hello again, i'm fredricka whitfield. you're in the "cnn newsroom." a 25-year-old american diplomat is dead in an attack on a u.s. convoy in southern afghanistan. a civilian and three u.s. service members were also killed. another u.s. service member was killed in a separate attack. we'll have details. north korea could be days away from testing a missile. tensions are so high on the korean peninsula it is creating a ripple effect. a u.s. missile test is being delayed so as not to send conflicting messages to north korea. the new season of "mad men" starts tonight. straight ahead we'll talk with a cast member who says he never dreamed he'd actually work on his favorite television show. to afghanistan now where six americans were killed in two separate attacks yesterday. one of those being remembered is a 25-year-old diplomat named ann smetinghoff.

she was in the military convoy delivering books to schools in southern afghanistan. u.s. secretary of state john kerry spoke about her today. >> when i was in afghanistan she was part of my team and she was someone who worked hard and put her life on the line so that others could live a better life. >> athena jones is at the white house for us now. what else is being said? >> reporter: good afternoon, fredricka. we're hearing from ann smettinghoff's parents that she died love doing what she loved. she joined the foreign services out of college three years ago. her father spoke to a cnn affiliate. >> we always knew in the back of our minds that this was a possibility. she didn't at all. she went everywhere. she usually told us about it afterwards. but she never expressed any fear at all. >> reporter: that's what we're hearing, that this young woman

was fearless and optimistic. i should mention that her chicago area neighborhood is being decorated with flags and flowers in remembrance of her. >> too sad. there was also a nato air strike in afghanistan that afghan leaders claim killed 18 people, including children. what more do we know about those air strikes? >> we know that nato's international security assistance force is investigating this incident, that their spokesman said we take these reports of civilian injuries very seriously. we expect to learn more about that as they learn as well. >> thanks so much, athena jones at the white house. north korea could test a missile this week according to south korea. seoul based that assessment on the north urging workers to leave an industrial complex near the border by april 10th. pentagon correspondent barbara starr is live for us now from washington. so barbara, we know the u.s. has delayed a planned missile test to avoid any kind of misconceived notions about the intent. what is the latest response from

washington? >> reporter: well, that's right, fredricka. a minute man missile test, a u.s. intercontinental police tick missile long planned test now being delayed because they don't want to send any signal that could inadvertently or perhaps deliberately cause n llh korea to believe it is a provocation. that's a pretty extraordinary step to take. we are also seeing the u.s. really trying to sort of tamp things down, really kind of talk the line of diplomacy. in fact a u.s. military meeting with the south koreans was scheduled for washington this week which the top u.s. commander in korea was going to attend. all of that has been put off now. those officials believe they need to stay in korea and monitor the situation. as you said, a lot of concern, however, about this upcoming april 10th day when south korean workers are told to be out of this industrial area in north korea that they work in.

fredricka? >> and, barbara, a lot of politicians have been looking to china to put pressure on north korea. listen to what the former ambassador to china, jon huntsman, had to stay on "state of the union." >> they have economic leverage. does the north listen to that? no. they lie and they cheat as it relates to china as well. but people do busy with people. in the old days mao tse-tung had a relationship. i don't think kim jong-un has spent any time with these leaders. probably safe to say dennis rodman has probably had more facebook with kim jong-un than the president of china. >> are those some of the same concerns being expressed? >> i think this economic issue really is the one that people are looking at right now. china in fact is probably the only country minimal though it may be that north korea really talks to on a regular basis. china today saying they don't want the north koreans to

unsettle the region, to cause trouble on their own agenda, if you will, that's going to upset asia. this is the economic powerhouse. the chinese want to see economic stability in the region and they know north korea has the ability to upset that if they conduct these missile tests or even another nuclear test possibly. so the chinese, the fact this they're even talking about this right now, could be a hopeful sign that they're going to get involved in trying to ratchet things down. >> barbara starr, thanks so much in washington. mega church pastor rick warren is mourning the loss of his youngest son, matthew warren died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on friday. his father says the 27-year-old warren had a life-long battle with mental illness. in an e-mail to his congregation, warren and his wife said, "no words can express the anguished grief we feel right now." nick valencia joins us live from outside the saddleback church in southern california.

