as well. it s one thing surviving those winds, huddling together in a banyan tree. what now? i mean there is no refrigeration. these are folks who kind of live hand-to-mouth. it s what they can grow the fish they can catch on a given day. add an injury or two to a village, add a swamped-out boat to that equation and suddenly it becomes a matter of survival as they wait what may take days and weeks for first responders to arrive to some of these places. oh my goodness. and so is this are these islands flat are these mountainous islands? because you you know you think of so many stories of particularly coastal areas or mountainous regions where people talk about knowing the weather, knowing the climate when they live off the land like the people that you met, and they would go to higher ground stand a better chance of withstanding certain stormsystems. is that the case here? folks live on 60 or so. some are mountainous. you know, typical volcanic south pacific islands, and there is high ground for those folks. but what do you do when the wind blows. others are on these low attos inches above sea level, so they have no high ground to flee to as well. just imagine. it s one thing riding out a storm using new york as an example, you know find shelter. imagine riding out super storm sandy in a tree. that s the amazing reality for these kids here. thanks so much for bringing their story and their point of view in your journey. the wonder list airs sunday nights at 10:00 eastern time. and this weekend, tomorrow night, bill is going to be taking you to greece. still ahead, two officers in ferguson, missouri shot. a manhunt now underway and calls for the mayor to resign. how can this deeply torn city recover?

and that ferguson police are unable to perhaps control the streets around them? cnn s brian todd has more. reporter: the police call it an ambush. two officers shot almost killed. it followed a night of street fights between protesters following the resignation of ferguson s police chief. from an exasperated st. louis county police chief, a window no how tough it s been to maintain control. i want everybody here to understand how difficult this is to do it. the exact perfect way. reporter: last summer there were many complaints that police were overly militarized, showing too much force during protests. they were they were criticized for not doing enough allowing looting and other violence. have the police lost the streets of ferguson? the police are trying to find their way. they re trying to find their footing. they re going to be criticized harshly one way or another. reporter: a ferguson police official tells cnn they have not lost control of the streets. but others say their loss of credibility is what got us to this moment. a failure to engage with the community has cost them the trust that is needed to be productive. reporter: and that may have come back to haunt the police in the moments after the officers were shot. an official with the st. louis county police tells us at least initially, many potential witnesses were reluctant to give information to investigators. ron hossco is a director who has worked with several police departments. he says the average mind-set from this moment on is one of survival. how nervous are they and what are they thinking going in? policemen are human beings first. so the first thing you re thinking about is how do i come out of this situation tonight intact. you re thinking about the person that the police officers next to you. reporter: is there is a strong trusted figure among police who could bring calm? captain ron johnson was a visible presence in ferguson last summer walking the streets, trying to tamp done tensions. will he be called upon again? officials across the state are silent on that. the challenge for police going forward if there are protests just how are they going to keep the peace? some protesters have said in ferguson and elsewhere, police with kevlar vests and shields have been too provocative and have come on too strong. ron says now more than ever officers have to protect themselves. brian todd cnn, washington. cedrick alexander, the president of the national organization of black law enforcement executives is also a member of the white house task force on 21st century policing aimed at strengthening the trust among law enforcement officers and the communities they serve. all right. good to see you. good seeing you again. okay. so we re now at the situation in ferguson. we ve got two police officers shot and injured. what does this say about the climate between some people in the community and the police. this happened during a peaceful protest. is there more to this? our hearts and prayers go out to the officers injured. we re glad to know they re released and in the care of their families and we wish for their speedy recovery. it was sad and unfortunate, uncalled for, unjust and certainly did not help in any regard particularly those that were there that night who were exercising their first amendment right in a peaceful way. but we cannot allow for that incident to take away from those who are trying to make a statement that is positive. is that in your view in any way undermining whatever progress may have may have occurred there in ferguson? there are some people who thought they were encouraged by the doj report encouraged by the removal or the stepping down of the police chief there, and does this shooting undermine i guess some momentum of moving forward? well i think what the shooting does quite frankly, is just clearly states that those who were involved and we hope they re caught very soon. but those who were out there that night, marching peacefully in regards to whatever they believed in in terms of response of the chief resigning or scathing report that came out, we have no way to validate that in any way. and i m in the going to attempt to do that. here is the most important thing, i think, fredricka, in all of this. this community has to move forward now. it has to move forward. and i would hope in light of that incident that that police department all the police departments there locally and the community, are beginning to talk. so as they move forward and as the change that we are continuing to see takes place in that community every day, you have to take this as an opportunity to begin to forge and build relationships now. does this in any way is it an indicator that policing is more dangerous for police? i ve heard a lot of dialogue from various people who represent law enforcement in various and recent days many say it s much more dangerous today to police. is it really? is there any difference? it is a challenge. it certainly is a challenge today. policing certainly comes with dangers. does a danger already exist? it already exists. police officers are wearing vests, they have guns. they aren t usually the ones who we think are most vulnerable. the point is this. it is a dangerous profession. in light of everything going on in the country today, all of this gets magnified. and the important piece is that we have to take the opportunity now to support our police because the job that they re doing oftentimes and the calls they go to are very unpredictable. and things can happen very, very quickly. but now is the time to be having those conversations, building those relationships. because the mere nature of being in law enforcement, the mere nature of the job itself, you re going to come upon people who are going to be dangerous. but we have to do more as a police department across this country in making sure we connect with our communities, large and small, and keep that going, because when something does happen fredricka, we re in a much better place to have conversation and move through whatever that challenge is together. and quickly, yes or no should the ferguson police department be dismantled start from anew? what the ferguson police department should be is that community has to make that decision. and that community has to look at experience it has to look at its leadership. meaning when the community elects its mayor or city manager. those are the people who actually end up helping to pick and select a police chief. absolutely. because ordinary citizens don t get the opportunity to do that. they don t. but what has to happen is that community has to look at all the evidence that s been placed in front of them and that community has to make a decision as to who they want for elected officials, appointed officials. that s not for any of us out here to decide. people who live in that community does. because the next whoever is in charge of that community or the city manager, whomever they re going to be the ones who set the tone for what they hope their police department looked like what they hope their court system looked like. they have to so that community has an opportunity now to engage itself fully into a process where they have an opportunity to make some choice. all right. cedrick alexander, thank you so much. i know you re in town for a conference of law enforcement around the region. all the best around the country, yes. great conference. around the country. that s what i really meant to say. thank you so much. appreciate it. all right. we ll get more on cyclone pam right after this. sweet mother of softness. charmin!!! take a closer look at charmin ultra soft and you ll love what you see. not only can you use less, but you can actually see the softness in our comfort cushions. we all go. why not enjoy the go with charmin ultra soft?

