the wildlife there. it's a fascinating view of this. you can see more of it on our website cnn.com. and check out mainsail as well. >> beautiful stuff. thanks for watching. >> one day. >> they'll send us out there. >> yeah, right. >> cnn will pay the bill. >> have a great weekend everyone. i've got to go. suzanne's sticking around. >> all right. see you monday. free at last, this mom of seven is back in the u.s. after a week in a mexican jail. the emotional reunion with her family straight ahead. plus, new surveillance video showing the tsarnaev brothers working out at a boston gym just three days before those blasts went off. and battered by severe weather, some states just can't catch a break. today, may even look worse with possibly intense tornadoes and

baseball-size hail. this is "cnn newsroom" and i'm suzanne malveaux. we start in arizona of course. a mom free back in the u.s. today after more than a week in a mexican jail. yanira maldonado walked out of jail late last night this happened. and authorities arrested her last week, as you might recall, on charges of smuggling marijuana. well, maldonado tells reporters how she reacted when she learned that finally she was going to be let go. >> i'm free. out of jail. like i'm free, i'm free, i'm free. i was innocent. so i was very, very happy to be out. >> what was your life like in the jail? what did you do for all these days? >> well, first i was very sad because it was i couldn't think that i was there because i was innocent. and i was told that i would be, you know, sent to another

prison, a federal prison. and that really scared me. but it really got my faith and reading the scriptures. i found a book of mormon and i was reading with some of the inmates. >> so what happens next for maldonado? casey wian is in goodyear, arizona, where she lives. casey, the family all along said from the very beginning that she was innocent. i imagine that they're going to have a little party for her, yeah? >> they sure have a right to and a good reason to. we've spoken with two of yanira maldonado's daughters in the hours since she was released from that mexican prison. as you can imagine, they're very, very happy. the family is trying to seems like avoid media cameras at this point. they are somewhere between nogales, arizona and goodyear, arizona, that's where the family home is.

clearly this family stuck together, said all along that she was 100% innocent. they pulled together a network of family and friends to rally support for yanira maldonado. they got lawmakers involved, they got social media involved. it was really quite an impressive effort and they believe that helped get her released, suzanne. >> casey, i know there was security camera footage that turned out to be key evidence in the case. tell us what that showed. and is there anything left to be done before she is essentially free to go? >> couple of things. that security camera footage was key according to her attorney. what it showed, and it's something that witnesses said and something that the family said all along, is surveillance video showing yanira and her husband, gary, boarding that bus with only a couple of blankets, a couple of bottles of water and a small purse in their hands between the two of them. there's no way they could be carrying that much marijuana, packages containing more than 12

pounds of marijuana, onto that bus. very clear that it was placed there by someone else. in terms of what happens next on the legal front, there is some sort of an appeal that is expected to happen on the part of mexican authorities. which is strange because the mexican military had an opportunity to provide witnesses to bolster their case during the week. those witnesses did not show up. we don't know if that appeal is sort of an automatic thing or if they're going to really pursue that in earnest. but in terms of in the united states, she is a free woman. she expects to be able to return to mexico some day where she has family. that process though is still ongoing, suzanne. >> all right. good for her. thank you, casey. appreciate it. the aftermath of the boston marathon bombings now, the father of a man shot dead by the fbi, he's not buying the story about what happened, what he was told what happened. ibragim todashev, he knew the tsarnaev brothers who are suspected of setting off the bombs in boston. todashev was killed by an fbi

agent who was asking him questions about his relationship with the brothers. agents say he had attacked them. well, todashev's father says that doesn't make any sense. >> he didn't pose any threat to them, but even if he threatened them with his fists, couldn't they shoot his leg? my son couldn't attack them because he's not crazy. i don't know how they could shoot him like that. >> the father does say that he trusts the fbi's investigation. he is hopeful that the american justice system is going to hold somebody accountable for his son's death. and some video, this is that we have not actually seen before. this has emerged today. this is of the two brothers who police say planned, carried out the attack at the boston marathon. it was recorded just three days before the bombings. the two brothers, you see them tamerlan and dzhokhar tsarnaev working out at the boston gym. shows them interacting with folks there. and interesting. it is interesting to investigators today. deborah feyerick, she's got that

