1:01 pm
minute. plus, my revealing conversation with entertainment icon rita moreno. she's out with a memoir, and in it she reveals why her lover marlon brando convinced her to go into therapy. our top story, north korea is giving foreign diplomats an ominous warning. it can't guarantee their safety if a war breaks out, and it's offered to help evacuate them. at the same time, a u.s. official says north korea has two missiles poised to launch, but life there may not be changing too much just yet. jim clancy is in south korea. >> as we've been saying for weeks, south koreans seem to be taking all the fiery rhetoric here in the peninsula in stride. well, it seems that north koreans may be doing the same. it's not often that we hear from the north koreans, but a tour operator who just returned from a visit to pyongyang was asked does she see any difference inside the north korean capital?
1:02 pm
>> i didn't feel any difference towards us and people smiling, waving, saying hello, and kids coming up and roller blading and coming up and saying hello. so there was no difference in that respect. >> amanda carr said that they visited bowling alleys, bars and public parks, and while people were aware of the rhetoric, they support the government, number one. and soldiers are there on the streets. but they're planting trees. this is, after all, spring planting season. what concerns many koreans, at least here in the south, is not the threat of one side or the other starting an all-out offensive. >> there's another danger right now, which is in the fog of war, especially at sea, where you've got north koreans and south koreans lapping right up against one another. a match is lit that sparks a bonfire that actually no one wanted, not even the north koreans. >> south koreans are very aware that the north has moved two missiles to the eastern side of the peninsula for suspected test

firing. that could come at the middle of the month to celebrate the birthday of the founding father and leader of north korea. at the same time, the u.s. and south korean navies have moved sophisticated radar vessels, spy ships, if you will, into position. they want to learn as much as possible about this largely unknown and untested missile. they also want to know what risks it may pose. >> thanks so much, jim clansy. in afghanistan, three u.s. service members and two civilians are dead following an attack on a convoy. it happened in the southern part of the country. another american service member was also killed in a separate attack. the attacks came just hours after arrival in the country. in kaufman county, texas,

police say they have arrested a man accused of threatening a deputy district attorney. this follows the funeral for district attorney mike mclelland and his wife. police and bomb-sniffing dogs searched the church yesterday before the funeral. on thursday night, mclelland and his wife cynthia were shot dead in their home last weekend. and hillary clinton is back in the spotlight. she returned to public appearances this week and is also working on a new book. as cnn political editor paul steinhauser says, it keeps fueling speculation about a run for the white house. >> hey, fred. after two months of laying low, hillary clinton's back in front of cameras. from an appearance tuesday night here in the nation's capital that honored women -- >> this is such a wonderful occasion every year. >> to a speech year at a women's event in new york city. >> when women parties nate the politics of their nations, they can make a difference. >> the former secretary of
1:05 pm
state, senator, and first lady is back in the political spotlight. two months after stepping down as america's top diplomat. >> hi, guys. >> how are you? >> i'm great. >> she's got three more speeches scheduled the next couple of months, and we learned this week that her new book will publish next year. all that's fueling speculation that clinton, who came so close to winning the democratic presidential nomination in 2008, will make another bid for the white house in 2016. >> hillary! hillary! >> there's already a growing super pack trying to convince her to become a candidate again. but a top clinton adviser says hold on. >> i think people aren't just getting ahead of themselves, they're getting ahead of her. it really -- 60 days has been the blink of an eye. we're talking about an election that's 1,300 days away. >> he may think it's too early to be talking about the next presidential contest, but vice president joe biden, who may also have designs on the white house, he speaks to the south

carolina democratic party next month. you know, south carolina is a crucial early primary state. and some republicans who may also run in 2016, such as senator rand paul and former senator rick santorum, they'll be making trips the next two months to iowa and new hampshire, which kick off the caucus and primary calendar. it seems we can't ignore 2016 talk. fred? >> thanks so much, paul stein haaser. a scholar watching north carolina closely says the country is not suicidal. but with two missiles ready to go and threats flowing, the question is what's the end goal? oh, he's a fighter alright. since aflac is helping with his expenses while he can't work, he can focus on his recovery. he doesn't have to worry so much about his mortgage, groceries, or even gas bills. kick! kick... feel it! feel it! feel it! nice work! ♪ you got it! you got it! yes! aflac's gonna help take care of his expenses. and us...we're gonna get him back in fighting shape.

[ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes.

new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options,

suicidal. you said the goal is not to start a war, so what do you suppose their goal is? >> in every discussion of north korea, you have to consider the basic internal dynamic in the korean peninsula. you have a two-state formulation, a fancy of way of saying two korean states that are vying for competing against each other for pan-korean legitimacy. north korea faces an existential threat in the sheer existence of south korea, a far more attractive, more successful, richer country. so north korea basically gets by on blackmail, extortion, and the sales of illicit activities. if north korea were not able to retain that capability to be a political factor in international politics by causing problems for the world's greatest powers, why would they go on giving to north korea? and why would north korea give that capability up, primarily
1:11 pm
achieved by the relentless pursuit of nuclear long-range missile capabilities. north korea calculates it can do it again. cause problems, back down, and then get the world's greatest powers to return to talks. >> so in other words, north korea just wants to make noise. they just want to matter. so bluffing is worthy. >> that's right. it's a fundamental aspect to regime preservation. if they were docile or a normal peaceful country, they would be relegated to the status, the economic political status that they are. a small country and impoverished country of $23 million, presided over by a cruel dictatorship. and no one in the world would accord north korea the kind of respect that we do. >> so professor wong, do you think that north korea is just bluffing and it just wants to make noise, it just wants to be
1:12 pm
noticed and doesn't mean to follow through? >> well, yes and no. while i do agree they are trying to elevate the level of risk and tension, i think we have to be careful because we have the tendency to dismiss north korean actions as being just bluster and show. very often the metaphor used is they are just children looking to get attention. yes, what professor lee said is true. but these threats are also very serious. >> the u.s. is already moving another warship into the area. the u.s. has also talked about more intercepters that would be put in place as a result of the kinds of threats coming from north korea. what more should be done to show, for the u.s. to show that it is taking north korea
1:13 pm
seriously, or it is paying attention? >> well, in terms of policy, i actually believe that what the united states and south korea are doing right now is exactly right. >> the practice exercises. >> well, yes, which are annual exercises in any case. but the point is that it's important to strike a very delicate balance between a show of irrefutable deterrence and defense, but at the same time, not risk escalating this to a level that feels threatened so that it will actually strike out. >> what i meant by taking it seriously is that i think we ought to stop dismissing the north korean leadership. you hear very often that the young untested leader -- yes, he's young, but that really is irrelevant. when we say untested, in the 15 months he's been in power, he has managed to test yet another nuclear weapon, shoot off even more missiles, which are
1:14 pm
actually successful. so i think we have to take it seriously in that regard. >> he set a stage. professors, thanks so both of you for joining us. we know this is just really the beginning of much more dialogue to come. thank you. she is an icon of the screen and stage. and she is revealing all. my candid conversation with oscar winner rita moreno. the surprising advice she would have given her teenage self. >> i would have said to rosy, don't go to hollywood. my father thought i was a nut for taking the job, but i took the job working at burger king. i became operations manager and director of burger king in europe. >> he's coming from a very strong corporate sector and he says he's now paying for his sins. >> now i want to use the