nick, what is being said by the community there and then what about even an investigation as to where the gun came from, if he purchased the gun on his own, is that kind of conversation taking place among law enforcement? >> reporter: well, the conversation here at the church, they're being very tight lipped about the details they will receive. we know there's already been a coroner statement and the autopsy is expected to be conducted this week. but outside saddleback church in lake forest, california, it was a very solemn sermon, a lot of very sad faces. you get the sense this is more of a family than a church. it explains why pastor rick warren's congregation is so large. over 20,000 people. matthew warren, 27-year-old son, youngest son of pastor rick warren, was a very important role here at the church. he was more of a quiet leader though. he worked in the mail division of the church. earlier today the church provided us with two people who knew pastor warren's son. they told me that he was

extremely sweet, just a very compassionate individual, the type of person that could tell when somebody was in pain because he himself was going through so much. earlier i spoke to one of his friend and asked him how matthew warren would have wanted to be remembered. >> he was one of those young men who even in his most challenging times, when other people would kind of share their problems and their suffering, he would just enter into those times and express his concern for them and how he wanted to somehow try to help them and reach out to them even in some of his most challenging times. >> reporter: today's sermon was delivered by matthew's uncle, tom holliday. it was the first in a series of sermons on getting through tough times. today's sermon was titled "how to survive your worst day." pastor rick warren is recovering from a case of pneumonia. he's not here today. but saturday he released a statement about the death of his son. i want to read you an excerpt of

that. he says, "i'll never forget how many years ago, after another approach had failed to give relief, matthew said dad, i know i'm going to heaven. why can't i just die and end this pain." there are so many people here 340ur mourning the loss of 27-year-old matthew warren. rick warren, his church says he's always been there for his members. now it is time for his members to be there for him. >> is the family or anyone elaborating on what kind of mental illness are we talking about as it pertains to matthew? >> we asked those questions to his friends. one of his friends that we spoke to didn't even want to convey that she knew that he had a mental illness. the other friend did tell me that he was aware of the conditions, they traveled together to rwanda about nine years ago and he said over time he realized the condition and the illness -- debilitating illness that matthew was suffering from. but we can't emphasize enough how tight-lipped people are being here about the condition of matthew and what he went through. we do know from the statement from his father, rick warren,

this was something he battled with his whole life. it was something that led to him taking his own life. >> so terribly sad. thank you so much, nick valencia. crews are searching the gulf of mexico for two boys believed kidnapped by their parents. joshua and his wife sharon are accused of taking the 2 and 4-year-old boys from their grandparents' house in tampa. the grandparents have custody of the boys. the parents are believed to be anti-government and police say they may all be on a sailboat like the one you just saw. police now say this little girl left on a doorstep. is zoey brown of marietta, georgia. brown's parents were arrested friday night. a man found zoe on his doorstep in south carolina tuesday night. the 4-year-old is doing okay. she's in a foster home until officials can try and locate any relatives who may be able to care for her. the championship game for

college basketball's national title is just over 24 hours away now. louisville and michigan are the last of the 68 teams standing. last night louisville knock off wichita state and michigan ousted syracuse. tomorrow night we'll have a winner when the cardinals and wolverines square off right here in atlanta. but as we wait for that tip-off that thousand of sports fans who have flood the city are having a whole lot of fun right there. can you believe that crowd? that is centennial olympic park. turned into a big free concert area. our nichelle turner has found a way to be right front and center of it all. >> reporter: grace potter is on stage right now. she has got the crowd hopping already. when she first started singing, folks started running toward the stage to get in place to enjoy the concert. now after her at 6:00, sting is going to take the stage. okay? sting will be taking the stage. and after him, dave matthews

will close out the show. i'm told there will also be a fireworks show here at the big dance concert series. people have really been coming out here in droves. i was trying to figure outfy can get an official count. last year in new orleans about 140,000 people over the three-day period came out for the concerts. i tried to count myself but i stopped at about 53. tlp are tens there are tens of thousands of people out here. it is packed and everyone is that having a great time. they're taking a break from basketball. tomorrow they'll get back at it but right now it is all about the music. up next, gun control, the issue is back in the center spotlight as president obama heads to newtown, connecticut tomorrow. candy crowley will be here to discuss what the president is trying to do to keep his promise to the victims of the newtown massacre. hello!

how sharp is your business security? can it help protect your people and property, while keeping out threats to your operations? it's not working! yes it is. welcome to tyco integrated security. with world-class monitoring centers and thousands of qualified technicians. we've got a personal passion to help your business run safer, smarter, and sharper. we are tyco integrated security. and we are sharper.

