Socalled refugee karavan is marching towards the border. Right now more than 1,000 people are trying to seek asylum. Boris sanchez is with the pld in West Palm Beach and layla is in mexico city where migrants are marching. What can you tell us about this refugee caravan. I believe weve gotten a response from the Mexican Government on this . I want to point out in the last five or ten minutes, mexicos foreign minister has actually tweet and this is a change. Earlier they said they were not going to spobd to President Trumps tweets now he tweets and i quote, every day mexico and the u. S. Work together on migration throughout the region. Facts clearly reflect this. Inaccurate news report should not serve to question this strong cooperation upholding Human Dignity and rights is not at odds with the rule of law. He adds happy easter. That is coming from the foreign minister of mexico in response to President Trumps tweets this morning. Now, one of the things that he mentioned were the quote unquote caravans. In mexico during holy week, when people talk about caravans, they are youll lusually talking abot religious marches that have become somewhat of a tradition here and really become symbolic. Most notable right now, there are a group theres a group with more than 1,000 people right now who are not just marching for religious reasons put used this to be symbolic and make a statement about migration, many of them come from Central America. El salvador, honduras and they are basically say being they are using this as a way to make a statement on the conditions and realities in Central America. Now, this group right now has more than 1,000. Right now they plan to make their way north and they tell us that some of those when they get to the border will seek asylum upon reaching the u. S. But not all. Thank you for that update and that context. Lets go over to boris who is with the president in West Palm Beach, florida. Boris, the president had some tough words this morning. Are we finally getting any clarity from the white house as to exactly how the president was connecting this march through mexico to dac and these big other immigration issuesize confronting . No confirmation yet from the white house, ryan. But we can kind of surmise what was happening while the president was asending these tweets. Shortly before he sent them out there was a report on a cable news station about this caravan of immigrants marching through Central America into mexico. Some of them headed for the United States to seek asylum or enter the country illegally. You saw the president responding to a television report via twitter as he often does. Harking back to his language in the 2016 Campaign Going back to day one when he announced he was run for president saying mexico was not sending their best in his words. The president also calling for republicans in the senate to exercise the Nuclear Option to go over the filibuster and pass a simple majority to get Immigration Reform done. Something Mitch Mcconnell has said he simply would not do. Then the president went further in a pair of tweets saying mexico is doing next to nothing to stop flow of drugs and immigrants from entering the United States, threatening to ends the north American Free trade agreement saying the United States needs auali wall. He didnt Say Something he often did on campaign trail that mexico should pay for the wall. This comes on the heels of a report that the president discussed the military, the department of defense funding the construction of the border wall with the secretary of defense james mattis, and perhaps the most questionable tweet of all, the president writing that these mig grants coming to the United States now are trying to get in on the act when it comes to daca. Its unclear exactly what the president meant. None of these arrivals whether they are coming today or weeks ago or months ago are eligible for daca. Not only because of the individual requirements within the program itself, but also because the president himself ended the program back in september of last year. Of course, since then, courts have weighed in and decided that dreamers that are currently here have Legal Protection until courts decide what they are going to do. They can renew the legal status but no one coming into the country can take advantage the president is saying of daca. Thank you for that important point. We appreciate it live in West Palm Beach. Professor at princeton university, julian zell zer and samantha vin na grab. Weve seen the white house dangle these trade agreements as a negotiating tactic in the past. Does mexico play ball now they havent until this point. This is a prime example why trump should consult with advisers before issuing tweets, whats the point of this tweet other than to os tra size the mexicans and upset the dreamers waiting to see whats going to happen. If President Trump didnt live in his own eco chamber, he would have consulted with the National Security council and gotten up to speed on the fact theres a president ial election and Campaign Season under way. Theres zero chance that any of the mexican president ial candidates are going to express a willingness to pay for a border wall in the runup to the mexican election. Theres politics at play in mexico just like politics are at play in the United States. And thats just something that his advisers would have told him. Whether or not he would have listened is a different story. The president also tweeting no more daca deal, says republicans should go the Nuclear Option to pass tougher laws for the border. Thats Something Senate republicans have expressly said they are not interested in doing, getting rid of the filibuster requirement. Should the president be using the fate of 800,000 Daca Recipients as a bargaining chip for other items he would like to see accomplished . No, he shouldnt but hes already done it. By dismantling the program to begin with, that was the whole strategy. This became a bargaining chip rather than a program affecting all of these young people who are depending on the program to continue. This is the president we have and the way he conducts his business. Hes not listening to any advisers, i dont know if they are pushing him in a different direction but what hes really doing is stirring up his supporters who have liked this message from day one. Going after trade and going after immigrants and it will make 2 that much harder to actually restore this program in the coming months. Julian talks about the advisers the president is hearing from, youre talking about this eco chamber. This is who the president met with this weekend, corey lewandowski, the former campaign chairman, and david bossi and had dinner with his long time friend don king. Not necessarily moderating voices but people that usually push in to the president s kind of bully