from cnn center, this is cnn saturday morning. it is saturday, april 6th. good morning. i'm miguel marquez. north yeea, a pair of missiles are on launchers. issuing a written statement. in the arias murder trial. we'll tell you what it says. number down to the final four. one of them will leave atlanta

with the title national champion. north korea has a frank warning for diplomats there. if war breaks out, we cannot guarantee your safety. this comes as tensions with south korea and the u.s. intensify. the north has reportedly loaded missiles on to mobile launchers along its country's east coast. what's next? let's bring in elise labott in washington. elise? >> miguel, the administration is really trying to cool things down, even as north korea is making these threats and telling people to get out of north korea, because they can't guarantee their safety. the obama administration is really trying to, as you said, not make things get any hotter. the state department, secretary of state john kerry is saying that the u.s. needs a deterrent but also needs a diplomatic way forward. what secretary kerry will be doing when he goes to asia later this week is talk to south

korea, japan and china about trying to find what they call a diplomatic off-ramp for north korea. how do you move off this rhetoric, calm things down and get to a place where they can actually talk to the north koreans? >> made it sound like this was a lot about -- internal situation with north korea, kim jong un, trying to consolidate his power there and less about the -- >> there's a cyclical pattern to north korea's behavior. kim jong un is young. he needs to solidify his power base not just in the military but among the people and show that he's the kind of powerful leader that his father, kim jong il was. what analysts say, diplomatic sources say that they think kim jong un has done that. what happens now? the u.s. is expecting some kind of action from north korea, launching these missiles on to

the launchers. could it be a missile test, nuclear test? the u.s. is hoping that would be a kind of minimum. what they're hoping for is cross voter action with south korea that would force the south korean military to respond and then it escalates. they're really hoping that the north koreans made their point, have shown they have more leverage, if they were to get back to talks and hoping that calmer heads will prevail. >> certainly a hair trigger if any sort of mistake happens. there are, what, 28,000 u.s. troops right on the border there? >> that's right. not only are they worried about some kind of launch that might hit somebody. these missiles on the launchers could hit japan, south korea and certainly u.s. forces there. but they're also concerned about any kind of miscalculation. for instance, earlier last week, there was a north korean defector that tried to get into south korea. what if north korea, in hot pursu pursuit, tries to follow him and

fires across the border? that's when things get out of control. since north korea has cut off all communications with south korea and with the united states joint command there, don't overreact. they're afraid there will be some kind of miscalculation and things will spiral out of control. >> very bad time for a small incident. thank you, elise labott in washington, d.c. >> sure. nelson mandela is back home. he was zmargeed from the hospital earlier today. the 94-year-old was admitted to the hospital for recurring lungs infection and pneumonia. faa says it will delay closing 149 smaller regional control towers. the new deadline is june 15th. because of those mandated across-the-board budget cuts, losing $637 million in federal funding. that forces its decision to close those towers. immigration and custom

enforcement will have to change the way it does home searches. ice agents have been accused of forcing their way into homes during raids on long island in 2006 and 2007. activists call this a victory for latinos, who filed the lawsuit. in texas, police are taking every threat seriously following the killings of two state prosecutors and the wife of one. someone called in a bomb threat the night before hundreds gathered for the funerals of mike mclelland and his wife, cynthia. so far, police have arrested two men for threatening officials, but say they have nothing to do with the murders. our martin savidge is in texas, following up on the case. martin, how do these threats relate to the case of the murders? >> reporter: directly, they don't, miguel. indirectly, they are, of course, considered to be very important. law enforcement won't take any threats against police officer,

sheriff's deputy or any county official lightly in light of the fact that three officials have been killed in the last two months. this investigation now is very tight lipped. they are not saying much about where it is going or who may be suspect. there have been absolutely no arrests. that, we can point out, directly tied to the murder investigation. three primary avenues we have heard being investigated, one is that it could be a white supremacist group. there have been investigations and prosecutions in this county. some suggest it could be drug cart cartels because this is a high drug trafficking area. others say it could be just sn somebody with a beef. right now, authorities are not speaking. the investigation, you can bet, is heavily under way, miguel. >> two texas prosecutors killed and then the colorado official killed, white supremacists involved. in both states you're not hearing anything about any sort of link between the two, are you? >> reporter: well, you know, i was just up there, covering the killing of tom clements, talking to investigators there.

