following a long standing feud. flash flooding causing misery in parts of texas. a storm roared through yesterday dumping 8 inches of rain in some areas. fire crews had to rescue 150 drivers from hwaters. at the height of the more than 120,000 people were left without power. dzhokhar tsarnaev is in a federal prison hospital this evening and we're told he's now not saying much to anybody in law enforcement, not since he was read his miranda rights. key republicans in congress are furious that tsarnaev was given those rights so soon after his capture. they blame attorney general eric holder. take a listen. >> the decision to mirandize him was one the magistrate made and that was totally consistent with the laws that we have. we had a two-day period that we question him under the public safety exception. i think everything was done

appropriatel for the attorney general to say they got good can stop the interrogation. this isn't columbo. matter of life and death. i don't know of any case walk that says a magistrate has the right to come into a hospital room and stop an interrogation. i don't know why the attorney general of the united states consented to that. the fbi wanted to continue the interrogation. and eric holder now said he approved that interrogation being stopped, it's absolutely disgraceful. >> more on the miranda debates coming up this hour. i want to bring in susan federal prison that medical center in devins massachusetts where dzhokhar tsarnaev is under 24-hour guard. you found out some details of what it's like inside that facility what kind of place it is and what are the conditions like for dzhokhar tsarnaev? >> reporter: hile there are some parts of this prison that are minimum security, there are also maximum security areas, and not surprisingly that's where dzhokhar tsarnaev is in fact

located. he's under 24 hour surveillance. they are constantly checking on him. and we're learning from a prisonperson today that in this cell, which measures about 10 feet by 10 feet with a steel door they slip food through when it comes that time, that he is actually talking -- we don't know whether he's talking with investigators or even with his own attorney. we do know that he is speaking freely with the people the medical personnel, that are taking care of him. the doctors and nurses. but as to the rest well the prison's not saying much about that. don? >> susan, this weekend we found out that the russian government has had their ears on the tsarnaev family for some time. how much information are the russians sharing? >> reporter: well that is the question. they continue to swirl around this disclosure that the russians had actually been wiretapping the mother of the bombing suspects in early .y 2011.

remember that sources 24 hours ago told us these are sources with knowledge of the investigation, that, in fact the russians had eavesdropped on a phone call made to the bombing suspect's mother by one of her sons, again, in early 2011 and the conversation involved jihad, but the conversation is described as vague. we don't know whether by jihad they meant a struggle a specific attack was discussed? that information remains unclear, but it's also unclear, don, as to why the russians only revealed this to the fbi within the last few days and not back in 2011 when the fbi was first asked by the russians to start taking a look at tamerlan tsarnaev. what everyone wants to know. were they holding back? if so why? don? >> all right. susan candiotti in devins massachusetts. thank you, susan. of course this is

definitely not an open and shut case. the fbi is still trying to determine if the tsarnaev brothers are the only people responsible. that may take some time. bob is with me live. bob is a former cia operative and a cnn contribu so bob, how about that? you're not convinced the tsarnaev brothers pulled this off alone, are you? >> oh absolutely not, especially the last couple days it's come out the circuity on this bomb was complicated, wasn't taken off entirely from "inspire" magazine, wasn't downloaded from the internet. somebody was soldering and welding the stuff together who knew what they were doing. i doubt the two young men learned on their own. they were either shown by somebody else in the united states perhaps in dagestan. i haven't seen anything yet that would tell me. more and more we2% see this is a fairly complicated bomb and needed help. you and i can sit down and make one of these things and

expect them to go off, especially five of them. it doesn't work that way. >> all right. you talk about people say they wereas some sophistication to them? talk to me about the detonators why are the detonators such an important key to the investigation, bob? >>ators are difficult to make. they're explosives confined in a small space. has to be the right sequence of chemicals if you're making them from black powder. that's another question altogether. the electrical connection is difficult. i've made these before. i've made a lot of them. most of them don't go off until you really get a lot of experience. so all i'm saying is these two young men went out and practiced on their own, practiced a lot. how they did it without being spotted, i don't know. or somebody showed them. i just think alternative that they got completely lucky is unlikely. >> all right. bob baer thank you very much. appreciate your expertise. you know a lot of money is pouring in here. a fund that has reached more than $26 million. that's a huge outpouring of support for the victims here in

boston. but how do they divvy that money up? i'm going to ask a man who will be in charge of doing just that. that's next. let's bing it on.

