many years and it will continue in capable and familiar hands. for all of my gratitude that work behind the scenes that make a show that helps you and thanks to you for watching. your comments over the years have made me better, the good ones and the critical ones. i will miss you more than you know. until we meet again, i am ali velshi. have a great weekend. >> a look at the temperature stories. north korea may have two missiles loaded on launchers after a week of threats getting more and more intense. what the white house is doing as it keeps a close eye on this. a small town sheriff gunned down just steps from the courthouse. i am talking to his daughter in a cnn exclusive interview. does she think her dad was targeted because he is a law man? it symbolizes a city jail in need of serious reform.

inside prison, an inmate fooling around with a gun and this is just the beginning. we'll take you inside. north korea is taking aggressive action putting missles in place for a possible launch. it may just be a test or is it something more? north korea's al lies and enemies are watching closely. elise is joining me from washington. how is the white house responding to north korea's latest moves? >> well, fred, they're really trying to dial back the rhetoric, tone things down, and you have been seeing this the last few days. john kerry, the state department spokesman saying this does not need to get any hotter. at the same time what the u.s. expects is that north krooe can awill take some kind of action, fred. the white house said it wouldn't be surprised if north korea launched those missiles. they're hoping that these action that they're expecting from north korea won't be so dramatic

that they can't find a way back to the table with north korea and that's what secretary kerry will talk about when he goes to asia later this week. south korea, japan, china, talking about a diplomatic way forward, how can they entice north korea to stop these threats curve the nuclear program. >> chien is one of the few allies. what kind of reaction is coming from beijing or directive is coming from beijing. >> it is interesting. they have been kind of quiet. you have them moving stealth bombers and you really haven't heard anything from china. china is really concerned about the u.s. exerting its influence in asia over the last couple years but i think it reflects a growing frustration on the rt pa of the chinese. they're north korea's biggest economic and diplomatic backer and they really don't seem to

have a lot of influence on north korea at this time. we understand there is little communication between north korea and china and i think there is a growing debate right now officials and experts are pointing to in china about whether it is time to abandon its unequivocal support for north korea that perhaps this unabashed support for north korea is ant thet call to its interesting. >> elise, thanks so much from washington. in 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 a funeral of mike mclelland and his wife cynthia. so far police arrested two men for threatening public officials. martin savage is in texas following the case. martin, are the men arrested being further investigated for any possible links to the murders? >> no, fred, according to authorities they say they have been taken into custody because of the threats they made. one did it over a telephone and

the other over the internet. the charge is pretty serious, making a terrorist dl ic threat and currently being held in jail on a $1 million bond each and likely they could be there for a while. it shows you they take it very seriously here and obviously so. they have this three people, two official from this county murdered in the last two months. as for the investigation, it is pushing forward but so far no arrests directly tied to the murders have occurred. fredricka. >> and, martin, any more from officials whether they're looking at this spate of violence involving law enforcement officials, any connections being made directly between texas, colorado, and now west virginia? >> reporter: right. we do know at least in the cases of colorado and the shoot willing of prison chief and with the investigation going on here that the investigators in both states have communicated. it is not like they talk every day and isn't necessarily

suggesting there is a link. it just suggests it is probably pretty smart police work that the two departments with these kind of murders on their hands dealing with officials would communicate. right now they have not drawn a direct link to any of those three that you outline. that said, the investigation here is sort of going in multiple directions. there are a lot of people working the case. have you local, state, and federal help as well. they're looking at the possibility of maybe it was white supremacist group involved because there is a prosecution going on in this region involving such a group. it could be that it is something to do with drug trafficking cartels. there is a lot of that going on in north texas or could be just somebody who acted on their own, that had a beef with the officials. they don't know. they aren't saying. quite frankly, authorities are very tight lipped on this, fredricka. >> thank you so much from kaufman county, texas. all right. time for some final four action right here in atlanta. four hours from now the first semifinal game of the ncaa

