maybe, just maybe we will continue doing business that way. >> more action in four months than two or three years. >> the economic growth over the last six months and progress. >> that's it for me. newsroom with brooke baldwin starts now. great to be with all of you. i'm brooke baldwin. before i begin, a warning off the top here. some of the video you are about to see is quite graphic. >> in ukraine, the battle on the streets has intensified and snipers are firing off round and round in independence square. they are believed to be armed

forces. cnn cannot confirm this. we are hearing that many of the police there who were once violently fighting against the protesters are now being taken hostage. these pictures here are escorted. others believe to be defecting by choice to the other side. a short, short truce broke in overnight, bringing in the deadliest day ukraine has seen bringing in protests. at least 100 killed. for the olympic athletes there in sochi, that is actually enough to toss out the years of training and leave the olympic games. >> translator: my friends are there. people i know. close friends of mine. to go on the start line when people are dying and the authorities broke the main rule of the olympic competition which is peace. i simply cannot do it. >> back in washington, sources tell us that officials are fast

tracking sanctions and asset freeze on the ukrainian government are about to cross the president's desk. to new jersey, chris christie answered 13 questions at a town hall meeting and he was not asked once, not once about the traffic jam scandal. this was his first such event since being arrested back in the fall. i can tell you that a voter did bring a sign calling for resignation, but the bridge scandal got buried amid questions with hurricane sandy like this one. >> do you have a question for me? >> when are you going to fix my house. it's still broken. >> come here, nicole. who town do you live in? >> new jersey. >> so questions from folks big and small. they did not touch the cannscan.

a shoe bomb threat warning has airports security workers on high alert. recent intelligence suggests they have been working on new designs. the department is warning airlines to be on the look out for explosives there is no specific threat or plot as of right now. in los angeles, a short time ago a judge had harsh words for the man who severely beat a san francisco giants fan outside of dodger stadium in 2001. marvin nor and louie sanchez took a deal pleading guilty guilty for the attack that left brian stow permanently disabled. he was a paramedic and a judge called norwood and sanchez cowards and said they seem to

have no remorse. >> it was obvious he was incapacitated. they continued to kick him and hit him on the head. that told me and i can only reach one conclusion that you are complete cowards. even now with your smirks, i am talking about mr. sanchez and not mr. norwood. no remorse whatsoever to the family here. that is something that is unfortunate. >> sanchez was sentenced to eight years and norwood got four. >> a new york woman and her two young daughters butchered and stabbed to death by her husband. she knew he would do it. unbelievably her statement to the nypd was ignored. why? it was written in spanish and it appears no one at the police station thought to have it translated. maria santana talks about what

happened. >> it was a horrific scene, daisy garcia and her two daughters found stabbed to death in her new york city apartment allegedly at the hands of her husband. now there is information that not speaking english may have been the guatemalan's death sentence. garcia filed a report saying her husband assaulted her and she feared for her life. that support sat untranslated. >> translator: she was crying and called the police and said her husband threatened to kill her. >> it was not the only one garcia reported. she again called police and filed a spanish language complaint saying my husband assaulted me. he pulled my hair and kick mead twice. he threatened to take my kids away. the in nypd did not say whether

it was translated. two months later she and her daughter were dead. >> if they gave it more importance maybe they would have figured out what to do. they would have investigated him. they left the report there as if it was worthless. >> garcia's husband confessed to killing his wife in a fit of jealous rage. he said he then hug and kissed his daughters, asked for their forgiveness and stabbed each girl multiple times. >> i guess the investigation was done to determine that this person had to be arrested. what we know is no one actually translated the text. >> the family believes she and her daughters would still be alive if the police had taken action. >> my daughter may be dead and can't do anything in this case, but i want justice.

doing the other cases in which it happened as well. >> unfortunately advocates say this is not the first time something like this happened. two months before garcia was killed. the violence intervention program filed a lawsuit against the city of new york on behalf of six other hispanic domestic violence vehicles who claimed they were denied adequate translation service that. case is still pending, but in daisy's case, they said after an internal review, a memo would be circulated to all of the officers, reminding them that domestic violence reports must be translated. the garcia family attorney believes that this is just another case of someone who fell through the cracks and the system failed. as a result they ended up losing this young mother and her two beautiful daughters. >> thank you very much. from new york. coming up, it is the platform on which chris christie shines.

the town hall format. these days amid a scandal it could be risky taking questions. we will show you what happened today. it is one of the front-runners to win best pictures and 12 years a slave is making a public last monday witch and this is an awesome story. a guy gets rejected for a job at facebook. facebook buys his idea for a cool $19 billion. his story is ahead.

