>> and is he white, black or hispanic? >> hispanic. >> what's he wearing? >> i don't know 'cause he's not here right now. that's why i ran away. >> when he left, what was he wearing? >> who knows. >> the police are on the way. talk to them when they get there. >> i need -- okay. >> i told you they're on the way. talk to them when they get there. >> all right, okay. bye. >> reporter: she made that call after she was able to look out of the house where they were being held, and flagged down a neighbor. >> hear her screaming. i'm eating my mcdonald's. i come outside. i see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house. so i go on the porch. i go on the forch and she says, held me get out, i've been here a long time. so you know i figured it's a domestic violence dispute. i opened the door. we can't get in that way because how the door is, it's so much that a body can't fit through it, only your hand. so we kick the bottom. and she comes out with the little girl and she says, call

911. my name is amanda berry. >> did you know who that was when she said that? >> when she told me it didn't register until i got the call to 911 and i'm like i'm calling 911 for amanda berry. i thought this girl was dead, you know what i mean? she got on the phone and she said, yes, this is me, the girl, amanda told the police i ain't the only one. there's more girls up in the house. they going up there, and when they came out, just astonishing. >> reporter: police moved in storming the house, rescuing the women. they arrested a 52-year-old former school bus drive who are lives there, ariel castro. they also arrested his two brothers. >> they made some statements to the responding officers that gave us a probable cause to effect their arrest. >> reporter: the rescued women taken to a nearby hospital and checked out. a photo of a beaming amanda berry and her sister appeared on facebook. >> currently, they're safe. we're in the process of

evaluating medical needs. they appear to be in fair condition at the moment. this is really good. this isn't the ending we hear to the stories. so we're very happy been. >> reporter: that sense of happiness and relief shared by police. >> it's a great -- it's a great day. >> reporter: and the people of cleveland. >> it's an unbelievable day. >> martin savidge joining us from cleveland. we flow that the police are now looking at these three brothers. what do we know about these guys? >> reporter: well, authorities are just starting to learn something about these guys. you know they are all brother. they're all age 50, 52, 54. they've been identified including the owner of the home who is identified as ariel astro. how did this happen? are all three guilty in the same way? it's not known. and so, you know, authorities

say, look, this is really early. they have just been able to find these three women. many people had given up home on. trying to determine exactly how they were taken, why they were taken about what targeted them? why them specifically? how is it possible they could have been held for so long, a decade or more without people really knowing what was going on. we don't know a lot right now. but the family, at least one of the uncles, spoke out and apologized on their behalf. he said, this is both terrible and great. great of course these women have been found. terrible because they know their family members may be part of it. >> i guess, martin, the thing, too that astounds most people is ten years and they apparently couldn't escape or didn't want to escape or we don't know the insides and outsides of that. i can't imagine what the people in the community there are saying, you know, this house we knew this guy, how are they all

reacting? >> reporter: yeah. and that's a -- that's really gets to the crux of what a lot of people are talking about. did anybody in the community know? they say -- i'm talking about neighbors -- they claimed there were a number of times something was awry, people that shouldn't have been there and they notified authorities at least two occasions they claim. authorities say their records don't show. neighbors say the police came, knocked on the door, looked around and were gone. were there missed opportunities? i can't answer that at this particular time. but the neighbors also say the man who owned that home, he was reclusive, always park behind the house. many times folks didn't think there was anybody there at all. now it turns out there were at least three women, maybe more, two children we know as well. >> martin, i imagine a lot of people on the scene now were being -- hearing much of the crowd that's around you, i imagine this neighborhood is being turns upside down. >> reporter: yeah, you've got that right. i mean, it's not of course just

a throng of local media, but international media, for obvious reasons. so many stories we hear about in which the out come is not this way. and now we know that, you know, this is a positive ending. there are three girls missing for a decade that are alive and well back with their families. i don't think it's surprising that people around the world would want to hear more about what the world happened, how could it happen. >> all right. >> martin sav. >> thanks much. let us know if you hear anymore. >> unbelievable. extraordinary. >> a lot more to find out about this, obviously. >> of course the top priority is the well-being of those three young women. they are now back with their families, reunited. investigators questioned them briefly last night. the fbi experts are talk with them more in-depth to find out at least they can, what happened, how this happened and really recovery. where do they go from here. >> exactly. can't imagine the psychological impact. in a news conference this

