just becoming a saint. >> but stay with us here at cnn. our coverage continues after our coverage continues after this. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com ♪ you're looking at live pictures -- >> you're looking at live pictures of the vatican. million people plus expected there to be watching what you are seeing is an unprecedented situation, the canonization of two new popes, well, two former popes. now we have two new saints in the world. >> while there are two popes living there present at vatican

city. we're following this big story all throughout the hour but first, we're going to start "new day" with this controversy in the nba that's caught the attention of not only athletes and fans and people here across the country but president obama. he's in the middle of his week-long trip to asia. today he spoke out on the firestorm surrounding donald sterling, the owner of one of the league's south teams, the l.a. clippers. sterling is dominating headlines this morning, he's accused of making racist remarks. >> this conversation between sterling and his girlfriend all recorded and apparently sparked by a photo of that girlfriend with magic johnson, that she posted on instagram. >> i saw one i admire. i admire magic johnson. >> okay, good. >> i'm sorry. he's made a lot of changes for his community, for the world, for the people, for the minorities. he's helped a lot of people. >> why you forcing this down my throat? i'm finished talking to you.

i have nothing mo are to say. >> i took a picture with someone i admired. >> good. >> and he happens to be black, and i'm sorry. >> i think it's nice you admire. i know him well. and during your entire [ bleep ] life, your whole life admired him, bring him here, feed him, [ bleep ] him, i don't care. you can do anything, but don't bring him into my games, okay? >> the tape which was made public by tmz is sparking reaction not only from the sports world but as we told you from the president. he had this to say during the stop in malaysia, during his asia tour. >> when ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything. you just let them talk, and that's what happened here.

>> now, magic johnson, the subject of at least part of sterling's rant airing his thoughts on twitter calling the remarks "a black eye for the nba" and adding "my wife and i will never go to a clippers game again as long as donald sterling is the owner." >> we're also hearing from nba hall of famer and tnt sports host charles barclkley. >> he has to suspend him right now. >> silver denounced the remarks and called for patience as the league investigates. >> the audio recording posted by tmz is truly offensive and disturbing. and we intend to get to the bottom of it, as quickly as possible. all members of the nba family should be afforded due process

and a fair opportunity to present their side of any controversy. which is why i'm not yet prepared to discuss any potential sanctions against donald sterling. >> so let's dig a little deeper into this with cnn's andy scholes and thank you both for being here. we appreciate it. >> andy, the commissioner talked about the process but there are a number of things that the league can do. let's talk about those. >> the most likely thing to happen is a fine and a suspension. an nba owner has never been suspended before so that would be a big step and in itself. fine, donald sterling is worth about $1.9 billion is to will be irrelevant to fine the man. he's 80 years old, getting up there in age. people are saying can they take the nba team away from them?

the nba is confidential, there's no bylaws that say a team can be taken away from an opener just based on reprehensible language or actions such as we're hearing from sterling if that is him on the tape. so that's unlikely to happen. owners will be reluctant to set a precedent if they have actions or language such as sterling that their team can be taken away from them. the most likely is a fine and investigation as adam silver said last night during his press conference. he has broad powers in place to hand down a raping of sanctions. >> jason, let me ask you, first of all, we need to be clear, don sterling's team has not denied this nor have they confirmed it. >> true. >> we need to be clear about that. when it comes to don sterling, that's him. what about the players? there was i think the former clipper guard ron harper in a phone interview said that sterling took care of me when i played there but if i had known

then what i know now there's no way i would have ever played for him. some people are saying the players should take a stand. how likely is it a player making seven figures and this is his livelihood is going to say imi'm not going to play for this guy. >> they don't know what the consequences could be for them. you can't just not show up for work because your boss is a jerk. they're looking at chris paul since he's the head of the players union what can they do to show their distain and dislike for this guy and really, this is a failure of leadership on so many levels, on adam silver's part, on david sterling's part. this is not the first time we've had owners in trouble and they should have rules to deal with these situations. >> i was reading tweets from the coaches and players. baron davis, former clippers guard now retired and the tweet is "that's the way it is. he's honest about what he believes in. been going on for a long time. hats off to the team for playing

