Our coverage continues with cnns correspondent. Reporter first lets give you an idea of where we are, alisyn. This is one of the many makeshift camps that have sprung up among cat pan did you. These are all people simply put too afraid to go back home because of the potential for those aftershocks. The crowd you can see right there, theyre all waiting for food. Food and water being distributed here. This very much a population traumatized, still trying to cope with everything it has been through and so many people at this stage still remain missing. You were speaking of that dramatic video on Mount Everest. That also one of the key locations workers are desperately trying to reach. We actually meat helicopter pilot on our way in here at the airport who is describing how difficult of a task they had. First they are facing Severe Weather conditions difficult until today. Many say those who are trapped are trapped at camps one and two. The only way to reach them right now because of the damage caused by the earth quakes on an already treacherous part of the route is by helicopter. Throughout there entire country. People are still desperately trying to reach loved ones trying to dig through rubble and clenging to that very small hope that their relatives, their family members might still be alive, chris. Thank you all very much. Please keep us updated. We understand it is literally changing be i the hour. We certainly know the earthquake is reducing life in nepal to bare existence. Many homes and landmarks are rubble. Lets go to a nightf of nepal. Shelves there three weeks ago. She has this part of the story for us. I know this is hard for you on many levels but what is it like around you . Reporter well in the heart of kathmandu here. This is where all tourists come through kathmandu, a valley. This is the World Heritage site. You can see whats left of it really that behind me used to be a threestory boat for one of the main deitties here. We have been here the past five years. In the beginning, there were five or sex Police Personnel digging. Now, so many people have been joining in nepali volunteers theyre digging with their bare hands. Some of them have shovels. Some are using steel plates. Thats all they can find. They dont want to use heavy duty equipment at the moment. They dont want to cause further damage to the artifacts, really. This temple is from the 16th century, the one next to it from the 12th century. Every single part of this temple every single beam wooden beam these are carved. Anywhere else they would be in a museum. Here theyre a part of normal life. People go to every single temple here. There are sculptors inside where people worship and deitys. This is where buddha was born. People are deeply spiritual here. Everybody is talking about the massive loss of lives and peoples homes that have been destroyed. But within they come and see this whats left of their National Heritage something they are very proud of people completely shaken here. All right. So thank you very much. We will be checking back with you throughout the morning. Appreciate it. Now, International Aid is pouring no nepal from all over the world. We have more on helping the victims and i know ivan much of the challenges is getting that muchneeded aid to the people that node it. Reporter thats right, mikaela, lets first talk about where i am right now. This is in front of what used to be a sevenstory building that was basically fogged over and crushed, vehicles parked nearby. Right now, there are indian Disaster Management teams that are doing the hard work with picks, pickaxes with shovels, with a bull dozer and theyre digging through the rubble. We just saw within the last half hour the 28 victim pulled out from what had been a sevenstory building. Even more tragically when the earth mulligan to shake, there was a church on the fifth and sixth floors of this building and there was a Prayer Service under way. So it was packed with people at that time. So most of the victims here in fact are from the teeny christian minority here in nepal. The ma joefrt dozensmajority of the People Killed when the building came tumbling down. We saw rescue workers pulling out a cell phone, for example, and showing it to onlookers, so that they can perhaps identify a body. Perhaps give it to relatives of a loved one. This is a scene being played out all across the city. One of the indian rescue workers i have spoken to here. He says there are more than 15 teams from india alone operating in similar location digging through the rubble. Pulling out victims and sadly very few stories of survivors pulled from this. Earlier, we were at a scene of hindu cremations along with the temple and there were more than a dozen cremation funerals under way. More bodies more victims being brought in literally every 15 minutes and one of the workers there who was stoking the flames told me that 95 of the people that hes seen undergoing this funeral ceremony all victims of this terrible earthquake the worst this country has seen in generations. Back to you. Oh my gosh ivan we know those first 72 hours are critical to find survivors. We hope they can do that. Thank you for that. We want to bring in dr. Sanjay gupta live in kathmandu at a hospital helping to work on some of the victims. Sanjay can you hear us . Reporter i can hear you, alisyn. I am hat a hospital the largest hospital here in the city. It is a chaotic scene. I will tell you they are taking in hundreds of patients. They had a big influx right after the earthquake. What i was told then for several hours, they didnt have as many patients. That was probably during some of the rescue missions ivan was describing. There are ambulances coming in around this area. Theyve had to use the open area in front of the try yanl area. They came out akd and took patients as they needed to. Surgeons are going into a makeshift hospital room they was in a short time as well performing operations. They need more resources here right now. They are expecting many more patients as the missions go on. This ask one of three main hospitals here. As far as we can tell theyre bailey able to keep up right now. We are asking for anybody to try and pitch in. Obviously, we are doing that. We are just looking around here many poishtatients come in with crushing injuries they have what is known as compartment syndrome and they are brought in to prevent infection. They anticipate this obviously as you might imagine for several more days. At least an operation or two an hour now over the last 24 hours here. O my gosh sanjay we understand the hospital is overrun. You have shown us these pictures. They have more patients than they can aecom indicate which is why you jumped into action. Tell us about this little girl on screen that you performed brain surgery on. Reporter the little girls name is sell na. She is 8yearsold. She lives about an hourandahalf. Thats a part of the problem as well. I am sure you see these images alisyn they are remote areas. People who could not get care for 24 hours. They find these people trapped underneath the rubble. They have in this case this little girl who had rubble on her head. She had a compound fracture and a blood clot on her brain. Her brother developed significant fractures, essentially the entire house fell down as she was out getting water, doing work outside i was told when this all happened and as you heard, it was just a significant, significant amount of energy. It really troubled that entire neighborhood we are told. We are not sure about the whereabouts after her parents. It was her grandfather that brought her in. We are trying to locate other family members. This i am told alisyn is a rather common scenario. Just another ambulance is pulling in right now. Sometimes they come in taxicabs. Sometimes they come by foot. Sometimes theyre being kaerld by family members or friends, you dont know. This is a common scenario what we are seeing. Again, there was a little wall and people thought maybe the worst was over. When somebodys rescue missions were going on. Now those patients are all coming to these hospitals. Of course its a good news bad news scenario in that they are finding survivors, the hospital cant accommodate all the patients. How many do you think are there now, sanjay . I have been asking that question. Its so hard to tell. I will tell you there is a main hospital right next door where i am standing right now. That building is 120yearsold i am told. When the first earthquake happened people are frightened and they decided to evacuate that hospital obviously the patients. They brought them into this other smaller building. There are patients inside the building also many many patients outside as well. Its tough to really track how many there are. Then as these aftershock these tremors continue to happen. Each time they have to make a decision. Do they bring everybody thats inside outside again and keep in mind there are patients who are on breathing machines on ventilators. So its a big process each time. One of these aftershocks happens, to try to physical out if its a big aftershock how significant is it going to be how much do we evacuate again. There was a smaller tremor, a major one im sure yesterday registered about 6. 8. A very significant aftershock. Thats what theyre worried about. They are trying to do their work while simultaneous doing the aftershocks, obviously challenging enough with the situation, but even more so with these aftershocks, in the operating room i dont know if you seen much footage, are literally bringing in five lights to the operation. They didnt have electricity, drills everything had to be done by hand to remove a portion of the skull. Colombia operations. They didnt have the power to use caughterizations to stop the bleeding. Its primitive. Sterilizing your hands involves someone pouring saline water over your hands with iodine. I seen situation all over the world, alisyn. This is as bad currently as ive seen. Its really really challenge with the limited resources, limited staff and now another influx of patients. Oh my gosh sanjay you have really brought the tragedy there to life there. We know you have a Herculean Task you and the other doctors there. Thank you for taking time and, of course well check back in with you. Lets go over to chris. One of the reasons sanjay is saying this is as bad as you have seen is you have a disaster within the disaster going on. On the ground you have people starting to climb out of the rubble trying to get anywhere they can into the civilian centers where they can get help. Meanwhile, still on Mount Everest there are people trapped. Every time there is an aftershock that could mean an avalanche. Right now we have people trapped on the base camp in the tallest mountain in the world on the phone with us. Carsten peterson can you hear us . Reporter i can hear you. Please its so good to hear your voice. How are you . How are others there . What itself the situation . Reporter we are all good. We rescued all your team on the surface down from camp one and camp two and everybody is doing good. We had no injuries no fatalities everything is fine for our teach but for base camp and some of the other teams, it has been devastating. Devastateing meaning what . What have you snaerd what have you seen . Reporter well, some of the people who were trapped up on the mountain came down now to see the what remained of their camp and some camps have been completely wined out. Base camp is probably 500 tents around around 45 expeditions and some of them are gone they have been wiped out by the avalanche. We are hearing as many as 17 people lost their lives. What do you know about how many people are there, home you are looking for . Reporter we had the last official count here of body counts waiting to be choppered down with 14 bodies and we evacuated 50 people who were injured, some of them seriously. How difficult is it moving around up there . Obviously, you are dealing with just about a third of the oxygen you would have at sea level. How difficult, how challenging given the change now with all the snow and ice that came down . Reporter well we spent a lot of time getting up here. That is not an issue. If you fly up here you want to spend some time here will you have a hard time. But most of us have been here while, for more than a week. We are climatized. We are used to this. That is the least of our problems. What are the Biggest Challenges . Reporter phyte right now nepal has to figure out if its better for nepal if tourists flee the country and dont spend more dollars or if its better that the tourists stay. How about for you, carsten . What does it look like in terms of how long you will be will . Different ways you can get being down. Reporter well, i can get down if i want to. I dont know what im going to walk into when i get to kathmandu, but if there is a chance and if we want to i would think they must like to climb Mount Everest and some of my fellow climbers rescued off the mountain today they want to go back up. So people that you just pulled out of the snow and ice after everything that you have experienced are still considering whether or not to make the final ascent. What is that pull . Reporter yes, the biggest problem now is and, of course its devastating, we all understand that. That some of the families and houses have been damaged by the earthquake and if they want to go home of course they should go home. Nepal has to figure out. What about all the tourists . Is it good for nepal they are leaving or they spend dollars so nepal can build some currency to rebuild the country . Lets separate what you have lived through in the past what was it like up there to feel the initial affects of the earthquake and aftershocks . And are any still coming . Reporter well i was one of the i would say lucky ones. I just came down pretty quickly. I was in camp one and camp two before most of the other people. So i also came down before. I wasnt trapped up in camp one. I came down just as we when the earthquake happened in base camp and the after lan were came through base camp. I had to run for my life. Luckily, i was close to camp. I didnt make it but i hid behind a stone setting that is used here. A stone setting for religious purposes wound up being very meaningful for you. What was it like as the snow and conditions came down around you . Did you think you were going to make it. Reporter we panicked. When we first heard, we walked back to camp to our camp when we left camp one and the earthquake was so strong. We had to worry not to fall. Then the avalanche came it was so tall. You couldnt see the mountain anymore. We started running back to camp. The avalanche was so tall you couldnt see the top of Mount Everest anymore. This is one of those days reporter what we mostly see is you see mountains all around us but it was all just white, powder snow ice, rocks, thats what injured most people here is that the ice and the rocks and the debriss swept through base camp people try to outrun it. They got their rocks. Amazing all you dealt with up there. Still there are those among you thinking of making the final ascent. We will have the producer stay with you on the phone. Give us updates and let us know if people need their families contacted so Everybody Knows you all are okay up there. Those that made it through. Thank you. We lock forward to what you decide. Please stay safe. That has to come first, right . Reporter yep. We will. Thanks. All right. Carsten, be well. Imagine what he is saying there, the avalanche was so tall that they couldnt see the peaks of everest anymore. 29,000 feet up in the air and that subject to the sherpas and their needs, they may climb again. Hearing of that scene of the mixture of snow and ice and rocks. It was so powerful some people were blown off the mountain. Its not lost on any of us. The very thing that draws those climbers there is what caused those mountains to be imagesticmajestic anding to taking those lives. The worse is the high in the mountains of nepal. The need is great. Not just today, not just this week. You are just dealing with the immediate after effects. So please go to cnn. Com impact. Find out ways you can help. For weeks and months they will be dealing with need and disease in nepal. If there is not a ton of human and Material Support there right away. We have been telling you about this domestic scene. It triggered that avalanche. So will the earth stop shaking . Will all those aftershocks stop long enough for rescue teams to reach dozens of people still stranded on the mountain . People are shocked when we show them where theyre getting the acid and what those acids can do to the enamel. Theres only so much enamel on a tooth, and Everybody Needs to do something about it now if they want to preserve their teeth. I recommend pronamel because it helps strengthen the tooth and makes it more resistant to acid breakdown. We want to be healthy and strong through the course of our life and by using pronamel every day, just simply using it as your toothpaste, you know you will have that peace of mind.

