South carolina officer Michael Slager behind bars this morning, charged with murder. The threeminute video capturing the shooting death of walter scott over the weekend. When youre wrong, youre wrong. Taped by a bystander, it reveals the 33yearold officer shooting scott in the back. While he ran away. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting police said officer slager stopped scott for a broken taillight in North Charleston. Through an attorney officer slager described a scuffle, claiming the 50yearold fought for his taser, and he felt threatened. In this video you see what could be a taser fall as scott takes off, running away as slager fires eight times. Shots fired. Subject is down. Hes got my taser. While hes lying facedown, the officer handcuffs scott. Next slager jogs back to where he fired his gun and picks up something. Perhaps the taser, but from this video its not entirely clear. Back by scotts body, he drops the small black object. Then moments later, he picks it back up. The coast guard veteran and father of four dies on scene. Scotts family attorney contends without the video there would be no murder charge. The officer said that mr. Scott attacked him and fought his taser and tried to use it on him. But somebody was watching. When asked if race played a role North Charlestons police chief said he isnt ruling it out. I think all the Police Officers on this force, member and women are like my children. So you tell me how a father would react to seeing his child do something. Just about everyone agrees if it were not for that video, it might literally be a whole different story. As to the person who took that video, they remain anonymous this morning. And reportedly in hiding. Fearing for their own safety. It was amazing how close whoever took the video was, was to the action and never turned around and ran. Lets dissect the cell phone video piece by piece with our experts to try to understand what lapped. We want to bring in North CharlestonCity Council WomanDorothy Williams and joining us is cnn Law Enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director tom fuentes. Tom, dot, thank you so much for being here. Lets go through the video, we want to break it down piece by piece so you can tell us what you see. Lets start with the moment before and the shooting. Here you see the officer. He fires, he fires eight shots and he walks calmly over to mr. Scotts body. Again, you see mr. Scott running away. You see the officer firing eight shots. Mr. Scott falls down. And the officer walks towards him. Tom, i want to start with you. How do you interpret what you see here . Well what i interpret, alisyn is that the officer did not have a reason to fear for his life. And whatever they were if they were lets say trying to grab hold of the taser when they were close to each other, and the taser fell to the ground and we dont know that thats what it was for sure. But it would seem that the officer had little reason to fear for his own safety or for the safety of someone else in the community. If you have an armed person fleeing the scene of a crime, you know you might fear for other people. It seems in this case he probably had no reason to fear that mr. Scott was a danger to anybody else. Dot, what did you think when you first saw that video . I was very upset. I want to know why was he out of the car. If you get stopped for a broken taillight. They come up to the car and ask for your i. D. And everything like that. I dont understand why he was out of the car. Well you make an excellent point. We dont know what happened leading up to the shooting. Thats pivotal. As we know from what happened with Michael Brown. Sometimes its the incident beforehand that sort of sets the tone for what happens next. Let me show you something that happens after the shooting thats also interesting. This is where the officer walks up in a moment youll be able to see it it will be less shaky and he handcuffs mr. Scott, who is now incapacitated on the ground. So tom, instead of offering cpr, or doing anything else he handcuffs the suspect, who has now shot eight times. What do you think of that protocol . Well i dont think its right, either alisyn. You clearly have the person on the ground and whether hes dead yet or dying, hes obviously not resisting any further. Hes not trying to run any more and probably cant. And at that point, you call the paramedics you call for medical assistance to come take care of the person who is on the ground. Dot, how is the community responding to this video . Believe it or not, the community is very calm because it happened that he got arrested and charged so quickly. And they are very content with that. Now we have a few people thats trying to stir it up by having some march this morning, just to get their name out there for no reason but the neighborhood and everyone is so happy that this Police Officer is in jail. Charged with murder. Is not given a bond. And theyre very content. It happened and no one tried to cover up this Police Officer. Speaking of coverup tom, i want to show you what happens next on the video. Because this is peculiar. The officer appears to drop something near Walter Scotts body. So its hard to see, obviously this is shaky cell phone video. Let me play it for you again. The officer walks up to the body weve spotshadowed this for you. Something falls from the officers hands to the ground it appears to be in the shape of a taser gun. What do you see, tom, in this moment . Well thats what it does appear. That hes dropping something, that maybe for the intent of incriminating mr. Scott. And then thinks better of that. And maybe its because he doesnt trust the other Police Officer to back his story up. And so he you know he picks up what he dropped. If thats what it was. In any event, youre not supposed to tamper with the crime scene, if youve got an officerinvolved shooting and the person is on the ground and theyre no longer a threat you call for medical assistance and you dont touch anything you dont, you know you dont do anything else thats going to be in the hands of the paramedics first of all to try to save the persons life. And second of all, the medical Examiners Office if the paramedics determine that the person is dead. Youre not to drop things at the crime scene, pick things up at the crime scene or any of that. In this case the video accelerate everything thats why we have an arrest so quickly. I should add that the forensics would have also justified the charges against the officer later if they pick up the bullet casings and you know theyre 100 feet from where the shooting occurs and every single shot into mr. Scott is in his back you know that that would have been determined by the forensic examination and the autopsies later. But in the interest of quickly deciding and determining what happened the video makes all the difference. Dot one more thing we want to show you here after the officer dropped something near mr. Scotts body, he then we have it spotshadowed again, picks up that same object. This is from a different angle. Picks up the object of course its impossible to know if he reconsidered having dropped something, if he didnt realize he dropped something. You know whats so curious about all this. Is that the officer says that he had sort of wrestled with mr. Scott over the taser gun. And so it appears, though we dont really know but just from the video, that he might have been trying to get that taser gun closer to the body to back up his story. How do you see it . Thats how i see it also. To me he showed no concern. After he hand an cuffed him, he just walked off. All he was thinking about to me was a coverup. Because he never showed any concern about mr. Scott after he was down. To your point i just would like to thank, i would just like to thank that person that stood there and continued videoing this. I dont know why this person feels they need to be in hiding. But i would like to thank that person in person. Give them a big hug. I dont know who it was. But that was just wonderful. The last thing we want to show you is that the officers had said they attempted to do cpr on mr. Scott. But we dont see any evidence of that on the video at least. The officer does go over and check his pulse. But we dont see any sort of Emergency Personnel actually attempting cpr. Dorothy and tom, thanks so much for helping us walk through all of this. Obviously we will be analyzing this throughout the program, because theres so many angles to talk about, thanks for being with us. As we stand in the shadow of another troubling Police Shooting ferguson missouri will hold its first election since its controversial shooting death of Michael Brown last summer. The city ballot is already making history. Tripling the number of blacks on the city council ballot. Lets go to cnns ana cabrera live in ferguson with more. The people here have spoken chris, and the city has taken a big step forward. Even if you just look at election participation, there were no africanamerican candidates than in years past. There were also a lot more voters who participated and cast those ballots yesterday. In fact voter turnout for this election was more than double that of past city elections. Hopeful sign in the community, that change has come. A fresh face for fergusons future. Ella jones is now the first africanamerican woman elected to the Ferguson City council. This is home. And im going to do everything i can to make it a better place for everyone. Jones is one of three new Council Members poised to transform the embattled st. Louis suburb. If you want to see changes done in the community, you got to be involved. Change the common mantra among voters trickling into polling stations tuesday. The good Old Boys Society is not going to work any more. Were going to get it straightened out for sure. The result . New leadership that better reflects the citys demographics a city thats almost 70 africanamerican. Im going to be the hardestworking councilman period. Bar none. Now with wesley bell and jones, the City Councils racial makeup flipped from five white members and one africanamerican to three white and three black members. We want people in leadership thats going to do right by the people. Lack of diversity among city leaders drew criticism following the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown last summer. A department of justice investigation recently revealed systemic Racial Discrimination by the Ferguson Police department and Municipal Court system. Some residents say those root issues sparked the eruption of emotion that led to weeks of violent protests and looting. Leaving painful reminders of the past and businesses that just havent recovered. What are your hopes for this new city council . Well for a change pretty much. I hope this just can bring ferguson back together. One thing is certain, the future of ferguson is still in question as the group of newly elected Council Members say Economic Development their priority. Especially in the canfield green neighborhood where Michael Brown lost his life residents are counting on the group of leaders to make a difference. John . Ana kacabrera in ferguson thank you so much. New details on sophisticated state department cyberattack we told but weeks ago. Sources tell cnn that Russian Hackers behind that attack were able to access sensitive parts of the white house Computer System including nonpublic details of the president s schedule. Cnns evan perez joins us with more. These Russian Hackers in recent months broke into sensitive parts of the white house email system. In realtime they could even see parts of the of president s schedule thats not disclosed to the public. The hackers got in by breaking in the state Department Email servers, once in there they tricked someone into giving them access to the system serving the executive office of the president. Now the white house last october disclosed suspicious activity in its unclassified email system. But Deputy National security adviser ben rhodes told Cnns Wolf Blitzer last night on the situation room, that even a breach of unclassified email is serious. I think we would view any information that is government email, that is even unclassified as sensitive. And again, what weve seen in the past is that there have been efforts to break into that system and at times weve had that system compromised. What we do then is take immediate precautions, to better secure that system and try to stay one step ahead of hackers. And u. S. Investigators believe the hack remembers working for the russian government. According to officials, they pulled off one of the most serious cyberbreaches against the u. S. Government. The breach is one reason alisyn that u. S. Intelligence fivls recently increased warnings about the cyberthreat from russia. Just incredible to see it all play out. Thanks so much for that evan. Well the crisis in yemen growing and now the u. S. Stepping up its efforts. The state Department Says the u. S. Will partner in the air campaign ramping up its military and intelligence support to saudiled forces. Cnns Nic Robertson is live in saudi arabia with the latest. Nic . Good morning, alisyn. This is the really the clearest statement weve had that tells us just how long the saudiled air campaign could continue fighting stepped up in the