above it all." it seems like that is probably an anomaly, compared to all the other comments from you've got kobie bryant saying i couldn't play for him. what are you saying? >> lebron said there's no room for donald sterling in the nba and adam silver was asked what do you think about lebron's comments? of course he said we're in the due process, in the investigation, we have to see how it plays out. there's a lot of players saying we wouldn't play for him. there's no room for this in the nba. gu guys like magic johnson saying i'm never going to a clippers game again and this is a big issue in terms of free agency and nba players. you go back last year when chris paul was a free agent, if this was out there and he was getting similar offers, the clippers could offer him more money but if he was getting similar money and knew this, why you play for the clippers or play somewhere else? >> that's a serious conversation we had about, you make that decision based on money? $7 million, would you turn it

down to say i can't work for the guy. >> that's not going to happen. look, this isn't new. let's be honest. >> since '09 there have been issues. >> this guy has got. in trouble, he was talking to a villanova coach saying i want you to coach a team of "n" words back in the '90s. magic johnson knows what kind of person. you think elgin baylor didn't tell magic what things are going on in the organization. lot of people are comfortable now expressing disdain for him. the big issue is the nba's black eye and what they're going to do with this. >> what stood out to me the nomination of the lifetime achievement award from the l.a. chapter of the naacp. the president put out this statement "we urge the l.a. branch of the naacp to withdraw him from their honorary list"

and i have the tweet, i'm not going to read his name but he says about that potential boycott, what happens to all the hard-working people who really represent that brand? this man is just the money behind it. make him suffer but how do you do that without making the person who needs that next check to pay for rent suffer? >> well there's a lot of ways you can do it. this is where the league failed. they should have rules in place for how you can financially and politically and publicly embarrass and suspend an owner. this is why this is a bigger issue. you have chris paul, cliff paul, you have the two most marketable guys in the nba who happen to be on this team and the second largest market in the country. how could david stern and adam silver not already have a position in place. they've had problems in the past, they should have a better way to do this and regular people don't need to suffer for david sterling's bigotry. >> you have to feel bad for doc

rivers and chris paul. these guys and the fans did nothing wrong. >> it's a big moment. >> they have a big game against the warriors in game four of the series. people are saying they shouldn't play. these guys worked all year for this. if you're a fan, victor, and waiting for this game, why should you suffer? you need to find a way to punish donald sterling but the clippers organization from him down should not see something happen to them because of this. all the fans have been looking for it. this is the playoffs. it's been great so far, it's a shame we have to talk about this. >> we're going to continue this conversation. we'll have you back at 7:00, see you at 8:00. thank you for talking about this. people are talking not just in the sports world, the. the in malaysia having a conversation we had to start with it this morning. >> definitely brings it into the head lins. thank you. we have more than 50 days. >> day 51 in the search for

flight 370. president obama is promising more aid to the search effort. >> as tensions in ukraine escalate the president is pushing for an international solution. why he says countries have to be united if sanctions against russia are going to work at all. (dad) just feather it out. that's right. (son) ok. feather it out. (dad) all right. that's ok. (dad) put it in second, put it in second. (dad) slow it down. put the clutch in, break it, break it.

i can't speak for all the countries in the region, but i can say that the united states and other partners have found the malaysian government eager for assistance, have been fully forthcoming with us in terms of the information that they have, and this is a joint effort. it's not easy. >> not easy at all. president obama standing by the malaysian government in its handling of the flight 370 investigation. >> during a joint news conference with the country's

prime minister, the president said the u.s. is still committed to the search and will provide whatever assistance is necessary. >> his comments come as the high tech underwater robot begins its 15th mission to scour the ocean floor for wreckage. that's the bluefin 21 you see zooming by there. so far, not a single piece of debris has been found. >> let's bring in cnn white house correspondent michelle cosinsky in kuala lumpur. good morning, michelle. >> hi. there were certain subjects we knew would come up, the search for flight 370 was one of them. and it was interesting to hear the press conference today. started out on a light-hearted note with the prime minister of malaysia saying it was 1966 the last time the u.s. president visited. he said they were looking at rubber trees instead of towering skyscrapers and the band the monkeys were the top of the charts. it quickly turned extremely serious in the questions and president obama was asked something that he has been asked

