tragic and how desperate michael shannon's search really is. i'm anderson cooper. thanks for watching. i'm anderson cooper, thanks for watching. from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. this is "early start weekend." arm aed, dangerous and on the run. one of the world's most notorious criminals breaks out of prison and now a warrant for his arrest in 26 countries. we'll tell you how he made his stunning escape. >> stronger, stronger is better. tougher. that's how gabby giffords describes herself two years after being shot in the head. her recovery continues, but a new battle is just beginning. cnn's exclusive interviews with the former congresswoman.

it's the rant that rattled the sports world. what kobe a bript said on facebook about the injury that could end his career. it's sunday, april 14th, good morning. i'm alison kosik. and we begin this morning just hours away from north korea's most important holiday of the year, april 15th is the birthday of the country's founder kim il-sung. he died 18 years ago. now his grandson, kim jung-un has southeast asia and the world on threat. many wonder if he'll use his grandfather's birthday to make good on the explosive rhetoric. i'm joined by jim clancy. jim, any evidence at this point that the holiday could be the day that north korea puts its

military might on display? >> no, there's no indication of that whatsoever. the rhetoric has been toned down. you know, in fact, the news of the hour is that as we have been waiting for a response to the call from dill log coming from south korea, there was, indeed, a response that came from the committee for peaceful reunification in north korea and the group, well, they did attack, if you will, their counterpart in the south while he did call the offer of dialogue a cunning ploy, they didn't reject it outright. that is seen as progress here. now, kim jung-un has not been seen in some two weeks. the rhetoric has been toned down. south korean officials on saturday indicated that there was no evidence that any of the mobile missile launchers were being moved around, that has calmed some fears that there might be a test launch, as you

scri described there at the top. the situation does remain tense. we talked to some people on the streets today. some said they weren't any more worried. that john kerry's visit deterred against north korea and they said they felt the situation began to calm. still others weary of that 15th birthday, that date coming up said they were a little apprehensive because there is a tendency for action as to be taken. meantime, in the north of the country, massive gatherings and accolades and tributes paid to kim il-sung the founder and leader of north korea who for so many years ruled it with an iron fist. a lot of people are saying right now, alison, they don't expect the north to go from the bellicose rhetoric all the way

back to embracing dialogue in one fell swoop. they think, instead, what will happen with kim il-sung's birthday, they will attempt to change the subject for a little while. alison? >> the tendency to take action on a day like april 15th. test launch a carrier rocket, you know, that's happened before. >> well, it has happened in the past and not with good effect. if you remember last year, they had a missile launch and it failed. so a lot of people who wonder, if not, if north korea regime will just steer away from that kind of an action that could prove just as embarrassing, you know, if it's not successful, as it will prove their military might, if it was. so, is their situation a dilemma for the north? we have to solve that problem. we have to say that the view from seoul is the temperature has been turned down and we stepped down a little bit.

that doesn't mean we're embracing the negotiations that we're off aered by john kerry and others, but it means, at least, things are calming down. >> jim clancy, thanks. secretary of state is in tokyo this morning. his final stop on an asian tour aimed at defusing tensions in north korea. funneling money to the north and pressure pyongyang to stop developing weapons. some of kim jung-un's supporters are young people because they're taught at a young age to hate america. brian todd met one man who went through it as a child. >> reporter: a captivating sight in pyongyang on friday. they pledge a liegeance to the state and get their red scarves. at another similar event, a

young lady could barely get her words out. >> translator: my heart is pounding. the first time seeing the leader and i'm deeply touched by his love and care. >> look familiar to you? >> what i did all the time when i was in north korea. >> reporter: daniel choy grew up. from as early as he could remember he had to sing songs at school paying homage to kim jung-un. he had to visit monuments in their honor and bow before them. kids who failed to tow the line saw this happen to their families. >> they were sent to farms or very cold place. >> reporter: an official with amnesty internationm said north korean children are meant to monitor each other. even math class involved propaganda. >> five american, american soldier in north korea and brave

north koreans kill them all, kill them all the americans and then how many lived like that? >> reporter: in school he says stones were used to simulate hand grenades. >> they bract practice or throw far or how little. >> that's for gym class. >> there are targets. targets for american soldiers. >> reporter: north korean soldiers are, in fact, brain washed from the time they're first cognizant, as well as for factories, government agencies, farms. analyst gordon flake visited a place called the children's farm in 1996. >> they brought all the kids out to greet us and they came utowith that well rehearsed, glassy eye stare. but, again, in a remarkable way that there is a degree of indoctrination. >> reporter: getting a red scarf means you're in the pioneer.

