-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com hello, everyone. i'm don lemon. thank you for joining us. an alleged massacre in afghanistan is outraging afghans and is one more setback to the effort to end that war. nee te says one u.s. soldier is accused of killing 16 civilians. most of the victims are children. afghan officials say the shooting spree took place in a district known as the birthplace of the taliban. the military is rushing to diffuse a potentially-explosive
4:01 pm
situation. >> reporter: villagers mill about in an eerie column in kand har province. afghan officials say 16 civilians were gunned down in their homes on sunday leaving nine children, three women, and four men dead and several more injured. the injured are being treated at coalition medical facilities. a senior official says a u.s. army staff sergeant has been detained in the incident. so far, they think he was acting alone. u.s. officials reacted swiftly to the incident. >> we deplore any attack by a member of the u.s. armed forces against innocent civilians and denounce all violence against civilians. we assure the people of afghanistan that the individual or individuals responsible for this terrible act will be identified and brought to justice. >> reporter: but villagers and triable leaders on the ground told us there was more than one soldier on the ground when the incident occurred.
4:02 pm
president karzai said "those operations conducted against terrorism during which our innocent countrymen are killed, such as what the american soldier did, are acts of terror and unforgivable." kand har is the birthplace of the taliban. they put out a statement saying it happened during a raid. but a full investigation is underway. whatever the case, the killings come just weeks after deadly protests erupted when u.s. troops mistakenly burned eed k and other religious materials. we were told the timing of the incident couldn't be worse. >> the taliban could not have asked for a better presence from the coalition than to have the two incidents that took place like the burning of the koran a
4:03 pm
couple weeks ago, and that's not even been settled yet, and now we have the one soldier going and killing a number of afghan civilians. they are really going to take this for all it's worth. >> reporter: after this latest shooting incident, there's fear of reprisal. >> president obama offers his condolences to the victims' loved ones. for more on the u.s. reaction, barbara starr joins me now from washington. barbara, let's talk about the pentagon's reaction and handling of this tragedy now. >> reporter: you would expect statements in public from high level officials expressing condolences and regret. but i have to tell you, behind the scenes, senior military officials, this is just a punch in the gut to them. you can hear their slumping shoulders in their voices when
4:04 pm
we talked to them today about all of this. both angry and upset and they wonder where it's all going to go from here. angry at the perpetrator, upset about what has happened. they were just getting past the koran-burning incident. this is only going to make the mission all that much tougher. >> do we know anything about the soldier accused? >> reporter: we're told he's a u.s. army staff sergeant and that he is not himself, part of any special soldier himself. no confirmation, but said to be part of the so-called conventional force in the u.s. army. one of the things they will be looking at closely in the whole investigation s what kind of weapons was he carry iing. how much ammunition did he have as he walked away from this base. what was he equipped to do and
4:05 pm
how well thought out was this by him? >> that's the thing. how could a soldier simply walk off without anyone being aware of his disappearance. >> this is the mystery. we were told that afghan soldiers noticed him leaving this outpost and reported it. the u.s. troops then conducted a count of personnel and found that indeed one person was missing, not accounting for. they began to send out a search par party. this person then walked back into the outpost, but i've been on a lot of those in afghanistan. you don't just wander away. remote as they are, they are secure. there are guard posts. nobody operates on their own really. so this is a bit of a mystery at the moment. certainly, part of the investigation. how did he just simply get out
4:06 pm
and walk away from his post? >> and barbara, as i ask you the next question, i believe we have a picture of president obama speaking about the incident. he reached out and offered his condolences to the victims' loved ones.ñr this does not reflect the u.s. military and its mentality and its character. i have to ask you, barbara. there are reports too, and i don't know if they are true, but we've been hearing that the soldier tried to burn the bodies? >> reporter: there is reports that they believe he might have tried to do that. some of the photographs, don, that have emerged from the scene that our sources have seen show partially-burned bodies. this will be a point, obviously, to be very precise of the investigation of the
4:07 pm
interrogation of the suspect. but right now based on the photographs that some of our military sources have seen, that they have told us about, they believe it might have been possible that that is what he was attempting to do. >> cnn's pentagon correspondent, barbara starr. thank you. and more on this now. the u.s. has had a hard enough time dealing with previous ugly incidents. we have mentioned the recent koran burning controversy. riots after that outrage left dozens dead including six u.s. troops. that was the second incident this year to cause anger. the video of the next incident is graphic. pictures posted on youtube showing a group of marines, remember that, jury nating on several bodies. these make the mission to make hearts and minds more difficult. now the alleged massacre in the district no less considered the birthplace of the taliban.