before but he answered it in a little bit more depth. it was why doesn't the u.s. just act alone to sanction russia right now in this crisis in ukraine, and the president agreed that yes, in his words russia has not lifted a finger to deescalate the situation but he said that the u.s. would be in a much stronger position to act with europe instead of alone and he gave an example saying in the instance of arms dealing, if the u.s. cut off all of those deals, what good would it be really if europe then backfills all of those orders? here's part of his statement from today. >> the notion that for us to go forward with sectorial sanctions on our own without the europeans would be the most effective deterrent to mr. putin i think it is factually wrong. the issue is, can the ukrainians make their own decisions about

how they govern themselves and who they have international relations with. >> another really tough question for president obama here was the issue of human rights because while he's meeting with the prime minister, there are these opposition leaders who have been charged with crimes here, widely considered to be trumped up charges, sort of a method to get them out of the political play here and the president was asked why do you not meet with those people? do you not have a strong commitment to human rights? how really could you not meet with them or address that directly and president obama defended himself saying just because i'm not meeting with them doesn't mean i'm not committed. his national security adviser susan rice did meet with opposition leaders and the president insisted he did encourage the malaysian prime minister to address those issues, and the prime minister of malaysia agreed that he had done so. but it's hard on this trip to

really pinpoint progress in terms of what some are calling deliverables, what can the president really take home and said we accomplished this while we were here, this transpacific partnership that could involve 12 asian countries. it hasn't really come to fruition and the administration knew that this is going to take a long time in coming. it wasn't necessarily a guarantee that that would happen but today, while the president was in malaysia, the u.s. and the philippines did sign a ten-year deal to expand the u.s. military presence in the region. christi and victor? >> some progress. still work to do. michelle cosinsky for us in kuala lumpur, thank you. oh, what a celebration for catholics around the globe today. less than two hours ago a pair of the church's most beloved modern popes were installed as saints. >> pope francis presided over the half-hour canonization ceremony and beyond the pageantry and the solemnity, it was a moment of firsts.

>> before today, two popes had never been made saints simultaneously on the same day and in an extraordinary display, francis and benedict stood together before as many as 100,000 pilgrims in st. peter's square. >> the celebration is still going on. we'll have a live report and talk with the papal historian in about ten minutes. we want to forewarn you what's going on with tornadoes ripping across north carolina. trees are down. we understand some homes are flipped. look at the pictures we're getting in here and the threat isn't over. you'll have your severe weather forecast coming at you next.

another day of rough weather for the folks in the carolinas. north carolina cleaning up this morning after powerful tornadoes ripped across that state. >> we'll tell you multiple twisters knocked down trees and knocked out power to thousands of people. as many as 200 homes were either damaged or destroyed. friends and neighbors are promising to help rebuild. >> as you can see his house isn't okay but it's heartbreaking. i feel for him. >> glad he wasn't in it. >> we'll do everything we can to help him. he's a part of our family. >> good people there. >> meteorologist karen maguinma

here with the threat of the day. >> we have several more days ahead. i want to read something to you, the national weather service office out of kansas city, they write these discussions so meteorologist can see look at them and this was what they topped their discussion with. if there was any day to be weather aware, today is that day. all modes of severe weather possible, high winds, large ail and tornadoes possible. watch this progression over the next several days. here's sunday. monday a little bit further to the east and tuesday across the southeast. what can we expect? this morning, already big storms rumbling around across north and south dakota, winds come up from the southeast and east between 35 and close to 50 miles an hour, but it is this moderate risk of severe weather. we don't show that too often. it happens, but for today, it looks like missouri into arkansas into louisiana and right around that arklatex region, what can you expect?