People climbing out of the rubble and trying to find ways to give the medical attention and immediate needs required by so many thousands of people. Then you have the drama up above of everest, where there are a thousand people attempting to climb the largest mountain when that earthquake hit. Take a look at this video. It shows the moment when the base camp got hit. 17 people lost their lives. We have a climber who reached the summit of Mount Everest. With us right now. His name is he soloed it in 2011 which is a very difficult thing to do. He wrote a book called blind dissent. His name is brian dickinson. He will tell us about that mountain and the chances Going Forward. Also we have a relationship from one of the aide groups, a public director joining us from nepal and gary shea humanitarian director of operations. Hes with me in studio. Its great to have all of you here. The deal is great on every level. Brian what is it like right now for those people who are clinging together and honing to wait out the conditions . Reporter now, in everest, its difficult because this isnt anything anyone asked for. These are climbers. They have goals. As you can see, they have this drive to climb the highest mountain in the world. Out of nowhere this massive tragedy hits. Unlike last year when 16 sherpa lost their lives. That was an isolated incident. This year the whole country is wrecked and i think out of respect for the sherpa and the nepalese people you have to respect what they need and you know they need to get down and see if their vigils and families are safe and if they close the mountain for the year thats what they need to do. You need to kind of put your goals on hold at this point. I know when you are in the moment its difficult to take a step back and realize all of that. The ambition of wanting to climb is one thing. The ambition of wanting to survive a very different one. What are they doing right now . How long can they hold out if the conditions stay as they are now and theyre not able to get helicopters to some of these locations . What are the possibilities up there . So i heard today they are bringing a lot of people down from the higher camps, which is grit. Its very difficult. Its above 20,000 feet and if weather is not perfect, the pilots are feeling it that day, i mean you can only stay up there with so long. So you really have to take advantage of the weather windows. Its difficult because have you to be mentally tough. You are essentially cut off from the world. At the same time you have some of the best guides in the world up there, theyre trained in survival tactics. They have the gear you know fuel and food necessary to live for a week or a few weeks and to ration what they have and at that altitude you are to the overly hungry anyways. At the same time you have to keep your moral up and have faith that you are going to be rescued. You will be brought back down. Then you kind of evaluate when you are back at base camp. Well, i tell you, you know you are in a dire situation when being stranded on everest isnt the worst set of possibilities for something going on. Gary shea is in nepal right now. What are you seeing on the ground gary . What are the immediate needs . We are trying to get people to give right away and targeting it to what its mortgages status right now . So what are you seeing . Gary. Reporter this the brian. Brian, sorry, brad tell us what are you seeing on the ground there . What do you need right now . Reporter we are seeing children, a tremendous number of children for instance newborns with their families sleeping on the streets a in any open park they can find. The earthquake is over, the frequency of aftershocks are rising. We see people and tensions rise people worried about shelters to sleep n. Its rained last night. Its cold. I think the cold is the biggest concern. The children are out there consistent butteing tents and clean water and baby kits. Were asking for more support to continue their effort. Brad life is very fragile in a situation like this. Time matters. What are the things you need first and that you need most . Right now the best thing people can do is go to save the children. Org. Read about our response and make a donation. We have Nepalese Police as sanjay talked about, the feeling of injured. We feed right now is shelter for people to sleep underneath food and clean water and thinking of the well being of children. Right now, they are very traumatized. They see in the foreseeable future for the coming months and even years. Months and years. Brad please stay safe on the ground. Stay in contact about what you need to get the word out. Gary. People see it rye out. They want to help right now. But this really is just the beginning. The aftershocks that we have to worry about are what happens to life there and the faraj franl fragility of life to come. All of the people displaced, temporary shelter, plastic sheeting may be Strong Enough now. In six weeks when the rains start, it will be extremely challenging. The water challenges for kathmandu are a huge issue, setting up washing stations. What we dont know is the situation of the epicenters tools save the children has been on the ground in nepal since 1976. We have a strong network. There is tremendous Cooperation Among the International Community. But we have to set up the supply klain to make sure the current people have what they need and then start to rebuild nepal as we await news from those communities that when havent heard from yet. They are dealing with something they havent seen in centuries there with. It is a part of our responsibility let us know what is needed in the days weeks, monthss ahead. We are sure to get the word out. Brian, thank you very much. Also few hear anything about what is going on up there. Let us know. We already said goodbye to brad.

Back to the crisis unfolding in nepal. A 7. 8 magnitude earthquake killing several people. Nearly 100 aftershocks hampering rescue efforts at this hour. At least 17 people also killed by a massive avalanche in Mount Everest. Where are still on that mountain. Lets go to dr. Sanjay gupta live in a hospital in kathmandu, nepal. Sanjay tell us the scene there. Reporter it is a sort of makeshift situation, alisyn. I think its the best way to describe it. I dont know how much can you tell behind me but this really wasnt an open hospital a couple days ago. They brought patients in. You can hear a helicopter overhead. By the way, they are doing air lifts, bringing patients to the hospital here. Pretty constantly. Patients and many others sort of lined up out here waiting oftentimes to be scene. Sometimes these are family members waiting for family members inside being treated. Undergoing surgery. Its just sort of hard to describe what is happening. They continuously bring in supplies from various other places. Patients come in in all sorts of different ways by helicopter. By ambulance, by taxi. Sometimes carried in by friends and family. Its a part of whats happening here behind me. I dont know how much you can see behind me alisyn. You got the stretchers and everything sort of in the distance. People waiting outside. Just a couple floors up. There is a balcony, which is not covered, not protected. There may be anywhere up to 100 patients out there as well inside those doors is where a lot of medical triage is just happening. This is whats going on over here. Its the lobby of a building literally, its one of the safer buildings, which is why its being used. This building is told they can withstand an earthquake up to 9. 0 magnitude. You are looking at some of this footage, alisyn. Thats been sort of ongoing now for 48 hours. Sanjay we know you were called into action there because there were not enough doctors to go around. Can you characterize the injuries of a little girl you worked on. I know there was mortgages brain surgery and what other injuries are you seeing . Reporter you know the types of injuries that we are seeing here really are a result of significant crush injuries from the earthquake. Homes tumbling to the ground. Some of the homes, especially in remote areas made of concrete. They tumbled. They literally fell to the grounds during all this a little girl we saw earlier, sell narcs shes 8yearsold. She lives there a remote area. Its tough to see the buildings the rocks sort of fell on her head. She had a Skull Fracture with a blood collection underneath that Skull Fracture. Her parents whereabouts are not known. Her brother is injured. She requires an operation. One of the other doctors walked by before this who said another 8yearold girl same age girl is coming in for another operation. They have been operating nonstop. The conditions are fought at all ideal. They dont have operating room lights. Theyre bringing in sort of side lamps. They dont have power for the drills they dont have machines to caughtterrize for bleeding. There is a generous spirit. Everyone is pitching in. So many volunteers. They have not left. They have been here two days. We saw earlier a water distribution. People who havent had water themselves handing it out to others they thought needed it more. There is that spirit. Its hard to describe but its real and you see it in so many ways and certainly a lot is happening in this building right here behind me. Sanjay to hear you say this is as bad as you have ever seen really puts a fine point on it because you are no stranger obviously to crisis zones. We are thinking of the work you did in haiti. How does this compare . Reporter well you know its interesting. I think one thing to keep in mind in haiti, you know you had hundreds of thousands of people who died so quickly and tragically sadly, there werent that many survivors, there werent that many that could be saved. There were some. Here you have a slightly different situation, you have people who didnt die, they didnt live either. Theyre trapped in between. Theyre brought here. So the demand for resources and care and all sorts of different help is tremendous in some ways higher despite the fact the death stole lower than we saw in haiti, there are many people still saveable. Their lives can be saved. Thats whats happening here. So you know you are used to situations where people have either lived or theyve died. The people who lived, they are the walking wounded. They are okay. They dont need operation, here its different situations they are live and its tenuous. Theyre on the edge. Thats a part of the reason these hospitals are becoming so busy. I will tell you, there was a lull in the number of patients that came in over the past few hours, the ambulance started to come in. People bringing in their loved ones by any means that they can alisyn. Sanjay we know you have an intense day ahead of you. We will check in with you later in the program. Thanks so much. Mikaela. All right. We will have moral sin on the devastation in nepal. First, the city of baltimore is boiling over after a weekend of violence. The family of freddie gray today prepares to bury freddie. Are we any closer to finding out how that man died in Police Custody . If you struggle with type 2 diabetes youre certainly not alone.

