runners improve and enjoy running is that they don't get injured. so be ware. good luck. that's going to wrap things up. let us know what you think of the show, cnn.com/sanjay and fallow me on twitter. a check of your top stories next on "cnn newsroom." north korea is about to mark the birth of its founder. will the country celebrate? we'll have a live report from the region? she made a portrait of the pope and now it's drawing international headlines. we'll talk to the artist who's making a lot of people angry. and it's the rant that rattled the sports world. what kobe bryant said on facebook about the injury he fears could end his career.
5:01 am
i'm alison kosik, it's 8:00. so glad you're with us. john kerry is aimed at tamping down tensions in north korea. he's pushing for a diplomatic solution to pyongyang's explosive threats and stresses that the region of the future of the world and the region depends on it. here's what he said last hour. >> but our choice is to negotiate. our choice is to move to the table and find a way for the region to have peace. and we would hope that whatever considerations or fears north has of the united states or of others in the region that they would come to the table in a responsible way and negotiate that. >> and our diana magna is in tokyo this hour.
5:02 am
what else did secretary kerry have to say? >> hi, alison. i think one very important caveat that he had promise was that north korea should come to the table but only if they showed a commitment towards getting rid, dismantling their nuclear program. and i think one very interesting thing that came out of this whole tour, he started in seoul, went to beijing yesterday, today in tokyo with this sort of huge advance that he made with beijing where essentially he managed to secure a commitment from them that they were as a matter of national policy committed to a denuclearized korean peninsula. all four countries will over the next few days will get together at a very high level and try and work out a framework to get
5:03 am
north korea back to the negotiating table. so that really was the thrust of his press conference with the foreign minister today in tokyo, alison. >> so what's been north korea's reaction to kerry's trip? >> well, so far he hasn't -- north korea has not been able to respond. but it's fairly nuance. so for example he was in seoul on friday. that very day north korea and the north korean news agency came out with another threat against japan saying that if japan provoked it in any way at all it would strike japan before any other country accusing japan essentially of sort of imperial ambitions and trying to reconquer the korean peninsula. the korean prime minister has said she would like to try and negotiate talks with north korea. their response to that has been to not exactly put them off the table. they've basically said, you
5:04 am
know, they sort of ridiculed the request but didn't rule it out all together. so that is sort of where we stand slightly toned down rhetoric from north korea, but we wait to see what their response is to the statement from secretary kerry here in tokyo. >> okay, diana magnay reporting from tokyo, thank you. north korea is holding its hard line. just today it rejected a request by the south for dialogue, this as pyongyang gears up to celebrate the country's most important holiday. april 15th is the birthday of north korea's late founder kim il-sung. his grandson, kim jong-un, is supreme leader. many wonder if he'll use his grandfather's birthday to make good on his explosive rhetoric. >> kim jong-un has not been seen now in two weeks. the rhetoric has cooled. no one expects the north to embrace this dialogue with the south immediately. for now, it appears north is willing to simply change the
5:05 am
subject. north korea began marking the birthday, the day of the sun as they call it for founding father kim il-sung. sitting at attention workers party loyalists faced a massive portrait of their great leader and listened to glowing recollections of his rule. no one smiled after all he has been dead for almost 20 years, but everyone applauded. off camera even the rhetoric aimed at pyongyang's critics was relatively muted. the puppet forces, meaning south korea, let reptile media slander the north and the biggest festival of our people's day of the sun, said one statement. conservative groups in south korea mock the kim family dynasty. and for them the rebuke this time could be considered mild. it warns simply the group of traitors will be wiped out to the last man. most south koreans on the other hand ignore the huge celebrations staged every year in the north in favor of spring
5:06 am
outings to shop, see friends and enjoy the weather. the atmosphere in south korea is very good, one young man told us, because president park had a good conversation with john kerry the other day and talked about peace. but a young woman weighed in saying, i worry because kim il-sung's birthday is coming up and i expect some action. i just watch the news. our situation here is very unstable. there is a need for dialogue in the peninsula. everyone knows it. kim jong-un included. but north continues to warn as long as the south has an attitude of confrontation, it's not going to be possible. everyone it seems is going to have to wait. jim clancy, cnn, seoul. this morning police across europe are on an international manhunt after a brazen prison escape.
5:07 am
french authorities say he held four guards hostage at one point and used explosives to blast his way through five prison doors. an arrest warrant has been issued in 26 countries with his name on it. he became notorious for his dramatic style in several armed robberies before going to prison. police say faid is armed and dangerous. at least 33 people are dead after a bus packed with passengers, many of them doctors and nurses, kareened o careened cliff in peru. state media reports the death toll may rise. it happened north of lima. investigators are trying to determine how and why a plane in bali overshot a runway and landed in the ocean. the plane was new and had only been flying since march. amazingly only one person was injured when that plane went into the ocean. 18 others were taken to the hospital as a precaution. more than 100 passengers and