the thunderstorms and the thunderstorms are capable of producing deadly weather and we're expecting some heavy downpours as we go into the next several days, especially across the deep south. some areas could see six plus inches of rainfall. all of this is thanks to a deep area of low pressure that's try to eject out of the interior west. that pushes into the central u.s. this will be around for a few days, and christi and victor, this is going to be very problematic moving ahead. >> wow. all right. karen maginnis thank you for the heads up. catholics around the globe watching the celebration of two popes turned saints on the same day. we're going to talk about the historic relevance and just the pomp and circumstance, the image is so strong here with the papal story just ahead. >> and interesting little tidbits we need to talk about

hope you're feeling sunday sunshine unless it's too early and you're still waiting. i i'm christi paul. >> in your spirits. i'm victor blackwell. good to be with you. the world's largest christian church has two saints this morning to new saints. pope john paul ii and john xxiii were canonized about two hours ago in an unprecedenteder cerey at st. peter's square. >> this is the first time two popes had been made saints on the same day. d delia gallagher is outside of vatican city. give us a sense of what it's like there now. >> christi and victor, i can tell you, it has been an amazing morning. as you said it's a first. we've seen pope francis do lots of firsts about ever but this is the first time we've had two saints. john paul ii already had a great following and it probably would have drawn a large crowd but put it together with john xxiii who

was beloved by italians and well respected in the catholic church and you have what you see behind me, a huge crowd upwards of 1 million people who slept overnight out on the street with their sleeping bags to wait for the moment that we saw this morning, when pope francis officially declared john xxiii and john paul ii saints of the catholic church. >> beyond the canonization of the two popes, there's this moment where the two living popes are participating in this ceremony at the same time. how did pope ben digt, pope emeritus benedict look, his health, how is he? >> well, victor, he's 87 years old. he resigned last year for reasons of frailty, he said for reasons of not being able to keep up with the demands of the job, and so he looks pretty much like you might expect. he was never a very robust man

to begin with in the sense that john paul ii might have been in his early years but intellectually and in his spirit and in his character, he's very much still quite vital, and i think one of the most important moments of this morning was when pope francis went over and embraced pope emeritus benedict because in the first place, pope francis wouldn't be here if it weren't for pope benedict's very radical act of resigning and also pope benedict was the person who was closest to john paul ii during the 26 years of his pontificate. he and john paul ii were the last two popes to participated in the second vatican council, also john xxiii. certainly for pope benedict this occasion is an historical one having known both of them and worked with both of these new saint popes. >> vatican correspondent delia gallagher, thank you so much.

>> joining us is christopher bellito, history chair and author of "when a pope dies." it's good to have you with us. >> good morning. >> what's interesting, christopher, is that these two popes now, saints maybe embody opposite opposing ends of catholicism. explain that, how the difference between a pope john paul ii and a pope john xxiii and their different views of catholicism. >> sure. i'm going to respectfully disagree with you. >> okay. >> i don't think that john xxiii is a pure liberal and john paul ii is a pure conservative. that goes a certain distance, but the catholic church is neither conservative nor liberal, know you have conservative and liberal catholics. we have to remember that john

xxiii wasn't going to snap his fingers and make women priests. john paul ii was as much a critic of capitalism as he was of communism. no one would call benedict xvi a liberal, yet he called for the redistribution of wealth and said health care is a fundamental human right. i think what's happening here is a call for unity and yes, there are people who identify john xxiii on the progressive side and john paul ii on the conservative side. i'll agree with you so far. i think what francis is calling for is a big noah's arc church where we have to love each other even if we don't like each other all the time but looking for a church of both ends. i think what's really going on here is that pope francis is canonizing the second vatican council, that great meeting of the church that john xxiii started and john paul ii implemented with paul vi in the middle. we're in the 50th anniversary of

the council, 1952 to 1965 is when the council sat. there are many ways of living vatic vatican, many ways of being catholic, all of them authentic and to say one way of interpreting the council or one way of being catholic is the right way and the others aren't i think that's what's going on. he's going after both ands catholicism, not either/osh catholicism. >> one thing that is also significant here, now saint john paul ii's canonization is the swiftest beautification in history, if i believe. normally you have to wait five years and this was expedited i think if i remember correctly, made possible by pope benedict. but you wrote i know, christopher, that the church should wait 50 or 100 years for the process of making a pope a saint. why do you believe that? >> well, i think that let's say what is being declared when