they do say that they had been in contact with investigators down here. do they think there's a link? too early to tell. they certainly do believe it's probably good practice that the two departments keep in touch. from time to time, they do sort of compare notes. right now, no direct link is being made. they're keeping the lines of communication open. >> officials say the kaufman county district attorney had been asking for guns for his staff before his death. do we know if he had been threatened before? >> reporter: this goes back and forth. there are people in this community who say he felt he was threatened. he felt that the threats sometimes were coming to white supremacy groups and others say they weren't quite sure who he felt threatened by. he went to the gun store the day before he was murdered. he was looking primarily for security for his staff, felt very worried for them. the gun shop owner was asked, did mclelland say he was fearful for his own life and the gun

shop owner said, no, he never made any mention about himself. >> what are things like there, martin? you're on the ground. this is a small texas town or people are waiting for something to break in this case? >> reporter: you get a couple of sort of emotions that you feel here. definitely, people are in deep mourning. this is quite a shock. it is a relatively rural area, quite close to dallas. still it's a tight-knit community. three murders here and that's pretty shocking to a lot of people. some people are getting guns. some people are fearful. on top of that, there is this iron will determination that they are going to find those who are responsible. no shortage of research here because they realize -- i think it's governor perry who summed it up best at the memorial service who said attacks like these are sort of a direct attack on the core of civil society. miguel? >> martin savidge, thank you.

about now. wichita state taking on louisville. by the way, if you don't know what a shocker is, that's wichita state's nickname. shocking is what they do to wheat in kansas. the number one favorite, number one seed, louisville, also the favorite here in atlanta because of the fact of kevin ware and the horrific injury that occurred against duke sunday. that's the early game. night game, syracuse taking on michigan. jim beheim taking on syracuse. no coach here has won more game than jim boeheim. in fact, no coach in the history of ncaa has won more games than jim boeheim. great offense with michigan taking on a great two-three defense of syracuse. that's the close game. they're saying that is the main event tonight.

♪ it was the best day whoo! yes!

♪ it was the best day ♪ ♪ it was the best day yeah! ♪ it was the best day ♪ because of you [sigh] [echoing] we make a great pair. huh? progressive and the great outdoors -- we make a great pair. right, totally, uh... that's what i was thinking. covering the things that make the outdoors great. now, that's progressive. call or click today.

former cia director david petraeus got a visit at home from the fbi. they interviewed him outside his home yesterday, looking to see whether he had passed classified documents to his mistress, paula broadwell. last week, he apologized for the hurt caused by his affair. rutgers university scandal claims another victim. this time, athletic director tim pernetti resigned reluctantly over this, the former head

basketball coach physically and verbally abusing his players. he admits he should have fired mike rice. instead, he only suspended him. >> it's a really sad day for a lot of people, including me and my family. and, you know, i always have and i always will, no matter what, want what's best for rutgers. >> now earlier, i spoke with andy scholls of cnn sports about pernetti's resignation and what he meant to the program. >> jon wolfe also resigned and he was part of that decision-making process that they were going through when they were discussing rice, what to do with him. they kicked around a ten-game suspension, kicked around firing and settled on that three-game suspension. i guess that's another reason why jon wolfe, along with tim pernetti resigned yesterday. >> are there conspiracy theories that this video was hidden for

fear of hurting rutgers chances of participating? >> i'm not buying that. they were accepted. november 27th is when the investigation was started into rice and the big 10 commissioner said this had no bearing whether they got in or not and it doesn't matter now either. >> reports now that some of the big donors are pulling their money back, at least temporarily. what are you hearing? >> pernetti was popular amongst the big donors at rutgers. a few of them have said we're holding off on more money in the future because we're not happy how this was handled. that may not be a big hit for them right now. they are going to the big 10 and annual revenue from sports will go from $3 million to over $40 million by the year 2017. that's a big difference. >> thanks to cnn sports andy scholes as word comes that north

korea is loading missiles on to launchers, what comes next? is the u.s. taking these threats seriously?

new video out of north korea does nothing to calm the tensions there. missiles being fired from north korea's coast. there's no indication of when the video was shot or if it's even real. two medium range missiles have been confirmed to have been loaded on launchers on north korea's east coast. i spoke with former u.s. ambassador to south korea and lead negotiator on north korea,

christopher hill and former adviser to president obama on nuclear issues and asked ambassador hill why the u.s. describes the launch as just a tes test. >> certainly the movements we've seen, type of vehicles, et cetera, are consistent with the test launch. also, i don't believe these missiles have ever been fired before. i think most analysts believe this is, indeed, a test launch. and it may be the sort of crescendo the north koreans are looking for as they get through april and as the u.s., south korean exercise comes to an end. >> how advanced are they? maybe not really sophisticated. are they really up to a 20th century fight? >> we believe they were based on an old soviet design, an old submarine launch ballistic

missiles. as the ambassador whose the real expert on the korean peninsula noted they've never been tested. they may just be for show. we're not going to see a sudden launch. they have to be erected, fueled. that could take hours, days. if we were truly worried, we could launch air strikes while these missiles are on the launch pad. the missile intercepters that you are seeing deployed actually have little reference to this. missile intercepters we're going to deploy in guam, short and medium range missiles. a lot of this is for show. >> obviously, with 29,000 u.s. troops nearby, though, all of this is of concern. is that just a ploy to get ot r others involved? >> it looks like they're trying to hike the notion that there's danger in the peninsula caused by the u.s. i've never heard of this kind of

thing before, to tell embassies to run for your lives and the embassies saying, no, we're fine right here. it is really an example of this bizarre north korean propaganda. >> it sounds like this has a lot to do more with internal politics and less so with external politics. what is the end game, in your mind? >> we've stood firm, reassured our allies. we're now working with china. we've drawn clear limits for north korea. you can't get into this bluster, counterbluster game. north korea can out-crazy us. number of things they could do like this stunt on running embassies to evacuate. don't respond to these.