detail. >> 72 hours before the bombs debt new year's day, will the to the minute, suspects tamerlan and dzhokhar tsarnaev worked out together at a gym in boston. security cameras at the y crew mixed martial arts center show the brothers arriving with a friend just before 2:45 friday afternoon. we spoke to the manager who asked we only use his first name, michael. he says tamerlan, who you see in the hat, looked different. noticeably missing? tamerlan's full bushy religious beard he'd had for about two years. the manager describes tamerlan as extremely opinionated and outspoken about his muslim religion and says he didn't ask tamerlan why he'd shaved because he didn't want to engage in what was likely to be a long heated debate. >> shaving the beard may be a way to blend in, not to attract scrutiny from security services in carrying out the boston attacks. >> tamerlan trained at y crew

several times a month for free, a professional courtesy to the nationally ranked golden gloves boxer. dzhokhar rarely came, showing up just two or three times in roughly two years. >> we've seen with western militants want-to-be jihadist real emphasis on physical training, physical fitness, wanting to be prepared for jihad. >> almost immediately the manager who is off screen to the right asks the men to follow posted gym rules and take off their shoes. younger brother dzhokhar complies right away. tamerlan does not arguing instead, not giving any ground. the manager later e-mails the owner asking him to bantamer lan, calling him arrogant, selfish, never helping anyone else. the argument doesn'tin the of evident. watch how skillfully he handles the jump rope. dzhokhar has more difficulty, less stamina as he struggles to hold up the oversized shorts. the manager says the man in the

middle was introduced as a friend. we've blurred his face. he was later questioned and released by the fbi. tamerlan remains focused, barely missing or breaking stride. it's right here that the brothers interact. they seem relaxed. dzhokhar resting at times. tamerlan moving, moving, working out 72 hours before two bombs exploded near the finish line of the boston marathon. >> deb joins us from new york. and so, deb, tell us about the people who are running that gym. what do they have to say about the brothers? and are police interested in talking to them? >> as a matter of fact the owner of the gym and manager, are indeed cooperating with the fbi. they showed them the surveillance tape, investigators basically took some screen grabs chrks a , which are like photos. the manager says this is surreal, like something out of a movie that someone he knew, who he spoke to just three days before the boston attacks was there casually working out at

the gym. but make no mistake, the manager did not like tamerlan tsarnaev. he found him arrogant. he found him opinionated. they would get into what he called verbal sparring over various issues like religion where he says tamerlan always had to be right, always had to be right without any room for anybody else. so it was kind of an interesting dynamic. but even just to see them knowing that, you know, if as alleged they're the ones who did this, there they are. just working out at a gym while the bombs technically probably would have been ready. >> all right. deb, thank you. appreciate it. star-studded bands, solo artists rocking boston last night. this was in the boston strong concert to benefit the victims of the bombing. ♪ he got hair down to his knees ♪ >> pretty hot. aerosmith, new kids on the block

and jimmy buffet and others playing for free at this sold out show. boston native james taylor there as well. he spoke to our own brooke baldwin about his own revelation. >> a lot of my songs were written to help me sort of feel better. sort of as a -- and sometimes that resonates with other people too. so you write a piece of music or a song that sort of has the purpose of seeing you through a tough time or putting something out there that you feel eternal. >> concert expected to raise more than $1.5 million. that is for the boston one fund. good for them. for much of the midwest, the week ending just as it began. stormy skies, threat of tornadoes, the risk greatest today in oklahoma, kansas, missouri and arkansas.

oklahoma got hit by tornadoes yesterday. here's a storm chaser. this is in the town of cushing who actually spotted a cloud formation that looked rather ominous. look at this. >> look at that mezzo cyclone. right there. right there where that little road goes. >> i don't want to go too far. >> you're okay. just get two tires in it. >> wow. that wall cloud went onto form a tornado. tornadoes also touched down in arkansas creating a lot of damage there. also, golf ball-sized hail, fierce winds, at least nine people injured. here's also what we're working on for this hour. detroit is now broke. we are talking about $15 billion in the hole. so how is the city going to pay the bills? one thought, selling off its art collection. that's right.

