2:00 pm
next to on the trainer. in an elevator with co-workers say hello to them. it could lead to a million little things like a happier and healthier life. that's going to wrap things up. stay connected with me at cnn.com. let's keep the conversation going on twitter. time now to get you back to the "cnn newsroom" with don lemon. you're in the cnn newsroom. thank you for joining us. he's been named public enemy number one by a u.s. crime fighting group, but now el chapo is in police custody. a legendary boss of mexican's biggest drug cartel and it's taken police 13 hours to catch him after he escaped the first time. this video is from his arrest
2:01 pm
earlier today. it took weeks of planning involving agencies in the u.s. and mexico. he's still wanted in the u.s. on multiple drug charges. a former d.e.a. worker says this arrest is huge. but if he's not extradited soon, he could escape again. he's only 5'6". the next few hours could be crucial for ukraine. the nation's president may be on the run and we're tracking huge developments in the power struggle for a nation once part of the old soviet union. their president says he is not resigning, but cnn confirmed that he tried to leave the country by plane but was turned back by security forces. parliament voted to hold new elections in may. protesters appear to have taken control of the president's home in kiev. also the nation's revolutionary hero, a former prime minister, was released from prison. she told a crowd in independent
2:02 pm
square, ukraine has finished with this dictator. i want to go to nick paton walsh in kiev. what do you know about the president's whereabouts? >> reporter: we know he released a video statement calling what happened a cue and saying that laws are being passed to take him out of power. we don't have a guarantee of where he physically is. there are suggestions in the immediate kra that he may have tried to leave the country. that may be possible. i have to say he looks out of the picture now really. there are no signs of security forces here. we drove around a lot today and saw one police car. they seem to have moved back. protesters are now running the streets here. often with some of the sticks and helmets, running their own local militia and parliament is moving full steam ahead to introduce their new series of leaders here. now they have just called for a new election in may for a new
2:03 pm
president and said that he isn't doing his job and therefore is out of a job. we don't know how legal that is. plus appointing a new series of ministers and saying the speaker will fill the job of the duties of the president until those elections. so it seems like the opposition have swept in and used their new powers on the deal that was signed yesterday with european diplomats to make a host of changes here and render their president irrelevant. it's going to be tough for him to come back from this. another question is where do we go from here? we had the former prime minister in jail for corruption allegations that america thinks r were political motivated, who was abused in jail, went on a hunger strike. she's emerged from jail looking frail. i have to say a lot of people in the crowd remember her long history in ukrainian politics. she's not a saint at all to many
2:04 pm
of these people, but she did cast herself as someone looking for forgiveness, trying to suggest that a new future could be ahead and perhaps staking a claim for herself in that future as well saying that you people in the crowd will get no ukraine but the ukraine that you want. and i'm the guarantor of that new ukraine. an interesting speech where she was emotional and talked about the blood of those who have died. she was repentant for the decade she's been in politics here and the way that ukraine has functioned. it's been a fuel for the protests and the business elite looking after themselves. and then try to say she might be the person who could take the country forward. >> nick paton walsh, thank you for that. a desperate search ends in tragedy in rome. an american student has been found dead inside a railroad tunnel days after he disappeared. he was taking part in a semester-long study abroad
2:05 pm
program through trinity college in connecticut. he went to a bar with a group of friends and never returned. police say his body had been run over by a train. but they are investigating how he died. the college junior was a linebacker on the football taem. his coach called him an inspiration to his teammates. an online child pornography website has finally been busted. 36 people have been arrested and charged around the country including the alleged creator of the website. rosa flores joins us now. tell us about how this operation was run. >> it was run out of his home in louisiana, which is about 45 minutes just north of new orleans. here's what we know about this guy. jonathan johnson, 27 years of age, court documents reveal that he had two websites and had two types of users on these websites. he had members and uploaders. all of them could do about the same thing except for this.