particularly as the exercises between the u.s. and south korea calm down that you might be able to walk this crisis back and get the parties to the negotiating table. >> mr. ambassador, there's a -- is it as simple as that? >> i wish it were. the chinese probably have limitations as to what they can do with the north koreans. limitations as to what they can do. china is split on the subject. those in china feel they don't want to push them and others who would like to be rid of them. clearly, china has moved somewhat in recent weeks, that china can be helpful in bringing the north koreans back from the

brink. at least we could kind of get through this crisis of the last few weeks. >> new years of military action, but not so many old memories. as tom foremen explains in today's american journey, the korean war has long been considered a forgotten conflict even when it was front page news. the korean war was a complicated affair from the start in 1950. battle over whether the korean peninsula, divided by world war ii would be reunited under a democratic or communist government. north's invasion of the south spurred world powers to join the fight and in short order almost 2 million american troops found themselves facing little-known enemies in a little-known land. patrick o'donnell is a combat historian and author of "give me

tomorrow." >> these men in the 1950, 1951 had to go against 20-1 odds in some cases against the chinese army. they had to fight the temperature, which dropped 30 to 40 below zero. they also did it with inferior weapons. >> conditions were worsened, in a sense, by the outcome. after three hard years, the war ended essentially where it began, with the north, the south and not peace. just an uneasy agreement to stop fighting. the historian bruce cummings. >> americans didn't really understand the war and veterans came home not to difficult circumstances like the veterans of the vietnam war, but rather to a country that didn't really know where korea was on the map and wasn't sure what the war had been about. >> these days, a great many americans don't really know much about the korean war. it has become the providence of historians and old soldiers. >> who are you? >> captain benjamin franklin

pierce. who are you? >> american consciousness of it has been shaped more by the tv show "m.a.s.h." than any reality. only a third of those who served in the korean conflict are still alive, making it almost certain the forgotten war will stay that way. tom foremen, cnn, washington. >> prices vary from store to store. when it comes to prescription drugs, that difference could be hundreds of dollars. find out how to get the best deal on your medications. try running four.ning a restaurant is hard, fortunately we've got ink. it gives us 5x the rewards on our internet, phone charges and cable,

you know those portrait studios and stores that take pictures like this? many of them are fading into memory. more than 2,000 portrait studios in stores like sears and walmart are out of business. digital photos cut into sales. some workers who ran the studios said they had no notice that they were losing their jobs. if your health insurance doesn't cover prescriptions, you know you're going to have to pay a lot. however, where you get your meds could cost you even more. consumer reports check prices at top pharmacies to compare prices. cvs the most expensive and costco's pharmacy had the least expensive prices. lipitor, lexapro, plavix, actos

and singulair. another example, cvs is $180, at costco, $15. i asked lisa gill about the huge difference between the drug prices. >> i have to say, we've been doing this secret shopper survey a number of years and this was the most shocking -- actually, really most surprising results we've ever seen. those price differences do reflect at least two different things. stores use their pharmacies kind of different ways. some stores like rite aid, cvs, they're meant to generate a lot of revenue, a lot of profit for the stores. and that's fine. you kind of see it reflected in high prices. stores like costco, walmart, sam's club, they really try to bring in traffic through having lower prices in the hope that people will buy maybe other things. the other difference, too, is

that cvs and rite aid are so convenient. you really pay for that convenience. those pharmacies are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. they're on every corner in the united states practically. with a store like costco, even though you'll pay such lower prices, you'll have to really plan your visit. pharmacies close at 8:00 or 8:30 at night and they're not open on sundays. you can see the difference there. >> according to your surveys, three most expensive pharmacies are cvs, rite aid and target. cheapest were familymeds.com, healthwa healthwarehouse.com and costco. cvs told us the following. quote, pricing surveys do not accurately reflect what most pharmacy customers pay for their prescriptions and are not effective in accurately comparing prices. a random price check of only five drugs is too small to draw meaningful conclusions about which pharmacies offer the best value overall for its customers.