tournament kicks off. number one seed louisville against ninth seed wichita state. live pictures of a huge free concert under way at centennial park just step as way from the georgia dome and in fact right outside the george dome where we find joe carter. joe, soon all of the people at the stage will be heading your way for the game this evening. louisville is a clear favorite, at least a sentimental favorite to win the final four and tug at america's heartstrings this week with kevin ware. so what is the feeling in terms of how these teams are getting themselves ready to really come out on top? >> in that first game as you said you have the number one overall seed in louisville. a lot of people feel like they could win the championship, the sentimental favorite because of kevin ware and some say the cinderella, that flew under the radar thanks to florida gulf coast university and here is wichita state, the shocker not

so being showing because of how they got here beating teams like gonzaga and number two seeded ohio state and we have really seen a lot of these majors or small schools make their way into the final four over the last few years. you have george mason, vcu, butler and now it is time the feeling is to get over the hump and finally win a championship for these mid-majors or smaller cools and louisville, of course, vega says is the big favorite, the 10-point favorite. back in the final four. they have the great coach and the great potential nba flairs on the roster so in a sense it is david versus goliath in the first game just after 6:00 eastern time >> and second game michigan versus syracuse. all eyes i guess folks really want to see syracuse come out on top. >> i think a lot of people are speculating that this could be head coach jim's last hurrah at this. he has been at this for 37

years. he has won over 900 games with syracuse. they have that really suffocating zone defense. they make it boring for the viewer to watch because they don't allow the other people to score many points. they held indiana to 50 points and marquette to 39 points. there is 40 minutes in a college basketball game. syracuse definitely great defense and you have michigan, finally back to dominance in college basketball. remember, 20 years ago the fab five, the infamous time-out, the shorts, the attitude, the program took a dip for a while and now they're back. here is michigan. a lot of people looking at that game, the michigan-syracuse game as being really even and even battle between the two teams, very competitive, so it should be great, again, 6:09 the tip-off between louisville and wichita state and follows with michigan and syracuse. we're going to get into it. we'll go all access before we hit the games tonight. 3 p.m. eastern. we'll show you the emotion.

we'll go into the pregame speeching and the victory celebrations, the tears when the teams lose. hosted by rachel nichols and hall of fame basketball player reggie miller, 3 p.m. eastern on cnn, so we'll see you, fredricka, in just a few minutes with that. >> that's right. less than -- just over 50 minutes away. thanks so much, joe carter, appreciate that. so what are the thousands upon thousands of people here in atlanta doing before and after the game? how about going to free sting or dave matthews band concerts, the party is only beginning. nischelle turner has details now. >> reporter: hey, there, fred. greeting from centennial park where me and a few thousand of my closest friends are here enjoying the big dance concert series. take a look at the crowd. everybody is out here having a really good time. it is a beautiful saturday. there is a lot of final four fans. there is a lot of just music fans. have you a big smile. having a good time. >> great time. >> i don't have to ask you who are you going to.

>> the cuse, baby. this guy is going for syracuse today. a lot of people out here listening to great music. listen to who is in the lineup. flo rida going to be on stage, ludacris going to be on stage and muse will take the stage. they have the anthem that fits the final four and the music that gets you pumping. that will be a lot of if unto see and the biggest thing about the concert, three days of the biggest name in music free. yes, i said it, free. i will spell it f-r-e-e, free. tomorrow there will be more great music. sting, dave matthews band, grace potter, and centennial park will be the place to be. all of this is free. yeah, i see folks walking behind me. that's what happens when you do shots out here. they dance and they -- do you want to dance? okay. the big dance concert series at centennial park.

north korea is flexing its muscles and putting the international community on edge. a u.s. official said yesterday the country had two missiles ready to launch. that's after a long range rocket test in december and in february a nuclear test that triggered tough sanctions. joining me now is jim walsh with m.i.t. security studies program. travelled to north korea and hosted delegation from there. good to see you, jim. >> good to see you, fredricka. >> a whole lot of uncertainty about what's going on in north korea. is the leader bluffing or is it for real? what's your gut feeling. >> i don't think the fundamentals have changed. by that i mean what is true today was true a year ago, true five years ago which is north korea is a weaker country and if there were a war, they would