morning, authorities said they never stopped following leads in the missing person cases over the years. they described the emotion of finding these women alive. >> the law enforcement person, and i know everybody within the division of police and all of my law enforcement partners feel the same, i was overseeing the disappearance of johnson back in the low 2000s. she was a 12-year-old female that disappeared and three weeks later we found her body tragical tragically. so to fine these three covers recovered well is really just makes the police department, it just gives us a boost. >> family members and law enforcement kept the faith that one day they might see their daughters, their sisters, their nieces, again. monday evening that happened. the fbi and the crime task force as the chief and mayor mentioned and particular men and women of the cleveland police department have pursued every tip and have stood with the families each

step of the way. the families of these three young ladies never gave up hope. neither did law enforcement. as you can imagine, words can't describe the emotions being felt by all. yes, law enforcement professional dozs do cry. >> gina dejesus disappeared back in april of 2004. that's nine years ago. but her aunt says, in all of that time, gina's mother never gave up hope. >> her sister's faith gave the rest of the family strength time that gina had been missing. >> my sister had the strength of a thousand women. she knew, she knew, and she kept -- we had the strength, she kept us on the strength, and that's, you know, i give her -- i don't know how she did it, if it was my daughter i don't know. she's my niece. i -- i survived day by day with god. >> amanda's part of our family.

>> right. >> so will michelle. michelle will be with us through thick and thin for the rest of our lives those two women. >> i wonder, when you last saw them they were girls. when you see them now they're women. >> they're women. and they're stronger than you, you, you, and me. >> i believe that. >> trust me, they are. >> how -- >> they're doing great. >> how they are different and if they helped one another through this. did you see signs of that? i'm sure that that helped them get through. >> let me tell you, sisterhood, women that -- those girls, those women are so strong. it's what we do out here, what we have done in ten years, it's nothing compared to what those women have done. together to survive. >> we'll have much more coverage of this amazing, extraordinary story ahead including a live interview. this is with mark clause, you might remember he dedicated his life to protecting children after his own 12-year-old daughter polly was murdered.

>> stick around for that. a look at what else we're working on this hour for "around the world." the blame game over the benghazi embassy attack continues. >> whistle-blower has come forward, raising new questions about whether american lives could have been saved. tensions are high across the middle east. syria says those israeli attacks leave no room for hesitation. what does that mean? we'll take you live to damascus.

kidnapped and murdered, and i don't know if a parent ever gives up hope their child is alive. but when you heard this, when you heard these girls made it after ten years, what was going on through your mind or through your heart today? >> well, i didn't believe it. i mean, you know, finding one child that's been missing for a decade, particularly under these kinds of circumstances, young girls, kidnapped by a predator to find even one child alive after a decade is an extraordinary thing. but to find three children who are now young women alive after this length of time is -- you don't want to throw this word around too much, but it seems like a miracle. certainly the sun shines a little brighter in the united states today because of the extraordinary events that happened in cleveland last night. >> marc, i talked to you on cnn international. you gave a great response to the question. i want to put it it you again. obviously there's psychological impact. given your perspective, where

you're coming from your knowledge and the work your organization does if you had these three women in front of you, what would you say to them to, i don't know, help them? >> well, first of all, let's understand that they were taken when they were girls. and a girl, a slight girl, has basically no chance against a determined predator, particularly once they're isolated. they've been intimidated, coerced, very well may have been tortured, threats have been made against their family, they've been raped numerous times, would be my guess. they've probably been under physical restraints. so, i think what i would tell them is you're not at fault. you have done absolutely nothing wrong. what happened to you done define you. that at this point, these girls need to take advantage of the assistance that's being offered to them, the psychological counseling, the spiritual assistance that might be offered through their churches and to

