madrid, in madrid, spain, when the worst imaginable thing happened. watch. >> goodness. look at that fireball and the thick, black smoke. the pilot of the plane is dead. more than a dozen people on the ground were hurt. and government spokesman said the pilot was very experienced and they're working to find out exactly what caused that plane to crash. president barack obama is calling on a new generation to be active and engaged citizens, american citizens. he spoke at ohio state university's graduationer is moans today saying young people have the power to help the nation achieve its greatest hopes and overcome its most difficult challenges. he also called on all americans to hold their elected officials accountable.

let's go to boston now this hour. across the river in cambridge. that's where bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev lived with his family before the attack and where the fbi has a very keen interest in today. our susan candiotti is live in boston right now. so susan, why the interest today in the tsarnaev apartment? >> reporter: well, mum's the word on that. the fbi is officially not saying what they were doing over there, but we do know this. they spent a few hours at that apartment. agents and crime scene technicians wearing hazmat protective covering as they often do when they pick up evidence at a crime scene spent time in that apartment. we know that sources have told us in the past that information they received from dzhokhar led them there to the apartment where his older brother lived with his wife and young child and that it was dzhokhar who told investigators that the

pressure cooker bombs were constructed. and sources have told us as well that they found explosive residue in at least, on at least the kitchen sink, the table, and in a bathtub. whatever they found there and might have left with, we do know this, it's clear they still have a keen interest there, perhaps, don, it has something to do with what the widow is telling investigators. don? >> let's talk about the tsarnaev family. the older brother, tamerlan, still not buried. why, susan? >> reporter: because apparently they cannot find any cemetery that will accept his remains. that's what the uncle is telling us. so he spent time at the funeral home. he's already left there tonight. but he told everyone at a press conference that he spent the time there preparing his nephew's body for burial according to islamic law. and that's what he spent time there doing. he said he is not happy at all that he's been unable to find any cemetery to accept the

remains. >> i'm left alone to deal with this matter. and i also stress that tamerlan tsarnaev has no other place to be buried. >> reporter: so, don, for now, no cemetery, but they're still looking for one. >> susan, you talked to the father of one of the suspects' friends who is accused of this, of trying to help the brothers. what did they tell you? >> reporter: right. this is the father of azamat and gave us exclusive details about his jailhouse visit with his son that took place on friday and his son told him what happened when the fbi came over to raid their apartment near the

university of massachusetts at dartmouth. he told us he has the same questions we do. he asked his son why he hid some of the evidence, went over to the dorm room where dzhokhar lived and took some things away including a backpack that conta contained, that they took away a laptop and backpack that has fireworks inside. why they did that? >> translator: i asked my son, did you want to help dzhokhar? he said, dad, if we wanted to help him, then we would have thrown the laptop out, too, but we didn't want to throw anything out. it's just that he got scared and threw the bag out. when he brought the bag back from dzhokhar, he took the laptop out and put it on the table. he said, if we wanted to help him, we would have thrown out the laptop, too, and bury the bag in the ground somewhere. >> reporter: now, the father tells us that his son had absolutely no role in the

bombing, that, in fact, he did recognize dzhokhar's photograph when he saw them on television and that he and his roommate got very worried. they were scared. they didn't know what to do. he said his son did not do anything wrong intentionally. he's 19 years old. and he just wasn't thinking right. back to you, don. >> susan candiotti in boston. israeli rockets attacked a military facility near damascus overnight, an act syria calls a declaration of war. in a cnn exclusive, we spoke with syria's deputy foreign minster and residents who said the barrage of massive explosions were terrifying. >> reporter: don, it was absolute mayhem in damascus. we were woken up in the middle of the night to massive explosions. this went on more than an hour. there are so many explosions, gunfire, people who lived near the area thought there was a major battle going on there until they found out it was

probably a rocket strike by the israelis. it was at around 3:00 a.m. local time that gigantic explosions lit up the skies over damascus. one deafening blast after another, it went on for more than an hour. rocking a large military area in the suburbs of syria's capital and prompting terrified nearby residents to run for cover. this family lives over a mile away. daughter, anna, tells me what happened. >> after the first two bombs, we kept hearing explosions. there were, like, nine of them, because everything kept explo exploding over and over again. we can hear gunshots. we can hear people screaming. so basically we didn't know what to do, and there was a problem with us breathing because the smoke was too much. >> reporter: in a second alleged israeli air strike in three days, the syrian government says the latest target was a military research facility. the opposition says it was an ammunition depot.