perhaps even at a points his presidential aspirations. he is great at these. he will tweak his own voters if they rub him the wrong way, but no need for that today. not a single question on the bridge gate scandal. he did take a question about his favorite rocker. a jersey guy who performed that spoof and that scandal. >> when you go home tonight, you want to make sure he is not there. when you go home today, lock at your bruce springsteen cds. he is not a friend of yours, governor. the boss aside, we bring in john

king. the chief correspondent. everyone was listening for a question on bridge gate. not uttered a single time. are you surprised by that? >> a little bit. remember it's a controlled event and remember how important sandy relief aid is. that's what they want to talk about, efforts to continue to fight. he didn't escape it completely. robert costa of the "washington post" is there and he asked on the way out if he was surprised and he said governor christie gleared at him and said the people want to talk about real issues. it came up on the way out, but he will take solace thinking one of the big questions is going to

be such a cloud over his head that never mind running for president that he can't get his state business done and he left the room feeling good about that. >> let's talk politics because we can. i know we are a ways away, but talking about christie and taking on hillary clinton. this is just out. you see that the differential here, clinton way ahead of chris christie and mr. magic wall, what do we watch every four years. chris christie has this working class appeal that is supposed to work in states like ohio. should he worry? >> a little bit, but not a lot. we are having this conversation and no republican beats hillary clinton in that poll. here's one reason he should worry. before the bridge gate controversy, he was running ahead of hillary clinton. some people say that as proof that he's damaged.

his momentum has been stalled by the investigation. that's reaffirming and not any breaking news. or you can look at it the other way. february 2014, don't put a lot of stock in it, but hillary clinton is under 50%. she just cracks 50% against the other republicans. if you are a republican looking at this, you can say we are in a circular firing quad over the debt ceiling and over immigration. our party can't get its act together. if we get our act together, she is gettable. you can look at it that way. i wouldn't spend too much time on 2016 polls. >> not yet. thank you very much. in washington. coming up, have you heard of this. it's called what's app. facebook paid $19 billion for this and one of the creators applied for a job at facebook a couple years ago and they said nope. his amazing come back story ahead. the oscars ten days away for

best picture. have you seen this? one movie making a public push. rolling over. that's next. "that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." "that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." what will your verse be?

. >> the oscars are on. "12 years a slave" is pushing the message to academy voters with this massive billboard ad. take a look for yourself. it heads two simple words. it's time. it hangs on the studio lot for 20th century fox in southern

california. that movie scored nine nominations. another, wolf of wall street has a campaign and getting sidelined by potentially negative press. there was a defamation lawsuit and when the film came out, many criticized it as too polarizing and excessive. wolf of wall street, five nominations. both good and bad in the run up to the oscars is nothing new, but how much of an impact will it have over ten days. that's the question. editor christa smith joins me now, thanks for being on. >> let's get to the billboard. it's time. it's time for what? >> i think the point is to remind everybody that this was an excellent film. it came out a while ago.

a lot of people resisted seeing it because they feel like it's going to be too upsetting. basically they are saying it's time. see the movie. i love this film. it's one of the best films i have seen in ten years. for me it was the first time i saw what slavery was. it was so moving. performances are incredible across the board. that's exactly what they are doing. this movie may have come out in october, but we are nominated. they have best actor and supporting actor and director. best picture. i think sometimes we get distracted by the other more commercial films. >> do you think it's more of a symbolic message. it's time we win? haven't the films been voted on? >> voting is open. it started last weekend. it closes the week of the 25th.

it's coming up. people are definitely voting and i heard a lot of chatter about who do you think is going to win and i'm not sure who i am voting for. it is a tight race across the board. >> let's talk about that. continuing to chatter and your oscar special airing tonight on cnn. the nominees are. you got to sit down with four nominees including "12 years a slave" and wolf of wall street's jonah hill. here's an example. >> kate came to me. she gave me a kiss and said she would like my work. that was a shock. >> i would call different businesses. i would call best buys and targets. i couldn't go in and be done. if someone recognized me, it

would be embarrassing. i would call them especially in hawaii. their customer service was amazing. i spoke for like an hour and a half. >> that's what i want to talk about. wolf of wall street. i finally saw it and i was entertained every second. i know the press has been saying it's crude. there is like 544 f bombs dropped, but do you think that's a strong contender? >> i think that best picture for me is more between gravity and "12 years a slave." it got nominations. a lot of best actor and best supporting actors you saw for jonah hill and scorcese for best director and best picture. anything can happen. i as well as you were very entertain and i was blown away. leo, i always expect him to be great. >> he's amazing. >> great in everything. >> jonah hill i have to say is

one of my favorites. he just crushes in this part. >> i can't wait to see more of him. in in general and in movies. christa smith, i look forward to watching and we will be watching the on one you had with all these stars. hear with amy adams and more of what will be there. 10:00 eastern tonight. cnn spotlight and the nominees are. thank you very much. coming up, facebook drops a cool $19 billion on something that is called what's app. it's a popular messaging service, but is it worth $19 billion? the guy who invented this used to be on food stamps and now he's doing pretty well for himself. his story is coming up. also ahead, protesters in ukraine facing bullets from snipers. more than 100 people killed so far in these violent clashes and with that number rising, news that the u.s. is prepared to

with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar.

