The automakers recall. What it means for the safety of the future. Theres nothing more than videotaped crime scenes watched by predators lurking in the corner in the internet. A child porn arrest including a ran by, and dozens of parents. Hello, everyone. Good to have you with us. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Im john vause. Welcome to our viewers around the United States and the world. At least 31 people are dead and others wounded after an explosion in chinas northwest. President xi jinping is vowing to get the people who did this. We get the latest now from David Mckenzie reporting in from beijing. The attack happened in the Early Morning hours in western chin na. It appears according to state media that two crosscountry vehicles were traveling from north to south plowed into people near an open market and then explosives were thrown out of that vehicle. Photographs from the scene taken by people who say they were witnesses show definite car naming and people lying on the street being tended to. This area is an area where there have been a number of incidents in the past including in early may with an attack on a train station. It is unclear exactly who carried out this attack at this point, but given the nature of it, its a very potential serious escalation of the troubles that have beset that province often blamed by chinese authorities looking to have an autonomous state. Those who represent the weaker minority in the diaspora say this can often be because of local disagreements. Unclear exactly what this incident was and who exactly was behind it. It happened near the square in downtown ronchi which is a very sensitive area with many government buildings. David mckenzie, cnn, beijing. Demonstrators in nigeria plan to march on the president ial office today as they try to keep attention focused on those missing Nigerian School girls. Theyre playing in a number of other countries as well from kazakhstan, south africa, greece and argentina. In the meantime, the u. S. Is sending 80 military people to chad to search for the girls. They say the personnel are not combat troops. Theyre there to help with surveillance and reconnaissance for aircraft missions. People have said its a needle in a haystack. Its a needle in a jungle. Were talking about an area roughly the size of West Virginia and its dense forest jungle. We do still believe that these girls have been split up into small groups. For all we know, i dont know this for a fact, but they could be broken up into smaller groups yet still and be moved around so its very difficult in terms of the geography, the actual size, just square miles of what were trying to search and then of course you have this very dense jungle cover. So its going to be hard. And the u. S. Congress is trying to figure out what more the United States can do to help find the kidnapped girls. They heard some dramatic testimony wednesday from a 15yearold girl whose father and brother were both killed by boko haram. Nina jones has our report. Reporter members of the House Foreign Affairs committee had a lot of questions from two officials in the pentagon. They wanted to know what more can the u. S. Do to help the Nigerian Government do to find and arrest these girls. Before the committee they heard from Deborah Peters who is a survivor from the same town in chibuk. She came under attack in december of 2011 when she was 12 years old. They were targeted because they were christians, her father who was a pastor and her brother were killed by three members of boko haram. She spoke to reporters after that private meeting. Heres part of what she told us about what happened on that scary night. They shoot my brother twice and when they shoot my brother, thats when my dad died and my brother fall and he was moving, they shoot in his mouth. Then he died immediately. So after that i was in shock so i dont know what happens happening. They put me in the middle of my dad and my brother so they run away. The next day nobody help me throughout the night. I was in shock. So the next day the soldiers came and took them to hospital. Deborah peter is now safe. Shes living in virginia, but she knew at least one of the girls who was kidnapped in april. And by now youre familiar with that hashtag weve been seeing on twitter and other social media, bring back our girls. At the end of the meeting she brought back a sign bring back my sisters. Athena jones, cnn, washington. The white house says it has seen russian troop activity along the border but its too early to call it a withdrawal. Russia says it is pulling back a promise Vladimir Putin has made at least three times before. He says he wants to provide extra favorable conditions for the election on sunday. They say they have 30,000 troops on the border raising fears of a wider influence. They said it was hacked two months ago exposing customer data, addresses, phone numbers and birth dates but the Online Auction account wont say how many people were targeted. Its asking all of its 140 million users to reset their passwords. One computer privacy expert says thats not enough. Changing your password is helpful a couple of times i think, but after a while you sort of run out of variations on your pets names so i think after that the burden really shifts back to the companies and to congress to make sure that all of the appropriate protections are in place. I think that ebay should reexamine the kinds of privacy protective technology that theyre using so they should look at their encryption standards and they should make sure theyre using the strongest protection available. In the meantime ebay subsidiary paypal has been able to allay some fears. They say they were untouched by the breech. Police in california have located a woman who has been missing for a decade. Investigators say this man, her mothers livein boyfriend, drugged and kidnapped the victim when she was 15. They say that he later forced her into marriage and in 2012 the two had a child. Police found the victim at this apartment after she reached out to her sister on facebook. The suspect told her that her parents had stopped looking for her and if she tried to go home, her family would be deported. Garcia is now under arrest. 