van gogh and monet. >> selling your artwork should not be one way to fix it. it's like selling your kid. there are other assets that we can leverage and get this money that we need. >> and how a dumpling helped a 13-year-old win the spelling bee. we're going to talk to the champion live this hour. plus, some viewers of animal planet channel, they are outraged. they say they were duped. we'll tell you what's got them so fired up. ñó5wó

1st. the president said a republican plan to fix the rate change was "not smart." >> americans now owe more on our student loans than we do on our credit cards. and those payments can last for years, even decades. which means the young people are putting off buying their first car, or their first house. the things that grow our economy and create new jobs. >> the president said he wants low interest rates locked in for next year and new safeguards for lower income families. check this out, the animal planet channel logged its highest rated program ever with what was billed as a documentary on mermaids. that's right. the show was so convincing that many viewers were left scratching their heads wondering if mermaids are real. the problem is the documentary wasn't really a documentary. now viewers are angry. john berman looks at what

happened with mermaids. >> oh, my god, what is that? >> so what is that creature on top of a rock supposedly captured on film by tourists. >> oh, my god. >> many watching animal planet's "mermaids," saw it as proof that mermaids do exist. the show presented as a documentary details close encounters with the mythical sea creatures. >> dr. paul robertson, welcome. >> it even featured guests reporting to be scientists from the national oceanic and atmospheric administration, or noaa. but it was all in the name of entertainment. and it turns out dr. robertson is not really a scientist. so many viewers were fooled. noaa, a federal agency, felt compelled to issue a statement. it said "neither noaa nor its scientists are involved with anything related to this topic. no one from noaa was involved in

making the fictional show. and the person identified as a noaa scientist was an actor." if you watch the show closely enough, animal planet did include this disclaimer during the closing credits. certain events in this film are fictional. disappointed viewers took to twitter after discovering the show was fictional. animal planet, you are dead to me. you got me on your little mermaid hoax. what was the freaking point? one said. fascination with merpeople is not new. a wave of films like "splash" and "the little mermaid" has opened people's imagination to the possibility of life under the sea. ♪ under the sea >> that's apparently what the filmmaker, charlie foley, wanted. he told cnn that the show is based on real scientific and evolution theory and real life phenomena, rooting our story with facts encouraged a sense of

intellectual possibility. john berman, cnn, new york. >> looks pretty real. some felons in virginia may soon be eligible to vote. we're talking about at least 100,000 people. up next, we're going to talk to the republican who is behind this, governor bob mcdonald, up next. man: how did i get here? dumb luck? or good decisions? ones i've made. ones we've all made. about marriage. children. money. about tomorrow. here's to good decisions. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. ready to plan for your family's future? we'll help you get there.

with all the partisanship in politics these day, it's pretty rare you would find the president and the naacp find common ground. civil rights group is applauding virginia's governor for pushing to automatically restore voting rights to nonviolent felons. naacp president, governor bob mcdonald joining us. good to see you both. you guys know you're in a split screen, you're together. band, you joked earlier the republicans you worked with, you do great things together, they don't dare sit beside you. you're side-by-side. governor, tell us why so public why this was important to you. >> well, first of all, i was standing by ben two days ago.

so i'd be honored to do that. we've worked together on this. it's important. voting and being able to own and bear a firearm, these are constitutional rights and only should be deprived during periods of punishments. but once a felon, a nonviolent felon is finished with their probation, their parole, their incarceration and paid their debt to society, meaning their restitution, their fines and costs and have no pending felony charges, then we should restore their rights right away. that's what i've decided to do, suzanne, because we're a nation of second chances. people make mistakes, but we want to get them back into society fully resintegrated. the more people we get back out in society, 95% of prisoners are going to get released. the more that will be productive citizens, the better society will be. that's why we've done it. it will be an automatic restoration process taking the subjectivity and whims of the governor out of it. i appreciate ben and the naacp and many other civil rights

groups helping us to get this done. >> ben, tell us how this came about. what does this actually mean for the community? the voting community? the population now? >> you know, there's been a building movement in this state for decades. when i sat down with bob a few years ago, we realized that on this issue of redemption we had common ground and that we could move forward on this issue. now, what happened when he signed this is that we are now moving -- it will just be a matter of days, maybe two months tops, before 100,000 to 200,000 virgin virginians who had a lifetime ban on voting will be able to vote. we're a country that believes in second chances. and believe that voting is a right, not a privilege, but a right. and in this state for 112 years there has been a lifetime ban on people voting if they ever committed a felony. and it was put in place for the