take full advantage of that, to talk to their counselors, people that are trained to assist them in putting their lives back together. but i would also counsel law enforcement, and i don't think i need to do so in this case, they need to be very careful how they proceed with these girls so that they can begin in the healing process and so that no further damage is done to their minds. >> marc, if your mind, can you understand how it is that these girls were held captive as long as they were without neighbors or without any kind of alarms here to what was going on in that house in? >> well, until we find out what was going on in the house, everything is obviously speculation. but as i just mentioned, you know, the threats, the intimidations, the torture, the restraint, i wouldn't be surprised if they find secret rooms, maybe tunnels or caves in that house. these girls have been in a very, very difficult position for the last decade. the extraordinary thing, suzanne, is the fact that one of these girls was able to take it

upon herself to effect her own release. that's something that rarely ever happens in these types of situations. usually if they're rescued, they're rescued because somebody's ultimately come and taken them out of the situation, not because they've done it on their own volition. >> you're in a unique position here as a parent who has firsthand experience with this, the loss of polly. anything you like to tell the parents of those daughters reunited with their families? >> well, sure. i mean, love your children. hold them close. thank goodness for your good fortune because what has happened to you and what has happened in your life is the rarest of all circumstances. and for that, feel blessed and understand your good fortune. >> marc, great to talk to you. marc klaas, thanks so much. as you were saying, what we'll

learn, what was the spark that made her do this at this time? what was it? >> it was extraordinary. marc talked about earlier, the fact that so many, they sometimes give up, give up on finding their parents or hoping somebody will come and rescue them and she went ahead. >> that becomes the new normal. certainly a lot more to learn, yeah. >> much more on this story up ahead. we're also taking a look at what else is happening around the world. help now on the way for the victims of the boston marathon bombings. >> yeah, the boston one fun has raised the $28 million now. the head of the fund says families of those killed in the attack will each receive more than $1 million, some xen sashgs at least, cautioning there is of course only so much money can do. >> i'll tell you right now, whatever we do with this fund is inadequate. and everybody i suggest lower your expectations about this fund.

if you had a billion dollars, you could not have enough money to deal with all of the problems that ought to be addressed by these attacks. >> and that fun is aiming to distribute money to the victims by the end of june. >> good for them. here's what it looked like in the philippines. earlier today, one of the country's most active volcanos spewing. you can see a giant cloud of ash, rocks into the air there. quite the surprise. four german hikers and filipino guide were kill because of this. 27 other hikers needed some help as well. >> falling rocks apparently the culprit there. queen elizabeth not going to the big commonwealth summit later this year. buckingham palace says the reviewing the number of long haul flights the queen takes is what's prompted this. the commonwealth is scheduled

the woman who president obama picked to be the next ambassador to libya's appearing today before the senate committee. deborah kay jones and she would replace chris stevens who was killed in embassy, that happened september 11th last year with through other americans. >> expecting to hear new details on the attack at a hearing tomorrow. dana bash reports a man described as a whistle-blower is going to be testifying. have a look. >> reporter: four military personnel were ready to board a plane from tripoli libya to benghazi to help american citizens under fire at the consulate there but ordered by superiors not to go. that's what gregory hicks, chief of mission in libya at the time,

told house republican investigators. >> the point this plane was being loaded between the first attack that killed two and the second attack that killed two more. they may not have arrived in time to save lives, but at the time the decision was made, the decision was wrong. >> reporter: who made that decision? >> we want to find out who made this decision. >> reporter: the pentagon has not yet responded to hicks' claims. house gop chairman daryl issa calls hicks a benghazi whistle-blower, saying hicks will testify this week that he believe the pentagon made a mistake by not scrambling f-15s to fly over, arguing it would have scared the attackers and might very well have prevented some of the bad things that happened that night, hicks told gop investigators. then defense secretary leon panetta argued by the time military response could have arrived the attack was over. >> this is not 911. you cannot just simply call and expect within two minutes to have a team in place. >> reporter: hicks will bolster

gop claims that obama officials knew from the start it was not what they publicly suggested. i think everybody in the mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning hicks cole investigators saying slain embassy chris stevens' final report was, greg, we are under attack. earlier this year, hillary clinton snapped at republicans for dwelling on questions about what sparked the attack. the fact is we have four dead americans. what difference at this point does it make? >> reporter: hicks told investigators it made a big difference because u.n. ambassador susan rice, references administration talking points, called it a demonstration on television minutes after libya's leader called it an attack. hicks said it offended libya and played it harder for the fbi to investigation. it's simply his opinion. >> weeks later, in new york, the president of libya was still upset about being called out as either misinformed or lying on national tv in the u.s.