this week president obama heads to connecticut trying to make good on a promise he made to the victim of the newtown shooting there. earlier i spoke to our candy crowley about what's at stake and what lies ahead. okay, candy, so the president heads to connecticut this week. he's hoping that programs connecticut's new gun laws will help him promote tougher national gun legislation? >> he's keeping the pressure up.

and it is incumbent upon him to do it because he promised the families of newtown and other families of victims of gunfire that he would do it. whether the fact that connecticut, which is a heartbeat away from the tragedy in newtown, whether they're passing strict gun laws -- remember, they already had some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, somehow moves the u.s. senate where gun reform goes next on a federal level. it is a hard case to make but the president does know and toss feel that he has to make that case regardless of the outcome, simply because he has made so many promises to do so. so what he, frankly, has said and what some of those around him have said is, give me something that makes the situation better. maybe it won't be about assault weapons. connecticut had a bill that add 1d 00 new weapons to their assault weapons ban.

maybe it won't be about restricting the number of rounds that can be in a magazine. that probably won't happen on capitol hill. but the president and those around him, while they continue to fight for that, understand the political reality of that and what they want is something they can sign to fulfill a promise they feel the nation made post newtown that will, as one aide put it recently, make things better. >> candy, you spoke exclusively with governor dan malloy. he's imploring everyone to get on the bandwagon. he says not doing more is really counterintuitive. >> tell me again why i can't get on a plane without someone doing a background check but i could walk into stores or to gun shows in the united states and no background check is done. it doesn't make any sense. that's why 92% of the american public wants to see legislation that requires universal background checks. >> governor malloy was very

passionate in this interview, understandably so. he was there in that room with those parents when they first learned that their children had been murdered. but what is doable in connecticut is not necessarily doable on a federal level. >> candy crowley, host of cnn's "state of the union." for the last team standing in the ncaa tournament, basketball has become more than just a game. final two go head-to-head tomorrow for the ultimate prize. we take a look at their chances next. so if ydead battery,t tire, need a tow or lock your keys in the car, geico's emergency roadside assistance is there 24/7. oh dear, i got a flat tire.

from 68 college basketball teams down to two. louisville and michigan. they'll square off right here in atlanta tomorrow night for college basketball's national title. rachel nichols has been covering it all. she joins me now along with npr's mike peska. this is going to be an incredible duel for the championship. talking about louisville, it's been since '96 being at the big dance, '93 for michigan. do they come into this with equal footing? >> louisville has not been to this stage since '86. for them that defensive press. we'll see how that holds up

against michigan's star-packed offense. michigan's got a bunch of kids on their team who are the children of nba players. some real big names. people are great bloodlines. we'll see how all of that matches up. then of course louisville's coach rick pitino has had such an interesting career. i actually thought it was great he spoke earlier today about some of the battles he's had over the years. he failed spectacularly when he was the coach of the boston celtics. he says that experience taught him humility. he wishes earlier in his career had he been a bit more humble. he learned. as in any field, politicians, actors, now he gets to this stage, back up at the top of his profession with a different perspective. we'll see if he wins tomorrow what he brings to the table. >> has this, mike, this stage, this arena, this season, is it bringing college basketball to a whole new level? because it seems like the excitement is different this go-round. i don't know if it is all

because of kevin ware but is there something else that really kind of shines the spotlight on college basketball and how these young men really are playing like pros? >> you know what it is? i think a couple things. if you ask the college basketball cognizante, they'd say it was a bad years in terms of people can't make fouls and there were tons of fouls. last year kentucky was so dominant and so inevitable, nobody could slay goliath. here in the postseason you have this kevin ware injury. then have you his substitute tim henderson who made four three-pointers the entire year hit two key ones to really help propel them over wichita state. you add it all up. seems like no matter what happens with the regular season in college basketball, people get into their brackets, people get into the hoopla, the pageantry, then in the finals, if you look at the rarityings they're up. in the finals people come together to watch what should and great game.