the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need, ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans. well, did you know that just one sheet of bounce outdoor fresh gives you more freshness than two sheets of the leading national store brand? who knew? so, how do you get your bounce? with more freshness in a single sheet. . >> just about the bottom of the hour. i'm brooke baldwin. a warping some of the pictures you are about to see are graphic. it illustrates the standoff out on the streets of the ukraine. now this made its way to president obama's desk.

sources telling cnn that u.s. officials are fast tracking sanctions and this would be an asset freeze on parts of the government. the goal is this. to get the police to get the security forces to end scenes like this. and like this. and the need to deescalate the violence. look at these pictures. just being dragged. scattered through a once peaceful city. at least 100 people are reported dead. the fiery collapse of a truce in kiev's independence square. just for perspective's sake, take a look at this. this is the picture. photo shopped tolg before as you can see and the after on the right. that is circulating websites right now. all this because the president backed out of this deal with the ue and instead choosing closer ties to russia. now russia while telling the west to butt out is sending

their own envoy to broker peace talks. following all of this for us, we are hearing these reports about police being taken hostages. others were hearing or defecting to the protesters. me what you are seeing. >> we are not seeing many. we are hearing them and a number of them are taken hostage. no evidence or details. part of a wave of rhetoric from security forces. they are they are protecting themselves and protecting their families. the military saying they will take up arms to stop the country from falling into a civil war. real concerns that even though they have been on the back since the bloodshed of this morning, they may move in at some point escalating the situation. i should warn you in images

which you are about to see from the graphic. here's a report of the bloodshed. dead, wounded. gathered inside the lobby under the sheets. head wounds and most hit by bullets. they are dead. the number rising. with disbelief and rage. outside this makeshift morgue lies fire. the president agreed on i truce and something changed. police suddenly withdrew and moved forward. it's unclear why. this man said he fired a shotgun at police, once protested to be fired upon by a sniper. he didn't want his face shown. this man said protesters caused them to surge forward. opposition leaders blamed the provocation in the debris of

what was once peaceful protest shotgun pellets and tips of live rounds. police and protesters face-to-face. they feared escalation was ahead. are you ready they ask a young man? he may not be. ukraine may not be. what comes next? so brooke, here we are. the bramlames the opposition. they are trying to hamper resources and protesters gathering mind me and the barricades and a fear of what lies ahead. >> we will stay in close contact with you. thank you so much. >> two of the big tech headlines of the day. you are hearing what's ap, how

can this company be worth $19 billion. $19 billion is how much facebook is paying for the ap that allows users to text photos and messages and videos for free. the first year. they charge a single dollar every year after that. this is worth more than brand names that are household names. look at this. ralph lauren and founded by two guys, one of whom used to be on food stashes. laurie segal joins me now and first to the $19 billion figure. why so much? >> unbelievable. when you look at it and dig in, you begin to understand facebook. it's a big numbers game. 450 million monthly users who are signing on a million every month. here we haven't heard about it that much.

you go overseas and a lot of people replaced sms with what's app. he said i want to connect the world, that's mark zuckerberg's religion. this is a big step. >> i never heard of it, but people say you don't know what's app? applied for a job at facebook. >> the two cofounders are fascinating. yon coombe immigrated here from ukraine. he was living on food stamps with no money and could barely speak english and really represents the silicon valley dream. he went on to work at yahoo and later he ended upstarting what's app. i just got information from a source close to the deal that is inspiring. he went inside to mark zuckerberg's house on valentine's day when he decided he wanted the deal to go through. they drew up the papers and he

went to the same welfare place he used to go to with his mom who has passed away to sign the papers and he was tearing up as he signed the papers. pretty unbelievable. when you look at the cofounder at yahoo, he said facebook turned me down. it was a great opportunity to connect with active people. he clearly found it. let's take it a step further. he got denied by twitter. he tweeted got denied by twitter. that's okay. would have been a long commute. obviously this is a big win and very emotional. when you look at silicon valley and the wins, this is huge for these guys. >> it's amazing. doors close and never know. the door opens. the $19 billion door. coming up, a wolf? in sochi?

senior medical correspondent went to west virginia and she is there. she asked the head of the health department why he is avoying the tap water in his own office. >> officially this water is supposed to be just fine. but look what this woman said happened to her when she washed her face. when this boy bathed and when this man's wife takes a shower. >> within a couple of minutes i will have a headache. >> they are not alone. after the chemical spill they lifted a water ban saying the chemical was at low levels. new data from west virginia shows when people started drinking and bathing again, visits to emergency rooms and doctor's offices shot up. people saying the water made them sick. rashes headaches, vomiting and even at the county health department they posted these signs, don't drink the water. >> this is the county health