key port city of aden this morning. Other targets by this Saudiled Coalition striking targets, houthi targets around oil field areas, the houthis are believed to be trying to take control of those key pieces of infrastructure in the country. But u. S. Deputy secretary of state Anthony Blinken significant that hes here in the country and significant what he had to say. Saudi arabia sending a strong message to the houthis and their allies that they cannot overrun yemen by force. In support of that effort we have expedited weapons deliveries increased our intelligencesharing and established a joint coordination planning cell in the saudi operation center. Now this improved intelligencesharing is not to the point of providing a target list. However, when the saudis are put together their own target list the idea is that that could be reviewed using u. S. Intelligence assessments to see if any of those targets are close to civilian targets, the situation yesterday where a school was next to a military base the school got hit as well. Six children killed. Clearly the saudis want to avoid that. The intelligencesharing designed to do that and speed up the effort of driving the houthis back from their advances across the country. Chris . Nic, thank you. Two israeli voulds been stabbed by a palestinian attack nert west bank. One soldier suffered serious injuries. Other soldiers in area killed the attacker. The hope is the incident doesnt spark further hostilities. Firefighters battling a huge fire at a highrise commercial building in los angeles. The blaze broke out on the top floors of a sixstory building in the westlake district. Firefighters rescued two trapped inside. No one was seriously injured. Cause of the fire under investigation. A second day of jury deliberations in the boston bombing trial. Jurors spent seven hours yesterday trying to decide on dzokhar tsarnaevs fate. The jury did send out two questions to the judge. But the contents of those questions were not disclosed. Tsarnaev faces 30 charges, if convicted he could get the Death Penalty or life in prison. A lot of people wondering what could they be deliberating about after this trial where the defense essentially admitted that he did it but counselor, just because theyre talking doesnt mean that theres dissent within the jury room. It doesnt mean that theres dissent. There are 30 counts and they do all emerge from the same fact pattern. But not the same way. So they could be points of clarification question. And also there is the chance although theyre not supposed to do this that part of their discussion is about how bad it was and how it means. You have to remember the obstacle for the jury is going to be the punishment. Not this phase, because hes admitted through counsel that he did it. Still our legal experts predicted it would take three hours of deliberation it would be open and shut. So its already twice that and something is going on in there. I dont think thats a surprise either. In as much as asking people to kill someone is a very difficult thing for regular human beings to do and i think the process is never quick. Thats good. Meanwhile, another case of a Police Shooting an unarmed black man. But this time theres video. And were going to talk a little bit more about whats going on in this boston bomber trial. Because theres so much on the line. What is the universe of possibility about what these questions were from the deliberators and what will it take for them to give the boston bomber the Death Penalty . Well take you through it so you understand it. Im brian vickers, nascar® driver. Im kevin nealon comedian. And im arnold palmer, professional golfer. Know what we have in common . We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. Thats why i took xarelto®, too. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. I took xarelto® for afib. An irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. Hey, well im glad we got together. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. I tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. Tell me about it. Lets see, golf clinic, or blood clinic . Ooh, thats a tough one. Not this time. Not with xarelto®. Anything else . Ill have another arnold palmer. Ok. Make mine a kevin nealon. Really, brian . Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u. S. And that numbers growing. Like your guys scores. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. You may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. Welcome back. Terrible news no other way to put it a white South CarolinaPolice Officer charged with murder after shooting a black man, not once but as many as eight times in the back. All caught on video. And yet, so many questions come up because of this. Lets try to figure out what it means. In this case and what we learn about a situation in general of Police Excessive force, mo ivory on your screen radio host and attorney as well as errol lewis, cnn political commentator and political anchor for new york one news. Good to have you here sorry its for this reason. The shooting do we have the ability to play it back so it can be seen at home so you understand why this video is so important to this case . Here it is. [ gunshots ] all right. Now this is being taken by someone apparently on a bicycle or bystander who is there and had the presence of mind to stop and shoot this on their cell phone. What we dont see, errol, is the incident that led to this. There was a traffic stop. Something happened during the traffic stop and mr. Scott, the victim runs away gets pursued by the officer, the officer tazes him. He says the tazing is ineffective. He says theres an altercation where mr. Scott is trying to get the tazer from him, and then he fears for his life shoots at him and this happens. Now points of distinction, one, errol lewis fighting over the taser, i fear for my life as the officer. Does that make sense . Theres a scenario in which that could have happened clearly, but i think what works so so devastatingly against the officer is that it looks like its clear, its not a rainy night in the dark alley. The guy is clearly running away. Sewn sew that even if there is a fight, the fight at that moment seems to have been over. But not over his weapon a handgun, a tazer which he had discharged. There are some wires that you can sort of see in the background it looks lick there was some kind of a tazer involved. Absolutely. Does the taser work unless you reload it with a new charge once youve used it . Ive never used a taser, chris, so i the answer is no it doesnt once youve discharged it. So could the officer have been in the fear that the man was going to use it on him and hurt him with it . No i know thats the standard line that all officers know to say. Its part of the script. It if theres a shooting or an incident the first thing they do is say i fear for my life. Its part of the protocol of a protection of an officer after theres been a shooting. I want to go back to the beginning where this man was, walter was going down the street. He was, it doesnt seem to be much conversation about the fact that they were in an advanced auto parts lot. Which probably means he was going to get his taillight fixed. Perhaps he was there to replace the bulb. And i wonder in my mind how that escalates to a dead man shot eight times in the back. Im imagining as we all are trying to put this together. Thats the officer pulled him and he told him, get out of the car. Thats how he got out of the car. Then something started to insue that had them moving away from the car. That caused the officer to feel like he needed to taze him. But then what happens after somebody is obviously struck by the taser, that makes you then feel okay now let me start to shut. Obviously walter felt whatever there was, maybe a verbal exchange that made walter feel like he needed to get away from this Police Officer. Thats exactly what it looks like on the video. He begins to run away and in the most casual of manner which is so disturbing this officer shoots him eight times, casually walks over looks at him, doesnt try to help walks back to start putting the case together. That is what happened. Now the reason that we are going back to the beginning here is because the video by itself is overpowering. It takes you to the conclusion that this man was running away and got shot at a lot unnecessarily. But its important not to get lost in the power of that one moment because you do have to do what mo and you are doing right now, which is back us up and go through the process, because what happened after this happened on saturday . Slager is the officer, walter who mo is referring to is walter scott, the 50yearold victim. Slager through his Attorney Says i followed all Proper Police procedures. Thats whats happening on his side. What do the police say, he did cpr on scott. You see no evidence of that. Only later do you see anybody come with a kit to do any sort of medical treatment. Then the police say the suspect ran, the officer used the taser to try to stop the man. It was not effective. Obviously, because whatever did happen the man was still able to move. At that point there was a fight, the suspect tried to get control of the tazer, police say the officer pulled his gun and fired a shot to stop the fight. Errol . Thats the big moment. If we didnt have this video. And none of that is reflected in the video or rather the video contradicts all of that and the fact frankly that officer slagers lawyer quit the case you know the minute the video came out, tells you that he perhaps was given a version of the truth, that he didnt feel that he could support and defend. You want to hope that any ethical attorney isnt putting forward how many times have we seen this exact story come from the officer and then the police after theres a shooting and then theres no video. Theres no need to go in and suspect that the Police Officers are lying or that the department is covering it up or that the story that came out is untrue. Its only because of the video. So how many dead people on the ground have no investigation, have no chance of the officer being charged. Because theres no video to support the lying story that the police put out . Two points of caution on that everybody here understands emotionally the strength of what youre saying. One, you always want the evidence in one case to stand for one case right . You dont want to project it on to others. And two, i would question whether or not the officer was going to walk away. He said he shot one shot because of fear. And he shot at this guy eight times. I dont know how many times he hit him. When the forensics would have come back on this poor mans body. I think he had trouble, anyway. No question mo we got to wrap it up for now, were going to keep talking about it. This video is going to open a window into how these situations are investigated. Investigated. Because if you dont have a video like this these cases are very hard. Errol lewis, thank you for taking us back to the first step mo ivory as well. So we dont get lost in the emotion of the moment. It opens up a big debate again. It is one case one video on one case but it is going to have bigger meaning, you know that as well as i do. We have a discussion what does it mean to you . Tweet us or go to facebook newday and tell us what you think so we can continue the conversation. Nobody doubts dzokhar tsarnaevs guilt in the Boston Marathon bombing trial because his Attorney Says he did it. Why does the jury need a second day to deliberate . What questions do they have for the judge . Well take to you boston, live, next. Body pain . Motrin helps you be an unstoppable, icantotallydothis allinonetrip kind of woman. When pain tries to stop you, theres motrin. Motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts. Make it happen with new motrin liquid gels. Most of the products we all buy are transported on container ships. Before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck. Here in san diego, were building the first one ever to run on natural gas. Ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. Were proud to be a part of that. A second round of jury deliberations in the boston bombing trial gets under way this morning. On tuesday, the panel could not reach a verdict after seven hours, and they sent out two undisclosed questions to the judge. Lets get do cnns alexandra field tracking all of the latest for us from boston. What do we know this morning . Hey there, alisyn the case isnt exactly a who done it. Dzokhars attorneys have admitted to his role in it. But the jury does have the responsibility of looking at each of the 30 counts that hes charged with and determining whether or not the government met its burden of proof. A lot of people thought the process would move swiftly. This is the first time that the jury has been together behind closed doors where theyre able to talk freely about the testimony theyve heard and the first time theyve had access to every piece of evidence thats been entered into the case over the last couple of weeks. We know already the process has raised a couple of questions for the jury. They submitted two notes with questions forror the judge. The questions have not been publicly revealed in the courtroom. We expect the judge will help the jury resolve those questions later this morning. We should point out its not irregular, its pretty routine for the juries to come back with questions wanting clarifications definitions, maybe a little more guidance we should know more when the jury returns here at 9 00 a. M. Well stay on that. We have big news this morning, murder charges for a South Carolina cop after disturbing video surfaces. Depicting what happened. This officer shototing an unarmed man in the back. The man, 50yearold walter scott. It started with a traffic stop saturday morning at 9 30 a. M. The officer is Michael Slager. He said he had to shoot walter scott because walter had taken his stun gun in a scuffle and there was fear for his life. But that was before the officer knew that video existed. The fate of Aaron Hernandez now in the hands of a jury. Which resumes deliberations late they are morning. During closing arguments on tuesday, the defense team admitted that the former new england patriot witnessed the murder of odin lloyd. Now this was a surprise. This was the first time we heard this in the courtroom. The defense has always maintained that hernandez had no part in planning lloyds murder. Washington, d. C. Was in the dark a voltage drop briefly knocked out electricity in parts of washington and maryland. Including the white house and the state department. Officials blame a downed transmission line at a power plant in maryland. The white house, which switched to backup power so quickly were told president obama did not even notice this. They dismissed any terrorist connection to this outage. But it was so bad, even Oprah Winfrey was left in the dark. Yes. When it happens to oprah this has never happened to oprah before she was giving a speech honoring maya angelou when the lights went out. I thought she had the power to create light, no . Chris cuomo right there, chriscuomo. Wow, shes been revealed. Shes big enough to do it. I stick with my statement. Bad weather news coming your way. Tornados could hit central u. S. Today. With Severe Weather in the forecast as well. Lets get to meteorologist ivan cabrera for the latest. I think well have plenty of that late they are afternoon. Clash of the air masses thunderstorms in parts of michigan and just to the north we have snow. So its that clash of air masses thats going to set up the Severe Weather threat later on. Thunderstorms right now in illinois. Temperatures well into the mid and upper 80s ahead of the frontal boundary to the north we have 50s and 60s, we have the temperature difference the moisture difference dry air from the north and upper level energy coming in from the west all of it trance spiring late they are afternoon. Large hail damaging winds and the potential for tornados in some of these super cell thunderstorms could be producing some strong tornadoes. Oklahoma city wichita, kansas city heading up into st. Louis is the area were focusing in on today as we continue heading through later this afternoon and the Severe Weather threat continues tomorrow a multistate multiday tornadic threat. Well keep you posted on it back to you. Pay attention to this one, guys. We have a disturbing breach at the white house, Russian Hackers manage to infiltrate the computers there, how much information did they get . Was any of it classified . Christiane amanpour joins us next. Scott appears busters been busy. Man yeah, scott. I was just about to use the uh. Scott thats a bunch of groundup paper, lad scotts ez seed uses the finest seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere seed your lawn. Seed it Russian Hackers behind a cyberattack on White House Computers according to u. S. Officials. Investigators say only unclassified systems were compromised, but still, hackers were able to uncover private details about president obamas schedule. To talk about this and much more lets turn to cnn chief international correspondent, christiane amanpour, great to have you in studio with us. Good to be here. The hackers got access to president obamas nonpublic schedule. As you can imagine, the white house is playing this down. And it did obviously happen several months ago. But hacking as we know is the big sort of weapon of the 21st century. We have russian hacking, north korean hacking, iranian hacking, chinese hacking. It shows how sensitive these modern technologies is. How much protection you need. This has been going on since time immemorial. In the Clinton Administration there was a Huge Department where russian bugs were placed in the state department 15 to 18 years ago. Its the progression of Foreign Governments, if it turns out to be a Foreign Government or troublemaker hackers who have the ability to be able to play catandmouse with whatever technology exists. It is quite easy to outsmart technology. And people just have to keep trying to build up the defenses better and better. Another big story, yemen. You keep hearing from your sources, so do we focusing on yemen. This will become the devils playground. You dont understand how serious this is. Whats the context . The context is and weve been saying this in our discussions, since this has gone to hell in hand basket really. This was all for many years through president Obamas Administration the center of the counterterrorism strategy in that reason. When they successfully got al qaeda out of afghanistan and then busted them up in pakistan they started moving to yemen and we know that the famous underwear bomber, aqapl qaeda in the arabian peninsula, they have a lot of capability there. John brennan, president obamas counterterrorism adviser and now head of the c. I. A. Billions of american dollars have gone into the counterterrorism structure there. And yet, they hung their policy around trying to build up you know, a Central Government their own Security Forces but theres a little bit of defensive play right now from the white house, even this week the press spokesman, josh earnest earnest, called that the successful model. Its not successful at the moment. You have Anthony Blinken in saudi arabia delivering more weapons to the saudis. Who are engaged in this remarkable intervention in yemen right now with other arab countries. Do you think theres any reservations in the administration about being so public about taking such sides here . I dont think so basically in for a penny, in for a pound. Presumably theyre trying to protect the massive investment thats already in there. And knowing that you know which side do you want to win . Right now al qaeda is exploiting this vacuum. The saudis have done you know got quite a good cobbled together a local coalition. The americans are providing some weapons, some intelligence doing what they can, they may or may not be a ground invasion. Every day we hear that maybe the saudis will put boots on the ground. Two things one, its not working, the houthis are still, still massively advancing. Some of their bases have been somewhat disrupted. And two, you know its very very difficult to know whether this is just a proxy war, civil war or is it going to be you know just a massive collapse. When you say proxy . The saudis are backing right now, one group. They say the iranians are backing another. Youre very slow on that why . Because theres no physical proof. Everybody says because its a shiite sect and certainly the iranians have said stop the intervention. But ive tried to figure out and asked and asked about tangible proof is the iranian general there . Are iranian weapons getting there . As yet, i havent, nobody has been able to deliver that proof. And from any platform or podium. So but it doesnt matter its still a major, major issue thats going on there. Christiane always great to have you on to give us context like this. President obama tackling the issue of Climate Change never guess what he said he can do to your health if nothing is done to fight the problem . He sat down oneonone with our dr. Sanjay gupta.

I remember when i first went to college in los angeles in 1979 the air was so bad that you couldnt go running outside. And youd have air quality alerts and people who had respiratory problems or were vulnerable had to stay inside. We took action and theres a lot better incidence of asthma and other diseases wept down. The same is true of Climate Change. Thats president obama talking about the threat that Climate Change poses to Public Health. He addressed that issue at howard university. Cnns chief medical correspondent, dr. Sanjay gupta was there, you saw him speaking oneonone with the president. Sanjay joins us now. Live from the white house. Ive heard the president talk . Somewhat personal ways about clng and the threat on personal health. He said his daughter malia suffered from asthma so he was acutely aware of situations that Climate Change can pose. Whats the science linking Climate Change to Health Issues . Thats a great question. Its where we started the interview yesterday as well. I think the best way to sort of characterize the science is still emerging. I mean one of the things youll read often is that many doctors believe Climate Change is affecting their patients and that is happening now. But exactly in what ways i think is part of what theyre still trying to define. You mentioned asthma they say asthma rates have doubled over the last three decades. The question just how much of that is due to Climate Change how much of that is due to other things. Is not completely settled. But i think what people do agree on is that asthma worsening or exacerbations can happen because of Climate Change. Because of more particulates in the air. I think this is a reframing in some ways of Climate Change and global warming. As more of a Public Health issue. I think its been going on for some time. Its the first time weve heard the president speak so forcefully about it. Doctor what can we do about it . How can we protect ourselves . When i talked to the president about that i think there was a message in here for the community at large. Also for doctors and nurses to be aware of Climate Change as potentially being a factor in what is causing some of their patients illnesses, i think for the average person its going to be more of a question. Recognizing the air quality around you. They got a partnership for example with microsoft and google. To allow people to be empowered, to measure the air quality in their communities, even in their homes. You know right now, i think the message was more for the medical community at large. And obviously for carbon emitters. Coalfired power plants saying we need to reduce emissions, reduce them by 2830 by the year 2025. Weve been talking about global warming, talking about Climate Change for a long time. I think this again reframing of it as a Public Health issue is something that everybody you know he says should Pay Attention to. So tying Climate Change to personal health and Public Health. Obviously the Biggest Health care issue the president has dealt with in his presidency is health care itself. The passing of the Affordable Care act. The Supreme Court once again weighing a decision that could in some ways derail obamacare. Did you have a chance to talk to him about that . I asked him about that you couldnt do an interview with him about Health Without talking about this topic. Look youre right, john. At some point this spring were going to hear again from the Supreme Court, a major challenge to the Affordable Care act. What it has to do basically is states that do not have statebased exchange will people in those states be able to continue to receive subsidies . I asked him about that and i also asked him look if the Supreme Court decision rules against the Affordable Care act, what is the plan b . Listens to what he said. If the Supreme Court made a ruling that said the folks who have federal exchange dont get the tax credits, what you would end up seeing is millions of people losing their Health Insurance. And the truth is that there arent that many options available, if in fact they dont have tax credits. They cant afford to get the Health Insurance thats being provided out there. So really no plan b. I mean hes very confident, john that the Supreme Court decision is going to rule in favor of the Affordable Care act. The people are not going to lose subsidies. If it doesnt happen he just says theres going to be millions of people who lose those subsidies, lose their health care insurance. There is no particular plan b. So there you have it. Well know more about that probably sometime late they are spring. But thats sort of the white houses position on the whole Supreme Court issue right now. Sanjay were you guys both hooked up to monitors during this interview . Theres all kinds of equipment as youre talking to the president. They were measuring my heart rate to make sure i wasnt fluctuating too much. No those were just props, we were in a Hospital Simulation Center thats where they decided to do the event. But it did feel very medical. Dr. Sanjay gupta, great to have you here with us. Following a lot of news this morning, lets get right to it. This is a cop who felt like he could get away with just shooting someone. The wounds found on my brother, they couldnt say anything but murder. Theyre more worried about the coverup than they were about saving somebodys life. The United States is deepening the battle for yemen. Weve increased our intelligencesharing. A breach of White House Computers by Russian Hackers. Theyve been targeting our infrastructure for a long time. Its not as safe as it should be. He was a 23yearold kid who witnessed something committed by somebody he knew. The evidence in this case shows that hernandez was much more involved than just an innocent bystander. This is new day, with chris cuomo, Alisyn Camerota and michaela pereira. Good morning, everyone, welcome back to your new day, michaela is off, john berman joins us great to have you here this morning. The this morning, South CarolinaPolice Officers on the other side of the law, charged with murder after shooting and killing an unarmed black man. There is a dramatic and disturbing new video of this incident. And it shows officer Michael Slager shooting 50yearold walter scott eight times while scott runs in the other direction. The officer says he needed to fire eight times because he feared for his life. But the video shows a very different account. The incident will also reignite the debate about Excessive Force by police. And who investigates these cases. Our coverage begins with cnns Martin Savidge live in charleston South Carolina. Whats the latest . Good morning, chris, were standing outside of the home of the parents of walter scott. And they have been speaking out. Theyre saying that theyre grateful that the truth has come out. Theyre grateful for that video. [ gishtunshots ] this disturbing video has South Carolina officer Michael Slager behind bars this morning. Charged with murder. The threeminute video capturing shooting death of walter scott over the weekend. When youre wrong, youre wrong. Taped by a bystander, it reveals the 33yearold officer shooting scott in the back. [ gunshots ] while he ran away. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting police said officer slager stopped scott for a broken taillight in North Charleston. Through an attorney officer slager described a scuffle. Claiming the 50yearold fought for his taser and he felt threatened. In the video you see what could be a taser fall. And scott takes off. Running away as slager fires eight times. Shots fired, subject is down. He grabbed my taser. Although hes lying facedown, the officer handcuffs scott. Next slager jogs back to where he fired his gun and picks up something, perhaps the taser. But from this video, its not entirely clear. Back by scotts body he drops the small black object. Then moments later, he picks it back up. The coast guard veteran and father of four, dies on the scene. Scotts family attorney contends without the video, there would be no murder charge. The officer said that mr. Scott attacked him and pulled his taser and tried to use it on him. But somebody was watching. When asked if race played a role North Charlestons police chief says he isnt ruling it out. I think that all of these Police Officers on this force, men and women, are my like my children. So you tell me how a father would react to seeing his child do something. Just about everyone agrees that if it were not for that video, chris, it would be an entirely different story. Quite literally, as to the person who took the video, they remain anonymous this morning, and reportedly in hiding. Fearing for their own safety. Chris . Yeah another detail that speaks to the situation and the circumstances surrounding these types of violent actions, martin thank you very much. Lets figure out what the video means for this case and others lets bring in cedric alexander, the president of the National Organization of black Law Enforcement executives and a member of president obamas task force on the 21st Century Policing project. They just released a list of recommendations to change the Nations Police policies. It couldnt come at a better time. Cedric good to have you on the show sorry for such tragic reason once again. Lets begin with what the video shows and break down the moments and the aspects of this that speak to the specific case and also a trend that were seeing and how to stop it all right . This is the video for people at home who havent seen it yet. [ gunshots ] now cedric just for the people at home what we dont see on the video is the altercation that the Police Officer said spurred him to fear for his life and to shoot one time. That was his initial statement, that the police echoed. We dont see that. True. But just from your general knowledge, cedric fighting over a taser, could the Police Officer have reasonably feared for his life when he already discharged that taser and we dont know that he had reloaded another cartridge in it . Was it a reasonable fear that he would be in fear of his life . What is particularly interesting about this case first of all, my hearts and prayers go out to the family of this victim. But whats important here regardless of what occurred prior to that shooting it is very evident to all of us who watched this horrible horrible video, that is so disturbing. You see a man who can barely run, run away from an officer, clearly of no threat to him. Any longer. Regardless of what occurred. Obviously is not, dont have a weapon. He could not have had the weapon considering the fact that hes running away hes not attempting to do any harm. And the officer shoots him in the back firing his weapon eight times, thats disturbing. That is very hard to justify. But heres whats clearly important as well too. That agency that Police Agency took immediate action. They sought outside investigators to come in and in this particular case where the video clearly was very important and brought the evidence forth to all of us that were seeing right now. Was able to bring this case to a pretty rapid close. But cedric i do think its important to check what we see as a chain of events here. Outside investigators came in yes. But theres a big question i dont know how thoroughly you cover it in your report that youre giving to the president from the task force. But the police echoed this cops statement early on. Of course his lawyer put out what he was saying thats the lawyers job. The lawyer quit once the video came out, were told. But the officer says there was an alter case over his taser, he was afraid for his life he had to shoot one time. Okay . Its so off from what the video reveals that it does raise the question of should the Police InvestigateExcessive Force cases of its own officers instead of an independent body investigating them . No. I will say and its in that report that youre holding there, chris, and that is one of the many regulations along with action items that were made in that report. Along with myself and ten other colleagues as well too. Is that it is important and we strongly recommend that any time your agency is involved in a shooting, is that you seek an outside independent investigator. Ive had a couple of shootings here in my community over the last couple of months. What we have done and what we will continue to do to be sure that were exposing being transparent, being open and honest and speaking to the community as quickly as we can around these shootings. But whats really important here we have to do is seek that outside, independent investigation, so that people feel that theres fairness and unbias taking place. Under the category of god forbid there this is something that never needed to happen and his life is gone and his family is ruined by that. But god forbid we didnt have this video yet, right and the police are going along. The forensics were going to be damning for this cop because he discharges a weapon eight times, not once and hits him multiple times at distance. But imagine if the video came out a month from now. After those had been hit and we saw the nonchalance of how this officer cuffs him on the ground when is hes already incapacitated and doesnt even check his pulse for a while and then drops something near him and some type of suggestion of a coverup. It doesnt look like he dropped it out of negligence, he dropped it intentionally. You know they saw that. And then they see later on he seems to pick something up off the scene. Maybe a second guess. Imagine if all of these things had happened and the neglect of the body and the nonchalance of the officers after they had heard a narrative from police about how he had to do it everything was followed the community should settle down. Imagine how destructive it would be . Thats why it raises the question of should people think this happens more often than we know, because theres no video. Obviously people do think that. Is that fair . No. You know what is fair is this heres the good part about this chris. There was video there and it shows a significance and importance of having video. And that sin credibly important. And it just happens that there was a bystander who videoed this a brave person by the way. Absolutely. Had that video not been introduced to us we would have just gone pretty much solely on what that officer told us. Of course we would have looked at the physical evidence that related to that crime scene. But we would not have known what may or may not have been altered. It brings a great deal of suspicion when that officer casually walks over to that subjects body appeared to drop something on the ground. And then pick it back up. Whatever was going on it doesnt look good. It looks incredibly suspicious. Heres whats important here too, chris. Is that that community, that local outside Law Enforcement investigative group, took immediate action and were able to put evidence together very very quickly, under this particular set of circumstances. That may not apply to each and every case. It may be more drawn out it may take more time. But here again, if you go back to that report that youre holding, it becomes very important to keep in mind as well too, that inside that report it suggests very strongly the importance of technology. Technology i. E. Body cameras. You say body cams for all cops . Absolutely i support it for Police Officers across this country. Because i think it provides one, it tells us and gives us more evidence as to what occurred. To support or negate either that of the Police Officer or that of the citizen that becomes engaged in an altercation with the police. Cedric alexander thank you so much. Were going to continue this conversation a lot of bigger issues will grow out of this. Absolutely. The video is so powerful for the final moments, its what happened before that matters just as much what the police said how it was investigated when they moved on this officer. Thank you very much for your perspective. Now we want to get to a developing cybersecurity story affecting president obama. According to officials, Russian Hackers gained access to sensitive parts of the white house Computer System including realtime updates on the president s schedule. Cnns evan perez joins us live from washington with the latest. This is troubling, evan. Thats right, alisyn. These rush hackers broke into sensitive parts of the white house email system. In realtime they could see parts of the president s schedule not disclosed to the public. The hackers got in by breaking into the state departments email servers, once this there they tricked someone into giving them access to the system serving the executive office of the president. The white house last october disclosed suspicious activity in its unclassified email systems. But Deputy National security adviser, ben rhodes told Cnns Wolf Blitzer last night on the situation room, that even a breach of unclassified email is serious. Evan thank you very much. We have u. S. Investigators believe that the hackers were working for the russian government. So according to officials they pulled off one of the most serious cyberbreaches against the u. S. Government breach and thats why the intelligence officials are so concerned about all this. You think that the white house and state department should be immune and impenetrable to these sorts of things theyre the very targets that are hit. It does seem a little nonchalant. Christiane made a good point. Saying its been going on for time immemorial. Everybody hacks everybody. It seems so dangerous, but doesnt get the response as it would if it were physical attacks. Gunfire exchanged involving u. S. Troops in gentleman bad and afghanistan. Reports that that three u. S. Troops were shot and wounded by an afghan soldier if that is the case that would make it one of the green ononblue types of incidents weve seen over the years. Well give you more information as soon as its available. Chicago mayor rahm emanual wins reelection, he will get his second term after defeating cook county commissioner Jesus Chuy Garcia in the citys firstever mayoral runoff.

What is that . I havent seen that before . Its just a small toke than i found somewhere. Did you . Back to our top story, so much to talk about this a black man shot dead by a white South CarolinaPolice Officer. This raises the debate about Excessive Police force. And president obama is heading to a summit in panama cuban leader raul castro will be there. Will the two meet about thawing diplomatic relations . Is there another handshake on the horizon . Well take you through it. People ship all kinds of things. But what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. That need to be kept at 41 degrees.