do you agree? is your survey an accurate representation of market prices across the board? >> we made over 200 phone calls to pharmacies all around the united states, called independent mom and pop pharmacies, large big box stores like sam's club and costco. we called target, walmart, walgreen walgreen's, cvs, rite aid, posing as a regular consumer. what my fwrand mother might face in indiana, calling around to local pharmacies, trying to get a price on very popular medications. that's why we chose those medications. millions of people take these drugs every month. and in many cases can't afford them. so one of the things we were surprised to find out -- cvs has an interesting point. except that when we called nearly a dozen cvs's around the country, they all quoted us a price of $149.99 and only one pharmacist mentioned to us, but you might be able to get a discount if you came in the store. so, considering that a regular

consumer trying to compare prices over the telephone find such incredible price differences, i think, is very notable and worth considering when you're shopping for medication. >> now, the parents of the woman who admitted to killing her boyfriend open up in a just released police interrogation video. you won't believe what jodi arias' parents had to say about their own daughter. we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ she can't always move the way she wants. now you can. with stayfree ultra thins. flexible layers move with your body

now to the jodi arias trial and newly released surveillance video of jodi arias' parents being interviewed back in 2008. they admitted that their daughter was strange, quote, had mental problems and that she often just freekd out for no reason at all and that she needed to get help. take a listen. >> jodi has mental problems. jodi would freak out all the time. i had quite a few of her friends call me and tell me that i needed to get her some help.

we don't have any relationship, me and jodi. she would totally flip out on me. one of her friends called me, called us in the middle of the night and said you need to get jodi help. >> earlier, i asked jane velez-mitchell what she thought about the admissions on that tape. >> well, miguel, they're absolutely damning. this detective is telling jodi arias' mother and father that they have overwhelming evidence that jodi committed a horrific killing and their response is not oh, no way. that could never happen. you must have the wrong person. there's a mistake here. no. their response is that oh, jodi is a troubled person. she's always been a troubled person. friends have described her as possibly being bipolar. so, the fact is that jodi's own mother admits to cops that she questioned her about where she was, asking her daughter, did you go to arizona, which is where travis alexander lived, and the cop says oh, you were suspicious? she said of course. >> the jury is never going to

see these tapes, though, correct? >> it doesn't appear that way. they've had them for the longest time, obviously, since right before the killing occurred. i think it would have come up already. they are very prejudicial. there's a problem with that as well. juror number five was dismissed from the trial earlier this week and showed up in court thursday as an observer. what's going on here? is this bizarre? >> this is wild! and she's known as two-tone because of her hair color, which appears blond and pink. this woman was kicked off the jury. and then after issuing a statement saying, please respect my privacy and respect the process, something very important is going on here, she shows up in court, causing an uproar. some people are speculating, could she be possibly writing a book or is she so mesmerized by this trial that she can't stay

away? of course, she could watch it on hln. so that's no excuse. lot of speculation when she was kicked off, jodi arias came out grinning and the victim's sister was sobbing. some people read into that. there were other indications maybe she was pro jodi. who knows. juan martinez, prosecutor, is finally getting to his cross. it was fireworks from the beginning. everybody wondered how he was going to go at the abuse specialist and a woman up on the stand. he's not holding back. is it in his interest to do it this way? >> this is a verbal slug fest. it's a jaw dropper. he is yelling at her. she's talking about, are you mad at me? i mean, this is hostility out there in the open. and here is the thing. some people are like, he's coming on too strong. she's a likable, middle-aged woman. but she is throwing the victim, travis alexander, under the bus. she's tainting this man who is not here to defend himself as

extremely abusive, verbally cruel. she's taking jodi's claims at face value that travis alexander hit her and choked her. we have no independent corroboration. the prosecutor is speaking for the victim and the victim's family and he has to, has to go after this woman. >> stay up to speed on the arias trial with jane velez-mitchell. you can catch her program on our sister network at 7:00 eastern week nights. now to the ncaa basketball championship. huge weekend in atlanta. centennial park transformed for final four weekend. free concerts, big names including sting, dave matthews band, ludicris and much more. michelle turner has a preview. >> this is what's called the big

android operating system. it's called facebook home. it will be preinstalled on the htc phone along with the facebook app and messenger appss. all you have to do is turn it on to enjoy the experience. >> are there any new or different features on the phone? >> yes, one of the new thing you can use without even unlocking your phone is the cover feed. it's a live and in realtime always in motion slide show of all the things that are going on on the news feed. so photos and updates from friends and you can like them or interact with them without even unlocking your phone. another one that's getting a the lo of attention are the chat heads. wherever you are on your phone whether you're searching the web or playing a game, if a friend. s to chat with you can, you can engage with them right then and there. >> so much competition. how will this impact google? >> i think it's giving google a little bit of a run for its

based on collecting this data so they can target specific ads to you. if you're not paying for that app, the revenue model is you. they want as much information as they can from you in order to target the best ads to use. it's definitely going to be a problem for them. it might even hurt innovation. a lot of these companies are second guessing whether to put them on the app that could be construed as marketing for kids. imagine the world without the next angry birds. >> cnn newsroom starts at top of the hour. and fredricka whitfield is here. >> you have done a great job. >> i have survived. >> you'll be back to do it it again tomorrow morning. >> it's one big cycle. noon eastern, we have our legal guys who will be with us. i don't know if you have ever had this thought. you go to college and the college promises you that 97% of graduates will get a job upon graduation. well, we're seeing a lot of college students finding out