2:06 pm
uploaders could also upload videos. and with that came a few other things. encouraging them to go to social media websites to entice children to participate in these videos and then also, hear this, ways to avoid law enforcement. ways to avoid getting caught. rachel wolf, the reporter at our affiliate in new orleans, talked to the mother of johnson and here is her reaction. >> it's hard. every time i think about it, i just cry. i have a hard time working. i have a hard time dealing with it. >> reporter: let's talk numbers. there's about 27,000 members for this website according to court documents around the world. 2,000 videos identified and 160 children identified and rescued. so don, all of the details of the story just disturbing in so many ways. >> what did police find at the home? >> they seized his laptops and
2:07 pm
also hard drives. in thinking about the details of this story, it reminds me of what experts always whenever they come on a show say. tell your children to be very careful online. you never know who is going to be talking to them. in this case, those court documents reveal how they were encouraging these adults to entice and coerce children online by making fake personas of females on social media websites. >> thank you, rosa, very disturbing story. could a warning saved a mom and two girls? they were found dead in their apartment. police are accused of dropping the ball. we'll explain, next. to take skincare to the next level, you're ready for roc®. roc® multi correxion has an exclusive 5 in 1 formula. it's clinically proven to hydrate dryness, illuminate dullness, lift sagging, diminish the look of dark spots, and smooth the appearance of wrinkles.

2:11 pm
records show she contacted police several times in the past months before it happened fear ing her husband would murder them. now her family wants to know if her statement to the nypd had been translated from spanish, would she have been alive today. >> reporter: it is unbelievable to many people that this happens in a city as diverse as new york. and in queens, a burro where 56% of residents speak a primary language other than english. unfortunately in this case, not being able to get her message across may have proven deadly. it was a horrific scene, 21-year-old daisy garcia and her two young daughters found stabbed to death allegedly at the hands of her husband. now there's information that not speaking english may have been the immigrant's death sentence. she filed a police report in may of 2013 saying her husband had assaulted her and she feared for her life. that report sat untranslated and
2:12 pm
without follow-up until her death. >> translator: she was crying, so she called the police and told her that her husband had threatened to kill her. >> reporter: the may incident wasn't the only one reported. on november 27th she called police and filed a spanish language complaint. he pulls my hair and kicked me twice. he threatened to take my kids away. the nypd has not said whether that report was translated. two months later, she and her daughters were found dead. >> translator: if they would have given it more importance, than maybe they would have figured out what to do. they would have investigated. it was like they left the report there as if it was worthless. >> reporter: her husband confessed to killing his wife in a fit of jealous rage. he said he then hugged and kissed his daughters, asked for their forgiveness and stabbed each girl multiple times.
2:13 pm
>> i guess no investigation was done to the point where they could have determined that this person had to be arrested. what we didn't know is no one actually translated the text. >> reporter: the family believes she and her daughters would still be alive if the person had taken action. >> translator: my daughter may be dead and can't do anything in this case, but i want justice. >> reporter: now after an internal review of the incident, the new york city police department says a memo will be circulated reminding them that domestic violence reports must be translated to english, but they say this isn't the first time it happened. the violence intervention program filed a lawsuit against the city on behalf of six other hispanic domestic violence victim who is claim they too were denied adequate translation services. that case is still pending. >> what a horrific story. i want to discuss it now with
quote
2:14 pm
holly hughes. holly, to you first. does her family have a case against the nypd? >> they do, don. the negligence here is just glaring. the new york police department has more spanish-speaking officers than any other police department in the united states. so the fact that this didn't just happen once. what make this is so egregious is it happened three different times. three different times she filed a report and says he is violent to me. had any one of those reports been translated, he would have been arrested and possibly been doing time on the original violence and this poor woman and her children would still be alive. >> let's talk about the liveing in fear. jeff, she lived in fear. she was let down by the system a few times. she went to the proper authorities and then she had to
2:15 pm
live in fear constantly. >> yeah, police not sent out. not able to get an order of protection. so very vulnerable. we know what these violence cases that the offenses happen over and over again. here's a guy who probably has her brainwashed and tells her i'm going to kill you if you don't behave in the way i want you to and she has no recourse. she goes to the cops and they don't do anything. so she felt absolutely powerless at that point. >> how do these domestic cases like this fall through the cracks so often? >> unfortunately, number one is volume. there's so many of them, don, and a lot of times it's difficult for the police and prosecutors because we see that cycle of violence. dr. jeff will tell you this. somebody else may call the police like the neighbor will hear the violence and call the police, but the woman is living in such fear and she's been beaten down. psychologically he tells her
2:16 pm
nobody else. s you. so the problem prosecutors run into is the by the time it gets ready to go to trial, she is terrified and recants and hides from the investigators who are trying to bring her to court to testify. so it's such a sad, sad situation. it's something we need to address. we need more shelters. this goes back to funding. but we need places to safeguard these women so that they don't have to live in fear so their children have a bed and a roof over their head because a lot of these cases involve children and the woman feels like if he's only beating me, i can take it so my babies are clothed and fed. >> i have to ask this. this is all about negotiating and being able to move through the justice system for people who don't necessarily now how. how do we do that? >> we have to look at the whole idea of cultural sensitivity and cultural competence. if you have someone you don't understand their language, get an interpreter in there and understand exactly what they are
2:17 pm
saying because all of it is evidence. all of it is important. and there was some racism here. these officers heard her speak spanish. they minimized her. >> it's important to get solutions in this situation. thank you very much. i appreciate you both. it has been three years since the san francisco giants fan was beaten to death. his attackers finally have to answer in court by whooi the victim's sister says they will never be able to forgive them. e we'll talk with our folks here about that.