most horrible reasons. a delegate, delegate glass at the convention in 1901 when it was put into the state's constitution that said because of this plan the darking will be e limb namted as a factor. the governor made it easier for communities to heal and the state to heal. and that's very important. >> it's interesting, ben, that you have that reference. it's a very, you know, offensive reference when you use that quote when you say darky, obviously that's applying to african-americans. governor, i want to ask you because there will be skeptics who will say, well, perhaps you are bringing this forward to give rights to african-americans for republicans to gain more support for your party. there is certainly a movement for broadening out the base, if you will. how do you respond to that? >> well, listen, there are actually i think more white convicted felons than african-americans. so this is a justice issue, suzanne.

it effects people of all ages, races and social classes. and to me as ben said, it's a matter of justice. and it's smart government. if you get people released from prison and we have a very active prison re-entry system, we're now restoring civil rights, i've restored more than any governor in history, recidivism rate down to 23%, that means less calls to prisons, that means less new victims. it's really smart. our declaration of independence has this really important principle that the government gets its just powers from the consent of the governed. if you're going to be able to give consent, you've got to be able to vote. i think this is such an important fundamental right. when you're done with your debt to society, you ought to get reintigrated. >> washington sometimes you look at it as a hot mess.

any words of wisdom for those guy who is are just not able to work together? >> you know, one of the reasons that this happened was that the governor said, look, i will meet with the naacp every single quarter. so our folks have met with him again and again and again each time finding common ground and ways to move forward. it's not important that we agree on all things. but it is important that where we can agree on big things that we identify that quickly and we move them forward. that's what people in this country yearn for. that's why this is so important. we also say there's a lot of republicans who have said we won't do this because we think it will give us more democrats, more people white than black tend to go that way. we've had frankly democrats who said we don't want to do this because we don't want to appear soft on crime. what bob did is simply courageous and the right thing. >> all right. we have to leave it there. it's a nice refreshing story here that we have really sometimes two opposite sides working in cohesion together.

thank you so much, governor, as well as ben. appreciate it. thanks very much. have a good weekend. >> thank you. an umbrella tip filled with the poison ricin. sounds like a movie. well, it was a weapon used in a cold war assassination. we've got details up ahead.

the mayor of new york. early tests show that the letters sent to mayor michael bloomberg contained a small amount of the poison ricin. final results are expected today. now, tests for ricin are also being carried out on the letter that was sent to president obama. an official says that letter looks similar to the one sent to bloomberg. now, all the letters were postmarked from shreveport, louisiana. the letters to bloomberg threaten to kill anyone who tries to take away their guns. ricin, one of the deadliest toxins known to man less than a pinpoint can kill a person in 36 to 48 hours. but using it as a weapon, not as easy as it sounds. since the 9/11 attacks, there have been six attempted ricin attacks here in the united states. no one was injured or killed. most of the cases remain unsolved. but that said, it has been used successfully as a weapon. one of the most infamous examples dates back to the cold war. the murder weapon, not a tainted letter, was more along the lines

of james bond. gary tuchman's got the story. >> george markoff was a beloved influential play write in his native bulgaria but defected in 1969 when communist authorities started to censor him and ban his plays. in september 1979 markoff walked across the waterloo bridge over the river tems. after he got to this bus stop, he felt a sharp pain in his right thigh and remembered seeing a man next to him fumbling with an umbrella. what he did not know is that he had just been victimized in a james bond-like cold war plot. the umbrella was actually a poisonous gadget that shot out this tiny platinum ball, a ball containing the deadly poison ricin. in this documentary, the umbrella assassin, which aired on pbs, the emergency room doctor who treated him tells him what happened when markoff came in. >> when i first saw him he was fully conscious, feverish but also pointing to an area on his

