"outfront," news, the united states on the verge of an historic deal with iran. plus, honoring jfk. people in the u.s. and around the world will show you, celebrating the form he president. and new information about the 24-year-old teacher found murdered behind her school. horrific details about the attack and a possible motive breaking late today. let's go "outfront."

good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett on this friday night "outfront." we begin with the news. the united states on the verge of an historic deal with iran. secretary of state john kerry suddenly deciding to go to geneva at the flip of a hat. today he is on a plane right now and that's where the u.s. and iran are meeting to work out a deal on iran's nuclear program. jim shuuto is "outfront." you've been breaking a lot of the news. what are you hearing? the real question is, is there really going to be a deal that gives full access to all nuclear sights? a deal that will guarantee iran never gets a nuclear weapon? >> well, it looks like they're close to a deal. whether kit guarantee that, i'm not sure. it is past 1:00 in the morning and they're still talking. they're still good go at it. i'm told the reason is they feel they are really close. the western official said they

could reach a deal as soon as tonight. now you have the foreign ministers coming in. secretary of state john kerry arriving tomorrow, the british foreign minister, the french foreign minister, we've just heard the chinese foreign minister. now you have the permanent five members of the united nations plus one. that being germany coming together here. and you really get a sense, they would not be coming in, sticking their necks out unless they thought they were about to sign something. >> a great point. you were there a couple weeks ago. they were there and it fell apart. as you know, so many are asking critics of this deal. israel, of course, including them. how can america strike a deal with a country whose extreme leader said israeli officials cannot even be called humans? >> we were talking about the supreme leader the other day. this is out of character with the talks here. from the beginning. these talks, western officials, american officials have said how different the tone is from serious, constructive, friendly. the contrast between what you hear here and back from the

pulpit in iran is drault. it didn't go unnoticed. that said when you speak to the diplomats, we're focused on this deal. we've got a lot of work to do and they have a sense it is meant for a domestic audience. the supreme leader said he supports the idea of negotiations. so you have heard kerry, the u.n. condemning those comments but then saying we have this substance to possibly make an historic agreement. i guess you can say they're compartmentalizing. >> it sounds like it. as you say. the devil will be in the details and that will be the crucial thing everyone goes through. thank you very much. 1:00 a.m. in geneva as they are waiting the final details that is expected. an historic moment. our second story, honoring john f. kennedy. the nation pausing to remember one of its darkest days, 50 years to the day since the

assassination of president john f. kennedy. numbs around the world show the international communicate playing tribute to the iconic u.s. leader. he was killed when he was only 46 years old. president kennedy is now considered the most popular president in the last half century. his youth agencies long way to poll numbers like these. kennedy is a 90% approval rating right now. president obama declared today one of remembrance with flags at the white house and capital flying at half-staff. the ceremonies began this morning at arlington national cemetery. the eternal flame burns at the 35th president's flame. a somber wreath laying ceremony at the state house and this is incredible. for the first time in 50 years, the stiff dallas recognizing the event that has scarred it so deeply. thousands gallon gathering in the rain to mark the exact moment when president kennedy was there. ed lavendera was there and he is

there tonight. you've been covering these events all day. what amaze me is that concept that that is such, you're at such an historic place. and for 50 years, dallas didn't actually commemorate this event. today obviously was very different. >> it was very different. unlike anything the city has seen in 50 years, mostly because the city has been a place where it was the end of the john f. kennedy story. this was where he was gruesomely assassinated. the sixth floor window there that you see behind me, people have come here to talk essentially about how he was assassinated and that is something that the city officials wanted to get away from. but now that everything has ended here, the official ceremony, it didn't take long for the conspiracy theorists to come back to the grassy knoll. they're back out here tonight continuing to talk about the mystery that surrounds the assassination of jfk. if hollywood producers could give the kennedy assassination

the 21st century forensic crime show treatment, it would be solved by a show like csi in an hour. five decades later, conspiracy theories thrive. >> i would not want to be considered to be a believer that one person did this alone when that was impossible. >> reporter: to this day, robert groeden preaches conspiracy on the grassy knoll every weekend. he is dedicated his life to the kennedy assassination, consulted the house committee on political assassinations in the 1970s, even had small parts in oliver stone's film, jfk. he moved to dallas almost 20 years ago just so co-deem fighting the warren commission's conclusion that lee harvey oswald acted alone. >> oswald could never have been convicted. that's why they had to kill him. >> where do you think the shots came from? >> well, shots came from at least four different directions. >> this is the result of about 12 different locations of