crew members were on board. texas authorities investigating the murders of two local prosecutors have arrested this man after searching his house friday. eric williams is charged with making a terrorist threat but not with anything related to the murders. he was a justice of the peace in kaufman county until he was convicted last year of stealing public property. the slain prosecutors mike mcclelland and hasse handled the case. a port canaveral police sergeant has been fired because he had shooting targets that represented trayvon martin. he was the teen killed by george zimmerman in february of last year. cnn affiliate wesh reports that sergeant john king brought the targets to a gun range and offered them to other officers. >> he offered one of our other officers a target that was the
5:09 am
profile of trayvon martin. the officer rejected that and told him to, you know, that he should put those back in his car and shouldn't even possess something like that. >> officials in port canaveral plan to apologize to martin's family. for the first time in months disgraced former congressman jesse jackson jr. has made a public appearance alongside his father. he appeared at a rainbow push gathering yesterday. the reverend jesse jackson spoke about his son's upcoming sentencing for missing campaign funds, his health and offered his support. >> we kept a very low profile, not much of a comment because we did not want to interfere in any way 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

"this is such b.s., 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 and rage. why the hell did this happen. makes no sense. now i'm supposed to come back from this and be the same. i have no clue. do i have consistent will to overcome this thing. maybe this is how my bookends. maybe father time has defeated me. then again, maybe not. bryant is the nba's fourth all-time leading scorer and currently ranks among the top three in scoring this season averaging 27.3 points. now to golf, it's the final day at the masters, one of the sports biggest tournaments. although there are some unfamiliar names at the top of the leader board, tiger woods is in the mix after being

they won't admit it, but most politicians, they love publicity. but it seems more and more are getting it for all the wrong reasons, basically for saying stupid things. two weeks ago alaska congressman used the term wetback in his speech and he got hammered by republican leaders. not everyone learns from every highly publicized slur. another politician went down the racial slur this week and he's apologizing too. kwch has the story. >> i didn't mean to offend anyone and i certain think -- i apologize for making the mistake and fully recognize what i did wrong. >> the mistake that county commissioner jim gile made using a racial slur in a previous county commission meeting. he was talking about repairing a roof when he said. >> i guarantee it would be the

same if you go to the -- >> what did you say, jimmy? >> reporter: gile claims this is not a word that's usually in his vocabulary. >> i don't use it at all. it's just one of those things it was there and it came in. >> he's not that kind of a guy. he's not like that. >> i would like him to resign. that's how he could earn my respect. >> reporter: christina spoke at tuesday's meeting revealing she voted for gile. she talked about her disappointment. >> recently, mr. gile used the most ugly word. it truly hurlts my heart. >> reporter: the commission decides despite his pleas they want gile to remain in his position. >> thanks to samantha anderson
5:24 am
for that report. gile's remarks had been condemned by parties both issuing statements distancing themselves from the 69-year-old county commissioner. so tomorrow's tax day, but the president and the vice president, they're not worried. they've already filed and released their tax returns. tax forms show the president and first lady michelle obama earned $608,611 last year. the first family saw their income drop slightly because sales of the president's books decline. the obamas paid a little over $112,000 in taxes and gave about $150,000 to 33 different charities. vice president joe biden and his wife jill reported income of just over $385,000. they paid $87,851 in taxes. now, i'm pretty sure the president and vice president they played it straight on their tax forms this year, but this next bunch i'm thinking not. we're looking at some wild and crazy tax deduction stories. here are five favorites from
5:25 am
bankrate.com that caught our eye. let's count them down. number five, a texas man deducts a smokestack of all things that sits on his property as a charitable donation to the city because it's considered a local landmark. guess what, he's able to writeoff more than $100,000. good for him. number four, a california businessman who owns a string of pie shops tries to expense his lunch because he says he ate pies for dessert to study the ingredients for research. that didn't fly with the irs. number three, a texas landlord is also unsuccessful when trying to deduct his dog's vet fees explaining he used his dog as his security system for the various properties he owned. number two, an elderly woman tries deducting costs for a swimming pool because her doctor told her it was good therapy for her knee. turns out the pool didn't belong to her. it was her son's. and had absolutely no connection to her except of course for the swimming. okay, finally, the number one craziest deduction, a retired