department. the water is okay to drink. all the official agents say it's okay. >> they say it's okay to drink. they are not saying it's to drink. it's important to make that distinction. we have got to make sure the water is safe. that's really the work here. people are looking for that. >> indeed the word safe is nowhere in the guidance for the centers for disease control. the c d.c. said based on animal studies, they calculated levels a person could likely ingest without resulting in adverse health effects. that's not good enough for the doctor who is the head of health. >> dr. gupta said in some places like his house, you can smell the chemical. it hasn't disappeared. >> is your wife drinking the tap water? >> she is not. >> the governor asked the cdc to do more testing. they have not continued

monitoring health problems there. >> it seems to be over from a lot of people's perspective at state and federal levels. on the ground when we talk to people and deal with everyday people, the event is not over by any means. they are continuing to suffer and have issues. >> with no studies on this chemical's effect on humans, some residents are not taking chances. in a recent survey, only 4% of people said they are drinking tap water, water that officially is fine to drink. >> and in charleston, elizabeth cohen. you bring up the cdc in your piece. what will it take for them to say this water is safe? >> brooke, safe is not a technical word. they take a leap of faith to say it's safe. they are saying look, it's unlikely to cause adverse health effects at this level. safe is a beat of a relief.

i'm not sure that they are going to do it. we will have to see. >> okay. elizabeth cohen. thank you very much. coming up here on cnn, a family's tragic loss. their son died of a heroin overdose. his parents say the death could have been prevented. now the parents are speaking to me. they are taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. they are joining me in studio with what they are trying to accomplish here in georgia, coming up next.

. actor phillip seymour hoffman's overdose was a wake up call for a lot of people. did you know how easy it is to get in this is from 2012, a national survey on dug use and health, charting the rise in abuse. even though they could have been saved. most drug overdoses happened when you were around friends or acquaintances. no one calls for help. they are afraid for being arrested for drug possession. that is what happened with one young man. steven was a week shy of his 21st birthday when he overdosed on heroin. i hate meeting you under the

circumstances, but you are so passionate about this and sorry about the loss of your son, but let's get to the legislation. i know you are heading to the state capitol after you are with us. we will get to the legislation. first, steven. >> steven was an awesome kid. he had such a bright future. he was an eagle scout and he like his brother had a lifelong desire to serve in the military. he went junior rotc through all of high school and became a member of the american revolution as a result of his eagle scout project. great kid. bright future. >> he like a lot of kids, teenagers, he had friends that we never knew. he never brought them around the house. he was very private about his

friends and there were signs that we know how that we didn't know then when they child gets with drawn and doesn't want their friends around. it's like a wake up call, a big red flag. cell phones didn't help either. nowadays with the way people can communicate with texting and things like that, it's hard for parents to keep up with who they are talking to. when i was a kid, you had to use the house phone. >> the land line. it's changed. so he's with the friends. >> he made the deeply regrettable choice to try heroin. he was in a car with two other people. a driver and another passenger. he started to suffer the respiratory failure that results with an overdose. they drove around with him and didn't know what to do.

>> they knew something was wrong and didn't want to take him to the hospital. they were worried. that's why you are here and why you are fighting a couple blocks away at the state capital. what do you want? >> just so you know, this 911 medical amnesty bill is not a get out of jail free card. that's not what this is about. >> there is criticism. if friends or acquaintances want to take someone in the throws of an overdose, they can drop them at the hospital and they won't get in trouble. the criticism is this will protect drug dealers. >> in the bill we have proposed -- >> we worked closely with the association to make sure they can go after the bad guys. we want them to go after the bad guys. these young individuals are with him and were -- they may have been first time users and they had limited quantities and the bill is very specific as to the quantities that they can have.

this is not just for a heroin overdose victim. think about the senior citizens who have pain medication. they may injust more than they should have. forget they took a dose. our wounded veterans may forget. there two bills. the 911 medical amnesty bill which is house bill 965. that gives amnesty to those who seek medical attention from someone who is overdosing. the second bill is house bill 966. it makes it the antidote widely available. it can be administered in other states, in 16 other states, lay people and first responders can administer it. here they have to go to the hospital. when the young people finally went to a home or someone with enough sense to call 911, and the first responders came, by

the time they got him to the hospital, he was dead-on arrival. had they been carrying it, they could have administered it as a natal spray and instandpoitly reversed the effects. >> i see it on your faces. you want this to never happen to another family. can i speak to other parents who maybe think their child could be dabbling. what's your message? >> go to georgiaoverdoseprevention.org and you can read the bills and contact the legislator. that's the most important thing. they want to hear from constituents. once we get the bills passed. our mission is to educate every young person we can. >> pay attention to how your kids are acting. when they start to act with drawn, if they are sad all the time and don't want to talk and

all they want to do is be with their friend that you don't get to meet, those are the biggest warning signs. that's pretty much. watch the cell phones and text messages. they are bad. >> they shouldn't have to choose between going to jail and saving our son's life or going through it. >> i know you are going to the house. we will follow you and see if this becomes law. >> thank you very much. >> i'm so sorry about steven. >> he was a good kid. >> i'm sure he was. thank you. we do have breaking news. involving a former nfl star and analyst. we are getting word he is accused of raping and drugging multiple women. that's next.