It used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. Whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, thats what id like to do. I dont, i dont think that all Police Officers are bad cops. But there are some bad ones out there. And i dont want to see anyone get shot down the way that my brother got shot down. That was the brother of walter scott, the man shot in the back by a South CarolinaPolice Officer. That officer charged with murder. After authorities watched cell phone video that caught the crime. We want to bring in brian hicks, the metro columnist for the charleston South Carolina newspaper, the post and courier and joey jackson, hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney. Thank you so much for being with us. Joey i want to start with you, you are a criminal defense attorney youve watched this video. How would you defend this officer . Im very concerned by what i see and im concerned for the following reasons. The first thing you look at in defending Something Like this would be the immediacy of the threat. Is there imminent threat posed to your client. And the officer says there was, they had wrestled there had been some sort of altercation, not caught on video and they had wrestled over a stun gun and he feared for his life. According to the officer. Im concerned about that a person can say anything a client can say anything to me. The reality is what i see with my eyes. When you evaluate that and look for the immediacy of the threat is it immediate when someone is running away from you whrks he theyre 15 feet ten feet away from you, theyre going in the opposite direction, theyre not confronting you at the time. Thats something you have to examine. The these thing you have to concern me from a defense perspective is the issue of the proportionality of the threat any force you use has to be proportionate to any threat posed. If youre not under immediate threat of attack and youre shooting at someone running away thats a concern. The final thing that concerns me and there are many others but the issue of reasonableness. Will a grand jury and will a jury evaluate this in the context of what is he acting reasonably. You match that up against other facts in terms of him being unarmed. And the fact that that video appears to show what i see, something being placed a weapon being placed there by the officer. And its a very very much a challenge for a defense attorney. We should mention that his original attorney did drop the case. Shortly after getting it. Brian, i want to bring you in. Because it was you, you and your newspaper that originally obtained this video and posted it online. Can you give us more context about this video . What else you know about it . Not really. An anonymous person whoever shot the video, gave it to an attorney who contacted one of our reporters. And we saw it for the first time yesterday afternoon. Probably just a few hours before the Police Department did. Did the anonymous person tell you that they witnessed anything that happened before they turned on their cell phone camera . We have not been able to interview that person. I do not know the identity of that man. We know weve been told that that person is keeping their identity secret because they are in fear this morning because its caused obviously such a conflagration. Whats happening in the community, brian, about this crime . Things are pretty calm here right now. The best we can tell. Its sad to say, but some people in the community have been saying for years that the North CharlestonPolice Department engaged in racial profiling and treated black citizens differently than white citizens. Nothing like this has ever happened before. And so the sad cynical thing to say is some people say, well we told you so. And that is that is what i was writing about today. Is that there are a lot of good Police Officers in North Charleston. And slager has basically given ammunition to their critics, its going to take a lot of time to get over that. Such a good point. Before i get back to joey what have you learned about officer slager . The man who has now been charged with murder . Well we know that hes been on the force since 2009. He was in the coast guard. And as far as we can tell he only had one prior incident in which he tazed a man at his home. He was later exonerated slager was. But from what i heard, and i hate to say this because i havent looked at the police report. But apparently the man tased was the victim of a burglary no the a burglar. Mistaken identity. It sounds like it. So joey is this another case like Michael Brown, where what happened before the shooting matters . Where theres some we dont see the altercation. Can the defense say, something happened that was so troubling to the officer that he did fear for his life and will that exonerate him . Its a very difficult argument to make. Michael brown stood on its own merits it was evaluated by a grand jury. It was what it was. This video puts it in context, the defense will argue that theres things we dont see that occurred before that may have affected the state of mind of that Police Officer. What he was thinking feeling, believing. But still in all, if something most egregious happened theyll evaluate the officer, did heavy any injuries what occurred to him, how significant were they if any existed. At the end of the day, the law doesnt allow for retaliation, it only allows for defending yourself and protecting yourself in the immediacy of any type of fear. The Supreme Court ruled on it said if youre a fleeing felon, the reality is you can only be subdued and deadly force used if youre posing a danger to the officer or others. That does not appear from the indication of the tape to be the case. Do we know anything about the past and the background of the victim walter scott . He has a very minor criminal record. And most of it is nonpayment of child support. And he may have had an outstanding warrant for that right now. Were not sure. He certainly didnt have any felony. He was not a fleeing felon. Thats for sure. Brian hicks, joey jackson, thanks so much for trying to help us walk through all of this. Lets get over to john. Thanks a the although alisyn.

A white cop in South Carolina is behind bars facing murder charges for shooting and killing a black man. No grand jury no real delay. Why . The video youre looking at right now taken by a bystander showing the officer shooting at an unarmed 50yearold who is lumbering away at the time after a traffic stop went wrong. Officer Michael Slager and the Police Department had been saying he had to shoot walter scott because scott had taken his stun gun and he shot once. But the video obviously shows much more. Not just the alleged murder but also slager dropping the stun gun near scotts body after the shooting. Scotts family is now planning a civil lawsuit. The Russian Hackers behind a sophisticated state department cyberattack apparently also gained access to sensitive parts of the white house Computer System. The breach reportedly included nonpublic details of president obamas schedule. And National Security official maintains the attack only affected the unclassified system. And the government workers are advised not to share Sensitive Information there. This morning, investigators trying to figure out what caused a private plane to crash, killing all seven people on board. The plane was returning to illinois from the ncaa tournament in indianapolis when it went down. Among those killed an Illinois StateUniversity Basketball coach, and another member of that colleges athletic department. So you lose a go pro at about 10,000 feet i think we found it. This is a sky divers go pro camera, it slips from his helmet. Plummets 10,000 feet to the ground. This would be like if you were the camera the camera remains intact. It hits the ground its okay. The man who found the go pro in sweden is trying to track down the owner to return it. The footage is believed to be four years old. That looks like saturday night to me. Thats my memories of saturday night like that. That needs to be a commercial for go pro. Its indestructible. If it was a go pro. They need to use that in their advertising. It lasted in a fall from 10,000 feet. I think thats a great segue, lets bring in john king with inside politics on new day, good morning, john. Im kind of tempted to go inside bermans saturday night after that. Well just leave that where it is. Parcheesi. With me Margaret Talbot and of bloomberg. We know the bill b. I. G. Challenge for rand paul the son of ron paul started his career in politics saying lets reduce the American Military presence overseas. The republican establishment especially with the rise of isis is nervous about that. Listen to rand paul yesterday in his announcement speech trying to thread the needle. Conservatives should not succomb though to the notion that a government inept at home will somehow succeed in Building Nations abroad. I envision a National Defense that promotes as reagan put it peace. Through strength. Will the conservatives accept the rand paul comparing himself to ronde ragonald reagan . The neoconservatives are not going to accept him, theyre targeting him with a pretty large television buy, going after him. Which raises a larger question about rands candidacy and his whole political identity. The shortterm versus the longterm. Hes making a shortterm play to accommodate the National Security conservatives in his party and also frankly the cultural conservatives in in his party. Would he have been better off being more true to a libertarian approach and making a longterm play to be a viable candidate down the road by forcing the party to become more of a Libertarian Party . What hes done now essentially is trying to be viable this time around. But doing so do you lose your own identity as the sort of libertarian style candidate . You can see the tension. The more the he embraces the establishment, the more the libertarians might say wait a minute this is not rand paul. Who are you, we dont accept this are you genuine . But peace through strength are not three random words strung together that is a rallying cry of the Neoconservative Movement originally the specific use of those three words is more than just a move to accommodate. Its a buzz word buzz phrase its all in the eye of the beholder president obama would say hes operating from a position of strength. Rand paul would say president obama is operating from a position of weakness. Can he keep his tea party slice, keep the libertarians without losing them grow into the mainstream republican establishment, one of the guys who hopes to block him is former Florida Governor jeb bush. Listen to him saying welcome to the race but libertarianism definitely has a place in the gop. We all share a common belief that we need to limit governments power. I do think theres some differences of opinion on foreign policy. Should i get into the race . Ill express my views about the need for a strong National Defense and for an america that is consistent so our friends know that we have their back and our enemies fear us a little bit. Thats what creates peace and stability, which i think is the objective that everybody wants. Rand pauls presence guarantees a debate were going to have anyway. They believe the republicans do that Hillary Clinton will be the democratic nominee. They want to go after her record as secretary of state. They believe, the republicans do that president obama has mishandled isis or boko haram. It insures it takes place. It would have been a more robust debate had rand stuck to his more sort of pure libertarian approach on foreign policy. But this is someone who has signed the tom cotton letter to iran. This is somebody who introduced during the budget process an amendment to increase defense spending. Which is unthinkable. And well be hearing more about israel a lot. It will take place, i just think it would have been much more robust had he run on a more sort of ron paulesque candidacy. Where he was a year ago. But the times have changed. Hes adapting to the changing world events. The question is does he lose some of his standing because of that another world event that could become an issue in this campaign and will become a big issue in the country and around the world. The president is going to a regional summit in panama we know that raoul castro will be there. Remember we have to go back to the Eisenhower Administration a long time they didnt have this thing called Cable Television back then. No twitter. The question is how much of an interaction, how much of a dialogue between an american president and a cuban leader . A big question for the president is do you take cuba off the list of countries that are state sponsors of terrorism . Listen to what the president told npr about it he said hes waiting for a state Department Recommendation but he is looking to turn the page. I dont expect an immediate transformation to cuban american relationship overnight. But i do see the possibility, a great hunger within cuba to begin a change a process that ultimately i think can lead to more freedom and more opportunity. Now hes optimistic looking at the longterm. He also notes i assume if he spends a lot of time with raoul castro the conservatives, like they do with iran will say what do you do if you cant trust these people . The white house said theres not going to be a bilateral meeting where he and castro hammer out stuff and sit down. But they havent ruled out a number of interactions to just sitting hey, how is it going or sitting together in Group Meetings or spending time together on the sidelines or inside the summit. The question is is he going to take cuba off of the state sponsors of terror list . This is a designation that goes back to the reagan era. If you go to the state Department Page and you actually read what the designations are. Its a pretty halfhearted designation to begin with if you read it on the page. It deals with things like farc and basque separatists. The president , even if he doesnt go all the way, it seems like they may be poised to. Even just in raising the issue is signaling pretty clearly he wants to go. The question is why give them another carrot when they have not reciprocated in the American Government view including the obama administrations view with more openness freeing Political Prisoners and things like that . This is a cornerstone of president obamas foreign policy. The socalled Obama Doctrine which is basically instead of using sticks you know try some carrots. The isolation against a lot of these regimes hasnt worked over the years, he would argue its been selfdefeating it hasnt changed the status quo, lets try a different approach. Bill clinton is on the cover of town and country magazine. I repeat. Bill clinton son the cover of town and country magazine. I love this idea. Mr. President , if were you a tree what kind of tree would you be. Hes talking about his potential role in a Hillary Clinton campaign. He said i think its important and hillary does too, that she go out there fast shes never run for anything before and establish her connection to the voters and my role would be backstage adviser to her as we get closer closer to the election. And thats a backstage role on the cover of a magazine . It jibes with everything that were hearing about the coming hillary campaign. Lowkey, much more intimate with voters more biographical touches about who she is. And a very different experience than 08. The rallies crowds may come. She wants to start this thing slowly. And reintroduce herself to the american electorate. Its just yet another exclamation point in the changing of our business to help with the president ial campaign youre on the cover of town and country. Alisyn if theres somebody special in your life who needs a gistd and likes politics when rand paul launched his campaign he launched a website to sell merchandise, there if youre skeptical about nsa spying you can get a laptop camera blocker to keep the government from snooping on you. Hes an opthalmologist dr. Paul can you get an eye chart at rand pauls website and get flip flops that say i stand with rand that one is a bit more of a risk. Somebody who people say has changed his position on a border fence or changed his position on foreign aid to israel selling flipflops might lead to a couple of latenight jokes. I think you are setting it up perfectly. I like that you can stop the nsa for just 15, thats a deal right there. If you only knew edward snowden. Thanks john. Thanks for that.

