Benghazi. My dna, any trace of me is not there. Insistent on her innocence in an exclusive interview, amanda knox reacts to a new Italian Court that says shes guilty of murder. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Im errol barnett. We begin with reports of a large military operation in the eastern ukrainian city of sloviensk. Theres a special military operation there. One pro russian separatist has been killed and another wounded. Cnn confirms at least one military helicopter in this area and people there say theyve heard gunfire and explosions in the distance, but for the moment the town seems mostly quiet. Sloviensk is one of several locations recently seized and occupied by pro russia separatists. We have Nick Payton Walsh on the line now. Hes north of slovavyansk. If you can give us what information you have, especially the death thats been confirmed. Reporter let me tell you what weve seen. To the north of slavyansk, its a pro russian checkpoint. Now in quite reasonable number though not particularly effectively, ukraine iian troop seem pretty well organized some of them and others say theyre from the National Guard who are traveling around. A military helicopter flying along that highway. We can hear in the distance what may have been two rocket propelled explosions. The interior minister of the ukraine says that nine check points around slavyansk have been taken. They have made statements in the past in and around slavyansk to be slightly exaggerated or inaccurate. Weve seen a new phase around slavyansk. Those on the ground say things have been come parativelily quiet this morning. In town they have heard some shooting. Things were apparently quiet. There were also reports confirmed from the interior minister that a helicopter was being shot down and the pilot killed. Clearly a new phase in the operation here but one that youve seen in the past, havent had immediate resounding success against the pro russian militants. They are while not themselves being particularly well trained, they are organized. They are assisting them in what they are doing. We saw last night this may have been coming, we saw the withdrawal at the checkpoint which had been approached one time and another time. They pulled back 200 meters further down the road. Perhaps they were aware this may have been coming. All of that simply a precaution for the regions history. Were seeing a different phase of the ukrainian operation certainly moving in and around the town. A lot of that done by pro russian militants who it seems are beefing up the checkpoints. Errol. Senior International CorrespondentNick Payton Walsh just north of slavyansk on the continuing escalation of tenses there. In slavyansk there are seven oscd military observers being detained. Well continue to contact our correspondents there and bring you updates throughout the day. Now it could take another 8 to 12 months but they will find the plane, thats what officials from malaysia, australia and france promised people a short while ago. Its being broadcast from kuala lumpur. Cnn has lurnd malaysian, australian and chinese officials will meet to discuss the next steps of the search. Cnns will riply joins us from kuala lumpur. Will, if we look at the overall situation we know were not looking for debris on the surface. Theyre no longer Holding Daily briefings for the relatives of passengers. What else did they say at this press conference that gives us a sense of what will happen next . Reporter what we saw today is really what weve been expecting to see. The search now transitioning into this new phase. Thats what this tri lateral meeting on monday is all about. Its about china, malaysia and australia getting together and taking a look at what resources are available and coming up with a game plan, a blue print for how the search will continue in the 8 to 12 months to come. This is estimated to be a very costly move. 60 million. We know that private contractors with Technology Beyond the blue fin 21 will likely be brought in, something that will take weeks if not months to get them situated and in place. This is something people have been asking for, errol, wondering if theres anything out there to search deeper and search a wider area to do a more thorough search of the area where based on mathematics, physics, a team of experts in kuala lumpur strongly believe mh370 is sitting here. Listen to what the acting transport minister has to say about the process that lies ahead. Im quietly confident that we are on the right track but the challenges ahead is huge. Were getting more experts to make sure we remain focused often what were doing, i believe that we will find mh370. Hussein hishammuddin. And the lead investigator from air france, theyre asking him to be brought onto the investigation. He was part of the massive searches and knows what the crews will be up against, errol. Good to see the next steps and officials believe they will eventually find flight 370. Will riply live from kuala lumpur. Thanks, will. As i was mentioning a few moments ago, families of flight 370 passengers will no longer have a Central Location in beijing to meet with malaysian officials. Later in the program well take you live to beijing to get more on that perspective of this part of the story. Now nearly a week of heavy storms that claimed 38 lives across the u. S. Are still taking a toll. Take a look at this incredible video. Oh, my god. The screams there, but youre watching what they witnessed. An entire line of cars parked along the street. Just swallowed up in moments. The cars slid down to train tracks below. Its unclear what caused the collapse. This area had been hammered and inundated earlier in the day. Shocking stuff. All right. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Coming up for you, an empassioned defense of mayor rob ford who says hes seeking help for alcohol abuse. Also, an exclusive interview with an American Woman accused of killing her college roommate. Amanda knox says prosecutors dont have the evidence to back up their case. Also, huge crowds march in nigerias biggest cities. What they say police should be doing instead of watching over protests like this. Stay with us. At least nine people are dead, almost a dozen injured after a bus station bombing in nigeria. This happened in the capital just as workers were returning home from the may day holiday. No ones claimed responsibility but the attack happened 100 meters from where another blast killed 71 people last month. The Islamist Group said it was behind that bombing. The bombing comes as nigerians demand action in the kidnapping of 230 school girls more than two weeks ago. Huge crowds like the ones youre seeing here marched through the streets of lagos all demannig that they do more. The School Principal said 43 have escaped from their kidnappeders but 187 is still missing. One of the protestors says the government has to step up. Its very disheartening to know that young girls like you, like us are being held captive somewhere and just because of the idea that western education is wrong. The situation is very critical and its getting worse by the day and because they know that nothing is being done, more things are being done just so that they can scare people. We can do better, like we are the future generations, the voices of tomorrow. Our voices need to be heard. I feel like Everybody Needs to say something. Im not sure if youve noticed this online, but protesters around the world are also turning to social media to try to get help and answers. Youre looking at twitter now where people are using bringbackourgirls and bringbackourdaughters. On facebook theyre raising attention. Weve also been goating eye reports around the world of people speaking out on behalf of the abducted girls. You can check out those if you like and contribute your own at cnn. Com ireport. Now an attorney for embattled mayor rob ford says his client is in chicago although he wont say why. Ford announced he was taking a break from his Reelection Campaign to seek help for alcohol abuse. The toronto globe says two reporters have seen new video that allegedly shows ford smoking crack cocaine. Fords brother doug spoke with the media thursday. I am relieved that rob has faced his problems and has decided to seek professional help. Rob is very emotional when he told me the hardest thing about this is he knows he let people down. I love my brother. Ill continue to stand by my brother and his family throughout this difficult journey. Tough to watch there. Toronto city council stripped ford of most of his powers, you may remember, back in november. Now, this week we learned more about why an Italian Court again convicted amanda noiks and her then boyfriend for the 2007 murder of meredith kircher. Kircher was a british student who shared a home with knox when the killing took place. They convicted her for a second time in january. Just days ago the Italian Court released a 300 page explanation. The court says the evidence showed more than one person killed kircher. Knox insists theres no forensic evidence tying her to the crime. My dna, any trace of me, is not there. When youre talking about traces of me that they attribute to the crime scene, theyre talking about my dna in my own bathroom or my footsteps that tested negative for blood that had my dna and merediths dna on the floor between our bedrooms and the bathroom. Well, of course our dna was there. We lived there for a month. It was there. It tested negative for blood so it wasnt blood and so its irrelevant to the crime, but were talking about the crime that happened in merediths bedroom and there is no trace of us. If rudy goudea committed this crime, which he did, we know that because his dna is there on merediths body, around merediths body. His handprints and footprints in her blood. None of that exists for me. If i were there, i would have had traces of merediths broken body on me, and i would have left traces of myself around around merediths corps, and i am not there and that proves my innocence. Now we will have much more of chris cuomos interview of amanda knox in the next half hour. You want to see what else amanda knox told us at cnn. Authorities have Just Announced theyve brought down what they call a sextorsion ring. Investigators from the u. S. , u. K. And hong kong, they say theyve arrested 58 people. Authorities say they lured victims into online sex chats and black mailed them from exposing them to friends and family. This was triggered after a british teenager killed himself last year because of the black mail. Trading blame over benghazi, republicans accuse the Obama Administration of trying to cover up the cause of an attack that killed a u. S. Ambassador and three other americans. Well bring you the details on this after the break. Welcome back, everyone. Two of americas big three automakers reported good news. Chrysler reported 14 increase year on year. Thats its best april performance since 2007. Gm or general motors, the biggest of the three, finished the month with a 7 gain. Number two ford saw an unexpected 1 drop. Traes interesting because it came on the same day that an announcement from the top came. As he explained to richard quest, he did it without a government bailout. Reporter did you ever for a moment consider taking government money . Richard, we did not, and that was one of the most important decisions that we made, but in addition to that as you well remember and reported, we decided to actually testify on behalf of our competitors that were bankrupt and we did that which is very strange in itself. We did that because of the importance of the industry to the u. S. Economy but also the u. S. Economy and the world economy. We knew that they were in free fall, we could have taken the United States into a depression. Even though they are our competitors, we absolutely believed it was the right thing to do even though we didnt need the money because we were welling along on our plan to transform ford. Mulally will retire july 1st. Mark fields will move up from chief operating officer to take his place. If you think back to this time last week Samantha Moore was warning of a tornado system about to approach the plains in the south and the u. S. It all came true. We