. two breaking news stories. let me begin with what we learned with the olympics. here's what we learned. the u.s. women's hockey team battled for gold today in overtime against canada and just a short time ago, canada beat the u.s. in overtime. cnn sports rushed up here and got miked in the knick of time. we just learned about this sports news. my guest producer got in my ear and is very thrilled. team usa. >> i'm trying to catch my breath here. i literally did rush in and this was a game that was heart pounding. taken down. we thought it was going to be a

penalty shot. it did get a penalty anyway. canada managed to score the winning goal in overtime. >> ladies u srksa lost. >> it's t set the bar for the men's rivalry that we will see tomorrow. that's also between canada and the usa. we are expecting big things from this game as well. these are two teams where a lot of people say usa is the favorite. even though canada is the defending gold medalist from the vancouver games. >> high stakes. >> we will be having another conversation tomorrow. breath, breath. thank you so much. the other breaking story is former nfl star, darren sharper accused of raping and drugging multiple women. he played for the saints and the

packers and the vikings. they suspended him as an analyst. he is in los angeles for him and darren sharper, give me the back story. >> i'm in the los angeles county courthouse. he was charged with two separate incidents here in which and he sexually assaulted two women on two separate occasions. the other investigation other bets were made. no formal charges have been filed, he is allegedly involved in other incidents in new orleans, tempe, arizona, and nevada. bringing the total to possible alleged victims of him to seven possible sexual assaults. and 11 possible driving including male who for lack of a better term was with the group in las vegas.

i tried to contact his attorney and not received word back from him. he goes in court here in los angeles. they are asking for his bail to be increased to a whopping $10 million. saying that the public safety is at risk. because of the seriousness of these crimes and because of all these other investigations involving him. let us know if that does go up. >> moving along on top of the next hour. we want to begin with the exclusive interview with juror number eight in the loud music murder trial. this is the first time this woman is speaking since she and 11 others convicted michael dun of attempted second-degree murder. the back story on this case, dunn fired his nine millimeter into this suv full of teenagers

in november of 2o 12 back with the argument over their loud music. he was not convicted in davis's death. he heard from juror number four yesterday. she said dun got away with murder and now juror number eight has something to say as well. she just talked to our correspondent. me what she told you. >> brooke, juror number eight is just 21 years old. she was also the youngest juror on this panel. we spent about an hour talking about everything. we talked about the case and the partial verdicts and even about the community reaction that followed those verdicts specifically about race and whether race played a role in the case or in the jury deliberations. take a listen to what she had to say about that. >> i never once thought about

this was a black girl or a white girl. that wasn't the case. >> people say that was a white guy who got away with shooting and killing a black kid. >> i would say they really should knowledge themselves on the law. >> if this was not about race, what was it about for you? >> it was about justice. >> justice? >> when i walked into it, i wanted to bring justice to whoever it was. if it was michael dun, i wanted to bring justice to him. he and jordan. i wanted to bring justice to them. >> now miles told me she believes that michael dun was guilty of second-degree murder for shooting and killing jordan davis, but because this jury can't reach a unanimous verdict

on the murder charge, she thought they did the right thing by coming back with a partial verdict. she hopes the jury if there is a next jury, she hopes they will be able to reach an agreement on that charge. brooke? >> that's what they are calling for. thank you very much. in florida with that interview. by the way, i want you to watch that entire interview with juror number 8 tonight at 8:00 on "ac 360." i want to continue the conversation with the 21-year-old woman sunny hostin and criminal defense attorney. i was writing notes listening to the woman that she never thought about race. what do you think about that? >> right. race certainly was excluded from the courtroom. the defense filed a motion to exclude any mention of race. that issue in particular was not necessarily before that.

i think what she is saying makes sense. what doesn't make sense to me is that race was very much an issue, i think, in michael dunn feeling threatened by jordan davis. it was the elephant in the room. he was using code words like thug and like rap crack saying these kids looked menacing. to suggest that race is not a part of the judicial system and wasn't a part of the trial, i think it's a bit naive. i remember looking at her throughout the case and there were two african-american jurors on the panel. she was one of those that seemed to be engaged through all of the testimony. i'm interested in hearing the rest of what she had to say tonight. >> me too on "ac 360." she wanted justice. whoever or however that justice would come about. your reaction?

