taking action, saving the day. good morning. welcome to "early start," i'm christine romans. >> i'm john berman. it's friday, april 5th. we will start with missiles on the move. a short time ago, a u.s. official told cnn that north korea is hiding a second missile along its east coast that missile and its launch components were transferred in the last few days close enough to strike south korea and japan. this apparent deployment comes along with escalating rhetoric from the north which accuses the u.s. of pushing the region to the brink of war. jim clancy has more from seoul, south carolina. >> reporter: u.s. and south korean military sources are firm. they believe that north korea is planning a test missile firing. speculation in the media suggest suggests it may be a missile developed with russian help by the north koreans and has a

range between 3,000 and 4,000 kilometers. that's significant, because it would put not only south korea but japan and usa.s. air and nal bases on guam at risk. but this is more likely a test to provoke pyongyang's foes. here is what victoria newman had to say. when you have a country making the bellicose threats they're making, when you have ally and treaty commitments you have to take it seriously. there is no other choice, she said. so the u.s. already has ships in the region including a radar platform. south korea is said to be moving its own spy ships into the waters off the korean peninsula to monitor developments. now, it may also be an opportunity for the north koreans to show off their

military, their ballistic military technology. it is precisely this kind of technology that they sell to iran and other countries to earn export income. jim clancy, cnn, seoul. >> developing over night, the cooling system at the fukushima nuclear power plant is up and running again after it failed. tokyo power system signaled an alarm when it stopped working. this was the system's second failure in a month. new this morning, a psychiatrist who treated suspected shooter james holmes warned police a month before the massacre that he was a danger to the public. documents released this week showed dr. lynn fenton, a psychiatrist with the university of colorado, contacted a campus officer about holmes. an affidavit said holmes stopped seeing dr. fenton. the district attorney of kaufman county, texas was

shopping for guns the day before he and his wife were found shot to death in his home. according to the store's owner, mike mclelland was not shopping for himself but for others. funeral services will be held for mike and cynthia mclelland. a memorial service for the couple was held yesterday. the manhunt continues this morning in colorado for two white supremacists in connection with the state's prison chief, tom clemens. he was gunned down in his home last month. a clerical error allowed the man accused of killing him to get out early. but in an exclusive interview, clemens widow and two daughters say they want the focus to be on the hero victim, not the killer or killers. >> reporter: with the courage and strength most of us could only help for, lisa clemens, wed

d widow of tom clemens, sat down with her daughters and anderson coop coop cooper. >> what do you want people to know about your husband? >> there's been so much about who he was, his career, and what he did in corrections. certainly he had a significant impact and was a leader in his field. for me, much more significant is the integrity of the person that i know and love. and and that he really, truly cared about other people. >> reporter: something she saw in tom from an early age. >> he met you when you were 19? >> yes. >> at school? >> yes. >> what was it about you that drew you to him? >> so, he is -- he's fun, he's kind, and passionate about life. so, at a very early age that was

ve very -- very interesting to me. >> reporter: tom clemens loved the outdoors in colorado and hiking with his daughters. as the public focuses on his career, sarah and rachel see a different man. >> he is my hero. he intervened in my life so many times, just really changed my path. i just want people to know that, you know, he's my dad. >> i would like people to see how he lived his life, and that that is so much more important than how he died. that he lived his life with such passion and such compassion for other people. >> reporter: in his professional life that compassion extended to the inmates in his prisons, and even though it appears one of those very prisoners gunned him down, his wife is already searching for forgiveness. >> i've heard tom in our years together so many times talk about victims with whom he's

spoken, who describe their entire lives falling apart, their marriages falling apart, health falling apart because of the rage and the lack of forgiveness towards the person who harmed their loved one or took the life of their loved one. conversely, victims with whom he's spoken who simply said i have to let go so i can live my life and that's -- that's what i choose. >> reporter: though it appears her husband's killer was released from prison early due to a clerical error, she vows not to let resentment or hatred dominate her life. >> for the rest of my days i could be angry that someone made a mistake and didn't capture what a judge conveyed verbally. but it won't bring tom back. then my life is lost in that. and my ability to be a good mother to my children. so -- so i choose not to make it a focus. >> reporter: a choice to let the light chase away the darkness. >> there's a scripture talking

about when darkness overtakes the godly, light comes bursting through. and i think that that scripture captures exactly what i would like people to know about tom. that that horrific night and, you know, the sound of that doorbell and all that happened was -- it just was an unmentionable darkness, but i -- i trust that people will see light coming through. that they'll see that a man lived a good life and peoples lives are impacted by that. >> reporter: a light that will be remembered long after his killer is forgotten. jim spellman, cnn, denver. >> what incredible strength. >> always so impressed when people can talk in a situation like that. sole we