lose which means they would lose power and most countries tonight like to commit suicide, and so i don't think they're looking to start a war they will lose. they are trying to create as they have in past cycles a crisis atmosphere either for domestic reasons because they have a new leader who is consolidating his position or for an external audience for whatever reason and they are making i think mostly bluffing. i will say this, fredricka. it feels different this time. >> why does it feel different? >> it seems as if every day there is another announcement of some little thing that they're doing. telling the embassies to prepare to evacuate. possibly launching a missile. shutting down ka sign industrial complex. just every day there is something. the rhetoric is tougher and harder. the fundamentals haven't changed. >> and the fundamentals meaning the kind of weaponry, the moth ball kind of missiles that are

now being displayed and whether they really are viable, whether they really are dangerous? >> exactly. i would put it more in this way. if there is a war, who wins and who loses. the answer to that question, who loses, is obvious. it is obvious to all the parties and north korea loses, and so are they going to start a war that they don't want to -- this they're going to lose? i don't think so. that's the cold logic. i will say, though, that a deliberate war is not the only path to war and as you and i have discussed in the path they're playing this game of bringz man ship and provocation and if someone messes up, there is an accident, or someone miss calculates, something small could grow to be something big in a short period of time. i am still nervous about it all. >> you are. okay. the international community in some respects has come together and posed sanctions against north korea. is that enough? china really i guess has the strong arm in all or some of what north korea does or doesn't do.

are sanctions in any way impactful long-term? >> long-term probably not. sanctions by themselves are not going to get the job done. if they were, we wouldn't be where we are now. north korea has had sanctions on it for a decade or whatever. listen, the chinese and the north koreans don't love each other. they don't even like each other very much. china is a source of a lot of the fuel and economic investment, private economic investment coming from the mainland into north korea, so, yes, china has leverage, but chinese have a dilemma here. they don't want to let the -- they don't want north korea to collapse so they won't allow sanctions to cause that. if north korea lapses, what happens? refugees on the border, u.s. and south korean troops moving up closer to the chinese border. that's bad news. when north korea does this stuff and ignores china, it makes china look weak and gets all the other asian nations, south korea

and japan in particular angry and nervous and they don't like that either. they're caught in a bind about how to deal with this. for now and certainly for the next period of time, i don't think sanctions are going to get it done because china isn't going to let north korea collapse. >> okay. and what kind of leverage can the u.s. really have in this situation? yes, we have a war ship that's moved and another war ship moved to the area. there have been continued, really annual kind of exercises with south korea, but is the u.s. really in a situation where it has to just wait and see and do everything it can to not be blamed for anything preemptive? >> yeah. you know, the u.s. has done a lot, and it hasn't done everything it could do in my opinion but it has done a lot. it followed the right principles, the first principle to reassure your ally and reassure south korea and japan so they don't feel vulnerable and left alone and have to take action on their own.

the u.s. has done a lot of that over this past month and over the past years. they continue to do that. we saw that with the b-52s and the b-2s and the other moves made these past couple of weeks. they're reassuring the allies and trying to restrain south korea so south korea doesn't end upstarting a fight on its own. that's an important function. at the end of the day the old policy of strategic patience has not worked, and we find ourselves in the cycle of sanctions, provocation, sanctions, provocation. i think we'll have to think about what is this end game look like? how is it this ends up a good story in the end and right now i think what we're doing is sort of day-to-day management. >> all right. jim walsh, thank you so much. always good to see you. >> good to see you. it is pretty remarkable. inmates running wild in a prison and it is all caught on tape. they're doing drugs, drinking, playing around with guns. this is unbelievable. we take you inside. up next, my exclusive

conversation with this man's daughter, a small town sheriff gunned down just takes ago. how the family is pulling together and keeping dad's mission alive.

there is a new sheriff today in mingo county, west virginia, because the previous sheriff, eugene crum was gunned down on wednesday as he ate lunch in his car near the county courthouse. police chased and caught the suspect who faces first degree murder and attempted murder charges now. a day later crum's widow rosie was appointed sheriff to take her husband's place. she will serve the remainder of his term until next may. julie hall is the couple's daughter and now joining me and in fact she is at her dad's desk in his office.