tactics. Should he be receiving Strategic Policy advice from these people that arent even a member of this administration . Does that raise any security alarm bells to you . It raszs an alarm bell. The president should be allowed to have free time. They are not who i choose to have dinner myself. The president should have personal time. The real issue is when hes supposed to be working, hes not actually listening to anyone. I dont know how much time President Trump has actually spent for example in the situation room having National Security council meetings. Those are long meetings and can drag on for hours. Do we know if hes gone to the situation room and chaired National Security council meetings. The issue here is there are senior directors at the National Security council and president has a cabinet but they are not getting through to them. To me this comes back to john kelly, chiefs of staff, part of their job is to manage the president s schedule to make sure the president s schedule is filled with meetings that are beneficial to the president and beneficial to the country. And it looks like john kelly has completely lost control of any ability to do that. Some advisers telling him he doesnt need a chief of staff. Rex tillerson is gone from the state department and John Sullivan now serving as the acting secretary of state, the state Department Spokesperson tweeting that news today saying that quote, they will be in it will be in John Sullivans steady hands as mike pompeo moves through the nomination process. The probable here theres no confirmation hearings scheduled for pompeo. I mean, this instability, not knowing whos going to be running the state department, could that cause trouble for this administration, specifically when there are so many big Foreign Policy issues at stake right now . This is part of a larger story weve seen in the trump presidency. The state department has been secondary even with tillerson at the helm. He wasnt very aggressive in filling positions in the state department its been an institution that has been greatly weakened. There is no strong diplomatic voice. In the oval office we dont have diplomats doing the work necessary to counter act are the the the more militaristic voices in the white house. There will be a problem with negotiations with north korea. You need the expertise and sense ibltd or these kinds of negotiations dont work. The white house saying at one point it could come as soon as may. Well have to see what does occur. Thank you so much for your expertise.

The workweek is kicking off with a wave of teacher strikes and walkouts across the country. Teachers in oklahoma are planning to walk off their jobs tomorrow even though lawmakers gave them a raise of 6100. Oklahoma educators argue its not enough and they are planning to strike tomorrow. On friday teachers in several kentucky counties called out sick and protested at the state capital. Kentucky educators are upset about changes to their pension plan and thousands of those kentucky teachers say they plan to rally at the State Capitol tomorrow. Joining me now to discuss this is deanna al bright a fifth grade teacher in grayson kentucky. I understand youre planning to protest at the State Capitol tomorrow. Tell us why you and fellow educators are upset about the changes to the pension plan . Well, no one has really had a chance to thoroughly look at the pension plan, including the legislators and representatives that pass the bill thursday night. My understanding and what i watched on kut. Org, which is archived, it made then a Committee Meeting and quickly passed to move it to the house to be voted on. And what this is is the senate bill, 151, was or is a sewer water waste bill. And they ended up putting putting pension reform in that bill and no one knew it was going to be voted on that night. They met in urgency until about 10 00, passed it through the house and passed it through the senate. And to my understanding, no public input was allowed and no one knew it was coming. So thats one of our biggest things. Teachers in kentucky do not receive social security, so our pension is our teacher retirement is our pension so let me ask you, Governor Bevin said he supports this bill. Hes basically the last line of defense before it gets signed into law. He said this bill was necessary to essentially protect your pension plan. Obviously you disagree with that. Do you have any hope you can convince the governor to change his mind and veto the bill . I hope so. As far as retired and current teachers, so far what legislators are telling us is that it may not hurt us as bad as Senate Bill One was initially planned on doing, which was Governor Bevins intention to begin with and until we started protesting. So i do feel like that there has been some safeguarding maybe by us being vocal. However, what it does protect is the future educators of kentucky. Because start gs i want to say july, 2018, new highers are going to go into whats called a hybrid cash value plan. And they will not have been any guarantee for pension. So in other words, its going to be hard to retain due to quality future educators in the state of kentucky and how far are you willing to take this . Are we i know you have one sick out planned. Will you do it more through the year . What if the bill gets signed into law . How strong of a stand are you willing to take . Im ready to do whatever we need to. Tomorrow night or tomorrow they are going to be passing the budget and for the two years and that budget is going to attack public schools. Were going to lose funding if all the cuts are made. Were going to lose a lot of funding and our schools are already under funded in my opinion. And if we lose the funding that is in in bill for public schools, our kids are going to be impacted as far as losing personnel, losing things that are needed to run a classroom and transportation, extracurricular activities, humanities courses, theres a lot at stake here. Even our counseling could be cut because of these fundings. And another thing is they are wanting to use some of that funding to put into Charter Schools. I dont know a lot about Charter Schools but i do know they are profitable business and i dont agree with public tax dollars going into a public business and if that the Charter School closes because they start losing money, those students are thrown back into the public setting and the way i understand Charter Schools, they pick and choose who goes to the schools deanna obviously theres a lot of issues at stake in kentucky. Well have to see how this sickout plays and how the governor responds to your careers. Deanna albright in kentucky, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you. Id just like to enkoushlg all kentucky yans to throw up in frankfurt tomorrow. Happening now, President Trump heading back to washington, d.