4:08 pm
we go to syria now. violent attacks have claimed at least 32 lives today. government forces were randomly shelling cities across syria. this comes just as talks between the former u.n. security general and syria's president ended without a peace deal. they are asking the syrian president for a cease fire and to allow nato to deliver aid. >> we have to have hope. i'm optimistic. i've been here for a short period. almost every syrian i've met wants peace. they want the violence to stop. they want to move on with their lives. >> opposition members agree that a plan for a resolution cannot begin as long as the bloodshed
4:09 pm
begi begins. >> a syrian neighborhood endured constant shelling. arwa damon set out to give us a view of what's taking place in syria that no one has seen before. here's her report. >> cnn's arwa damon is in a neighborhood that's endured constant shelling where civilians are killed and wounded every day. where a makeshift clinic tries to help. >> we're here with the doctor that's been on numerous youtube videos and now getting a firsthand look of what he and his team are up against. a 30-year-old man lies on the brink of death after slhrapnel hit him in the head.
4:10 pm
>> reporter: he will die if he doesn't get out. >> dr. muhammad is one of two doctors in the clinic. the other is actually a dentist. >> he's not a front line trained in emergency combat. he's an internal medicine specialist. and now, look at what he's dealing with. the kind of casualties he's dealing with. the way he's had to cope. and the fact that it's day in and day out, it's relentless. >> make sure you join for more of arwa damon's eye-opening tour through syria. 72 hours under fire, tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern. it's following this broadcast. time to talk some politics. rick santorum, newt gingrich battle it out in the deep south.
4:11 pm
both spent the day chris crossing mississippi and alabama. in an appearance on face the nation, gingrich was optimistic. all right. apparently that was not the right video. we'll get to that. there it is. >> we're going to get a lot of delegates in both mississippi and alabama. i think the odds are good we'll win them. we are campaigning in both alabama and mississippi today and tomorrow. we have had great reaction. great crowd response. we have good organization in both states. you're always playing catch up a little bit to romney because of the scale of his money and how early e he starts advertising, but the truth is, we caught up pretty dramatically. and i'm committed to going all the way to tampa. >> to santorum who took shots at mitt romney and gingrich during a stop. >> we must elect someone who can paint a clear contrast.
4:12 pm
not someone who is for obama care. not someone who was for a federal mandate for 20 years when he was speaker of the house. not someone who is going to give that issue away on climate change, on national security. >> tuesday's contests include caucuses in hawaii and american soem away. >> you have probably seen the words 2012 on it. the viral video about a war lord has gained a ground swell of support. but it's also faced some blistering criticism. we get into all that when invisible children join us next. ! concentrated relief that goes to work in seconds and freshens breath. new tums freshers. ♪ tum...tum...tum...tum... tums! ♪ [ male announcer ] fast relief, fresh breath, all in a pocket sized pack.

2012. it's hard to be on the internet and not hear about joseph kony. millions of people do know the name thanks to a video posted on youtube this week. as miguel march kez reports, that was the plan. >> reporter: it is a 30-minute video. it's hope to change the world. >> in order for it to work, you have to pay attention. >> reporter: wihat they want yo to pay attention to is joseph kony. he leads a group and his goal is to overthrow the uganda government. in his campaign, he's kidnapped more than 65,000 boys and girls, kids forcing them to maim fellow
4:16 pm
villagers and sometimes kill their own families. kony says he's doing it all in the name of god, but the children's stories paint a picture of hell on earth. cnn has covered it since the beginning. >> translator: we were forced to bite him with our bare teeth as he screamed in pain. we continued biting him until he was dead. >> reporter: russell and his charity invisible children are on a mission because of a promise he made to a boy in 2003. jacob was kidnapped by the lord's resistance army. his brother killed by it. >> after spending a few weeks with jacob, he told me something i would never forget. >> if possible, you can kill. >> you don't want to stay on earth? >> you would rather die than stay on earth? even now?