well, fredricka, this was really at the worst-case scenario for vanuatu. really what made this storm so bad is not only the fact it was a category 5, right at the top of the scale of intensity, but the fact that the track it took just passed over one island after another. the most populated islands in this island chain. so really they couldn t have caught more bad luck in this instance fredricka. really very, very devastating situation. oh my goodness. so our bill weir had been to the region and described that folks don t have a lot of options when it means trying to get out of harm s way. what do you envision people did when this storm started hitting landfall? well you know the outer islands of vanuatu are incredibly basic. the people live in really nothing more than thatched huts don t have metal roofs. it s like pond fronds so extremely fragile infrastructure. and really it s a case of just learning what the information and the safety practices that have been passed down over the generations when cyclones affect these areas. these local communities have to call on that knowledge and experience to really keep themselves safe. so you know they can t really rely on outside help from the capital city because these islands are so remote and the infrastructure is so basic. and only in recent years do they even get cell towers. have you tried to contact anyone there? i absolutely. i personally haven t got in touch myself with anyone there. but from what i ve seen on social media i ve been monitoring twitter very, very carefully the last 24 hours. i have seen reports coming out of the capital city fort villa, but no news out of the outer islands and this is of great concern. it is indeed. james reynolds thank you very much. appreciate it. the fraternity kicked off the university of oklahoma campus for singing a racial chant about to take action. alpha epsilon has hired big-name attorney who says not now. so what is that attorney going to be asking for?

yeah. there s here. did you just share a listing with me? look at this one. it s got a great view of the lake. it s really nice mom. your dad would ve loved this place. you re not just looking for a house. you re looking for a place for your life to happen. zillow the letters s-a-e are spelling trouble for at least a second time. that s the national fraternity sigma alpha epsilon, the fraternity that got itself kicked off campus at oklahoma university and two of its members expelled for singing ugly racist songs. now things are getting worse at another campus. the university of washington-seattle a black student group says they were insulted by racial slurs by members of s-a-e. that s when they started shouting and then flipping us off and saying you apes why are you here get out of here. it s absolutely unacceptable and something we would never let slide by. we are ultimately trying to find out the truth of the matter. every member of my organization is as offended and frustrated by the situation, in my opinion. let s bring in our legal guys avery freeman, law professor in cleveland, good to see you and richard herman good to see you as well. the two allegations plaguing this frat. and now s-a-e has hired a big-name attorney. let s listen. as i said at the beginning, this matter is not one that seeks a legal solution. we seek to invite the university and its leadership president borne and his designated representatives. and where appropriate, we consider it a good idea to invite representatives of the american civil liberties union in oklahoma and the oklahoma city chapters of the naacp. we believe that working together in a positive manner we can find a solution that is acceptable to everyone to make this a teachable moment and educational moment for what is seriously a flawed incident. steven jones represented timothy mcveigh and now representing sae. what is the objective here? attorney jones says this may be an issue of due process denied particularly in the case of oklahoma university richard, that expulsion happening before due process. is this a valid direction? you know fred mr. jones is a sophisticated, very bright attorney. and he knows, like we have talked about before for about $250 anybody can sue anybody. and here technically, are there due process violations yes there probably are. could there be a due process hearing. yes, there could be. do we know the result of that? we know the result of that. here is the situation, fred. this timing could not be worse for sigma alpha epsilon with the country reeling from selma, the anniversary of selma, from ferguson from garner in new york. racism is number one on the list these days. and to have an incident like this at the university of oklahoma and get magnified to the extent it is is unbelievable. now, this is not a local fraternity. it s a national fraternity and i read in the paper today, the national fraternity has disbanded the fraternity at the university of oklahoma. so they don t exist anymore. whether the university does it or not, they re gone. so i looked at their mission statement. i picked out their mission statement. and the mission statement the creed this fraternity goes by is we like to be deemed true gentlemen. that s their mission statement. they have utterly failed. it doesn t matter what their decision statement is. it s over they re going to be ostracized. what about the students though? because the parents of the students might want to say, wait a minute should my kids have been expelled on these grounds. and so avery, if we re talking about due process and this attorney saying they had the right to at least give their side of the story before being expelled. at the same time isn t there a code of conduct and expectation of students behavior on campus? and does the oklahoma university president, david borne, have this discretion to say this is this violates the code of conduct, and so you re out of here? well without legal challenge. doing legal analysis not talking about gentlemen. what the legal analysis is here is as an organization sae has absolutely no due process rights. they are gone. they are there as a privilege. the individuals, however, fredricka, and this is very important it is a public university. they are entitled to notice. they are entitled to a hearing. david borne, who frankly is wonderful, but should know better should have suspended these students given them notice about what they did wrong, and had a hearing. and based on that evidence he has the right to do the appropriate remedy there. but the violation of rights is not even in question here. these students have a right to a hearing notice and the summary expulsion was absolutely unconstitutional. really? okay. so on that note then richard. we are talking about a public university. and that means that all students should feel comfortable being able to attend go to this school. but if you have racist chants that certainly creates, you know an unsavory atmosphere uncomfortable atmosphere and thereby, the president would have discretion to say this behavior is unacceptable or on the grounds of first amendment rights will he be challenged? you know fred the university is partially federally funded and state funded. there are constitutional protections afforded to the students of this fraternity. but we know the result of that investigation. we have looked at the video. it s not any great shakes uncovered in this investigation. that s why the attorney is very sophisticated. he s trying everything in his power to try to keep the fraternity alive by entering into some sort of rehabilitative some sort of approach. that s not the issue. how does this benefit ultimately? they will lose. who would it benefit, ultimately? because one of the the two parents of the other young man, levi petit, also expelled said he s going to have to live with this the rest of his life. so the damage is done. so how could the reputation of the kids be resurrected or sae from an incident like this? sae is gone fredricka. the reputation of the children is gone. the issue here is due process. those kids have a right to a hearing. they re supposed to be using a surgical fiscal pep. if not, you throw away the constitution. the behavior is reprehensible, but we have a process, fredricka. and when we throw that away the constitution is nullified. so quickly, does this mean the parents or students will be able to sue the school? the students yeah. they could sue the school. but the attorney is telling us he s not going to sue the school. he s trying to sell it. it sounds like nothing is definitive. he said he s not really sure which direction we re going to take. right. there is still an investigation going on. it s going to get settled. that s what s going to happen. richard avery, thank you so much. always appreciate you gentlemen. even more fun when we re all talking at the same time. but somehow i still understand everything. all right. good to see you guys. thank you so much. see you next weekend. much more in the newsroom right after this. something entirely new is being built into bounty. dawn. new bounty with dawn. just rinse and wring so you can blast right through tough messes and pick up more. huh aren t we clever.. new bounty with dawn.