What do we want . Justice. Protesters marching for another night demanding justice for Stephon Clark the unarmed black man shot and killed by police, outrage intensifying after a demonstrator was injured by a deputys car that drove away. Just a warning, some people may find this video disturbing. No justice. No justice. Oh, my god, oh, my god. Cnns ryan young joins us live from sack men toe. You were at the protest last night, ryan, youre now at the intersection where this took place. What more can you tell us . This really did intensify. This is the intersection protesters were blocking the street. Traffic was blocked up for a mile down the road. A sheriffs deputy vehicle was trying to move through protesters they are reporting that people starting rocking and kicking that vehicle and thats why the acceleration happen and protesters say you can see a woman move out in front and put her hand out and thats when the bump happened. You could hear the screams and people getting angry. She was taken to the hospital. Were told she is going to be okay but then what happened out here over the next few hours, that got kind of scary. So far were six miles from downtown sacramento. There the Police Officers have played it safe and stood back from protesters. The sheriffs deputies were a lot closer and we saw them walk down to the middle of this intersection as you decide to take it back. That seemed to make protesters more angry. For first time we saw a little of that Tipping Point where you can hear people screaming profanities towards the officers. It seemed like it was going to get tense. Then using a helicopter high in the sky they were yelling this is an unlawful protest. Please disburse, a lot of people decided not to heed that warning. For several hours, you had to standoff. Luckily we didnt see arrests here last night. The focus from the protesters, they cant believe a woman protesting would have to go to the hospital after being hit by the sheriffs deputys car. They wanted to know why the car didnt stop. When you think about this, this is all about Stephon Clark, the 22yearold young man who was shot, several times by police, people wanted answers for that. Protesters not wanting to give up, got back in the road and started marching back up the street. No planned protest today today easter sunday, not sure if another will happen, last night was sporadic as well. Well have to wait and watch what happens next but there were a lot of people angry about the way last night ended. Ryan young will stay on the scene and keep us updated. A lot of tension in sacramento. Thank you for that report. Still ahead, Broadcasting Company sinclair taking heat for a mandated anchor promo that critics say attacks the media.