>> i like what she said about wanting justice. it sounds like her heart is pure in that respect. our criticism relates not to the jurors, but it relates directly to angela in that office. there is an old expression, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. this is the same office that botched the zimmerman prosecution and wharregardless what you think of the out come, that trial was characterized by a lack of preparation and disorganization. >> let me jump in. let me play this out. angela talked to chris cuomo by this rotation of overcharging. take a listen. >> they're department have a problem with the same premedicated instruction on attempted murder on the other three counts. i don't see how the premeditation could have

hindered jury. this jury got a lot of time to deliberate and we believe they did the best they could considering florida's affirmative defense of justifiable use of deadly force. we will not find fault with what the jury did. no matter how many people encourage us and shift the fault to us. >> i want to hear from you. you disagree with him. >> we know after speaking with the jurors that six of them voted in favor of first-degree murder. to suggest that there wasn't enough evidence for the government to charge on first-degree murder is ridiculous. it's ludicrous. the other thing we need to remember is that this prosecution team i thought was very prepared and thorough. there is self defense and stand your ground there. the blame is on the law and not on the jury and the prosecution. there was no overcharging here.

>> check this out. i don't think anything was overcharged. my problem is that we have in the gun case, the prosecution case about 445 days's notice that michael dun was going to be on the witness stand. he department have to take the stand, in this case everybody knew he had to take the stand. that cross-examination of michael dunn was meandering. you serious? >> a waking nightmare. it became a drinking game on college campuses because michael dunn got to control the narrative. >> darren, you know. anyone knows when you have the defendant on the witness stand, you are never going to get that moment that tom cruz got with jack nicholson.

that is not going to happen. when you are doing these types of cross-examinations, you do allow the defendant to talk and allow the defendant to contradict. that was smart and effective and we know it was effective. right after he got off the witness stand, his fiance contra addicted everything he said and the one juror said that was a changing point for her and the rest of the jury. to suggest that the prosecution did a bad job in cross examining the defendant, it's completely misguid misguided. the prosecution got 4:5 of the win and that doesn't mean they did a good job.

>> thank you. both of you. love those perspectives. love you both very much. >> from the sochi winter games. back in the home country of ukraine. 24-year-old alpine skier. refusing to ski tomorrow in the women's slalom. her best events at the olympics. she is explaining her decision. >> my friends are there. close friends of mine. to go on the start line when people are dying and the authorities broke the main rule of the olympic competition which is peace, i simply cannot do it. >> her father who serves as a coach withdrew from the games with her. they held a moment of silence to fellow citizens under way in kiev. more than 40 athletes are representing ukraine at the sochi winter games.

some had competed and left them to return home. what they were returning to is confusion and bloodshed. >> let me explain these pictures to you. they are believed to be armed forces firing on civilian protesters. although cnn can't confirm that for you. we are also hearing that many of the police, look at them. they were once violently fighting against the protesters are being taken hostage. these are showing them being escorted while others are believed to be defecting boy choice. a very, very short truce broken overnight, bringing the deadliest day ukraine has seen in the government protests. at least 100 killed. in washington, d.c., sources tell us that u.s. official are fast tracking attentions and

getting their homes rebuilt after hurricane sandy. in fact even less concerned about bridge gate today than the governors's favorite rocker who spoofed him over the scandal. >> when you go home tonight, accident you want to look around and make sure he is not in the room. would you destroy all your bruce springsteen cds. he's not a friend of yours. >> he said nope, i will give up on the boss. the only real statement is right here. his resignation with me now from washington. everyone was listening for some kind of question. some kind of mention. nothing. are you surprised? >> it's very surprising. yes and no. it's surprising on the national level because this is dominating the headlines now for a month

and a half. at the same time it's a reminder that all politics, the governors and the leader of the state that is still recovering for sandy. an issue that is a sign that is the blessing and the curse. you are responsible when the agencies mess up. there times to shine. certainly governor christie excelled at that. >> huh the issue of hurricane sandy. you have this scandal. it's been a while since we talked about bridge gate. there is this report that a cop, this guy right here, supposedly an old friend drove the former christie aide that ordered the lane closures through the being traffic jams. could you just bring up -- bring us up to speed on where we stand with the scandal and the different investigations.

>> there multiple investigations and the u.s. attorney's office is conducting the investigation. you have the legislative investigation being run out of the joint committee in the state senate. that is preceding. you have all these subpoenas still out and the information is being processed in e-mails and phone records and text messages like we saw last month that started this again in the public media all over again. pay put the pressure on the spotlight. all that could happen shortly again when the next round of the subpoenas. >> zeke miller, "time" magazine, thank you again for joining. coming up here, a star is facing charges for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. now a video showing him dragging her out of an elevator. we have the video. we will play it for you next and explain how it could impact his case.

