for now, however, i'll settle to fixing my headache. that hurt. good morning, everyone. welcome to our continuing coverage of the boston marathon bombing. i am randi kaye coming to you live from boston. it's 6:00 here. thank you for starting your day with us. new clues on how the bombers planned their destruction. and bomb explosives found in the apartment tamerlan shared with his wife and baby. and the fire in california.

how many times did you check your 401(k) yesterday, if you wanted a lift, probably a few times. while wall street's day just made your nest egg grow. the death certificate confirms the violent final moments of tamerlan tsarnaev's death. it shows he died from gunshot wounds of torso and extreme teas and blunt trauma to the head and torso. his body sits in the funeral parlor, and in the meantime his younger brother revealing new details about their plan. susan, investigators have figured out where the bombs were

built. what do we know? >> they figured it out during the interviews with dzhokhar, the younger brother. he told investigators according to our sources, it was built there in the apartment where tamerlan lives with his wife and young child. it goes further than that. they found explosive residue on the kitchen sinks and table and in the bathtub of their apartment. it's hard to fathom how that could have been constructed in that apartment without tamerlan's wife knowing about it. that's the key focus for them. they are still questioning her. >> especially the main area of the apartment. do we know anything about his body or burial at this point? >> his body is now at a funeral

home in worcester. the body was claimed by and moved by a member of tsarnaev's body. not by the widow. we don't know what the arrangements are. some people are not happy that there is a thought given to burying him in their neighborhood. >> absolutely. susan, we will check back with you later on this morning and throughout the morning. thank you. another nugget of source, the investigators are investigating the apartment where dzhokhar lived. there was an explosion heard where they could have been testing. and there were pamphlets, and they are declaring his is instant.

dzhokhar was born in cars stan but left. israel has not commented. israeli officials long vowed to strike targets they think was used to transfer targets to hezbollah or other terrorists groups. >> what i can say is we have a clear policy. if the syria regime tries to transfer chemical weapons or game-changing weaponry, israel will not remain passive, and they are very serious about it. now to los angeles where a gast-growing wildfire has

damaged more than two dozen homes and buildings already. authorities ordered mandatory evacuations north of l.a. >> reporter: firefighters have gotten the upper hand on this paourt of the fire. this is the northern plank of the fire. you can see the charred hillside. this was the scene of a very tough fight for firefighters. this was all once on fire just on the other side of this hill on with a is known as the spring fire, very much an active fight going on. this fire has proven to be unpredictable and very dangerous. what has held it contains, work from the ground crews. firefighters going house by house trying to save thousands of homes which are still under threat. it has bean hot fight so far.

is it better today versus yesterday? >> what is better today we will have more forces to combat the fire with, but what will be worse today is probably the weather. >> reporter: you going to let it burn right into the ocean? >> yeah, that's the plan. when we have this much wind behind it, that's all we can do. we try to run it right into the pacific ocean. >> reporter: good news is there is an improvement in the weather forecast. as soon as sunday there may, just may, be some rain. randi? >> thank you very much. take a look at these incredible satellite images of the wild fire. you can see how far it has spread, and fueled by wind. will firefighters see that much hoped for rain soon? let's hope so. let's go to alexandra steele.

>> we are going to see good news and bad news. and what we have seen this temperatures in the 90s, and temperatures coming down into the 70s now and now we will see a more humid onshore flow. and also possible rain showers in the forecast, sunday through tuesday. and also the bad news, the showers we will see will be light. also, the potential for thundershowers, and the lightning could spark new fires, and then also shifting winds and the swirling winds have been a problem for firefighters. forecast today out in the 90s, and that's good news, and 75 degrees. and tomorrow, highs only in the 60s, so much cooler than we have seen.

