with very contentious topics. the white house is worried about what benjamin netanyahu may reveal to congress about a possible u.s./iran nuclear deal. we are concerned by reports that suggest selective details of the ongoing negotiations will be discussed publicly in the coming days. i want to say clearly that doing so would make it more difficult to reach the goal that israel and others say they share. in order to get a good deal. the united states had been providing our israeli allies regular detailed classified briefings to give them the proper context about the progress that we re making in the context of these conversations. the release of that information would betray the trust between our allies and it certainly is inconsistent with the behavior of trusted allies. mr. obama and mr. netanyahu have very different ideas about what a potential iran nuclear deal might actually accomplish. reporter: president obama sought to preempt the israeli leader s speech to congress saying a deal with iran is the best way to keep israel safe. if they do agree to it, it would be far more effective in controlling their nuclear program than any military action we could take any military action israel could take and far more effective than sanctions. reporter: and he accused the prime minister of never giving the negotiations with iran a real chance. prime minister netanyahu made all sorts of claims. this was going to be a terrible deal. this was going to result in iran getting $50 billion worth of relief. iran would not abide by the agreement. none of that has come true. reporter: now the israeli leader is hours away from launching a full-out assault on obama s policy towards iran. prime minister netanyahu said he s not attacking the president. 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. reporter: he spoke to a friendly audience to dial down tensions but his remarks to congress will be provocative. aids say the prime minister will lay out what he knows about the iranian nuclear agreelts on the table and warn about the dangers to israel, the u.s. and the world if the deal goes forward. israel and the united states agree that iran should not have nuclear weapons, but we disagree on the best way to prevent iran from developing those weapons. reporter: netanyahu will also press the obama administration to push back the march 24th deadline for a political framework, allowing more time for negotiations on a tougher deal. the white house put out its ambassador to the united nations to assure allies and friends that the u.s. will take whatever steps are necessary to protect its close ally. we believe diplomacy is the preferred route to secure our shared aim. reporter: but even the president handicapped the chances of a deal. it is probably still more likely than not that iran doesn t get to yes, but i think that in fairness to them they have been serious negotiators. and they ve got their open politics inside of iran. it is more likely that we could get a deal now than perhaps three or five months ago. but there are still some big gaps that have to be filled. the u.s. president there finishing the report. and now coverage of mr. netanyahu s speech begins 10:00 washington time less than nine hours from now. and later this hour we ll hear from a congressional republican who plans on attending the speech and a democrat who says he ll skip it. in the meantime the u.s. secretary of state and his iranian counterpart are back in switzerland working on nuclear talks with other world powers as well. mohamed sareef offered up what needs to happen. our negotiating partners particularly the united states must once and for all come to the political understanding that sanctions and agreement don t go together. if they want an agreement, sanctions must go. sanctions, they have to realize are not an asset, have never been an asset. they re a liability. and this liability, the sooner they remove this liability from the table the sooner we get to an agreement. diplomats have given themselves until late march to come up with a framework for a pact. the shooting of an unarmed homeless man by the lapd is raising a lot of questions. you can see a group of officers there at the top of your screen. they say the man that they encountered was suspected of a robbery. and in this cell phone video, can you see the man, he s known simply as africa. he gets taken to the ground. police say africa reached for an officer s gun and was then shot. the lapd chief says there is evidence to prove it and it appears his officers did everything they could to defuse the situation. this is an awful tragedy. but the officers took on the face of it, reasonable steps to avoid it. had the individual not grabbed the officer s pistol certainly, we would not be having this discussion. and the man who shot the cell phone video says he did not see africa as he s known, reach for the officer s gun. meanwhile, investigators are analyzing images from two police body cameras as well as that cell phone. our jason carroll took the recording to an audio expert to see what it might reveal. here it is. [ gunshots ] reporter: key to the investigation in the lapd shooting will not be just what the officers did, but what they say. paul ginsburg is a recorded evidence specialist. he s been in the listening business for 40 years. think of him as an audio archaeologist, a man who digs for sound. it s a puzzle. each of my cases is a puzzle. reporter: first listen to a portion of that amateur video captured bay bystander in its original form. [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. [ gunshots ] that s a lot of noise. but it sounds to me like you can hear someone saying drop the gun in that. yes, and it will be much more prominent after we subtract out all of the background sounds. reporter: now listen again this time to the enhanced version. some of the am by ents sound has been suppressed. background sounds minimized. listen again. drop the gun! reporter: and again. drop the gun! reporter: the enhanced version was run through a sophisticated computer program which shows five distinct so-called markers for the sound of gunshots. so there you can very clearly hear what five shots? i hear five shots. i hear them and i see them. reporter: each one of these spikes here that s one of the gunshots. right. one shot two three, four, and five. reporter: that s what those spikes are here. these are markers. reporter: but is there even more here? police say the officer shot the suspect during a struggle after the man reached for an officer s gun. you can hear the young officer who is the, is primarily engaged in the confrontation saying that he has my gun. he has my gun. reporter: the los angeles police department made it very clear that it appeared to them they definitely heard one of their officers saying he has my gun, he has my gun. it might very well be here. reporter: we listened to the enhanced audio again. okay. i ve heard the word gun four times. yeah, you can hear the word gun. it comes out. reporter: when we listen to it more closely you can hear the word gun four times, meaning someone is using the word two more times. the use of the word gun barely audible. but who says it? the man on the ground or the police? it s unclear like so much in the case. jason carroll, cnn, new york. you clearly hear the word gun , but equally important is it s so difficult to make out what s happening visually. you can t really make out what s going on. early days in the investigation. notice meantime the mayor of cleveland, ohio is apologizing for a document that blames a 12 year old boy for his own death. tamir rice was playing with a toy gun in a park when officers shot him within seconds after arriving on scene. the officers say they did not know the gun was fake. the city said tamir s death was caused by his own failure to exercise due care to avoid injury. the mayor admits the wording was insensitive. tamir s mother says there s no excuse the. this is not the character of the city of cleveland, this is not to be that insensitive to family or even to victims. it s not our character our personality. and so once it became known to me that this had happened then we immediately went to how can we correct this. the whole world seen the same video like i seen. and i m sure the whole world is saying you guys never gave him a chance. so with that being said it could never be justified. that boy was just 12 years old. in the meantime the rice family there you see his mother. they said they want an apology for the officers lack of training. meanwhile, u.s. president obama is taking on deadly shootings. he met with a task force he appointed in response to several killings of unarmed black men. deadly killings are being investigated by independent prosecutors. mr. obama says his administration will review the recommendation. there s still no recommendation for anyone to collect the number of police shootings throughout the entire country. funeral services will begin in moscow for boris nemtsov. he was shot four times in the back while walking across a bridge near the kremlin. no one has been arrested. police are looking for someone who stands roughly 175 centimeters tall. he has dark hair they described him as wearing blue jeans and a brown sweater, relatively vague still. investigators are offering a nearly $50,000 reward. conspiracy theories are swirling around nemtsov s death. investigators are also looking into the possibility that the opposition itself may have actually been behind this killing. ivan watson walks us through nemtsov s final steps. take a listen. reporter: the staff here at the liberal russian radio station is in mourning for boris nemtsov. he gave thousands and thousands of media interviews throughout his long political career. his final interview took place in this studio. hours later, he was murdered friday night. the focus of his conversation was the war in neighboring ukraine. created by the russian government crisis and boris nemtsov spoke about the need of reforms of democratic reforms, political reforms, to stop the war. reporter: after the interview, nemtsov came here to moscow s iconic red square. it was after 9:30. he met his ukrainian girlfriend and they came to this upscale restaurant to have dinner. after 11:00 at night, nemtsov and his girlfriend came out of restaurant and walked through red square. now you ve got lenin s tomb. and presumably they would have walked over here which houses the office of the president putin. red square is arguably one of the most closely monitored, heavily-guarded places in all of russia. and it s here on this bridge that just meters away in the red brick walls of the kremlin that nemtsov took his final steps around 11:30 on friday. he was walking here with his girlfriend when at least one unknown attacker fired a series of shots through his back killing him, almost instantly. and leaving the world with this burning question who killed boris nemtsov? that was our ivan watson reporting. a lot of people have their suspicions. we want to make it clear we still don t know who exactly was behind that killing. russian police questioned nemtsov s girlfriend extensively about the killing. a ukrainian official says she has flown home to kiev. the latest in the battle for tikrit. plus the only woman on death row in the united states georgia, has her execution postponed. we ll explain why just ahead. try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief. literally as i speak, there is a major offensive under way. government forces are trying to gain back control of the city of tikrit from isis. they are fighting to dislodge the islamic group. and as ben wedeman reports, they re also getting help from iran. reporter: the attempt by iraq to re-take the town of tikrit from isis is well underway. according to iraqi media reports, there may be as many as 30,000 iraqi soldiers police men, sunni tribal leaders as well as fighters with the shia popular mobilization unit involved in this offensive. and the iraqi media says the army and the other militias have been able to take some territory to the south of tikrit. now what s interesting is the level of iranian involvement in this operation. the head of the elite iranian kutz force is reportedly in the area. he is playing a supervisory role in this offensive. in addition to that there are apparently lyly iranian drooptroops on the ground. according to some reports they are using artillery. a pentagon official said the iraqis did not ask for any advice on this operation and that there have been no coalition air strikes in the area. the only air strikes have been by the iraqi air force itself. the iraqi officials say this operation could take as long as ten days but it could be an even longer slog than that. tikrit is a town of around 200,000 people the majority are sunni arabs. many of them hostile to the central government in baghdad, and of course isis has a significant presence in that city. it s already well-known that they have sown the city with ieds and booby traps. this could go on for quite some time. i m ben wedeman reporting from erbil. and this is crucial for them to take back mosul later this year. and if they do what sort of blow will that deliver to isis. a woman set to die by lethal injection in the u.s. state of georgia has had her execution postponed. she was scheduled to dimon evening. but before that could happen the drugs used in the procedure were sent to a lab for potency testing. corrections officials say the drugs appeared cloudy and out of caution the execution was postponed. she was convicted of plotting her husband s death in 1997. and only 15 women have been executed in the united states since 1977. and we think this could be the first in georgia if it goes ahead, since 1948. members of a canadian church are worried about their pastor who hasn t come back from a humanitarian trip to north korea. he entered at the end of january. he was supposed to return to canada february 4. now the toronto-based church says he has made more than 100 trips to north korea. the canadian government is now trying to help find the reverend. venezuela is now telling the u.s. to down size its staff from 100 to 17. the foreign minister says washington will have 15 days to decide which employees can stay. the diplomatic rift between the countries has been widening in recent months. and right maui arenow we are going to take a short break. also this skydiver loses consciousness before he can pull his parachute. the dramatic moment caught on video. we ll have a lot more on that when we come back. 83% try to eat healthy. yet up to 90% of us fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let s do more, together. add one a day. complete with key nutrients we may need. plus, for women, physical energy support with b vitamins. and for men, it helps support healthy blood pressure with vitamin d and magnesium. take one a day multivitamins. well the last time the nasdaq was are we doing the nasdaq now? there are the asia pacific stock markets, right across the board. not the case for the nasdaq though. the last time the nasdaq closed this high you probably had dial up. and in between, we saw the dotcom rush. and a record-setting bull run. let s go through some key facts. tripled. that s what the nasdaq has nearly done since hitting its low in 2009. i-sized. apple is now the most valuable country on nasdaq. it s worth more than google and microsoft combined. and 2.4% is all that s needed to break the record. this video made my heart stop when i saw it earlier today. an australian skydiver loses consciousness midair and the terrifying moments are caught on video. you and about 10 million other people who have watched it over the last 24 hours. just after jumping out of the plane, christopher jones had a seizure. his instructor was able to grab hold of him and deploy the chute. jones shared this with the world by youtube on sunday. the instructor joins us on the phone. thank you for being with us. how did you know christopher was in trouble? did you realize he was having a seizure? caller: hello. i didn t realize he was having a seizure. the aircraft he was facing me and it was supposed to be the first part of the turn. his shoulders went forward, he rolled onto his back and i wasn t sure what was going on at the time. i thought he was using incorrect technique or suffering from a little bit of sensory overload and was trying to give him every opportunity to correct his position. but at that point, i was completely unaware of what was going on. then you realized something s not right and you decide you need to get over to him. how does that process work? and how much time did you have to reach him before it was beyond the point of no return? caller: well there s not really a point of no return. there s no point of no rush. it s just a matter of time he had under the parachute and the reliability of mechanisms to open the parachute. i watched him for a while, giving him an opportunity to become stable. he wasn t responding. he wasn t trying to correct his position. so i went down and stopped, caught hold and had to pull his parachute. now christopher has epilepsy. but he was cleared by his doctor to take part in these jumps. have you actually had a chance to question the doctor s judgment? caller: why would anybody question a doctor s judgment? he peace a s a specialist. and he had all his paperwork and he was fit and healthy. since this incident sheldon, have you been back to the doctor and said hey there s a problem here? caller: no i don t think anybody has. maybe the manager of the skydive operation that i am in at the moment might have but nobody s questioned it. it will in future you know from anybody with any epilepsy or condition likewise comes to our operation by all means will never be allowed to jump. but he was four years without a seizure. he was fit and healthy. it was actually his fifth jump that he was doing when that actually happened. he d been a model student up to that point. i was talking to one of the instructors. he d been great. he s about halfway sorry, he s about halfway through his license to become a licensed jumper. is there anyway any chance he can actually finish? or is this just all over for christopher right now? caller: unfortunately, jumping by himself is out of the question now. if it happened it could happen again. we will never take that chance again. but he has indicated that he s pretty keen to do a tandem jump where he would be strapped to another instructor, and we d have him tethered to us and take him for a jump. but i don t think we ll let him do this by himself again, to be honest. what an incredible day that was, really. i know sheldon says that the chute would have deployed anyway. any temptation i ever had to go skydiving literally went up in smoke today. i m not doing that. luckily, i ve not had any. the u.s. and israel are allies but it doesn t feel that way now. i was like really close. i could feel the vibration from the gunshots. that man recorded a controversial police shooting in los angeles. coming up how his story differs from the one the police are telling. stay with us. for our viewers in the united states and all around the world, thanks for staying with us. i m john vause. and i m zain asher. let s get straight to the headlines. the white house is wanting israel s prime minister not to reveal any secrets to congress on tuesday. benjamin netanyahu plans to outline what he believes is the beginning of a pact with iran. now mr. netanyahu and president obama disagree on how to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons. iraqi army is trying to overtake tikrit. it would pave the way to retake mosul, the country s second largest city. and in the meantime in moscow funeral services for boris nemtsov will begin in less than an hour. the former deputy prime minister was gunned down while walking across a bridge near the kremlin friday night. his killer or killers still remain at large. benjamin netanyahu got a welcome from thousands of people. but things are still a little chilly on capitol hill hours before the israeli prime minister s speech to congress. here s our michelle kosinski with more. reporter: israeli prime minister netanyahu greeted here like a rock star. a crowd of 16,000 yet on this visit to washington he will not share so much as a phone call with the white house. which wasn t even told about the invitation from republican house speaker john boehner. president obama, we learned today, did not watch netanyahu s address, nor will likely watch his big speech tomorrow before a joint session of congress. the prime minister right away addressed this strangeness. 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. reporter: his goal made very clear. iran vows to annihilate israel. if it develop the nuclear weapons, it would have the means to achieve that goal. we must not let that happen. reporter: complete with a chart he brought showing the tentacles of terror in five continents. but samantha power has essentially said the same thing. the united states of america will not allow iran to obtain a nuclear weapon period. reporter: they seem to agree. yet the tension still came out even today. the white house upset that israel has and might continue to leak out purported details of the top-secret nuclear negotiations with iran which israel has worried will be too lenient. the release of that information would betray the trust between our allies and it certainly is inconsistent with the behavior of trusted alilyiesallies. in the meantime mr. netanyahu has insisted that his speech to congress is not to inject any partisanship. but there are at least 49 democrats who say they will skip mr. netanyahu s speech. they say they re protesting the prime minister s appearance as an affront to the president. one of the dozens of democratic lawmaker whose plan not to attend the speech is john yarmouth. while a republican to the left of screen will be there with every republican member of congress. both in separate studios. congressman yarmouth do you have a problem with the speech? i have a problem with the fact that speaker boehner invited prime minister netanyahu to come two weeks before the israeli elections and specifically invited him to sabotage the administration s efforts to negotiate a settlement to the iran nuclear situation. he explicitly said that. he said i m not going to sit by and do nothing. and he invited netanyahu to come by and refute the administration position. so i have a very serious objection to that. the issue should not be whether any individual or 50 individuals attend or don t attend the speech. the question is should is this appropriate? where you invite a foreign leader basically to come over and undermine the foreign policy of the united states and then secondly the substance of the issue, which i think is the most important thing, and that is if we can get a deal diplomatically to put a halt to iran s nuclear ambitions then why shouldn t we do that. okay. hold that point. let s go to representative zelen. that is not a bad point. the prime minister has every right to talk to congress about an issue that threatens the very existence of his country, why not dough lay this speech for a couple weeks after the israeli election and get bipartisan support for his speech. the problem is that the deadline that the obama administration has set for these talks is march 24 which is just one week after the israeli elections. so in terms of the negotiations with iran, there is a widespread support for a good deal. there s concern about the u.s. and iran entering into a bad deal. many people such as myself would say that a bad deal would be worse than no deal at all. even if the president agrees with you on that. as far as the timing goes though you can t wait two more weeks after the elections, because the u.s. and iran well the u.s. is trying to close the deal before that. do you think israel will be safer, representative zeldon after the speech? because many in the military services do not. they believe iran will be closer to a nuclear weapon. and in some ways does that mean that the republicans have helped iran here? it s important that any deal reached with iran is not allowing iran to pursue urge enrichment maintaining several thousand centrifuges. if they aren t allowing inspectors to come in for transparency, that would be concerning. if the obama administration is to announce a deal and 24 hours the members of the iranian government are refuting the terms of that deal that would be concerning and something else too, is for the u.s. to be making a slough of permanent concessions in exchange for temporary concessions. so the dedevil s really going to be in the details. i m all in favor to prevent iran from having nuclear capability. i just don t support a bad deal. can you blame the israeli prime minister for taking this opportunity to address congress? after all, he has a point that the iranians have been on fuse casing. even the iaea said they haven t come clean from the nuclear program almost a year and a half ago. i don t blame him for accepting. if i were a politician well i am a politician. if i was invited to an event that advanced my police calkal political interests, i would stupid not to. i would have ample opportunity to express my concerns about the negotiations but i don t want to turn this into a partisan divisive event, which it already has done. do i fault him for accepting the invitation? no. i fault speaker boehner for making the invitation and for representing it as a bipartisan invitation which it was not. that was in the letter that he sent to prime minister netanyahu. so i think prime minister netanyahu s acting like any politician would. he has a campaign in a close race. he has two weeks to go sure take a shot. i was in the house in 2011 when he spoke. and then i saw in 2013 how he used that appearance in his campaign spots. so i know what he s about, and he s going to do that again. i didn t want to be a prop in a netanyahu campaign spot. let s go back to congressman lee zeldon. how much damage has been done because of this invitation by john boehner, and is there any regrets on the republican side that the u.s./israeli alliance has become political? the american people stand strong with the israeli people. there is obviously, concern, security concerns for our nation s strongest ally. we have a great allies all across the world. in my opinion none stronger than our relationship with israel. what s important is the substance of what the prime minister has to say. it s important that america s foreign policy moving forward is strong and consistent. i ve spoken to colleagues on the other side of the aisle who also share my concerns for not only having a strong relationship with israel but ensuring that the negotiations with iran share similar goals as to what i outlined a little while ago. talking to colleagues who are democrats. it s just unfortunate, though that foreign policy is not exactly the president s foreign policy, which is a great opportunity for them talking to the leader of their party who happens to be the most powerful person in the world. okay. we will leave it there. last word there to lee zeldon and john yarmouth from kentucky. realistically, how close is iran from a nuclear weapon? they ve been a year away from a nuclear bomb for the last ten years. exactly. we re going to take a short break. the video of the man being shot in los angeles. hey, girl. is it crazy that your soccer trophy is talking to you right now? it kinda is. it s as crazy as you not rolling over your old 401k. cue the horns. just harness the confidence it took you to win me and call td ameritrade s rollover consultants. they ll help with the hassle by guiding you through the whole process step by step. and they ll even call your old provider. it s easy. even she could do it. whatever, janet. for all the confidence you need td ameritrade. you got this. esurance was born online. which means fewer costs, which saves money. their customer experience is virtually paperless which saves paper, which saves money. they have smart online tools so you only pay for what s right for you which saves money. they settle claims quickly which saves time, which saves money. they drive an all-hybrid claims fleet which saves gas, which saves money. they were born online, and built to save money, which means when they save, you save. because that s how it should work in the modern world. esurance. backed by allstate. click or call. now?