. nfl player ray rice and his fiance got into an argument. they were both arrested. now newly surfaced video triggers questions about what happened between rice and his fiance. tmz got their hands on the video. here it is. rice's attorney confirms it is his client that we are looking at here in the video. rice, a running back gets out of the elevator here and then the woman on the ground, this is his

fiance. jenay palmer appears unconscious. he pulls her nearly all the way out of the elevator and sees the man approaching. rice talks to the man and tries here. he is trying to pick her up. the video is showing palmer apparently coming to, lifting her head on her own. let's go now and you just talked to rice's attorney and what did he tell you about the video? >> he is saying in the video we are not seeing the full picture. he entered a plea of not guilty and he went on to me, i can't try the case in the media. there a set of facts that the public doesn't know about yet. he believes the public will have a different opinion. that's ray rice's attorney. what is going on? they released this video that is from the casino in atlantic city on february 15th.

ray rice is there and a seemingly unconscious fiance jenay palmer. what we have not been able to conferm is when the video was taken in relationship to the incident. they charged both rice and palmer with assault. at the casino she hit him with her hand. he hit her with his hand. both received a court summons. no date is set yet. atlantic city police asked the prosecutor's office to investigate to ensure that the changes are considered. we should point out that we have not been able to reach palmer. they say we are aware of this friday night situation with ray rice and his fiance. they returned home together. we have seen the video. this is a serious matter is and we are currently gathering more information.

certainly no indication that this would have an impact on the status of the team. clearly they are following it. >> the children of dr. martin luther king in the battle over the late father's precious belongings. we learned back in 2007, king's daughter bernice has been able to sell only the court can access. >> they are in a safe deposit

box owned by the state and the court will keep the key. the other question is now that we confirmed that brothers, dexter and martin iii want to sell them, it's to whom. a 2007 e-mail from bernice king to dexter king. it was potentially going to be sold to the national center for civil and human rights. right here in atlanta. we called the center and the attorneys for the estate will not confirm that it's the ncaa. however we know that the attorneys have said several times that this is very time sensitive. it is scheduled to open in may. by possibly needing these to launch this new exhibit, we have not confirmed that that is the entity. >> did you say you had a reaction from bernice king? >> we did. there was a news conference

where she was saying it's about principal. let's listen to that and we will have the response. are. >> it's about a righteous cause. it's not about another sibling rivalry. it's about standing on principal. it's important that i am on the right side of history. when the record books are written, there was at least one end. there were many things she was willing to sell, including the wagon that carried her father's casket the day he was buried. the pen that president johnson gave dr. king after he signed the civil rights act in 1964, dr. king's key to the motel where he was assassinated, even the wallet that was in his pocket when he was assassinated with nine pictures of the children and correta scott king. she was willing to part with those, but not the bible and not

the medal. we have this response from bernice king. we will read a couple of sentence. as i look towards the future of the king center, i would not support the sale of most of the memorability listed in the 2007 e-mail. she goes on to say i have and always will object to the sale of the nobel peace prize. i believe the sale of the items is sacrilegious of my father's legacy. the fighting continues. >> it's just sad with all of this fighting. we now have news here at cnn about the deaths of two former navy s.e.a.l.s on board this ship in alabama. traces of narcotics and hypodermic needles have been found next to their bodies in a ship cabin. this suggests that both of these men died of a drug overdose. the ship name sounds familiar, it should. this was targeted by somali

not ruin what's app. they are buying it for $19 billion. they give free or almost free texting and it's $19 billion price tag means it's worth more than these household grands. we wanted to put them into perspective. mattel, campbell's and that doesn't match what's ap. is it worth it? good question. some say it is 400 million plus way more. the founders are very, very rich when their beginnings were humble beyond who he used to be on food stamps. there was this 2009 tweet from the other founder on facebook who turned me down. it was a great opportunity to connect with fantastic people looking forward to life's next

adventure. looks like the senior tech analyst. welcome. >> nice to see you. >> $19 billion. you are really worth that? >> that's a lot of money. some are worth way less than what this is valued at. what's also a lot is 450 million active users. we will say that again. 450 million active users for a service that a ton of people in the audience have probably never heard of. i think for facebook as a company that is wanting to get a foothold where people are communicating and having access to that many users and the most popular instant messaging service on mobile is probably a good investment. >> i feel like i'm decently hip to the twitters and the web, but i never heard of this. was it google who tried to buy

what's app? >> that's what the rumor was. they turned it down and facebook came back with the package of 19 billion plus on the board for one of the founders. clearly a lot of people who were watching the space have known this was the company to watch. it's a small company and as we are talking about, it's a humongous user base. that's powerful when you talk about how to reach the emerging markets moving forward. >> with all the users and the active users. facebook loving that. thank you so much. coming up next, the hit show that shows us the under belly. it is my favorite tv show for sure. kevin spacey plays and the spoiler alert, vice president of the u.s. i tried and couldn't book kevin spacey. i am going to give you the next best thing.

i thought we were going to see him. he is probably getting seated. my sources tell me tapper has got an impersonation and we will make him do that. that's next. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

. coming up next, you know what it is. the lead with jake tapper. here he is. the chief washington correspondent. i know we are going to have fun in a minute. stand by. let's talk about our colleague on capitol hill. the interview with ted from texas, making all kinds of news already. senator cruz telling what he thought about rocker ted nugent. calling president obama a subhuman hmong rel.