this is cnn breaking news. >> and this breaking news. very sad news to bring to you. it's being reported that matthew warren, the 27-year-old son of pastor rick warren of the saddleback valley community church, committed suicide last night. in a statement coming from the family, it made the point that matthew, 27, also suffered from mental illness resulting in deep depression and suicidal thoughts.
1:19 pm
that statement coming from the family. our deepest sympathies going out to the warren family. of course, we'll get more information, bring that to you as soon as we have it. only 11 entertainers have won an oscar, a grammy, an emmy, and a tony. and it was an honor for me to speak to one of them. rita moreno is a legendary performer who has just written a memoir. she not only dishes on the love affairs that she had with some hollywood legends, but she also delves into her childhood as a puerto rican immigrant in the bronx. ms. moreno told me what it was like to endure slurs and hatred and how that shaped her life very early on. >> i found out very quickly when i came to this country, and it was new york, it was about 5 years old that i was a spick, according to the kids on the block, and a garlic mouth and a pierced ear, all the words you hear in "west side story." at the time i didn't even speak
1:20 pm
english, the way in which those words were spit out at me, even as a very little girl, i knew something was wrong with me. and when i began to understand the words, it was even worse. and, you know, if you're young enough and you are told often enough that you have no value, you believe it. children are very tender and very vulnerable and very believing. they'll believe anything you tell them. and i carried that with me for far too many years. it's the thing that sent me into psychotherapy many, many years later when i was finding that i was really miserable in my life, that i didn't like myself very much. and my friend marlon brando, who was then my lover, said -- this man who was seriously disturbed, said to me you need to see a therapist. [ laughter ] i love the irony of that. he was right, of course. i'm a very stubborn person. i hang on to my neurosis like
1:21 pm
nobody's business. but i know a lot of people like that. it's more comfortable, even though it's scary. >> because it's very comfortable for most people to live with a facade. they can be the person that everyone thinks they know, and then there is, of course, the person. and sometimes it takes a lot more courage. most times it takes a lot more courage to reveal exactly who you are and what you are thinking and feeling. whether it be, you know, revealing your strengths or your weaknesses especially. >> you are so smart and you are so right. and, you know, what really was shocking to me, because the book covers something that you rarely get to see anymore, it covers the early hollywood that no longer exists. and the bias and the prejudice that i lived with for years and years and years in hollywood when i was a young woman. that was a shock and it was sad, because i really thought when i went to mgm under contract at 17 that i was going to be a star. i could be like lana turner or
1:22 pm
elizabeth taylor. and it turned out i could only play roles that require accents. >> i get terry's apartment. >> better get rid of your accent. >> life can be pricey in america. >> that begat something rather amusing. i was always the house ethnic. whether i played a polynesian girl, an arabian girl, an east indian girl, i always had the same accent. >> did it always bother you? was there a point where you said i'm going to do this? i accept it. but then you write it became very demeaning. how did you turn that around? >> it didn't become demeaning. it always was demeaning. but somewhere inside of me, i always felt there was this stubborn streak that said you are talented, even when i was a little girl, you have talent. somehow if i persevere, somehow, some way, someone will see that in me and give me a break.
1:23 pm
and it happened in "west side story." and of course "the king and i." but yet again, i was talking like this, you know? beautiful role. fantastic movie. but there i was doing the same thing, only with more beautiful costumes. >> so if you had an opportunity to kind of reach back to your teenage years, early part of your career and you would be able to advise yourself, given your life path, your odyssey. what would you have advised that young girl about to embark on a life in entertainment? >> i would have said to rosita, don't go to hollywood. go to the theatre, where people were still allowed to play different kinds of roles. but my thinking, my -- what's the word for that.
1:24 pm
my set, my take was that in order to be a famous star, you had to go to hollywood. never occurred to me -- i had never done theatre until i was -- oh, my gosh, much, much older. so hollywood was the answer for me. it wasn't the best answer. in the meantime, however, it made me very strong. and in the meantime, i met someone like marlon brando who ultimately did me one of the greatest favors he ever did any woman, which was to say you need help. >> wow. isn't that hard to hear, that she thinks that she shouldn't have gone to hollywood? that would be her advice. anyway, there's much more with rita moreno, tomorrow, 5:00 eastern as she opens up about her relationship with marlon brando. why she says he was like a drug and an obsession. and she also talks about her love affair with elvis and why she found him dull. her words, not mine. stay with us. and every day si, we've worked hard to keep it. today, the beaches and gulf