>> reporter: california state attorney general, kamala harris may be the next u.s. attorney general. by many accounts a rising star in the democratic party, but her resume isn't grabbing headlines. what president obama said about her thursday at a private fundraiser in california is. calling her, quote, by far the best-looking attorney general. the white house answering to cnn about the comment. >> how has he reflected on his comments since making them and has he called harris? >> he called her to apologize for the distraction created by his comments. they are old friends and good friends. and he did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general's professional accomplishmen accomplishments. >> it's sexist. that comment drops her like a stone and makes voters much less likely to see her as qualified

or worthy of their vote. >> reporter: a harmless compliment or a sexist remark? it sparked a debate. >> the president causing stir with comments he just made. >> also raising eyebrows overnight, the president out in california. >> it's not as if he called her a slut. >> he acknowledged the accomplishments saying she is brilliant and dedicated and she is tough before mentioning her looks. >> the debate requires a lot more context and a lot more knowledge because we don't fully know the extent of their friendship, which they claim to have. >> reporter: the president has been on the defensive before fighting perception of a boys club attitude. this picture of the president's inner circle had many asking, where are the women? the president has turned that around appointing women to his cabinet, most recently, the secret service director. >> what should the president have said? >> everything he said except the

last thing he said, which was comment on her appearance. >> harris's office said the attorney general and the president have been friends for many years. they had a great conversation and she strongly supports him. >> all right. i am smiling because cnn newsroom continues now with fred whitfield. >> thank you so much. have a great afternoon. a lot straight ahead. north korea saying its missile launchers are locked and loaded. is this a real threat or just more rhetoric? we'll ask the experts. and the morning after pill soon to be available over the counter for all ages. that after a federal court ruling, but there are still a the lot of legal questions. our legal guys weigh in. and everybody is primed for tonight's final four games. we'll talk to one of college and pro basketball's greatest players of all time. he is not soaring through the

skies there. you're looking at downtown atlanta. i guess he's a superman of sorts. first, to texas now. police are taking every threat seriously following the killings of two state prosecutors and the wife of one. someone called in a bomb threat the night before hundreds gathered for the funerals of mike mclelland and his wife. so far police have arrested two men for threatening officials. martin savage is following the case. are the men being investigated for possible links to the murders? >> reporter: right now, they ta save these people under arrest are not connected to the murder investigations underway. the two men who have been taken into custody say, look, their congressmens were misunderstood. they said they are decent citizens. law enforcement didn't see it that way. they are charged with one count of terroristic threat. it's extremely serious. and they have a $1 million bond.

there's no fooling around. understandable when you have two county officials killed along with the wife of one. so that's why the feelings are there way. as far as the latest on the investigation, they are being close-mouthed on this because authorities are carefully investigating all the leads they have. three primary avenues, one could be a white supremacist group. could be drug cartel because there's a lot of drug activity through north texas. or it could be somebody who had a beef. they are not focusing on any one. they are looking at all three possibles even more. >> martin, anything more on the investigation of the two prosecutors that were killed within just a couple months of each other? anymore being said about any links to any individuals or groups? >> reporter: one of the things that's been talked about here, and again, this is talk at this point because authorities have not come out and confirmed or

denied any of this. that is in both cases it appeared whoever was the killer of mark hasse and the mclellands they got close to them in a way that authorities aren't quite sure how. does that indicate it's someone they knew, someone they trusted? or is it someone who was disguised in a way that gave them or let them let down their guard. especially in the case of mike mclelland. he knew someone was out gunning in their community. they were on their guard. despite that, they were killed. that's why authorities are wondering if it isn't someone they know. just another angle they are pursuing. >> martin savage, thank you so much for that update. so this spate of murders of law enforcement officials in colorado, texas and now spreading to west virginia. today still no clear motive in

murder of a west virginia sheriff. walter crumb was shot at point-blank range as he sat in his suv eating lunch. the atf ran a trace on the gun used in the shooting. cnn learned it was bought legally, but no word on who purchased it. police shot and wounded a suspect. cnn learned that may nard spent time in a recent mental hospital. we'll have a an sbr view with the sheriff's daughter. and just in about 20 minutes from now, we'll take a closer look at who may be targing law enforcement in texas. could it be a lone gunman or a gang? we'll have the latest on the investigation. on to south africa. nelson mandela is back home. the former south african president was discharged earlier today. the 94-year-old was admitted to the hospital last month for a recurring lung infection and pneumonia. and health officials in china now say they have found

traces of the new bird flu in more sections of shanghai. they are slaughtering more birds hoping to stop the spread of the virus. shanghai also closed a live poultry market. bird flu has killed six people in china. no break in the tension on the korean peninsula. the north has loaded two m missiles on to mobile launchers while the south has deployed missile-detecting destroyers along the coast. what's next? we have following the developments from seoul, south korea. >> after weeks of rhetoric, north korean television was calm. they dusted off old propaganda video showing kim jong-un being adorned by fans. talk turned to the mention of secretary of state john kerry who will be in beijing in a week's time if and wondering whether there would be a diplomatic window that's opening here. most people understand the position of west.