back now making the case. a san francisco giants fan went to opening day in 2011 to watch his team take on their arch rival. he left that game in an ambulance. now the two men who attacked him have pleaded guilty to assault. one was sentenced to eight years in prison. his co-defendant was rearrested yesterday on a federal weapons charge immediately after being released by the sheriffs for time served. and for the first time, the victim oos sister faced the man who nearly killed their brother. >> i had hoped to see one tiny bit of remorse in order to not
2:22 pm
think you both are that despicable. but i don't. >> no sentencing you receive will ever be long enough. eventually you will be released. >> criminal defense attorney holly hughes and dr. jeff gardeer are both back. you are shaking your head. >> it's absolutely horrible. this judge says these are the worst sports fans. i see them as the worst human beings on the face of the planet. >> we don't see it to this degree where people get injured and end up in the hospital and learn to rewalk. but we see the violence surrounding sports. what's the psychology there? >> this one is simple. when we're talking about violence and injury in this country, the number one fuel for that happens to be alcohol. and alcohol always plays a role. >> holly, you're agreeing. why are you saying that?
2:23 pm
>> well, don, this was attempted murder, quite frankly. he didn't just go to the hospital. he is brain damaged. his brain injury is so severe that he can't go to the bathroom by himself anymore. he has to be diapered and changed. his wife's statement, which we did not hear, she talked about how they have a son and a daughter and he used to throw the ball every day with his son. he used to ride the bikes every day with his daughter. this man will never have his life back again. and these two when they were being sentenced, one of them was smirking at the judge. >> i want to ask you about that. >> this isn't just alcohol. this is rage. this is hate. this is something deeper. >> let me jump in here. the fact they showed no remorse. did that play a part in the sentence they received? >> i think they should have received a far greater sentence for no remorse. they almost killed this man. but for the grace of god, he
2:24 pm
would be dead. and one of them beat him so severely while the other one kept people from intervening, don. they jumped him from behind. this wasn't even a fair fight. this man was a paramedic. he was used to helping people and saving their lives. that's what he devoted his life to. and these two called them kree tans. that's a really kind word for them based on the hatred and the anger they showed. they almost killed this man. with a lack of remorse and lack of respect for the justice system. even if you're not sorry for your crime, you don't smirk at the judge when he's sentencing you. they should have got an lot more time, in my opinion. >> you're agreeing with everything. i want to move on to the next topic. a disturbing. topic out of portland, oregon. three teens are accused of luring a classmate into a shed, hitting him in the head with a crow boar and using a box cutter
2:25 pm
to carve a swastika into his fore head. the teens were charged as adults for kidnapping, robbery and assault. do you agree with the charging of these adults? >> yes, because they committed the crimes of adults, they need to be charged as adults. they also need to look into whether this was a hate crime or not. they said they did it because they wanted his skate board money. he was lured by one of these teens into a private shed where no one else could see them. they shot him with a bb gun, they beat him and carved a swastika. >> that's what i want to talk to dr. jeff about. what's going on with that? >> because what we're seeing is this whole idea that here these are young people so we can't give them a personality disorder yet. they have to be at least 18.