A mandated promo released by the sinclair Broadcasting Company which owns 200 television stations across the country is getting a lot of criticism for what some say is a manipulative meshage which bashes the media. Were extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that cbs 4 news produces but were concerned about trying to be responsible one sided news stories plaguing our country. Plaguing our country. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media, more alarming some Media Outlets publish the same fake stories without checking facts first. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming some Media Outlets saying things untrue without checking facts first. Unfortunately some members are using platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what the people think and this is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Its important to note that video compilation was put together by the website dead spin. I want to discuss the impact of it. Cnn media analyst bill carter is here to talk about. Your overall impression what you saw there. Well, you know, its kind of scary to see Something Like that all put together at once. It is a propagandalike message thats coming out across the country in a sort of a formalized way. I think thats why its kind of disturbing to people. These individuals its not their opinion, its a corporation telling them what to say. I think thats the reason people are really alarmed about it. Bill, i was a local television anchor for close to 20 years. I know a lot of these people in this promo, they are good quality journalists and proud of their work. I mean, is this a problem when you have a corporation coming down to the local level and telling these anchors what to say . Thats not necessarily how the editorial process worked in the many different stations that i worked in when i was in local television. No, whats interesting about this, its the anchor is the most prominent local faces and names are the people they are telling to say that this corporate message they want to put out. Its not an editorialist for these individual channels its like this corporate message being put out by the anchors as though they have no individual points of view. They are giving the corporate point of view. The other thing thats sort of crazy and ironic about this, that their message is its a one sided media out there. The most one sided media seems like this company, this company is sending the same message out across the country with the same sort of impact and not letting any individual think for themselves its and saying its biased and prejudice and fake news, all of that is a trump message and this is a company that we know made a deal with the Trump Administration the campaign during the election to get special coverage. The whole thing is off putting. For people who really understand how media works, its really a disturbing trend. Didnt it put these local anchors in a very difficult position . These are not millionaires. They are getting paid a very small sum as it relates to some in journalism and its very difficult especially if youre coming up in the local news game to not touch sinclair in some way, shape or form. Arent the local anchors between a rock and hard place in many ways. They are. They could say im not doing this, this is my position, not my point of view, i wont say this but they can easily find someone else who will and they want to protect their livelihoods, whats even worse, sinclair is angling to buy Tribune Media which will add vastly to the coverage and theyll have many of these more stations like this, the reach will be basically nationwide, theyll have 70 covered by the local station. They are going to have enormous impact and the anchors will not have that many places to go. A lot of jobs will be swept up by sinclair media. And there is a lot of good reporting done in many of these stations, i can tell you that firsthand. Lets transition now and talk about roseanne, with the reboot of her television show. This is what she tweeted in the last 24 hours. President trump has freed so many children held in bondage to pimps all over the world, hundreds each month and broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere, notice that. I disagree on some things that give him the benefit of doubt for now. She deleted that tweet but we believe shes talking about this Conspiracy Theory called the storm which is kind of used in the dark corners of the far right internet. Shes got a much bigger platform to have her voice heard now because of the success of the show. Is this something abc should be worried about . They definitely should be worried about it. This is pretty outrageous Conspiracy Theory stuff that she is putting out there. She has an enormous platform now because shes now got this gigantic hit show back on the air. Abc wants to take advantage of that but that isnt the only tweet she put out in the last five or ten years that is completely outrageous. She put out a tweet about Hillary Clinton that was so over the top offensive during the campaign, i mean, its not a disney brand kind of thing to be involved in this. I do think right now disney is froblly thinking this through and wondering maybe we should have checked this out before she got back on the air. And already ordered a Second Season of it. Exactly. I wonder, if you actually watch the episode of roseanne, it seem as if they dealt with support for donald trump in a nuanced way which is how Many Americans view the president which could have been a healthy part of the discussion. Is this what shes tweeting take away from what could be a positive conversation about politics . I think it does. I think thats the point that was the point they were trying to raise. Okay, this is a representative of Middle America and there are Middle Americans many who support President Trump. So its perfectly legitimate to have her on and discuss issues that they are going to get into stories like the Opioid Crisis and health care and all of that in the future episodes and handle it in an even handed way. You know the people writing these episodes are probably not trump supporters. Its going to be a more sophisticated presentation. Her own personal view, which she has expressed so outrageously online is going to get mixed up in this now and cause people to react and undoubtedly some people will say i wont watch the show because of what roseanne is saying and back into that lets go into our corners and fight it out. The difference between the character and the person, very difficult to separate for most americans. Exactly. Bill carter, thank you as always, we appreciate it. Actor and Comedian Bill Cosby headed back to court. Its been less than a year for since first trial ended in a hung jury. It is happening during a new era. Women are speaking up about assault and people are beginning to listen. Cnns jean casarez has more. Reporter with the momentum of me