4:17 pm
>> even now. >> he told me more about his brother and what he would say to him if he were still alive. >> i love you. it is better -- we may meet in heaven. so it is better. >> all right. the film maker spotlighted joins me. jason russell directed the documentary that you have seen everywhere. there he is in the red shirt with kony on the shirt. joining him is ben keesy. with the sensation, there's naturally some criticism we're going to get to that in a
4:18 pm
moment. first, jason, this isn't your first film about kony. what did you do differently this time that made this one catch fire? >> well, i kept telling my close friends and my wife. my wife has written all the stories. i said this is the last one. i can't tell another one. i made 11 or 12 movies about ugandaen children crying. and i just -- i'm so angry. i'm so angry that 30 days ago when we set out to make this movie, it was birthed out of an anger. i can't do it anymore. i guess the world doesn't care unless they look like you. because it's their problem. it's their problem. it's not our problem. so that's how the movie came up. we just wanted to try it it not knowing it would catch fire, and it did. so of course, we're overwhelmed and so excited. >> jason, there are plenty of
4:19 pm
injustices, maybe not as great closer to home. many would wonder why aren't you addressing those? and you said you were angry. why has this story stuck with you over the years? i mean, what's in this story that hit a nerve with you in particular? i mean a young man from san diego. >> it's just really personal because i made the promise to jacob. so it's a personal trauma that is on camera. so i have to give testimony to the fact that i made a promise to jacob that we're going to stop them. i thought it would take maybe six months or less once people found out about this atrocity. i didn't think it would take a decade of me try iing. there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people who have tried and are trying still to do it. i just happen to be the messenger. so i've gone -- cnn has been covering it.
4:20 pm
they have been telling the same message. it's just this one has become very human because there's jacob in it. and there's my son in it. and there's me in it. it's just a human story. >> so ben, this film aims to make kony famous. so what is the next step in this process? >> exactly. exactly. the film is the beautiful entry point. and jason makes it so intentionally for a brand new audience. so now the next step, and the thing that invisible children is working on, is how do we connect this awareness to action and mobilization of resources from the international community to support the regional effort. to support the amazing people on the ground who are working every day both to get innocent women and children out of the l.r.a. safely. and then also deal with the top demanders like joseph kony once
4:21 pm
and for all. >> we saw the pictures of people disfigured. yesterday i spoke to a woman who was a survivor of joseph kony. so it has its share of critics, including a woman who was on our show yesterday. but jason and ben, i want you to stick around. i want you to address the criticisms coming. that's going to come up next. back after the break.

4:24 pm
if you're watching this broadcast, you're lucky because you're going to get information about kony 2012 that you haven't gotten before. a film about joseph kony, which se seeks to create a movement to stop him. jason russell is the cocreator of invisible children. you're facing some criticism for your film, as you know. first, does that surprise you? i'm sure it doesn't. does it surprise you? >> no. i don't think so. any time you do something that's public, people obviously are
4:25 pm
going to have questions. and especially when a film gets out there and people didn't know that invisible children had been existing for eight years before. there's plenty of other videos and deep, rich content and programs that are affecting people today. so the thing that we want to do -- >> hang on. we're going to get to all that. i just want to answer that question. does the criticism surprise you at all? >> it does a little bit. but it's about the heart of the issue. it's about the heart of the messenger. it's about that. and we're like, oh, wow, i didn't know there was that much tension. >> so here is the new information, the exclusive i just said. to address that criticism, you're doing something you hope to have it by midnight tonight. what are you doing? >> yeah. we're just going to release a 10-minute video that clicks through some of the questions
4:26 pm
where we say here's all the answers. here's the figures. there's nothing to hide. invisible children has been transparent since 2004 when we started. we want to show that this campaign is part of a strategy and a model that's comprehensive and we standby it. >> i want you to get the video up by midnight. you're learning that for the first time here. i want both of you to listen to evelyn. she's a survivor of joseph kony. here's what she said after viewing your film "konc 2012. listen. >> i feel really hurt because i don't know. it's not easy to be a survivor, but i'm glad i was able to escape. maybe the purpose is why i'm sitting here. and it's very painful for me to hear that joseph kony is right
4:27 pm
now in the united states a celebrity. the kids are the ones have been through a lot. >> ben? how do you answer? >> evelyn is a good friend of ours. she actually e-mailed us last night after the show and explained that a lot of her comments were related to the fact that joseph kony is not by himself. there's a lot of innocent women and children that are near him. so any approach to stop the l.r.a. needs to be sensitive to that. they need to do everything possible to protect the innocent women and children. that's something we have been saying since the beginning also. that's absolutely the mission and the point of this campaign. >> okay. go ahead, jason. >> the intention is built into the name. to make the invisible, visible. so of course, we want the children to be visible. that's the point. but because of the cull in the
4:28 pm
world, we need an enemy. we need to know who the worst is. and the world has already agreed. we didn't make it up. the international criminal court said the first is joseph kony because he's the most proverse in the world. no one makes anyone else take children, makes them kill their parents and eat their parents. >> okay. >> that's what's going on. he's been doing that. >> okay. i want you to listen to some people who live in uganda, their reaction. >> you turned peoples' problems into their businesses. it's unfortunate that we can have people who are choosing peoples' problems? >> how can they use the situation of war to benefit themselves to make money out of peoples' plight. >> okay. they think that you are becoming
4:29 pm
famous and making a name off of other peoples plight. the merchandising and what have you. what do you say to them? >> i think more than making ourself famous, we're trying to make joseph kony famous what's important to remember also is now that he's no longer in uganda, we spent a lot of time in the current affected areas in the congo. and i was just there a couple months ago. those communities are asking with a lot of passion and energy, please keep talking about joseph kony. even though he's in a weakened state, the organization is still wreaking havoc on hundreds of thousands of people. so it's not a spent force. we use the fact it's a weakened state, it's a good thing. now we need to follow through and permanently disarm the l.r.a.