Officials are saying only unclassified systems were affected they consider it one of the most sophisticated attacks ever launched against government systems. Joining us is is former Homeland Security and counterterrorism adviser fran townsend. Thanks for being here. The headline say larmis alarming, russia hacks the white house. Theres nothing new about spying. Then it moves on to more sophisticated things like electronic surveillance i remember doing a case where they planted a bug in the state Department Conference room. And they were actually monitoring that. This is a long history of russian spying against americans. Heres what makes it different. We know that the russians have got a very capable cyber offensive capability. Weve seen it before weve seen it against georgia. Weve seen them shutting down systems including dedicated denial of service. This is far more aggressive. What theyre talking about is this is an offensive operation. And its very targeted. Even though its a classified system. We know now that the president s schedule may have been accessed. What theyre not telling you is these are the systems that they write the talking points, they do the negotiating strategy. Was the iranian negotiating strategy breached . We dont know that the dialogue between the state department and the white house about policy positions, predecisional. That is officials going back and forth, whos on what side of a policy argument . Thats the kind of very valuable intelligence that the russians can get at. It may not be classified doesnt mean its not sensitive. Fran you call it a very sophisticated operation. And ive heard that phrase tossed around over the last several hours. The way they got into the white house apparently was through phishing which is what happens to people you know when theyre like j. Crew account. You say weve got a great deal for you. Open this email. This does not sound like a sophisticated attack. No but people are more aware, people talk about phishing they understand youre not talking about a rod and reel. They understand that now, thats good. The ability to launch a phishing attack has gotten better. I got one, it said apple pay. I have an apple pay account, and you click on it and theres no reason the icon looks right. All of it looks right until you look at the domain. When you go to reply to this. Look at the email address at the top and you realize its going to a gomail account. It couldnt possibly be apple pay. You and me and my grandparents and stuff with their gmail accounts its not supposed to happen in the white house, right . It isnt. But these guys are very sophisticated. Theyll get into the state Department System and they use that as what we call a trojan. That is you then go in when the state department account, goes into the white house, in an email, you travel with it and youre masked that way to get inside the white house system. Does the white house, u. S. Government have a way to detect this as its happening or when it has happened . Do you know when youve been hacked . We didnt. We didnt originally right . Going back to my time in the white house, i left in 200, early 2008. We were just setting up those systems. So the answer is now yes, theyve got the ability to monitor the perimeter of each of the Government Entities the domain accounts and look for the sort of aberrant activity identify it. Sort of put, restrict it to what it has access to and to watch how it moves about. To understand what theyre trying to collect. Watch how it moves about. In other words, its there, its still there. They know its there. And they cant get rid of it completely . Sometimes you want to watch it right . You want to see what it is theyre looking for. So its basically running an intelligence operation against what theyre doing. And you can restrict then what theyve got access to once youve identified it. The more difficult part is identifying it and make sure youve gotten it completely. Think thats why weve heard the director of National Intelligence jim clapper talk about how big a threat the Russian Hackers are. When you say Russian Hackers, i want to break it down. Is that like Vladimir Putin behind his laptop . Or not even that his intelligence people doing this . Or are these criminal elements . And lord knows theres a lot of them in russia as well. Youve got both. Youve got the russian criminal who is are looking at your j. Crew account, to use your example, right. Theyre looking at Commercial Accounts and looking for personal data because they can make criminal use of it by stealing your identity. But you also have Intelligence Services and you have proxies that are outsiders used by russian Intelligence Services to launch these attacks and allow them some deniability. And there may be some overlap, too, which is interesting. Thats right. Fran townsend great to have you with us. The secret lives of first families revealed by white house staff.

And natural gas is a big part of that commitment. Ten minutes before 8 00 in the east. How about the walls of the white house. Imagine if they could talk . The history, the debotchery. A newly released book revealing the intimate details of the drama unfolding from 1600 pennsylvania avenue. Who better than Brianna Keilar here with a provocative details. What do you know . You say if you walls could talk. If the staff could talk. They are now talking so we learn a lot through this book. Nancy reagan perhaps the most particular of the recent residents in the white house. L. B. J. Perhaps the most peculiar. And according to multiple sources in this book the clintons the most paranoid. Reporter as bill and Hillary Clinton prepare to fight their way back into the white house, a new book reveals details about the explosive arguments they had inside its halls. There was blood all over the president and first ladys bed. The blood was bill clintons. What did they think had happened . Well everyone on the staff said that they were convinced that she clocked him with a book. Reporter in an abc interview at the time clinton dismissed similar rumors that she had thrown a lamp at the president. I had a pretty good arm. If i had thrown a lamp you would have known about it. Reporter insiders said the Monica Lewinsky scandal reeling. An usher helped her get to the Swimming Pool unspotted and without a secret service detail. He escorted her making sure she wouldnt have to see any secret Service Agents staffers. She didnt want to see anyone. She specifically said that. He was so proud that he was able to make this happen. Reporter just a few of the juicy tidbits in a new largely on the record account of life behind the scenes in the white house. Kate anderson brouwer interviewed dozens of former made maids, but the letters, door men dating back to the kennedy years. For the residents inside the private world of the white house. Their accounts of everyday life at 1600 pennsylvania avenue seemingly ripped from the script of the pbs series downton abbey. Just like the show the lack of privacy is a constant theme. Former employees describe bill and hillary as the most private first couple theyve worked for. Ive had staffers say the clintons were the most definitely paranoid first family that they ever had to work with. They didnt ever really fully trust the staff. It took them a whole year to really carry on a conversation while the staff was in the room. Reporter and the clintons had the white house phone system rewired so they could make their own calls instead of going through an operator. Now the clintons ultimately did get on much better with the staff. In fact there are a number of sweet moments in this book not just with the clintons but with all of the administrations. One, for instance during the height of the lewinsky scandal, the pastry chef tells of Hillary Clinton frequently calling and asking for her favorite dessert, which was mocha cake. That was something he prided her on. He could give her that little bit of comfort. Also a lot of the female staff at least amongst themselves in the residence let it be known that they were rather happy that Hillary Clinton had relegated bill clinton to the couch. Yup. You said this was mostly on the record. Are people using their real names to talk . Oh, yeah. Real names. Former but the letters, florists electricians. The electrician. They know everything. They know how its wired. An electrician reveals an interesting story about Richard Nixon and just actually right after he resigned the person who walked from the oval office to the residence with president nixon at his request was the electrician, which is sort of ironic. Yeah. To your point. Its a good read. Sounds like it. I was like this last night. I bet you were. After that im firing my butler. Thanks so much. You bet.