saw big storms. That storm has gone on to do more damage. Its a mess out there in the states. It really is. Theres going to be cleanup for weeks and even months to come in some areas because of the tornadoes and the epic flooding we have seen. Finally the really heavy rain is pushing off the coast line, thank goodness, because the last couple of days have been incredible. The fourth highest rainfall amounts we have ever seen in new york city, in laguardia. Newark. Jfk seeing some of the highest rainfall amounts that they have ever seen. Incredible. That stretch down into the middle atlantic as well. Check out these months. More than a month of rain in less than two days here in washington, d. C. , where in nearby baltimore we ended up seeing this landslide, this hillside gave way. You saw the video just a little bit earlier. It actually slid down towards this train tunnel here taking some of the cars into the tunnel, taking down the trees like they were toys on a life game and then also lamp posts and cars upside down. What a mess. And, you know, this follows an incredibly cold winter in the u. S. Here in Lake Superior there was still 60 ice cover and that ice being some 22 centimeters thick. I wanted to show you some pictures of the ice waves that came on shore on Lake Superior. You can see just how this ice is being piled up by the lake itself. These are homes along the lake shore. One of the residents is calling it almost a tsunami of ice pushing towards their home. Just incredible as this cold, cold winter, they saw more ice than they ever have on that lake. The flooding across the deep south that we are still going to be cleaning up with for a long, long time. Look at this arrow. Its incredible. Pensacola picking up 395 millimeters in just 24 hours time. Thats almost four times what they get in a normal month. This is a wet place normally. Not good for a state that sits relatively at sea level either. No kidding. Thanks very much. You bet. The fallout from the deadly 2012 attack in benghazi, libya, is seizing the spotlight once again at congressional hearings in washington. The attack on a diplomatic compound you may remember killed a u. S. Ambassador and three other americans. They accuse the government of a coverup. Dana bash has more. Reporter new ammunition for republicans and what they call a white house coverup surrounding the 2012 deadly attack in be benghazi, libya. It is disturbing and almost criminal that these documents were held by the Obama Administration from congress and the public. Reporter newly released documents, an email from ben rhodes giving what the gop calls political advice to then u. N. Ambassador susesan rice ahead o her press conferences. The email urged rice to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. This is the closest thing to a smoking gun that ive seen. Republicans call this proof that the white house quashed the real reason for the attack, terrorism, because that would have contradicted the presss tough on terrorism image. This was trying to shake the story away from what would have been a damaging admission of failure of Foreign Policy seven weeks before an election. Reporter republicans also want to know why the email was left out of documents from last years subpoena. Its public now only through a freedom of information request from a conservative group. House Speaker John Boehner is demanding secretary of state john kerry about why this administration hid these documents and tell the American People what else is being concealed. The white house says this rhodes email wasnt about bens but broader regional issues and that spirited White House Briefing they dismissed it as political. This is hours after the attack beginning with a statement by the republican nominee for president as an attempt by republicans to polite size a tragedy. Reporter also on capitol hill, testimony from a retired general who served in the region during the benghazi attack, calling it a mistake not to scramble military help. The point is we should have tried. As another saying goes, always move to the sound of the guns. He was emotional on his commanders decision not to go in. Four individuals died. They did not respond in time to get there. Could we have . The gentlemans time has expired. Go ahead. We may have been able to, but well never know. Reporter there was some forceful push back on that from an unusual source, a republican and an influential one. The gop House Armed Services chairman. Theyve done dozens of interviews and theres no evidence that they delayed deploying help for u. S. Citizens under fire at benghazi. He criticized the general saying he did not serve in a capacity that gave him reliable insight into operational options. Dana bash, cnn, washington. Distressing news for families of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 passengers. Their main meeting facility in beijing is shutting down. Well take you live to the Chinese Capital next for reaction. Plus, the untold story of the murder that now has one of Northern Irelands leading politicians under arrest. Probably about five times. I trit it was different than the other times i tried to quit. [ male announcer ] along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Its a nonnicotine pill. Chantix reduced my urge to smoke. That helped me quit smoking. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking, or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix, and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of mentalhealth problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away, as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or bloodvessel problems or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping, and unusual dreams. My quit date was my sons birthday, and that was my gift for him and me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Youre watching cnn newsroom. We want to welcome our viewers in the u. S. And around the world. Im errol barnett. Here are the headlines. Ukraine says an antiterrorist operation in the eastern city of slavyansk has cleared three check points. They say a ukrainian helicopter has been shot down and the pilot killed. Russian state media report one separatist killed in the operation so far. At least nine people are dead in a bus station bombing in nigeria. This happened as workers returned home from the may day activities. It was near the bombing last month. The head of the flight 370 search effort says it could take 8 to 12 months to find the plane. Angus houston spoke at a News Conference in kuala lumpur not too long ago. This comes a day after malaysia released its preliminary report on the planes disappearance. The plareport indicates they wad four hours after discovering it was missing before calling a search. Theyre discussing the next part of the search with their counterparts from china and malaysia. Passengers will no longer be briefed at the Central Location. To say theyre not happy is an extreme understatement. David has our report. I would imagine the relatives were not happy. How did they react when they were told the updates would no longer happen . Reporter errol, they reacted very emotionally. There were scenes of great anguish. So many weeks after this plane vanished when they were told that they were going into a new search phase and they were stopping briefings and they have to leave the hotel. Its unclear that theyre upset the briefings would end or they were upset that they sense theres no resolution in their plight. The people who are shouting and screaming and sometimes wailing uncontrollably, such terrible scenes. They are saying, where are my loved ones. Please help find them. Find them now. Yes, there are many family members who wanted to stay in their hotel and get some strength in numbers. Others ive spoken to over recent weeks have said they wanted to leave, that theres no real reason for them to stay. They want to get on with their lives. Certainly a complex situation for the families and a very difficult one as the time stretches on. The latest were hearing is that Chinese Government officials want them out today, out of their hotel. As one man put it, they dont really have a choice. These are individual people with individual opinions and many of them just want to get home. Errol . David, any indication of what these relatives will now do . Well, some of them will go to their home. Of course an international flooit coming from kuala lumpur with more than 150 passengers from china, those chinese citizens were from all over the country, not just here in beijing. The family members will as it appears to be go back to their home in provinces far from the capital here in china. They will have a variety of ways of keeping in contact. They will set up a command center as it were to take phone calls, messages and emails from the family members to answer their questions. The family members have made a committee to be the leaders of them and significantly, they say, that the Chinese Government has offered legal representation free of charge to the family members in their discussions or any action against Malaysian Airlines or with Malaysian Airlines towards the government. There will be continued communications. This isnt of course the last weve heard from families that have taken such a public role in this terrible saga but for now it seems in the coming hours and perhaps days they will be leaving their hotels that have been their home for nearly two months. Errol . So challenging for all of them almost two months from their losses. David mckenzie, thank you. Were getting information just in to cnn. I want to bring that to you now. This is coming to us from south korea and these are not positive developments. Reuters news agency is reporting a crash on soules subway. It says two trains collided, one car derailed.

Now police in Northern Ireland have until tonight to bring charges against jerry adams or they must release him. The sinn fein leader turned himself in for questioning on wednesday in the 1972 murder investigation. They accused her of being a spy for the british army. Adam denies any involvement. They say this, the dark side of Northern Ireland, policing has flexed its muscles in the past couple of days. He called the arrest a deliberate attempt to influence the elections that are due to take place in three weeks time. In a recent edition Nic Robertson looked back. He talked at length with jeans daughter about her mothers death. Heres an excerpt. For helen mckendry, the tapes in boston may hold the truth about her mother. The key she needs to unlock her few tear. Her mother was jean mcconville, who was born a protestant, married arthur a catholic, a mixed marriage. Her killing one of the most notorious of the troubles. The troubles, we were put out of our home. We lived in east bell fast, which is mostly protestant. My parents had a mixed marriage so we had to leave. They threatened to kill my father. Reporter helen had nine brothers and sisters. They found refuge in a catholic neighborhood. Not long after their father died leaving jean to bring them up alo alone. A cup of tea and toast. Going to bed every night, mom was doing whatever a mother does. She was a happy go lucky person. She would have done whatever to help anyone. Reporter outside their home all hell was breaking loose. Protestant against catholic. Houses burned, communities divided. Every day our hearts shaking on someone being injured and bombs were killing around us. Reporter Northern Ireland is part of brittain. Protestant fighters known as loyalist s were fighting to kee the status quo. They were fighting to kick out the british and reunify all island with the irish republican army, the ira, the forefront. You just got used to it waking up. Reporter but that changed the day the ira took her mother away. They came by tea time and they dragged her out of the bathroom and dragged her out. Reporter it was december 1972. The last time helen would see her and the beginning of her quest for the truth. That was an excerpt from Nic Robertsons documentary, secrets of the bell fast project from worlds untold stories. Coming up from cnn newsroom, more of the exclusive interview from amanda knox. Well hear about the plans in the future if she loses her appeal with