4:30 pm
>> we deal with time issues here. the money is going to the organization? you're not becoming rich off of these donations? >> correct. all of "kony 2012" is under our nonprofit. >> it's not our money. we don't view it that way. we view it as the children's money. the youth of the world has funded this. >> i have to ask you this quickly. there has been criticism that says joseph kony is somewhere in congo and therefore, you're putting the people at risk for retaliation for doing this. this movie should have been done ten years ago instead of now. >> i totally agree. i totally agree. don, what do you think about that? >> what are you doing to help the other places? it's not in uganda anymore.
4:31 pm
if you're putting them in jeopardy, i just want to know what your response is? >> if you go to the l.r.a. crisis tracker, you can find it online. lracrisistracker.com. we have an app for that. you can download it. you can look right now in realtime. if you're watching cnn, get out your phone and download it. >> you ask me what i thought about it. i think in an effort -- i think information is good. this is my opinion. >> but true information. >> it's a green light to a situation, i think, that's great. it would be great if people are impassioned to find out where other dictators are and use your model to bring light. but i think in the criticism that you have take tennessee here. you're going to respond to it, so i think that's great as well. continue to do that. as long as you're not hiding anything, i think it's good information. so i have to ask you about this

4:36 pm
imagine this was happening to someone who looked like you. a new study conducted in ten cities in the u.s. found hiv rates for black women are much higher than previousliest mated. five times higher than the numbers recorded by the cdc. joining me to talk about is is the study investigator, dr. carlos del rio. first, tell me why do you think this study is so important? how did you choose the women and what does it show to you? >> i think the study is important because we have had a lot of difficulty understanding why african-american women have such a higher risk compared to white women. there's a 15% higher risk. and in this country, about 25% of new infections occur in women. yet understanding why that racial and ethnic disparity exists has not been clear.
4:37 pm
the study has recruited women in high risk of hiv and looked at what happened to them. we found several things. one of the most important findings is i think that what puts this woman at risk are the factors. it's substance abuse, poverty, it's a series of factors that are more common in african-americans. so it's not that they get hiv because they are african-american. it's all the other factors that simply make it hard for them to avoid hiv. >> so african-american women are at the top of the list. especially at new infection risks. so how did you choose the specific cities? and why not big cities like l.a. or chicago or something like that? >> it's based on data that cdc has of areas that we know there's a higher proportion of
4:38 pm
hiv infections occurring in women. it's primarily in the eastern united states where we see a higher rate of women. the epidemic in san francisco is among gay men. so the other cities chosen for a variety of reasons, but most importantly because they are the most affected areas of the country for women. an important topic to also remember is yesterday was women and girls hiv awareness day. it really highlights the importance that e we need to put in trying to get prevention. there's a new campaign. we need to encourage african-american women that the first step is to know your status. you have to know if you're infected or in the. we found 32 women during the study enrollment period who were hiv infected and lived in communities yet didn't know it. if they are hiv negative, they have to use prevention. >> i have a couple things really quickly. you mentioned it was because of
4:39 pm
lifestyle. you said because of drug use and what have you. does it have anything to do with dating men who are not revealing their statuses? they are not revealing that they are gay. does that factor into that? >> it probably does. and it probably does because there's higher rates of infection in men. and that plays into this. >> you said that the numbers of hiv in these cities were comparable with parts of sub sahara africa. >> and we're right here in the district of columbia. it would be one of the most affected countries if it were in
4:40 pm
africa. the epidemic in the u.s. is not gone. it's here, but it's affecting the forgotten population. the poor and the ones who are not paying attention to. we need to do renewed efforts. the aids conference is happening in july to confront the epidemic. >> that's going to be big. i have to go, but i have to ask you. the stigma, does that have anything to do with it? >> it has always had something to do with the epidemic. it's one of the most difficult things to deal with. >> important study. we appreciate you joining us here on cnn. thank you. >> thank you so much. a new story now about cell phones. a man in philadelphia was so bothered by people around him talking that he found a way to block them. that story is ahead. pickups on the road. yeah, sure, what you said, tim. man: [ thinking ] just look at the chrome on that custom sport. makes you feel all good inside, doesn't it? mm.