Its time. Lower your blood sugar with invokana®. Imagine loving your numbers. Theres only one invokana®. Ask your doctor about it by name. In Baltimore Freddie gray will be called to rest today. His family calling for calm. Many are outraged because there is still no information about how his spine was severed taken into custody. Joining us is mary cook the attorney for the gray family. Thank you for joining us on this important day, probably arguably the hardest day for freddies family. How are they bearing out . Reporter they are still devastated and theyre still grieving. I think to the extent you can get consolation from the fact that so many people have come to embrace them and to express their sorrow that helps. I dont know what you do when you lose a 25yearold under these circumstances. I dont either. Its absolutely devastating. I dont either. We were watching the peaceful protests turning violent. Does the family have a concern the message of the protest is going to be lost . And that its going to be more about the protest rather than the life and the legacy of freddie gray. Reporter absolutely. First and foremost for the family is that they lost freddie and they want today to be a day to remember freddie. Sometimes we forgive in all of the other issues that surround a situation like this we forget that at the center of all of this was a human being and a human being loved by his family and who lived and loved actually and we forget that. They want today to be a day when everyone remembers that this is a day to honor freddie gray. They want people to be respectful of that and mindful of that and understand how important that is to them. And to everyone else that has faced this situation. Thousands will be there to pay their respects. It will be wonderful support for the family. Lets turn to the investigation, mary few will. Are you getting anything getting 81 dates from the police . Have you garnered any more information . I know you have been after the medical records from the day he was admitted to the hospital. Have you had any success in that . Reporter no we have not received any of them. We have not received any of the medical records. The problem the issue is in fairness to the hospital is a 30day policy in place for release of the medical record. Thats because there are very many doctors who are involved in the treatment and all of those doctors have to sign off on the charts. So its a process and its not a quick process. So no we have fought received those. Obviously, we need to es to reconcile with anything found on autopsy. We appreciate you saying that. These things do take time as does the investigation as does an autopsy. I understand too, the family is having an independent autopsy done. What is the status of that at this point . Well we have completed what i would refer to i dont mean to say this to be abrupt or rude. Phase one of that process. We receive the body after the medical examiner obviously had completed their autopsy. We dont have the notes or the photographs that the medical examiner took at the time of their autopsy. So we have had the opportunity to examine freddies remains and to do our part. There are still issues because the brain and the spinal chord unfortunately take a while before they can be examined. They have to be processed in a certain way. And so until that happens, we wont be able get any final reports and then again, that has to be reconciled the medical records as well. Well on this day we put all of that aside. We hope the family is feeling the support from the community. I am glad you are there. I am glad they have the clergy there on a difficult day when they lay her to son to rest. We appreciate you talking to us. Well talk again this week. Im sure. Reporter thank you so much. Thank you so much and thank you for the family for being so mindsful of the loss of their son. Absolutely. Mary. Chris. Bruce jenner his transgender story is setting records on tv and online. What difference does it make . We have two People Living his reality. What they say is coming and the passionate critics. The keys to this home belong to mark and alissa anderson. They bought the place four months ago on what was arguably the scariest day of their lives. Neither has any idea what the future holds for them. But they bought into a 30year mortgage anyway. That was bold. They must really believe in themselves. For all intents and purposes i am a woman. People look at me differently. They see you as this macho male. It is a part of me. That female side is part of me. Thats who i am. Bruce jenner was known as one of the most dominant athletes in our countrys history, now he wants to be known as something else. Confirming to diane sawyer what many have long suspected and becoming overnight the most famous transgender person in the world. He started a conversation where will it go is our conversation this morning. We have two guest, joining us two transgender advocates, and actress jocelyn defrees who stars in the independent film carla. Great to have both of you. What did you . I think it was really touching. I really liked the care that diane sawyer put into it. I loved the emotion that was expressed. It touched me. I think it was powerful. There was so much compassion and loving. Especially the family dynamics. Hearing from his kids and how they support him. So important. Most of the case we hear a lot of these cases, its not like that. So to show the empathy and compassion and love this is a transition not just for bruce jenner but the whole family and community that is surrounded with. What have you done . You both felt it personally. In terms of the transgender community. What kind of flag bearer is he going to be . I think this is so important for visibility. You know to finally humanize this experience. To touch into so many nuance about what it means to be transand to go through the many nuance of the journey, most importantly to point out, like disability is not, its not the same as equality. There are so many other things. We also need to point out bruce jenner is a person of wealth. Its not going to be the same for every story. Very important things to point out. One of the things is the obviously is rejection. This is also embidening critics. You have both lived your journey different ways. Gina you decided to come out. Nobody exposed you. Exeposed. You reassigned at 19. What was the fear what was the reality . There was a time i was ready. There is this self determination. Its important to point out. We need to create culture and policies and people are allowed to have a save space to be their most authentic self. Policy and culture needs to reflect. That i am from the philipines i benefitted from the culture that is culturally invisible to be trans. So people know what it means to be trans. But we need to go deeper into the layers the person is going to access to health, discrimination violence and discrimination that happens with the the transgender population. We have never seen anything before its a transgender person telling the story of a journey, even though its not her own. But the quiet moments. The pain that person has to deal with inside and around them. How real is that . Oh its absolutely real. I think one of the most important things is that although carlas story is not my story. I have a very different story. It is important to know the internal struggle. Thats what i really i was so grateful to the director and working with the amazing laverne cox and mark margolis. These people really, theyp wanted to share something powerful. Not everyone is comfortable with what bruce jenner has to say. There has been some push back. Wendy williams, a day time talk show host st she was not comfortable with it. Im not sure i have the sound. Ill play it for you what she had to say about this. You know im all for and very happy for anybody who lives in their own truth, including bruce transitioning. But he should have thought about that before having all the kids like you got kids to explain to. You cant tell me kylie is not the only one not going along with this. Belinda, shame on you. Because you have kids that now have to endure this. What do you think is jocelyn . I think thats absolutely wrong. I think that everyone has families. Everyone has their own story and how long it takes someone to accept themselves and go through that internal struggle. No one can judge that. There is no textbook for this . This is an identity thats happening within a globally interconnected world. People are coming into this per ception, this is something new for them. But transgender for the longest time. Maybe its coming as such a new thing. We need to have this deeper conversation. Systems that would allow people to be themselves and actually understand that gender is not a binary. Its a spectrum. We should have this understanding the earliest the better. For kids to understand that. A real debate about what is right to judge and what isnt . Legally, culturally. Its all coming out now. Lets not judge. That would be nice. I dont think were there yet. Its great to have you both. Good luck Going Forward. Good luck with the movement. All right. Bruce jenner is a big story. No question about it. But a lot of news, we will take you to nepal. Lets get to it. A third day of search and rescue operations under way after saturdays 7. 8 magnitude earthquake. The road infrastructures have been totally wiped out. I feel the ground is shaking. These are all people simply put too afraid to go back home. It used to be a threestory temple. The worst this country has seen in generations. Dr. Sanjay gupta, you have jumped into action. The hospital definitely sheltered patients. This is new day with chris kwoernlgs Alisyn Camerota and mikaela pereira. Good morning, everyone, well cam back to your new day. 80s in nepal, a 7. 8 magnitude earthquake. The aftershock versus still coming. Theyre triggering massive landslides. Rescue teams are unable to reach thousands of stranded villagers. We den know whats going on around kathmandu. Many are feared buried alive. We will tap into the Global Resources of cnn and bring you the most complete coverage of this zerp. Lets start with the chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. As happened many times for you sanjay you went there as a journalist. You were first and foremost a doctor you did have to lay your hands on somebody to try to make a difference. Whats the situation . Reporter exactly right, chris, when you are in these situations oftentimes there is a greater demand for care than there is supply. Whether it be resources, personnel . And thats the case here as well. You can get a little of an idea. We are in the sort of dry area of a building that wasnt actually functioning at the hospital. This has become a hospital because there has been such tremendous demand. You can see people who are lined up. There have been ambulances that have come in from time to time. Taxicabs. There was an 8yearold girl who needed an operation. There was just such demand 40 to 50 neurosurgical patients in this particular area. Mr. Of them outside. I dont know if you can see this. Ethey gave permission to show this scan here. Take a quick look a. This is a cat scan its a big plus and over here just this may be more than you can see. But that white area over there. Thats the blood collection. Its called an epidural hematoma. Its basically bleeding on top of the brain. If not treated, that can lead to someone dying or having significant neurological problems. The operation we were doing to remove that blood collection. Again, they asked many tow help anybody to roll up their sleeves and help because of the tremendous demand right now, chris. Sanjay thank you very much. We know you have important work on the ground. Stay looped news. Alisyn. Well that 7. 8 magnitude earthquake rocking nepal and killing at least 17 people there. More than 150 people are still on the mountain at this hour. Our coverage continues in kathmandu with cnns Senior International correspondent. Whats the scene . Reporter well this is where we are right now. This is one of the many makeshift camps that has sprung up throughout the come and these are people simply put too afraid of the potential aftershocks to go back home. They have been living here since the earthquake first hit, running out with basically just the clothes that they could carry. They are receiving some food water handouts. But it is in pretty short supply. There was around announcement warning people about the need to stay clean. Imagine the sanitation problems this causes the potential for disease and many more people. We saw them throughout the capital trying to dig their loved ones out of the rubble. That search and rescue effort very much ongoing here ongoing throughout the country and, of course ongoing at Mount Everest. Very dramatic horrifying video of that avalanche that really is absolutely chilling. At least as you were saying 17 people so far dead. The rescue effort very challenging. It has to be conducted by helicopter only. According to a helicopter pilot that we met at the airport, camps one and two are where many people are currently stranded and the terrain, the path to reach them in best of times is a very difficult one to navigate and because of the avalanche the earthquake damage done at this stage can only happen by helicopter and that had been hindered up until now by the weather for so many throughout the country at this stage, still such a sense of uncertainty. Many people still looking for their loved ones chris. In many ways they are the danger. The enemy is time. Please kep us loopkeep us looped in. Life in this area is never going to be the same. This isnt just a spirit clul destination. More talking about nepal. It is a home. A native of nepal joins us from kathmandu. How are your loved ones and what are you seeing around you . Reporter we are in the center of the kathmandu. Its a Tourist Destination. People come here because of the Cultural Heritage of this area. Behind me you can see nepali police. You can see volunteers the nepali volunteers sifting through the rubble with their bare hands. Some are using steel plates because they dont have anything else. They say theyre not using heavy duty material or equipment here because they dont want to cause further damage to what is, what are priceless objects. This used to be a threestory pagodastyle temple. Dedicated to the hindu. This is dating back to the 16th century. Adjacent to that also in complete ruvenlt other temples to the hindu gods