actually running this. >> reporter: the kennedy assassination got csi treatment by mike haig and the team of investigators themselves analyzed it with modern forensic tools using this $180,000 scan per created a 3d image of the applause. after analyzing medical and police reports, re-created the shooting scene as if they were investigating a modern murder case. >> the physical evidence really does tell the tale. >> that tale is what? >> if you look at the physical evidence there is nothing to suggest anything other than lee harvey oswald shot the president. >> reporter: he tracked the path of three fired shots. the first he said likely hit the street and disintegrated. the so-called magic bullet is the most controversial. it struck kennedy in the back, exited out of his throat, passed through governor connelly's back, wrist and then gd loe in his leg. the bullet was later found in the hospital intact but slightly warped like a kidney bean.

to conspiracy theorists, this seems improbable. >> that magic bullet has been a source of controversy for five decades and you're saying it could have easily happened. >> absolutely. >> reporter: to prove the point, haag's documented the shooting for the show, nova. >> he will test fire one round. >> reporter: the impact is record with a high speed camera. >> the bullet has penetrated 36 inches. but what condition is it in? >> the nose of this bullet is undeformed. it is still perfectly round. >> reporter: he also says the entrance wound in kennel's back is perfectly round but the entrance wound in connelly's back is not. which suggests that bullet tumbled out of kennedy into connelly. >> it actually fits pretty darn well with the physical evidence. >> reporter: then there is gruesome shot. he said it came from the sixth floor window, struck president's skull, then fragmented.

parts of it kreeng across the plaza striking the curb and ricocheting out and hitting a third victim. a man by the name of james, who suffered a minor face wound. >> if you fragment is bullet, that is within the realm of possibility for them to deflect and travel that distance. >> reporter: but today, james tag doesn't believe that story. he thinks there was another shooter and more than three shots fired. >> they were not going to mention the shot. so they had to go back and fit a missed shot in there. and that's when they came up with the magic bullet theory. >> that the hole in kennedy's back -- >> reporter: mike said he did not find any physical evidence of a second gunman or clues that shows shots were fired from a second location. for robert groden and conspiracy theorist who's still flock to the grassy knoll five decades later, this still isn't enough. >> people come because they know something is wrong themselves wanted to come and find out and

see for themselves themselves come and look around. they see the sixth floor, they see the angle, they know shots came from the front. they say it couldn't have happened that way. >> reporter: a lot of these conspiracy theorists say the official reports cannot be believed, that there was information missing. if you think that after 50 years we will stop hearing about conspiracy theories, that will not happen. in fact, the cia has given over sealed documents that are being held at the national archives in washington, d.c. and the plan is to release those documents in 2017. so by no means have we heard the end of this story. >> by no means. thank you very much. i have to say i really like how ed showed the bullet as it goes through, it goes through wood and how it shows a bullet would behave. incredible when you think about it experimentally. it actually supported the warren commission. don't miss the assassination of jfk tonight on cnn.

. our third story "outfront," gruesome new details and hints at a possible motive which is what everybody has been waiting for. the case is a 14-year-old student accused of raping and killing his math teacher using a box cutter. that is horrific enough and impossible to comprehend, i realize that but it gets worse. according to newly unsealed documents that we have obtained today, the student, phillip chism, became angry when his teacher made reference to tennessee. when he made reference to tennessee. why is that important? that's the state from which chism had just moved. his parents went through a difficult divorce and he moved from tennessee. and literally, that seems to be the only clue as to a motive. we begin our coverage with alexander field "outfront." >> reporter: the details are disturbing, according to a previously sealed search warrant aft surveillance video shows colleen ritzer's 14-year-old

student, phillip chism, followinging ritz entire the bathroom. donning gloves and a sweatshirt with a hood over his head. he is seen walking in and out of the bathroom several times. 30 minutes later he is seen leaving with a black face mask and pushing a recycling bin. ritzer's body was later found in the woods behind the school next to a handwritten note that read, i hate you all according to the documents. the police say ritzer had been raild with an object. according to the affidavit, he was found with a blood stained box cutter, underwear and credit cards. the report said he was reported getting 50sly upset the day before when she started talking about tennessee. a place chism used to live with his parents before they split. documents say it was a stressful divorce. no motive is mentioned. in a statement, ritzer's family says we are devastated and heart broken by the details of the