down, no tickets just spend some money. don't have to pay for meters just spend money here. millions and millions of dollars. are you going to be okay? >> i think twhooertter than ever. the resolve of our staff, people in this community, have pulled together like you wouldn't believe. you see the boston strong everywhere. yeah exactly, it's the same all the way up and down boylston. so it's been fantastic. >> the raised $26 million to the victs of the bombings but what costs will those victims face? it's nearly impossible to put a price tag on the suffering of the victims and the loved ones. but that's a job facing kenneth feinberg. he also has a lot of experience than anyone on the planet at this after being in charge of similar funds after 9/11 and also the bp by telephone from bethesda maryland. thank you for joining us mr. feinberg. how are you doing? >> glad to be on. thanks very much. >> when you took over the compensation fund for the bp oil still you said "it's not rocket

science, it's a judgment." how do you begin to make that judgment when it comes to this? >> first of all, how much money is there to distribute? how quickly do we want to get the money out the e a lot of money, but considering the magnitude of the deaths and the physical injuries, you have to dampen expectation exctation. i doubt that anybody will be made whole by these allocations. >> yeah. so let's delve into that a little bit more. considering the injuries you said and what happened. how are you going to determine compensation for the families of the people who died? can you assign the same value to the life of an 8-year-old boy as a 26-year-old police officer, for example? >> you most certainly can. all lives are equal in my mind. this is not a litigation or a tort case where the stockbroker or the banker should get more than the waiter of the bus boy

or the cop or the fireman. here we have'@ four deaths arising out of these bombings. we will allocate out of the $25 million or $30 million a percentage, like in aurora colorado or virginia tech it was around 65% or 70% of the total. then we took that money and divided it up equally among all those who died. 32 died in virginia tech. 16 died in aurora colorado. then the remaining money we distributed to the physically injured. some terrible injuries in boston. depending on how long the physically injured victim was hospitalized. we could do something like that in boston. >> so it's really level of trauma and whether you -- the people who lost lives are the top tier, and then you go into the injuries from that and level

of injuries. my question is you said you take it and divide it equally, but money constantly comes in. does the money ever run out? will some victims likely -- they're going to need help for life. how does that work mr. feinberg? >> these programs you know money that comes in through privatedp donation we may leave the fund open for a few extra months. make one payment right away. and then depending on the remaining funds, let's say, by labor day, we could make a second distribution depending on how much money there is. but it's very important -- you're absolutely right -- no amount of mon distributed fairly quickly over the next month or two is going to provide the type of long-term financial stability that a double amputee or somebody hospitalized with a brain injury or something, there's just not enough money for those purposes. >> yeah. listen, tragedy is tragedy. loss is loss. when you're looking at something like the bp oil spill, for

example, that's quite different than when you're looking at something like this where people have lost their lives. is this more difficult for you in a sense to do this? >> well in a sense it is but i must tell you, i learned in the bp oil spill that people who confronted acute financial uncertainty because their livelihood ended, they couldn't fish they couldn't shrimp they couldn't -- their hotels were empty. they didn't know how long this would be permanent or whether they would gradually get the business back. do not underestimate the emotion in all of these cases when people really are innocent victims, they did no harm and now they find themselves confronting a horrible trauma and they have to deal with it. and these funds provide some modest help but i try and you're not going to be able to

distribute money that will satisfy people. it's n this is a very tough question to ask, but i've got -- >> i'll give you an example. 9/11 we gave on average $2 million to the families of those who lost loved ones. many times, don, they would come to me and say, keep the money, mr. feinberg bring my husband back bring my son back. i don't want the money, i want you to find to bring my husband who was in the world trade center bring him back to life. i would say, i can't do that i don'tr. i wish i could help. all i can do is provide you some small financial help. and that offer very often rings very hollow with people who have lost loved o suffered terrible, heinous, double amputations or physical injuries. >> no amount of money can heal a

broken heart, can mend a broken heart. thank you, ken feinberg. we appreciate you coming on. we're live boston. we can't help but be inspired by the courage that's being shown here. we're going to take a look at how bostonians are coming together after this tragedy. that's next.