>> i don't need to make the comparison, it's obvious, right? this is to talitarian state where the children are tools in the state just like it was in hitler and soviet union. >> reporter: designed to get children to follow their leaders to the very end. choy was lucky, he was smuggled out at age 14. >> until i came from north korea, i could die for them. >> reporter: what does he think of kim un-sung and his family? nothing special. north koreans have been so heavily indoctrinated from their youth, that many who escape have high levels of unemployment and alcoholism. among some, he says, even a desire to go bact to north korea. brian todd, cnn, washington. to the middle east, where the palestinian prime minister has resigned. he quit after months of tension with president mamoud abbas.

crew members were onboard. for the first time in months, disgraced former congressman jesse jackson jr. made his first public appe appearance. appeared alongside his father. the reverend jesse jackson spoke about his son's upcoming sentencing for misusing campaign funds, his health and he off aered his support. >> we kept a very low-profile, not much of a comment because we do not want to interfere with the legal process. needless to say, our family loves jesse jr. very much. >> we stand with him, we love him very much. >> jackson jr. didn't address the crowd, but his attorney did ask everybody to recall and ask for leniency before he's sentenced in june. in washington rescue crews are searching for a 60-year-old snow shoer after a pair of

avalanches hit the mountain east of seattle. 300 were injured. tell cnn affiliate that one group was carried 1,000 feet down the mountain by the snow. one of those rescued said the group was holding on to trees to survive. washington state won't be the only area seeing snow this week. spring snow is also headed to the northern plains. oh, my goodness. meteorologist karen maginnis is in the cnn weather center to tell us all about it. where exactly is this snow going to hit? >> for folks across the dakotas big spring snow storm where they could see in excess of. to the south, we're seeing pretty good thunderstorms erupt from omaha over towards des moines. this is the atmosphere really trying to adjust itself to a spring-time pattern. not doing a very good job of it. bismarck 6 to 12 inches and some computer models saying more than

beautiful start to the day. very quit and kind of cool out this morning and the pollen certainly out. i'm sneezing and blowing my nose and right close by at augusta, georgia. the final day at the masters. one of golf's biggest tournaments and although there are some unfamiliar names at the top of the leaderboard. tiger woods is still in the mix after being penalized in his quest for his fourth green jacket. patrick snow is live in augusta, georgia. patrick, tell me, what is the latest? >> alison, welcome to augusta where the sun isn't even up yet but upon which golfer will it be shining later on sunday. that remains to be seen. we're expecting an exciting finish. the 77th masters. let me whisk you to the top of the leaderboard. makes rather nice reading for branch. he's sitting pretty at the top at 7 under par and then a former

champion, cubrabrera and also v close to winning the british open last july in northwest england. and mark leashman and another australian player at 5 under. could this be the year that an australian gets to win the masters. tiger woods four shots back currently at 3 under par. let me talk to you about the young american player. he has four pga tour victories to his name and, in 2008 at this very event at the masters he was tied for third place. so, he certainly very emotional. he certainly wants to come back and try to put that right. but real kudos to him because during saturday's third round his first bogey round ever.

quick one on angel cabrera a 43-year-old from argentina. he knows exactly what he's doing out here at augusta. he won here in 2009. won as many majors as he has pga tour victories. and he won here, as they say, in 2009. he is a tough competitor. he is vastly experienced and he will be extremely naive to write him off. one talented player. alison? >> let's go back and talk about tiger woods' drop gate. how did he play after losing two strokes for him hitting from the wrong spot? >> he played rather well. you know, he came out all guns blazing. he immediately birdied the first hole on saturday. that was a real statement of intent, if you like. but, i have to say it, there were one or two cinconsistencie