5:32 am
meetings in china he came out with some pretty positive language. he said both the u.s. and china are committed to resolving this situation with north korea peacefully, that both countries want to work toward a peaceful denuclearization of the korean peninsula and both calling on pyongyang to not take any provocative steps that could further destabilize the region. this is important because the u.s. sees china as north korea's main ally in the region. and there's been concern that china isn't really using its influence to get kim jong-un to stop this, to dial back i should say, this bellicose rhetoric, this warlike rhetoric we've been hearing. when kerry arrived in japan he met with the japanese foreign minister and talked about what the u.s. and allies and china how they want to see the situation resolved. let's listen to that. >> we would hope that whatever considerations or fears north has of the united states or of others in the region that they
5:33 am
would come to the table in a responsible way and negotiate that. we are confident that we can address the concerns with respect to their security and find ways together with china and the republic of korea and japan and russia and the members of the six-party talks, we can find a way to resolve these differences at a negotiating table. >> now, senator kerry said no options are left off the table, but the ultimate goal is peaceful resolution. they want to see north korea end its nuclear program. they want to see a denuclearization of the korean peninsula. this is the only way they think they can bring stability to the region. >> what is the white house saying about the situation moving forward? >> well, the white house if you ask them they say we're constantly monitoring the situation. those are the key words we hear. their goal is to end this peacefully. they are open to talks. so this is why secretary kerry
5:34 am
has traveled over to the region to try to diffuse the situation. white house officials here are still closely monitoring it. alison. >> athena jones at the white house, thank you. coming up at 9:00 a.m. on "state of the union," senator john mccain joins candy crowley on the north korea threat. that's at the top of the hour right here on cnn. i want to show you something. look at this portrait of pope benedict. do you notice anything odd? up next we're going to tell you about the message behind the portrait and the very unusual material used to make it. when you have diabetes... your doctor will say get smart about your weight. i tried weight loss plans... but their shakes aren't always made for people with diabetes. that's why there's glucerna hunger smart shakes. they have carb steady, with carbs that digest slowly to help minimize blood sugar spikes. and they have six grams of sugars.

the republican national committee has voted to reaffirm its stance opposing same sex marriage. members at the spring meeting in hollywood also urged the supreme court to uphold the sanctity of marriage. the move comes after social conservatives were outraged that the gop may be softening its tone on same sex marriage in an attempt to attract younger voters. and recently two republican senators came out in support of same sex marriage. mark kirk of illinois and rob portman of ohio who has a gay son. but republican from arizona also has a gay son and says he does not support same sex marriage. he told cnn's anderson cooper that they still have a good relationship. >> no matter what our differences in opinion are, we just have to love and support each other. and since then our relationship has really grown stronger.

5:40 am
benedict made in 2009 when he said aids in africa cannot be stopped by distributing condoms and said condoms could actually increase the hiv problem. over three years the artist took 17,000 colorful condoms, spent 135 hours unwrapping and unrolling them and spent another 135 hours weaving them through wire mesh to make her statement. now she's hoping it can help further prevent hiv. nicki johnson joins me now from milwaukee. nicki, your portrait has made headlines around the world. did you expect this kind of attention? >> oh, no, not at all. it's been a complete surprise. and a welcome one. >> what exactly is the message that you are trying to send? >> well, i believe our world leaders are responsible to support public health. and i'm hoping that through making this piece to engage a --
5:41 am
to engage further conversation about the importance of preventing hiv/aids. >> now, some people have called it disgusting. some are calling it a publicity stunt that is really just making headlines. how do you respond to that? >> well, also there's been quite a bit of support. there have been people who have said that i have been brave to make a piece like this because it is a challenging subject. >> do you think it's going to have the impact you're intending? >> i'm hoping so. in fact, i've just decided to put a percentage of the proceeds towards benefitting a nonprofit that helps with hiv -- that helps with preventing hiv so that the message of the piece can go further. >> some may say this is really
5:42 am
disrespectful. >> that's true. there are also a lot of people who think that it's time to have this conversation. in fact, there's very little power an artist has over the type of reception their work will have. and this piece has traveled across the world in a viral way over the past month. and i've done interviews with numerous forms of media in many languages. >> okay. niki, so you finished the portrait the week pope benedict resigned. now there's a new pope, pope francis has a history of opposing contraception. how does that make you feel? >> well, i always hope that, you know, there's always room for change and always room for adopting policies that help the most poor, which are women and children. family planning is a great way to limit the size of family and to promote people being able to
5:43 am
better their lives. >> in a cnn/orc poll in march 76% of u.s. catholics, they said the pope should allow catholics to use birth control. so clearly people don't agree with these teachings. do you still think your message is still relevant? >> well, i think it is relevant because of the way that this story has been embraced by the world. i absolutely think it's time for this dialogue. and i think that because of the ti timing in the pass over of the role of being pope from benedict to francis that it gave an opportunity for the voice of question to come forward. and i think that 76% of americans that were polled -- american catholics, is a great statement towards the type of change that people here would like to see. >> all right. niki johnson, thank you so much for your time.