irrespective of who wins the star of the show here is clearly kevin ware, even with his injury. you brought in the facemask earlier everybody's walking around with. lied chris yesterday was wearing the jersey of kevin ware. it's very cute. nike and some other manufacturers have come out with the jersey or his number or something about kevin ware. they're making money off it. you can't help but follow up on that question with, well, what about kevin ware? does he come out the winner in all this or is this the support around him, those supporters come out the winners? >> adidas has definitely scaled back its "profiting" off of kevin ware's injury. they've seen this is not good pr for them, much less the right thing to do. they've stopped putting together these t-shirts that were saying "win for ware" and donated some of the money they did make. that issue is a little bit behind him. right now he's trying to sort of contribute to the team. here you have a kid, he was a

big part of this team and now all of a sudden they're at the biggest staej maybe this they'll ever get to when he's on the team. he has to sit there on the sideline with his leg wrapped up. that's been a little bit of after challenge for him himself. i think he's found ways to do that. he came on to the court, hopped on up the steps and screamed defense at them when they were down the other day. he's been trying over these next 24 hours to try to sort of be that supportive person and i think the rest of the country is falling so in love with all of the things that he's trying to do, even without a leg, that -- >> no not nike, strictly adidas and other manufacturers. >> but i don't think they were being mercenary. it was requested by the school, do a shirt for ware. they didn't want to take so many of the profits. i would be the first to point a finger in somebody was trying to take advantage of a situation. this case don't think they are. kids have injuries all the time. it was public, gruesome, triumph over adversity is the staple of sports. but it really does show that, as

many problems as the ncaa and sports have, these teams, these players do not play for money. they kind of play for the love of each other. louisville zem pli that. there's a fair amount of inspiration you can fairly take from it, absolutely. >> is there an explanation? there was a moment with the syracuse coach. he was asked a question about whether or not you'll be there next year. he's been asked that question before but this time after a loss maybe it didn't feel so good. let's take a listen. then mike, i want your analysis on the back side. >> why ask that question? do you -- you going to ask john beilein that question? >> we ask 19-year-olds the same question and they handle it better than you are. >> you ask a 19-year-old kid if he's going to retire? really. if you're going to say something smart at least say something

smart. >> that was a tense moment. is that because of the loss? >> jim boeheim feels he's addressed the question. but the reporter asked the question and did he it a little confrontationally. that's reporter style. but it was a fair question. happened to be first in the press conference. it is not the first thing boeheim wants to answer but the week before i was in washington, he was there. the question was asked rather nicely. he had a breezy discussion. >> it's how the question's asked. >> i think it is all context and coming off a win he talk about, oh, al mcguire took a left inside of a right. that's how he knew. but after a loss you just want to throttle that guy. >> rick pitino, the louisville coach talked about that whole incident today. he said remember, when you ask someone who's over 60, hey, you going to retire, it reminds them about their mortality in a way that it doesn't maybe -- if you're after a win or a little bit younger. in a way it is just a human response. >> do you ask someone who's 19

that question? i think that's where that was coming from. >> he was saying don't push me out on as ice floe just yet. >> i'm still at my peak. >> exactly. >> good to see both of you. you guys big on "mad men"? it premiers this evening. one of the show's cast members will be chatting with me next. and later, at 81, singer and actress rita moreno is sharing all of her secrets from brando to elvis. nothing is off the table. that interview is straight ahead. and those are my final four picks. now over to you charles???? sir charles' single miles card left him blacked out. he's coming to us from home. that's gotta be traveling. now instead of covering the final four, he's stuck covering fourth graders. brick! bobby is 1 for 36. mikey? he keeps taking these low-percentage shots.

people or any sort of group of people, whether ethnicity, race, whatever. i think that just played into sort of -- ginsburg is an "other." he's different from everybody else. he stands out in every different way, whether it be socially. he doesn't have a filter. he doesn't know how to communicate with other people. i think that's just one other element. i think is he from a different world than the rest of the characters on the show and that's just one example. >> in fact, let's watch an example of your character and this story. >> i didn't pick this profession. it picked me. i didn't have any control over it. turns out, it's the only thing i can do. >> your work's very impressive. >> here's some other advantages. i have no hobbies, no interests, no friends. i'm one of those people who talks back to the radio. no girlfriend, no family. i will live here. >> you're like everyone else. >> i've never been accused of that but i really am trying. >> so, when you're in a

successful show like this, how far ahead are you looking into the evolution of the character, the what's next? >> that was my audition scene, by the way. >> really! >> yeah. it was that but with different -- when you go in for the audition, there are different character names so you don't know who you're actually going to be acting with. >> what do you think when you look at that again? >> it kind of remind me of how terrified i was that day. it was john hamm was directing. it was like my first or second day on set. and it was -- i was playing this kind of lunatic as far as i was concerned. and up against elizabeth moss who's an incredible actress herself. as far as looking ahead, on this show you just kind of focus on what's happening that day. you don't try and read too much into stuff because then you might find yourself playing something that's going to happen down the line and the last thing anybody wants to do on this show is give anything away. >> i'm kind of giving you

whiplash now that you told me that was also your audition scene. i wonder when you went back to do it for the real thing, did you do anything differently versus how you played that role during audition? >> yeah. i mean we did it -- i must have done that take maybe ten times or more potentially. there is a lot of different stuff. there were a lot of notes. you've got john who's an incredible director directing. sometimes matt wiener would come down and he has some adjustments as well. >> all right, thanks so much. good luck tonight. 50 children may not have known how lucky they were when they were taken out of europe during the holocaust. their lives were saved. now the amazing story of the couple who rescued them is being shared.