i don t know how much of the officer s gun was removed from his hollister.ster. reporter: did i see him reach for an officer s gun? while he was on the ground being tased, i didn t see him reach for an officer s gun. reporter: blackburn says he was passing by on his way to visit his son. instead, he and others on the street ended up witnessing a homicide. why do you blame the officers?

they planned to hijack a jet liner and force it to fly to isis territory. agents say one talked about assassinating president obama. here s what we know about the suspects. one of them is a 24-year-old from kazakhstan. pamela brown reports. reporter: the fbi says one of the men arrested today boasted about wanting to kill president obama and blow up coney island in new york city. another man proposed shooting police and fbi agents. a plan they allegedly said they would put into place if they weren t able to join isis in syria. two of the individuals were seeking to fly to syria. one was arrested at the international airport at jfk as he was getting ready to board that flight. a second individual had a later flight scheduled. reporter: prosecutors point to conversations on line including one last summer which one wrote about his desire to shoot obama and then get shot ourselves. that will strike fear in the heart of infidels. that brought fbi agents to his front door. they came as members of the joint terrorism task force, they identified them as such. reporter: even after being interviewed by fbi they investigators say they began coordinating travel to turkey often seen as a gateway into syria. to prove a conspiracy you only have to show that there s been a material effort or forward step in furtherance of the conspiracy. and clearly, those communications would indicate that there s been a forward step in the conspiracy. reporter: in court documents released both suspects purchased round trip tickets to turkey. they said if they were defected at the airport, they could kill a police officer and shoot other officers with the gun. more on this story later this hour and we ll speak with one expert how isis is using social media better than any other terror group has done before and luring young people from all around the world. the human rights activist who said isis kidnapped 150 syrian christians is now expecting a message soon about their fate. also syrian activists say an australian fighting with kurdish forces has been killed in a battle against isis. plus jordan is increasing security at shopping malls as well based on what the u.s. is calling credible threats. here s our barbara starr with more. reporter: iraq says their defense forces have nearly liberated al baghdadi the town in western iraq that isis has gripped for weeks. it s just a few miles from the air base where hundreds of american troops are on a training mission. for now, a victory for iraqi units. just outside irbil, italian, german and dutch troops training front line peshmerga forces. it s still unclear whether the next big battle will be to retake mosul, iraq s second largest city. amid worry iraqi forces still are not ready. if you go in there, it s going to be tough fighting and if you lose, or even if you have a stalemate, it looks like a victory for isis. reporter: iraqi forces could first take on isis in western iraq, which is less populated. but still an area with isis threats. a crucial hurdle for iraqi success, the need to include shia sunni and peshmerga fighters. it s going to be important that baghdad get its act together that the iraqi army get its act together as a multisectarian force. reporter: iraqi forces say they blew up these isis tunnels fighters were using to reach government buildings in the western city of ramadi. elsewhere, isis still on a brutal offensive. activists are reporting in northern syria, 150 christians kidnapped and threatened with execution after isis swept through several villages. secretary of state john kerry says isis will have to be confronted directly on the ground across syria. a number of countries in the region have spoken of their willingness under the right circumstances to commit troops to that effort. reporter: in jordan the u.s. embassy advising citizens to avoid shopping malls due to credible threats. and as isis threats continue to churn online the pentagon working on classified efforts to challenge isis in cyberspace tracking its encrypted web and social media accounts. that work is just beginning and because it s live and we re in a wartime situation, that s not going to be an area we can talk about in a lot of detail. reporter: on that upcoming ground battle if u.s. forces are going to be involved president obama is going to need to see a recommendation from the u.s. military in the coming days. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. many thanks to our barbara starr for our report. we are also following some news out of afghanistan. the taliban has claimed responsibility for an explosion outside the iranian embassy in kabul thursday morning. this is a new video just coming in. you can see smoke pouring out of that vehicle. a police spokesman says a

inches. even some hikers out there enjoying the scene on wednesday afternoon in northern georgia. about 600 flights canceled out of jackson and atlanta. still seeing snow showers around nashville. northern georgia, things beginning to taper off. the last bout of some light snow could still fall across this region over the next several hours, but it s moving off to the east. take a look the temperature is just too warm around the city. but just north everyone below freezing. so that s where the heaviest snowfall came down across this region. the storm quickly moves off the eastern seaboard with drier weather expected to return and colder temperatures as well. so winter is still kicking on in the eastern u.s. so there s no snow in downtown atlanta right now. so i did not need to spend the night in the hotel. i m so proud of myself, because i came to work five hours early today. still to come here on cnn, it appears to be quiet in eastern ukraine as a cease-fire begins to take

that was benjamin netanyahu there. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is cautioning and to wait and see what negotiations produce. i regrettably can t talk about it as much as i would love to talk about it because we don t have a deal yet. and so i am not going to go into great lengths and detail here for that reason and i would caution others not to be running around combatting the deal that hasn t been made. republican house speaker john boehner invited mr. netanyahu to washington. but he did not consult the white house. some u.s. democratic lawmakers plan to skip the prime minister s address next week because they say it will directly oppose diplomatic efforts with iran. meantime three al jazeera journalists have been arrested for flying drones over paris. but the city s

as the market gross, so do the number of people with access to drones including those who seek to do harm from above. will ripley cnn, new york. regulators need to come up with advancing drone technology. they have been behind the curve. the technology often gets in front of the regulations, that s the problem. some of the biggest names in music gathered in london wednesday night. it was a big night. it was the final number getting all of the attention. how the mighty have fallen. reporter: her performance was sure to be dramatic. but 20 years since madonna last performed on this stage, fell flat. though she took a nasty tumble following a wardrobe malfunction. soon she was calming the nerves of her millions of followers, telling her that her cape was tied too tight. even before the show, she was the star attraction. celebration, come together in every nation like a virgin you must trust within you the beast that s forever dying. reporter: before her falling, it started out as the battle of the british boys. with sam smith, and george ezra facing off in the top categories. the fans turned out for selfies and autographs. but everybody wondered which englishman would come out on top. five-time grammy winner sam was very complimentary about ed. how much competition is there between you two? or is it more as a bromance? i adore him as a person and friend and i really want him to walk away with that thing. reporter: they took two each of the statues. the show itself was sprinkled with star dust quite literally. in the case of taylor swift s performance. kanye west was a late addition to the bill and whipped fans into a frenzy when he dropped in a restaurant on his way to the show. it was his performance that set the stage alight. surrounded by modern dancers and fiery flame throwers. a night of heart stopping performances. of course the twitter verse lit up after madonna s fall. most of the messages seem to be sympathetic, but there were a couple of mean ones as well. cher tweeted, this is something we all dread. i give you props. you are a champ for finishing. i couldn t agree more. piers morgan any way, he tweeted out, ambulance for granny please. not very nice. boy george shot back at all the trolls. he said that was a hard fall, but she got on with it. all these comments about her being so old, so lame. i agree. she s 56. but the fact that she did that dance and did those movements, good on her. she is 56. after we saw the video in the newsroom we decided to show other videos of celebrity falling down. there is jennifer lawrence slipping on the red carpet last year. this spill came one year after j-lo tripped in the middle of the oscar ceremony while accepting the award for best actress. conan o brien took a tumble while recording this sketch right here back in 2009. he suffered a slight ouch! concussion. and then there s beyonce. i remember this. she tripped and fell while walking down. she barely missed a beat. such a