71 people are under arrest in a major new york area child pornography bust. One Law Enforcement official calls the backgrounds of many of the suspects shocking. Attorney ayello of wcbs tv in new york has the details. These crimes are hideous and reasonable people cannot fathom such depravity. Reporter the computers were seized. Illegal images of children shared on peertopeer sites. These are real children who have been abused, victimized for entertainment for an unfortunately large and twisted population. Also a among the accused, a boy scout leader, a woman manufacturing porn with a child under 13. An nypd sergeant is arrested on child porn charges. It is shocking so many people in positions are trust were arrested. This operation puts the lie to the classic stereotypical profile that child predators are no more than predators. Some will be convicted in state court. The conduct of the crime is not elevated one possesses one image or 1,000. Thats simply a law that makes absolutely no sense. The suspects could face up to 25 years in prison. About 1 3 remain in custody. The others were released on bond reaching from 35,000 to 100,000. Still to come on cnn newsroom, americas largest auto maar have recalled 100,000 vehicles. Well tell you whats next for gm. Well tell you what has russia and china raising hundreds of billions of dollars. It has been a record setting year for u. S. Automaker General Motors. Not in a good way. More than 2,000 recalls just since january. Poppy harlow looks at just how bad its going to get. Reporter 11 recall announcements in the past week as General Motors wraps up 13. 8 million u. S. Recalls this year alone. So this has been a banner year for g. M. In a bad way. Theyve had 29 separate recalls this year so far which has been big. Reporter gm has recalled more cars this year than it has sold since exiting bankruptcy in 2009 leaving just about everyone wondering whats going on with gm. Weve moved from a cost culture to the customer culture. Reporter the surge in recalls is because its holding itself to higher safety standards. They follow newly minted marry barras congressional testimony about why it took more than a decade to fix an ignition switch which has been tied to 13 deaths. Employees from engineers, investigators all the way up to executives were briefed on information associated with this recall. That violation cost gm the maximum 35 million fine and will likely cost the company more in victim compensation. My sincere apologies to everyone who has been affected by this recall, especially the families and friends who lost their lives or were injured. Reporter but barra is not new to General Motors. Shes been with the company for 33 years. Formerly Vice President of Global Product Development leaving lingering questions about what she knew when about product flaws in gm vehicles. I was not aware that there was this issue until the recall was introduced on january 31st. Had gm acted differently, perhaps some of this tragedy might not might have been averted. Reporter gm says thats exactly what its doing now, hence, the mountain of recalls. The last thing they want is to be accused of delaying another one. Theyre cleaning out their closets, going through and finding every issue that theyve had in the past that maybe should have been a recall and making it a recall. Reporter so far fixing all those recalled cars will cost gm 1. 7 billion this year and the stock is down 18 year to date, but what might be surprising is that all the recalls havent made a dent in gm sales which were 7 higher in april than a year ago. What gm is doing, talking, saying were going to be a good corporate citizen, but theyve said the same thing in the past. The proof is really in the pudding. Reporter so are more recalls coming soon . In an email to cnn, gm wrote, quote, we are aggressively addressing issues as they come up. Accused of haggling, china and russia have reached a huge energy deal. Beginning in 2018, russia will supply natural gas to china. Neither one will say how much beijing has paid but the agreement is expected to be worth about 400 billion. John breaks it all down. Reporter this deal between russia and china has been in the works for a decade but it was the final two days which proved to be the most difficult. The two parties needed to close a pricing gap. Russia wanted to charge the pricing it had within the European Union to china and china was looking to match what it got from central asia. Vladimir putin and xi jinping closed the gap to sign a better than 400 billion action. Theyll have two pipe lines coming from china to russia. They want to have this up and running by 2018. This was very important for Vladimir Putin on many, many levels. First and foremost, it kind of ends the isolation at least right now from the Business Community because of the sanctions and it proves that it can turn eastward growth. His priorities are china, south korea, japan, and eventually india, and thirdly we see the dramatic slowdown in russia. Economic growth is over 1 and projections of a recession in 2013. This is a sign he can go into the rest of the year pushing growth to try to revive the scenario particularly ahead of the st. Petersburg Economic Forum that starts on thursday. Cnn, st. Petersberg. About 110 protesters were arrested on wednesday during a sit in outside mcdonalds corporate campus in suburban chicago. This latest move by workers and activists demanding higher wages. Mcdonalds says it respects the right to protest but its focusing on a Shareholders Meeting set for later today. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Live from cnn center.