horrific circumstances surrounding the death of our beautiful daughter and sister, colleen. >> phillip chism is charged with murder. he will be tried as an adult on that charge. we were not able to reach his attorney for comment. he is also charged as a youth offend four aggravated rape and armed robbery. he will be back in court on december 4th for his arraignment. >> thank you very much. you hear the report. according to people who knew 14-year-old phillip chism, he was a quote/unquote good kid with no prior history of violence which is something it seems like we all often hear around these horrific cases. what led him to allegedly commit this rape and murder? outfront, criminal on theist. a fellow stoonl said, a fellow stoonl said he became horribly upset when someone mentioned the state of tennessee. that's the closest thing that we have at this point to a quote/unquote motive. >> right. that's all we have. the student also observed when the teacher colleen ritzer mentioned tennessee, he got upset but she didn't notice

this. it took her a while to catch on that he was very agitated. that tennessee push his buttons which in our minds makes us think, something bad happened to him in tennessee or that he was very defensive on this topic. was she calling him unfist at this indicated. and that she wasn't noticing his distress. >> and once she figured it out, she dropped the topic but i think that's when he formed this reactive formation. he got a chip on his shoulder and said i don't like this teacher. the biggest thing we lermd is that he must have been smoldering on this idea. because he planld and premeditated that attack. >> planned and premeditated. in the note today the police said, that it said i hate you all. this is different. how do you know when somebody who is acting that way is somebody who is capable of committing something like this in. >> obviously you don't know. and i'm sure colleen ritzer never thought in a million years this student would follow her into the bathroom with a box

cutter. when he says "i hate you all." it's not just colleen ritzer. he's been angry at the world for a very long time. you have to ask, will details be reveal that he was abused sexually or physically? that he has been a powder keg for years and she is simfully wrong place at the wrong time. she precipitated this by pushing a button but he was looking for an excuse to explode. >> we heard this with dzhokhar tsarnaev. i remember being there in boston. this was nicest guy. the nicest kid. here is what friends or people who knew phillip chism said about him to our reporters at cnn. >> he seemed like a genuinely nice kid and i saw no problems at all. >> he didn't have problems interacting with the students. never showed signs of aggression. >> he seal like a normal kid. he was not a troubled kid. he had nice grades and everything. >> how the heck are you supposed to know? >> the problem is that based on with a we've haergd he was called dagts ever dangerously

anti-social. the personality where he feel no remorse no, empathy. you're not supposed to know. it is the adam lanzas with histories have emotional disturbance. >> this is, he came off nice but because he never interacted, they just assumed he was nice. >> because he was stuffing down that rage all these years. people assume he is nice. you look for what we call leakage. the little sinls. i think as details come out about his early childhood years, we will see tiny signs that he was enraged and looking for someone to blame. >> and colleen was in the wrong place, wrong time. shocking new details about the hate crime we've been covering. a fourth white student charged with treating a black student like a slave. plus the white house at war with the media. journalists with new claims. this is going to be incredible, i promise you, the obama administration is keeping them from doing their job.

hate crime charges expanding at san jose university. according to the latest reporting from the san jose mercury news, a fourth student has been charged with harassing and bullying his black roommate. we covered the story yesterday but let me remind you the allegations include putting a bike lock around his neck, taunting him with racial slurs, calling them things like

three-fifths. and nazi symbols and racial epithets. dan simon today had the opportunity to speak exclusively with one of the victims' friends and get some crucial information with what really happened. >> reporter: this is where it happened. room 704 in the freshman dorm on the san jose state campus. >> there was about four or five policemen in the hallway by his door. >> reporter: kyle lives in the next room over and was there the night when police went to question the teenagers, all white. accused of committing hate crimes against their african-american roommate. tell me about the victim. your friend. what is he like? >> as he really nice kid. i wonderful expect this to happen to him. i don't know anybody that would want to be his enemy, which is really sad. i don't like anything he has to go through now. >> reporter: he said he considers the victim one of his closest friends. yet he said he was not aware the alleged abuse was happening important his friend was being called offensive name like three fifths and later, fraction.

the original formula for counting slaves. >> could i tell he was a little bit of a shy kid but i would have thought he would speak out about it sooner. he is not the kind of kid to hold back, i don't think. >> reporter: all the more incredible considering the allegations. the police report, 24 pages, panlts a disturbing living environment with hate symbols slashed on the walls. a swastika and a picture of aid. on hitler. physical abuse as well, including forcibly holding down victim and placing a bicycle lock around his neck. >> it is weird that something like that can happen right next door to me and i don't even know, not hearing anything that went on. >> reporter: reflecting on itering thinks his friend probably just wanted to blend in and not stir up trouble. it wasn't until the victim's outraged parents saw the n word written on the dry erase board did anything take place. they alerted the school's housing authorities who then called police. we are deeply disturbed by the