fate of their syrian christian relatives, now in the hands of isis. stay with us. welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. just after 1:30 here on the east coast of the u.s. i m john vause. and i m zain asher. three men are facing terror charges in new york for plans to hijack a jet liner and join isis. the fbi says one of the men talked about assassinating president obama. two of the suspects planned to fly to turkey on wednesday. the third man helped organize and finance the operation. it appears a cease-fire in eastern ukraine is starting to take hold. russian separatists have begun to withdraw heavy weapons from the front line but ukraine s military will wait a little longer but no reports of combat casualties on wednesday. the taliban are claiming responsibility for a blast in kabul. the explosion killed at least one person and injured another. a police spokesman says a suicide bomber blew up a car after kraushing into another vehicle. returning now to our top story. the three men charged with providing material support to isis. for more, clark jones joins us. he s a counterterrorism expert. clark, thanks for being with us. the big picture here these three men appear to have been recruited online. isis capability on social media seems nothing short of remarkable. what does that tell you about the people who are running this terror group? it s probably one of the most sophisticated groups we ve been seeing. they ve been able to reach into many pockets, vulnerable areas in society, to pick up these marginalized kids all around the world. it is very it s phenomenal to be able to do it and continue to do it. one of these suspects says his lawyer says he s just a young, innocent kid, and he makes his point there s just a rush to prosecution. is that a fair thing to say? we ve seen it with the recent australian government national security statement was read out. there s been a push in many countries to jail these kids. and we re talking kids as young as 16 17 through to the mid 20s. that s the range of the type of offenders. but the worst thing we can do in many cases is put them into jail. jail does not help these people. if we re going to do anything about this terrorism threat we need to look at how we counter extremism, and what sort of intervention programs we develop. once they re in jail, it s very difficult. so we can look at diversionary programs. i think that s a good strategy. clark jones for us there in australia. we re going to take a short break. when we come back fox news host bill o reilly is on the defensive again, and he has some choice words for his accuser. stay with us. my goal was to finally get in shape. not to be focusing again, on my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance on humira. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. 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. set a new goal today. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. i already feel like we re the most connected but i think this solo date will seal the deal. sure! i offer multi-car, safe driver, and so many other discounts that people think i m a big deal. and boy, are they right. ladies, i can share hundreds in savings with all of you! just visit progressive.com today. but right now, it s choosing time. ooh! we have a winner. all: what? [chuckles] he s supposed to pick one of us. this is a joke, right? that was the whole point of us being here. welcome back, everyone. we have more now on the assyrian christians kidnapped by isis. activists fear they may soon be facing death and a family in california knows that fear all too well. they are anxiously waiting for news on 12 family members now among 150 christians said to have been taken by isis on tuesday. they came at 4:00 in the morning and attacked them and took them away. we heard it was like a sea of black uniforms marching through the villages burning down the churches, desecrating the crosses and wreaking havoc. one of the activists who reported on that mass kidnapping is the founder of the assyrian human rights network and joins us live now from copenhagen denmark. so assama it s been a couple of days since they were kidnapped in northeast syria. the number of people kidnapped get on getting higher. what are you hearing from your sources on the ground? the number is increasing since yesterday night, because isis is taking over more and more new villages and towns, assyrian towns. i have a list of names. i can read it for you. situation is deteriorating and the number are increasing. so they re taking over more towns, kidnapping more assyrian christians. so i m just curious, what has been the defense strategy for the assyrian christians so far? how have they tried in the past to defend themselves from isis? there s some local forces called the guards of habor. those guards have been involved in protecting the village and the properties the houses particularly the civilians. so that was mainly their job. but when they were attacked by isis they didn t know how to face it because they ve not trained or experienced. they re not a militia member. they were just doing their job as police you can say, local police guarding the cities. so they re relatively peaceful. i know some of them were fighting alongside the syrian kurds, the ypg. the remaining assyrian christians in that region i understand they fled. i understand some of them are holed up in a cathedral. what are you hearing about them? are they safe right now? yeah they re safe. the number is increasing more and more. yesterday night, the latest numbers we get from them was 1,050 families. so we are talking actually about more than 6,000, at least 5,000, 6,000 people who are displaced. so they re basically in two churches churches. 150 families have left. already also some assyrian political parties, ngos and local groups aid relief groups that are taking care of them. i understand that your wife also has some relatives in that area. were they among the people who had fled and are safe or what are you hearing from them? are they okay? unfortunately, i m trying my best to be as professional as possible and objective as possible. but at the same time i m involved myself. my wife belongs to this city and i myself belong to the city. both of the cities are facing bad times. yesterday night, we are being told that there were the isis forces were using some speakers and they were playing all the night the koran. people could hear that from far away. actually yes, what i m trying to be professional and also having feeling sad, because my family the family members are really taken hostage, and we don t know what s going to happen to them are they going to face death? are they going to be released? nobody knows. yesterday night, we were called up we had been informed two of the hostages had been released. but everything disappeared, because those two hostages didn t arrive as planned to arrive to the cathedral. so this was some hope but now we don t have any hope left. so your family members or relatives have been taken hostage. i m so sorry to hear that. please keep in touch with us and let us know what happens to them. i cannot imagine what you re going through. asama edward thank you for being with us. we appreciate that. thank you. john? fox news host bill o reilly is defending himself, again, against accusations that he over overexaggerated or flat out lead about some of his reporting. he has strong ratings and the network continues to stand by him. but in the 70s and 80s he was a correspondent for cbs news. now he s defending himself against comments he made and published about the assassination of former u.s. president john f. kennedy. reporter: just as bill o reilly was trying to move on from a dispute over his war stories, the fox news host suddenly has more questions to answer. this time the scrutiny is being directed at an account of his investigation into john f. kennedy s assassination. he has said in his book killing kennedy, that in 1977 a man had been contacted by congressional investigators. o reilly a reporter for a dallas tv station, says he tracked him down in palm beach and arrived at the door of his daughter s home just as he shot himself. that account is now being called into question by several media outlets, include thing report in the huffington post. this follows a report last week in mother jones claiming bill o reilly exaggerated his reporting experiences in el salvador and while covering the 1982 faulklands war. back in the 80s, he was a young spomt for correspondent for cbs news. over the past week he s denied the allegations and attacked the magazine. this man, 56-year-old david corn who works for mother jones, smeared me your humble correspondent yesterday, saying i fabricated some war reporting. mother jones, which is low circulation, considered by many the bottom rung of journalism in america. reporter: in relation to his reporting in argentina, here is bill o reilly speaking a few years ago. all hell breaks loose, the people start to storm the averagen tine troops shoot the people out in the street. so i grab my crew away. we re shooting all this stuff. it s unbelievable. people just falling, bing bing bing. a soldier runs down the street i m there. a photographer getting trampled. so he s on the ground. i grab him and the camera and i drag him in a doorway. the soldier comes up and he s standing maybe ten feet away with the m-16 pointed at my head. reporter: this is cnn video of the riots in question. last weekend, cnn s reliable sources spoke with seven people who worked for cbs news in argentina at the time. none of them remember any civilians being killed in the riot. many of those who spoke with reliable sources still work for cbs and have requested to remain anonymous. but former cbs correspondent eric angberg is speaking out publicly. he was there at the same time as bill o reilly during the faulklands war. i did not see that happen. reporter: here he is talking on reliable sources. it wasn t a combat situation, by any sense of the word that i know. there were no people killed. he said that he saw troops fire into the crowd. i never saw that and i don t know anybody who did. and i was there on the scene. what s interesting is not only did i not hear any shots, i didn t see any ambulances or any tanks, i didn t see any armored cars. all of the things that you would have expected to see had people been shot. reporter: and the magazine is standing by its claims. here s mother jones senior editor. there was only one place that combat took place during that war, it was on the battlefield of the faulkland islands, which was 1200 miles away. part two of this is this riot that he covered. there s no question that this occurred and it got violent, that tear gas was fired and rubber bullets were fired. subsequently after he reported this in recent years, he said that soldiers fired indiscriminately on civilians and many were kid. not only are there no media reports that support this but seven cbs colleagues have come forward and said this didn t happen. we couldn t get casualty numbers. reporter: bill o reilly continues to present his evening show on fox news insisting he s done nothing wrong. o reilly is also facing another allegation that he lied about seeing a group of nuns gunned down in el salvador. he recalled telling his mother about seeing that happen in 2012. the public case media matters cites a professor who says there was no noneuns killed at that time. one first grade student had to look no further than his own classroom to find a perfect match for a kidney transfer. that story after the break. the future of prosthetics has arrived. for the first time ever amputees have been given artificial limbs which can be controlled with the mind. this video you see is from a patient in austria performing various tests with their new arms. they work by connecting the processsthetic directly to a person s nerves. the technology is not perfect, but with the right training an amputee can move the robotic limb with just their thoughts. incredible. one teacher in texas is demonstrating something that goes well above and beyond reading, writing, and math. it s a lesson in giving. one of her students desperately needed a kidney donor after his initial transfer failed. the rest of the story is nothing short of a christmas miracle. here s emily from our affiliate woai. reporter: parker searched the whole country to find matt a kidney. like right here. reporter: little did they know anyone would just submit their names. reporter: the perfect donor was in their own backyard. goldfish goldfish what do you see? reporter: lindsey painter i see a teacher looking at me. it is mind glowing. when the coordinator of the hospital called me on christmas eve to tell me i was a match. reporter: several weeks of testing later looking at us. reporter: doctors confirmed she would donate her kidney a decision she did not take lightly. i have a 10-year-old and 6-year-old at home and i can t imagine having a child with what matt is going through. reporter: his dialysis keeps him alive. yet, that 1,000 watt smile never leaves his face. once he found out that he was going to be getting a transplant he s been so giddy every day. he s so excited. reporter: it s a bond that will connect students and teachers for the rest of their lives. it will be a story to tell when he gets older. . she s just a giving person and i think it s a miracle. and lindsey painter joins us now from texas. this is such an incredible story. i guess right now, is everything on track for this transplant operation? yes, everything is on track, and we re just hoping it stays that way. we have one more cross match to go but god willing, everything will work out the way it s supposed to. getting a little nervous? i m ready. of course i m nervous. it s a major surgery. i just want everything to turn out the best possible way, but i m ready. you make it sound like this was an easy decision. when you were told that you were a match, did you pause for a moment and think, this is kind of a big deal now? oh i did. absolutely. i knew when they called and said that we were shown as a preliminary match, i had a lot to learn about what it meant for me and my lifestyle. i needed to make sure i wasn t putting my family at risk and i was making the best decision for all of us. but the more i ve learned and the more people i ve talked to at the hospital and prior donors the more comfortable i ve become. what s incredible this is sort of a 1 in 100 chance that you would be a match. matthew, this is his second transplant. yes. it s his second transplant because his body rejected one kidney. it made him much harder to match. so the hospital they described it as looking as the needle in the hey stack. they said he would match about 1% of the population. what is the prognosis once he receives the kidney and the prognosis for you? my recovery time is much easier than his. after about six weeks, i should be good to go back to normal activity. and really they just ask that you live a healthy lifestyle. there s no dietary restrictions. it seems like it s going to be very easy on my end, after recovering from the surgery. matthew, he has a longer recovery but we re hoping that once he recovers that he will be an active, healthy little boy without all the restrictions that he has now. he can go to school every day, play sports go swimming and do all of the things that he s not able to do right now. lots of teachers care about their students but this seems way beyond what anyone could expect. many people a lot of people would be asking how can you do something, which is just so incredibly selfless. for a student, not a relative a kid in your class. it is. and i have two little boys at home. so watching my little boys being a mom and being a teacher, i knew as soon as he family reached out looking for a donor, i needed to find out if i could help him. once we found out i had a lot to learn, but i just knew i needed to see if i could help him be healthy and live the life he deserves. if you have seen any pictures of him, he has that smile every day. you would never know everything that he s going through and how hard things have been because he has the most positive outlook on life and he s the happiest child you ve ever met. so to give him this gift is pretty incredible. lindsay, it was a 1 in 100 chance of a match. you have to be 1 in a million out there. and we wish you the very best of luck. thank you. that story is going to touch so many people. how generous can you be? the hospital performing his transplant is keeping their website up the one they use to search for donors. for more information on how to become a donor, logon to mattswish.com. thank you for watching. that does it for us. i m zain asher. i m john vause. stick around errol barnett and rosemary church will be up next. they re just over here. here