At least five tornadoes touched down close to the airport but there have been no reports of any major damage or injuries. That same storm system also brought hail the size of golf balls, many even bigger than that. Planes had been taken out of service because they have been damaged by the hail. Were joined from the international center. The airport shut down briefly. The tornado shut down one mile from the airport. Some people at the gates are being told, take cover. Unusual to see that setup, of course. A very populated area in the city of denver. We had multiple tornado warnings. The storm system is falling apart. Reports of an official tornado touching down around aurora, colorado. We have hail 4 1 2 centimeters in diameter. We know in the United States in 2012, hail related insurance claims usually upwards of 3 to 4 billion a year. You take a look at this. This is happening on wednesday afternoon. You see how it adds up as far as expensive setup. It was on this date in 1996 a hail storm went through the city of denver and it caused upwards of 180 million in damages in todays value so interesting setup. Colorado is the United States hail alias its known in this region as they have the most disruptive and most frequent large hail stones in the country. This is the setup right here right now with the storm system. It is beginning to move off to the east around hastings, nebraska. A few hail storms. None are severe. The setup is we saw 11 reports of tornadoes, 6 of them across the metro area. Nearly 90 reports of windrelated damages. Some of the scenes out of colorado where we had some four inches on the ground accumulating. The officials having to call some snow plows to remove the hail. 40 flights were diverted from dia as the storms began coming through this region. The setup for the next 24 hours, we do have strong storms. Severe Weather Threat in place for some 37 million people.

He was enjoying this. Its nushl ul across brazil. He should probably move. Probably. Not a good idea. After some of the video we saw, exactly. Wow. Brave soul there. Absolutely. Thanks, p. J. You bet. Now to a scandal thats outraged several americans. Cooking the books. Dozens of people have died while waiting for medical care. President obama is now speaking out about the problems. Reporter for president obama its another buck stops here moment, this time over allegations of hiding veteran wait times at va facilities. If these allegations prove to be true, it is dishonorable, it is disgraceful and i will not tolerate it, period. Reporter after meeting with Veterans Affairs official eric shinseki, he said his days may be numbered. I have said to rick and i said it to him today, i want to see, you know, what the results of these reports are, and there is going to be accountability. Reporter veterans groups were quick to slam the president s comments. They said his decision to keep shinseki at his post is a problem. There is no urgency. Reporter the white house faces a political crisis thats building with 26 va facilities under investigation. I dont yet know are there a lot of other facilities that have been cooking the books or is this just an episodic problem . Reporter this is not the first time the president has been caught off guard by his administrations failures. He tauted healthcare. Gov before the launch. Nobody is as mad as me about the fact that the website isnt working. Theres a pattern. I first learned about it from the same news reports i think most people learned about this. I think it was on friday. Reporter and the president s Crisis Management is also familiar standing by shinseki as he did with hhs secretary kathleen sebelius. Is he too detached from some of the nuts and bolts of running the government and the administration . I think if you look at how the president handles a challenge like the website and handles this challenge, he responds by needing action. 9 only action is ordering secretary shinseki to complete his internal investigation by next week and that they complete a broader review by next month. Any further action would come after that. Jim accost a, cnn, the white house. Thailands rival political groups are meeting again there bangkok, day through.

Last year fighters from the terrorist group appeared again. The sound of the gunfire came from that direction, people saying that they heard explosions as well. The vast majority of residents here fled and have yet to come back. Their lives today are being utterly and completely ruled by fear. We didnt know what was happening. We were eating and heard the explosions and running. Reporter so you just ran away with nothing . Yes, she says, and they did not want to come back. But she and the few that remain here have no choice. We dont have any place to stay. We dont have anyone in the city. And their fears are justified. Just this week five villages in borno state have been attacked by boko haram. The group growing more brazen after it kidnapped more than 200 school girls in chibok a year ago. The villages remain empty. The few left behind sit and wait hoping boko haram doesnt return. We now know the exact materials the bombers used to build the explosives. Deborah faye yek has all the details. Reporter what weve learned is that the device was used constructed using Christmas Lights to build a fuse. It was detonated by Remote Control parts used for a car. That was information we had when all of this was going on a year ago with this man hunt for these two men, but its interesting they were built that way. This took some knowledge. This took some skill. This wasnt just doing this, building this in your mothers kitchen. They detonated the devices by Remote Control. We know tamerlan went to dagistan.