in an exclusive interview with cnn, syria's deputy foreign minister said syria would retaliate in its own time and way. >> this is an alliance between al qaeda and israel attacking together syria. it shows common interests, and what israel and its allies have tried to hide for a long time is more clear. >> is it a deck claration of wa? >> when they attack, this is an declaration of war. >> reporter: israel has become increasingly worried about syria's chemical we. s stockpiles and believes the r regime to trying to ship weapons to hezbollah, the u.s. and other countries have declared a terrorist organization. >> until now the information is not very clear on what happened. did they fire missiles or

planes? it's not clear for me because i'm not aware how it happened. but of course, it's worrying, but israel will suffer the same. >> reporter: the deer family is still shaken by the events. >> it was really scary, because there's nothing we can do. it's like, either we're going to die right now or just stay scared. i'm sorry, but it just -- >> reporter: they say they hope they never have to witness anything similar again. the syrian government vows it will retaliate against israel. they're not saying at this point how they want to do that and when. don? >> all right. thank you, frederick. during congressional hearings this week on the boston bombings, questions will likely be asked about possible breakdowns in intelligence. one of my guests adamantly defends our spy community. clearly there was a breakdown somewhere, even if everybody's talking to each other. >> why do you -- don, i don't accept that. why to you say there's a

breakdown? what's the proof that something broke down? >> more of that conversation next. (now arriving: city hospital) which is why we're proud to help connect our students with leading employers across the nation. (next stop: financial center) let's get to work.

looking ahead in washington this week the house homeland security committee scheduled thursday's hearings on the boston marathon bombings. the hearings will focus on how the bombings have affected national security and what, if any, clues the government had before the bombings happened. now, earlier i asked tom puentas about reports of a communication breakdown between government agencies. he is a cnn law enforcement analyst and a former fbi

assistant director. >> to say people don't talk to each other, don, i've run two jttfs, myself, when i was in the fbi. you're sitting right next to each other. every member in this case, boston, has 20 law enforcement agencies that belong to that jttf. and every officer that gets selected to serve on it has to go through a complete background to get a top secret clearance and they have full access to all the raw -- so everybody is sitting next to each other. everybody has access to the same databases. i don't know how you can say -- >> i understand what you're saying. clearly there was a breakdown somewhere. even if everybody's talking to each other -- >> don, don, i don't accept that. why do you say there was a breakdown? what's the proof something broke down as far as communication? i'm not saying if you want to argue about whether the -- >> the evidence is on the table. there was a bombing where three people were killed. there was an intercept from the russian government. there was -- the russian government told us that they thought that these people had been radical -- this young man

had can radicalized. they'd been listening to him. he went away for six months to russia, and our government had that information. how is that not a breakdown? >> well, that's what i just said. you can say whether the investigation based on that information was thorough enough and that can be looked at. it's a separate issue to say that the agencies don't talk to each other or the information is being stovepiped or people don't have access to each other's databases. that part is not true. >> to lou polumbo, retired investigator with the nassau department. you heard me talk to tom fuentas about agencies. i'm not picking on tom. i've heard many people voice the same opinion he has. whenever you had to work with the fbi or the feds, how was the communication? was it always smooth and sharing? and sharing of information? >> well, the simple truth, don, is that there is a cultural disconnect with our federal

agencies. our federal agencies traditionally do not share or there's a reluctancy to share information at times with local authorities. i think one thing that people have to understand, with our federal agencagencies, for exam like the secret service and fbi, they routinely polygraph their special agents. there is no mechanism if place like that in local law enforcement. tom made reference to jttf where these individuals are deputized so to speak and they sit in the same rooms. and i understand everything that he's talking about. but i do know one thing. that the way to maintain the integrity of your investigation is to cover information. and they do it and it's the right thing to do. the problem is, on occasion, it walks us into scenarios similar to the one that we're in right now. i say this to you. unequivocally. the finest investigative team that exists on the planet is our fbi. without question. but there is a culture with the fbi that is very, very tight and i respect it.