north korea has to give up nuclear arms if it wants any assistance. but the north koreans don't see it that way. >> we think they are blackmailing us. what they want is money from us. what we fail to understand is their profound insecurity, their deep insecurity as a regime, kim jong-un's personal insecurity, his fear for his own life. put yourself in north korea's sho shoes. let's think about the six-party talks. what were diplomats saying to north koreans? we said you'll be safe without your nuclear weapon. look at libya. that's what libya did. gadhafi was developing a nuclear weapons program. give it up, you'll be safe. he gave it up, what happened to him? the north koreans watched that carefully. >> the west thinks it's obvious. if north korean wants to develop its economy, it's going to have to give up something in nuclear weapons are going to be it. but north korea some say

believes that economic success goes right along with military development. >> the north korean leadership has placed a different bet. they believe they can ride this out. the international community will ak wee yes, sir and be well on their way to becoming a modern, advanced country and they will be able to develop their economy. this is their perspective. >> nobody thinks like that. at least nobody outside of north korea. when secretary kerry goes to beijing, he will be sitting alongside leaders who have been the mainstay of support for pyongya pyongyang. perhaps they will have new ideas to share. whatever they are, it's clear that john kerry has his work cut out. jim clancy, cnn, seoul. >> what about north korea's military hardware, how antiquated is it it? the u.s. is weighing options.

also straight ahead, i'll be talking to general spider marks and adam shif about that. and why do some air travelers lose control? dr. drew has advice on holding it it together at 30,000 feet. plus he's one of the greatest nba and ncaa players of all time. i'm talking to him. kareem abdul jabar, straight ahead in the newsroom. new car! hey!

tough talk from north korea has heightened tension with the south and the u.s. but is it anything more than just talk? does the north even possess the technology to mount an attack? tom foreman puts into perspecti perspective. >> reporter: in the massive parades, the display may seem impressive. more than a million troops under arms, row after row of missile l, tanks and other weaponry. but at globalsecurity.org, a killed military analyst sees something else. >> it would look pretty good to people who didn't know anything about military equipment. all these rockets are the same. but if you look at it closely, you basically see this is a lot of old, clanky stuff. >> reporter: when we asked him

to look over photos, they quickly pointed out problems. old soviet-style tanks still using technology from the 1980s or even further back. anti-aircraft guns that lack any connected radar or computer targeting. boats not suitable for the high seas. almost antique equipment for communications. much of it appears to have been updated, but look at a north korean. war room compared to one in the south. >> we're talking about very simple systems. >> reporter: there is that greatest asset of the north, the massive number of troops both k active and reserve they run into the millions. retired army general spider marks. >> they train every winter for weeks and weeks in terms of maneuvering their forces with great e lack raty. the issue is how do they sustain that? >> reporter: analysts believe in full battle the north could face critical shortages and rations of ammunition. >> any offensive is going to stall by virtue of not having

fuel to run the tanks. >> reporter: it all means even though north korea's military may roar loudly enough to strike fear in any extended battle analysts think it could prove a paper tiger. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> even with old equipment, north korea is drivewaying the tension of the world to new heights, pus l two missiles on launches is raising tensions on the korean peninsula. let's bring in adam shif on the house intelligence committee. and let's also bring in army general spider marks, good to see you. general, let me begin with you. if north korea has missiles loaded, what kind of capability do we believe they actually have? >> well beyond the two missiles that we have seen that have been moved to the east coast, as tom foreman just laid out, they have a large military.

quantity has a quality all of its own. they demonstrated their desire to maintain that over the course of the years. so this is a very capable military. certainly it has its problems. those have been laid out in front of us. the challenge that we have is that the threat is a combination of capabilities and intentions. we have a very bad track record of penetrating the regime and fully understanding what their intentions are. >> is it your belief that the capables of their missiles -- perhaps in terms of threats, it it could potentially reach japan, could potentially reach south korea and could potentially strike guam, i guess that would be the greatest distance, about 2,500 miles that what we have is capable of. is that still the case? >> sure. they can reach those locations. they fired missiles before that have sailed over japan. none of those have been a strategic surprise.

