Teens. Another massive typhoon slams into the philippines. The latest right now in the cnn news room. So good to be with you this morning. Im christy paul. Im victor black well. 10 00 here on the east coast. 7 00 on the west coast. A Dramatic Mission by American Special forces ends in heartbreak for a family who desperately wanted their son home. But american luke somers is dead along with another hostage. U. S. Commandos swept in overnight to try to get the man to safety. He had been held more than a year. Just days ago the milt pts released a video threatening to kill him unless washington met their demands and we are learning new details. A fire fight broke out and they shot somers and another hostage. One died on the way to the u. S. Military ship. The other died aboard that vessel. President obama is talking today about this as is secretary hagel who you see there. But the president is saying that his deepest con doelss are with the somers family. He also explained why he ordered had resident accuse missio rescue mission. This is a quote. Earlier it was announced that luke was would be killed within 72 hours. And also indicated his life was in imminent danger. Goes on to say based on this assessment and as soon as there was reliable intelligence and ab plan in place. I authorized it and the rescue of any other hostages in that same location. Peter. Thanks for being was. As we mentioned parking light oba president obama ordered this raid because there is compelling reason. We noticed they had been held captive since last year. And people might look at this and say did the u. S. Wait too long to attempt a mission. Its hard to assess because a lot of fact wes dont know. But as you know there was a rescue operation in november. At a place where he was being held. And in fact a number of the al qaeda abductors were killed in the raid and some hostages were released. Unfortunately mr. Somers had been moved before that raid took place. And so, you know, i think the im pretty sure al qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula was quite well prepared for the possibility of another rescue attempt. You had one failed attempt back in november. You have had the deadline expiring on you know, in the video demands they made. They would have been i think quite alert to the fact that a rescue attempt was possible. Is snatching a page out of the i the isiss book. They are more likely to hold for ransom. Where we seeing is a shift. Yemen is a place where kidnapping for ransom is endemic. I spent time there in fact narrowly being kidnapped by myself. And it is quite unusual in yemen more people to be killed. There was a case back in 1998 where a group of western hostages was taken by al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula or a predecessor group. A hostage operation was mounted by the government. It was a fiasco and some hostages were killed in the crossfire. In this operation that took place yesterday, we are hearing from the u. S. Government that it was the hostage takers themselves that executed the hostages. And, you know, lets see as we learn more details. Lets see how this all plays out. Peter, for the last few months, the focus at least publicly for the u. S. Has really been isis. Now were learning about this. How does the u. S. Focus on so many Different Things going on . Well, the United States is certainly capable of operating in more than one theater. And al kield in the Arabian Peninsula has been the subject of a great deal of u. S. Navy seal actions against it. The cia drone strikes. More than a hundred directed at al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Almost every one of those except one took place under obama. There was one strike under george w. Bush. At least a hundred almost missile strikes. So the United States has been engaging aggressively against this group since the attempt to bring down the flight over detroit on Christmas Day 2009. So for almost five years there has been an aggressive campaign. Peter bergen from washington. Thank you so much. Thank you. So this dramatic rescue that weve been talking about. We want to get to jim shudo. Hes been standing buy in kabul listening to secretary of defense hagel as he talked about the rescue. As well as how we move forward with an announcement of troops in afghanistan. So jim, i want to send it to you. What have you learned this morning. Reporter lets try one more time. Jim, do you have us . Reporter i hear you now. The question, you have been in this News Conference with secretary of defense hagel and afghan president. What are you learning . Reporter well two head lines i would say. First the head line regarding u. S. Troops in afghanistan. Secretary of defense hagel announcing that instead of the u. S. Troop presence dropping by the end of this year, an extra 1,000 u. S. Troops will remain in afghanistan. That will make the total 10,800 al told. The reason they give for this one, that it took so long to get a bilateral Security Agreement signed with the afghans. But two, also weve learned through defense officials that it is baecause our nato partner allies here havent made clear their commitment for troops so you need that extra u. S. Forces to fulfill the mission. That is one head line. Regarding the operation in yemen secretary of defense hagel expressing condolences and saying his and others hearts were broken today because of this news here. He assay says it was a well exe operation and good intelligence and they had indications that the life of the american was in imminent danger. So they took the decision to go in. Weve also learned that they got better information just in the last 24 or 48 hours as to exactly where he was being held. Operating both on the threat but also better intel about the location. They went in. They had a risky mission. But a fire fight broke out and in that fire fight, it is believed that one of or several of the al qaeda aqaap killed the hostages, both the american and South African who were held. So definitely of course not the result they were hoping with this operation. And you can hear that disappointment in the secretarys voice this afternoon. We also understand that several of the aqap Terrorists Holding that hostage, they were killed as well. We lost him. We apologize. But we are getting word several terrorists who were holding them captive were also killed in that mission. Absolutely. Lets talk about the protesters who were out in full force across the u. S. Last night. The protesting via choke hold death of eric garner at the hand of a new york city policeman, would body cameras have helped to save garners life . A dry mouth can be a common side effect.