i think it's suffice to say it had an affect on diplomatic relations. >> reporter: the committee's top dem argued they were iced out of the investigation calling it a partisan report with reckless and false accusations. how do you answer the charge that what you're doing is partisan? >> well, i think that changing the talking points from the truth to an untruth is certainly partisan and likely for political reasons but i think the better question is, why are the democrats not just as upset that we didn't do all we could do to save american lives? >> reporter: issa's democratic counterpart says issa and republicans are engaging, in, quote, investigation by press release which does a disservice to finding the facts. dana bash, cnn, capitol hill. much more ahead on that incredible story of the missing women in ohio. missing no more after more than nine years. >> and coming up, a look at the legal consequences that their captors might face. look what mommy is having.

the story that everybody is talking about this morning, three young women, missing now for a decade. their families never giving up hope that somehow they would be found alive. last night the hopes, prayers, answered. unbelievable. >> it is unbelievable. so many questions. we want to show you something. all went missing in the same area of cleveland. michele knight the first to disappear, this happened august of 2002. she was last seen at west 106th street and loraine avenue. a bit of a map for you. amanda berry disappeared april 2003 last seen west 110th and loraine avenue. and gina dejesus disappeared april 2004, last seen at west 105th and loraine avenue. all of this not that far from the house, about four, five kill

lom testi kilometers. >> they would actually find these girl as live after so long, the stories usually end up in tragedy but people are celebrating. an investigation has to be done to figure out how this went down. people asking questions. joey jackson's here with us from hln and legal analyst as well. we have just been talking about this all day. i mean, first of all, you've got three guys, they're in custody here. what are the potential charges? and how did this happen? how does this go undetected? >> first of all, it's amazing. think of the mixed emotion. there's always a human element. wow, you have triumph, jubilation, they've been uncovered, discovered, yeah. and on the other hand the family mixed with jubilation of missed opportunities to be with them, to grow with them, to love them, all of this time. but as we get towards the investigation, i think we're going to see major charges here

that are going to be levelled. look at kidnapping charges. false imprisonment charges. if anything regarding sexual, you know, violations and that type of thing, there will be those charges which will be added. police have a lot of work to do. as you've seen in the press conference, they're going through everything. going to look at that scene. they're going to see if the certainly the defendants to be will walk to them. interview anyone associated with them and even, not only with regard to this case, but they'll look at other potential abductions to see if they've been involved in those as well. >> are they worried, do you think it's easy to monday morning quarterback and say, they're all taken at the same spot, turn up 5.3 kilometers away, 3 miles, from where they were all taken. roughly in the same ber area. did the police do enough in that's a natural question but also quarterbacking. >> it is, michael, to some degree. the police have to walk a fine line. we don't flow exaknow exactly w

police did. i'm loathe to blame them, yes a call happened earlier, they went to the home and didn't go in and bang down the door, but people have rights. you don't want them knocking done your door, or screaming what are you doing? i did nothing here. we'll find out exactly what the police did. remember, captors, they are often -- they can't say anything because if they do they subject themselves to harm, torture, goodness knows what else by the people who have captured them and who are holding them against their will. >> one was a homeowner and two other brothers involved. any difference in charges, what kind of charges they would face in one was housing them but potentially others were involved and knew about this? >> there could be. this is how it will play out. there's a conspiracy charge, if people are agree egg to commit a criminal act all are equally culpable despite what role they have to play. charges associated with accessory after the fact. maybe you weren't involved with

the abduction but when you knew it was unlawful, you could have stepped in and done something. we'll see the degree what each party is involved. conspiracy, kidnapping charge, and could be accessory charges. you can't think a brother knows this is going on and says nothing after all of this time? there's a responsibility to act, they didn't, and they certainly have to be held accountable. >> joey, thanks so much. joey jackson, legal analyst, hln contributor as well. imagine, suzanne, pulling that house apart brick by brick. >> what marc klaas said, he imagined tunnels, all kinds of things or some rooms that people knew about. you don't know what kind of role the brothers played in all of that. >> a lot more to learn. all right. still ahead, we'll go inside syria. another very important story you need to know. we'll have a firsthand look at the damage inflicted by this weekend's israeli air strike in that country. don't miss that. fred pleitgen with that. #%tia[