julie, thanks so much for being with us. i know this has to be a very difficult time. a, how are you, and what is it like sitting at your dad's desk? >> i am doing as well as expected. we're still in shock. i am heart broken, but i am doing okay. >> so there is a memorial service for your father a little later on this afternoon. tell me what you want people to know about your dad and how you expect him to be recognized and eulogized today. >> my dad was a very loving man. he was a loving father and grandfather. he loved his community. he has done a great job in the short three months that he has been sheriff. what he accomplished is amazes. >> in three months dad was sheriff, how important was this job, this responsibility to be this public servant in your

community? >> my dad fought tirelessly against drug abuse. he just wanted to clean up the county and make it a better place to live for the children that are growing up here. >> do you feel like your dad was targeted because in large part because he would fight drug abuse and try to bring the prosecution of those who were bringing drug problems to the community? >> things are still under investigation at this time, so we really are unsure why this has happened. i think it is a very strong possibility. >> so now how concerned are you about your mom taking this position? she has assumed the responsibility that your dad had, and up until next year may so over a year your mom will be sheriff. how worried are you for her?

>> i am concerned for her safety but any dad had officers in place that took care of him well and i know they will take care of my mom very well. >> is this something you talked about as a family, you and your mom, to assume his responsibilities after he was murdered? >> we d my mother and i and my brother, we did talk about it. we did agree that my mom would not best person to take his job. she knew him best. she knew what he wanted to accomplish and i think she can finish the job he started. >> take me into that conversation. what were the concerns you and your brother expressed to your mom and how did she assure you? >> well, no one can be 100% sure of what's going to happen. everything is in god's hands, and i just know that my mom is going to do a great job for this

county. she loves this county as much as my dad did, and she will carry on his legacy. >> what kind of impact did your dad make on you? >> my dad was my rock. he was the very person that i could call for anything, and he always had my side. >> and now as investigators continue to look into who is responsible for the death of your dad, can you help but draw some correlation or try to see whether there is a link between your dad being targeted and law enforcement officials in texas and colorado, all being targeted as well within the past two to three months? >> well, like i said, it is all still under investigation, and i haven't been told anything more than what everyone else has been

told. >> what does your gut say? >> my gut says no. >> your gut says no, there is no link. >> right. i think this is something that is more local and something going on here in our county. >> julie hall, message you may want to send to your community today, the day that your dad will be laid to rest? >> i would just like to ask those who have abuse problems to please seek help from anyone, from your parents, your teachers, to even our law enforcement, and to do this in my dad's honor. >> julie hall, thank you so much for your time and our deepest condolences for the passing, the murder of your father. >> thank you, fredricka. all right.

campuses and research their top choices. that takes time and money. one website may change all of that. our lori siegel is here to tell us about it. tell us about the website. how does it work? >> it is called unigo and honestly i was going through this and wish it were around when i went to college. you can go on there and put in any college you are interested and it has so much content about the college and not just about the courses and that kind of thing but has user generated content, so students are uploading videos because everyone has smartphones and so it is you really can go to the site and get an inside look at what the college you want to go to is like and you mentioned it is really expensive, and a lot of people are getting those acceptance letters and getting rejection letters and trying to figure out where am i going to go? what am i going to do and they may not be able to afford to go to all of these different campuses. i spoke to the founder, jordan goldman, and i asked him about how the site helps you save

money in your college search. listen to what he had to say. >> right now is the time when the college acceptance letters are coming in and people have to decide which college they want to go to. a lot of people can't afford to physically go to the schools. how does this change that? >> that's exactly what's key. to go and visit schools, to visit four, five schools will cost you 2,000 or $3,000 because you have to drive around the country, stay in hotels and it is not inexpensive. when you get to a campus are you mostly seeing a prepackaged campus tour and the view that the university wants you to see and they won't take you where students hang out or show you what an actual saturday will be like. so here from your home you can read all of these reviews of schools and see photos and you can see videos and you can talk to actual students and you will get a better sense what it is like to attend than you would if you spent all of this money. >> and it pretty interesting and, fredricka, you can actually

skype with students and for students who are in college, they can make money because when you skype with these students you pay money and so it is kind of a win-win situation which you can see the site is doing well and you can kind of get an idea why. >> interesting. usually you think you have to be on the campus to get the flavor of a place, but, yeah, we know it does cost money. this saves you some money, but how real does it really feel for the candidate who is thinking about that college experience? >> it is a good question. you think, all right, you should go and be on the campus, but sometimes you really just can't afford to do it. because we have smartphones now and all of this user generated content you can really get the idea and jordan said you may see exactly -- i visited the university of michigan and you see what they want to you see and you sometimes don't see the inner workings and the student halls and you can get to know students and talk to guidance