i understand it. there's a need for it. but there is also problems that arise from time to time as a result of that culture. >> lou, no one is doubting, i don't think anyone is doubting the professionalism of the fbi and their integrity. but clearly something broke down in this particular situation. and as, listen, in anything that's happening, you look at benghazi, people are going to want answers. why the breakdown. what happened? and at the end of the day, someone, or some aswrgencagency going to have to take responsibility and that's at the center of what most americans want to know. >> don, listen, in all fairness, the federal government isn't the only form of our government, in other words, we'll break it down to local agencies and municipalities such as the city of new york. everybody's very protective. they try to employ this practice called damage control. and part of that is that before they start speaking, and before

they start disseminating information, they need to wrap their arms around the full extent of what's taken place. now, it's easy for us to sit back here and try to critique what they do and what they do based on a timeline or expectation of when we think things should happen, but the reality of the situation is, everyone does it, don. it just didn't the state department. just isn't the fbi. everybody embraces this. if we can control information, even on local level, in other words, not disseminate it to the media and it serves us, everyone does it. that's the simple truth. when you've got to show your hand, you have to show your hand. there are a lot of topics here being co-mingled. you know, we're discussing the information that came from the russians to the fbi regarding these two individuals who are suspect in this bombing. >> right. >> we're learning as we go that the inquiry was really made not so much because the russian fsb was giving us a heads-up for our

sake, but they were worried about themselves. when they were requested to provide more information, they t didn't provide it. you know, i do want people to understand one thing. our law enforcement resources are very heavily taxed right now and there's no question, we need to increase the number of agents we have and this is just my opinion, in the fbi, in the secret service and in a number of other agencies. for example, like the atf. we talk about the gun problem in the country. i don't want to go off on a tangent. there are 2,000 atf agents for this entire country. it's difficult to two after trafficking with limited resources. you have a police department, excuse me, don, i don't mean to interrupt you, sir. we have a police department here, you've had as many as 40,000 police officers, that's an incredible luxury to have when you need to fix a problem. two ways we fix our problems, we throw money at them or throw bodies. you need to give law enforcement more resources. if people are suggesting the fbi employ the practice of setting

up surveillances every time someone bleeps on their radar screen, they simply do not have the resources to do it. and that is the truth as well. >> that is a fair point. i think in the investigating, and all of the talks and hearings that are going to be had, we need to figure out exactly what happened to improve that and have more resources devoted to whatever specifically we need to devote them to. that's the point of having this conversation. and the whole point of what we do on the air and having those hearings will be. thank you, appreciate it, lou. the dow cracked 15,000 this week. is this proof of a strengthening economy or should we be cautious? cnn talked with the oracle of omaha, mr. warren buffett. what he thinks lies ahead.

side that would increase job creation in a more rapid rate? >> well, we could apply way more fiscal stimulus and that could have some effect. there isn't much to do on the monetary side. >> would you support more stimulus? >> whether the downside of that stimulus would be greater than the immediate -- you don't want to take something that makes you feel extremely -- just because of that fact without considering consequences. so i really have no great recommendations in terms of change of policy. >> immigration reform is front and center right now in washington. and i wonder, do you think that immigration reform is critical to the economy? what is the impact on this economy if we see immigration reform derailed? does it matter? >> well, i think immigration reform is derailed, i think people will continue to have great doubts about the efficacy of washington. i think there is great sentiment for it and i think it probably will pass. exactly in what form, i don't know. >> is there anything specific