now. the air strike zone. fred pleitgen is joining us from damascus. you got back from a neighborhood to where the israeli attacks took place. what did they describe happen? what did they see and experience on the ground? >> reporter: it was actually the town right where that military site is, suzanne. as you recall, one of the sites hit was the military research facility. we went to the town today. there is absolute mayhem in that town as well. people we have been speaking to are telling us whole houses knocked over by explosions. the interesting thing, this town is on the one side of a mountain and the military base is on the other side of the mountain. so there's a mountain in between the base and the town, and still buildings were knocked over there. you can see a lot of the destruction. people were telling me that dozens of people actually died in their houses as all of this went on. they pointed to one house where

apparently a family of six people died and most people sleeping in the town and all of a sudden hell broke loose. explosions started happening. some people, when houses were destroyed tried to hide under cars. when we got out there, people were still cleaning up, picking up debris, sifting through debris, seeing what they could salvage, suzanne. >> fred, talk about the syrian regime. a situation where here israel says these were missiles, maybe scud missiles, that could reach anywhere inside israel, if they were to get to lebanon coming from iran through syria into lebanon. that's what they were preempt e preemptively trying to stop and. what does the regime say whether the missiles were going there, whether they were even the missiles? a lot of people from beijing to istanbul to the region itself a lot of criticism on israel for basically attacking another

sovereign state. what is the regime say about this path of these missiles? >> reporter: well, that's a very good question. the regime, for its part, says it wasn't even missiles that were hit. they're saying, there was an ammunition dump hit in a different location. they're saying it's a military research facility and that's as far as they're willing to go. the interesting thing that happened and i was on the ground there, when you look at the ground, it was littered with ammunition. and it wasn't -- didn't seem like missile but was there were a lot of bullets there, there were larger parts of what might have been shells. and what people were telling me is that all of this, when big explosions happened was flown over this area, you can see hundreds of shells and shell casings on the ground there. clearly it appeared to us as though some sort of something

exploded and propelled the smaller bullets. whether or not this was some armed depot is unclear. certainly there was a big explosion and a big explosion of weapons that happened, certainly from what we could tell from being on the ground today. >> extraordinary access. good reporting there, fred, as always. fred pleitgen in damascus. >> the white house is keeping a close eye on. also the pred meetisident meeti the president of south korea. tensions with north korea might be easing there. seeing photos of the limousine pulling up. the north withdrawn two ballistic missiles from a launch site, according to one u.s. official. however, north korea issued a new threat today. warning that military action if even a single shell from naval exercises between the united states and south korea lands in its waters. take a look at those pictures of the arrival there. we also expect to hear from the president later next hour about

that critical meeting between those two leaders. >> a lot to be discussed there. another brazen attack on a public bus, happening in rio de janeiro. is that city safe enough to host the world cup and summer olympics? >> live to brazil after a break.

one of most contentious issues are what do you do with the body of a terror suspect, tamerlan tsarnaev? >> folks in massachusetts making it clear, they don't want him buried there. paula newton in boston. what are you hearing about the remains that nobody wants? >> reporter: well, michael, what a drama here. still there does not seem to be a resolution. what we do know, we're hearing two things. one the funeral home itself is telling us they expect a resolution to this soon, perhaps tomorrow. but not giving us any indication of what that resolution would be. and also the worcester police department, trying to keep a lid on this for the last few days there are protesters there they are trying to make sure it done get out of hand, they also said they are speaking with the family, michael, namely the unc of the tsarnaev brothers, to see what can be done to move this issue forward. and, michael, it's worth noting all of this started because catherine russell, the widow of