coming back and he did gather some momentum. what i like about it, fighting spirit is there. hole number 15. the hole he had all that controversy where he incurred the two-shot penalty. he played that absloolutely beautifully. he got himself to three under par. if he had not had that two-shot penalty, he would be at 5 under par and within two shots of the leaders, still ready to pounce. he is still in the mix, but still four shots back and an awful lot of very good players in front of him who are playing very good golf at the moment. it is going to be very, very difficult for tiger woods to go on and win a 15th major title. alison? >> thanks very much. jumping to the nba now, kobe bryant is healing from his most serious injury and it's not clear when the lakers superstar will play, again. the 34-year-old tore his

achilles' tendon friday and despite undergoing successful surgery, it could take him six to nine months to heal. he could ride the bench for much of the 2014 season. bryant react aed with disappointment on social media. this is such bs. all the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that i've done millions of times. the frustration is unbearable, the anger is rage. why did this happen? now i'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player or better at 35? how in the world am i supposed to do that? i have no clue. do i have the consistent will to overcome this thing? maybe i should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that -- and then he goes on and on on his facebook page. certainly everybody is talking about it. even being talked about on twitter.

this morning, police across europe are on an manhunt after a brazen prison escape. he held four guns hostage at gun point and then used explosives to blast his way through five prison doors. helicopters are in the air searching for him and an arrest warrant has been issued in 26

countries with his name on it. with us now from london, where do police think he's gone at this point and how did he get the explosives and the guns in the first place to break out? >> that's a very good question. one thing we have to keep in mind, alison, prison doors are pretty thick and heavy. he must have had a substantial amount of explosives. focusing on a female visitor they received yesterday. some believe it is his wife or ex-wife. it isn't clear at this point in time one thing the authority are saying, this prison is absolutely inadequate to hold someone like that. everybody knew this was a criminal master mind and everybody knew he was dangerous. one thing that i was reading up on, french prison guards are not allowed to always search prison inmates. they have random searches every once in a while, but not all the time. therefore, it appears as though it was possible for this guy to get substantial amounts of explosives into this prison and then blast his way out through five prison doors, as you just

said. they're looking for him right now, but, certainly, some very tough questions being asked in france right now as to how this was possible, alison. >> we know he was in prison for armed robberies. what has made him so notorious? he wrote an autobiography about his crimes. >> he was the alkapone-type criminal who loved to court the media, as well. becoming a petty thief to this mast mastermind. a classic criminalest. he did not engage in cybercrime or anything. he armed many, he robbed money transports. he was the master behind one in 2010 and spent a total of about ten years in prison and came out and said that he had changed but then he said he was behind another arm aed robbery, as well. he is someone who seems to have a very brilliant, almost, if you will, criminal mind. someone who is behind very elaborate plots to get these

armed robberies done. someone who was very much in the media, almost a celebrity but with a very criminal mind. >> fred, thank you. a candid interview with congresswoman gabby giffords. her road to to recovery and surprising insight on how she feels about guns. this is a cnn exclusive. cereal s a that's recommended by doctors? it's post shredded wheat. recommended by nine out of ten doctors to help reduce the risk of heart disease. post shredded wheat is made with only one ingredient: one hundred percent whole grain wheat, with no added sugar or salt. try adding fruit for more health benefits and more taste in your bowl. it's the ideal way to start your heart healthy day. try post shredded wheat. this has been medifacts for post shredded wheat.

broad smile. the gabby giffords we knew before she was shot. gone is the short hair and thin frame we saw at the beginning of her recovery. but she knows she will never be the same. in your recovery process, do you want to find and discover the old gabby giffords or do you want to sort of rediscover another new gabby giffords? >> stronger. stronger, better. tougher. stronger, better, tougher. >> being with giffords it's immediately clear she understands virtually everything going on around her. she follows conversations, reacts a, off a unsolicited ideas but is still a struggle to turn her ideas into words. like trying to explain her days. >> occupation therapy, yogurt -- >> yoga.