outskirts of tikrit. that is seen as a key step. the u.s. military says iraqi forces and tribal fighters with the support of coalition air strikes, have cleared isis from al baghdadi. that area is critical because it s near a key base where the u.s. trains iraqi troops. they also drove isis away from several villages. among all of the gains, leaders and archaeologists are condemning great loss there in iraq. the continued destruction of ancient ruins, continues to happen. the latest strategy to target the city of nimrud. they used bulldozers to destroy price ses treasures. built more than 3,000 years ago. nimrud a called city in northern iraq is the latest target of a wave of cultural vandalism by isis. the iraqi government confirms these excavations have been bulldozed by the radical islamists. it s a huge loss and tragedy for the whole of humanity. my reaction is one of anger. we do believe that the destruction of heritage, the deliberate destruction of heritage in iraq has become part of the warfare. reporter: no one knows for sure how much of this priceless piece of iraq s history has been destroyed. this side has many surprises. many fantastic objects. but unique and rare objects. i would describe nimrud as one of the exciting sites in the near east. reporter: nimrud is not the first. in the past week i.s.i.s. vandals took hammers to ancient relics in the mosul museum. rare, huge beasts guarding city gates, gone. 2,000 years of statues, ancient art embod dig its east meets west culture. i believe what is very much at stake is the destruction of the fabric of this result ral diversity. reporter: a wave of cultural nihilism that is likely far from over. there s a lot more that can be damaged. it s one of the areas world that s been occupied by societies for very long periods of time. among the longest in the world. reporter: within weeks of overrunning mosul last summer isis began destroying local shrines. looting of artifacts has been rampant, too. but the past week mosul, now nimrud is an escalation. irreversible damage. cultural annihilation. nic robertson, cnn. the chief of malaysia airlines is speaking out about losing two planes just months apart. you ll remember 370 vanished en route to beijing last march. and in july, a malaysia airlines plan was shot down over eastern ukraine. 298 people died on that flight. let s go to anna corrine who joins us in kuala lumpur. let s talk about m-370. i understand there s frustration about the timing of this interim report that s set to be released. reporter: that s right, george. that report will be released on the one-year anniversary since mh-370 disappeared. as far as the families are concerned, they say it s highly insensitive, considering the pain they are going through and are still going through one year on. no answers. no trace of this plane. no idea as to what happened to their loved ones who were onboard. family members expressing their anger. that this interim report which will be released by the malaysians. also it s made up by on national committee. onboard that committee, australia, the united states the u.k., france. they were involved because of airfrance 447 back in 2000. and china also involved as well as boeing rolls-royce. the international committee releasing their findings. it s very much a technical investigation. we re expecting a 600-page report. by all accounts george it will be released tomorrow. now, we did catch up with the chief executive officer of malaysia airlines. and he defended the airline. and its handling of the entire tragedy. he also said he knows what the families are going through because they too, lost crew members onboard. take a listen to what he had to say. they say lightning don t strike twice in the same place. but we got hit twice. i mean i could not believe i didn t believe the first time i got a call saying we lost another 777. and i said are you sure? i said just call back once you have the confirmation. i got a call half an hour later. they said, at the site of the wreckage. it was blank for a while, literally. but we got to do what we have to do. get ourself back on our feet. and deal with it. reporter: george that was mr. yahya, talking about mh-17. that happened just four months after mh-370 disappeared. malaysia airlines has obviously gone through a tumultuous time over the past 12 months. they re calling on the public to stand behind them and support them moving forward. george? leaving so many families hundreds of families in such turmoil, these two flights. anna coren, thank you for the reporting live in kuala lumpur. we ll keep tabs with you. a bomb exploded outside a bank in egypt s nile delta region. it killed at least one person. 11 others were wounded in the blast that happened near mahla al kubra. no word on who might be responsible in that explosion. in the united states the justice department said it found rampant racism in ferguson missouri s criminal justice system. the report also says there is no forensic evidence that michael brown had his hands up and was surrendering when he was killed. two officers from that police department resigned this week over racist e-mails uncovered in that investigation. a top court clerk was also fired because of the e-mails. one of the e-mails portrayed president barack obama as a chimpanzee. the e-mails were forwarded around the police department. and there are calls for the police department to be disbanded and the chief to quit. reporter: if the d.o.j. notes, those e-mails are coming from your city manager and your police chief back and forth. why are they still here? why are they allowed to still be here? i think it s important to recognize, that everybody deserves due process. what we see here right now is there is a finding from the department of justice. a finding which they say admits to probable cause, to believe these things. we re going to do due diligence and hold people accountable as necessary. people that have engaged in practices that is against the policies of the city government the elected officials and therefore the will of the people, we will take all of the appropriate action next. president obama said on friday he doesn t think ferguson s racial issues are not unique to that city alone. i don t think what happens in ferguson is typical. the overwhelming number of law enforcement officers have a really hard dangerous job. and they do it well. and they do it fairly. and they do it heroically. and i strongly believe that. we need to honor those folks. and we need to respect them and not just assume that they ve got ill will or they re doing a bad job. hearing from ferguson s mayor, they do plan to implement a number of reforms given all that s happened. remembering a very dark day in america s past. up next a personal story from one of the hundreds beaten up by police for demanding voting rights for all americans. for african-americans. plus the airline industry is on-edge after a close call involving a plane that skid off the runway earlier this week. photos are great for capturing your world. and now they can transform it. with the 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. the angie s list app is the simple, new way to get work done on your schedule. the app makes it easy, the power of angie s list makes it work. call, click or download the app for free today.

of people marched peacefully from selma, alabama, to montgomery to demand the right to vote for african-americans. police attacked the marchers. they were led by dr. martin luther king jr. that day. they attacked them with night sticks whips and even a rubber hose wrapped in barbed wire. that day lives in history, infamously known as bloody sunday. president barack obama and more than 100 members of the u.s. congress will be in selma today, to mark the anniversary of bloody sunday. another key figure in bloody sunday is u.s. congressman john lewis. he was a young man that day, marching for civil rights. he said police beat him so badly on bloody sunday his skull was fractured. and he thought he was going to die. lewis went back to the scene. and he took cnn s athena jones with him. the bridge of selma is almost a holy place. it is a place where people gave a little blood to redeem the soul of america. and this city people couldn t register to vote because of the color of their skin. so we had to change that. reporter: john lewis, who has spent almost three decades in congress was just 25 years old. i can never forget what it felt like to be on this bridge on bloody sunday. we came to the highest point. down below we saw a sea of blue alabama state troopers. and behind the state troopers we saw men on horseback. so we got within hearing distance of the state troopers. you re ordered to disperse. go home or go to your church. and they said toopers advance. i thought over and over they re going to arrest us. they came toward us beating us with night sticks. trampling us with horses. i went down on my knees. my legs were knocked from under me. i thought i was going to die. reporter: he was carried back to the church where the march had begun. it was there, he issued a challenge to president lyndon johnson. i stood up and said i don t understand it. how president johnson can send troops to vietnam but cannot send troops to selma, alabama, to protect people. reporter: after bloody sunday president johnson spoke before congress. it is wrong, deadly wrong, to deny any of your fellow americans the right to vote in this country. it s not just negroes. but really it s all of us who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. and we shall overcome. he was the first american president to use the theme song of the civil rights movement. i looked at dr. king. tears came down his face. i started crying. i didn t like for anybody to see me cry. but i cried. president johnson federalized the alabama national guard. called out for the united states military to protect us all the way from selma, to montgomery. reporter: on august 6th, president johnson signed the landmark voting rights act ensuring that all citizens could vote regardless of their color. it was bloody sunday that helped make that day possible. it s also why lewis returns to this bridge every year. the vote is powerful. it is the most powerful nonviolence tool we have in the democratic society. i don t want people to forget, that people paid a price. reporter: athena jones, cnn, selma, alabama. just hair-raising to see that video. see the men marching there. the men and women. you can get much more of this obviously, on cnn.com, on the anniversary of bloody sunday. you can see chilling photos by a legendary civil rights photographer. and you can hear from a woman that was left for dead on the bridge. in the face of pending corruption charges, a u.s. senator says he s not going anywhere. this is senator robert menendez. he is accused of using his seat to push business interests of a supporter and a friend in exchange for gifts. menendez tells reporters friday he has conducted himself appropriately and in accordance with the law. an announcement from prosecutors by the u.s. justice department to pursue criminal charges could come within weeks. when she was u.s. secretary of state, hillary clinton signed the department memo discouraging the use of personal e-mail accounts for official business. but now, she is under scrutiny herself for the very same thing. clinton has since handed over thousands of those e-mails to try to prove she did something wrong. as cnn s rihanna keillor reports, the controversy is not going away. reporter: the firestorm over hillary clinton s use of personal e-mail while secretary of state, dominated the state department briefing friday. i m not the spokesperson for her office. people may have been confused about this week. reporter: reporters asked if clinton failed to follow the e-mail rules she signed off on. an internal department cable from 2011 said employees should avoid using personal e-mail to conduct government business. but state department spokeswoman, marie hart called them helpful tips. it s not regulations. reporter: in 2012 a scathing inspector general report admonished u.s. ambassador to kenya for using personal e-mail to conduct government business at the same time clinton, his boss was doing the same. he told cnn he was surprised at the double-standard. at clinton s request, the state department will look at 55,000 e-mails the obama department asked her to turnover last year. an aide says she turned over anything she did at the state department. but they re taking her word for it when she says she s handing over what s relevant and keeping what s not. the white house says clinton abided by the federal records act, as the e-mail policy clinton did not follow. did members of the administration receive e-mails from hillary clinton while she was secretary of state? that i don t know. i do know that obviously, the president has a firm policy that e-mails should be kept on government systems. he believes in transparency. reporter: some political observers wonder if the controversy leaves an opening for any other potential democratic candidates to challenge clinton s expected run for president. former maryland governor martin o malley is traveling in the coming weeks to materially states of iowa and new hampshire. it is real. reporter: and passing on a chance to run for the senate seat that barbara mckuls. who is going to go unknown to beating her for the presidency? how would that happen? how would that ever happen? as the news continues, it was a harrowing rescue on the italian ski slopes. hundreds of skiers in a gondola suspended in midair for hours. welcome back to cnn newsroom. i m george howell. violent winds have wreaked havoc across parts of italy. really strong winds in that part of the world. this has made headlines in the weather center for about two days. just because it s leaving scenes like this. it s pushing up vessels and ships aground across the adriatic. that s how strong and how violent this localized wind pam known as the bora winds is. it s done something incredible in the northern parts of italy. look at this footage. we teased it earlier before the commercial break. this is several hundred skiering being air-lifted from cable gondolas. they narrowly escaped what was a potential of a terrifying fall there from about 100 feet up. in is in the italian dolomites. the wind came through over a tree and landed on one of the cables. this prompted fears that the cables could snap. that s why they initiated the rescue attempts. fortunately the hundreds of skiers that were rescued were all brought down by safely by hospital or by cable. the wind gusts across this region, near the coast of croatia, 162 kilometers purr hour. the dolomites, that was 130 kilometers per hour. and the bora winds continue for the next 42 to 48 hours. parts of greece and certainly across the adriatic into parts of italy. this is all thanks to a part of pressure gradients, forming behind the mountain line. this low pressure system we ve been discussing moves in a westerly direction. this is in the meteor lodge come world as retrograding. you see the onslaught of moisture continuing. we have the possibility of strong winds for this season. and even an isolated tornado. and the possibility of large hail exists especially where you see the shading of raid. double-check your flight plans if you re heading to greece. we have snowfall across parts of bulgaria. could exceed 25 to 30 centimeters. active here across the central mediterranean. looks as if the active weather will continue through the course of the weekend. george? derek, thank you so much. as we watched the cold snowy weather in the u.s. here s another situation that the weather did not help. federal investigators are now examining the flight recorders of that jet that skidded off the runway at new york s la guardia airport on thursday. it was an icy, snowy runway you ll remember. they hope to have answers about what exactly went wrong with that delta jet by monday. but for the airline industry it s already clear. a lot has been going dangerously wrong with these runways. cnn s tom foreman reports. reporter: a smashed nose cone. a badly damaged wing. how nearly disastrous this crash was. and new information is pushing the question was it avoidable? amid the snow and ice, the incoming pilot asked about the runway. and was told two other flights had just landed safely. braking action reported good by an airbus and a regional jet. reporter: but another refused to take off. a quarter-inch is a little much for us to go. reporter: the jet swooped down started skidding and slammed into an earthen wall feet from the icy bay. raising many questions for investigators. the question is a judgment issue. and the question is whether the port authority whether the federal aviation administration and whether the pilots made the right decisions on that day. reporter: the incident has renewed concerns about la guardia, where traffic is high and runways short. in 1996 another jet hit pilings at the end of the same runway and crashed. ntsb investigators called it pilot error. but listen to rick take who has close to 40 years of airline experience. la guardia s one of the runways, when you re coming in you have to have your a-game with you. and you have to be right on. and everything you re doing because there s not a lot of room for error. reporter: recent runway accidents have the whole industry on-edge. last year a private jet crashed trying to take off outside boston killing seven. how many more do we have down? reporter: in 2013 an asiana airlines jet hit a seawall in san francisco, killing 3 and injuring 181. and in 2006 a plane in kentucky steered on to a runway too short for takeoff. and 49 people died. the latest faa numbers show 1,200 dangerous runway incursions last year alone. that s more than three a day. and more than enough to have the airline industry looking for some answers. tom foreman, cnn, washington. veteran actor harrison ford remains in a hospital following a crash. he crash-landed his vintage plane he was piloting in a golf course. the 72-year-old was conscious and talking after reporting engine failure. then crashing in that course that you see there. in the u.s. state of california. this happened yesterday, on thursday. just days after the slaying of a russian opposition figure in the heart of moscow fellow kremlin critic is now speaking out, saying he s not afraid. and he won t stop. then a group in