is there another mainland or chain of islands that can be hit? no. it s actually moved out of the way here i think. i think we re now going to move into what is going to be a long process for the recovery for those folks out there. and let s just bring you up to date on what s going on a recap here. made landfall our time march 13th yesterday 9:35 a.m. on the east coast, sustained winds at 165 miles per hour. again, that s the equivalent of category 5 hurricane in the atlantic basin, why we re covering this story. that is the strongest landfall globally planet-wide since 2013 and strongest ever to hit vanuatu. and the other reason we re covering this story, the island chain nation is very vulnerable to these storms. we have not had a strong one like this hit them and they are not prepared for this. some of the villages some of the pictures i ve been looking at literally we have people that are living on trees. so i must imagine there are some villages that are just going to be completely wiped out on the back side of this storm now as we take a look at the winds at 150 miles per hour. still a formidable storm. so yes, fredricka, thankfully we have run out of islands to deal with. so now it s over open water. we have a land mass now and it s new zealand. and we re going to watch this closely. it does have a potential to bring some very strong tropical storm-force winds perhaps getting to hurricane-force wind gusts in about 48 hours as it heads off to the south. but nowhere near what they re going to have to deal with in vanuatu the next several days. gosh very tough trying to recover for that. and then of course finding anyone else who may be injured. some of the tiny villages so difficult to get to them. and there may not be much left. gosh, ivan cabrera, thank you so much. appreciate that. if you want to help the people of vanuatu, head to our impact your world website at c cnn.com/impact. and cnn s bill weir was in vanuatu just weeks ago filming the premier of his show the wonder list and gave him a unique perspective of the island nation s people and fragility. earlier today he told me how difficult it will be for vanuatu s people to handle this kind of natural disaster. we spent some time in this village where people live like it is 100 b.c. it s literally grass skirts in the woods, banyan tree houses. and you know they re perfectly content. they know what the modern world has to offer, but, you know we re so used to in the west go to an interior room in the bathtub bathtub. there are no interior rooms, much less bathtubs. these are hardy folks. they have survived this part of the world. bill weir s new show the wonder list airs tomorrow night at 10:00 right here on cnn, 10:00 p.m. eastern time. now to the manhunt in ferguson, missouri. authorities say they have new leads in their search for the person or persons responsible for shooting and injuring two officers at the end of a wednesday night protest outside the ferguson police department. cnn s stephanie elam is in ferguson with an update on the investigation. anything new in their search? reporter: well they continue to search for whoever is behind the shooting of those two police officers late wednesday night, just as the protest was winding down. what they are saying is that this is not a cold case they continue to work around the clock. investigators are looking to find any clues. they have done plenty of interviews and continue to interview people. there is a $10,000 reward out there, and they re considering increasing that if they think it will help them get any answers. but as far as where the investigation stands and what they think happened here s what the chief of the st. louis county police department had to say. this is really an ambush is what it is. i mean you know you can t see it coming. you don t understand that it s going to happen and you re basically defenseless from the fact that it is happening to you at the time. and that is something that is very difficult to guard against when you have a group of officers standing in a large group, and then you know you have gunfire directed at them. it undermines everything that everybody is trying to do in this. it really does. now, i won t walk away from the fact that it is not beyond the realm of possibility that having all those officers standing there together and the fact that two of those officers were hit, that these officers weren t targeted. and there are people from the community, surrounding communities, coming out to support the police officers even last night in the driving range, standing outside to say they are behind the police officers showing their support from that as well as people who have been protesting saying this is not the way they want to go about things fred. and stephanie, is there a feeling there that people think these actions may have undermined any hope they had for moving forward, especially after the most recent doj report? well that s a huge part of it is finding out how this community is going to go forward after that doj report. and one constant thing that has come up is one of the resignation of the police chiefs of ferguson. now that s happened. he is going to be departing next week. there is also calls now for the mayor to leave. the mayor saying telling our sara sidner he s not going anywhere. if the people of ferguson want him to leave, there are ways to go about that. and we know that some people are saying they re organizing to make that happen. but others are saying they just want to continue to see change. you have seen a will the of people out here protesting throughout the time since mike brown was killed on august 9th. they have been out here and it s been quiet. and one thing we did see last night sl as well is some video of law enforcement, folks from law enforcement speaking with people who are out here protesting. and they were having a calm conversation where they perhaps did not grow on everything but sharing ideas back and forth. and that s something that does happen out here in ferguson. and it may not get as much of the attention. but still, you can see the people out here protesting a lot of them do not want to be associated with someone who would hide out in the shadows on a hill and shoot at two police officers. so you do see these two different ideas out there, and it s very, very clear that people do not support that. yeah. a situation that makes everybody nervous. stephanie elam thank you so much in ferguson. the u.s.-led coalition led ten air strikes against isis in the last day, and eight of them took place across iraq and the other two were in syria. in the strategic city of tikrit combined iraqi forces have taken have certainly been taking a battle from isis fighters. they have managed to take back about 75% of the city so far b. you not all battles against isis are going as well. we re in baghdad right now. jam anna there is a fierce battle in ramadi. what is happening there right now? reporter: well fred according to senior officials, local government officials in anbar province to the west of baghdad, iraq s largest province predominantly sunni, and mostly under the control of isis. now, according to these government officials today, two suicide bombers driving bulldozers attacked a building used as an outpost by the iraqi security forces there. it s an eight-story building. they use it really for monitoring and also sniper positions. and according to the officials, what the bombers did was the first attacker detonated the explosives by the concrete barriers opening the way for the second suicide bomber also driving a bulldozer to strike the building. and according to the senior official we spoke to it flattened this building. at least two members of the security forces were killed and five others were wounded. the concerning thing here for iraqi officials, fred is that this is the fourth consecutive day of attacks that we are seeing taking place in ramadi. isis on wednesday launched an offensive, a very complex and coordinated attack using multiple suicide car bombs and also more than 150 mortars, also striking the city. and we have seen this taking place yesterday, the day before. more attacks taking place with a focus on ramadi. for months now, the group has been trying to capture what remains of ramadi. officials we have spoken to there say that as they come under pressure as isis is under pressure in tikrit by the iraqi forces there, it is trying to strike back there. and the strong message there from the group that it is still capable and able carrying out such deadly attacks, fred. my goodness. all right, thank you so much from baghdad. still ahead, the u.s. secret service has a new boss but the latest incident at the white house is calling into question whether anything is changing at the agency. we ll talk about that, next. i m jerry bell the second. and i m jerry bell the third. i m like a big bear and he s my little cub. this little guy is non-stop. he s always hanging out with his friends. you ve got to be prepared to sit at the edge of your seat and be ready to get up. there s no deep couch sitting. definitely not good for my back. this is the part i really don t like right here.

