Directly but you can bet the answer is yes. Mali anywhere where we think al qaeda might be active and theres a war zone, which mali is, would be covered. I have to wrap it up. Define imminent. I cant. You cant. And its imminent is not like an hour or a day. The memo defines imminent in such a way that it could be, you know, pretty soon, which again gives the executive branch enormous life or death powers. Jeffrey toobin, i knew youd have the answers or ones we can get to. Thats all the time we have. Thanks for watching. Newsronewsroom international next. Welcome to newsroom international. Im Suzanne Malveaux. Taking you around the world in 60 minutes. Whats going on now. Austria, american skiing sensation lindsey vonn has been airlifted to a hospital after a serious crash on the slopes today. It happened during Opening Event at the alpine ski World Championships. The hospital says she suffered a complex knee injury. Vonn is a fourtime World Champion and olympic gold medalist. More of a live report later in the hour. In mexico a very disturbing story. Police searching for a gang of armed men who raped six spanish women near al ka polka. They raped the women after tying up the men in the group. The mayor has amazing comments about what happened. More on that story, straight ahead. Also, in alabama, the 5yearold boy held hostage for more than a week is now free. His captor is dead. Now people are asking, how does this boy heal after seeing his bus driver shot to death and after being dragged into an underground bunker by a stranger with a gun. A live update. And it is something, nof course a lot of us worry about when we travel. Are we going to be safe. For us women its a concern. The allegations of a gang of armed men raped six spanish women visiting the resort city of acalpulco. Elizabeth is in l. A. What do we know about what happened, first of all . Then well get the reaction from the mayor. Hi, suzanne. A horrifying attack, as you described it, what we know at this point, according to local media reports, six spanish women raped inside a condo staying near the beach resort and seven men tied up with cell phone cables. Now, as you mentioned, the mayor just reacted, saying that this is definitely horrifying, condemned the attack, but said its something that could happen anywhere in the world. We also know that the spanish ambassador is in contact with the victims. At this hour theyre not specifying exactly where they are but they have told us they have received medical attention and taking care of them, as we speak. But certainly horrifying details, these tourists reportedly staying at a condo, no motive why the attack. Of course the hunt, the manhunt, on for the gang of armed masked men. A loot of pressure on the mayor to respond. Clearly its a popular place. A lot of us go vacation, a lot of people feel safe there. I want us listen to the mayor in his own words, his response to what happened. We knee thow its unfortunatt happens happened but, hey, it happens anywhere in the world. The hey, when they adds in hey, it sounds look a casual response there. How seriously are authorities taking this . Well, they certainly are taking this serious but i think youre absolutely right about it raising eyebrows. A producer say, wow, to a this happens anywhere in the world. But the reality is, as a news reporter, you know, anchor in los angeles, ill tell you, ive covered a lot of violence in this town, and certainly weo see Home Invasion robberies, unfortunately rapes, and also think about it, suzanne, we live in a country where a man dressed up as batman and walked into a Movie Theater and killed a number of people, not to mention what happened in december in this country, as you know, over at Sandy Hook Elementary School where 20 innocent children killed pi a gunman. Its a tough situation. Certainly mexican authorities want to make sure tourists feel safe when they come to mexico. They feel if they go, they spend money, especially beach resorts. You hear of drug violence and a lot of Gang Violence along the border. At beach resorts its a different issue. Yeah. Certainly a surprise when you think about it that way. Thank you very much. Take us now to washington, d. C. , that is where new jersey senator Robert Menendez, hes now speaking out about the allegations that he partied with prostitutes in the dominican republic. Dana bash got an exclusive interview with the senator and facing allegations of improper travel, connected to flights that he took on a private jet, owned by one of his Biggest Campaign donors. Menendez says, this is all a bunch of rumored stirred up by his political opponents. He got heated talking about the aelt allegations of prostitution. The smears reporter that you with prostitutes. Smears that right wing blogs pushing since the election, totally unsubstantiated. Menendez the chair on the Senate Foreign relations committee. The guy, weve heard of him before, arch villain richard iii in shakespeares play about him, conniving king, kills his own nephews to grab the throne. A mystery of what happened to the body after the death, until now. Max foster explains the work of history buffs rediscovered the medieval king. Reporter richard iii the last british king to die in battle and demonized ever since. Not least by William Shakespe e shakespeare. A classic performance by lawrence olivier. The king, who said to have a hunchback, buried in a forgotten grave in lester in the english midlands. A group made it