tamerlan tsarnaev relinquished all right of next of kin to do anything about the burial and it was left to tamerlan's family who is not here in the united states, immediate family, and they are in russia. that's where it stands. we continue to wait to see what that solution will be. >> is there a legal responsibility here? you know about? somebody's got to take responsibility. >> reporter: you know, talk about, you know, it's like a hot potato that no one wants. talk to local officials, state officials, federal officials, everyone says they have no role. michael, the person who could have solved the situation was catherine russell. she was clearly next of kin. could have decided what to do and done it. because she decided she did not want to have anything to do with his burial or dealing with his remains it was left to his family, and that is where the confusion all started. got to remember, it's been five days. he was -- his body left unclaimed in the morgue for longer than it had to be as well and that's the problem here. any level of government you speak to says, we have no

solution. you get the sense what officials are trying to do is mediate with the uncle, a member of the family, and the funeral home to come up with some solution. >> paula newton. the story, it might be weeks before we know what caused, the tragic story, limo fire that caused this woman, the bride-to-be and four friends to perish. they were headed to the bachelorette party when the limo they were in caught fire on a bridge another oakland california. investigators are working close to the case. we're hearing from survivors of that fire. inside the limo. >> i said there's smoke and a spark came out. there's a fire. stop the car. stop the car. when he stop the car he get out from the car, he just get out from the car. then he get out from the car.

he just opened the door, that's all he did. i asked him help me, help me, bring out my head from the compartment and say help me, so i could squeeze myself over and and slide myself. open the door, open the door. he didn't do anything. when i ran back, jasmine, was saying i cannot get out. help! i cannot get out. so i tried to pull her out. i tried to check if i can pull out one more, but it's already too dark, i can't see anything anymore. >> that is just heartbreaking to listen to isn't it? can't imagine what it was like inside there. she mentions the limo driver. he is also speaking out. he did get out safely. and says he actually managed to

help one or two of the women escape. he said it happend so fast he wishes he could have done more to save the others. we'll be right back. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover, and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i've been with bp for 24 years. i was part of the team that helped deliver on our commitments to the gulf - and i can tell you, safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge safety equipment and technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all our drilling activity, twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. safety is a vital part of bp's commitment to america - and to the nearly 250,000 people who work with us here. we invest more in the u.s. than anywhere else in the world. over fifty-five billion dollars here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor.

our commitment has never been stronger.

new strain of bird flu claiming more victims in china.

four more people died from the h 7 n 9 virus. brings the total number of deaths to 31 people since the strain of the i vus detected back in march. 129 people infected. and the world health organization says it doesn't believe that the virus can actually bring on a pandemic, at least not in its current form. there is also a manhunt, this is in rio de janeiro, a man who allegedly robbed, raped a woman on a public bus. this happened friday in a poor suburb west of the city. >> look at the video there, too. back in march that american tourist was also beaten and raped on a public bus, french boyfriend also beaten. shasta darlington joins us from sao paulo. we saw that security video of the suspect, obviously the cops trying to get his face out there. what are you hearing from them? >> reporter: well, that's the problem, michael. this did happen friday night.

they still haven't found the guy. they put this video out there. as you can see, a surveillance video from inside the bus where crimes took place. it's a minute and a half. we see the suspect get on the bus, he appears to herd the passengers to the back. and then to come up front and talk to the driver. but this, like i said only a minute and a half. and this tear feig incident happened over the course of a half hour. what we know from police is the suspect robbed all of the passengers, he was armed, he then had them move up to the front of the bus while he raped a woman and hit her over the head with the butt of his gun repeatedly over the course of a half hour. finally one point the bus stopped and he jumped off and got away into traffic. police say the passengers told them that the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs. this was out in a shanty town. they haven't found him yet, michael. >> i imagine there's a security camera that people would be on the lookout for this guy and there's some vigilance here

especially because this is a place where it's hosting the pope, world cup, olympics in the next couple of years. we're looking at big problems when it comes to the safety of women there. >> reporter: absolutely, suzanne. the problem is we can no longer talk about an isolated incident. that terrible incident happened last march, the end of the month when an american tourist gang raped aboard mini bus while her french boyfriend was tied up and beaten. this happened over six hours. a horrific crime. the country up in arms. we're seeing one robbery after violent attack after another and people are asking, is rio safe? >> thank you, shasta. that is the question. people will be following this. when it doesn't happen to the tourists, it done get a lot attention. >> that happens a lot to locals. stay with us. coming up in the next hour, on "cnn newsroom," new jersey governor chris christie