higher humidity, and 30% chance for rain. it's late sunday into monday. monday morning, here you go, this is kind of the bullseye. yes, it's rain. yes, it's light. but certainly anything will be good. so the best chance for rain is monday morning, and then you can see kind of some scattered rain showers for monday into tuesday. that's kind of how it's shaping up. good news and bad news on the whole, incredibly good news because the temperatures coming down and the winds slowing. >> are we looking at the winds? >> the wild fire season doesn't start until august, but they have been in a two-year drought, and only have the amount of rain and looking at all the brush on the sides of mountain and it should be green this time of year and it's not. it's brown. so it's ripe for wildfires, so

the hot wind and temperatures are allowing the fires to really explode. it does not tend for a wildfire season. >> thank you. now to wall street where the stock market got a big push from the monthly job numbers that came out on friday. a big boost for 401(k)s. if you invested 10,000 in 2000, that's that's 25,000 today. >> a milestone day for wall street after a better than expected monthly jobs report. the u.s. economy added 165,000 jobs in april, while the unemployment rate fell to 7.5%, the lowest level since 2008. february and march numbers,

those were resized higher. the economy added 114,000 jobs in those months than previous thought. the economy has added a an average of 173,000 jobs a month for the last year, and that means march and april were below avenue repblg months and the economy could be headed for another tough spring and summer. but the dow touched 15,000 for the first time ever friday morning. and s&p crossed 1,600 for the first time ever, and that was important because the s&p 500 is more closely watched by investors, and it's a reflection of the average american's investment. there was a seven-year drought between dow 11,000 and dow 12,000, and it has taken a year to get to 12,000 in july of 2006 to 14,000 in july of 2007.

but here is the problem, it's being fueled more so by the federal reserve. the jobs picture is improving. another milestone we will have to wait for next week, the first close above 15,000. and the dow ended after a gain, but a pretty good day to end the week. randi? >> alison kosik, thank you very much. in the wake of the marathon bombings, security is tight at kentucky derby, so tight that some people are surprised at what they are not allowed to bring in. that's next.

welcome back. today is the kentucky derby. it draws big crowds and lots of media question. we are reporting from boston ann

louisville today. we are taking a closer look at the extra precautions. >> reporter: kentucky derby weekend is usually about the big hats and mint juleps, and of course the horse races, but nearly three weeks after this sporting event ended in tragedy, things here are thinking about more than waging your bet. >> is what happened in boston on your mind today? >> yes, you never know what peoples' intentions are. >> we were coming from chicago and we were talking about are you scared at all about it? and it's on the forefront of his mind and my mind coming in today. >> reporter: security has been tight at the derby since 9/11,

and officials are cracking down more. >> the first thing you do after an event, you get everybody back together and say what is the plan? do we need to make adjustments? >> a ban is coolers and even large purses. 150 officers were brought in to conduct more thorough searches on the estimated 130,000 people expected. >> i was happy to hear they increased security. less makeup and goodies we can bring in, but it's good to be more comfortable and we are all going to look after each other today. >> reporter: but one change had some women racing to the store. >> we had to shop for different purses here. i heard the department stores add a ruler on the counter.

every store you went in there was a ruler. >> pamela brown, a kentucky native joins us from churchill downs. what you have noticed as far as changes this year? >> reporter: i am a kentucky native and grew up going to the kentucky derby. it's interesting to see the change over the years. every since 9/11, you used to be able to walk around wherever you wanted to here, and now we are seeing a big change especially in light of what happened in boston, and at the entrances, we are seeing more security guards and officers from local, state and federal agencies on hand and everywhere you turn you see a large presence of authorities here at the facility at churchill downs, and more metal detection and more thorough bag searches and it's clear that security has taken very seriously this year and today is

really the big test. last year at the kentucky derby, there were more than 160,000 people and this year we are expecting a similar crowd. >> with such tight security it will take time getting through those lines. pam brown, thank you very much. reese witherspoon's arrest have gone from unfortunate to down right embarrassing. we will have those highlights.

welcome back, everyone, to our live coverage of the boston marathon bombing. we are here at the site of the memorial that has been set up for weeks now. people still coming by as early as this morning, and they come by and drop flowers, and a lot of folks leave running shoes and

take pictures and leave candles and paying respect to those injured and lost in that bombing. i am randi kaye reporting live from boston. i want to check in with victor blackwell this morning. >> thank you. this is really scary video. this seems like a video game with a first person perspective of a gunfight, but what you are about to see is real. we have to warn you, this is disturbing. >> the police in ohio released the dash cam video from a patrol unit. look at the windshield. investigator say the man there with the gun, he shot two officers in march. he was killed.