we saw all the precursors and all the indicators of what was happening when those events occurred. the concern is the combination of the factors right now, which is new leader in the south being tested. new leader in the north who is 29 years old. his relationship with the military, their desire to demonstrate their loyally to him. being in the military is a combination of mostly the communist alignment as opposed to the competence. but these are professional soldiers. so they want to make sure they are embracing him and he gets a sense that he's not at risk as well. it's a complicated situation. again, it gets to reading the indicators. they have not increased their readiness. they have been very bellicose. that's a problem. >> it sounds like real psychology has to be inserted into any efforts of diplomacy. you have already stated this week the actions of kim jong-un have reached new heights of irresponsibility. and if this is the case of a new leader in the north that's

really just puffing his chest, do you believe that the u.s. can do really anything to e lay the fears that the south may have or even japan or even we may have? >> i think we are doing the right thing. we're obviously protecting ourselves and protecting our allies. we're trying to tamp down the tensions because the biggest danger of miscalculation that coup coup kim jong-un it's one thing to use rhetoric, but more in the the need to do that. they did kill south koreans a few years ago. the south was really quite restrained in its response to that. and the north cannot expect that to happen again. so there's a grave danger of miscalculation. i think one of things that the u.s. can do and this will be an important part of secretary kerry's visit is to put china to

put pressure. we don't have direct influence over the north other than preparations we are taking. >> china has the leverage that no other country has. >> i think that's true. and you could overstate even that leverage, but to the degree that any nation has leverage, it is china. china helps prop up the north's failed economy with food, with fuel and it's going to be important. china wants this growing role with its growing power and influence. here's the opportunity to use that and do what it can to pressure the north to step down this ratcheting escalation. they have a lot of artillery. they have a the lot of weapon, a lot of troops. it may be that their weaponry is old and may have poor logistics, but they have enough artillery to devastate seoul. so there are some very significant risks here. and perhaps what may happen they

fire one of these missiles. if it lands harmlessly in the sea and allows north korean leader to save face, maybe we can step down from this. but the risk that a missile hits the south or hits japan, there would be serious reprisals and a terrible miscalculation. >> congressman, thank you so much. and army general spider marks, good to e see you both. appreciate it. up next, law enforcement in texas, colorado and now west virginia are on high alert after they look for the killer or killers of a prison chief, two prosecutors and a sheriff. and college hoops fans while they descended on atlanta for the final four, we'll have the march madness for you, next.

bomb threats before the visitation service for texas district attorney mike mclelland and his wife. police and bomb-sniffing dogs searched the church yesterday before the funeral following a bomb threat on thursday night. mclelland and his wife were shot dead in their home last weekend. the chief prosecutor mark hasse was gunned down in broad daylight two months before that. governor perry says the killers need to be on notice they will be hunted down and prosecuted. i want to bring in tonya eisner. what's the latest on this man hunt for the killer or killers? is the trail cold? >> i don't know that it's cold, but at this point, authorities do not have any specific evidence against any individuals. as one law enforcement told me, it remains a who dun it.

and i also wanted to note this is an area where a the lo of law enforcement live. >> so you said no evidence as to who may have done this. but then we see the name of the texas arian brotherhood that potentially comes up, potentially may be linked to these crimes. what more is being said about that from officials? >> it's something they continue to look the at. they continue to look at leads and tips. but they are also looking at potentially the cartels and just somebody that might have had a grudge against that office. >> clearly they are looking at the common denominator of cases that the d.a. and assistant d.a. may have been a part of or investigating or prosecuting. are officials still looking at those matters as to whether they hold any clues about who may, i guess, have a revenge out for?

>> absolutely. they do continue to look at cases. there's a number of cases that both of them were involved in. but you also have to -- you cannot assume what the motive is because we don't know who did this and why. so that's one of the reasons why they have security on all officials, all elected officials in the county. >> what about any kind of concrete, physical evidence? anything new? >> no, they are still looking at the ballistics. in this case there were about a couple dozen shell casings left behind at the scene. they are very hopeful that might yield some evidence. but we're still waiting to see what will happen with that. >> the owner of a gunshop said that mike mclelland was in the shop looking at antique guns. not necessarily for himself but some people in his office expressed they were concerned for their safety. what are you learning about that? >> that was a gunshop that he

actually went to quite frequently. he liked to go there. he liked to visit. the gunshop owner did till tel him he was concerned about his staff's safety and he wanted to know what would be a good weapon that they should carry. >> all right. tonya, thank you so much from the dlat morning news. appreciate it it. it's final four time. best in the ncaa talent in atlanta. and voted thee best player in ncaa history is this man right here. kareem abdul jab bar stops by. and later a lawsuit glaj watt is suing his al ma the matter because he can't get a case. we believe it can be the most valuable real estate on earth. ♪ that's why we designed our newest subaru from the back seat

back in february. it all comes down to this. after weeks after bracket busting and surprise wins, only four teams are left. joe carter is outside the georgia dome and ready to size up the final four. joe, the two coaches at michigan and syracuse have a rather unique relationship. is this going to be tough to be competitive on the hard court for them? >> not a chance. all bets are off. doesn't matter how good of friends they are. these two guys want to win the game. it's going to be a great one tonight. looking forward to that late game. we'll get to that in a second. we have 68 teams started with a few weeks ago. now we're down to the final four. 6:09 eastern, the number one overall seed louisville will tip off against wichita state. as we said, the late game michigan taking on syracuse. of course, syracuse when you think of that program, you think