right thigh which he said was swollen and painful. and indicating that this was the area in which he'd been shot, stabbed or something had happened to him. >> four days later markoff was dead. his widow, ana bell, also appeared in the documentary. >> he told me that he'd been jabbed with an umbrella tip. it was almost as if he didn't want to believe it himself. and i don't think he wanted to frighten me with it. but he showed me the mark that the umbrella had made. >> this document allegedly shows the former bulgarian leader paid $57,000 to have markov killed. other bulgarian officials and soviet kgb officials were implicated, but no individual has ever been charged with the murder. in the dox yumt ri, he talked about government plots against him and defecting from bulgaria. >> i don't want to say that i'm, how you say, braver or more

honest than other people. perhaps if i were more honest, i should have been there because then fight the battle there, not be here. >> markov was 49 when he died, a victim of ricin and the cold war. gary tuchman, cnn atlanta. we're doing a quick check of the markets right here. right now the dow is down four points. looks like it may well end up being a great month for investors however. and we are looking at we hope the dow expected to finish the month at least this is 3% higher than where it started. and this is a trick question kind of sort of. can you spell knaidel? 13-year-old nailed it at the national spelling bee. new champion, he's going to join us up live next. we're at the exclusive el chorro lodge in paradise valley, arizona where, tonight, we switched their steaks with walmart's choice premium steak. it's a steakover! this was perfect. it was really good! one of the best filets i've had. see, look how easy that is to cut.

want to bring you some dramatic live pictures here out of houston, texas. this is a hotel that is on fire. you can see the aerials from there, from our affiliate. this is kprc. the huge big black billowing smoke that is coming from that facility there, it is a four alarm fire. a reporter on the ground saying that this fire might have started in the sports bar. you can see as they zoom in there, just dramatic flames, really engulfing that building. there are fire crews that are on the scene. you can see they have blocked off the street as well. it is close to the highway. but lots of personnel that are there, you see the emergency

crews as well as many of the fire trucks that are parked along the side. we have seen firefighters that are on site, very close to the flames, with hoses trying to get that out as quickly as possible. we don't know whether or not there is anyone inside of the hotel at this moment. but certainly we see some people on gurneys there that are near the ambulance. we're going to have more details. we'll bring that to you as soon as we can. it is almost like a going out of business sale in detroit, really. potentially on the table, van goghs, rodan and rembrandts. this is disturbing to art lovers, but detroit, so much in debt, it is considering all options to raise billions of dollars, including selling that art. poppy harlow explains. >> reporter: matisse, renoir, van gogh. treasurers of the detroit institute of art. >> this is a monet. >> reporter: a monet that could

be sold to pay down detroit's debt. more than $15 billion in debt, detroit's emergency manager kevin orr asked the museum for an inventory to appraise its 60,000 pieces. >> they basically let us know that the collection was not off the table. >> reporter: what makes detroit unique is that the city actually owns all of the art here. making it vulnerable for sale. in most cities, a nonprofit owns the art. in a statement, orr insists there is no plan on the table to sell any asset of the city. but says it is possible that the city's creditors could demand the city use its assets to settle its debts. that's if detroit files for bankruptcy. what did you think when you heard that this was under consideration? >> he has got to look at what assets detroit has, what they are worth, and whether they should be sold. >> reporter: would it be irresponsible for him not to do this? >> absolutely. >> reporter: the possibility of selling off beloved masterpieces

is sparking heated debate. >> i cannot even imagine this not being here. >> it is one of the things that to me makes the city worth going to. >> i hope it doesn't get sold off. >> what would the sale of this mean? >> it would be a tragic irony. the first u.s. museum to acquire a van gogh in 1922 and then 90 years later, we sell it. >> reporter: some works were donated with the mandate they not be sold. most, though, are on the table. >> how in the hell are you going to sell a renoir or a van gogh or a jacob lawrence painting to pay our bills. >> reporter: but this city is more than $15 billion in the hole. >> i know. but, see, selling your hart work should not be one way to fix it. it is like selling your kids. there are other assets that we can leverage and get this money that we need. >> reporter: what power do you have? >> we have the power of the courts. we will defend, we'll do everything we can to defend the

integrity of this collection, yes. >> reporter: as have people in three counties, who voted last year to increase their own taxes to support the museum when the city no longer could. but if detroit goes bankrupt, nothing may be able to save these masterpieces. poppy harlow, cnn, detroit. that's it for me.