Good to have you, my friend. The big story, a South Carolina cop said he feared for his life and had to fire at a victim. Turns out, officer Michael Slager had something bigger to fear a video tape. What youre watching right now shows the reality. There it is. The victim running away 50yearold walter scott. The officer, slager shooting at him. This video from a bystander, a cell phone, and it does capture what appears to be a completely excessive use of force. As you said chris, walter scott, the victim was running away from the officer. Slager still fired eight times. This incident reigniting a fierce debate about Excessive Force by police. We will speak to Walter Scotts brother. Martin savidge is live in charleston South Carolina with more. Martin. Reporter good morning, alisyn. Were standing outside of the scott family home. That family has been speaking out. Of course first and foremost they are horrified to see the death of their son and their brother on video, and then broadcast around the nation but they are also grateful that the truth has come out. They are grateful for the video. This disturbing video has South Carolina officer Michael Slager behind bars this morning charged with murder. I have two here, one on the way. Reporter the threeminute video showing the shooting of walter scott over the weekend. When youre wrong, youre wrong. Reporter taped by a bystander it reveals the 33yearold officer shooting scott in the back while he ran away. [ bleep ]. Reporter in the immediate aftermath of the shooting police said officer slager stopped scott for a broken taillight in North Charleston. Through an attorney officer slager described a scuffle claiming the 50yearold fought for his taser and he felt threatened. In this video you see what could be a taser fall and scott takes off running away as slager fires eight times. Shots fired. Subject is down. Hes got my taser. Reporter although hes lying face down the officer handcuffs scott. Next slager jogs back to where he fired his gun, picks up something, perhaps the taser, but from this video its not entirely clear. Back by scott body he drops the small black object then moments later he picks it back up. The coast guard veteran and father of four dies on the scene. Scotts family attorney contends without the video there would be no murder charge. The officer said that mr. Scott attacked him and pulled his taser and tried to use it on him but somebody was watching. Reporter when asked if race played a role North Charlestons police chief says he isnt ruling it out. I think that all of these Police Officers on this force, men and women, are like my children so you tell me how a father would react to seeing his child do something. Reporter just about everyone agrees if it were not for that video it could literally be a whole different story. As to who shot that video, that person remains anonymous this morning and reportedly in hiding fearing for their own safety. Back to you. Thanks so much for all of that background martin. We want to bring in now Walter Scotts brother, anthony scott. And joined by justin sandberg. I hope i have that right. Yes, maam. Thank you. Thanks so much. You are a late add so were happy to have you there, but i do want to start with anthony. Anthony, we can only imagine what these past few days have been like for your family. Can you tell us when you first heard that something bad had happened to your brother . When i first heard something bad happened to my brother i just thought that he had went down maybe had gotten injured at the traffic stop. And when i learned that he was dead i just couldnt believe that Something Like that would happen from a traffic stop. And i know that hes he didnt have anything you know tremendous happening to him in his life so im like what could have happened . Gone wrong, actually. And when was it that you and your family first saw this video . I saw the video on sunday. How did you process what it was that you were seeing on the video of your brothers last moments . Well the first thing that i thought about when i saw the video, i was like nothing that the officers had reported previously lined up to what was seen on the video. I was like thats he did not struggle. There was not a struggle for the taser, which i didnt believe my brother would have done that anyway but at the scene, the video, i was like he was running for his life not to be shot down not to be tased anymore. And i i think i think my brother might have thought that he was just he was not going to be shot. No one would have thought that. Of course. I do want to bring in state representative justin becameberg now. Mr. Bamberg, can you explain to us how the community has responded to this now that this videotape is so widespread and people can watch what happened . Well essentially what im seeing in terms of social media is a big one, people are upset. People are pointing out how wrong the officer was in gunning down mr. Scott in the fashion that he did. I can tell you that as i stand here i have not seen nor heard of any unrest in the communities in the sense of any talks of rioting or any of that nonsense that we do not want to happen. And i will take a second and say to anyone watching we do not want that to happen. Things are in play now and this officer is in the process of being prosecuted. We ask that you let the justice process run its course. And that is what makes this so different from some of the other incidents that weve seen such as ferguson. I mean the Police Department acted swiftly. At first they came out and it seemed that they had gotten the story wrong. They were behind their officer and they believed that he had only shot mr. Scott once but then when they saw the video they had to backpedal and they arrested this officer and they charged him with murder. Anthony, you have been so measured and so cool headed throughout all of this but when you heard that the Police Officer claimed that there had been some sort of altercation before the shooting that led to this and that he feared for his life what was your response . I didnt believe it. I didnt believe it from the beginning. Once i heard once i heard the report and read the report all i could say and think to myself was that everybody will know the truth because that i know it didnt happen the way he said it happened. I just knew it. I knew because i know my brother. And did your brother have any violence in his past . No, maam. No, maam. Can you tell us about the last time that you spent with your brother . The last time i spent with my brother we just celebrated my mother and my fathers 50th anniversary and we had a big celebration for them and thats the last time we were all together. And i read that your brother was happy and he was he loved music and he loved dancing and you thought that it was sort of a real high point for you two . Yes, it was. Yes, it was. It was a great celebration and it was actually a surprise for my mother. My dad and my brothers planned it and she was just totally surprised, and now this happens. Its so tragic but i would like for america to know that we would like for this to stop and i would like for cops to be accountable and let them know that if they try this again, somebody may be watching so they need to think twice before they fire their weapons. And if i may jump in here. Along those same lines, i want to go back to your mention, the swiftness of the arrest and the charge of this officer. I want to point out a very important distinction here is that after the incident sled which is the South CarolinaLaw Enforcement division it is a state agency independent of the North CharlestonPolice Department they stepped in and took over the investigation a of the shooting. The city of North Charleston and the North CharlestonPolice Department is not off the hook. Myself along with Chris Stewart are representing the family and we do intend to file a civil lawsuit. We have concerns right now as to the initial statements that were made and you heard him mention earlier with regard to some inconsistencies between what the officer said and what the video showed we need to find out exactly what the officers who may have been on the scene saw, heard, and told their superiors. I will give credit to sled as well as solicitor scarlet wilson for moving things along. Four days for a murder charge in a Law Enforcement officer shooting is pretty quick, and i think everybody can acknowledge that. Yeah absolutely. But theres a distinction between the city of North Charleston and sled which is the office that took over the investigation and made the decision to do it. Yes, maam. Anthony, we understood that your brother had four children. What was his relationship like with those kids . He had a very Good Relationship with his children. They have different parents. The older two have a different mother who is deceased and now they also lost a father and the younger two have was married to his wife. He was married to her. Theyre divorced but he brought them together like brothers and sisters from the same mother and there was no separation there and they loved each other that way. Now they no longer have a father. Anthony, what do you want to see happen . I just want to see more accountability in the United States. I dont want to see any violence. We dont want we just want it to be a change. We want this thing to change how officers handle situations and that a change can come over america where no other family would have to suffer the way my family is suffering right now. Well anthony scott, your words are so rational despite what your family is going through, and we appreciate you taking time to share your familys experience with us on new day. Justin bamberg, thank you for telling us your plans to tell us how to fix whats going on in North Charleston. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you. Thank you so very much. Chris. All allimportant transition there from the problem to finding a solution. And on that level, we just had the first election in ferguson missouri since Michael Brown was killed. Guess what missouri made positive history tripling the number of black representatives on the city council. Anna cabrera is live with the reaction. What is that . Reporter good morning, chris. This city has taken a big step forward. If you just look at the voter participation. In fact there were more City Council Member candidates that are africanamerican and a whole lot more people in this community turned out to the pole polls this time around. Voter turnout was more than the citys last election. A hopeful sign that change has come. A fresh face for fergusons future ella jones is now the first africanamerican woman elected to the Ferguson City council. This is home and im going to do everything i can to make it a better place for everyone. Reporter jones is one of three new Council Members poised to transform the embattled st. Louis suburb. You want to see changes done in a community, youve got to be involved. Reporter change the common mantra among voters trickling into polling stations tuesday. The voice is not going to work anymore. We have to straighten that out. Reporter the result new leadership that better represents the citys demo graphics a city thats almost 70 africanamerican. I am going to be the hardest working councilman period bar none. Reporter now with wesley bell and jones, the City Councils racial makeup flipped from five white members and one africanamerican to three white and three black members. We want people in leadership thats going to do right by the people. Lack of diversity among city leaders drew criticism following the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown last summer. A department of justice investigation recently revealed systemic Racial Discrimination by the Ferguson Police department and Municipal Court system. Some residents say those root issues sparked the eruption of emotion that led to weeks of violent protests and looting leaving painful reminders of the past and businesses that just havent recovered. Reporter what are your hopes for this new city council . I hope for a change. Pretty much i hope this just can bring ferguson back together. Reporter the future of ferguson is of course still in question, but this new group of city Council Members agree, Economic Development is a priority especially in the canfield green neighborhood where Michael Brown lost his life. Residents there are counting on these new leaders to make a difference. John. Ana cabrera, thank you so much. Breaking news out of afghanistan.

I want to be paurt of a return to prosperity a true economic boon that lists allamericans, a return to a government restrained by the constitution. Ou look at rand Paul Ted Cruz with maybe rubio getting in there, maybe christie as well do you see a man better than you . The word is not better but i understand what they stand for. What they ultimately stand for is more tax breaks for billionaires never ending wars and major cuts in Social SecurityMedicare Medicaid education and the needs for working families. Chris, the bottom line for me in politics is as a result of Citizens United youll have billionaire families like the Koch Brothers pouring millions of dollars in to the political process. As speech. Money is speech. You can give as much as you can. Youre right. You can spend hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the particular candidates you want and to dominate the elective process. I think that is a horror show. I worry very much whether candidates representing working families can win elections in the future. Why . Is money too much now . Absolutely. Give me an example. Yesterday we had an election in chicago. The guy i supported, his name is chuy garcia, he got out spent 6 to 1. By rahm emmanuel. When you have so much money coming into the political process. This is their agenda get rid of medicare, get rid of medicaid. Get rid of the concept of minimum wage. Cut federal aid to education and pell grants that is a terrible attack on the middle class. The goal is to do away with every major piece of legislation passed in the last 80 years and give more tax breaks to billionaires. Do you see outrage about this because i dont . The Supreme Court made it the law. It is a demonstration of First Amendment speech. Both parties, youre an independent, you have a little bit of a pass on this democrats do it just as much as republicans, maybe even more. President obama got more money from wall street than the republicans did. All right. I think, yes, democrats do do it but no one is going to keep up with the koch who are prepared to spend 900 billion in this election cycle. That is more money than the Democratic Party or the republican party. Meanwhile, the average american is working longer hours for lower wages. The average american is wondering how come 99 of all new income chris, is going to the top 1 top 1 10 of 1 . You dont believe anybody in the race right now wants to change that . Those guys . Yes. Oh, yeah they want to change it. They want to give more tax breaks to the richest people and make devastating cuts on programs for the working people. They want to make the. Rich er and everyone else poorer. Not what rand paul says. Yes, how do you do that . By giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy and large corporations. The same old same old trickle down economic theory. Hillary clinton have a better strategy . Well see. Why slow on Hillary Clinton . What has she said that you believe is suggesting of Something Better . She said she wont take any big money from people like the kochs . I think well have to do is see what Hillary Clinton is standing for. I will tell you what i believe, that is for example the Transpacific Partnership agreement is costing us a whole lot of money. Permanent trade relations with china. I will tell you Climate Change is one of the great planetary crises we face. Voted against the keystone pipeline. Thats my view. How passionately do you feel about this . How important is it to my kids futures . We are fighting for your kids and for my grandchildren. If we end up in a nation in which so few have so much and so many have so little where billionaires can buy elections, where we are not dealing with Climate Change i worry very much about the future of this great country. If you worry so much when are you going to get in the race senator sanders . Well were working on it. I keep asking you the same question. Maybe next time im back ill have a different answer. Oh, yeah . Every time you see someone else get in the race is it emboldening you or is it making you think its not for me . When you run on the platform that im giving thought to running on that is taking on the military industrial complex, taking on wall street taking on the insurance companies, taking on everybody, what i have to ascertain, is there support in the country . The biggest income disparity weve ever had. People are not looking for jobs what else do you need to see . Whether or not those people are so demoralized or whether or not they can are prepared to jump into the political process. People need a leader. Leaders go first. No one else is going to tell you this. It may be that we are at a stage where we cant beat these guys theyre just too powerful but i believe in what i have got to do. We have to continue the fight. We cannot let a handful of billionaires control the future of this country and thats all were going to struggle with. Senator sanders, always an important message. Appreciate having you on the show from vermont. See you again, sir. Thank you. Keep pushing you on this. Today at 5 00 p. M. Eastern, kentucky senator rand paul right there, wolf blitzer is going to sit down and test his vision for america. John. Thanks so much chris.