during the holocaust, many jews in nazi occupied countries tried to find any way to escape. friends, relatives, and in some cases strangers helped them avoid the horrors of hitler's death camps. 50 children, the rescue mission of mr. and mrs. kraus, is the hbo documentary of an ordinary american couple who displayed extraordinary courage and compassion to save 50 jewish children from the holocaust risking their own lives in the process. i spoke to liz hurley, the kraus' granddaughter, and robert graun, one of the 50 children the krauss saved. i asked liz why she decided to help tell this story. >> i always knew about it in the background but i think it was only as an adult that i realized this story has to be told. >> it is an incredible story how your grandparents just made this decision knowing that it would

be a very risky one to go overseas, to go to vienna, and try and find 50 children who could be adopted, who would be willing -- whose parents would be willing to let them go to come to the states. tell me more about what their vision was and why 50 kid. >> well, the 50 kids is the easy part. there was my grandfather was part of a fraternal order and they had a summer camp. they'd build an ancillary building with 50 beds. 50 beds, 50 kids. one of the members of the fraternity had come to my grandfather and said we got to save these children. he knew hoe was dealing with. my grandfather was a pistol! and once he got this in his head that this could be done he figured out a way to do it. i do think he somewhat dragged my grandmother into it a bit. she quickly took to it. >> and robert, how old were you

when liz's grandmother, eleanor, kraus and her husband, gale, selected you to come to america? >> almost 11. my sister, who was in the same group, was 13. >> and how were you approached? how did your family discuss with you, here's what's about to happen? how did this news come to you at the age of 11? >> well be, i was quite excited. because i recall i wasn't sad at all because in earlier years, as a 10-year-old, i was fascinated by books written who wrote german fantasy novels for young boys about the wild west, indians and buffaloes and mountain trappers. i was quite carried away with that. my father explained i would be going to america and they'd eventually join us. my parents couldn't join us. me parents were unable to get a

visa to emigrate the united states. they survived the war in vienna. with difficulty. >> did you ever get to see your parents again? >> exactly -- let's see. we left in 1938. was it '38? yeah. i saw them again in 147. >> putting this project together, reading the journal, so many children would not be reunited with their families. the outcomes would vary just as the children's lives would vary. what did that mean to you to share that part of the story, to help reveal that story and involve the 50 children in their own words in the story as adults? >> well, it was really powerful. you know, you grow up, you think of your grandparents and your grandparents. but as my husband was putting this film together, i started to see these people as an adult and

but i am able to bounce back and i did learn that from my mom. but you know, the way i got even with marlon was kind of terrific because at the time that i was really having a hard time with him, one of the many times, elvis presley let it be known through a gossip columnist that he would love very much to meet me. >> and he did. >> of course i read that and the colonel called me up. i love this conversation. miss marena, this is colonel parker. no kidding. he said my client, elvis, would like to meet you. would you like to meet him? and at the time i was so angry at marlon for finding somebody else's clothing in his house. and i thought, why not? i said, yes, i would! >> and what was that relationship like, with elvis? >> well, it was interesting

because it was very surprising in many ways. number one, i don't really think he was hndsomepy think elvis was almost pretty. he was kind of beautiful. and i don't mean that in a derogatory way at all. but just very different kind of looks. had he most for just profile i'd ever seen. perfect teeth. gorgeous shiny thick plaque hair and a very sweet fellow. he was -- there's that snarly look he had when he sang? nothing even remotely like that. he was bashful and -- but he didn't have a whole lot to say. when you have been with marlon brando for a long time as i was at the time, i found it kind of dull. >> really! >> well, yeah! i mean he's a country boy. i was a little puerto rican spitfire and we didn't have a whole lot to say. >> only rita moreno can get away

with that. her spicy memoir is on book stands now. tiger woods want to make history again in us a gus that. he's about to get on the very important green with the best in golf. important green.