>> i don't agree with him. you never heard me say such a thing nor will i. there is a reason people listen to ted nugent. he has been fighting for second amendment rights. >> would you campaign with him? >> i haven't yet and i have been avoiding engaging in hypotheticals. >> that was a non-answer answer. he said he hasn't campaigned yet with him. do you think he would? >> it's hard to say. ted nugent, there is a reason why people in states like texas campaign with him. he driveways up the base and does rally and feed raw meat to conservatives. i have to say, it doesn't seem like it's that difficult to say that calling a biracial president of the united states a subhuman hmong rel is a racist and insane thing to say and should be condemned. i don't understand why politicians whether on the right or the left have difficulty not

just saying that's something i would never say, but saying that's a vile sentiment? i guess they are afraid of alienating racists? i can't explain that myself. >> right. perhaps. i don't know. politics can be ugly and that's what we see on netflix. the favorite thing on tv. house of cars. the beginning of season two. for those people, i know you love the show. before we do this -- >> very fun show. >> i don't want to hear. >> no spoilers. >> can we play if people haven't seen. frank underwood and actually by kevin spacey. the prototypical politician. >> it's not real estate. it's all about location, location, location. the closer you are to the source. the higher property value. you ready for this?

>> ready for what? >> i hear that you have an awesome frank underwood impression. >> you know, i don't know that it would be appropriate for a news anchor to do an impression of a television character. >> yes, it is. yes, it is. >> can you believe she would ask me to do this on national television after all i would rather be eating some ribs somewhere. >> i will see your impression and one up you. jake tapper, friends make the worst enemies, my friends. being so clever on the lead. think again. >> that was your impression? >> that was mine. it was pretty good. >> i had a camera cut. a whole thing. >> someone was not paying attention. i went from three to two to three. don't talk to me any more about

the show. i'm excited to get going. >> i will not support any spoilers. that's horrible. i don't know why. >> it's horrible. i hear the clicking of people. >> it's honestly the only thing -- this is something i do to annoy my staff. >> your poor staff. that's in ten minutes. thank you very much. now to the art history professor after she sent this letter to president obama for making these remarks last month about her profession. >> a lot of young people no longer see the trades and skilled manufacturing as a viable career, but i promise you, folks can make a lot more potentially with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree. now nothing wrong with art history. i love art history.

i don't want to get a bunch of e-mails from everybody. >> that didn't stop professor ann johns from giving the president a piece of her mind. and she said, quote, we work really hard on teaching students who come in and take an art history survey class how to think, read, and write critically because that's what you do with art. it's not just looking at a pretty picture. so now for ta surprise. president obama took out his pen and wrote an apology to her. he said, "let me apologize for my off-the-cuff remark. it was signed, barack obama. and i have processor ann johns on the phone. i heard you weren't watching tv when he said that but once you saw it, there were people who said, yeah, i'm going to write a letter. you actually did. why? >> well, i actually heard about

this first not on tv but in some of my professional listservs and i decided, well, this is great, talking and thinking about it but maybe i'll just write a letter to the white house. maybe every couple of months i write a letter to a politician. so i did, and of course i didn't save it because you go to the white house website and you type it in and it goes into the -- and it's gone. and about 12 days later i got -- actually, i got an e-mail with a pdf of the note. >> and when you saw that, what were you thinking? >> well, i think i wasn't even thinking for about five minutes. i just didn't -- i sat and stared at it because whoever thinks in a million years they are going to get a personal note from the president of the united states. and i thought it was a very gracious note. i'm very pleased with it. and i just got the real one today. >> the real one, that's the

picture we've been sharing. you shared it with us and we shared it with everyone. i read that you weren't even sure i wanted to go public with this apology from the president. how come? >> well, i don't need to tell you about the media. >> what? >> so i thought, well, i'm not really sure if i should do anything. and then i thought i'd like my students to know about it and including my past students and former students and one way i connect with them is like everybody else, through facebook. so i posted it and it made its way to a -- maybe not so little little now after this, a little art blog in new york and it just rolled from there. so -- but i think that i have, of course, gotten a wide range of responses from people. some crazy responses just flat out crazy. >> well, that happens. that happens. >> yes. again, i'm sure you know. but the response from my students, both present and past

has been overwhelmingly positive. they feel really happy to have the president sort of vindicate their studies, their career choice, and it's been just a wonderful talking point for us. >> yeah. >> in the discipline. >> my best, best friend was a art history minor and she swears by it. she sees history through different eyes from art. ann johns, thank you and good luck. thank you for sharing it. >> i will. bizarre behavior from a young hollywood star. remember this whole stunt, wearing a paper bag on his head? and another star is coming to his defense. who could that be? that's next. your eyes really are unique.

27-year-old actor sh shia labeouf has had a couple of hiccups recently. there's the infamous walk with the paper bag on the red carpet. i don't know what is going on there. but on the bag it says, "i am not famous anymore." that same day, this awkward moment happened at a press conference. >> when the seagulls follow the