My name is bret hembree. I am an electric crew foreman out of the cupertino service center. I was born and raised in the cupertino area. Its a fantastic area to work. The new technology that we are installing out in the field is important for the customers because system reliability i believe is number one. Pg e is always trying to plan for the future and we are always trying to build something stronger and bigger and more reliable. I love living here and i love the community i serve. Nobody wants to be without power. I dont want my family to be without power. Its much more personal to me for that reason. I dont think theres any place i really would rather be. I would like for america to know that we want this to stop and i would like for cops to be accountable and let them know that if they try this again, somebody may be watching. That was brother of walter scott who was shot and killed by a white South CarolinaPolice Officer on saturday. That officer now charged with murder after that shocking videotape surfaced showing the officer shooting scott, who was unarmed, multiple times in the back. Joining us to discuss all of the ramifications our cnn legal analyst paul callan and cnn political commentator and host of huff post live mark lamot hill. Mark i want to start with you. Youve watched the videotape. What are your thoughts . It was stunning. I had read about it on twitter before i saw it and i didnt i still wasnt prepared for exactly what i saw. The most blatant and egregious form of police abuse of what i would even call Police Terrorism at this point. It was disturbing. It was disgusting. It was inexcuseable. I want to make sure that everyone talks not just about this man who died but to name the officers involved in this. To me this speaks to what many black people in america in particular have been saying for a very long time this happens with greater regularity than we ever want to admit. If there were not a videotape, we would be saying the Police Officer had a justifiable force, he was a monster, wed be splashing his mug shot around. These are myths people are circulating. Much encouragement to the person who was brave enough to tape it. Marc this is from quest love. He is the musician on Jimmy Fallons show. He tweeted something that resonated with lots of people. Can you imagine the amount of murders that went down before the age and development of cell phone videos . This didnt start this year. Paul thats an understandable sentiment, but we dont know the evidence of whether or not thats true. There are Police Shootings, sadly some of them justified, some of them not justified. What makes this different is there was cell phone video. The cell phone showed this man walter scott was shot eight times, tried to shoot eight times, then furthermore, he took what appears to be a stun gun and dropped it near the body in what appears to be a planting of the evidence and what we dont see on the video is any effort at assistance medical assistance in terms of cpr. You know going beyond that. I think the most disturbing thing also was heres this man shot in the back eight times, falls to the ground and you can imagine the pain he must have been in and the officer now is trying to cuff him behind his back. So its an attempt at execution followed by torture of the suspect. Its as bad as you can possibly imagine. I was looking at some of the statistics on South Carolina use of force cases. Over the last five years over 200 situations where officers have used their weapons against civilian suspects. There have been about 70 deaths that have resulted. Not a single South CarolinaPolice Officer has been convicted in one of these incidents. What does that tell us . Well what does that tell us . Because there was no videotape or because all of those were just justifiable. I think youre right. It didnt exist before. The story is the same the officer was threatened or the suspect had a gun. You know jurors tend to want to find in favor of the cops so in the absence of video, police win these cases. Marc here are some other statistics that are also telling. Go ahead. Make your point first. I think whats stunning to me is when you watch the tape how he automatically went into the defense mode. He wasnt frazzled. He wasnt frantic. He wasnt in despair. He immediately proceeded to walk towards the suspect, put your hands behind your back to handcuff him. The other officer came over, they dropped the stun gun next to him. They went right into protective mode. Im not saying he has done this before but his actions didnt look like it was the first time at the rodeo. Thats scary for Law Enforcement who may have a pattern of doing this. It doesnt mean that all Police Officers do this. Thats never been the argument. The problem is this might be happening with more stunning regularity than we as a nation want to admit. This videotape is so damning in that you can never know whats in somebodys heart, of course or mind but the cavalier nature with which he appears to be going towards the body is something that gives you pause. Marc what i wanted to show you were these statistics is the population of north charles ton South Carolina is 47 africanamerican and 37 white. Dont we need more local representation on the police force. Apartheid south africa had the most black people. Remember it appeared to be on the tape a black officer helping him. So black people didnt march and fight and struggle to have black officers kill us and black officers beat us and black officers harass us. I want Police Officers who are capable of doing the job properly. We need communitybased policing if we are going to believe police are the proper force to be in our neighborhoods. Let me throw one other statistic at you, marc. They seem to be equal opportunity shooters the South Carolina police. Because the majority of people shot by police have been caucasian in the past five years. So nationally . No in South Carolina. And fashionly, by the way. And nationally. There are many more white people than black people. There is a racial issue involved here but theres an issue of police using force inappropriately against people of all races. Look theres so much to analyze here. We have to look at the numbers and obviously changes need to be made. Marc lamot hill paul callan thanks for your insights. Lets get over to chris. Californias devastating drought. I dont live in california you say, why should i care . Because not only should you care about your fellow americans, its going to hit you in the wallet. Well tell you why coming up. I care deeply about the gulf. I grew up in louisiana. I went to school here. Ive been with bp ever since. Today, i lead a team that sets our Global Safety standards. After the spill we made two commitments. To help the gulf recover and become a safer company. Weve worked hard to honor both. Bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment. And five years of Research Shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. Weve toughened Safety Standards too. Including enhanced training. And 24 7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. And everyone has the power to stop a job at any time if they consider it unsafe. What happened here five years ago changed us. Im proud of the progress weve made both in the gulf and inside bp. Wow.

A federal judge has thrown out accusations from a woman who claimed she was forced to have sex with brittains Prince Andrew and attorney Alan Dershowitz and others. This happened while she was a teenager. Buckingham palace and attorney dershowitz have stated these were baseless. Joining us is Alan Dershowitz. Thanks for having me. This judge threw out all the allegations. Didnt say whether they were true or false, just said they are not pertinent to this case at all. Oh, yeah. He couldnt say whether they were true or false. He saw my affidavit categorically denying the charges. All we asked him to do was strike these false and scurrilous allegations. They had no relevance. He did that. He did exactly what we asked him. So is this complete vindication or do you need someone to go out there and say now legally speaking these were false, these were scurrilous these were scandalous. Im not satisfied until the lawyers and the woman admit that the story was made up out of whole cloth. Shes now been served. She tried to avoid service. We found her in colorado. She will be deposed and the world will see what hey liar she is that she made this up out of whole cloth. I dont know her. I never met her. She just made it up. Now well see that once the cross examination occurs under oath and if she continues to tell the story under oath shell be indicted for perjury. Youve sued the attorneys. Where does that all stand . Well fortunately, i have an opportunity through that lawsuit to prove that she was not telling the truth and made it up and i think they will no longer be able to hide behind the litigation privilege. They claim i cant sue them because its part of the litigation. The judge has held that it was improperly put in the litigation. Legally speaking it is not part of any litigation. No. Now this can be i think i have a clear road to proving that this story was made up. A couple of months ago i remember you speaking to Alisyn Camerota offering to testify. Have you given any testimony . No, but im anxious to give testimony and im anxious to juxtapose my travel records against her travel records to show that i could not have possibly been in the places at the times under the circumstances that she says i was. I will be able to prove categorically that she was lying. Hard to prove a negative but i can do it. Ive sworn under oath. Ive submitted a sworn affidavit in detail denying each of the allegations and i will repeat that under oath and be happy to be subject to cross examination. I have nothing to hide. What does this say about the legal system . I mean obviously youve been involved with the law for decades, more than 50 years, but what does this say in your mind that your name Prince Andrews name could have been connected to the case. Its just remarkable. 76 years old, retired from harvard, living the good life and its suddenly as if youre the victim of a driveby shooting. You are accused of this. Theres no opportunity to respond because they claim that they did it as part of a litigation privilege. The law should not permit lawyers to just throw these charges into a pleading and the judge essentially agreed with that and said it was wrong and said that it was enough of a sanction to strike this but this may not be the end of the road for these lawyers. These lawyers made irresponsible charges without doing adequate investigation. Theyre now suing me for saying that and im suing them for the defamation for making this claim. This goes back to your connection with jeffrey epstein. I was his lawyer. Do you regret his acquaintance with him . Im a lawyer. When people are in trouble, they come to me. I dont regret representing people and i did a good job for him. I got him a good deal. Some people think it was too good a deal. Complain about that but dont make up false charges against me and everybody else. People who make up false charges, the real victim are real rape victims because when there are claims like the ones made in Rolling Stone magazine or the Duke University lacrosse or the one against me which is even worse because i didnt even know the woman, the real victims are rape victims whose stories will be less believable. I hope people still believe, rape victims still believe. But this woman who made up this charge should be hated by every real rape victim for making their life much more difficult. Keep in touch with you on this. Wait to hear from you again. Thank you so much. Thank you. Chris. Jon, coming up we have a very special edition of the good stuff.