their mission to find the grave, and restore the kings reputation. Their work appeared to pay off when here, beneath a car park in lester, they found a skillton with a twisted spine. It was a man that would have been richards age. Just excavating the spinal column. Take a look at it along here, you can see theres really abnormal curvature of it. So what we are actually seeing here is that this skeleton, in fact, has a hunchback. Well no. Yeah. No reporter the bones were sent off for age and dna analysis, which was difficult enough, considering how degraded they were. But there was also another missing link. To make a dna match to richard, they needed one of his living descendants. Genealogists worked tirelessly to track richards lineage to the modern day and ended up here in london. A canadian carpenter was a 17th Generation Descendant of richard iii. My mother gave a dna sample in 2004, she died in 2008. And when they launched the date back in the end of august, they asked me to provide a new sample, just because the Testing Process had become a bit more complex. Reporter if his dna matched that of the bones in the car park, richard iiis burial place would have been found more than 500 years after his death. And thats what happened. It is the conclusion of the university of lester that beyond reasonable doubt the individual exhumed at gray fryers september 2012 is indeed richard iii. Reporter richards first funeral may have passed by undocumented and forgotten. But after a 500year wait, he is now set for reburial, fit for a king, the lester cathedral, courtesy of modern day followers. Max foster, cnn, london. Want to bring in Richard Quest from london, not to be confused with richard iii. Richard, why is everybody fascinated about the story . Like the twitter verse is blowing up over this thing. Some people think, maybe he was unfairly painted as this vilen and hundreds and hundreds of years later they want to rehabilitate his image. And it is everywhere. Just look, the newspapers, all have the story in the uk. Bent spine, slashed skull and dna. Everybodys got it. And you want to know why, because its the thought of mystery. For half a millennium we wondered, not only what happened to him, although it was known he died at the battle of bosworth, but how did they die. Where was he buried. He was he the evil king of shakespeare . Remember, we all read this, richard iii, a horse, a horse, my kingdom, for a horse. Its everywhere. And its that element of mystery thats now being uncovered. Why do people care so much about this . He really was, like pretty evil dude killing people but no. A lot of people did that, right . That was part of the culture. Oh, you say that, but the richard iii society is in the business of rehabilitation. Did he really kill the Young Princes in the tower or his brother . No, we dont know these things. We do know now, and this is one of the fascinating parts of this whole story, we know how he was killed. We know the acts, ten wounds to the body, two into the head the skull could have knocked him off in one go. A paupers grave. But we still do not know exactly what sort of man he was. Was he this evil villain of shakespeare, this machiavellian, or did he have the empathy of the working man, which of course we saw in many of his other works. Richard, do we have any idea his descendants, right . They tracked them down to one canadian carpenter. Do we know if theres any link between Queen Elizabeth and richard iii. Glad you asked. There is no direct descendant between richard iii and her majesty, the queen. Richard had no issue. Therefore, there could be no lineage that way. However, if you look back through the family tree, as ive spent more times than decent in the last few hours you do see connections well and truly up the family tree and its always by marriage, nephews, nieces. Its not direct. So, yes, there is a very indirect descent from richard iii to elizabeth ii, but it is distant at best. And, richard, i want to show you tweets because everybodys talking about this today. He we have one of them who says, the ability to produce reconstruction of a long dead face remarkable. Many congratulations to all. Another one says, if this guy did 1 of what he was accused, any reasonable person would conclude he was not a nice man, by any stretch. Somebody else weighing in saying, wow, kind of eerie to see a full sized replica of his face. This is the amazing part about it. This replica, this that theyve recreated, knowing what the skull was like, knowing how he looked, knowing what the features were. And, let me tell you, when he was done in, it was brutal and bloody. I mean, this wasnt sort of a nice i assure you, for family viewing in the United States, at this timing of the day, were not going to go into details but put it this way. It was painful and unpleasant. We see the replica on the right, Pretty Amazing when you look at the picture and the replica. Richard, i think were going to keep pock talking about this for days. Everybodys blown away about what were seeing here. Its a i mystery. We dont know a lot about what happened back then. I think im going to get some cliffs notes, use say, and maybe reread shakespeare, knowing what we now know about him. I think its probably a good moment to reinvest some time in richard iii. Yeah. I think i might reread it myself, in our free time, right. All of the free time we have these days. What were working on for this hour of newsroom international.