2:26 pm
but we see they are beginning. they start as conduct disorders and they become these anti-social personality disorders, these psychopaths. the two individuals in the previous story, yes, alcohol involved, but these are psychopaths. these young people are on their way to being psychopaths because they had absolutely no remorse. what they did was absolutely so horrific that they can scar their victim not just physically with the swastika on the fore head, but psychologically for the rest of his life. >> i don't get it. thank you, guys. awful stories. appreciate it. get ready for higher prices at the grocery store. crops are drying up in california's drought. and it will hit your pocketbooks. details just ahead. and then there's this man. ♪ >> do we have to talk about him?

california's record breaking drought could soon have a big impact on your grocery bill no matter where you live in the u.s. experts say the dry weather will drive up prices for milk, meat, fruit, vegetables and other products. the hike could be $15 for every $100 you spend at the checkout. jerry brown is call ong californians to conserve water. what california needs is rain. and a lot of it. meteorologist jennifer gray takes a closer look at the situation. >> don, this is a dire situation in california. just last week, 61% covered
2:31 pm
extreme drought. now 68% of the state is under extreme drought. and almost 95% of the state in a moderate drought at least. this is something that's going to take a long time to reverse. we need a lot of rain in the west. it's not just california. it stretches across several states in the west. a huge area. we depend on this for a lot of our fruits, vegetables and nuts. we do have a couple of systems pulling through. the first one is expected to reach on friday. another stronger system on saturday. could bring some much, much needed rainfall for the state. like we mentioned, this is just a drop in the bucket. we need a lot of rain to reverse this, don. >> jennifer, thank you. rock and roller and occasional political commentator and flame thrower ned nugent apologized for calling president obama a subhuman monogral, or sounded like an apology. he made that while talking to ben ferguson who joins me from
2:32 pm
dallas to talk about the interview. we're also joined by mark lamont hill. listen to nugent's kind of apology and then we're going to talk about it. >> i apologize for using the street fighter terminology of subhuman mongrel instead of using more understandable language such as violator of the oath of the constitution, the liar that he is, the president lied when he said we could keep our doctors and retain our health care, period. and that his department of defense and department of justice called the terrorism at fort hood workplace violence. those are the real offensive occurrences in america. so yes, i apologize for using the term subhuman mongrel and i will try to elevate my
2:33 pm
vernacular to the level of those men in politics. >> i'm so sick of ted nugent. let's just ignore him. since we have you on the show, that is not an apology. i'm sorry. that's an even further insult. >> that's your opinion. i think when i asked him the second time to clarify and asked him if he was going to give the president of the united states an american apology and what we say to him if he saw him, he said he was sorry. he is ted nugent and he is a flame-thrower. that's what he does. he also used the words subhuman mongrel earlier in the interview, which had nothing to do with obama when he was talking about anti-gun nuts. you may not like the apology. >> wait, let's get this straight. i don't really care about what
2:34 pm
he says. i have to talk about it because it's part of my job. it's in the public. i don't really care what he says and whether he apologizes or not. if we're being honest, that's not an apology. an apology is i'm sorry. you don't say i'm sorry but, you just say i'm sorry. and you don't go on with a caveat. you don't go on with certain things that you apologized for and go on to insult the person even further. >> let me say this. when you listen to him, has he ever apologized to anyone in public? >> that doesn't matter. >> ben, you're making excuses for him. it does matter. let me finish. it does matter. it matters because you are making excuses for someone who is i guegnorant. mark, do you think he's sorry? he said he's sorry he called the
2:35 pm
president a subhuman mongrel. >> first of all, it's not an apology. an apology goes like this. i'm sorry. here's my interpretation of what i did wrong. here's what i'll do to fix it. that's a basic apology. not i'm sorry i called you a subhuman mongrel, i should have just called you a liar. the other thing is he only responded to this because republican politicians were catching so much hell people were distancing themselves from him. he was stopping the bleeding. and even in that, he showed nothing but arrogance, con den sengs and complete disrespect for the president. >> let me just say i agree. this is the first time i have agreed 100% of mark hill has said. >> it's scary. >> go ahead. >> first of all, you got some of
2:36 pm
the facts wrong. greg abbott has been taking heat because he hasn't distancing himself. that's a false claim. you said greg abbott and other republicans. >> don't talk over each other, guys. >> please don't talk over each other. because i think it's disrespectful to the viewer. ben, finish your thought and then mark you can jump in. >> what i would say is don't say that greg abbott has distanced himself. people have criticized greg for not distancing himself enough. some people think he has been too loyal by not coming out and announcing him saying he would never appear with him on the campaign trail. let's make sure we get the facts straight about this. now back to ted. i think ted when he came out on my show to talk about this, he did feel bad. as we chatted about it, for putting people in an awkward
2:37 pm
situation on something he had nothing to do with the campaign stop. as he said it to me, i would not ever use those words again towards the president of the united states of america. i should have used better vernacular, as you heard in part of his apology there. in the whole 20 minutes we spoke, it was a ted nugent that i do think actually felt bad for this entire episode in which it probably never would have happened. >> i do not think -- listen, i don't think about ted. >> you don't like him. >> i don't really have any feeling about ted nugent. i haven't thought about him since the 1970s and that's where we should leave him because who really cares. go ahead, mark. >> everything ben describes is accurate. it just doesn't describe an apology. i'm sure he feels bad.