I have 40,ney do you have in your pocket right now . 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. There has been this is a stunning turn of events ater s Rolling Stone. People could not stop talking about this. In the article, a woman named jackie recounted her alleged gang rape. On friday it said quote in the face of new information there now appears to be discrepancies in jackys account and we have to come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. We want to bring in brian. Good to see you. This isnt a retraction, we want to point out. It is an apology. Is there a difference here . Right there is and it is an important distinction. Rolling stone is apologizing for some of the manner they published had story. But they are not saying they believe the story is false. If they retract they would be saying they dont believe it. The Washington Post spoke to jackie at length repeatedly and she stands by her story. A lot of folks believe maybe there are parts of her story that dont add up but that she did go through something deeply traumatic and we shouldnt let this one case distract from the very real issues going on at uva and other college campuses. Regardless of that, very embarrassing for Rolling Stone. A magazine that prides itself on Fact Checking to have not fact checked in this case. Lets talk about that moment, the Fact Checking. Rolling stone decided not to contact the boy, i guess young men in some cases accused in jackies story and that shed asked them not to. We know from interviewing Sexual Assault victims that you want to be very careful in dealing with these stories but was that the right call at the time . Obviously now it appears it wasnt. And even Rolling Stone admitting that. He said we made a judgment. It was wrong. We should have not made this agreement with jackie or worked hard to convince her getting treatment was better served. And then added that failure is on us. Not on her. And this is more of a journalistic sin on anything education. To agree not to go to those other sources is why now this has become such a terrible story. Thanks brian. Demonstrators plan to take to the streets again today over the death of eric garner.

Nobody wants to be without power. I dont want my family to be without power. Its much more personal to me for that reason. I dont think theres any place i really would rather be. Some of the big news, you know, this whole week has been eric garner and the fact he died and there is no indictment for the Police Officer who put him in the choke hold and is responsible for his death. That obviously has led to some of the protests that weve seen overnight. Some that are planned again today we know in new york city. But we want to look closer at that video again and see. Kind of break it down. With an attorney. So we can try to figure out maybe what exactly the grand jury was thinking, why they came to the conclusion they did and is there anything left to be done. Yeah the encounter we saw started with a mans frustration with police. Police coming because of reports of his selling loose cigarettes there known as looucys. Weve seen the takedown. Lets talk about what happened before that. Watch. None of my business. Stopping and come up on me . The people that fighting walk away . Are you serious . I didnt do nothing. What did i do . So you hear eric garner telling the cops that im just minding my own business. Every time you see me you arrest me. What should the cops have done at that point, when he allegedly is selling loose cigarettes. Is that even an offense for which one can be arrested, darren. It is. Selling lucys as they are called, is a misdemeanor offense. And so the police are entitled to engage in lawful investigative or detention or even arrest conduct when it comes to that. But i think fundamentally victor, the thing that leaps out to me here is in the court of public opinion, there really is outrage act the lack of proportionalty, this notion that all were talking about is loose cigarettes. And now in the bright light of 20 20 hindsight we see this man paid with his life and there is something that seems fundamentally unfair about that. As well as the fundamental lack of transparency that we get from the grand jury process and that is a whole other issue to be discussed. Lets keep looking at this video for a second. I didnt do nothing. I did not sell nothing. [inaudible]. Because every time you see me you want to harass me. You want to stop me saying im selling cigarettes. Im minding by business officer. Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time. Please just leave me a i loan. Leave me alone im minding my own business. He even said why do you keep arresting me. As i understand it. He had 31 arrests. I dont know that any charges ever came from any of those. Do you know . I guess a few did but what kind of a threat did he pose for what happened . Thats exactly right christy. There had been a string of arrests and police know about the arrest records of those they have a contact with. But when it comes to misdemeanor offenses, generally speaking Law Enforcement officers are only supposed to make arrests for offenses that occur in their presence. And here this is in the aftermath of a fight that mr. Garner broke up. It wasnt as if the police observed any illegal conduct he was engaged in. At least what ive been able to glean from this tape. So that is something that is problematic and i think another factor that leaves people wondering why it was this grand jury didnt indict. Or more specifically what it was that gave these officers the legal justification to be attempting to place garner under arre arrest. All righty. Well thank you so much darren. We appreciate you breaking it down for us. Thank you darren. Thanks for having me. President obama calls the desk death of an american hostage barbaric. Well talk with a fellow journalist who knew somers in yemen and says he had a deep love for the country and its people. First were exploring the world of street art. Shepherd ferry and sleeve. Explain how the sub culture has turned a corner now and which artists are leading the way. One image is enough to make a statement. Street art, it is the universal language of images which speaks out from the most unexpected co corners of our cities. The lines capture our history. The colors captivate. They deck vat. They provoke. I see street art as a metaphor for courageous expression in any venue. This subculture is turning into that multimillion business. Last year street art worth an estimated 80 million was traded globally. Once associated with the vandalism but it now holds a prime position in contemporary art market. When people are buying it it is almost like buying a slice of philosophy, buying a slice of rebellion. And by buying they take part and feel participant of it. Were consulting two expert, a view from the street and a view from the gallery to discover whithree artists they would they would consider the ones to watch.