there are six or eight temples here dating from the 12th century to the 18th century in complete ruins. People are amazed. They are too scared to go back to their homes because of the continuous aftershocks. They are sort of hanging around here looking at the complete loss of their National Heritage has people have been saying centuries of history lost in just moments. Back to you. All right. I can imagine, theyre only in a state of shock at this point. Nepal is now facing rather a major humanitarian crisis here. International aid, though is starting to pour in. We want to turn to our Senior International correspondent in kathmandu. Quite a scene of devstakes around you. Report. Well im in front of what was the tallest building in this neighborhood mikaela. A 7story building where you can see the being ho at work digging through the rubble. These are Indian National Disaster Response teams, an example of some of the International Aid thats come in. One of their representatives here say there are at least 15 teams from India Working at other locations around here. Now, this is particularly traj this location bus on the fifth and sixth floor of this building there was a church and when the earth mulligan to shake in kathmandu, there was a Prayer Service under way. So dozens of people were trapped and killed while in prayer in this church when the building was quite literally toppled over. You can see behind me here. There is a sad pile of personal belongings behind these Nepalese Police officers there. A guitar a fuel drum a bible piled on top of them. We watched some of the recovery workers brigg out a cell phone of a woman. It looked like about an hourandahalf ago as they brought out the 28th body from this pile of rubble and they were trying to show the cell phone to people so that somebody could perhaps identify it to return it to loved ones. And this is a scene that is likely being played out in other parts of the city. In other parts of this impoverished country in the wake of the deadliest earthquake that has hit this country in generations. Back to you. All right. Ivan thank you very much. We are staying away from numbers. Its too early. As you know very well the situation gets worse from here not better. We want to bring in some per picturetive the foundered and ceo of cobalt expedition tools. Two of his employees are currently missing. You have a very strong personal tie to this. You have been to everest. You believe you had your life saved by someone who is now done. Tell us about it. We climbed Mount Everest twice. My wife and i met climbing everest. We cloimd with two sherpas. In 20 ten. We returned again. My wife was pronounced dead after we reached the summit that year by a medical doctor. What happens . She asphyxiated. She was basically coughing so hard she was coughing up the lining of her lungs and because her air pipe was swollen, it clocked her air pipe so she died. Shelves pronounced dead by a medical doctor. Very sorry. Well, shes alive because five minutes after she was pronounced dead two sherpa raced to our tent and administered adrenaline and steroids the only she is with us and not brain dead. Because the men know what to do in the moment . Yes. Absolutely. It was also minus 40 degrees. So she survived. Now these guys are missing. We brought them to america for a year to teach them how to make watches. Im a watch maker. We set up a country and invested about 200,000. That company is now destroyed as is their home, everyone we employed. It started out as a venture journey. It became much more than husband and wife these men are like family to you, theyre more than business partners. What is your best sense of where they were and what might be happening . We know one is in the area treking. We dont know what exactly happened with him. But ive just been told that he is alive. I have not spoken to him directly. The other one. You will take that as a miracle just the possibility . The problem with this is chris, there are so much conflicting information. In the heat of the moment. A lot of stuff comes out. Right now this is the latest news he has been trying to make contact. The other one is on everest and unfortunately, there is no word from him. We den know what happened. We hope for the best. We dont know. Give us a sense of how desperate the situation will be for those on the mountain. Ironically it seems they were in better situations than those on the ground. What will they be dealing with in both circumstances . The trouble is there is no more supply klain up to everest and higher camps. What you have is usually a lot of food and water and provisions based at base camp. It gets carried up the mountain. Few are at the top of the mountain or near the top camp one through four i believe theyre at camp one and two right now. The icefall gets devastated. Which is what happened. You are cut off. So these people have gone up there thinking they would be up there for a day maybe two. They have been up there for two already. Its the section between base camp and camps one and two we keep hearing about . Correct. The avalanche stabilized that. Its not easy to transport. You continued go up or down. We heard from one of the climbers theyre thinking of maybe makening an ascent. Part of that calculation is theyre worried about being worse if they go back down to kathmandu. How bad do you think it can get in that city . It is pretty bad already. Its going to get much worse. Because the roads are not in very good condition. At the airport, i just spoke to the head of the civilian aviation board. Although its functional. Theyre having issues with all sorts of logistics. So the supply isnt getting in. The rescuers arent getting in. Search and rescue teams arent getting in as much as they like. There is trickle downesque, of course over the next few days it will be dire. As that continues, it compounds the problem. Its so rich thats how we know it. In many other ways it is very poor. The infrastructure there, the government situation in china is very fragile as well. What do you think the challenges are Going Forward . The challenges are to rebuild this country and that is a big challenge because as you correctly pointed out the government isnt always effective as it is unlike in the united nations, its sometimes not effective. By there, its dysfunctional is pedestrians the best word. The biggest chal is rebuilding it. There is so much graft and corruption that its sometimes hard to get anything done. So what we have done is we founded an organization incidentally the soleway foundation. That was set up to actually construct earthquake proof hospital and First Responder station. We would administer that. We have a u. S. Ambassador who will be retiring to run that organization. You have already set this up. Two weeks ago. What is it called . These will be necessary, these are emergency equipment for fire and rescue . Soarway. You can give money there. This will be administered by you and the Foundation Set up to get these resources as quickly as possible . We are also driving fire trucks to kathmandu. That i have 500 has beentant. Until this earthquake struck they only had five fire engines. We are driving 23re78 them from calcutta where we are shipping them too over the foothills to kathmandu. We have been planning this for four. 5 years. Now this has struck our desire is to get this done more quickly and efficiently. We are working with all sorts of people in the government of nepal and the state department to make that happen. Thank you for helping us understand how hard this will be. Your wife made it through conditions because of these men. I know this affects you so emotionally. I know there are so many people that wont be as lucky as she was. Good luck. We are telling the story this way. This is the reality. I know it looks like the worse is the over because the earthquakes have stopped. The conditions on the ground are as bad as ansanjay has seen. Find out ways on c in n. Com to help today and in the future. What a tremendous story and a connection to what is going on right there right now. Lets get a look at the other headlines at this hour secretary of state john kerry, iranian foreman will meet on the side lines in than in ork city. They are attending a nuclear conference. They are expected to get together to following to follow up. They will meet with prime ministers in egypt and jordan today. Former president george w. Bush letting loose with his most pointed criticism yet of his successor in what was said to be a closed door meeting of jewish donors in las vegas.

Problem has made a point of rarely criticized him in public. Freddie gray died after suffering a severe spinal injury while in Police Custody. There has been outrage over grays death.

An avalanche triggered by the quake killed 17 and left many more stranded on the mountain. An american jim daifd davison. He is at base camp. Jim, can you hear me . Reporter yes, i can. Tell us the scene where you are. Reporter well, right now, im back at the everest space camp. Its about 17,000 feet. We have fortunate weather today. Its cleared off. You see a lot of helicopters. We got everybody off the upper mountains from camp two and camp one, we have been spending the past few days. Jim, tell us about the moment of the earthquake and the avalanche is followed. Did you were you witnessing that . Did you experience it . Reporter i was at the camp with my team nates at 19,800 feet. We heard a loud roar to our left. You couldnt see the avalanche because it was cloudy. At first we thought it was just a snow avalanche. Then the whole camp was disturbed about six inches and it was something very wrong going on. We started to bour out of our tents with a second avalanche. Then we powered out of our tents and there was nowhere for us to run. We were surrounded on threeandahalf sides and three avalanches pouring down onto the glacier we were on. Fortunately, it did not. That mulligan our time of stuck up there at camp one. Oh my gosh jim thats terrifying. Tell us what was happening with you and your teammates while you were experiencing that. Reporter well, we were inside the tent and we realized the avalanche was coming our way. They said what do we do . I said grab your coat and allowed us to be a little warmer. When i came out of the tent they were really getting clouded on both side i and my teammates reported we all thought this was probably it. We survived the first one. We were nervous over that 40 hours as there were motor tremor more tremors and we were saved. Jim, are you at the Mountain Base camp. Are you going to come down . Going to summit . Whats the plan . Caller well we are, my team are going to fwloi down on helicopters today from camp one and camp two. So everybody is off the upper slopes of the mountain. They are back down at base camp now. And there is no way to summit Mount Everest this year because in the ice fall the steepest part of the lower part of the tent a lot of loops and ladders, its all collapsed. At least 17 people arrived from base camp. Everyone is Walking Around in a state of shock. Unfortunately, that means we will take care of the people and the fatalities. Yeah. Jim, we are happy that you and your teammates survived this ordeal thanks, for taking to time to talk to us. Thank you very much. We wish the best of luck to you. Absolutely. Best of luck to you, too, in getting off that helicopter today. Thank you. Well analysts have been expecting this earthquake of this magnitude in nepal for years. Was nepal prepared for the devastation we are seeing . Joining us is the nepali ambassador from the nepalese nation. Thank you for being here. This is your home country. We are so sorry for what your friends and loved ones have been experiencing. Have you been able contact your loved ones and relatives . Yes. How are they . Its ruined but its a matter of up a all nepalese people. They are in a very difficult situation now. Absolutely. As we have been saying. Scientists had predicted. After there was a massive earthquake 81 years ago in nepal. 10,000 People Killed. Scientists after that calculated after about every 75 years, a big earthquake would hit nepal because of shifting plates. So it was overdue. After that earthquake or more recently was nepal taking steps to better sort of retrofit buildings and protect against the inevitable . We are trying to the our best for this earthquake and everything but still our preparedness is not that very much aware. The preparedness is not that good because nepal cant afford it . Is there anything the nepalese people could go to protect themselves better . Yes. There are some. But still we need some good infrastructures, good plan Good Services technologies that we can alert them make them aware of this you know after a disaster taking place, also we can do a lot, but still we are lagging very behind to rescue them to serve. What about schools . Are schools strong if you have there . What about hospitals . New infrastructures, yeah they are Strong Enough. But still this kind of massive disaster you never know. But all building they have been what we are seeing today is that because these houses some of the houses have just crumbled and people there are in droves and droves of people who are now living on the streets. They cant go back into their homes. I mean we had sanjay gupta at a hospital there. He says there arent enough doctors to accommodate all the wounded coming in. The wounded are coming in with compound fractures from buildings having fallen on them. Something, i mean if nepal is going to experience an earthquake every 75 years, something has to change. Definitely. We need the country default for this kind of disaster. We know nepalese is vulnerable to these kind of disaster. We need more preparedness. This time we need to think about this letter. This time we need to focus on the rescue release and the reality of the victims of the earthquake. So its still there is lack of the support to the nededy people. We saw them rescue you know we need a lot of support at this time. Yes. People can of course go to cnn. Com to see how to support the people of nepal. Thank you so much for coming in. We are happy to hear your loved ones are okay this morning. Lets go to mikaela. Thank you very much. So the world now rushes to the aid of people in earthquaketorn nepal. That includes our own dr. Sanjay gupta. He just performed brain surgery on a young survivor. We will speak with sanjay next. Boys . Stop less. Go more. The passat tdi clean diesel with up to 814 hwy miles per tank.