Vice President Biden paying a visit to 10 downing street, he met with Prime Minister david cameron. Among the issues topping the aagenda, battle against islamist rebels in mali and of course the civil war in syria. The Vice President arrived in uk yesterday after stops in berlin and paris. In mexico, Officials Say a gas buildup caused an explosion at the state oil companys headquarters, happened last week, killed at least 37 people, injured more than 100. Investigators are still looking for the exact source of the gas. They say that there are no traces of explosives found actually at the scene. And, of course, the question we are asking today, when is it legal for the u. S. Government to kill its own citizens overseas . Talking about americans here. Justice Department Memo made public by nbc spells out the position, by the obama administration, now what it says the memo justifies the targeted killing of an american who is considered a senior operational leader of al qaeda or an associated group, and who poses an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States. Want to bring in halle goran any. A controversial issue, under president bush, now president obama. The fact that the government does have the power, and the authority, to kill an american overseas thats considered a threat. And how do they define that . Thats the question because when you say imminent, it could be imminent in a few hours, in a few weeks, saying you can target a member of al qaeda, senior operational al qaeda leader, or associated forces. How are you defining associated forces . How are you defining the word imminent . How are you defining the word threat . All of these things are things that are open to interpretation and has Civil Liberties groups, as well, worried about what this means as far as the u. S. , executive Powers Authority to decide, based on kind of unclear, sometimes, terms in terms how theyre defined to go ahead and assassinate a u. S. Citizen abroad. When you look at the justice Department Memo, as you said, leaked and made public by nbc, 16 pages. Details the case for the use of those armed drones, which are terribly unpopular outside of the United States. I dont think in the u. S. People realize how unpopular the use of armed drones are. That this is yes, it is believed to be, as i said, senior operational leader or associated force. Whats important, though not to be actively pursuing an attack. Not talking about a tourist who might be suspicious that theyre looking at. Talking about people like anwar al awlaki. Killed in yemen september 2011. I think part inspired the underwear bomber, i understand, as well, that was his role. One of operatives. Civil liberties groups say he wasnt charged, he wasnt indicted, there was Collateral Damage that ended up taken out as well his teenage son, also a u. S. Citizen. This is where you have concern, as well, that executive is granting itself the authority. We speak about Civil Liberties groups. What do they say . Aclu says its a disturbing document. You have that. And a spoke with our team spoke with bruce ackerman, on Cnn International of yale university, saying there are three words to remember here, one, is imminent, the third is associated forces, which broadens the definition of al qaeda and third secrecy. This is done in secret. These are leaked memos, not something you can bet theres a lot of legal challenges. Hala.

Charmin ultra soft. In austria today, american skiing sensation lindsey vonn airlifted to the hospital after a crash on the slopes. A hospital says vonn suffered a complex knee injury on opening day of the super g event al the alpine ski World Championships. Christina mcfarland, host of alpine edge. Tell us, first of all, do we know where she is and how shes doing . Hi, suzanne. Yes, shes in a hospital, airlifted to hospital from the place close to where the tournament is taking place. In the last ten minutes, weve been able to confirm from her surgeon, treating her at the moment she has sustained a torn ligament to the right knee. However, no immediate operation will be necessary for her at this time, and apparently the ski association considering whether or not to take her, fly her back to the United States. What does this mean for her skiing future . Do we know . Well, it not great for her skiing future. We spoke to her in december, and she was excited about this season, on the cusp of breaking the world record of number of world cup wins. Looking to next year, its the winter olympics, the big one on the horizon, whether shell be ready to defend the gold medal is another question altogether. When we see the video of that, give us a sense of what was it like on the slopes, conditions that caused this accident. Do we have any idea what was behind this . Yes. It was a very cloudy morning on the place, i understand, so much so they were deciding whether or not to let the race go ahead. When lindsay had