the Italian Court. Plus, new details about that botched execution in oklahoma including an altercation that happened hours before it began. Dont go anywhere. Welcome back. We want to bring you an update on the breaking news that we brought to you moments ago. The number of injured in that soule subway collision has climbed significantly. You may remember it was at 40 when we last reported this. Its now at 170. It says two trains collided there in the subway system of soule, south korea. One of those trains derailed. Youre seeing the first pictures that were getting in from this breaking development and we are working to get more information on this as we check our watches. Its approaching 5 00 p. M. In soule. This would have timed with rush hour as people are trying to get home. Many people are using the system and on the trains. At this moment, train collision in soule, south korea. Also, 55 u. S. Colleges and universities are under investigation for how they handle sexual violence, harassment and assault complaints. Thattest according to the u. S. Department of education. This is the first time the department has released such a list. It says it wants to increase transparency and Public Awareness of civil rights. The probe is looking at whether the schools violated a federal antidiscrimination law in their handling of the complaints. The pentagon says reports of Sexual Assault in the military rose 50 in 2013 from the previous year. Why such a jump . Well, defense secretary chuck hagel says this increase follows efforts by the Armed Services to encourage victims to come forward. He says the best way to combat such attacks is to prevent them. We believe victims are growing more confident in tharp system. Because these crimes are underreported, we took steps to increase reporting and thats what were still seeing. However, we also believe these crimes are still under reported. So we must keep up the pressure and intensify our efforts to improve victims confidence as we work towards the Sexual Assault in the military. Theres no question that the spike in reports has related to an increase in incidents. Amanda knox says theres no evidence to tie her to the murder. She and her boyfriend were convicted in 2009. That conviction was tossed out, but the two were convicted once again this past january. They have one final appeal left in this case. Knocks spoke about that in an exclusive interview. Reporter amanda it was almost a year ago that we did our last interview. At that time your book had just come out and you were facing the prospect of this trial, the ruling of which we just received. I want to remind you of what you said then about the prospect of having to return and face this fight again. Im afraid to go back there. I dont want to go back into prison. I mean, i was there for four years. I just i have no choice but to confront this and i dont know. I im afraid. Im so afraid. Then you had the anticipation of what will this ruling be. What was worse, the anticipation of it or now knowing where it stands with the judges . Oh, i think its knowing now where it stands with the judges because i i had truly believed that this court was going to find me innocent. No new evidence had been present presented. I did not expect this. I im incredibly hurt and disappointed to read what they what theyre what theyre saying is true but is so clearly not, and i guess my only hope is that people are going to see all of the flaws that are throughout the entire document that justifies this verdict. This whole theory that i might somehow be involved in some way with mer dids murder is wrong. You whether appeal . Yes. You will stay here in the United States for the pendency of the appeal . Yes. What happens if the Supreme Court confirms this ruling and the case is closed and you are guilty . You know, from this whole experience, especially in prison where you have to take everything day by day, right now im having to take everything step by step, and if i think about everything that i could possibly be facing, its way too overwhelming for me to even conceive. This started in 2007. It is now 2014. For you and your life, is it present day . Are you able to be present in this day or are you still trapped in 2007 . Its definitely a limbo. My entire adult life has been weighed down and taken over by this tremendous mess, this i mean, on the one hand i have my life in seattle. I get to go to school. I get to be with my family, my friends. And im so dpratful to have them. They really help me to get through this, and to know there are people who believe me. And then on the other hand theres this huge weight and theres this huge struggle and trying to learn each step of the way what is so wrong and how i can fix it, and i guess im just i guess im just one of the lucky ones. How so . Well, because im actually im actually supported by people and people have looked into my case as opposed to have forgotten me. If the case is affirmed by the Supreme Court, if you are found guilty in final fashion but the United States decides not to extra diet, your life goes on, you can live here, be in the United States. Will you ever be free . No. Absolutely not. Thats not a livable thats not especially since right now me and rafael together are fighting for our innocence, and i like i said, i truly believe that can happen. Its only speculation that convicts us. Its evidence that acquits us. And im holding im holding firm to that in hopes that what youre suggesting might happen doesnt. Youre holding out hope. Yeah. Now a third suspect in the case, rudy goodea was convicted and is serving a term in prison. All three had a part but knox is the one that stabbed care chen to death. The botched execution in oklahoma. Clayton lockett was on death row for shooting a woman and watching as two others buried her alive.

We look forward to a further review and a rewrite for the protocols in the state of oklahoma for carrying out executions. Reporter the boc director refused to answer any questions about the execution. Ill be glad to answer questions about anything else other than executions. That was jesse wells reporting there.