you think needs to be included in immigration reform in this country for the economy? >> i think net immigration over the lifetime of the country has been an obvious posture of the country and we can find problems with it. but this is a country of immigrants and i think that -- i think we should be a lot smarter in terms of the quotas we establish. i think it's crazy not to encourage all kinds of people that can benefit this country by bringing them over. >> reporter: we also talked about income inequality. he believes the growing gap between rich and poor in this country is having a negative impact on the overall u.s. economy. now, at 82 years old, the question of succession came up. who will take over berkshire hathaway after warren buffett? buffett has choseenin the succer but has not made the name public. the daughter of boxing great

first lady of the united states michelle obama says every american has an obligation to let kids facing violence in cities like chicago know that they are not forgotten. she made her comments in an interview with "cbs this morning." mrs. obama says children in her hometown fear what could happen to them every single day. >> how every day they wake up and wonder what they're going to make it to school alive. i mean, every single kid worries

about their own death or the death of someone every single day. >> they told you that? >> yes. we have millions of kids living in these kind of circumstances, and we as a nation have to embrace these kids. >> so in 2012, homicides declined nationally, but that wasn't the case in chicago. 506 people were murdered there last year. that's up from 433 in 2011. chicago police are quick to point out to us that the rate is down significantly so far this year in 2013. they say it's down 43%. still, there is a lot of work to be done. especially when you're coming from over 500%. my next guests have two very different ideas on how to drop the number even more. rachita ali, daughter of muhammad ali. and elzy is a cnn contributor. thank you for joining me. it's good to see you again. we spent time with you a few years ago and with your family. >> yes, we had fun. thank you. >> let's start with you.

you were trying to get kids off the streets and into a boxing ring. you think that will help? >> first, as a start, i was approached by the executive director of the illinois state crime commission, jerry elsner, to help market this very positive program. i want to help kids. i'm from chicago. of course, i said yes. what we're trying to do in a sense is grab kids off the street, put them into some safe zones, we call them, and, you know, honestly, we wan them to get into some type of boxing or karate technique to help them physically and mentally. >> yeah. this is personal for you. you were touched by violence in your, within your own family in chicago. >> it's horrible. back in the '90s, my cousin was gunned down, unfortunately, due to gun, gang violence. he was a very young boy. not even affiliated with gangs at all. very smart. going somewhere with his life. i am not an expert at all with gang prevention. in fact, i spoke with the

expert, 15 years, my older sister, may may ali, who does gang violence for a living. i spoke with her this morning. she works with city of los angeles. and they have a program called the comprehensive gang strategy. and it's actually an evidence-based program that they use in los angeles. and i feel that chicago and other gang-infested cities should implement programs like that. they'll star to see an increasingly, increasingly improvement in what kids are doing. they're dropping like flies in chicago. it's unacceptable. >> i used to live in chicago and know may may's work. she does a lot of good work when it comes to this trying to get the word out when it comes to this. congratulations to her and to you for doing this. elzy, i want to talk to you now. >> thank you. >> because you and i feel the same way about this. that we need to treat gang members or people who do this. they are terrorists, too. i believe. and you believe that as well.

>> yeah. i do. you know, i don't want to use that word as a way of, you know, drumming up high hyperbole. if you go to the website, the gang statistics are disturbing to me. 1.4 million people in the united states are a member of the gang, representing 33,000 gangs in all 50 states. we spent a lot of time focusing in on chicago. the fact of the matter is gangs one way or another touch every single community in this country, yet i see or detect a sense of apathy an it as if it's more of a localized sort of situation. i ran across a story last year in "the new york times" in which there was a couple cities in the northeast that had police officers go over in afghanistan, in iraq, and when they came back, they noticed similarities between the gangs they were trying to deal with and the insurgence overseas. they incorporated some of those

tactics to help address what was going on homeside. i suggest by looking at it from a different cultural lens and not treat it as petty crimes but rather what it really is, members of our society terrorizing the larger community, we need to address it in terms of tactics as well as resources. >> you just took the words out of my mouth. i was going to say we may not label it in the traditional sense as terrorism. they terrorize communities. they terrorize entire neighborhoods. little old ladies. children end up dying. people are afraid to go outside. as he was saying that, rasheda, you're shaking your head in agreeme agreement. why? >> i partially agree with l.z. and you. like i said, i'm not claiming to been an expert at all. i'm using my common sense. because it hit home so close to me. i don't feel that these gang leaders, i wouldn't tag them terrorists personally. i think tagging them terrorists is actually an incorrect use of the word, and the solution wouldn't be terrorist-based.