finally got around to doing something ab it. you wouldn't want your kids going to college and having to deal with those circumstances. i don't think any parent would. i think the university should really deal with the issue. >> very discourage iing. e meantime the flip side, encouraging, people are excited and thrilled about the ncaa madness right now. final four, especially with louisville and kevin ware's sto story. how gripping has this been for you as a former player on the college level? >> i think it's been great. i really enjoyed all the attention that the game is getting. it's really positive. there are a whole the lot of events going on. sunday i'm part of dribbling around the georgia dome, we hope to have up to 3,000 kids. just to show them they can be fit and live a healthy lifest e

a california law grad is suing his school. they claim the college practically guaranteed they

would find him a job as a lawyer. after months of searching without results, he filed suit for misleading him. does he have a case? let's bring in avery freedman. good to see you. i'm sure you guys have strong opinions about this given you are grads of law school. according to our research, these lawsuits are being dismissed across the country. there are at least six states that have similar class action suits and all stemming from the case of michael lieberman, who is suing southwestern law school. he says they advertised that 97% of the grads would be employed within nine months of graduation. he was looking for a job as are a number of others. is that argument enough, false advertisement is the problem here he says? >> the problem is flaunt endeucement. law school is a business. they charge these students

upwards of $75,000 to $100,000 for a degree. if the school tells you before you come in, we're telling you, we have a 97% within nine months you're going to get a job within nine months and 97% of our graduates get those jobs, that induces you to pay that fee. now you go to law school, you graduate and you can't get a job so they lied to you. yes, they have a lawsuit. in california they got very strong consumer protection laws. fred, i think they have a viable lawsuit here. i think the university is going to have to pay. >> my goodness why is it being dismissed in some places, avery? >> for good cause. this isn't welding school, for goodness sakes. this is a profession. and whether a law school is out there marketing about what percent of their class gets a job, first of all, none of those statistics until recently change in the law said anything about

what they are doing. some guy folding shirts in the basements of macy's, yeah, he has a job. i don't think there's flaunt indu inducement. this is a profession. federal courts in michigan and new york have thrown these cases out. yes, i agree, there are consumer laws in california that are tough tougher. i don't think the case is going anywhere. >> according to a report, it follows the bar associations requirement. they say they are not culpable if you're unable to land a job. so what will this case and the other cases in the six other states need to continue to be viable? how can they continue to argue their case that the school is at fault for not landing them a job. >> it's basic fraud, fred. i think avery is wrong. that case in new york that was dismissed is on appeal right now. you can't make promises to

people about employment. especially in this economy where people have choices. they don't have to go to law school. we're telling you 97% of people get jobs in the industry. and it's not 97%. it's below 50%. that's fraud. come on, that's recoverable. there's damages. this is a live lawsuit in california. >> avery? >> look, it's not an industry, it's a profession. this isn't cooking school or welding. the fact is that the economy has dried up, there's internet research that have limited more jobs. i don't think the cases are going anywhere. of course, it's marketing, and i think there should be an improvement in the information disseminated, but no way these cases are going to prevail. there's no legal theory. we just disagree.

>> let's move on to the next topic. we're talking ab the morning after pill this week. a judge ordered the fda to make the morning after pill available and over the counter to people of any age without a prescription. that overturns a decision by the health and human services that requires a prescription for girls under 17. avery, you first. the argument being made, the federal court saying it's too arbitrary to set this age of 17 or otherwise. so what next potentially? would there be an appeal? >> well, we don't know that there will be an appeal, but i have to tell you something. this 59-page opinion published yesterday by the federal district judge is all about women's health. it's a recognition of the catastrophic prices. we're dealing with unwanted pregnancies in america. the fact is that fda scientists supported unfeddered access to emergency contraception. along with the american academy

of pediatrics and the medical association a victory for women, a victory for health. i don't see that even if there's an appeal you'll see a reversal of this important decision. >> so that's what the court is saying. the court is saying until you show us that there were health reasons why someone 15 or 16 shouldn't be taking the morning after pill versus if they were 18, until you provide that, this should be made available to everyone. >> exactly, fred. and they can't provide that. that's the point. that's the point the judge made in this decision. he's one of the stall worth judges in the district court in brooklyn. he's been there for a long time. this is a fantastic decision. they can appeal it to whoever they want. it's never going to be reversed. the judge is right on the law. the decision is arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable. and sebelius should retire based on her objection to this.

>> wait a minute. >> we don't know if it's going to affect 10-year-old girls. you take aspirin, this is a ridiculous partisanship. >> all right. thanks so much, gentlemen. i'm sure you'll be getting an e-mail or phone call from ms. sebelius. the legal guys are here every saturday to give us the take on the most intriguing legal cases of the day. coming up next, air rage. what would you do if you're getting ready to board a flight or if you're already airborne and someone near you just simply loses it it. dr. drew breaks down the dos and the don'ts right after this. is where it can take you.