Reporter in syria amid the fighting al qaeda is is planting its flag leading to a direct warning of the rise of al qaeda affiliates. Its progeny throughout the middle east and africa are virulent and bent on doing great harm to americans abroad and at home. Reporter james coney says one of the most virulent threats is at home. Theyre asking them to come to syria and learn new things, build new relationships and most dangerously, a flow out of syria. There will be a terrorist diaspora out of syria. We are determined not to allow lines to be drawn between an outflow from syria and future 9 11s. Reporter the u. S. Estimates 70 or more americans have gone to syria to fight. Nobody knows how many are back in the u. Smpu. S. Comey joins wa of a threat of an al qaeda attack in the u. S. By fighters from syria.

Do we have a plan to deal with that as a nation . Yes. Is that classified . Yes. Okay. Id like for you to brief me about that because i think one of the likely next attacks is going to come from somebody whos trained in syria.

Al qaeda directly traced to 9 11 and the director vow sz there will not be another 9 11. Barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. An Egyptian Court has sentenced Hosni Mubarak to three years in prison.

The men and women are accused of breaking irans obscenity laws by dancing together to the Pharrell Williams video happy. This may not be over. The director and producer of the video remains behind bars and im very concerned that they are going to bring heavy charges against him and try to issue a lengthy sentence. Is that why hes being held . Theyre going to make him a scapegoat . Yes. It was clear that they were forced to basically put the onus on the producer director and try to say that everything was his fault and it is very normal in politically motivated cases to hold detainees without charge for many, many weeks or months to interrogate and build up a fabricated case. There has been a lot of reaction to this story, including a tweet from the iranian president s twitter account. He says, happiness is our peoples right. We shouldnt be too hard on behaviors caused by joy. Its an apparent quote from a statement which he made last year. Coming up next on cnn newsroom you think this is the bullet that killed your son .

Its about the killing of two palestinian teens. As ivan watson shows us it comes out to two different accounts. The israeli says the military was firing rubber coating bullets. It was designed to hurt but not penetrate. The video shows two teens hit with what the israelis call live fire, real bullets, and doctors say passed through their bodies and killed them. Heres ivans report. Reporter it had been a day of skirmishing. Palestinian youth throwing stones. Police firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Then caught on camera, the shooting death of two palestinian teenagers. Both gunned down on the same patch of asphalt. The second hours after the first. The Israeli Defense force tells cnn that a preliminary inquiry shows that no live fire was shot at all on thursday and we have to determine what caused this result. Cnn producer was there much of that day filming the back and forth clashes. Among those seen on cnns video is the 17yearold throwing a rock. He had gone to the protest after attending school in the morning. At 1 45 p. M. A camera captures the moment when he was fatally shot as he walks towards the israeli positions. Another camera shows him rushed into an ambulance. A medical report says the bullet entered his chest and exited his back. At the precise moment when he was shot, cnns camera was rolling filming an israeli soldier shoot being his rifle at the palestinians. And then demonstrators carrying the mortally wounded teenager to the ambulance. He later died in hospital. The shootings were filmed by this private Security Camera mounted to this building here which the owner tells us operates 24 hours a day for the protection of his home, his family and his business. As for the boys, the first one was shot and mortally wounded here. At 2 58 p. M. The camera captured the second shooting as he was shot when he walked away from israeli positions. Doctors pro mounsed him dead on arrival at the hospital with a single bullet wound that entered his back and passed out through his chest. We met the grieving father at st. Georges school in ramallah where relatives and classmates are in mourning. He shows me the backpack. Inside the backpack, a blood stained textbook and a bullet, not a rubber coated projectile. You think this is the bullet that killed your son . Yeah, of course. Of course. Besides the fact i found it inside the bag. Reporter and who do you think killed your son . Soldier. Israeli soldier . Yeah, israeli soldier. Reporter they insist only rubber bullets were fired that day. They express great alarm at the shooting of the two teenagers whom he says were unarmed and appeared to pose no direct threat. Ivan watson, cnn, betunia, in the west bank. Well shift gears with two notable americans facing hate. The fbi director, find out what he said about marijuana use that drew the ire of one senator. And pat sajaks spin on Climate Change has the community a little upset. The fbi director had some explaining to do wednesday on capitol hill. James clooney told a committee he was not advocating marijuana use. He said some people wanted to smoke weed on the way to the interview. I was very disappointed on the wall street journal article may 20th in which you seem to make light of marijuana use by those who would like to work for the fbi. You say, i have to hire a great work force to compete with the cyber criminals and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview. You say youve got to loosen up your no tolerance policy, which is havent used marijuana in three years. That will be interpreted as one more example of leadership in america dismissing the seriousness of marijuana use. I am determined not to use my sense of humor. Unfortunately there i was trying to be serious and funny. We have a three year ban. I did not say im going to change my ban, i said i have to grapple with the change in my work force. Okay. The host of the popular u. S. Game show wheel of fortune is also on the defensive after a controversial tweet about Climate Change. Its not the first time pat sajak has spelled out his opinions on twitter. We get the details from Nischelle Turner. Reporter 140 characters, an infinite amount of controversy. 