"42" was third. the other major opener "the big wedding" fizzled in fourth despite a star-studded cast. russian authorities have turned over an intercepted conversation between one of the tsarnaev brothers and their

mother in dagestan from 2011. u.s. officials say the wiretap communication discussed jihad, but that conversation was vague. cnn's phil black has the latest from moscow. >> reporter: cnn has been told russian authorities intercepted a communication between the bombing suspects' mother and one of the suspects in which they were said to be discussing jihad. this information comes from a u.s. official not russian authorities, and he says that this recording was made in 2011 but only made available to u.s. officials within the last few days. the reason for the delay is not known. it is known that back in 2011 russian authorities asked the fbi to investigate tamerlan tsarnaev and his mother because they were concerned he was becoming radicalized. the fbi investigated askedterviewed them both and could find no evidence to suggest they were in any way a threat. they say they reported back to asked some more questions. asked for some more information, but never heard anything back.

now we know this piece of information from roughly the same timeframe did exist. it is difficult to determine the precise significance of this information, but it raises some interesting questions. such as would the fbi investigation have been handled differently? could its outcome had been different had the investigators known about this intercepted communication at the time? so far, no one in the russian government has commented specifically on just what russian authorities knew back in 2011 and why they were concerned about this family. only the russian president vladimir putin has said to his great regret russia's security services were not able to provide their mean colleagues with any information of operational significance. phil black, cnn, moscow. all right, phil thank you very much. i want you guys to take a look at this church right here. see that one in the distance? it's the old south church right here on copley square. the church was just feet from the bombing and had to close down for over a week. they're going to have their

first sermon there -- they had their first sermon there today. reverend nancy taylor joins us now. it's the old south church. every year you say it's nicknamed the what? >> every year this time of year we call it the church of the finish line because we're at the finish line of the boston marathon. >> tell us what happened. you were watching from the window? >> i was actually up in the bell tower up there and watching the runners come in when i heard and saw explosions. these concussions and just a whole lot of smoke. and then people just running. >> yeah. and i couldn't believe it i'm sure. >> well it took a while to sort of figure out what was going on. i saw as people started running toward the danger going in to help people. it was remarkable. >> yeah. and as a member of the clergy, it must -- i know it was terrible to see. but to see the human spirit kick in and help people it must have been warming. atarming to your heart. >> oh people's courage. i don't think i've ever seen anything like it. going right in toward the danger, toward the blast to help people out.

>> so helping people heal. and the sermon today in the church what was the message today, what was it like? >> we talked about lamentation as par of our life. it's natural to feel lament to feel anger then also to start to move on. we invited people to tell the stories of talking to each other, a lot of hugging. and we are also reminding people that there's way more good in the world than there is evil. >> this being a member of that church what does that church mean to you? what does that church mean as you look at it? what does it mean to boston? it's a beautiful church. >> it's an iconic church the church of benjamin franklin and samuel adams. the folks who started the boston tea party. so we've been in the mix of things for boston for a long time. we're older than this country. and the church is an iconic symbol of that the vigorous commitments to justice and mercy that are part of our ministry. >> i was at the interfaith service with the president and got to -- it was really

heartwarming tming together at that service. you were there. you got to speak. let's listen in. you and i will talk about it. >> we are shaken but we are not forsaken. another's hate will not make of us haters. another's cruelty will only redouble our mercy. >> so i remember that moment and i said you know it's so hard not to hate in a moment like this. i mean no matter how strong your faith is is. when you look at the images and if you were involved if you lost a loved one, it's hard not to hate. >> yeah, it's hard but that's part of the christian discipline discipline. it's part of what makes this world a good place. if we all hated with the haters we'd be in big, big trouble. >> as you look around here and see all these people who are out here, coming by the thousands really every day, what does it do for you? >> this place has been remarkable and the feeling here, the sound, it's somber. everybody comes into this place,

it's sort of sacred space. it's a place of memory and of hope and of healing. >> yeah. is somber but it's also people said they don't want to be -- they want to be inspired and want to smile a little bit, they know things as bad as it is things are going to get better. >> yes. we did laughing in church today. >> you did? >> yes, it's important to laugh. i told some jokes. we did some things. you have to. part of it is the release and part of it is you know there is still things to be thankful for. there's still much joy in the world. >> yeah. >> we talked about babies and children and innocence. >> thank you. thank you very much. you helped me. your voice is to soothing and your presence is so soothing. thank you. >> we really appreciate. >> thank you for being here and visiting us in boston and telling our story. that has been important to us as well. >> you have been gracious and warm and welcoming. we really appreciate you. >> boston is warm and welcoming. >> except for the temperature. >> there ithat. yes. >> thank you.