nimrud in iraq. the extent of the damage there is not clear. this incident comes a week after isis militants destroyed artifacts in the mosul museum. at least one person is dead after a bomb explosion in egypt s nile delta region. egyptian state media reports 11 other people were wounded in the blast outside a bay the. the person killed was a police sergeant. there s no word on who might be responsible for that bombing. brazil s top court will investigate dozens of politicians in connection with a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal. the scam may have funneled money from state-run oil company, petrol bus. the fate of iran s nuclear program does not just concern politicians. but it has the country s religious leaders worried. many do not trust the u.s. even though they want sanction relief. fred pliken has this story. reporter: death to america. death to israel. thousands chant at the friday prayers in tehran. a show of force by this country s religious conservatives. iran has a powerful and large religious community. those negotiating on behalf of iran will not be able to sign any nuclear deal without the backing of this deal. that will be hard. many attending the sermon are skeptical of the negotiations. this guy is making a fool of himself by going and saying we will negotiate with the u.s. and the u.s. is tricking. this is not right. they did not have a good faith negotiation on the part of the u.s. translator: unfortunately, we ve seen that we cannot trust the americans, this young mullah says. they have shown that the nuclear issue is an excuse. they want to take everything away from us. our religion our dignity. and this one says, the americans want too much. that s why we re not optimistic. and there s many times when the u.s. has not been honest. for now, iran s highest thortd says he supports negotiations. but he also says he wants a good deal for iran. i will agree to a deal that s practical, he said. of course not with a bad deal. the americans repeatedly state they believe no deal is better than a bad deal. we are of this opinion, as well. and many attending friday prayers say additional sanctions and even military confrontation don t scare them. the reason we are progressing is because of the sanctions. not despite of the sanctions. you see? we are a great nation. everybody you see here they re ready to go to war. we re not afraid. reporter: many iranians do want sanction relief as fast as possible. but strong hardliners say they would rather continue under sanctions than make concessions to the west. now, on to ukraine, where a large watchdog group says a cease-fire with pro-russian separatists is holding. but barely. the head of the organization for security and cooperation in europe says there have been violations. but they ve been mostly small arms fire. and that both sides have been moving back their larger weapons from the front lines. meanwhile, a police commander and his wife were injured on friday, in a car blast in the city of karkiev. police found bomb remnants at the scene. but it s unclear who placed it there. a long-time opposition figure is vowing to fight against president putin, despite the recent slaying of critic boris nemtsov. he was released from a jail on friday after being detained for 15 days for distributing opposition leaflets. he spoke of nemtsov s death, saying this act of terror hasn t achieved its goal. he was a leading organizationer behind the street protests in moscow in 2011. the daughter of boris nemtsov says her dad died as a hero. it s been a week now. while his grieving daughter won t blame president putin, she says he shares political responsibility. cnn s matthew chance has the this story. reporter: he was one of russia s most prominent opposition figures. gunned down in the shadow of the kremlin. but boris nemtsov was also a father. and for the first time in an television interview, his bereaved daughter is speaking out. i loved him more than anyone else in my life. though i m a grown-up daughter. i m 30 years old. i m turning 31 on the 26th of march. so we were very close. and i think that he died a hero. reporter: he was walking home with his ukrainian girlfriend last friday night, when a gunman fired four shots into his back. the surveillance video is grainy. but this is the moment russia lost one of its strongest opposition voices. and zahanna lost her dad. i believe the authorities have the political responsibility for his murder. it ice evident because it s cruel, it s bare-faced murder in the heart of russia. in moscow, in the city center. reporter: do you blame putin directly for the killing? i cannot blame him directly i would say that our authorities including the president of russia has political responsibility as the head of state. reporter: even so many days after the killing, you can see the flowers are still here. the tributes are still being laid. president putin has vowed to find the killers, calling his murder a disgrace. but so far, no arrests have been made. and zhanna told me even the family has not been told any progress. do you have faith that the authorities will bring those responsible to justice? no. it s a short answer. no. i don t believe in that. and i think that it s now we have russia has crossed the line because after this murder. and people will be frightened to express their ideas, which contradicts to their official standpoint. reporter: despite his politics zhanna told me her father never believed his life was in real danger. even this fierce critic of putin s russia it seems, underestimated how bad things had become. matthew chance cnn, moscow. we have some news just in to the cnn newsroom. russian law enforcement has arrested two men suspected of involvement in the murder of opposition figure boris nemtsov. that s according to the director of the federal security service, who was quoted in russian state media. he says the two suspects were taken into custody earlier. and russian president vladimir putin has been informed of these arrests. two people arrested in the murder of boris nemtsov. it s one of the greatest aviation mysteries ever. after one year authorities are still searching for malaysia flight 370. that plane vanished in a gap, while switching air space. the investigation has raised a lot of questions about how air traffic controllers communicate. david mulko takes a look at that story. reporter: cleared for takeoff. spoken hundreds of times a day. up in the control tower at hong kong international airport. as the plane climbs out, it s handed from the tow to the air traffic control center. responsible not just for the space around the airport, but for the entire region. each colored strip, each dat on the screen a piece of this delicate puzzle. she has to control the outbound traffic, the inbound traffic and the overflying traffic. reporter: that s a lot of planes. mh-370 began its journey like other flights. the boeing 777 takes off from kuala lumpur. and flies here there air space all comes together. at 1:19 a.m. the plane is handed off by kuala lumpur. two minutes later, the plane disappears from radar. at this simulator in hong kong we learn that transfers like this happen hundreds of times a day. on 125. reporter: usually, you say good-bye. yeah. reporter: at this spot in the ska, which is neither here nor there, it s up to the pilots to make contact with the next region. in mh-370 s case ho chi minh city. if you re expecting a flight to come into air space and it doesn t show up what do you do? if we re certain that the aircraft was coming towards us we will try our best all of the effort to get them to contact. reporter: call the plane? use an emergency frequency. talk to the airline. you ll talk to the neighboring region doing all that in a matter of minutes, right? yeah. we won t wait for long. reporter: according to this report released by malaysian authorities, vietnamese authorities called kuala lumpur after 17 minutes. but it took hours of back and forth, before kuala lumpur launched a search for the plane. what we had here was something that was really off people s radar screens, as far as the imagination. a little bit of ineptitude and a healthy dose of confusion. reporter: extraordinary circumstances in a part of the world that safely handles thousands of flights every day. back in the tower, controllers work quickly but calmly. contact tower south. reporter: guiding each plane and its precious cargo on its journey. david molko,

are under arrest after a shooting in mali that left five people dead including a representative of the european union union. it happened at n the capital, at a nightclub that s popular for westerners. one french citizen, a belgian and three from mali are among the dead. france s president francois hollande condemned the attack. you may have seen pictures of mohammed emwazi. he s been identified by the united states as the isis militant jihadi john. we have amateur video to show you from his teenage years. it offers no new clues, possible clues of his barbary to come. reporter: one boy shows off fancy footwork. and someone calls out the name to match the now-famous face. mohammed emwazi confirmed to be jihadi john the masked murderer. you see him throw a playful punch. in front of the camera he covers his face. emwazi was shy but not a problem student, says his former head coacher. she describes the moment she heard her former student was the man behind the mask for isis. he was reserved. didn t have a huge circle of friends. but had a few good friends. was bullied a little bit because he was quiet. and he was reserved. but generally, he was fine. knife, will continue to strike the necks of your people. reporter: it was his distinctivedistinct distinctive british voice that led to him being identified. his described as being a polite young man. a student at westminster university and in kuwait. recorded audio recording in 2009 released from cage u.k. this is the wrong thing. what happened was wrong. reporter: but for the people who knew him it is difficult to fathom that the football-loving teenager they knew as mohammed emwazi has emerged as the man behind the mask. the story of a south african teenager who was kidnapped at birth and recently reunited with her family has captivated the nation. the teen s biological father says his daughter is broken after her ordeal. we look at how she was found 17 years after her abduction. reporter: it was in this neighborhood that stephanie nurse grew up. just a few miles away from her biological parents. raised by an accused kidnapper. the type of life the child had was a great life. reporter: nurie lives down the road. now, she stands accused. when she was just days old, from the hospital where she was born. the girl s true identity, discovered 17 years later, when she was enrolled at the same school as her biological sister. the resemblance, so striking that police were called in for dna tests. on friday her biological importants were at the capetown court, to hear the judge grant bail. no contact with the potential witnesses, including her own husband, and the girl she s raised as her own for the past 17 years. the accused would like to get this finalized as quickly as possible. so that all parties are considered in this matter including the interest of the minor child. reporter: the woman s lawyer wouldn t comment on a potential plea. only they re looking for a speedy conclusion. where are the biological parents out? their child is not dead. she s not missing anymore. but they must deal with it s not an easier way of saying this. there s an open-ended issues they are dealing with. reporter: for now, she remains in the care of minister fritz s department. she s an incredible young girl. she s very very feisty. assertive. a young person. reporter: a young woman in a her biological parents are desperate to get to know. came alive. and that s all i can say. emotional moment. our daughter s back. and that s it. reporter: after a childhood spent in the care of

debate over that dress and its colors. it took the internet by storm last week. but now, that image is being used to start a more serious conversation. cnn s hala gorani has the story. reporter: it was the dress that divided the internet. black and blue? or white and gold? it felt like it was the only question that people cared about last week. i thought it was white and gold. i thought it was black and blue. reporter: at its peak the dress had 145 page views per minute according to tumblr. within 4 days 73 million clicks. now, the meme is being used the make a more serious point. the salvation army in south africa asks why is it so hard to see black and blue. driving home the brutal statistic that one in six women in south africa is a victim of domestic abuse. we all enjoyed the idea that we could look at this dress and see different things. but i think to look at it again, with new eyes and to see this image that depicts somebody who is suffering domestic violence has the power to really reach people that otherwise wouldn t take notice of this message. and we would certainly encourage people to take advice to seek help if they re suffering domestic violence. reporter: the salvation army was not the only organization trying to capitalize on the buzz. others jumped in with varying success. digital media experts say companies should involve themselves in thesiane ianonline conversation and need to be quick on the mark. the companies set up to respond in social media are going to be the more successful ones. it s about having people that understands the medium the internet. and really understands the tone and the voice and the language of it. and then it s about having a great idea. reporter: a powerful message. and a clever idea. old-fashioned ingredients that are still vital in the new media age. that was cnn s hala gorani reporting on that. hindus across india, are celebrating the arrival of spring with the festival of fol colors. people threw color

friday night was different. house republican leaders were blindsided when their plan to prevent the department of homeland security from shutting down was defeated. 52 conservatives voted no because the funding bill didn t also stop the president s immigration plan. in the end, a bill did pass to fund the homeland security department for one week which means once again in just a few days we re going to be facing another shutdown. i was reporting from the capitol friday night and had exasperated veteran republican lawmakers say things to me like how are we supposed to govern? they were at a loss with how to control their own right flank. at a time when american security couldn t be more important. joining me now is a conservative from that right flank at the heart of all of this republican congressman jim jordan who is the chairman of the house freedom caucus formed earlier this year to advocate for conservative legislation. congressman, thank you very much for joining me. i want to ask the first question that everybody out there is probably asking probably in disgust saying really? what is wrong with congress? why can t you govern? why can t you fund a government agency that keeps us safe? we do want be to fund that agency. weunder stand how serious the terrorist threat is out there. we passed a bill at the levels that the democrat wanted. what we did say was we don t want to fund something that everyone knows is un unconstitutional. legal scholars on the right and left have said it s unconstitutional and a federal judge said is illegal. fund it at the levels the democrats want but don t do something that s unconstitutional. right. you know basic civics because you are a member of congress. the senate can t pass that. you can t get past the senate. dana basic civics. we sent a bill over there six weeks ago that did what i described, fund it at the democrat s levels. the democrats said and the sane nate said for six weeks, we can t bring it up. we can t debate it. we can t amend it. we can t pass it. then guess what happened? the very last day they brought up the bill they debated it they amended it they passed it. and now all we re saying is let s go to conference committee. you passed government class in high school i did, too. we know how it works. we pass something, they pass something, you go sit around a table just like this nice roundtable and you work out the differences. what s wrong with that process? that s how it s supposed to work. it is how it s supposed to work but in the reality that you are dealing with right now, there still are not enough votes in the senate filibuster approved votes. you know this. you ve heard from your leadership. i don t want to get too far in the weeds before we move on. there is no plan to get over that hump that very important hump which is why there is such a stalemate. this is why your fellow conservatives in the senate ted cruz jeff sessions they allowed a bill to pass a clean bill to fund the department of homeland security no strings because they know the political reality. why don t you? dana you re making our point. that s why you have to let the process work and go to conference. that s where you iron out the differences. remember harry reid said he wasn t going to pass anything but a bill that funded it for the entire year. what did they do? they passed a bill for a week. let s go to conference. the underlying action what caused all of this is when the president last november did something that 22 times before he said he wouldn t do then he turned around and did it. legal scholars say it s unconstitutional unconstitutional. we know it s unconstitutional. the only court to rule on this the federal court in texas said what he did is wrong. for the democrats to insist on being able to still spend money for something everyone knows is unconstitutional the president said he wouldn t do and a federal judge ruled is wrong. we re even willing in spite of all of that, we re willing to sit down and work out the differences. that s all the house asked for. that s what the conservatives wanted. let s go to conference. make sure we go to conference. let me read something that your fellow republican in the house, congressman devin nunez said. i prefer to be in an arena voting than to placate a small group of phony conservative members who have no political strategy to stop obama s lawlessness. it s talking about you calling you a phony conservative. i don t call say things about my colleagues. what i do know is this last november there was an election. this was an important issue in that election. the voters spoke loud and clear. they gave us an overwhelming majority in the house of representatives. they gave the united states senate majority to the republican party as well. we know this is unconstitutional. beyond that it s not just that it s unconstitutional. it s a bad idea because it s unfair. i m going o say, you re not saying anything that the house republican leadership they agreed with you on this. they re living in the reality of the process in that they can t do anything about it because they don t have the votes ultimately to do it without shutting down the department of homeland security. we need to make the case. we haven t made the case strong enough. we know this is unconstitutional and this is you unfair. think about this what the president did. if you let noncitizens, illegals go back and get tax returns. how is it fair to seniors if you let noncitizens, illegals participate in our social security system. how is it fair to voters? our secretary of state under oath came and testified in congress saying noncitizen illegals are going to have the potential now to be involved in the election process. actually vote. most importantly, dana, how is it fair what the president did, to those legal immigrants who did it the right way followed the law. how is it fair to them? you ve made the point and i understand that you feel very passionately about this but this is also about passion and principle versus governing and it just from people looking in from the outside and even more importantly your fellow republican colleagues think that you are more interested in chaos. not at all. principle and your responsibility of governing. we re most interested in adhering to the principles that are consistent with the constitution. we re most interested in doing what the voters elected us to do in november. you don t think this was a big issue in the election last november? of course it was. this was taking on the president s unconstitutional executive amnesty actions was a huge issue. all we re asking for harry reid to do is follow the process. have you been in any conversations about trying to get rid of house speaker john boehner? that s not the point. have you? no, of course not. have you? no that s not the point. the point is to do to do what we told the voters we were going to do and to do it in a way that s consistent with the united states constitution consistent with fundamental fairness and consistent with the only court to rule on this do it in a way that s consistent with the federal if the house speaker ends up at the end of next week allowing a vote on the house floor to fully fund the department of homeland security without addressing the president s immigration plan will you challenge the house speaker? no. no. of course not. i don t think that s going to happen though. i think we have to make the case continue to make the case. harry reid we re not we can t debate it we can t amend it we can t vote on it. what did they do? they did it at the 11th hour. that s the problem. we need time to get to conference and do the right thing. if your conservative colleagues come to you and say, we want to try to make a play, we re done with this leadership team we want to make a play to get rid of them. no that s not going to happen. you re saying affirmatively it s not going to happen? the issue i keep coming back to. we had an election last november. we have a federal judge who said this is wrong. we have legal scholars people like jonathan turley on the loeft who say what the president did, the magnitude, 5 million people that is wrong, that is unconstitutional. so for those reasons we need to get to conference and make sure language that s close to what we pass in the house is the final product. let me ask. up talked so much about it being unconstitutional what the president because it is. so given that you also have another tool that the constitution gives you and that is to file articles of impeachment. if you think that what the president did was so unconstitutional, why not make moves to impeach him? we re not going to do that either. look we re focused on this legislation, funding the department at the levels the democrats wanted the levels they agreed to. and making sure why did the democrats insist? this is amazing to me. why did they insist on being able to fund something that we know is unconditions city tuesday nal and a federal judge has ruled against? that s the fundmental question. they insist even though the only court says you can t do it. it is wrong. that s why our bill makes so much common sense. i m just frustrated that harry reid continues to take the position he does. one last question. do you want the house republican leadership to succeed or not? of course we want them to succeed, because that helps the country succeed. that s good for the family the country certainly doesn t look at it. it just and i ve been covering congress for a very long time and it feels more chaotic and it is it is impossible at this point for the house speaker and the leadership team to govern and they feel like it is because you all just don t take yes for an answer. what s best for the country is to fund the homeland security department to fund the homeland security department but do it in a way consistent with the constitution. that s what the election was about. last time i checked republicans did pretty well in the election last november. we re supposed to actually politicians, are actually supposed to do what they told the voters they were going to do when they got the job. thank you very much for the spirited discussion. i appreciate it. we ll be watching all next week to see what happens. thank you very much. when we come back i ll talk to democratic senator dianne feinstein about what is going on in congress and whether americans can expect anything different from lawmakers any time soon. later, former israeli ambassador michael oren and why he thinks bebe netanyahu s speech to congress is a bad move. corn dogs?