horrific behavior that's have taken place against our son, the parents say in a written statement. our immediate focus is his protection. we are hopeful the district attorney's office will take necessary measures to ensure justice will prevail for our son. >> people want to know what type of students would act like this. >> that's what we're all wondering, i think. because being such a diverse campus, we wonderful who would do this stuff. and especially be able to get away with it how much they did. >> when i hear that they called him three fifths and he asked them to stop and they started calling him fraction. there is something visceral about that. where are the accused roommates? >> reporter: we know one turned himself into authorities. he was formally arrested and released on a $15,000 bond. the others are expected to do the same. we should point out the person

we talked, to kyle carbone, he knows all the suspects. but we should disclose that he says he did not see anything that they're accused of. that adds a whole other wrinkle to this. >> it does. that's a really interesting point. dan, of course, getting that exclusive interview. still to come, the breaking news on obama care. some very surprising numbers for you. and then president obama versus the media. journalists claim the white house is borrowing them from covering the administration. and we have the photographic evidence for you. plus, a virginia state senator who was stabbed more than ten time by his son. he has a message to supporters tonight and a big develop many on his health. and what is shaping up to be the biggest movie of the year. there is something that you might not know, even though you've seen her beautiful face everywhere about jennifer lawrence. that's tonight's "money and power" and it's coming up. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

. welcome back to the second half of "outfront." an update on the typhoon haiyan aftermath. the death toll is up to 5,200. a huge jump of a thousand in one day. a united nations official tried to explain the leak today. >> initially the debris was pushld to the side of the road.

once it starts being actively cleared, i think more bodies will be discovered. >> she said it is difficult to get an accurate figure because many of the dead were washed out to sea. 1,600 are still missing and the death toll is likely to rise further. virginia state senator creigh deeds has been released from the hospital and he has a message he put out after he was stabbed ten time by his son. he tweeted, i am alive so must live. some wounds won't heal. your friends and your friendship are important to me. teeth was stabbed by his son gus in the head and neck and his son gus, of course took his own life. a day before the fight gus was given a mental evaluation at the hospital but was released according to one report because a psychiatric bed was not available for him. tonight you could own the chicago area estate belonging to one most famous basketball players of all time, michael jordan. our team did some amazing research. they said the mansion he spent his championship years in is up for auction. he put it on the market twice.

he tried for $29 million and failed. and then lowered to it a mere $21 million. now he is a motivated seller. no minimum bid. nine bedrooms, 19 bathrooms. i guess they think people might have some gastric distress. a 14-car garage and an nba size basketball court. 56,000 square feet. so $21 million may sound like a bargain to some when you look agent it by square foot. in new york, for example, the price per square foot would be three time more than would you pay to buy michael jordan's home for $21 million. the zinger is that the property. at a r 174,000 a year. now our fifth story "outfront." breaking news. cnn learning the subsidies don't add up. we've heard the president talk about six dis. helping to pay for obama care. kathleen sebelius promised last spring, and i want to quote her directly. that somebody who makes $25,500 would definitely qualify for a

six did i. brianna is at the white house. what have you learned? >> not so fast for people in nashville, tennessee. if you are 25 and unl with that very income you just mentioned, you will not get a six did i. this flies in the face of obama care that if you're 400% of the poverty level or less. less than about 45,900 per year, you get government help paying for your premium. that is also something that hhs secretary kathleen sebelius has promised. the bad news first year. for young people, that is not actually troofl we found that to be the case in the largest city in almost every state. now, the good news is it is because health insurance is actually costing less than expected. the math on a subsidy relies in part on the cost of a premium. so because young people have lower premiums, and now they're even lower than expected, they're not seeing the subsidies

they would have expected. minneapolis where health care costs are really low, 47 and younger. once your income hits almost $29,000, no subsidy. and portland, organize orange 35 years and younger, no six did i as well once your income hits that almost $29,000 mark. that is an income only 250% of the poverty level. far below the 400%. a lot of those are sky high for some people themselves didn't expect that. and when you add all this together, if you're a young person. the people this whole system relies original you go in and you expect to get this subsidy and you find out you won't get it. that might discourage you from signing up. is that a big issue? >> that's right. that's a concern here. those young people even out the cost for older americans who are more expensive to insure. the case to be made from the administration is, look, your premium is quite. low this is great.