The latest on the growing crisis in nepal. 3700 is an early estimate of the lives lost. That death toll is expected to rise. Saturdays quake and dozens of damaging aftershocks are making it impossible for search and rescue teams to reach the thousands who may be strand or even trapped. An avalanche at Mount Everest leaving 150 people stranded on that mountain. We have the latest from chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta live in a hospital in kathmandu. Tell us what else are you learning sanjay. Reporter well you know one of the situations is that because of these aftershocks, mikaela, it makes it challenging to be in buildings. More so hospitals. One of the main buildings is 120yearsold. Shortly after the earthquake they moved many of them into this building behind me. It not a big enough building to handle all those patients. There is a lot of overcrowding patients upstairs on balconies in a small operation room. They dont have adequate operating lights. They dont have enough electricity to power some of the instruments to cauterize bleeding. So thats a situation ongoing here. I can tell you in the break a couple minutes ago, one of the doctors came out and said they had five more neurosurgical brain officers they will need to do just in the next few hours. So there is a tremendous demand here mikaela, not enough supply either resources or personnel. Patients keep coming in they come in waves as it turns out, we see the demand is outpacing the supply. It seems you will see less on tv and they will need you in the area. You spoke to the president of nepal. What did he have to say . Reporter he hasnt talked to the media. I asked him a question. He was touring the hospital over here coming to see the injured. I asked him, simply is nepal able to take care of the injured . And what he said you know look this has been a big calamity. Its obviously a huge tragedy. Right now theyre in dire straights, but theyre relying on the International Community for help. He was thankful to the International Community. He was moving fast and getting out to do as much as he can acknowledging the fact that International Relief is necessary and he is very thankful for it at this time mikaela. Sanjay thank you so much. We will be checking back in with you when we can, obviously. Mikaela, we want to get back to our breaking news in a moment. Lets go to inside mix on new day with john king. Good morning, alisyn. God bless the doctors in nepal. Quickly, lets go inside politics with me to show the reporting insights jackie can i sin kucinich and jackie. There is a big moment with bill clinton and the russian and uranium sales taking big money from a kremlinlinked bank. The Clinton Foundation this morning not getting into the details, saying yes, we are acting quickly to remedy them. We are committed to continue the life changing work that this philanthropy is doing every day. How big of a problem is this for the Hillary Clinton president ial campaign, they find sthauf at least without a doubt has a clear perception problems . Thats exactly what it is. Peter sweitzer says this weekend there is nothing illegal here. Its the appearance of impropriety that will keep dogging them. You have to ask the question why were the books looked at before she was running for president . She knew she was running for two years. You wonder why that wasnt done . You wonder why some of the action some of the things were done. They go after. Mr. Skwiez mr. Sweitzer is skeptical. Bill clinton took 500 at a bank at the time they were involved in the deal and the russian uranium deal was on the table. So just saying you know this was unearthed by a conservative isnt good enough. The news media should be digging into these things. Its one of the easiest stories to tell. A country wanted this outcome, country a gave a fortune to the Clinton Foundation and the the outcome they wanted occurred. There are no smoking guns. Its a pretty tough narrative t. Clinton campaign is out there saying this is bogus, she wasnt the only decision maker. Especially if you know your spouse is going to run or likely to run for president you would think he has a higher bar there. The question is does she pay a political price. So far the governor hasnt gone there. He questions her leadership. The new guy to the democratic race used to be republican. Then he was an independent. Now he says hes a democrat. In South Carolina over the weekend, he went there. You want to see someone who hasnt had scandal after scandal after scandal. I never had an ethicle blemish. Hes right with a new democrat. With a democrat saying this can he get traction with that . I think you know someone like a Bernie Sanders. He is not the only democrat starting to say these things. Definitely there is a window there. The door is opened. Speaking of Bernie Sanders. He will get into the race and join Hillary Clintonment Bernie Sanders, we are told will get in in a matter of days. He is focused on nick things. He thinks she is great. She would be a good president. He thinks she is a little too close to wall street. They may have the money. We got the people. Our job is to educate, to organize and say enough is enough. America does not belong to the billionaire class. It belongs to all of us. I dont know that Bernie Sanders can beat Hillary Clinton in the democratic primary. He likes debates. Hes a feisty guy. He will give them somerset fits. He is an independent from vermont. This is a recurring criticism of the Clinton Administration. Right. Were too close to wall street and if and i do believe this if you think the 2016 election argument is going to turn on inequality as well this is a powerful argument. Its been made before. There is a very large audience inside the Democratic Party that is predisposed to believing this about the clintons. She seems to understand that. In the Des Moines Register she addresses it again. She has been heaping praise Hillary Clinton seems to know thats the argument coming. Lets shift to the republican side. We talked about ted cruz two nongay business events in. It was not a fundraiser it was called a fireside chat. Ted cruz said he believes he should not have same sex marriage. The states should make a decision. He said people should fall to their knees and pray while these businessmen feel a back lash. Im shaken to my bones by the emails, tex, postings and phone calls of the past few day, i made a terrible mistake i. Was ignorant naive and much too quick in accepting a request to cohost a concern at my home with ted cruz. I think cruz has gone out of his way in more conservative terms. Hes worried about the aimportance to his base. So i think, yeah i think everybody loses when it comes to that meeting in this particular case. Interesting. The business was threatened. These guys run the hotels so friendly to the gay community. This is a quick realization, my Search Engine typing a few words could have convinced him. He has no idea. I guess its possible. Theyve talked about this. It got a lot of attention in social media in the clout of the economic clout of the people leading this backlash cant be denied. We will follow this as it goes forward. Alisyn the New York Post story if you havent read it this morning, that says in the relative new future you might have a new preacher in town. President obama after he goes may want to go to colombia. Interesting, we should start booking that right now. Thanks so much for that. We are getting back to our breaking coverage of the devastating earthquake in knell nepal. We will be talking about the science of predicting quakes. What the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. 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. When cigarette cravings hit, all i can think about is getting relief. Nicorette mini starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. Anytime. Anywhere. I never know when ill need relief. Thats why i choose nicorette mini. We want to take a look at the quake that has decimated nepal. What makes this part of the world particularly vulnerable to earthquakes, here to walk us through the science channel, so glad to have you here under these circumstances, boy, that is chilling. How significant is that in this area compared to other earthquakes they have seen . Earthquakes are measured by a 7 to an sh8gs thats a factor of 32 tiles more energy. In this case if you compare it to the Haiti Earthquake which was a magnitude 7 or about this is an 8, if you were to increase it by 2 say from 7 to 9, that would be a thousand times more energies released. With the terrain and building codes not being up to par in that area of the world. Looking at the map, too, we know that this subsequently all of these aftershocks have been particularly devastating as well. Are you anticipating more . Correct. Yes. Invarably. We have the earth addressing after a major quake. On top of that lets talk about what this area the depth was quite shallow. Correct. 7 to 9 kilometers . Miles, deep. The terrain play as part in that as well. What is the terrain like there . Correct. Its not only the terrain, so you have the indian tech on theic plate sort of pushing up wards to the most on the youre asia plate euroasia plate. It causes the himalayas to go off. It actually forms the himalayas. Interesting. Which these plates are thrashing against each other. They move about 45 millimeters every year. They are constantly pushing on each other. At one point this happens in that region every 75 years or so the thrust is so hard that the indent plates are pushed too much and the energy gets released. And what is so theyre saying that it essentially moved the city of kathmandu by Something Like ten miles. Oh you mean correct . Thats insane. Incredible. My goodness. Heres the other thing that you were talking to me about this particular region. The area where there fault line is you sa i this is particularly problematic because of . There is a highway thats built very near the fault lines, so where people tend to live is near that fault line. Thus the high casualty rate. Also we have to understand in physics we call resonance when the frequency of oscillations in an earthquake tend to match the frequencies that are natural to that terrain and what happened is for example, i grew up in mexico city and the earthquake there was devastating. The natural frequency only served selected buildings from six to 15 stories high and those were the ones that were damaged. But at least that were lower or higher than that were not damaged as much and this terrain tended to oscillate in the natural frequency that devastated all those low stories. Finally. We have three seconds left. Each earthquake has its own personality. How it reacts the building and the codes around it. Is there somewhere we will see this earthquake devastation potentially again around the world . Its a great question. We are researching and a lot of other scientists trying to figure out and Getting Better and better at predicting earthquakes, forecasting with probabilities the only thing we can do at the moment. What a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for being here and walking us through the science. No question mik. We have to understand the human thats that trophy on the ground. There is human catastrophe on the ground. We will tell you how you can help.