well i think the investigationses are going to be ongoing, investigations from the secret service, dhs. congress is going to launch its own investigations. so it s really too early to tell. but we do know that there has been a culture of integrity issues culture of doing the wrong thing, and at times thinking they re above the law. for a long time? this culture is deep-rooted or is this a new thing? this is not a new thing. i think one of the more popular or well-known instances is the colombia incident. but the incidents have been going on for a while and it s ingrained in the culture. and when i was on the hill we talked about this. and i think that you know mr. chaffetz has a daunting task ahead of him, because the jurisdiction on the hill is very, very complicated. so when you say it s in the culture, i m just trying to understand specifically what. like overstepping one s bounds feeling an overabundance of kind of you know security in the job, and so whatever goes is fine or is it a code of silence? what is it that is demonstrative of a culture? what s happening? it s a great question. and i think the answer is very complicated. the answer is all of the above and more. unfortunately, you know the the very proud men and women at the secret service are being overshadowed by a few that really believe that they re above the law, that the rules don t apply to them. that they can basically get away with whatever they want. and in this instance whether it turns out to be true or false, i think the new director has a daunting task and really needs to restore that integrity, that honor, back to the core in the secret service. how would he do that? well i think in this case if this turns out to be true the director has to be very swift and he has to act very decisively and the punishment needs to be severe. but he also needs to go throughout the organization and start cleaning house, and make sure that this culture is rooted out and really plucked out of the secret service, because at the end of the day, the american public i think is losing trust in their ability to actually protect the president. and then i wonder you know that seems pretty daunting. the clearing house as you put it because to be a secret service agent, we re talking about elite forces here. you just don t, you know advertise we re looking for a few, you know folks here to fill the gaps you know sips others have now been asked to leave. i mean how difficult is it to replace people? is it more difficult to remove a culture or change a culture than it is to you know have a new rank and file? well it s very challenging to replace the culture. i think in this case the culture that we re talking about, this this above the law culture s not throughout the organization. so the organization is not we don t need to throw the baby out with the bath water, so to speak. but the director does have a daunting task. and he s got to cut out that cancerous culture. and he does have to start recruiting. they need to bring in new blood. and they need to be a little bit more transparent, and i think that the director working with both congress and dhs has an opportunity here to do that and to do that for the sake of protecting the president. interesting. all right. joshua katz thank you so much. pleasure having you. thank you very much. all right. still ahead, tensions between washington and moscow are at their highest level since the cold war in the view of many. and now growing concerns about a new russian cruise missile that officials say could reach the u.s. that s next. but first, here s this week s fit nation challenge. woo! how important is this to do together? you know accountability is huge. and i feel like we would hold each other accountable. we have the same goals. like if you don t want to work out one day, and but i do let me help motivate you. is this going to be more supporting each other, or is from going to be some friendly competition? i m a little better swimmer, just a little. he s awesome. yeah right. i think i really just want to support each other. i just want to make it found for both of us and help one another. your husband. what are you most concerned about? i m concerned for us to stay on track, to make sure we really stick with it. and i think having that team support and knowing that four other members are doing it with us too, that s a pretty cool thing. how many doubt that joe is going to have any difficulty crossing the finish line? i m concerned because she had a little back surgery last year disk bulge. you know because she is delivering babies all of the time. that s not easy. and i was a little concerned. but is she has the strongest work ethic i ve seen. so i don t doubt at all she ll finish. we may have challenges but there is no one that can outwork her. i know she ll finish. we re going to cross that finish line together. sounds good! fit nation trichallenge brought to you by sitery california maximum. highly soluble, easily absorbed. defiance is in our bones. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. easily absorbed calcium plus d. now in a new look. want to know a secret?

joining us right now, antonio french st. louis alderman in ferguson and joining us via skype from new jersey tom vernie retired detective from the nypd. good afternoon. mr. french the state and county police taking over protest security in ferguson. the state has taken over the city court. what is the feeling right now about what can and should be done to kind of fix so many things there in ferguson? yeah. people have their plates full right now. it is a lot to be done. the resignation of the chief and the city manager were the first steps of a long journey of steps that need to be taken. we sincerely hope the police are successful in tracking down that individual that shot the police officers the other day. i think that was a potential setback. but what we have seen is people have stayed focused in trying to repair the system of injustice described in the department of justice report. and so it s not just a few resignations that people are looking for. it s really a change of a system that exists not just in ferguson, but in neighboring municipalities as well. and do you feel like a change in the system means that say, the ferguson police department would need to be overhauled the police chief already stepped down. but would there have to be a next step such as starting anew with all personnel? well i think it s required to have change in leadership. so those folks that were responsible for the culture that is described in the doj report, that allowed that culture to fester they need to go. and so we have seen two resignations of high-ranking officials so far. there may need to be more. but as far as the future of the ferguson police department that is a decision that the people of ferguson are going to have to make. we have some elections coming up in ferguson in a couple weeks. hopefully new voices will be added to the city council. and they ll have to take a hard look at what direction the city wants to take. and tom vernie what do you think is needed for our ferguson police department? is it an issue of an overhaul and then how hopeful should people be at that juncture? they wouldn t be certain of who would be coming in and what that would mean for the city. would it promise better a better relationship between the community that it would serve? you know i think the steps they have already taken are good steps. i mean i don t think anything less would have been acceptable to the community. so you know the chief we talk about this chief had a very long successful career. and that can t be ignored, either. you know the doj report did, you know have a number of findings that showed some sort of systemic issue there in ferguson which, you know to what part he maid played in that is up for debate. now that he is leaving, the new chief is going to have their hands full trying to put that place back together. in a more positive and productive light. and that will take a lot of input from the community, as well. and what do you mean by that the input from the community? is there promise that community policing could i mean has room for improvement there, particularly in ferguson. and how much of the onus is on community, in your view tom? well i think there s work to be done on both sides. i mean you clearly have a community that does not trust their local police department right? and then you have the police especially in light of the two recent shootings, don t trust the community. so that s let s call it what it is. there s a large level of distrust there. so there needs to be a repair of mutual trust between the police and the community and vice versa. and i think when the community when the new chief comes in and some systemic changes are made maybe improvements in training i mean you have policing in that area for quite some time. i don t know if a complete wipe of the police department is necessary. i think some reforms and procedure need to be potentially made. some reforms in training some new and improved training. i think that will start the ball rolling. okay. and some community relations programs that will get the community more involved with the police would definitely be helpful. that s what we did in new york city over the last couple decades. and the crime reduction in new york city is not an accident. the community had a large degree to play with that. because of the close relationship that was built with the nypd. so antonio french, real quick then restoring trust. there s a lack of trust on both sides. so who makes the first move in your view on trying to restore trust? the community, or the police department in ferguson? well i think it s key that the next leader of the police department making the effort number one to make the police department more reflective of the community. and so it s unacceptable that you have a 70% african-american population but a police department that has almost african-american officers. that creates a problem. so you should have a department that reflects the community. i think that will help. it would also help to have a leader that does a much better job than the previous chief of being able to maintain the connection with the community. so there aren t two sides. and that eventually you get to the point where there is one community, not two sides of a community. all right. antonio french tom vernie thanks to both of you gentlemen. i appreciate it. you re welcome, thank you. straight ahead, police body cameras have been in the news a lot lately in terms of ideas about helping and crime-fighting. but those cameras can also capture something pretty amazing. like this. rescue of an 18-month-old little girl. the dramatic images, next. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. bring us your baffling. bring us your audacious. we want your sticky notes, sketchbooks, and scribbles. let s pin em to the wall. kick em around. kick em around, see what happens. because we re in the how-do-i-get-this-startup- off-the-ground business. the taking-your-business- global-business. we re in the problem-solving business. 400,000 people - ready to help you solve problems while they re still called opportunities. from figuring it out to getting it done we re here to help.

[ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica. transform tomorrow. all right. there are new revelations that at least one va hospital may be failing its patients again. a cnn investigation last year revealed some veterans were being put on secret waiting lists. president obama visited the phoenix v.a. medical center on friday a place where, as you reported at least 40 veterans died while waiting for appointments. the president went for a status report of sorts, meeting with the new v.a. secretary, veterans and employees there. and while much has changed at the v.a. cnn s drew griffin has uncovered evidence that the skrchlt v.a. in los angeles is still making veterans wait hiding wait times and possibly misleading congress on exactly how long veterans are being forced to wait for care. reporter: it s still happening. thousands of patients at the greater los angeles veterans medical centers have been waiting more than three months just for an appointment. the detailed evidence comes from the v.a. s own documents obtained by cnn, and confirmed by medical and administrative sources inside the greater l.a.va hospital system. new patients seeking care are forced to wait the longest, sometimes months to see a doctor. records show this january 15th more than 1,600 veterans who were new patients were waiting 60 to 90 days for an appointment, another 400 veterans have been waiting up to six months. and the documents provided to cnn show the lengthy wait times are still happening. all of this comes ten months after the head of the v.a. generic shinseki was forced to resign because of mismanagement of the exact same issue. now listen to what one v.a. official from los angeles told congress just last month. how long is the average wait time for a new patient at the greater l.a. medical center? the average wait time for a new patient right now is about four days. that statement is simply not true. according to these v.a. documents, and a half dozen doctors and administrators within the hospital who spoke to cnn, the average the average wait time is ten times greater. it s not four days. it s 44 days. the delays are even taking place at the los angeles clinic for mental health where documents show more than 300 veterans seeking mental health care have been waiting 30 60 even 90 days. specifically asked about mental health wait time that same va official dr. sky mac dougall, told congress the wait time is no different she said just four days. it s true for mental health as well. according to va documents and a half dozen sources interviewed by cnn, that is not true. this chart shows as of march 1st new mental health patients in los angeles are waiting an average 36 days just to get an appointment. los angeles va officials wouldn t talk to cnn about the discrepancies instead sent a report explaining the report given to cnn doesn t include same day or same week appointments for those veterans needing care quickly. typically account for less than all 10% appointments are not representative of the whole patient population. the va is sticking by its own man, that new vets waited just four days in january, just eight days in march. the real truth say that doctors and administrators cnn interviewed is wait times for patients at the los angeles va medical centers extends into weeks and months and are a serious problem. what is so disappointing about this is even after a $16 billion bill that congress passed and the president signed to try to fix the va and even after a lot of the managers responsible at the one out in phoenix were fired or some have resign resigned we re still facing the same basic problem. you just can t seem to trust the numbers coming out of the va bureaucracy. that is what has now congressional investigators looking into all of this. fred? all right. extraordinary. thank you very much drew griffin and his reporting. up next a candid prince charles talking about his wife in an exclusive interview with cnn. she s, i think, brilliant in the way she s tackled these things. more on prince charles, camila and their trip to america next. in a race, it s about getting to the finish line. in life, it s how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn t require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn t have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. don t stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. on tuesday prince charles and his wife arrived in the yiegs. and the royal couple planned to meet with president obama and send some trips. it comes a few days before their tenth wedding anniversary. max foster got an interview with the prince. you ll see it in a cnn special airing tonight and he asked how camilla has handled the spotlight. people cannot believe it s been ten years, and in that time she found her public role. is it a challenge? you can imagine it s been a real challenge. i think she s been brilliant in the way she s tackled these things. max foster joining us live from london with a preview of tonight s special. i know, you and the prince are like this. what did she share in his view of america and his journey around the corner? interesting. i mean they visited america for the first time as a couple right after their wedding. at the time she was very unpopular. america, like the rest of the world was, is in love with princess dianna. she faced play cards with vicious words. somehow over the last ten years, certainly brits have warm talked to her as she sort of, you know the spin machine around her. it calmed down and they allowed her to be herself. prince charles felt it was a good time to start talking about his wife. he very rarely talks to anyone but let alone about personal feelings. that s what he was doing here. that s exceptional, really. he also looked back at the other u.s. tours, and he s very very fond of america. i must admit a quite a lot of them presidents of the united states. and quite often those encounters have taken place at the white house. during charles tours of the united states. this is a country that you ve visited many times officially and privately. i think i ve been 20 times or something the last 45 years. as prince charles and the duchess of cornwall prepare for their upcoming four-day tour of the u.s. he granted me an exclusive interview. he shared memories of past visits. i remember the first time. we were invited my sister and i at 1970 at the white house by president nixon for the weekend. that was quite amusing. there was a time when they were trying to marry me off. reporter: ten years ago camila joined charles. their first official overseas visit. [ cheers and applause ] in 2005, a first joint overseas tour with your new wife. what are your memories of that visit? i remember we had a very very jolly time in california i seem to remember. and there was a friend there. well they re excited about arriving. they arrive on tuesday, i think. we ll wait to see the reaction. he also talked about a upcoming next royal baby which i m sure we ll be covering. you know we re going to be covering. you ll probably be there in the delivery room giving us another exclusive. please no! wouldn t that be something. all right. max foster, thank you very much. we re going to be watching of course this evening max s interview with prince charles tonight at 7:30 here on cnn. we have so much more straight ahead in the news room. it all starts right now. happening now in the news room. it looks like an absolute devastating. packing winds of 150 miles per hour cyclone pam is turning in the south pacific. at least six people have been killed and an island nation devastated. two days after a two officers are shot and injured. the suspect or suspects are still at large. police are chasing several new leads today as the manhunt continues. and is it an overblown incident or a cover up? new questions today about why two secret service agents are being investigated after allegations of drunken driving on white house property. you re live in the cnn newsroom. hello everyone. thank you for joining me. devastation and destruction today in part of the south pacific. an island paradise has been turned into a complete disaster zone. it was slammed by a deadly storm as powerful as a category five hurricane. at least six people were killed after cyclone program took direct aim at. the sound of wind gusts up to 200 miles per hour as cyclone pam slammed into the south pacific island of vitamin watt tu. endangering the lives up to 250,000 people itting loose like absolute devastation here. roofs are ripped off everywhere. it looks like an absolute bomb has hit it. it s devastating. i m just driving around what you can drive through. there are a lot of roads that are blocked off. trees have fallen across in some piles so high you can barely see over the top. the water is incredibly rough. there are some villages that have been just absolutely decimated. there are local which are native roofs they ve been blown away. most of us in the hotel ended up sleeping underneath the facilities in the bottom. i ve been through many cyclones including in 2006. it was phenomenal. it s one of the strongest cyclones ever to hit the region. people took cover in churches and schools. the capital city to port vila suffered flooding and power cuts. at a conference in japan, the president spoke with a heavy heart as he made an appeal for international healthy. i m speaking with you today with a heart that is so heavy. i do not really know what impact cyclone pam has left. we re heading to evacuation centers and we re working with the government here. how can we provide the shelters and all the agencies on the ground. it may take weeks before the full extent of the damage is known. let s bring in cnn tom now. it is horrible. think of the damage from hurricane sandy or hurricane katrina. isabel, isaac, even andrew in florida. this is stronger than that. a lot of these villages don t have a cinder block or a stone. here is the west coast of the u.s. you