140 very dangerous characters. Reporter pat sajak, the latest celebrity to join twitter thoughts gone awry. He tweeted i now believe Global Warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends. Good night. Not quite. He started the next day following with sometimes its fun to poke a stick in a who are nets nest just to hear the buzzing. Can i buy an i, pat, i for insane . You dont know if hes doing it because he actually believes it or for fun . Reporter climate scientist michael tweeted back, hey, patzajac, it aint the wheel of fortune. If we lose this game, all of society pays the price. May 10th, very hot weather. Were all going to die. Very cold weather, theres a difference between climate and weather moron. Just four days later, help, climate changing. Must send money to lots of places, a lot of money. Hurry. Time is short. Not kidding. But when asked about the unpatriotic racist remark zajac said it was in gest saying of course i was joking, mocking the namecalling that is directed at Global Warming skeptics within and without the country. While his wording is what caused the controversy, sajaks skepticism is wondered by others. I understand theres a vast consensus of scientists are saying that human activity is contributing to the changes in our climate. I think its a huge stretch to say that the majority are attributable to human activity. Reporter like sajac, they pounced. Its still a puzzle worth solving, just not 140 characters or less. That was Nischelle Turner reporting there. Lets go to pedram for the latest on the weather and theres been some stormy days recently in hong kong. Getting a lot of rain over there. Yeah, pretty historic in spots across hong kong. This image i want to share with you, kind of a freeze frame of some of the thunderstorms that have rolled through in recent days from a tower cams perspective. There are howling winds across hong kong. It has been tremendously hit hard. That is 4 inches of rainfall just since tuesday quadrupling that amount. 400 millimeters is a little over 15 inches of rainfall coming down again. More than double the monthly average. Doesnt look to improve in recent days, at least across this region. 649 millimeters. Thats what you would expect to see an entire year across london. Thats what theyve seen in the first few days of may and the pattern, three feet or over one meter of rainfall has come down across the city. The model is painting the picture putting four inches across hong kong while the city, 15 millimeters, roughly half an inch. Take you out towards the bay because tropical activity is trying to form. We have a high probability trying to form. The storm is meandering. A little concern as you take a closer perspective at this. In western myanmar, its home to some 150,000 externally displaced people in refugee camps. The storm system doesnt look like its going to strengthen. It will pour tremendous rainfall in this region. Not something you want to see across the region. Take you out over western europe where we are also seeing pretty active weather moving in here. Severe weather quite a large possibility for the next several hours. Large hail and heavy rainfall in the forecast. This region sees 25 to 35 tornadoes a year. The threat is there from locndo to paris, even frankfurt. The temperature should be very warm. Upper 20s, in the low 80s fahrenheit. Should be close to upper 60 fahrenheit in berlin. A heat wave by definition, john, is five degrees celsius for five straight days. A lot of these places are feeling that a month removed. Four weeks away . Yes. Going to be a hot one. Thanks, p. J. The mayor of Pleasant Hill california has received quite the Resignation Letter from his city clerk. Her swan song was replete with some scathing parting advice for her now former boss. Andrea from kpix has the details. Reporter her name is still on the directory in the lobby, but tonight kim lehmkuhs seat was filled by someone else. After months of city hall back fighting she wrote this resignation. Resigning, the first paragraph is standard. The second is a rage filled run on. This has been an atrocious, incredibly depressing and mind numbingly inane experience. I wish the city luck. Encouraging her to resign for the past four months. She made it clear she would never resign. So actually i was pleasantly surprised despite the tone of the email to receive it. Reporter it doesnt end there. The takedown continues with some phrases wed rather not say in a family newscast. How would you eval pew wait your performance thus far . Im going to take total ownership for the fact that this work product has not been completed in a timely fashion. Reporter as for a Resignation Letter only Johnny Paycheck can be proud of. If he were her new d. C. Employer . Id fire her on the spot. Weve reached out to her on email. His former boss said it demonstrated her ability to craft a full sentence in colorful language.