Nepal affecting so many different aspects of life. What are the early estimates of the damage . On a personal scale you cant put a price tag on it but theres going to need a lot of International Financial help to rebuild the economy and infrastructure of this country. Today, right now, this morning, the three priorities are shelter first, then first aid, and then telecommunications to get in there so they can start to talk to each other. Then comes reconstruction. Total cost could top 5 billion according to Research Firm ihs. Thats 20 of the countrys gdp. Its economic output. Thats a huge share. Early estimate in my experience early estimates like this often go much much higher. Now one of the reasons the damage was so devastating, the standard of Housing Construction very low. Annual gdp per capita about 1,000 just 1,000. Most families live in poverty. Tourism, one driver of the economy, foreign climbers pay up to 100,000 each to climb mt. Everest, but a series of accidents and now this this signature landmark of the countrys economy, many people say in jeopardy. Chris . All right, christine, thank you. Thank you for that update. We will go back live to nepal for the latest on the rescue efforts that are under way at this hour. The death toll now tops 3,800 including an American Google executive.

I feel like the grounds shaking even if its not. This used to be a three story pagodastyle temple. These are all people who are simply put too afraid to go back home. The worst this country has seen in generations. Went there as a journalist but you were first and foremost a doctor. This has become a hospital because theres been such tremendous hospitals dont have any shelter for the patients. This is new day with chris cuomo, Allison Camerota and michaela pereira. Welcome this monday april 27th, 8 00 in the east. Nepal is in crisis. 3800 people now dead. Millions at risk. A 7. 9 earthquake to blame and a deadly avalanche on mt. Everest. There an unknown number of climbers are still in need of rescue. And powerful aftershocks are making it impossible for rescue teams to meet thousands of stranded villagers who may be buried alive. Weve got this breaking news disaster covered the only way cnn can starting with chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. He is live from a hospital in kathmandu, nepal. Where he has just performed brain surgery on a young earthquake survivor. Sanjay tell us about whats happened there today. Well you know theres a tremendous amount of demand as you might imagine, for care here. And its part of the reason they asked me if i would help. Obviously i said yes. Would be happy to help. But they have patients who have been injured by just rubble that has fallen on them causing fractures. Causing head injuries. Causing what is known as compartment syndrome where they have to perform operations even in the field very quickly. The building here behind me you know theyre bringing patients in still. Theres waves of patients that have been coming over the last several hours. Back and forth. I want to give you an idea of what has happened really over the last 24 to 48 hours. Cheers from the crowd as survivors continue to be pulled from the rubble this morning. Nepals death toll rising into the thousands as millions suffer through the countrys strongest earthquake in more than 80 years. The country now on the verge of a humanitarian crisis. Now two days after the earthquake we have an idea of just how difficult things are. The busiest hospital in this particular area. Emergency vehicles keep coming in. Patients being rescued, finally found, finally making their way through the traffic to get to the hospital. Damage and aftershocks hindering foreign aid as hospitals are overrun with severe injuries, and a lack of resources. This is selena shes 8 years old. She just got here by ambulance. She was outside getting some water when the earthquake occurred. She has compound fractures of her skull. Watch the earth shake violently in these surveillance videos in kathmandu on saturday. The magnitude 7. 8 earthquake and its aftershocks causing massive avalanches on mt. Everest. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] [ bleep ] watch as climbers on the worlds tallest mountain become engulfed in the monstrous cloud of falling snow. Are you all right yeah yeah. Reporter helicopters rushing to evacuate the severely injured. This is an earthquake. Reporter as survivors began to contact their loved ones. Its just good to see that shes alive after something so big. Reporter many more were not so lucky. The wife of a california documentary filmmaker on assignment in mt. Everest received the heartbreaking news via satellite home. He was on the mountain with his climbers to tell me that tom was dead. I guess he was blown away by the blast. Rather than being buried in any rubble. Reporter historical buildings, iconic symbols of nepal demolished. A landmark tourist attraction completely destroyed. At least 50 bodies pulled from its ruins. You know its hard to tell just how long this is going to last. Weve been hear inging that theres these rescue missions still going on. And so many of those people are being brought back here. So theyve got to figure out how to match up the demand both in terms of personnel and resources, because right now the demand is higher than that supply and as a result a lot of patients are still coming to the hospital. Many of them being forced to wait outside before they can even get any care. The demand sure looks overwhelming there. I know that theyre happy and thankful that you are there today, sanjay. We will check back with you. Thank you for that. So as you just saw in sanjays report that earthquake that shook nepal also triggered that deadly avalanche at mt. Everest. Captured on this spinetingling video. It killed at least 17 people while leaving many stranded on the mountain. Our coverage continues in kathmandu with cnns Senior International correspondent arwa damon. Reporter were in kathmandus main park thats been turned into this makeshift tent city. These are all people that are quite simply at this stage too scared to go back home. Theyre afraid of the aftershocks. And having given what this country has already been through no one wants to risk that at this stage. Throughout the city rescue operations are still under way, as they are throughout the entire country. A significant avalanche was triggered on mt. Everest that killed so far at least 17 people. More perhaps could be dead. Many more are trapped. While we were on our way here this morning, at the airport, we met a helicopter pilot who was on his way to everest, and he was describing just how difficult the conditions were in trying to rescue people from whats known as camp 1 and 2 and get them down to base camp. Because the avalanche, because of the damage that was done to what is already a treacherous part of the trail. The only option is to remove get people out by helicopter. But flying up until today has been very difficult because of the weather. Back to you. All right, arwa thank you very much. A powerful earthquake will make it days before all can be rescued. Weeks until those lost are recovered. Months until life is even close to normal and many of nepals priceless icons are probably gone forever. Cnn International Correspondent joins us with that part of the story. Sunmina is a nepalese native. Were at the square which is the center of kathmandu. Really the main Tourist Destination here where every tourist first arrives in kathmandu. They come here because of the Cultural Heritage of this area. You can see the police volunteers, foreign volunteers sifting through the rubble with their bare hands. Some are accusing steel plates because they dont have anything else. They say theyre not using heavy duty material heavy duty equipment here because they dont want to cause further damage to what is what are priceless objects. This used to be a three story pagodastyle temple, dedicated to the hindu god of preservation lord vishnu. This is dating back to the 15th century. Adjacent to that also in complete ruin. Other temples to the hindu gods theres at least seven or eight temples here dating from the 12th century to the 18th century in complete ruin. People are just, you know, amazed they of course are too scared to go back to their homes because of the continued aftershocks. But theyre just sort of hanging and here looking at this complete loss of their National Heritage. As some people here have been saying, centuries of tradition, centuries of history lost in just moments. Back to you. We know that hits hard personally being from that area. Sumnima thank you for that. Nepal is facing dire need. International aid is starting to pour in. Get the latest from Senior International correspondent who joins us from kathmandu. Emergency workers here are doing the difficult, dirty, urgent work of digging through the rubble of what was the tallest building in this neighborhood. A building that was literally knocked over crushing vehicles and resulting in the deaths of dozens of people. Tragically there was a church here where there was a Prayer Service in session on saturday when the earth began to shake. So most of at least 28 People Killed were churchgoers in prayer when they were trapped inside. Now, some of the personal effects of these people being brought over and piled up in a sad pile here theres a guitar behind these Nepalese Police officers a bible on top of this pile. Now, there are examples of International Assistance coming. The gentleman here in orange are part of Natural Disaster teams that have come in from india. As for the people well nobody is going to their homes right now. Though most of the buildings in this neighborhood are Still Standing many of them have dangerouslooking cracks and people quite literally saying theyre too traumatized after the earthquake too frightened by the aftershocks, to dare to go inside. So they are sleeping and resting out into the streets, shops, schools, closed here. Back to you. Ivan we can see that is all the people lining the streets there behind you. Thank you. We want to bring back dr. Sanjay gupta live in kathmandu. We understand that you just had a very brief talk with the president of nepal. He hasnt made any other official statement yet. What did he say . Well you know i got a chance to basically ask him what you know if anything nepal was able to take care of all the injured. As you mentioned he hasnt spoken to the media as of yet. Hes a doctor himself, interestingly. And he said basically that this is a calamity. Its a tragedy the likes of which he had not seen and that it was difficult to take care of all these patients so he welcomed International Assistance and was thankful for it. That was basically what he said. He was surrounded by many many military personnel, personal security they moved him along quickly. I think hes trying to get an idea as much as he can, being out here of exactly how much kathmandu has suffered alisyn. Sanjay just even in the short time weve been on the air the death toll has climbed. Was he able to give you any sense of the numbers of the death toll or even of the missing at this hour . Well you know its interesting because were seeing so many patients that are being brought in here. Its grim work certainly at times. Because the doctors have to basically right away declare if someone is alive or dead. And thats the first thing they do. And its grim. So its hard to give numbers here. I think even the doctors, even the people who are reporting all of this are reluctant to give the numbers but yes, they have gone up. We know just yesterday outside on the street with just over to the side here they were literally putting dead bodies out here after the doctors and nurses were declaring these people dead. So i dont know the numbers. They are expected to go up and i will tell you there was a little bit of a lull in terms of activity for some time. And i think what the doctors told me is they thought maybe the worst was over. But what was really happening at that time is that there was more rescue missions going further and further out. And over hours they were bringing those patients back in to some of these central hospitals. So that is ongoing, alisyn. Okay sanjay we will check back in with you throughout the rest of the program to see what happens at that hospital. Thank you so much for all of that. We want to bring in now a Nepalese Community leader whos been helping organize efforts in new york. Tara thank you so much for being here. Have you been able to make contact with your loved ones back in nepal yet . First of all, thank you cnn for this opportunity. Initially there was a great deal of difficulty in contacting our loved ones in nepal. Finally in the last two days we have been able to contact a few of our relatives, not all of them. Many of our Community Members are still finding very difficult to reach out to their loved ones. And many of them dont know whether theyre still alive or dead. Thats so heartbreaking, because obviously the communications are down and kathmandu is maybe easier than obviously the remote villages. Kathmandu is definitely easier than the villages. Villages have no communications. If there were any communications those are dead. We cant get through. But gradually, and slowly people are starting to get some information, but particularly outside of kathmandu, it has been very difficult. You held a candle light vigil in queens new york this weekend, for loved ones of victims. And i was stunned to hear how many people turned out at this. Yes. Yesterday and day before yesterday the Community Folks came out in numbers, thousands, to really pray for the country, and the people. You know to express their Sincere Condolence and sympathies to those who have lost their loved ones. And it was really a very somber moment for all of us. It is not only nepalese you know all south asians americans, everybody came together to really show the solidarity with the people of nepal. Weve been hearing from dr. Sanjay gupta all morning about just how illequipped hospitals are there to deal with the influx of patients that theyre getting. And weve also just been hearing about the infrastructure and how bad it is there. What can you and loved ones here in the u. S. Do to help at moment . What were going to do here from the United States is that first of all, there are about approximately 200,000 nepalese in the United States. Is that right . 200,000 . Thats right. About 40,000 to 50,000 alone in the new york tristate area. So what we are trying to do is to really i mean, this impacts everyone. So first of all, our First Priority is to raise funds. Money. Thats the most important thing. And we are doing that every Nepali Community organization every person in the United States is working on that. Under the auspices of nepali negotiation National Coordination council of the usa. So first thing is to raise money and send money immediately to nepal. Secondly were also exploring the possibilities of sending the nepali american doctors and nurses because i think thats one of the area as you mentioned earlier, is in dire need. Nepals hospitals are not well equipped not prepared for this kind of, you know, disaster. So thats one thing we are trying to do. The third thing we are trying to do is to send goods. Medicines, and nonperishable items. Because thats you know another thing that we need to do. And if youre viewers want to know how to help they can go to cnn. Com because the nepalese need so much help. Tara niraula, thanks so much. Do you have a website . Yes, if anyone wants to help nepal, and i think we should all, because as human beings they can go to www. Nrnccusa. Org and we have set up a paypal account. I will tweet out that address for you. Thanks. Okay. Youre welcome. Thank you cnn for doing this wonderful work. Because this has been the once source of information for us and we appreciate it. Oh, good were happy to hear that. Lets get over to chris. All right. In other news alisyn freddie gray is being laid to rest today in baltimore.