counselors. it is really -- there is a lot of content and so many students are using it and you can really kind of get the flavor of the campus. >> nice. all right. very neat stuff. thanks so much, laurie segall. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> in today's how many factor, a tough disease versus a tough woman. dr. sanjay gupta on one woman's fight to survive colon cancer. on september 19, 24/7, i received news no healthy 28-year-old expects to hear. i didn't cry, panic or feel sorry for myself. >> she is a fierce opponent. calculated, competitive, unrelenting. >> i joined a gym in the joining of 2010. i lost about 30 pounds of fat, put on about ten pounds of muscle so i thought my body was going through changes in general and so the gi issues were tied to those changes. >> adds the year progressed her symptoms got worse. she toughed it out until one day she got fouled in a basketball game.

mad men is often called one of the sexiest shows on television, and one of the best. it won the emmy for best drama four out of the first five seasons. now it is back. moe ryan joining me now, a tv critic at huffington post. before the walking dead was, you know, amc's big hit show we're talking "mad men." six seasons on now. still an event, a big event when "mad men" premieres? >> i think it is an event. i think it is probably a little smaller event than in years past. it was really on a roll there as you said with the emmy wins and so forth and last year there was a year-and-a-half between seasons and seemed like some

really insanely long time. this year i think it is a little less of an event but still for the fans they're very excited and people are paying attention to the return. >> what is it about this show and what is it that most of the fans or viewers are anticipating in this season? >> i think that to me it is about the home stretch, you know, there is no official confirmation, of course, but matthew weiner, the creator said there is only this season and the next most likely, so for me it is bittersweet because i love the characters. i love the world they have created over time and now we're kind of entering that phase where we'll have to think about it ending, and i think what's great about "mad men" is that the day after an episode airs you can read 15 different interpretations by different critics of what it was all about, and they will all be right, you know what i mean? everyone can get out of it kind of what they're going through or thinking about. >> okay. you know what, i spoke with actor ben feldman. he plays michael ginsburg in

md&a bee"mad men" and he talks w he was a fan tore follow years before he got a lucky break and now he is cast and we'll show the interview why he thinks the show has great appeal. want to talk about another show coming back, arrested development, very quirky comedy with a cult following. it was canceled in 2006 and now it is coming back with a new season and only on netflix. how is that going to work? >> well, they're going to actually put all the episodes out there over a holiday weekend all at once so you will go to a computer or your tv and realgor yourself. people are used to doing that with netflix. it is two in the morning but you want to watch one more episode of whatever you are watching and you have to wonder how it is going to work when it is not a well known property like arrested development or like house of cards which starred kevin y a couple months ago.

how are they going to get people to pay attention when a lot of what we in the media do pay attention to there was three months where we were talking about "mad men" and so it gives it a buzz over time. that is not really the strategy, but i think the commissioning things that people are already in love with like arrested development is a very smart move to make sure that people want to keep paying that monthly fee. >> and "american idol," what in the world has happened? why is it flopping? people are tired of it or what sth. >> yeah, there is two things going on. there is the aging of a -- the natural aging of a show, and i think some of these wounds are really self-inflicted. they're really not freshening up the format. we're still getting '60s night or mow town night. >> even though they changed the judges, that's just not it, people are not watching because of the judges? >> well, you can get really famous people to be judges. i don't know that that necessarily makes people want to

watch them. "the voice" and the competition shows where the chemistry is walking around is really happening, and i think the judges they have now, sure, it made a big splash for the show when it was a2340u7bsed and first began. i don't know over time they're that good of judges. >> i know they're bummed. maureen ryan of huffington post, thanks so much. appreciate it. here is a question for you out there. what do a possible hillary clinton run for presidency in 2016 and hollywood legend rita marino and justin bieber's monkey all are have in common? they are all part of our show at 4:00 eastern time. you want to get updated on all of these things. right now cnn all access at the final four with rachel nick oltz starting right now. there's iams. with 50% more animal protein than other leading brands... ...to help keep his body as strong as his love. iams. keep love strong.