too and public accusations against hollywood, only one major celebrity has been charged with a felony sexual offense. Americas dad, bill cosby. The comedian and tv legends retrial beginning now with jury selection. The atmosphere has shifted. Its not a very favorable time to be defending yourself against accusations of sexual assault. Charged with three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault, the 80yearold cosby could face a decade in prison if convicted. Prosecutors say in 2004 he assaulted this woman, Andrea Constand at the time the director of Womens Basketball operations at Temple University in philadelphia. Diana parsons is her sister. And says it took a year before constand said anything about what happened and went to police. She said that she just knew she had to lie down and she said that bill cosby helped her to the coach, said she really couldnt walk on her own. Constand told police cosby drug and sexually assaulted her at his home in montgomery county, pennsylvania. Cosby denied the allegations. The District Attorney at the time said the case was weak. Did i think i could prove it beyond a reasonable doubt based on available credible and admissible evidence . No, i didnt. No criminal charges against cosby. Constand filed a civil suit. Cosby de cos cosby testified in a sworn deposition before they reached a settlement. Fast forward to 2015, that deposition was unsealed. Revealing cosby had admitted giving drugs to women he wanted to have sex with. Prosecutors reopened the criminal investigation and days before the statute of limitations ran out, cosby was charged in criminal court. Pennsylvania defense attorney brian mcman gal represented cosby from the beginning and he pleaded not guilty. A first trial last year ended in a hung jury. Shes entitled to a verdict in this case. Now a new trial with big differences. A new defense team for cosby lead by mom messer roe who got an acquittal for 2005 for michael jackson. Before representing cosby in 2015, he told cnn how he would question constand. The first thing i would ask her would be, whats more important to you, money or principle . Did you take money and walk away confidentially or did you take this to a jury and do it publicly . In the last trial, one other woman who said cosby drugged and assaulted her was allowed to testify for the prosecution. Kelly johnson. I remember waking up in a bed with mr. Cosby naked beneath his open robe. This trial the judge says five prior accusers can take the stand. One who has been subpoenaed, former super model janice did inson. The defense wants a witness by the name of marg go jackson to take the stand. She knew Andrea Constand and would testify that constand said she could fabricate everything that bill cosby drugged her and then she could get a lot of money. Prosecutors say that is blatantly false with no forensic evidence, the case is all about credibility. Jean casarez, cnn, norristown, pennsylvania.

Sup lady bacon fruit, there it is but we can guarantee that youll get the best price when you book with us. Holiday inn express. Be the readiest. Tonight on america dynasties, the kennedy, we look at how john f. Kennedy and his brother and attorney general robert f. Kennedy handled the threat of Nuclear Armageddon during the cuban missile crisis. The cuban missile crisis was a great example, between them and the importance of thinking five steps ahead. What would happen if you do this . Because if you just let the generals decide, they would have gone to war. Bobby kennedy would walk up and down the pool as jfk was swimming laps, talking to him. As he was swimming about their strategy, to try to neutralize this move towards war. Meanwhile, families across america prepare for the worst. Jackie kennedy herself was told that she and her family would be moved into a bunker, if any did happen. She refused and said no, i want to be here, i want to stand on the south lawn with my husband and children if the end comes. She was a sounding board for him during the cuban missile crisis and she kept him leveling headed and they had a lot of discussions. Isnt it amazing that someone who had to be so hurt personally by her husband would turn around and in his moment of greatest need when he said he would send her away to the bunker outside of washington, she said no. Joining us now to discuss this is cnn president ial historian tim neftali, remind me and viewers what started the cuban missile crisis in the first place and how close the world came to nuclear war . Well, ryan historians debate it. My point of view based on reading russian materials is that the russians were worried about the correlation of forces in the world. The soviets felt they were being pushed around and they were having a hard time developing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles so they decided to put Nuclear Missiles on the island of cuba. The United States before that had said the president made clear, drawing a red line, you dont ever put offensive weapons in cuba. We wont accept that. So the russians did it anyway and when the Kennedy Administration discovered the missiles the president was faced with a very difficult choice, how do you get the soviets to remove Nuclear Weapons from cuba without going to war . What was the key to the kennedy strategy here that made them successful in avoiding that war . Its something that our best president s understand which is you combine toughness and with empathy. You give your opponent a way out, a way to save face because you understand that if you push them into a corner and dont give them a chance to get out of the corner they may choose war even though they dont want it. John kennedy and bobdy kennedy, the two of them work closely together as youll see in the show or people see in the show tonight. They recognize that even though the soviets have pushed the United States, soviets lied to the United States and undertook a very dedicated deception operation, even so, avoiding nuclear war was the most important thing. You had to put aside the anger and find a way out. They did. They did it by understanding the soviets needed something in return and what they gave the soviets in return publicly was a promise not to invade cuba and secretly rethey removed missiles along the soviet border. Cant help but draw parallels to what were dealing with in the geoplilg landscape. Not dealing with a missile crisis and dealing with a dictator in kim jongun and president in the United States who is talking tough. Are there parallels to be drawn by the way the kennedys handled that and lessons President Trump could learn in present day . One of the things thats hard for us americans to understand, we can act responsibly but were still view ee eed as annist ent threat. Some powers react to our power by puffing themselves up like puffer fish and exaggerating their own objectives. The soviets did it throughout the cold war. They were behind most of the cold war.