Fredinburg was an avid climber and adventurist. Today hes being remembered by his friends and family. And with that were joined by three of those Close Friends of dan. Let me introduce you to Max Goldstein on the far end, mickey in the middle and alex beside me here. First of all, i am so sorry for your loss. I can see the grief on each of your faces. How are you all doing . Hanging in. Hanging in. Its been a tough couple of days. How did you find out of the news . I actually was on my way to Grand Central tech to give a talk and i was in a cab, and my boyfriend called me and told me. I couldnt walk in. I canceled. I immediately went straight to alexs house. Thats not the kind of news anybody ever expected to get. How do you process that . And i can tell that youre still processing it right now, max. I mean when you know when he this is his third trip to mt. Everest. We always knew Something Like this would be a possibility. We threw him a really big party before he left. Especially with dan you just dont assume. You assume hed be able to get out of this. Hed be able to figure this out. Hed be able to overcome. I want to show and i hope you dont mind me doing this. I understand you guys are really closeknit group of people and what you had done was you had each written a handwritten note for him to take along on the trip which i think is extraordinary. 80 people. 80 people wrote handwritten notes. And he was to open one every single day to keep him going. And he was on cloud nine knowing that wed all what a beautiful thing to do. So many people loved him. So many people loved him. Extraordinary number. Amazing people. Were so infatuated by him. Sounds like a really special guy. I want to read a couple of these notes. I think this is the one, mikki you wrote, you exist always as though its your last day on earth. Not only is it thoroughly entertaining its truly inspiring. P. S. , come back in one piece. Come back at all costs. Max, i love you, brother, please return safely with stories. And even if you dont we will all be horrified, saddened and heartbroken that we cant create new stories with you but well also know that youve already lived the equivalent of 100 lifetimes. He kind of lived on different terms, didnt he . He was 33. But he loved 33 lives. He lived as boldly as any human being well ever know. Not just as we know today but as well ever know. He was as big and as bright and as bold as any human being. You think thats part of the magic of him . The way you all talk, we all feel that way about the people we know but there was a Little Something extra it seems about this guy. I mean he was boundless. Most of the rules that we operate under as humans he would just completely ignore, but in the process make everyone love him. And just inject so much joy, and everything going on in the world around him. And there are thousands of people around the world who are remembering dan, and i would just encourage everyone go online go on social media, just learn about him. Were just going to be so motivated to tell his story. But to that end, miki when we have these friends often they have hobbies and interests that are different from our own. And this you know rarefied air this fellow was living in this kind of adventurous risk taking spirit but you knew and you even mention it max about this this you know if youre going to climb mt. Everest, theres a high degree of risk involved. Did he talk about it . Did he acknowledge that you as his friend kind of didnt love that part of his adventurous spirit . You couldnt stop him. I mean he didnt even take a beat. You know last year when he went to mt. Everest, everyone died except for him and a few others because of the big avalanche last year. Yeah, we covered it here. He went back without blinking an eye. Just im going, it was not an option. Thats just the kind of guy he was. You look at every bit of his life. He fit in to so many different communities. The climbing community, the Summit Series community. The tech community. Every type of community, he not only fit in but he was a captain in every one of them. Hows the family doing . Theyre doing okay. Theyre hanging you know this is a devastating time. Weve had a humongous loss that we all share. But were united. You know the amount of people coming together to celebrate dan. Dans about celebration. Dan would want us to celebrate. Dan would want us to dance and party and smile and celebrate him. So the family is trying to keep some of that with them. And i suppose theres a small measure, a very tiny measure, of something that comfort, perhaps, max that comes in knowing that he went doing what he loved so very much. Yeah. I mean absolutely. I think, you know he always was doing things he loved. But i think he just had such a special connection with mt. Everest. As i said this was his third trip. He deserved to be on top of the world. And to summit it. And unfortunately he wasnt able to do it. But, you know his spirit will obviously always live on being on top of the world. We understand he wasnt alone when he went. He was with a group of teach mates and that can give you great comfort. You want to make sure that people know about some efforts that youre doing to make sure that help gets to kathmandu and to nepal. Theres a group of us and crowdrise. Com celebratingdan raising money. I think were almost at 30,000. In maybe 36 hours. And, you know were raising money all donations are going to orphanages that dan actually had a personal connection with in nepal. Theyre completely destroyed. And actually on the ground theyre actually the moneys being put to work as we speak saving lives as we speak. Thats something that should probably give you all a little bit of comfort and hope as well to know that theres a lot of effort going into on the ground. Thank you all, max, miki and alex. Thank you so much for being here. Our condolences. I know this is a very heavy time. Thank you for being bold enough to come and talk to us about your friend. We want to celebrate dan. Our pleasure. We remember and celebrate those who were lost and we keep our focus on those who are still fighting for life. Were going to go back to dr. Sanjay gupta in a hospital in kathmandu.