can see hawaii. the sea across northern areas of australia. warmest waters on the planet now. this week in the world weather center we were covering four different cyclones. it s all the same. they spin in another direction in the south. look at the winds speeds and notice the purple. the strongest winds on the east side. that s important to note. it s still a massive storm but sliding away from the islands. when you look at the storm port vila. this is the capital city 50,000 live there took a direct hit. we started seeing a trend over land. two islands down 1200 people live there. it s a large village without one brick in the community. so they re outdoors. it s a vulnerable area. storm surge 26 feet. winds up to 200 miles per hour. a category five equivalent strength. not only the strongest to hit van watt tu. it s the second strongest in the entire south pacific in the history of records. here is port vila, fuji is on the edge of the screen here. as we get into the area there are homes along the coastline. why not? you re in paradise. look at the population. this is vila bay. about 82 islands, about 60 are inhabited. many locations are thatch roofs. it will take weeks to find out the damage and get the death toll which no doubt is going to rise. because it was so strong. it is diving to the south. it s getting into cooler water now. they re watching on the north island of new zealand. as we keep our eye on that our thoughts are with them. they have to clear the runway. there is no getting in there, period. debris is everywhere. horrible. tom, thank you so much. that was a comprehensive great report. appreciate it. right now police in ferguson missouri are desperately trying to find the suspect who shot two officers during a protest at a ferguson police department. police are chasing leads, canvassing the streets and talking to citizens. police were fired on at the end of the wednesday night protest and one officer was shot in the face. another in the shoulder. let s bring in stefanie in ferguson. how are the officers who were shot? how are they doing? and where is the investigation? reporter: unbelievably both of the officers even the one shot in the face have been released from the hospital and are recovering at home. on the investigation side though that continues around the clock. law enforcement is saying they re searching for whoever is behind shooting these officers. they say they have interviewed several people around and talked to witnesses, they re looking for any clues to who might this be. they do not have anyone in custody at this point. but they continue to work throughout the community to see if they can pinpoint who it is and keep these conversations going to find out who is behind shooting them. at the same time you saw out here last night there were people out here protesting. there are people out here protesting on two sides. you saw people protesting the ferguson police department and also people out here who were supporting the police department. supporting law enforcement and, also some saying they support the mayor of ferguson as well james follows. there are calls he should step down after the doj report taking look what happens happening in ferguson. he said he s not going anywhere. this is what he told us. reporter: why should you trust you since you were here during the madness that unfolded? sure. i can tell you this there s ways to remove me if that s the will of the people. i ve stood for office five times over the last decade and won every time. less than a year ago now i was unanimously or unopposed for officer. reporter: so you re not going anywhere? unless the residents decide to remove me. right now that s not the indication i get. reporter: we have heard there are some organizations that are working to see if they can get the signatures here in ferguson. nothing official with the city just yet. and as far as the protests out here at the population right now it s calm but at night we see people out here no matter the weather. they re still coming out here to protest. what we did see last night was a conversation between law enforcement officials as well as people who were out there to protest. and many saying they do not want to be caught up with the people who are out here doing the shooting and the agitating. they want to see change in ferguson and they don t believe that s the way things are going to get better. stefanie elam thank you so much. secretary kerry is getting ready to face iranian officials for talks on a nuclear deal just days after iran s supreme leader blasted that letter from republican senators. how kerry says it could impact talks. each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. .which meant she continued to have the means to live on. .even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. progressive insurance here and i m a box who thrives on the unexpected. ha-ha! shall we dine?

it s red, white and blue. log on to learn more. the clock is ticking as john kerry heads to the next round of nuclear talks with iran. kerry is trying to get a deal done by the end of the month, he s going to switzerland tomorrow to meet with iran s foreign minister. in egypt today, kerry slammed the letter 47 republican senators sent to iran. it said any nuclear deal might not last if it doesn t have congressional support. iran s supreme leader lashed out calling the letter trickery. and today kerry said it could become an obstacle. we have urge edd ed heard some comments by the supreme leader about the letter sent by the 47 senators. until i engage in the conversations, i cannot gauge on a personal level that reaction though i can tell you from common sense that when the united states senate sends a letter such as 47 senators choice to send the other day, it is a direct interference. i m joined by steven collins and senior reporter for cnn politics. good to see you. could the letter really have a significant impact on negotiations? yes, i think it could. because it could affect the concessions that iran s negotiators are prepared to make in the talks in switzerland. john kerry will be attending tomorrow. you know there s this clear opposition to the deal in congress and if you are in the position of an iranian negotiator you might think this deal has possibly not gotten much chance of surviving beyond the presidency of barack obama. but when a new president possibly a republican comes in in 2017 that this deal could die. i think it could affect the concessions iran is prepared to make or the iranian negotiators could give the impression they believe that the deal won t last and they can use that idea as leverage in the talks. you know, at the same time it seems like it s pretty public knowledge a world over what kind of relationship the president has with members of congress and that this just, you know further exempt fies the attention between those two branchs of government. why would it be the feeling this would impact negotiation between two countries when it s the president the leader of one country and the leader of another? well, because sooner or later congress is going to get to weigh on the deal. the administration has decided not to negotiate a treaty which would mean it would have to submit the deal for congress and get to get a two-thirds majority in the senate of approval. so does negotiating and executive agreement and within the rights within the institution to do that. sooner or later, the congress is going to be asked to lift some sanctions on iran in return for iran remaining about a year away from the point where it can build nuclear weapon. that s the whole point of this deal. so the president for the next two years, can use his power to lift presidential sanctions, he can ask u.s. partners to lift their sanctions. sooner or later congress will be asked to lift the sanctions. it s clear there s not a major majority in congress to do so. it s not just republicans. there s a bunch of democrats who believe it s going to be a bad deal. it s not going to keep iran from having infrastructure that one day could use to build nuclear weapon. so sooner or later whether it s now or in two years time congress is going to have to weigh in on this. and of the 47 republicans, are any of them backing away now from the letter after the backlash? some of them have sort of said it was done a little bit too quickly. maybe there should have been more thought about this. i have talked to some republican sources on capitol hill and they say it might have been a mistake for tom cotton and others to address the letter directly to iran. it looks like they were trying to interfere in the process. why wouldn t they have thought about that beforehand before signing it? that s a good point. they could have addressed the letter to the six nations as well as the united states that are taking part in the talks. what happened in practice was the fact they addressed iran took some of the tension away from the fact the arguments they were making. they were saying it was a bad deal. that congress couldn t sign on to this. so in fact they may have diminished their impact. i think you can say that both this letter and the visit to the united states in the speech to congress by prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel a couple of weeks ago has made some democrats who are skrept call of the deal coalesce around the president. they don t want to go against their president even though they like the deal. and paradoxly these things have given president obama more leverage. stephen colinson thank you so much in washington. appreciate it. you can follow stephen s reporting on this at cnn.com/politics. we ll be right back. i m locked in. it s processing the payment. and here is the man who makes it run! hello, good to see you, sir. this is the future. it givings you the idea that the loyalty programs that they re having. also to have a fun experience when you visit the shop. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. now?

[ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica. all right. checking top stories. a lawyer for the now disbanded eded sigma alpha open slon some of the members have gotten death threats after video surfaced showing a bus full of sae members taking part in a racist chant. attorney stephen jones says there are no plans right now to sue the university but it is not clear what legal action might be sought. and a public funeral will be held today for tony robinson in madison, wisconsin. the 19-year-old teen was shot and killed by a police officer last week. robinson was unarmed. police say robinson assaulted the officer who then drew his weapon and fired. and two wisconsin girls will stand trial as adults for allegedly trying to kill a classmate to please the fictional internet character slenderman. 12-year-old morgan geyser and 13-year-old are charged with attempted homicide for allegedly stabbing the girl 19 times back in may. each teen could face up to 65 years in prison if convicted, according to the associated press. and still ahead, new questions are being raised about the investigation into two u.s. secret service agents who were accused of driving drunk. could the story be changing? that is next. but, first, here is this week s cnn money innovate with rachel crane. it s a terrifying fact of life. doctors make mistakes. and that s why artificial intelligence start up is turning computers into cancer detecting radiologists. what we re trying to accomplish is to create what we call data-driven medicine. the way you re doing it is with computers not people. that s director. we use something called machine learning. it s where you get a computer to figure something out by looking at previous examples. we take the information about you as a patient and compare it to the previous 50 million patients to find the people that have had the exact same symptoms and tests and so forth and figure out how did they get better? what happened to them? and then we can use that insight to decide how best to treat you. do you think that this software that an lettic can help save lives? the software will for sure save lives. it won t just save lives, but it will also save a huge amount of stress. we have algorithms that can find earlier and more accurately whether or not you have lung cancer. if we can find out that early, you have a 400% better chance of survival. analytic is still in technology the bleeding edge technology piqued the interest like this oncologist who is the chief medical officer. you are a radiology oncologist. do you think these systems and computers can read scans more efficiently than you can? artificial intelligence is much more consistent and systemic in interpreting these skans. most of these interpretations by radiologists are just that subjective interpretations where as algorithms are unbiassed dmap render an opinion based on the actually feature in an image. the lexus command performance sales event has begun. take command of every urban adventure, scenic drive or parts unknown. with the highly capable gx. versatile rx. or first-ever nx turbo. come see why lexus is the fastest-growing automotive luxury brand. during the command performance sales event. get great offers on your favorite lexus models. now through march 31st. see your lexus dealer.

reporter: well what we know is that on the evening of march 4th these two senior secret service agents were at a party that was about seven blocks away from the white house. it was a retirement party for one of their colleagues. there was drinking obviously, going on at the party. whether or not those two secret service agents took part in that we don t actually know those details. later in the night those two agents drove a government car back to the white house and at the time at the border of the white house there was a suspicious area because of some suspicious activity. there was a bomb threat and there were secret service agents investigating that bomb threat. the car with these two agents drove up to the barricade, nudged an orange barrel but there was no collision. there was no damaged that we know of. no confrontation. it may even be there was never even an ask for a sobriety test for either of the secret service agents. that was, of course what was initially allegedly there had been some suggestion that a test needed to happen. a lot of these details are now in dispute. what we also know is that joe clancey, the secret service director was not told about it until five days later. because of that people are calling into question whether protocols are being followed at secret service. whether clancey can turn around the agency and restore some credibility. jonathan a former secret service agent was on cnn earlier today. here is what he had to say about that. joe clancey is driving the bus right now. he s the head of this agency. he needs to get ahead of these issues. everything that happened in the past we need to learn from them we need to move beyond we need to start developing managers within the secret service that can move our agency forward. the other thing we need to point out, fred is that secret service has not said anything publicly about the incident. none of the details, just they re investigating some alleged misconduct. have those two agents been reassigned? are they still on duty? what is their status while the investigation carries on? fred they have been reassigned to other non-operational roles. one was the second in command and charge of protecting the president and those two agents have been assigned to different jobs. thank you so much. to the investigation to the shooting two of police officers in ferguson missouri. investigators say they re following several new leads, but the ferguson police department may be in for a complete overhaul according to some. u.s. attorney general eric holder said he s prepared to dismanned l the entire force if that is what it takes to ensure discriminate story police practices targeting african-americans are destroyed. our next guest insisting gutting the force is a must. mark o mara writes everyone in the ferguson police department needs to leave from the top to the bottom. the police department should be completely reinstituted under department of justice control in a manner that ensures that citizens of ferguson receive the type of public service they pay for and deserve. cnn legal analyst mark o mara joining us now from orlando, florida. all right. good to see you. you re not saying bring in a whole new contracted police force, but you re saying under the department of justice under that entity should a new police force be brought in. how would that work? well, first of all, the reason for it i don t mean it as an indictment of each and every cop in ferguson. the problem with it is because of what happened in ferguson. because we focussed on ferguson we have identified a huge amount of mistrust from police throughout the country. particularly in the black community. i think that we should look in ferguson and say, look we know the department of justice report says there s a real legitimate concern and that the black population looking at those concerns are legitimate themselves. why not take this as an opportunity to go back in redoing it from ground zero and show everyone throughout the country not just the black community that when we find a problem that obviously exists in ferguson we re going to fix it and we re going to show we can truly do it the right way. maybe, you know, two years from now we ll look back fred you ll go there and have a special that says ferguson pd 500 days later and see we can do it the right way and start rebuilding trust not only in ferguson where it s really needed but throughout the country. what about in the interim. it sounds like something, if it is indeed a viable option and one that, you know is likely to come to fruition that it still, you know a long way away. so what in the meantime in terms of policing and the community and the building of trust and enforcement and protecting and serving in the interim? the logistics will be difficult. i don t make light of what it s going to take. it s going to take some extra money and manpower. what i suggest in the interim as we build up to it we have department of justice involvement oversight. we might need to bring into new leadership to the ferguson police department. we might have to have some unintended quote, victims of this new ferguson police department but i think that the opportunity cost of having to reinstitute the department is worth the benefit we ll have. and i agree this is not an easy process. look at what we ve done for the past seven months in ferguson. the money that was spent, the emotions that have played out, the concerns we have. if we can actually bring in the department of justice, somebody who can start with a fresh slate, then we re going get them one thing we have to have and that s the rebuilding of the trust in the community. it s worth whatever the cost. and has this shooting of two police officers the injuring of these two police officers changed the dynamic in any way? i think evidence is there is still an ongoing legitimate problem in ferguson. i think that shooter that attempted eded assassin is a lone actor. i don t think it