>> yoga. >> the right-handed giffords still has no use of her right hand. that hand is paralyzed. so is her right leg. she wears a brace and literally drags it with her good left leg to walk. she also doesn't see very well. how is your vision? >> not really -- >> not great. >> not great at all. >> so, gabby's blind to the right side. right, in both eyes. >> both eyes. >> so she has no peripheral vision to the right. she's looking at you, she can't see anything to the right -- >> nothing over there. >> but you can easily see how she and her husband, mark kelly, keep up her spirit. humor. >> which is good for me. if i want to sneak up on her -- >> i wouldnyou wouldn't want to that. for giffords and kelly, a retired astronaut and space commander, this is the new

normal. >> it's good in a lot of good ways. >> reporter: like working and living together now. before she was shot. they had a commuter marriage. she jetted between her congressional marriage and worked in washington, d.c. he lived in houston, texas, where he worked at the space center. this is the first home they bought and live in together. another plus. before giffords was shot she had a rocky relationship with kelly's two teenage daughters from a previous marriage. but the sort of tense relationship that you had with your daughters, that's changed. >> yes, it's changed. >> that's a positive that has come out of this tragedy. >> a lot better. a lot better. >> well, they've also grown up a little bit, too. >> as a family, we have evolved because of certainly, you know, because of what happened. so, it's brought us all closer together. >> giffords now fully understands that six people died and 13 were injured because a

deranged young man, jared loughner, set out to assassinate her. she brought him up unsolicited. kelly spoke at his sentencing as giffords sat stoicily staring him down. to sit in the courtroom and look at the man who shot you through the head. what was that like? >> beady eyes. >> well, yeah, he had some interesting expressions on his face. and she did not look away. she stared him -- >> beady eyes. >> did he look back at you? >> oh, yes, yes, yes. >> did you get a sense that there was any kind of remorse? any kind of understanding of what he put you through and what he did to the six people who didn't survive? >> i'm so sad.

mentally ill. >> newly released court documents reveal that loughner's parents new anything was wrong and they did not get him help. i'm curious, have you ever heard from his parents? >> no. >> would you want to? >> not really. >> as a parent, you know, you certainly on one level you can e empathize with somebody that the kid did a horrific thing. at the same time, there were indications of his mental illness. the school knew about it, his parent knew about it and he didn't have, didn't seem to have a lot of options for good treatment. >> giffords suffered yet another tragedy a few months ago. her father, spencer, with whom she had a special bond died suddenly. he taught her a lot about humor, strength and responsibility. handing her the keys to his tire business when she was just 26 years old.

giffords grit and determination also comes from her mother, gloria, a force of nature. an artist whose home is in the middle of the desert, miles from civilization. you have to go off road to get there. so many desert rocks that on the way home kelly got a flat tire. took this cell phone video of giffords, daughter of a tire store owner. gloria giffords sat by her daughter's hospital bed for countless hours and played a central role in giffords' recovery. and maybe a sliver of hope for giffords to have a child of her own. when she was shot she was in the middle of fertility treatment. you were in the middle of ivf.

they still have two frozen embryos, but given her injuries, they likely to have to use a surrogate. >> i don't know. >> we talked about it. we talked about it. haven't made a decision yet. >> she has had her moments of anger and frustration, but that does not define her. resentful? >> no. >> how is that possible? >> move ahead. >> you are happy. where does it come from? how do you keep this kind of optimism given what you've been through and what you're still going through? >> i want to make the world a better place. i want to make the world a better place. >> and these days for giffords trying to make the world a better place means lobbying her former caolleagues to pass new laws curbing gun violence. they talk about their efforts and invite dana bash to watch kelly do something that would surprise you. target practice with giffords

looking on. want younger looking eyes that say wow? with olay, here's how. new regenerist eye and lash duo. the cream smooths the look of lids... softens the look of lines. the serum instantly thickens the look of lashes. see wow! eyes in just one week with olay.