well i have no problem with them passing a bill which they can do. we ve passed an immigration bill by a huge vote 2/3. it went over to the house. the house took no position and now what they ve done is they ve put a president s executive order on top of a must-pass national security bill and that s their strategy to ram it through. well our position is it should be a clean bill and it should fund the department through the fiscal year. you can t keep doing these things by continuing resolutions because the department loses money, particularly for local law enforcement grants. and can you see can you see at the end of next week senate democrats allowing anything other than a clean bins bill. no. are you going to compromise at all? i don t believe that will happen. we want a clean bill. we have passed taken votes on a clean bill. it s well known, and i see nothing else happening other than a clean bill. you ve been in congress for a long time. have you seen it this dysfunctional before? well what i ve seen over the last few years is a growing need of a minority to impose their view regardless of what the situation is. i think most of us are accustomed to sitting down. we worked out a compromise which is not a dirty word because in a two-party system you have to if you re going to make progress otherwise you have stasis or gridlock. so we ve had more gridlock and appropriation bills when i first came no one put major bills on appropriation bills. and the committee was sacrisanct. nobody amended bills. the committee always supported their own committee s views, and now it s different. so it s very hard to make that change and keep the regular order of government going and, secondly not risk a shutdown which has happened in the past. sure has. let s turn to what s going to happen on tuesday, which is prime minister benjamin netanyahu coming and speaking before a joint meeting of congress. you and your fellow democratic senator dick durbin invited the prime minister to speak to a group of democrats and he declined that invitation. what do you make of that? well he obviously just didn t want to meet. i mean we ll be meeting because why do you think that is. the leadership of the committees will be meeting with him so that will be an opportunity to meet with him, but i hope since he is coming i intend to go and i ll listen respectfully. i don t intend to jump up and down. and i hope he ll speak about what happens if there isn t an agreement. i hope he ll speak about what happens if the united states isn t part of the agreement. on iran? on iran but the agreement takes police becauselace because this isn t just the united states it s the big powers. it s russia it s china, it s the united kingdom, it s france it s germany. that s what the p 5 plus 1 is and the united states. so they could conceivably agree, we could conceivably if he if netanyahu s view prevails and the view of some of my colleagues present real problems. the president, i believe, has this is not a treaty has the right to do an agreement. let me let me read to you a statement that netanyahu made as he was about to board his plane, which i should say he s on now making his way to washington. he said as the prime minister of israel it is my obligation to worry about the security of israel and, therefore, we are totally against the agreement that is coming together between iran and the powers that can endanger our existence. when you have the israeli prime minister arguing that this is going to endanger his existence hard to fight that. he did that in 2011. i was present for that speech. he said they would never accept a you disagree with this? i disagree with it very strongly. i happen to believe israel is a lot safer with an agreement that s agreed to by all of the big powers including ourselves, than it is if there is no agreement and if iran decides to break out. then israel attacks iran iran attacks back what happens? what happens? and and, you know we have a middle east that s coming apart. we have isil and isis they occupy 1/3 of the territory of syria. they occupy about 9 or 10 cities in iraq. they are forming their own government. they are occupying land which is a new thing for a terrorist group. and you have yemen in trouble. you have egypt in transition. you have libya close to a civil war. and you have jordan and lebanon in danger. let me ask you one more question about the israeli prime minister s speech. you are a jewish american. you are a democratic senator so you have a lot of different sort of personal constituencies if you will. when netanyahu says he s coming to speak he says he speaks for all jews. does he speak for you? no he doesn t speak for me on this. he doesn t at all speak for me. does that bother you when he says he speaks for all jews? yeah i think it s a rather arrogant statement. i think the jewish community is like any other community, there are different points of view. so i i think that arrogance does not befit israel candidly. i think israel is a nation that needs to be protected, that needs to stand free that hopefully can work constructively with palestinians to have a side-by-side state and to put an end to the bitterness that has plagued this whole area. do you think that by speaking to congress two weeks before his election is a sign of arrogance? well i think it is certainly a sign of a political move. now whether this political move can be effective or not, i don t know but it s not helpful. and it s not helpful to attack our president. he is our president, and this brings the country together. i have to ask you about what s going on in russia. vladimir putin i should say that there are protests going on on the streets of moscow right now because vladimir putin s chief rival boris nemtsov was shot in the back walking down the street. do you think vladimir putin was behind this? oh, i have no way of knowing. it s hard for me to believe it. this is a man that has 80% favorability rating has very strong support for his people, has his clandestine army invading the ukraine. right now there is the minsk settlement about to go in well it s in effect. the troops are beginning to pull back from both borders so are you worried this is a terrible time for this to happen. i was going to say, do you worry that this could destabilize all of that the talks with the ukraine? well i don t think it will. it could. and just kind of big picture very quickly, i just want to quickly ask you about, we mentioned isis. the fact that we learned jihadi john s identity this week and the fact that he is an example of westerners being radicalized. you obviously know all the intelligence. what can you tell us about right now about your fear about westerners and their involvement in what s going on in the middle east with isis terrorists? westerners and their involvement. you mean missionaries. my understanding is isis has over 200 hostages now in various places. i think people should be very careful. i think this is a group that has to be defeated and i think we re on our way to doing it. the bombing runs have been successful. they ve taken out a lot of military equipment, training camps and i think are making a dent. i think we will have an authorization to use military force before us. i m one that will support it. the president s proposal is three years, it s not an enduring operation. i think that language needs to be looked at a little bit, but i think we need to participate in this effort. i believe that isis and isil is really a world threat and you either fight them there or we ll fight them here one day. senator dianne feinstein, thank you for your time as always. thank you, dana. appreciate it. up next ambassador michael oren on why prime minister netanyahu and president obama can t get along. later, former governor rick perry tells us why he s making a second run for president. denver international is one of the busiest airports in the country. we operate just like a city and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal generating electricity on-site and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we re very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment. we all eat foods that are acidic. most of the time people are shocked when we show them where they re getting the acid and what those acids can do to the enamel. there s only so much enamel on a tooth, and everybody needs to do something about it now if they want to preserve their teeth. i recommend pronamel because it helps strengthen the tooth and makes it more resistant to acid breakdown. we want to be healthy and strong through the course of our life and by using pronamel every day, just simply using it as your toothpaste, you know you will have that peace of mind. as we speak israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on a plane heading here to washington to address america calling his speech to congress tuesday fateful and historic netanyahu said he will be the messenger of all israelis including those who disagree with him. joining me now is michael oren who is israel s former ambassador to the united states and now a political opponent of the prime minister. mr. ambassador thank you for joining me. the first question i have to ask is you think that this is a bad idea for the israeli prime minister to be addressing congress. why? good morning, dana. we re having a little technical difficulty here. i can scarcely hear you at all. i think you asked me whether i agreed or disagreed with the prime minister s choice to speak in congress. i am running an election in a party that s not prime minister netanyahu s party. we have a lot of differences in housing, economy, even on the peace process. yes, i did say publicly that the prime minister could speak somewhere else perhaps not intercede between the white house and the congress or between democrats and republicans, but on the issue of iran let s be very clear on this on the issue of iran there is no daylight between prime minister netanyahu and me indeed between prime minister netanyahu and the others. we all see iran with nuclear arms as an existential threat. this is the largest state sponsor of terror. iran has taken over four middle eastern countries, been come police sit in the murder of 200,000 syrians. just last week the iranian navy practiced blowing up a u.s. air craft carrier. this is not a country that anybody wants to see have the ability, even in the future to create a nuclear weapon. now you were the israeli ambassador for most of the obama presidency so far. and so you were right in the middle of the tense relationship between benjamin netanyahu and barack obama. you witnessed it like no one else has, so what happened? why did it get so bad? well i think it s clear that this is not the relationship that rabin had with bill clinton nor that george bush had with ariel sharon and there are many differences, many reasons, many of them ideological. i think at this point we should all take a deep breath and get beyond it. stop playing a blame game and recognize that the u.s./israel alliance is one of the most multi-faceted, deepest friendships in the world and it s more than a relationship between any president and any single prime minister. it s about intelligence centering, joint maneuvers, weapons development, economy and, yes, even television show programs because you all enjoy watching homeland and the affair which are israeli series. okay. i know that you are still have those diplomatic tendencies deep in your roots, but let me try to get at that again. obviously this is much bigger than two men, but had is also about two men. what is it about these two men? again, you witnessed it. can you give us an example of why they clash so much and have really from the beginning? i think that very different ideological world views. i ll give you an example on the iranian issue. president obama has been quoted saying that iran is not north korea. prime minister netanyahu said that iran is worse than 50 north koreas. that s a very different world view. most israelis would side with the prime minister on this saying north korea is not out to destroy another country. north korea is not supporting terror worldwide. so most israelis going to fall much closer on the side of iran looking much worse than north korea than not being north korea. i want to play for you what the national security adviser to the president said this week about the current relationship with israel. listen to this. what has happened over the last several weeks by virtue of the invitation that was issued. by the speak of the house. by the speaker and the acceptance by prime minister netanyahu two weeks in advance of his election is both sides there has been injected a degree of partisanship which is not only unfortunate i think it s destructive of the fabric of the relationship. mr. ambassador, the secretary of state, john kerry, got even more personal going after in a hearing going after netanyahu about his stance on iraq. you were not only a former ambassador a politician and an historian. have you ever seen relations this bad? well, as an historian i can point to many ups and downs in the u.s./israel relations back to 1966 and the suez canal. let s not go into ancient history. things have become very personal here. there have been things said about prime minister netanyahu from white house sources that i can t even repeat on national television. and, again, i would recity itsit / reiterate. our fabric is stronger than these remarks, it s stronger than the relationship between a president and prime minister. let s not lose sight of that. we can t ignore what has happened and repair whatever damage has been done and work together whether a deal is signed or not signed. either way, the united states and israel are going to be allied very closely. before i let you go i want to tell our viewers that you are now a candidate for the kineset, which is the israeli parliament. you are running to appeal to about 300,000 americans who live in israel. you have a new political ad out that sort of mirrors something that we re all watching this weekend, which is house of cards. i want our viewers to see this. tonight starts the new season of house of cards. it s a tv program about dirty politics. if you re tired of dirty politics in israel on march 17th you vote. that s a mean frank underwood there. see, it s so much fun not being ambassador. as a politician you get to do that stuff. it s a hugely popular series here. israelis watch it like americans watch homeland which is an israeli series. they re looking for political change. i hope to be part of it. if the political thing doesn t work out for you, we ll see you back in hollywood. thank you very much. we ll be talking to you as the prime minister actually speaks in the next couple of days. thank you so much. up next my interview with a former lone star state governor rebooting for his 2016 presidential run. superpower. surprised?