but try telling that to someone who thought they were going to get something for free and now it turns out they're not going to. so yes, as you are saying, another tough sell for the obama administration at a time when the obama care brand is really very damaged. and the president is already having a hard time selling his program because of the botched rollout which is still at this point, as you know, to be fixed. although website has improved some. >> thank you very much. with that news, as we indicated, there is a lot more details on cnn.com. you can go through the number. when you look at that promise made by the health and human services secretary, kathleen sebelius, anyone who makes $25,500 would qualify for a subsidy, it doesn't add up. and it is a white house that has prolsed repeatedly to be the most transparent in american history. right before the show, i spoke with ron, the executive director for the nonpartisan national journal. he has covered three consecutive administrations.

clinton, george w. bush and now president obama. and we talked about another major transparency controversy engulfing the obama administration that you have to see to believe. you just wrote a new article about a fight going on between the white house and the journalists like yourself who cover it about access to photographers. in a letter to the white house spokesperson, jay carny, signed by all major news outlets including cnn, the letter says as surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist's camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of the branch of government. you are in if he can readministration independent photo journalism with visual press releases. the one that gives the image that they really want out there as opposed to a different image. the first one on the left. we'll show the press version. on the right, the white house photo before the 50th anniversary of martin luther

king junior's i have a dream speech at the lincoln memorial. obviously the money shot is the one from behind them where you see the adulation of the crowds. >> so what's happening, first of all. i'll give you a behind the scenes. there was a conversation that went on before that event where the white house said, yes, you can get behind the president and shoot out toward the mall. that's the shot you want. we'll make sure you get it. wasn't until they got to the scene the photographers were told, no, you're not getting that shot. no explanation. no excuse. they were given a much worse shot. what you have is those pictures are both distributed. one through the wire services and through normal challenges. the news media channels. one through flicker and facebook. and everyone is choosing the best photo. they're choosing, if you get a choice between first one which is another picture of the president and the first lady, or the historic shot from behind, everyone including, by the way, networks like yours and newspapers and news organizations that i work for

are grabbing off social media the best picture which is the prop ganld a picture. which is produced by somebody paid by taxpayers and who reports to the president to take flattering pictures of the president. not to have a skeptical eye. not to have a jaundice eye but to take flattering photos. so they arrange to have a monopoly on that day. and that just, that is a slippery slope, i think. >> and certainly one to your point, i think a lot of people when they look at these pictures, they don't know who took it themselves don't know which is the manipulated shot or the shot the white house wanted out as opposed to the one that is truly a candid. >> one point i would like nike because i'm critical of the white house. we have a responsibility in media too. what's happening is our editors and our producers are taking these pictures off social media and putting them in our papers and putting them on tv. i think a lot of time they don't realize. without clarifying. >> right. what's the difference between putting a white house photo out there? what's the difference between that and putting out a press

release and preletang it is news? >> to your point, there is none. this is another point. i'll show again to our viewers on the left and the right. the left, this is what journalists were given. the access that our industry had to the president's trip to the gulf coast. him eating lunch. that's it. and i know the photographers wrld, hey, that's it. he is not going swimming. nothing else will happen. but he did go swimming with his daughter sasha and the white house took that wonderful picture and that was the money shot. as you point out, a reminded, take a look at the picture of vladimir putin frolicking in the water. we make fun of those vladimir putin pictures all the time but how is that any different? >> obviously, you're not and i'm not come faring soviet union to the united states. that would be ridiculous. but what is also ridiculous is a white house in a, in a democracy

like ours that has a free and independent media freezing out the media more than any president has. it has gotten worse, the three presidents i've covered. president obama is. worse than president bush was and bush was worse. also our reporters from events that we've covered in the past and we should be covering now. it is not healthy in any country. certainly not healthy in our country. >> and it is interesting. i know you say, look, it is not fair in many ways to compare the u.s. to russia but there are some similarities when you look at the pictures. one of the most iconic photos of president obama. the first african-american president in the united states history is this one, as you point out. looking out the window of the rosa parks bus alone. an incredibly poignant image. you wrote it is a great photograph but it is no better than beef cake photos of russian president vladimir putin. in other words this was completely and utterly staged. >> right. it is staged.

it is shot by an agent of the government. paid by taxpayers whose job it is to flatter the leader. that is prop ganld. a that's a state-run media. nobody that i know has a problem with the white house using social media. but they're doing it in connection with or at the same time that they're locking us out of the events. so when you're using social media to push out these images and push out this printed content, he is running in effect what is a state-run media organization. the slippery slope, the president president, the next president, the president after that. as they weaken us, shut us out of more events, where will we be a generation from now? >> let us know what you think about that. the white house was asked about this issue of access. the spokesman responded, there are certain circumstances where it is not feasible to have independent journalists in the room when the president is making decisions.