our affiliate believes police still do not know why he started shooting. rapper little wayne not doing the commercials. >> i am lil wayne and this is how i dew it. >> pepsi is severing ties. they say we do not plan any addition work moving forward. his offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand. this refers to lil wayne rapping saying beat that expletive. a republic for the rapper told cnn i can confirm to creative

differences we decided to part ways. it was amicable. lindsay lohan, her father says she will stay for a few days and then transfer to another rehab center. she is attending a 90-day drug and alcohol program as an alternative to jail. and reese witherspoon, she apparently didn't learn much. she was charged with disorderly conduct when her husband was pulled over for drunk driving and this one you have to see to believe. >> ma'am, what did i just tell you to do? >> i want to know what is going on. >> i am a u.s. citizen, and i am allowed to stand on american grand and ask any question i want to ask. are you kidding me? i am an american citizen. >> i told you to get in the car and stay in there, didn't i?

>> this is beyond. this is beyond. you are harassing me. i have done nothing against the law. >> yes, you have. you didn't obey -- >> i have to obey your orders? >> yes, you do. >> no, sir, i do not. >> reese. reese. >> i am now being arrested and handcuffed. do you know my name, sir? >> don't need to know it. >> you don't need to know my name? you are about to find out who i am. >> i am not real worried about you, ma'am. i done tell you how things worked. guess what? we have a law for this. obstruction. >> i am obstructing your justice? really? >> yeah. >> butt first. a lot easier on you. >> interesting.

>> i tried. >> i am sorry. >> i had nothing to do with that. >> witherspoon has to pay a $213 fine. her husband who says i have nothing to do with that, he will serve 40 hours of community service. and authorities find evidence of explosives in the home of one of the bombing suspects that he shared with his wife and child. we are live next with a former fbi director about the investigation into this woman, katherine russell. ]dc(ñqgñ/twg

it's about half past the hour now. i am randi kaye coming to you from boston. let's check in with my colleague, victor blackwell, at cnn headquarters in atlanta. what are you watching this morning? >> a couple big stories. we are starting on the west coast, northwest of los angeles, a raging wildfire there. it's nearly tripled in size and threatening thousands of homes in the ventura area. the spring fire is what it's called, and it's has destroyed 30 homes. and here is good news. firefighters could get a break

tomorrow because rain is in the forecast. u.s. federal officials believe israel carried out an air strike in syria. two u.s. officials tell cnn that the strike probably happened thursday or friday. washington does not think israeli warplanes entered syrian airspace buttish has long promised to strike at any target it suspects being used to transport weapons to hezbollah or other terrorists groups. an american journalist missing in syria for almost six months now may be in the hands of the syrian government. that's according to the man's brother and the global post news outl outlet. the global post says it's likely he is being held in damascus with other western journalist including at least one other american. the fbi is now look into the mysterious death of this woman. a doctor in pittsburgh. local authorities think that

autumn cline died from cyanide poisoning. he called 911 after finding the body. her death is being investigated as a potential homicide or possibly suicide. almost three weeks after the boston bombing and the supreme court justice sotomayor is warning against racial profiling. she is talking about this as custom agents get new orders that require them to make sure all foreign students have a visa. >> if you are thinking, if aur police officer or anybody else thinking that only profiling is going to prove who did something, you are probably going to be wrong most of the time. because that's not the way the world works. are there indicators of sorts that have to be listened to?

absolutely. you know, they are talking about if you have been following the news about the boston bombing and about criticisms about whether they are justified or not about following up on the activities of the two young men who were involved. is that profiling? could be. is it something that you just can't ignore? maybe sometimes not. there's a fine line that society walks in trying to be fair. >> we'll talk about some of the other big stories of the weekend in a moment, but right now let's head back to randi live in boston this morning. >> thank you. investigators in boston find residue from explosives inside the apartment that tamerlan tsarnaev shared with his wife and young daughter. substances were discovered at the table, kitchen sink and bathtub.