washington and seoul. these joint military maneuvers are the focal point of all of this. these always perturb north korea. this is something the u.s. and south korea want to maintain. they want to stand up to north korea and its threats. the north koreans want to send the message that we can come right back, we will do something that we know you don't like, that's launch one of our missiles, or now perhaps two missiles. this is said to be a musudan missile that is not well tested. that's not been confirmed by south korea's defense ministry. tested or not, if it goes into this phase, if they fire it, it will cause everyone else to react. react they did. this is the state department spokeswoman. >> when you have a country that is making the kinds of bellicose threats they are making and

taking the steps they are taking, when you have allies and treaty commitments, you have to take it seriously. you don't have any other choice. >> reporter: don't have any other choice, but look at the range of this middle. 4,000 kilometers, that means japan, guam, and of course south korea are all within range. no one expects north korea to aim it at any of them. but they expect it to try to show off its ballistic missile technology and perhaps win some more sales. there's always the hope, like other launches, the north korean's missiles are not all that reliable. it could also blow up on the launchpad. back to you. >> north korea accusing the u.s. of pushing the region to the brink of war, saying the u.s. is the problem here. the u.s. is trying to -- i don't know, step back. is there room for diplomacy in is there room to cool this whole thing down? >> there is always room for

h7n9, six people dead, more than 12 infected at this point in southeast china. no idea exactly where it comes from. this is the first time humans have been infected by it. one important bit of good news at this point is that there's no indication that people can transmit it to each other. they need to find what caused it and develop a vaccine as soon as they can. >> david, we heard bird flu before for years coming from china. what is different about this strain? >> well, what's different about it is the fact it's a new strain in terms of infecting people, also it's a very severe strain. more severe than some other strains of bird flu. it's very severe respiratory illness, people have died quite quickly who have contracted this. no evidence that people can transmit this to each other, but hong kong and regional airports looking closely at chinese

korea has moved a second midrange missile to its east coast. you know, what sort of message does that send? and how much of these actions are aimed at impressing people in their own country rather than a threat to other countries? >> well, of course, it's always for that domestic audience. but we can say, this is a message that he wants to send to the world. for everybody to see. the u.s. and south korea can have these huge military maneuvers every year but little tiny north korea, the hermit kingdom, can still make a superpower turn around and jump and make moves. why? well listen to victoria nuland, the state department spokeswoman. >> when you have a country that is making the kinds of bellicose threats that they are making, and taking the steps that they are taking, and when you have allies in treaty commitments, you have to take it serious. you don't have any other choice. >> all right. let's take a look at a map, john, explain why.

it's believed that this is going to be a musudan missile, medium range, 4,000 kilometers. that would include not only south korea, but japan and u.s. air and naval bases on guam. that's why the u.s. has moved some special radar platforms, anti-missile systems, into guam. two years ahead of schedule. that's why the south koreans are moving their spy ships. that's why the u.s. has two destroyers off the coast of the peninsula here. there's a lot of things that north korea thinks it can show the world with this. back to you. >> jim, north korea is accusing the u.s. of pushing the region to the brink of war. the u.s., it seems, really trying to step back from that. is there room for diplomacy here? yeah, there's room for diplomacy but it's going to be really, really difficult. everybody knows north korea is the one that's pushing it. these are annual exercises and every year north korea reacts. this is kim jong-un's only second year, i believe, where

he's in this. so, diplomacy is possible, certainly, but think of what has to be overcome. there's no record. diplomacy has been an abysmal failure in the past. he's got prison camps holding everyone. there's all kinds of issues that are going to block the way the u.s. has signaled it's willing, it's open, to continue. john, back to you. >> all right, thanks, jim clancy in seoul, south korea. developing overnight. all systems go at japan's crippled fukushima power plant after the cooling system went down for several hours. it's designed to keep spent adomic fuel cool. this is the second failure in a month. documents show a psychiatrist who treated colorado shooting suspect james holmes warned police holmes was danger a month before the massacre. the psychiatrist contacted a compass officer about holmes and warned he had made homicidal statements. the newly released affidavit

rachel and sarah, sat down with cnn's anderson cooper. >> what do you want people to know about your husband? >> that there's so much being said about who he was, and his career, and what he did in corrections. and certainly he had a significant impact, and he was a leader in his field. but for me, much more significant, is the integrity of the person that i know and love. and that he really, truly cared about other people. >> something she saw in tom from an early age. >> you met when you were 19? >> yes. >> at school. >> yes. >> what was it about him that drew you to him? >> he is fun. he's kind. and passionate about life. and so at a very early age, i

was very -- it was very interesting to me. >> tom clements loved the outdoors in colorado and hiking with his daughters. as the public focuses on his career, sarah and rachel see a different man. >> he was my hero. he intervened in my life so many times and just really changed my path, that i just want people to know that, you know, he's my dad. >> i would like to see how he lived his life, and that that is so much more upon than how he died. that he loved his life with such passion, and such compassion for other people. >> in his professional life, that compassion extended to the inmates in his prison. and even though it appears that one of those very prisoners gunned him down, his wife is already searching for forgiveness. >> i've heard tom in our years together so many times talk about victims, who describe their entire lives falling apart, their marriages falling