former congresswoman gabby giffords was killed almost two years ago by a man with a gun. today her brain injuries make speaking difficult, but an active spokeswoman for new restrictions on guns. cnn chief congressional correspondent danna bash visited giffords for a rare interview at her home. giffords and mark kelly are still deeply emersed in gun culture. >> gabby giffords will never be the same after being shot through the head. yet one thing hasn't changed. ironically, her appreciation for guns. in fact rsh target practice is still a form of entertainment at her mother's house, deep in the arizona desert. >> he's aiming for my pot. >> mark kelly using planting pots and water bottles as

targets as giffords watches from the patio with her mother cheering him on. >> excellent, excellent, excellent. >> kelly isn't shooting with just any kind of gun. >> this is the same kind of gun gabby was shot with. a gloc. a 9 millimeter gloc. it held 33 rounds and this when it's full holds 17. every round hit somebody, we think. >> how long have you had this gun? >> i gave this to gabby as a gift. >> when? >> a number of years ago. she's a gun owner. you know, she's from the west. >> still, we asked the question a lot of inkrejials people would ask. shooting a gun after his wife was shot through the head? >> well, gabby used to like shooting a gun, too, occasionally. not all the time. gabby owns the same type of gun she was shot with.

she didn't want to get rid of it. so, now there's a round in the chamber. >> reporter: to be sure, this is meant to serve a very political purpose. to show giffords and kelly are legitimate gun owners and incredible message for their new cause. kelly showed a us a gun he recently bought and videotaped to demonstrate how easy to get a background checks and why they want them expanded to private sales. >> when we timed it, 35 minutes and 26 seconds. you could do the same thing at the gun show, where people are currently not subject to a background check, in some states. >> reporter: americans responsible for solutions in january, the second anniversary of the tragic shooting that left giffords partially paralyzed and robbed the politician of her gift of speech. >> optimistic. >> i am, too, especially when

we're talking about universal background check. >> reporter: the sandy hook shooting spurred them to take a stand. >> sandy brook -- >> brain damage from giffords' own gunshot wounds make it difficult to find words. >> sandy brook. >> sandy brook. >> sandy hook. sandy hook elementary. something we just can't -- you know, 20 first graders. >> just died. >> in their classrooms. >> awful. >> the couple originally called for a ban on assault weapons and limits to high-capacity magazines. giffords made a dramatic plea to senators. >> be bold. be courageous. americans are counting on you. >> but they now admit there are limits on what is politically realistic. >> if you were to name the number one thing that congress could do to prevent the kind of

violence that you were the victim of, what would it be? >> background checks. >> yeah, certainly. without a doubt. >> giffords has learned to navigate an ipad for e-mail with her left hand, because her right hand is paralyzed. but most of her communicating with former colleagues pressing them for new gun laws goes through kelly, mostly on the phone. though she doesn't have to say much to make her point, especially in person. >> when gabby sits in their office and tells them how important universal background check bill is, they hear that. you know, she's a former colleague, she was doing her job, like they do every single day when she was nearly killed. >> giffords represented this red arizona district on the mexican border filled with voters who expected her to defend their gun rights. she pushed to overturn a gun ban in the district of columbia and voted to allow guns in national

parks. a conservative democrat herself, she knows first hand how politically hard it is for her former colleagues to support gun restrictions. >> it's tough. >> it could be a tough issue. that's because of the influence. >> yeah. >> of the nra. you know, and the gun lobby. >> what do you think about the nra's argument that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun? >> it doesn't work. it doesn't work. >> but realistically, had she not been shot would the pro gun congresswoman been open to stricter gun laws? >> candidly, would you have said yes? >> yes. >> i think it depends on what those measures were. gabby, gabby was middle of the road -- >> middle of the road. >> she was, you know -- >> straight in the middle. >> there is no question the gun culture is deeply ingrained in giffords. it has to be to still expose herself to guns, even after her

near fatal shooting. what is it like to sit and hear the gunshot go off? does it startle you? >> no. no. >> i think it's because gabby doesn't remember the gunshot going off the day she was injured. right, you don't remember that? >> no. >> if you could, would you shoot a gun today? >> yes. >> we've talked about it. gabby's actually held it. hasn't shot one since she's been injured. but a few days ago she was actually trying to aim with it with her left hand. >> is your hope to be able to shoot a gun again? >> no, i don't know. >> not a big priority in your life right now? >> not at the top of the list. >> still, what's so devastatingly altered her life now infuses her life with purpose. i've seen it written that it is irony that you are such a good spokesperson to curb gun violence because you can't speak very well. >> i guess that's kind of maybe,