meanwhile, tamerlan's widow maintains she knew nothing about the entire bomb plot. and joining me now is tom fuentes. how does the discovery of explosives, residue in her own home change the investigation as it relates to katherine russell? >> i don't think it changes the investigation because this has been something that they have been looking at from the very beginning, the possibility that she may have known something or been involved, even, and obtaining the materials that were used or somehow allowing them to make the bombs. so that's been something that they have been concerned with and would have looked at from the very start. now, actually gathering the evidence that she was aware of it is another matter. especially even though it's her residents also, it was reported by her attorney early on that she worked seven days a work and 17 hours a day and was rarely home. so it's remotely possible the

two brothers made the bombs and cleaned up most of the mess before she got home if that's true. we don't know all the things that the fbi knows at this point or what they have known from the very beginning in trying to investigate this case. >> right. let's talk about dzhokhar, the younger brother. he is sharing quite a bit of information with the authorities? will this help him when he gets to court? >> probably will not hurt him. how much it helps will be determined. yes, he talked extensively, 16 hours before the initial appearance hearing where he received his miranda rights. from what i heard the fbi was pretty satisfied he had said about as much as he was going to say at that time. not that they believed every word he said. they took everything with a large degree of skepticism. that's what the investigation

has been about since, how much of what he said was true and how much could they determine and corroborate of the statements that he made. >> we have questions, and you have questions of your own, but what pieces do you think investigators need dzhokhar to flush out an answer for them? >> he will need to say how much tamerlan's wife knew. he did say from the beginning that she was there or she went out and purchased some of the equipment that was used to make the bombs, such as the pressure cookers, if that was the case that's what they are trying to focus on, that aspect of what he said. and also the initial statements that they did it by themselves, that maybe big brother -- we don't know if tamerlan learned any of the bomb-making skills when he went back to dagestan for six months.

if the brother knows more about that or made statements about that that is something that they would be interested in. and now the other three that have been charged with the disposing of the evidence and helping him hide evidence after the bombing, how much involved if any were they before the bombing. is that verifiable to a great extent that they had no knowledge prior to that, and maybe going to the river and exploding fireworks and having some idea but not ever realizing that jdzhokhar and his brother were going to make an attack. >> yeah, and supreme court justice was warning about the possible racial profiling of bombing students, and how can they crack down on the visas and still abide by the law. >> well, they cannot come into

the country unless they have a visa. either you have one or you don't or you have a valid and active passport or you don't. that would apply to any student. there are a lot more students from other countries than kazakhstan or the countries involved in this case. we are talking about students from a country that has not had any terrorists groups that we are aware of, and we are talking about kazakhstan that has been involved in this activity, and there is no information that the two students did. all we know is they were friends of dzhokhar at this time and felt whatever allegiance to him after the bombing to get rid of the backpack and take his laptop and hide it. >> tom fuentes, as always, we appreciate your expertise. thank you. >> thank you, randi. seven acres of guns, and

controversy. the nra is off and running. and there are supporters of tougher laws will challenge them this weekend. we will talk to them next.

this weekend the nra is hosting its 147th annual meeting in downtown houston. it's their first since the aurora theater shooting and in newtown. more than 70,000 people are expected to attend gun shows and

seminars and rallies and this year's theme is stand and fight. and well known speakers are scheduled. sarah palin, and wayne lapierre. and they kicked thing off by criticizing the obama administration for using victims of gun violence against them. >> where we see tragedy, barack obama and michael bloomberg, they see opportunity. while we pray for god to comfort those suffering unimaginable pain, they rush to microphones and cameras, gather in war rooms on capitol hill and scheme about how to use that suffering to push their political agenda. they follow rahm emanuel's

blueprint. never let a tragedy go to waste. >> patricia joins me live from houston. she is actually from tucson. patricia took the gun magazine from the hands of jared loughner. he shot gabby giffords in 2007. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> what do you make of the remarks yesterday that the supporters of tougher gun laws see opportunities, and they blasted the president for the exploitation of people like you. >> nobody is manufacturing reasons to use these horrible tragedies in political ways.

they are in need of being changed. these laws are needed changed. obviously none of them have felt the pain or watched six people died on a sidewalk to say they are using them as props. it's very insulting and disingenuous. >> wouldn't you admit or endorse of what seems like a new strategy to bring the people that have been affected by gun violence, gabby giffords, to the rose garden to take the daughter of the principal at sandy hook to take her to a town hall meeting, and would you admit this is a new up close and personal strategy? >> you know, i don't know the political -- all the political aspects of doing that. people tell me i am being used and i say that is a form of the word use in useful. if i can be useful in changing