we need to look back and you see the opportunities that we missed funding and giving weapons to the syrian rebels could have stopped isis before they ever got out of syria. then as they moved into iraq we had the opportunity with the peshmerga to fund them and we failed at that. so the options we have left are not the best ones but having a coalition with the jordanians with the saudis with the other middle eastern countries which is what the obama administration is doing. but they re the lesser of options. i ll also suggest to you, we are going to have to have our military actively engaged with those special operators from those other countries to eliminate the isis threat and this administration does that mean boots on the ground? that s exactly what it means. i m not trying to parse the words. that s exactly what we should have. how many? i think the idea of sending a message to anybody, here s how many troops we re going to put on the ground, i ve written too many letters to moms dads spouses, next of kin for almost a decade of people we ve lost in texas during this war on terror and to be sending information to the enemy, whether it s through the media or any other source i will suggest to you is irresponsible. there might be people watching this saying okay here is a texas governor who wants to be in the white house who wants to send u.s. troops to the middle east. we ve seen this movie before. what would you say? i would suggest to them that i have the background and the ability to make decisions on my own, and i think if american and western values are in jeopardy and u.s. troops working with a coalition force is how you stop isis i think the bulk of the american people are going to say, thank you, mr. president for standing up for our values. thank you for stopping this face of evil. let s talk about where we are at cpac and about the 2016 race. scott walker seemed to when he spoke seemed to compare americans protesting for collective bargaining to isis terrorists. if i could take on 100,000 protesters i could do the same across the world. you said it was inappropriate. i think the initial response when i heard that was i think that s not right. you don t you don t make that connection. the governor s gone back and clarified his remarks since then and clearly said that s not what he was talking about. i respect that clarification and support him on that. chris christie also at cpac. he had this famous moment where he told a constituent to sit down and shut up. until that time sit down and shut up. he was asked about that. he said well sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shut up. do you agree with that? that s not how i would have handled it. do you think that he is appropriate? is his language and his demeanor appropriate to be in the white house? listen we re all different people. we all have different styles and demeanors. the voting public will sort all of that out. very diplomatic. you have talked about some questionable donations to the clinton foundation. what exactly do you think is wrong with these donations? why does it raise questions for you? i think most americans realize that a phone call at 3:00 in the morning to the president of the united states about an issue that deals with a foreign country that is given maybe tens of millions of dollars to the foundation that she oversees is not right. and it s not only the appearance of impropriety it s also the ethical side of this that i think most americans really have a problem with. and i m really concerned about not just going forward but what has been received at the clinton foundation over the course of years and how that affects this individual s judgment. she was secretary of state so you could argue that she sort of, you know that they re going from the pool that she s familiar with if that makes sense. you can argue that but i think it falls flat in the face of the american people when it comes to arguing about trust. an individual who has taken that much where is their loyalty. why do you want to be president? i love this country. i put on the uniform of the air force. by the grace of god i was elected to the statehouse in what i thought was going to be a short period of time now 30 years later i m still having the great privilege to get to serve and to give back to this country. you just heard rick perry take a swipe at hillary clinton. he is hardly the only one. we re going to talk about that and jeb bush facing some of the same critics walking a fine line between conservative credentials and electability. our panel is next. when the moment s spontaneous, why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision or any symptoms of an allergic reaction stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial. alright, so this tylenol arthritis lasts 8 hours but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve is proven to work better on pain than tylenol arthritis. so why am i still thinking about this? how are ya? good. aleve. proven better on pain. had hillary here but we couldn t find a foreign nation to foot the bill. hillary may like hashtags but she doesn t know what leadership means. it s time for hillary clinton to permanently retire. hillary clinton yesterday foreign fundraising. hillary. hillary. hillary. hillary. hillary. republicans, if you didn t get this, revving up the anti-hillary machine at this week s cpac conference. joining me is cnn commentator, donna brazile, peter baker from the new york times and doug baker deputy chief of staff to eric cantor. donna, are you quaking in your boots? no indeed. the only thing that keeps the republican party together is that they are anti-hillary. surprise surprise. if they could nominate an anti-hillary that would be the win. i watched cpac i didn t have netflix in order. all i heard is they when it comes to real policy. when it comes to giving the country a recipe for what they would do different, hillary clinton and barack obama, you didn t hear practice. more important policy differences between these 10,000 republicans running for president. was there too much of a focus on hillary clinton. he was happy to see republicans unified on something. talking about how republicans have been divided this week and previous months. i saw republicans talking about a campaign and moving forward which given everything else this week was refreshing actually. jeb bush i want to play for you what he said. this was a big moment for him this week facing conservatives who fairly or not don t necessarily think he s one of them listen to what he said? i would describe myself as practicing reform minded conservative that i ve actually done it. what do you think, peter? do you think that was enough to win them over. if he has to come to an audience like this he has to say i can play to different constittcon constittcon constituent constituentsey. he came out of it no big issues. it s the beginning of the campaign not the middle or end. the fact that he sat there and took questions and didn t give a speech on teleprompter which i was with him in detroit, clearly not his comfort zone that was a good thing. do you think went far nouf as a conservative yourself. i don t think you have to hit a home run every time. if you hit a single or double you move the ball forward. this was a good format for jeb bush for a lot of candidates aclu to have not typical speeches andrea ra ra get down to policies and we move to november of my goodness next year. donna, we were joking about them all being about hillary. you know about this. you ve been through the process as a political operative yourself. the primary is tough but if it hardens you and gets your blood flowing. hillary clinton isn t getting her blood flowing because she doesn t have anybody to spar with on her side. is that a problem? look i think she s going to be well prepared when she makes this announcement at some point in the future? i don t have her datebook. you know what she s been dealing with some of the toughest issues facing this country for the last 10 years. when you re secretary of state, united states senator, you don t have the opportunity to give speeches and attack one of your opponents. she s been laying out what the future will look like whether it s with girls in education, whether it s with health care. i think she s going to be well versed in what i call the mean speak when she jumps into the ring. let s turn to prime minister netanyahu, who is on a plane right now come to washington. peter, you ve talked to white house sources. you understand the depth of their anger at this. how do you think it will play out? obviously the prime minister is trying if he s coming here, to tamp town on temperature. prime minister and isn t of state before the prime minister got on the phone to try to at least talk things through a little bit before he comes here. what s really interesting in the month it s been since john boehner announced his invitation both sides have not tried in any way to really smooth it over. not at all. usually when there s a rupture like this a big flairup, well guys we re friends. if anything throwing more motte or fire. exactly. so prime minister netanyahu clearly give a speech that will not be disrespectful to the president. he understands he can t do that the passion of his argument against iran is real and that s a dividing point right now increasingly between the parties, something we haven t seen in politics in the united states. from a communications perspective, this has really been a fumble by the white house. the more they attack benjamin netanyahu, the more they attack his speech the more they amplify his message. that s something if you re the white house you don t want to do. relations are strained with israel. we know the threat we face with iran whatever the deal may be. recommend eric cantor op-ed everyone should read. more they attack on the record on the background the more they amplify. can i say, the or thing what they are doing the white house is something that john boehner is actually happy for when it comes to domestic politics they are rallying conservatives around john boehner because he s the one that invited him. the last damage this type of what i call partisan politics in america. there s long and deep and lasting bonds between israel and the united states. the president has spoken with the prime minister over 40 times over the course of his presidency. he s met with the prime minister 15 times. we don t need partisan politics injected into the relationship. hang on. we ll squeeze in a quick break and talk about how fiction morphed into real life in washington. 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. there s nothing more romantic than a spontaneous moment. so why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you re doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don t have to plan around either. it s the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision or any symptoms of an allergic reaction stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. why pause the moment? ask your doctor about cialis for daily use. for a free 30-tablet trial go to cialis.com what s that thing? i moved our old security system out here to see if it could monitor the front yard. why don t you switch to xfinity home?

en. if iran threatened to walk away from the table and this often happens in the persian bazaar, call their bluff. they ll be back. they need the deal a lot more than you do. the white house is dismissing mr. netanyahu s speech as more of the same. president obama said he didn t have time to watch or listen butsame. president obama said he didn t have time to watch or listen but did read a transcript of the speech. here s his response. on the core issue which is how do we prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon which would make it far more dangerous and would give it scope for even greater action in region. the prime minister didn t offer any viable alternatives. back home in israel mr. netanyahu is facing an election challenge in the coming weeks. kate bould win reports on how his feature is congress may affect his chances. reporter: all of the television networks in israel covered the prime minister s speech. everyone watching with great interest. the response and reaction afterward among reporter commentators and journalists and analysts was split. generally speaking folks thought the prime minister gave a good speech in terms of his delivery. he s known for doing just that. folks commenting on how many standing ovations the prime minister received. the cheers that he received when he spoke before congress. beyond that though is where opinions divided especially over the key issue of the impact the speech may or may not have in negotiations over iran s nuclear program. i am proud of our prime minister who came and said exactly what we feel. it is a bad deal. there is no doubt that prime minister netanyahu knows how to make good speeches but let s confess the truth. that speech that we heard earlier this evening, as impressive as it may be did not prevent the iranian nuclear program. it will have no impact on the agreement that is being formed nor on the schedule. that madison isaac heart zog the man that benjamin netanyahu is locked in a tight race with now. the election is in two weeks. that s a key factor testimony might not be the only motivation behind the prime minister s speech but seen from israel, many folks think that the speech was targeting or trying in at least part to woo over voters at home. that s why many commentators say they re interested in seeing what new surveys and polls show over the coming days to see how the message sits with israeli voters. kate bolduan cnn, jerusalem. as expected the speech didn t go over well with iranians. many insist the nuclear program is peaceful and the country has a right to develop it. fred pleitgen brings us opinions now from tehran. reporter: it s not a surprise that benjamin netanyahu s speech didn t get much live airplay in tehran. many here certainly followed what israel s prime minister had to say, and the vast voter didn t like it. america is trying to reach something with iran. you know an agreement. but netanyahu, israel is trying to make it like you know stop banning us. reporter: nuclear negotiations and the looming deadline for a framework agreement are among the biggest topics in iran these days. while most are cautiously optimistic others say they don t believe an agreement will come through. are you confident there will be an agreement? yes. reporter: why? because iran exists to finish this problem. also america exists to finish this problem during the president obama. they made us lose hope and everything. i don t think i don t think so. i don t have belief in anything. reporter: it remains unclear how much of its atomic capabilities haven t willing to give up in exchange for sanctions relief. most iranians believe their country has a right to develop a nuclear program, especially a peaceful one. reporter: nuclear technology is a thing of national pride for many here. if you talk people they will tell you they badly want the sanctions to be lifted so they can finally get direct investment into the country and have a chance for economic development. the west is worried that iran could work to make a bomb if it its uranium enrichment isn t controlled. the iaea says tehran has not given enough information to prove the nuclear program is solely for civilian purposes. mum murandi, a professor at tehran university believes fear of iran s atomic ambitions are overblown. in a poll carry out in iran a month ago, 70% some of iranians believe that the nuclear program is completely peaceful. in addition the fact that the religious authorities in iran have given fatwas against nuclear weapons adds to this argument. reporter: but fatwas will do tloitsd ease the skepticism in western countries. while many iranians hope an agreement will come together that will ease their economic pain. fred pleitgen cnn, tehran. now another big story we re watching. outrage frommous as two of its citizens may soon face an indonesian firing squad. andrew chan and maran sukamaran were sentenced to death in indonesia for plotting to smuggle more than eight kilograms of heroin from indonesia to australia in 2005. we understand that just a short time ago the two were transferred from prison to an island where they are expected to be executed. we have the latest on the fate of these prisoners now live from bangkok. clemency denied quite forcefully by the president there. what options are left for the australians, and how much time do they have left? reporter: list and less and option less and less and options are growing thinner on the grown. a short while ago, our team in jakarta spoke to one of the lawyers for the two who said that they are still appealing both to the president and attorney general to hear their appeal, to let them hear the appeal before they proceed with the execution. as we know this morning, the two australians, taken away from bally s prison where they ve been balli s prison where they ve been since 2005, transferred to security island. it s where executions take place, a recent execution just last month, as well. so the wheels are in motion. we don t know whether they have been given the 72-hour heads up if you like about the execution taking place. hasn t definitely been shared with the public. but just to give an idea of the legal ranglings, this is still a little bit of legal battle going on a legal rang buildingling between the sides. what the lawyers for both are saying is lock the president, since he came into government has outright denied any form of clemency any kind of appeals. and he is not giving them due process. this isn t justice as far as they re concerned. they want to hear this to be heard in court. they want people to know that these are two men who have been rehabilitated. andrew chan is a preacher in prison in fact. and the other is mentoring other inmates using art classes. they re saying they are reformed characters. nascar, the foreign minister in fact the foreign minister is saying these two as far as drugs crimes are concerned are models for what the world over is trying to achieve with drug-regular crimes. errol? and it s an interesting point because execution for a failed drug smuggling attempt does seem harsh. indonesian officials have made it clear that s the law of the land there. why has the president been so hardline on this case? in previous executions you had brazilian officials saying the fact they executed a brazilian national will impact diplomatic relations. why is he taking such a hard line on this? the execution seems incredibly harsh, particular flee australia. the prime minister tony abbot said we abhor drug crimes but we also abhor the death penalty. he said australians will be sickened to their stomach early morning hearing that the prisoners have been moved to execution island. now, the president despite many appeals directly from tony abbot, i mentioned the prime minister bishop as well has refused to back down or bow down perhaps this is a stance that he wants people to see since he s come in to government. but he s going to stand firm. he s. a man that s going to be turning back on any of his decisions. he spoke to cnn exclusive lyly and said no compromise no compromise on drug related crimes because it s a huge issue. 18,000 people die every year in drug-related issues. this is the way he plans to stamp it out. human rights watch, of course has released a statement saying this is not the way to stamp it out. it doesn t deter people from carrying out those crimes as you ve seen with these two australians. live in thailand as these two australians ahn who understand are on their way or have arrived already on a place known as execution island. we ll keep our viewers updated on what unfolds over the next few hours. thanks. still to come federal agents crack down on dozens of locations in california that they say were being used for so-called maternity tourism wham that means coming up. we ll bring you details on a damning probe that shows widespread reports on police in ferguson. and a difficult landing in kathmandu. let s hide in the attic. no. in the basement. why can t we just get in the running car? are you crazy? let s hide behind the chainsaws. smart. yeah. ok. if you re in a horror movie, you make poor decisions. it s what you do. this was a good idea. shhhh. be quiet. i m being quiet. you re breathing on me! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance you switch to geico. it s what you do. head for the cemetery! nobody told us to expect it. intercourse that s painful due to menopausal changes it s not likely to go away 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