i feel that these kids are clearly have anger management issues. they don't have families at home. they deal in a community that's violent. their homes are violent. their unemployment status is high. they just -- they need help. they need programs. and i don't think the solution is terrorist-based. >> is there a website for your boxing campaign? it began in january. >> yeah. the illinois state crime commission. you can go on there and read about what we're doing. we're trying to start a campaign. honestly, it's a small organization. we just started. we're trying to get business leaders from chicago involved. politicians. religious leaders. union leaders. we have lots of volunteers. part of law enforcement. just trying to help these kids. it's a start. >> you have to start somewhere. >> that's right. >> thank you. listen, again, i have to tell you guys at and the audience, chicago police say the murder rate down 43% down this year.

they started out with over 500 last year. they ended the year, i should say. you can get l.z.'s work. he writes about this often on cnn.com. thank you, both. i appreciate it. >> thanks. >> thank you. an incredible story of survival. a woman's face had to be rebuilt after being destroyed by her ex-husband. now she's rebuilding her life. her story is next.

a truly amazing story of survival and spirit. a woman whose face was destroyed by her ex-husband six years ago now has a new face and a new life. three months after her surgery, carmen tarlatan spoke to reporters about her full-face transplant. >> there is a lot to learn and take from horrific events that happen. i want others to know that they

need not give up on healing themselves when tragedy strikes. but instead they can make a choice to find the good and allow that to help them heal. >> senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen visited carmen and her new boyfriend and heard their incredible story. >> don, for six years carmen tarleton lived withen extremely disfigured face. her doctor told her about a new procedure called the full facial transplant. carmen loved her husband, but when their marriage fell apart, he attacked her. dousing her with industrial-strength lye. her beautiful face destroyed. deep burns on over 80% of her body. more than 50 surgeries saved her life, but doctors couldn't erase the scars. you're the head of a major burn

unit. have you ever seen a burn injury like this? >> never. never seen anything like this. >> reporter: then doctors at brigham and women's hospital came up with an idea. how about taking the face from a woman who died and giving it to carmen? in a 15-hour surgery, doctors replaced carmen's skins, muscles, tendons and nerves with those from the donor. for the first time carmen is revealing her face three months after her surgery. how does it feel from going to having this horribly scarred face to having a face without scars? >> it's, well, it's a gift. i'm thrilled. i'm thrilled with what i've got. >> reporter: she doesn't just have a new face. she also has a new man in her life. her piano teacher, sheldon stein. >> you walked in for a piano lesson. >> right. >> and you got -- >> i got the love of my life.

how lucky is that? >> reporter: sheldon fell in love with carmen a few weeks before she got her new face. what about sheldon touched your heart? >> that he was able to see me through my scars at the time. >> i'll be honest with you, a lot of men couldn't handle all this. >> oh, i definitely know that. >> but sheldon -- >> sheldon's different. >> sheldon, when you look at carmen, what do you see? >> i see an incredible woman. i see a woman with a lot of strength, lot of inner beauty and utter beauty. >> reporter: right now, carmen doesn't have much control over her face. can you smile? that's great. >> yeah. a little bit. yeah. >> reporter: doctors tell her it will keep getting better and better. >> he kisses me. i can't. i can't pucker and feel yet. but i am looking forward to that day. because i know that day will come. >> don, one of the things carmen can't do right now is hold her eyelids open. one of her eyes you might have

noticed is closed. the other one they tape open because she's got a little bit of sight in that eye. they want her to be able to use it. as far as her emotional recovery goes, carmen said it really helped when she forgave her ex-husband. i asked her, carmen, how could you forgive him for something that was really so awful? she said, elizabeth, when you forgive someone, it's not for other person you forgive them, for yourself so you can move on. don? >> thank you, elizabeth. music legend willie nelson talks to cnn about a topic close to his heart. pot. that's next.