apart, their health falling apart because of the rage, and the lack of forgiveness. toward the person who harmed their loved one or took the life of their loved one. and conversely, victims with whom we've spoken who simply said i have to let go so i can live my life. and that's what i choose. >> though it appears her husband's killer was released from prison early due to a clerical error, she vows to not let resentment or hatred dominate her life. >> for the rest of my days, i could be angry that someone made a mistake and didn't capture what a judge conveyed. but it won't bring tom back. and then my life is lost in that, and my ability to be a good mother to my children. so -- so i choose not to make it a focus. >> a choice to let the light chase away the darkness. >> in scripture they're talking about when darkness overtakes the godly, light comes bursting

through. and i think that -- that scripture captures exactly what i would like people to know about tom. that that horrific night, and, you know the sound of that doorbell, and all that happened, was just unmentionable darkness. but, i -- i trust that people will see light coming through. they'll see that a man lived a good life and people's lives were impacted by that. >> a light that will be remembered long after his killer is forgotten. jim spellman, cnn, denver. president obama's upcoming budget expected to include cuts to medicare and social security, along with some new tax increases. it will be unveiled wednesday. white house officials said the cuts are meant to show the president is willing to compromise with republicans. it includes an offer president

obama made to house speaker john boehner of $400 billion in savings to medicare over ten years. the white house hopes this will help kick-start talks on a long-term deficit reduction view. >> all right it's the most important factor in the economy. the jobs market. and your ability to get and keep a job. we're going to know more about that in about 2 1/2 hours when we get the jobs report for march. we're expecting to hear about 190,000 jobs were created last month. that's not as good as february when job growth took a surprise by surprise and was more than 200,000. we have been adding jobs for almost 2.5 years but slowly and in the past week or so there have been reports on manufacturing, jobless claims, another private sector employment report came in a little weak. so the estimates for march have been dialed back. as for the unemployment rate. that's what the chart looks like. we're expecting it to hold at 7.7%. you can see it's been improving since it hit that peak in 2009. but it has been a slow improvement. i'm going to have the report at 8:30 a.m. eastern time and i can't stress enough, john, how important it is the jobs market

get healthy because you cannot really have economic growth that everyone shares in if you don't have a more robust job. >> every one of these reports, huge news. nine minutes after the hour, if you are rating the career of roger ebert it would have to get two thumbs up. the legendary film critic died yesterday after a long battle with cancer. he was 70 years old. he became a household name reviewing films on television, first with long time colleague jim siskel. later with richard rope err. >> with roger what you saw or read in his blog, what you saw is what you got. that was roger. he was a larger than life guy. he had a great passion for the movies. you mention how long he's been doing this. when i joined the show he had already been a film critic for 30 years. he had already reviewed literally 10,000 movies, and he would still get excited every time the lights went down and the curtains parted in the screening room. he was always rooting for a movie to be good. but if it wasn't good, you'd

know about it. >> he says working with roger ebert was like winning the lottery every day. >> surveillance video you just have to see from the airport in honolulu, hawaii. a woman barging into the security checkpoint area, and she was attacking a female tsa agent. then out of nowhere. >> boom. >> california police officer jumps a barrier to rescue the agent, and body slam the suspect. the hero cop, justin rogers, says hey, he was waiting to go through the body scanner on his way back from vacation. apparently well-rested and alert because he heard the commotion. >> police officer or not, the woman was being assaulted. she was defenseless, had her arms up trying to defend herself, and somebody really needed to help her, and luckily i was close enough to be able to help her out. >> the tsa says rogers' actions, coupled with the quick response by airport security, assured that the integrity of the airport's sterile area was maintained, minimizing disruptions to the traveling public. >> happy for the integrity of

the airport's sterile area. we're just chock full of amazing video today. talk about the nick of time. searchers find a missing hiker clinging for clear life to the side of a canyon. we're going to have details on the rescue next in a live report. hey!

firm. they believe that north korea is planning a test missile firing. speculation in the media suggests maybe a musudan missile. one that was developed with russian help by the north koreans and has a change between 3,000 and 4,000 kilometers. now that's significant because it would put not only south korea, but japan, and u.s. air and naval bases on guam at risk. but no one thinks that north korea is planning to attack any of those targets. this is more likely a test to provoke pyongyang's -- here's what victoria nuland, a spokeswoman for the u.s. state department had to say. when you have a country that is making the kinds of bellicose threats that they are making, and taking the steps that they are taking, and when you have allies in treaty commitments, you have to take it seriously. there is no other choice, she said. and so the u.s. already has ships in the region, including a