was part of the peaceful protest. it is evidence there s an enormous amount of emotions wrapped around ferguson. if we do it affirmatively we ll have a positive result. if we try to use a band aid then those people who want to take advantage of the situation are going to do it. thank you so much from orlando. good to see you. sure. still to come. stunning video released during the boston bombing trial. the car-jacking victim of the brothers running for his life at a gas station and begging for help. the story next. introducing dance-all-you-want bladder leak protection. new always discreet underwear for sensitive bladders from always, the experts in feminine protection. new always discreet underwear absorbs heavy bladder leaks faster then the leading brand, so you can feel comfortably dry. plus always discreet has a discreet fit that hugs your curves. you barely feel it. new always discreet underwear. now bladder leaks can feel like no big deal. because, hey, pee happens. it s one of the most amazing things we build and it doesn t even fly. we build it in classrooms and exhibit halls, mentoring tomorrow s innovators. we build it raising roofs, preserving habitats and serving america s veterans. every day, thousands of boeing volunteers help make their communities the best they can be. building something better for all of us. testimony resumes monday in the death penalty trial of admitted boston marathon bombinger dzhokar tsarnaev. so far 50 witnesses have told their stories. the images of human suffering they have shared are so heart wrenching that many in the courtroom gasp or everyone, you know have tears. cnn s debra for rick has more. reporter: fred people in the courtroom were on the edge of their seats listening to the calm understated testimony of a man who lead investigators to the marathon bombers. possibly preventing another attack. these are the images the jury saw last. carjacked by the boston bombers. racing away from his captors. franticly begging a store clerk to call 9-1-1 before crawling to a storeroom to hide. they have guns. they want to shoot me. it was the break boston had been waiting for since the marathon attack three days earlier. he testified that tamer lynn pointed a gun at him and asked do you know the boston marathon explosion? i did it and i just killed a policeman in cambridge. that policeman was shot six times. once between the eyes. surveillance video shows two shadowy figures identified as the brothers approaching the cruiser. the brake lights flashed as the brothers tried to steal collier s gun. the confrontation lasts 50 seconds before the brothers run away. it sounds like somebody is hitting a trash can really loud. prosecutors laid out their case in pain staking detail showing the jury how the investigation unfolded. with the fbi releasing these images of the suspected bombers. two men in baseball hats carrying backpacks walking together through marathon crowds. dzhokar stops first taking his place behind several families and children. his brother walks to the finish line where he stands just below the red and white flag. several minutes later at 2:49 p.m. he calls his brother and then [ [ explosion ] then dzhokar begins to quickly move away from the backpack he left on the ground. as his bomb detonates energy seems to push him forward. the wounded lay shattered torn open on the ground. three people are dead. 30 are so severely wounded they are clinging to life. the jury heard from trauma nurse who saw her husband s detached leg and tried to help him not realizing she herself was on fire. prosecutors showed her burned clothing. it matches my scars, she testified, both of her legs now am amputated. then 23 minutes after the terror attack across the charles river in cambridge, dzhokar tsarnaev enters the whole foods and pays cash for a half gallon of milk. that night he tweets ain t no love in the heart of the city. stay safe people. within 72 hours his brother will be dead and dzhokar will be hiding in a dry dock boat writing a manifesto explaining why he and his brother did what they did. dzhokar tsarnaev s lawyers have barely cross examined any of the witnesses and didn t dispute any of the images linked to the car-jacking or the shooting. thank you so much. straight ahead the body cam video that shows the rescue of baby lily. she was trapped in a car for up to 14 hours. hear the reaction from the rescuers as they find her. coming up. i ve lived my whole life here in fairbanks, alaska. i love the outdoors, spending time with my family. i have a family history of prostate cancer. i had the test done and that was when i got the news. my wife and i looked at treatment options. cancer treatment centers of america kept coming up on the radar. so we flew to phoenix. greg progressed excellently. we proceeded to treat him with hormonal therapy, concurrent with intensity modulated radiation therapy to the prostate gland. go to cancercenter.com to learn more about our integrative therapies and how they re specifically designed to keep you strong mentally, physically and spiritually throughout your treatment. i feel great today i m healthy, i have never been in a happier place, i can t imagine being treated anyplace else. fighting cancer has given me opportunities to live. i think i chose extremely well. call or go to cancercenter.com. cancer treatment centers of america. care that never quits. appointments available now.

[announcer] visit your local retailer and discover how tempur-pedic can move you. to a religious document that many christians have never heard of gospel of judas. tomorrow night our new cnn series finding jesus taking a look at the manuscript. it could hold new revelations about judas betrayal and the life of jesus. jesus wanted to be sacrificed. he asked judas to betray him and judas says why me? he said because you re the closest to me. i beg you to do it. ly understands what is happening. he s helping jesus. he knows that because of what he has to do he s going to be hated forever. forever. judas is doing what jesus wants him to do. look god sent jesus to die for the sins of mankind. someone has to betray him. someone has to fulfill this mission. jesus is saying i have to die on the cross in order to do what i was sent here to do. wow. i want to bring in the chairman of the department of religion and arcologist featured in the series finding jesus . it s a very different story, you know the gospel of judas. how did this come about? the gospel of judas surfaced on the anticty market several years ago. it doesn t come from a controlled archaeological excavation. that s the first of the interesting problems it presents. it s in terrible condition. it wasn t taken proper care of. so there are places where it s impossible to read the text. where we can read it scholars disagree on what it actually says. but what it might say is that judas was doing what jesus wanted. that he s not the bad guy. but instead a good guy. the hero? hero might be a bit of an overstatement, but he was doing what jesus wanted. this is unprecedented in early christian history before. there was even any doubt from you all, the film makers that this is real authentic. it is a story worth telling? did you all feel at all reticent? no i think the public really enjoys seeing what the cutting edge of scholarship is. it s but my students at the college speak are like this. you show them where the i think of our knowledge is and they get interested. this is the edge of our knowledge. the gospel of jewudas is not likely to be a forgery. but figuring out what it means is complicated. what has hat journey been like? most people like they know. they have the answers. they read the bible. they have read the history books. they listened to scholars such as yourself but now this series has been rather enlightening for many who thought they knew it all. it has been precisely because we re asking these questions that aren t often put out there in public. what was the relationship between john the baptist and jesus? we talked about that last week. and this week judas maybe not a bad guy? now, of course there is evidence and logic that we re going to invite the viewers to think about with us. for example, the gospel of judas comes from 300 years after jesus and judas. does a document that is that late tell us much about what happened 300 years earlier? maybe. maybe not. all right. this has been exciting. you have four more installments or three? judas and three more. wow! and personally for you, has it been rewarding? it s very rewarding. i enjoy the chance to talk to the general public about what i can get to do. it s always fun. fantastic. we re learning a lot. byron mccain, thank you so much. watch finding jesus tomorrow night 9:00 eastern time on cnn. what a pleasure. we ll be right back. bring us your baffling. bring us your audacious. we want your sticky notes, sketchbooks, and scribbles. let s pin em to the wall. kick em around. kick em around, see what happens. because we re in the how-do-i-get-this-startup- off-the-ground business. the taking-your-business- global-business. we re in the problem-solving business. 400,000 people - ready to help you solve problems while they re still called opportunities. from figuring it out to getting it done we re here to help.