2:38 pm
greg abbott is catching heat because he won't apologize for having nugent on the campaign trail with him. but the bigger point here is that he doesn't want to be creating discomfort for his republican friends and create a smoke screen for other things. that's all true. but that's not an apology saying i feel bad that i made other people feel comfortable about the bad things i said about obama. the truth is he doesn't want to apologize to the president. you know what, i'm beginning to say something to the left. too often we demand apologies from people knowing they don't mean it. i don't know if that's supposed to make us feel better. i'm tired of asking for apologies from people who don't want to give them. >> just ignore them. >> when they give them though, you don't even like them any way. >> let me know when he gives one. >> when i asked him again the second time, are you apologizing to the president of the united states if he's watching and he responded yes, that wasn't good
2:39 pm
enough for you because you love the story more than the al apology? >> he responded yes, but. and i'm saying, yes, but we have to move on. we'll talk more. free freshmen will probably be arrested at ole miss after a noose was found around the statue of a civil rights icon. is this a sign of a bigger social problem? we'll debate that, next.

university of mississippi police say they plan to arrest three freshmen students for desecrating a statue. the three all from georgia are suspected of placing a noose around the statue of meredith and leaving behind a confederate flag. in 1961 he was the first black student admitted to ole miss. it took a supreme court decision and federal police to make it happen. this is a very serious story. and especially such young people, 19 years old, they should know people. ben ferguson, marc lamont hill, you think this is a larger problem a the university and unable to escape its past. what do you say? >> i disagree mainly because i was there walking around campus, he was a rock star and an icon
2:44 pm
when he was in class, his students packed the halls to hear what he had to say. and you see how ole miss has changed. it was very normal campus when it comes to race relations. there's always going to be idiots. i'm glad they will be arrested because it makes me angry knowing what ole miss was like. people asked me questions outside of ole miss saying, hold on, you live with an african-american roommate? i laughed because i'm like why is that weird? it wasn't weird at ole miss for a white guy when i was there in 2000 to live with an african-american guy even though people outside were like, this doesn't make sense. how is this happening at ole miss? that's how much the campus has changed. it makes me sick when i see three young idiots do something so disgraceful in this way. they deserve to be kicked out of school and arrested. it gives the university a bad name. it's made amazing strides with race relations, especially with
2:45 pm
the student body. >> marc? >> i don't disagree that race relations have improved, i hope they have. but there's still a pocket of people who are racist. we have to name this as racist. this is racism. and there's no doubt in my mind that there are people of this generation just like previous generations who think like this and act like this. i'm not convinced this is just three outliars on the campus. there are people who believe this stuff and organize around this stuff and act around this stuff. that's what's dangerous and that's what we need to spotlight on every campus in this country. >> is mississippi burdened by its history when incidents like this happen? i guess it happens in iowa, it happens in every place. but is mississippi burdened by this? and then the students are from
2:46 pm
the south. i shouldn't say it's mississippi. what about the south? is it burdened by this? >> sure, no doubt. whether it be freedom riders, philadelphia, mississippi, james meredith coming in and the people that died there and kennedy having to get involved and the history of that. whether it be martin luther king being assassinated. there's always going to be a dark cloud anything that happens when it deals with race because of the history. i also think there's a lot of people like these three students coming in from georgia, probably didn't have as much to do about ole miss as it does about three students from georgia that are incredibly incompetent. we have to put that in the context. they are racist individuals that did something and dpe serve to never go back to the university. i hope we treat it as that and move on from it. >> the reason i say it happens in a lot of places because it