Nearly 100 aftershocks creating even more terror and hampering rescue efforts. Also at least 17 People Killed by an avalanche at mt. Everest, with many still trapped on that mountain. So lets get more from cnns chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. Hes live for us from a hospital in kathmandu in nepal. Sanjay we wanted to get an update on the little girl who you performed emergency brain surgery on earlier this morning. Hows she doing . Some good news alisyn. She looks like shes doing well. Shes recovered well after the operation. The pressure off of her brain. You know moving all of her limbs well awake, even learned a little more about her parents. Her parents were actually found. Unclear what their whereabouts were earlier but they were found. Theyre in their home with other child, so some good news i think for her. But you know there are so many people who are still in need. In fact shortly after we saw that little girl there was another girl same age, also eight years old, with a similar injury also a blood chat lon top of the brain who is going to need an operation. So good news for that first little girl. I imagine that this other little girl is here soon enough that shell get good care. But just gives you an idea alisyn of the constant demand for care. This is two days out. People still coming in with what would normally be very, very acute injuries. That are getting their care here. Were so happy to hear that her parents were found. At the beginning of the program you said she had been separated from her parents and we didnt know if they were ever be reunited. Can you tell us a little bit more about without communication how they were able to put them back together . You know i dont know for sure how that happens, you know. We know that there was other relatives who showed up and gave us that good news. Its so ad hoc here. Youre so used to being able to pick up the phone, call and figure things out. The communication is terrible right now. The infrastructure is so poor right now because of the earthquake. But yeah it is really good news. And you know just so good to see that part of it. I think she has been understood that her, you know her parents were okay and so it is good news. And you know i bring up the fact that there are more patients that need care obviously because we dont want to forget that. But good news for little selena 8 years old. That is a bright spot in the calamity that youve been covering there. Sanjay thanks so much for the work youre doing there. Great to see you. Lets get over to chris. Situation like that you take good news where and when you find it. All right another big topic this morning bruce jenner is now a woman. The word transgender is echoing through households all over the country. Is that a good thing . Part of our cultural evolution . Or does it mean the death of decency . To discuss Ryan Anderson senior fellow at american principles of Public Policy at the heritage foundation. Ryan. Thanks for having me. So broke the ratings. Broke the internet. Big deal big spectacle. Do you see this as part of the solution or the problem . I think this is part of the solution in the sense that we all need to be having a conversation about this. This is great that bruce jenner is telling his story. I think it will important that we hear other peoples stories, walt higher who has spoken about his experience being transgender and he had the sex reassignment surgery. It didnt help him in that situation. We spoke to dr. Paul mchugh the chief of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins medical school. He stopped Johns Hopkins from doing sex reassignment surgery. Said it created more problems than it solved. I think we need to hear all these voices . Why . Why do we need to hear voices about who it helped and who it didnt help and why it should be done and why it shouldnt be done if it is a matter of legal right and your own personal choice . I think we need to be having an informed discussion. We should know how do we respond in love to someone like bruce . Im not interested in the government taking sides one way or the other. I dont think the government should be involved. It should be up to each individual. But i think how we respond as a Community Needs to be based on good information. And thats why all voices all stories matter. But because of your first concern, how we respond as a community, you have forced the government to get involved. We get to say if its good or not. Were going to balance voices on it when you could argue this is a personal decision. We dont have Community Change about how i do my hair. Why do we have to have it about what i decide to do with my life . So the law has had to get involved because lgbt is now arguably discriminated against as a class. I dont know about that. I think we have tons of talk shows that talk about how you should do your hair. We have lots of Community Discussions about fashion. But not your right to do your hair. No ones suggesting he should have a right here. Is anyone suggesting bruce jenner shouldnt have a right to speak out the therapy or the hoar means or the surgery if he ever opts for that option . I dont know of anyone trying to limit his freedom here. Certainly there are those doing exactly that but they dont have the power to enfoerps it. You see that power comes into play when it comes to samesex marriage and the rights to be enjoyed as a class under the constitution. Thats the issue. Well sure so in the case of tomorrow morning in the Supreme Court were going to hear whether or not states can define marriage for themselves. Theres nothing in the constitution that tells us what marriage is. Theyre good arguments that think marriage should be a genderless institution. Its just a consenting adult relationship between two people. Other think there are good arguments that marriage is between a man and a woman, a mother and a father, thats how the entire world had been doing it up until a decade ago. I dont think nine unelected judges can settle this for the nation. This is a kind of thing that needs to be settled democratically. If you allowed it to be settled democratically you can then play to cultural mores and norms that are not necessarily fair to everyone as we saw with slavery, youre now seeing an evolution in law and culture with lgbt. They say i get you may like it you may not like it but i want the right to do it. And the constitution has representative bingham tried very hard when he put together the 14th amendment extends to all people. The constitution protects equality for the law. I think everyone in this discussion is in favor of marriage equality. We want the law to treat all marriages equally. The question is what type of consenting adult relationship is a marriage . And thats the question thats constitution doesnt answer. Thats the question that people have to answer. Is that a legal question . Its a policy question. And in this case the people in the four states in the sixth circuit they went to the ballot box and voted to make marriage policy as the union of a man and a woman, a husband and a wife a mother and a father. If youre in favor of a different marriage policy convince those citizens democratically and win a vote. This isnt the type of issue for nine unelected judges to solve for the entire nation. But arguably, is it for a population whose mores change and go back and forth or maybe they never do but their feelings in their absolute way limit the rights of a class . And then it doesnt matter how many no one is limiting the rights of anyone. So in all 50 states two people of the same sex can live with each other and love each other. They can have a wedding ceremony at a church or synagogue. They can work for a business that gives them marriage benefits. None of that is being limited by the government. The only question here is what sort of relationship are the states going to recognize as a marriage . And thats a question that can only be solved democratically. Judges have no greater insight into the answer to that question than you and i have. So we need to have this discussion. Their role is to say whether or not theres right has a remedy under law. And thats going to be their question. When you look at the state of alabama the concern becomes you have people 991 vote that they want marriage to be between a man and a woman they have a constitutional amendment and now those judges wont marry anybody else. That is an infringement of rights many would argue of the lgbt class that is excluded by that amendment. So if the Supreme Court finds otherwise then those states would have to change their laws. Right. If the Supreme Court rules in an activist way, the Supreme Court says were discarding the volts of millions of citizens in the 50 states who voted to define marriage between a man and a woman that would redefine marriage in those states. It would be a travesty. Why . Just like what the court did in roe v. Wade. We have a culture war now over abortion because we cant make marriage policy democratic. Look at europe. They dont have a culture war over abortion because they have settled their marriage policy with Compromise Solutions. Roe v. Wade took it out of the democratic process, tried to settle it once and for all for all 50 states and now every four years at election time abortion is the most divisive issue in american politics. Why would we want to repeat that mistake on the marriage question . Because if you didnt have roe v. Wade you would have a Cultural Institution in place that said women didnt get to decide what to do with their own bodies. The other side is when you have a Cultural Institution that can protect unborn children from being killed in the womb. We could find Compromise Solutions like the 20 week bill. Were one of only seven nations that allows abortion after 20 weeks. Why would we want to be in the company of those other six nations that are not human rights champions. Theyre human rights violators. We would be able to have much better abortion policy in this nation if as you pointed out mores are changing values are changing we allowed it to change through the democratic process not through the wisdom of the high court. How do you protect those who are exposed to the slow movement of everybody else . That becomes the question. Law, culture, being debated. Well see how it plays out in the court we wont know until june but it starts tomorrow. Ryan, look forward to having you back. All right, chris, former president george w.

I think its bad for the presidency for that matter. Well that was former president bushs opinion last year speaking about his successor. But now president bush is voicing criticism of president obama. Heres the rub, though. The critical comments came during a closeddoor meeting. So lets bring in josh rogan. He wrote an article about this for Bloomberg View and about specifically what president bushs comments were. Josh great to see you. So this was a rare appearance by president bush because he has generally stayed out of the limelight and certainly out of political discourse. What did he say during this meeting . Good morning, alisyn. Youre right. He was speaking to a group of jewish donors in las vegas, Republican Jewish Coalition meeting, but there were so many people in there you would think that he would know that this was going to leak out almost immediately. And of course it did. After six years of saying almost nothing about president obamas Foreign Policy he went into a pretty much 40minute criticism. He said that the president was being naive on iran that this president of iran rouhani was just a new spokesman, not a new policy in iran. He said that the president s policy that sanctions could be lifted and then snapped back was just not plausible. He says that the president is losing the war against isis. He said that the president has miscalculated against putin and went into several other things as well with really kind of a vicious acrosstheboard critique of obamas Foreign Policy especially in the middle east. Thats interesting because your characterization of this is a little different than the New York Times account which im reading right now. They make it sound as though he did give his take on Foreign Policy but he didnt directly criticize president obama. Did he use president obamas name or was all this more oblique . I think what youre seeing is i got a lot more direct quotes than the New York Times did so i had a little more detail than them or a lot more detail. What he said was he kind of was cute about it oh, well Lindsey Graham says withdrawal from iraq in 2011 was a strategic blunder, right, referring to president obamas decision not to keep troops there. He said that the president was not didnt have a plan to defeat the Islamic State in iraq. He touted his own plan. He said that the surge was a success because when iraq policy wasnt doing well he changed it and obama wont change the policy even though hes losing the war against the Islamic State now. So he went into a lot of detail. And i think we see a lot of different reports roll out of pieces of that. As we mentioned this was a closeddoor meeting. So what are the rules here . Was this supposed to be off the record . For people in the meeting and who agreed to keep it off the record, yes, it was supposed to be off the broke. Those people broke the agreement and the journalists who didnt agree to those terms are free to report what leaks they could get. A got almost a full transscript of the remarks. But i think its kind of understood that when you speak to a room of 300 people that its very hard to keep all of those remarks off the record especially when youre the former president and youre speaking so bluntly and so extensively about the current president. All right josh rogan, thanks so much for sharing your report with us. Any time. Isis was dismissed as a jv team by the president and now it is the most opposed force in the world since the nazis.

How can a terror group like this rise to such power seemingly out of nowhere when theyre so brutal . And how didnt we see it coming . These are questions that often we look to Fareed Zakaria to answer for us. Hes going to do just that in a cnn special report called blindsided. How isis shook the world, airing tonight at 9 00 p. M. Heres a look. This extraordinary video gives us a rare look into everyday life under isis. It brings to mind the concept, the banality of evil. Isis has its own license plates. And traffic cops who give parking tickets. And there are friendly shopkeepers. Completely brainwashed. I never in my life met people like this. So fascinating to see this at work because you always tell us isis isnt just about terror. They want to rule. And this is just a taste of a fivepart series. Tell us about the access the journalists involved and what the big take is. Well you know tom friedman in the documentary, in the special, says this is the most difficult story ive ever covered in 40 years of covering the middle east. Why . Because isis has a department of killing journalists. They dont want observers. Most he covered hezbollah, he covered hamas. So this is unusual. This is a german journalist who managed to go in obviously cooperating with them but came out with this kind of video that made you realize, they are very focused on something al qaeda was. This is where theyre different. They want to create a state. They want to create a caliphate. Thats very important to them. Theyre trying to figure out not simply how to do terrorism. Terrorism is all in service of creating the caliphate. So as the material started to come in and youre organizing your thoughts what stood out to you most . Probably the most interesting aspect of it was how we were blindsided. Thats why the you know thats the title. But its not just the United States. Its the arabs. Its the people around. The neighbors. Everyone no one saw this coming and why . Part of it was we were all focused on al qaeda. Right . This is something that comes, when your eye is in one direction you dont see something coming out of the other side. The other piece of it was the americans thought they had killed zarqawi who represented al qaeda in iraq which was the precursor to isis. We didnt see this phoenixlike rising up from the ashes. And finally, you know we thought it was contained in syria. We didnt realize that these guys really were about iraq. And one of the real revelations i think in this special is the military backbone of isis is saddam husseins old army. I remember you saying boy, if this iraqi reassemblage of government does not embrace the sunnis youre going to lose a lot of leadership and where will they go . And i remember presenting that ominous question we now know the answer to it. They went and created the formation of isis which is why theyre as organized as they are. Right . Absolutely. I mean its extraordinary now the more you dig the more you realize that the military operations of isis in iraq and syria are essentially run by colonels and generals from saddam husseins army. And whats particularly striking about this is these guys are not islamists at all. At least ostensibly the Baathist Party was a very secular party. It was a socialist, secular type of party. So what theyre about is not so much religion as power. But they are very well organized. These guys are good at what they do. Theres an organizational chart that the german weekly der spiegel got, and you know its like the way the u. S. Army would do something, or the europeans would do something. Sort of the opposite paradigm. Usually religion is the reason and then you have to find the muscle for whatever your change mechanism is. Here its you have these former baathists who are looking to control, and have a real caliphate, as you say, and theyre using religion as the muscle to get people to sign on board. Fivepart series. Great work. Thank you, sir. Thanks for bringing it to us. Remember tonight 9 00 p. M. Eastern the cnn special report blindsided. Got the handsome guy on the screen to refind you, fareed. And its called blindsided how isis shook the world. Our thanks for fareed taking us inside the journalists so brave among some of the most fearsome people in the world.