dementia. ask your doctor about premarin vaginal cream. welcome back. we can report on scathing report for the u.s. city of federal ferguson. the justice department of ferguson, missouri. the justice department says it s found a pattern of discrimination against african-americans by the city s police and by the courts as well. u.s. attorney general eric holder ordered the civil rights probe after the death of michael brown, an unarmed black teen shot by a white officer. the officer was not charged in the killing. the full report is expected to be made public later today. let s show you some of the findings. it just spanned from 2012 to 2014. for two years here african-americans coulded for 85% of traffic stops in cases where police used force. 88% were against blacks. 93% of people arrested in that time frame were african-american. for perspectivespencerperspective, consider that 67% of the city s population is black. investigators also found racial jokes in government emails. some people were trading jokes. i ll read you one of them that refers to in 2008 november right after the election of president barack obama, one person sent an e-mail in which he said president obama wouldn t likely last in office for very long because what black man holds a steady job for four years. this is when the justice department says was going on been the scenes and it underscores and backs up what we heard on the streets there in ferguson when we were down there and people were protesting after the killing of michael brown. we ll talk about this more in depths now with cnn s senior analyst jeffrey toobin joining us from designees.c. this report substantiates what so many black residents had been telling cnn that for years the police and court systems discriminated against them. what do you make of the concrete proof that we found inside the department of justice report? it s a very damning report and i think it explains some of the anger that we saw in ferguson. obviously the precipitating factor for the anger of the killing of michael brown, an unarmed african-american young man, by darren wilson a ferguson police officer. but the roiling resend. that african-americans felt resentment that african-americans felt in ferguson after years of mistreatment by the police start to come clear in this report and now the question is what is anyone going to do about it. i think one of the most troubling aspects is that it appears there was a real policy in ferguson to essentially use petty citations, things like jaywalking that disproportionately affected black residents to balance the city budget. i mean, how explosive is that in and of itself? well this is really i think, going to be a big national story. it s not just in ferguson. you have a lot of communities where the people in charge are reluctant to raise taxes. but they still obviously need money. they are using law enforcement as an income-generating department. and they are doing that by doing lots of petty arrests, as you pointed out jaywalking various traffic infractions, and those police arrests, investigations have fallen heavily on poor and minority people. this is really becoming a civil rights issue in the united states. dpergs is just the tip of the iceberg. we want to watch closely to what happened in ferguson. you mentioned the department of justice will officially release the report wednesday. then what? what is the way to fix such a systemic issue? reporter: what the justice department is trying to do is they are entering probably entering on what s call a consent decree. that s essentially an agreement between the city and the justice department to make changes did. hasn t been spelled out yet. usually what that means is that changes in training changes in certain policies perhaps a move toward hiring more african-american police officers. this is a 67% black city and only a bare handful, i think less than 10% of the police force is african-american. that s a huge problem right there. so the justice department will reach the agreement and then put in place supervision to make sure that it s followed. yeah, at the least you do have this report which now puts a magnifying glass on really the warts of the city. some of its least favorable aspects. jeffrey toobin senior legal analyst from d.c. we appreciate your insight to. okay, errol. now for the latest scandal out of washington. hillary clinton is under fire using only a personal e-mail account and not her government account while she was u.s. secretary of state. a clinton aid tells cnn there is a reasonable explanation. clinton had a blackberry before she became secretary of state and kept using it after she joined the obama administration. the white house is defending clinton s actions but stressing the importance of preserving e-mail record. take a listen. we encourage people to use their official government e-mail account when they re conducting official government business. however, when a personal e-mail account is involved the law suggests or the law mandates in fact that that record be properly preserved, and they and that can be done by forwarding it to an official government e-mail where it s preserved on the system. that s what secretary clinton s team did. since clinton left office the national archive laws have changed. private accounts are only to be used for government business in the case of emergencies. a rousing reception for israel s prime minister from members of the u.s. congress. we ll show you why some democrats say he might have changed their minds on nuclear talks with iran. sometimes romantic. there were tears in my eyes. and tears in my eyes. and so many little things that we learned were really the biggest things. through it all, we saved and had a retirement plan. and someone who listened and helped us along the way. because we always knew that someday the future would be the present. every someday needs a plan. talk with us about your retirement today. denver international is one of the busiest airports in the country. we operate just like a city and that takes a lot of energy. we use natural gas throughout the airport - for heating the entire terminal generating electricity on-site and fueling hundreds of vehicles. we re very focused on reducing our environmental impact. and natural gas is a big part of that commitment. an ounce at the kathmandu airport left a turkish airlines plane stranded between the tarmac and a grassy area. we not the plane skidded you off the runway during skidded off the runway during landing. i know there s new information coming in to us. the fact that there were two attempts we understand to land. the international wing of the airport is closed but what do we know about what went wrong this morning? reporter: that s right. it s a bit too early for officials to say for sure what exactly went wrong. most of them are saying now that poor visible seems to be the main reason here. it s been raining nonstop for the past few days which is unusual for this time of the year. officials say the plane actually circled around kathmandu valley for an hour and a half trying to land. one passenger we spoke to said he think the plane circled around kathmandu valley about seven times and made two attempts to land. the first time it got very, very close to the runway but took off again. the announcement was made that this was due to the poor visibility and when the second tampa of made again about 45 minutes later, the plane actually crash-landed. the witness, the passenger said he heard a loud sound and a plane skidded for 15 to 20 seconds and into that grass area of the runway which you can probably see in the picture now. the nose is on the ground, as you see. the front landing gear seems to have completely collapsed. and the evacuation slides are out. and of course all the passengers all 224 of them were evacuate edd safely. one official said there seemed to be a small technical problem but didn t elane rat. poor visibility elab be rate. poor visibility is blamed but they re looking into it further. as you say, possible technical problem, but combined with this visibility issue and we can see this n those pictures we know of course there s fog we can see that. it happened early in the morning. talk to us about usual flying conditions what they are typically and why they would have perhaps gone ahead with this given that it s almost zero visibility from what we re saying there? reporter: i fly to nepal all the time actually and normally during this time of the year the skies are very clear the beginning of the climbing season the trekking season to the himalayas, the best time to see the mountains. we were just there a few days ago, and it was raining nonstop even then. the plane did circle around a few times to land. it took about an hour for us to land. and the plane was delayed whether we tried to take off, as well. this is again maybe two on three days ago. so this is very unusual for, you know, for nepal, this weather during this kind of time. plane crashes especially smaller aircraft do crash quite regularly especially in the domestic sector of nepal. it is considered one of the most difficult places one of the most difficult countries to land in especially higher up in the himalayas. we saw a smaller aircraft crash about a year ago. so higher it up s more difficult place to land, but this is the first time in over two decades that we re seeing anything significant happen to a larger aircraft in kathmandu valley. all right. monitoring the situation in new delhi from kathmandu, nepal. thanks. u.s. federal agents cracking down on what they re calling maternity tourism in southern california. outside o tuesday they raided more than three dozen so-called maternity hotels where foreign women are about to give birth. the alleged purpose is to have children born with american citizenship. officials say the sites catered largely to women from china who paid up to $50,000 give birth in the states. before he was one of the sinister voices of isis he was apparently a shy british school boy. coming up, new details about the odyssey of the man now known as jihadi john. plus a fugitive former nsa contractor edward snowden, wants to return to the united

stories. two australians days away from appearing before a firing squad. andrew chan and myuran sukumaran have been moved to execution island despite calls for clemency. they were viced for trying to smuggle heroin. nsa leaker edward snowden is in negotiations to return to the united states. only if he s guaranteed a fair trial. that s according to his lawyer who says a plan is currently in the works that could make that happen. snowden leaks thousands of classified u.s. documents before taking asylum in russia back in 2013. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says negotiations with iran all but guarantee the country would develop nuclear weapons. hoe made his case against the deal in a speech to the u.s. congress tuesday. the white house says netanyahu s speech contained nothing new. more than 50 members of congress boycotted mr. netanyahu s speech. some calling it just a stunt. they say a stupt to help him win re-election. one congressional leader who did attend was house democratic leader nancy pelosi. chief congressional correspondent dana bash has details on her reaction. reporter: if you got any glimpses of her on the floor sitting on the house floor watching the prime minister she was visibly miffed. just sort of like the president looked shortly after, she was agitated and she put out a statement shortly after saying that she was nearly in tears and in near tears throughout the prime minister s speech saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the united states. let the me play as well what she said afterwards when those of us in the press corps tried to get her to elaborate on that. the united states of america has as one of the pillars of its national security and its foreign policy to stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. that s what we do. and that s what the president is doing in negotiations. if the deal isn t gived in we won t accept isn t good enough we won t accept. i don t think we needed lectures that. that s my view. reporter: to be clear, she is in one camp of the democratic party, many of those actually didn t even show up. she had a different kind of responsibility because she is the house leader. but there are a lot of democrats, and i know you heard them all day today, jake you saw them applauding very energetically, that agree with the prime minister. and they don t think that this deal that their fellow democrat in the white house working with the allies is going down the right path. there s very much a split here about the reaction to not just whether the prime minister should have given the speak spooech, but more personally speech but more personally whether the message was accurate or frankly, offensive. dana bash speaking with jake tapper earlier. that s the democratic response, you could see. meantime congressional republicans had nothing but the highest praise for mr. netanyahu s speech. house majority whip tried to downplay any political differences. it s a small group of people i think that might have opposed it. i think most americans embraced it. the president himself i think tried to inject politics into it. but i thought the prime minister did a really good job tactfully. at the beginning of a speech at defusing policewomen political implications. defusing political implications. you saw not only republicans but democrats standing up giving standing ovations, more standing ovations than i may have seen for state of the union addresses. secretary of state john kerry and iran s foreign minister are heading up the nuclear negotiation s negotiations in switzerland. the foreign policy chief says the talks are going well. she is urging all parties to keep up the diplomatic efforts. the us and other western countries are offering to ease crippling economic sanctions if iran agrees to curb its nuclear program. despite prime minister netanyahu s urgent warnings israel s intelligence agency actually reached a different conclusion about tehran s nuclear threat. leaked documents say iran was not working toward a nuclear weapon. christiane amanpour asked israel s intelligence officer about that. take a listen. reporter: how do you explain your own intelligence saying that hang on, he s got the timeline wrong? this is not the case. i am prime minister of intelligence speaking on almost a daily basis with the people of intelligence head of musaad. i am getting all the reports on a daily basis and telling you that we now estimate that the forthcoming agreement it s not concluded yet, but from what we see will give less than a year breakout time in the next few years, that after five or six years, the breakout time will even be reduced, and after ten years when some of the restrictions will be all that will be lift, it might be even one month breakout time for material for many bombs. in our next hour, we ll get reaction from the director of the american jewish committee in israel on those suspense. iraqi forces are battling

british officials questioned him. after what i just told you, after i told you that was happening is extremism, this and that you re suggesting that i m an extremist. yeah just going on trying to put

behavior problems with him. by the sixth form he d settled. he was working hard and achieved great grades. reporter: how did you first heard that emwazi was in the historic videos? what was your reaction? my blood ran cold. honestly even now when i hear the name, i find it difficult to marry what i ve clearly seen on the tv with the person that i knew. it literally makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. reporter: for the people who knew him it is difficult to fathom that mum emwazi is muhammad emwazy is the man behind the mask. for his family believed to be in quiet it is a

least 30 people are believed to be dead after a coal mine explosion in the eastern part of the country. this report coming to us from the reuters news service. now this explosion at a coal mine happened this the don ecoregion. you ll know this is controlled by russian-backed rebels. and it s an area of conflict over the past few millions. local official tell righter that rescue workers have not been able to make it to the part of the mine where the explosion took place. they have to remove poisonous gas first. this is still a serious situation. just to repeat, reuters reporting at least 30 people believed to be dead after a coal mine explosion there in the donetsk region. we will bring you more information as we get it. for now we want to turn to pakistan which leads the world in the number of new cases of polio. now officials are locking up parents who refuse get their children vaccinated. more than 500 parents have been arrested in just the past couple of days. journalist michelle stockman is in islamabad to tell us more. michelle, talk to us about why these parents are not getting their children vaccinated against polio, and whether they understand the consequences if their children do contract polio. reporter: that s right. 513 parents were arrested. they have been released. signing an affidavit that they will vaccinate their children. there s a number of reasons that parents resist vaccinating their children. this is a small minority 5% of parent are refusers. some of the reasons include that they worry about the effect of the vaccine on their children. there s rumors that it causes sterilization. they also don t consider this particular vaccine to be of importance equal to other things such as for roads, lack of water lack of electricity. and they re resisting the vaccine as a way to protest again the government asking them to address these other problems. there are also wishes militancy. since 2012, the taliban has banned the vaccine in areas under its influence. not own that, they ve gone after health care worker that go door to door dropping off this vaccine to the children. over 70 health care workers have been gunned down, most on the job since 2012. and so to them, it s a matter of other things are more person. more important. at this point what tell take for parents to be released? presumably they will be forced to have their children vaccinated. but what if some refuse to do that? reporter: right now we re not aware of what the consequences will be if they don t follow through on the affidavit they have signed. this is an issue of primary importance for the government. there s a lot of embarrassment and public backlash for the province. there are 2.7 million children, tens of thousands at risk because their parents have refused the vaccine. the highest number of cases are coming from this province. spam last year the high ever number be in the world, 327, currently leads the world in new cases with 13. the government is serious. say that sent out armed guards with the health care workers to try and make sure this happens. this is an effort to really push this vaccine campaign through. all right. reporting from islamabad where the government is really cracking down on parents. many thanks to you. now a new documentary about china s smog problem is a massive hit on line. under the dome has already gotten more than 100 million views since its release sudden night. some have criticized the film and the chinese journalist who made it saying it doesn t get into solutions. earlier, jennifer turner of the china environment forum at the wilson center in washington explained why she thinks this has gone viral. reporter: it s a very powerful film. and she s an excellent investigative journalist but she s also tapped into what are the real fears that the chinese public has had. they ve seen the air quality getting worse and worse the last few years. and she tells us well, it s been going on even longer. she s not there just to fearmonger now create, i think a primer of where is this coming from. it s the coal, the oil, steel. and it s true that while she is pointing to problems with the industry, she s also equally damning of the poor regulation, the poor enforcement and looking at the gaps in governance. what i thought of positive about it was how many people spoke to her quite openly. government researchers, i mean people on the street, obviously. and many internet users are compare have compared under the dome to an inconvenient truth, the documentary on climb change by former u.s. vice president al gore. for more on ongoing problems in china, we if to meteorologist pedram javaheri. fantastic movies aside, that hasn t really done much to change policy. climb change and these things continue to be an issue. what s the initial china? the world s large ever population is china. the largest manufacturing sector is also in china as well. you put those together it s not a good recipe. the pattern the last ten years, we ve seen the lung cancer rates double across beijing in particular. they ve doubled, and the smoking rates have dropped. when you think about the numbers, it s remarkable. want to show what we have as far as the air quality concerns. you typically see it in beijing unhealthy to very unhealthy, eventually for the hazardous category. at this point unusual, but in the last couple of days in the good to moderate scale. the aqi, when you get to above 500, becomes hazardous. at times we ve seen this beyond index or some 20 times higher than what the world health organization would consider to be holiday. you know los angeles has a distinct for poor air quality. if los angeles were to be placed in china, out of the 74 cities the environmental protection agency tracks air quality they would have the cleanest air in the 80 scale, the moderate scale, the worst compare to the beyond index. north of the line 500 million people reside. what occurred here in 1950 the chinese government disseminated some free coal for the people across the region because north of the line climatologically speaking is when the winter temperature is below freezing. you naught into perspective and look at what s transpired in recent years. pollution levels, 55% higher. studies finding that life expectancy across the area of china, 5.5 years shorter because of the fine particulates into the atmosphere. unfortunately, when you look at the weather pattern we know warm air typically less dense is above the more dense cooler air. the cooler air traps some of the particulates at the surface level where the 500 million people are breathing and it becomes a dangerous scenario for a lot of people across the portion of the world.