the laws and making the public safer, then by god use me. >> you are in houston where the nra annual meeting is happening this weekend. what is the goal for you? >> you know, i have been in the nra meeting in 2011 in pittsburgh, and i been there last year in st. louis, and we say we don't want your guns, we want your help both years, and this year we obviously know that is beyond their moral fortitude to be helpful in this cause. in my opinion -- not in my opinion, there is survey after survey that 74% of the nra rank in file membership believe stronger background checks is important and that it can be done and preserve second amendment rights. i believe the leadership of the

nra, the gun manufacturers, and the gun lobby are saturated in the blood of these innocent people and some of the legislators have blood on their hands. they hope that we will go away. it's not going to happen this time. there is a grassroots movement and this is not going to go away. the nra is not going to win this battle. >> you brought up background checks. you heard the rebuttal. gerald loughner passed a background check, and the aurora theater shooter passed a background check, and adam lanza, the sandy hook shooter, he stole the guns from his mother. what do you say to people that believe background checks didn't stop those shootings and won't stop the next ones? >> maybe. jared loughner, if he was on the list, the do not sell list by the military or if he had been

forcibly institutionalized, he might not have been able to. the whole system failed us that day in tucson. i don't know all the individual details of the other ones, and we're not so pauly anna's that we think it will save every life, but the mass shootings are not really the largest number of deaths and collateral damage by gunshots. we just garner the most attention. so a lot of the individual shootings would certainly have been helped by background checks. we can't judge a negative. we don't know how many people were caught by background checks. so i think that we have tried it one way. we gave up that background check on unlicensed dealers when that law was first put into place to get it to pass, not realizing how many guns would have been

purchased without going through a licensed dealer. it's time to make that loophole closed and to see how much we can do to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. >> thank you. the nra meets for the 142nd time. thank you so much for speaking with us. >> thank you for having me. >> we'll be back. i had some lebanese food for lunch. i love the lebanese. i... i'm not sure. enough of the formalities... lets get started shall we? jimmy how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? happier than dracula volunteering at a blood drive. we have cookies... get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

welcome back. the death of guitarest have some

speculating of what killed him. an earlier statement noted he had been in bad shape since getting a spider bite last year. a official said spider bites do not typically end in organ failure. police say they don't know if he meant to do it or an accident. nobody inside the building was injured. listen to this one. police say a north carolina linea man on vacation realized he did not have enough money for a disney cruise. so what did he do? he robbed a bank, and police say the girlfriend had no idea what was going on. the man is facing robbery charges. take a look. you are seeing here live pictures of the track at

churchill downs, getting ready for the kentucky derby, where one jockey is not trying to win the kentucky derby today, she is also trying to make history. hear why she says being a woman is actually working to her advantage. employees are being forced to do more with less. and the need for capable leaders is greater than ever. when you see these problems do you take a step back, or do you want to dive right in? with a degree in business from capella university, you'll have the knowledge to go further in your career than you ever thought possible. let's get started at capella.edu

louisville, kentucky. ponies are on the track warming up. do they warm up? i guess they do. there is one. the kentucky derby. pour yourself a mint julep or

two. a jockey there could make history. joe carter is live at churchill downs. joe, a woman has a chance to make history today, right? >> reporter: you are right, victor. she has a really good chance. her name is rosie napravnik, and she will be riding the horse my loot. why they say she has a good chance is because what she has been able to accomplish in the last two years. she rode a different horse and finished ninth. last year alone she won several games collecting over $12 million in purses. >> to be honest with you, the female aspect to me has i think

worked to my advantage in a lot of respect with publicity and being recognized for things that i have accomplished that may not have been such a big deal if it was just another male jockey. if you are winning races it's irrelevant what gender you are. >> reporter: again, her horse's name is my loot. if she wins today she will be the first female jockey to ever win the kentucky derby. another big story line is rick pitino. of course he won the national championship just a short time ago and also named to the basketball hall of fame, and he is co-owner of a race today, and the trainer of the horse, doug o'neal, and people might remember that name, because his horse, i'll have another, won last year's race. and victor orb is one favorite,

and my favorite name in today's race is charming kitten for those that like the felines, and a long shot to cheer for, 54-year-old jockey. and rain could be a problem. no matter what, we hope to see the kentucky derby go off today. >> it's anybody's race if it's raining. if it's a sloppy track, bet on the long shot. that will do it for us this hour. i will send it back to boston, and randi kaye is there live, and "cnn saturday morning" starts now. send them back to russia. >> buried near boston. that's the latest word on whe