someone is made a saint, with he say this person lived a life of extraordinarily christian heroic virtue but not that this person is without sin. we are all with sin. we believe, i'm a practicing catholic myself, and i'm trying to get it right and i'm going to fall down and i'm not going to get it right. so all saints are by definition sinners because they are human but they recognize something greater. however, we have to say that being a pope is a pretty unique job description, and though lots of people are saints who are craftsmen, who are carpenters, who are kings, who are queens, who are mothers and fathers in the pews, being pope is pretty unique so when the catholic church says we're going to canonize thisser. the catholic church is not saying we're going to canonize every single thing this person did. that's okay when it comes to people in a local area, but when it comes to the complex role of a papacy, then people are going

to start to ask questions as to well, which parts of the papacy are you canonizing? the answer of course is going to be we're not canonizing a papacy. we're canonizing not even john paul ii but carol wojtla. i have to move from saying popes should never be canonized to saying this is so unique, a papacy is so unique that maybe we need a longer period of time to wait and let things settle. i was watching the funeral of john paul ii as we all were and someone said as they held up the signs "santo subito" canonize right away, but i also thought immediately that kind of enthusiasm is precisely why we have the wisdom of a five-year waiting period and so some people say why are we rushing on john paul ii and what about mother teresa. >> good point.

>> christopher bellitto, a history professor at cain university in new jersey, this conversation will continue and we'll talk more throughout the morning. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> sure. we also have to talk about the 15,000 ukrainian troops that are surrounding a key city held by pro-russian troops. the question now is, is this crisis in the region headed toward a military face-off? we're going to talk about it.

as the tension between kiev and pro-russian separatists in

eastern ukraine heats up president obama is saying russia is not doing anything to prevent a crisis in the region. >> russia has not lifted a finger to help. in fact, there's strong evidence that they have encouraging the kinds of activities that have been taking place. >> meanwhile russian state news is claiming kiev mobilized 15,000 troops in the suburbs of sl slaviansk to "wipe out the city and its residents." that characterization quite provocative. phil, any claims that the mobilization of these troops and their, any effort is true? >> reporter: it is difficult to say definitively, victor. in the time i've spent in eastern ukraine i didn't see anything osupport that 15,000 soldier figure russia is claiming nor have my colleagues who are still there. we have seen an uptick in

ukrainian military activity. there are more checkpoints surrounding the town. we've seen the military challenge pro-russian checkpoints which circle this town and the ukrainian government itself says it is entering what it calls the second phase of an anti-terror operation against the forces. certainly an increase in ukrainian military activity. we haven't seen anything to support the 15,000 figure but there could be more there in that region than what we have seen so far. >> what do we know about the international observers who have been seized? >> this is a group of international observers connected to the organization for security and cooperation in europe seized on the outskirts of salvyansk on friday -- >> we apologize, obviously we had some technical issues and we lost our shot with phil, but we will try to get him back and

i don't know if you know, but april is child abuse awareness month particularly because children are too afternoon bused by a relative or someone else very close to them. experts say it's important for young victims to tell their parents and equally important for parents to believe their children. i spoke to a brave young girl who was abused by her grandfather during a family sleepover and she had the courage to talk about what happened to her. >> we were just watching tv and i said mommy, i think somebody touched me inappropriately. that's when my grandfather got up and went to the computer room. >> so he was in the room when you first started the conversation? >> yes. he's always in the room during the morning kind of keeping an eye on us making sure we're okay. >> they were obviously not okay. her dad now had this painful task of confronting his own father about his daughter. >> i told him that, you know, brianne said someone touched her while she was sleeping and my dad is setting in the chair and

looks up at me and says russ, i'm not going to lie to you. it was me. just that whole moment, i just -- i mean my blood pressure went up. obviously i became super, you know, just angry as any father would. my response to him, it was complete shock. i was like, it was you? >> shattered their relationship and russ, here's the important thing. he chose to prosecute his dad, who was convicted and given house arrest by the way because of his failing health but i want to bring angela williams in founder of the voice movement. we know what brianne did was brave. one, it worked, she told the parents and two, we believed her. how we as parents react to children in the crises can shape their entire lives. what are the three things we need to do that are most pivotal? >> that is such a critical moment for the child to not only get justice but to heal.

so i have an acronym called c.a.r. the first thing we need to do, our instinct is to panic but we have to stay calm. c is for calm. we have to be ready good listeners. we have to ask what the child needs and they need to hear i believe you and here to protect you and r is probably the most difficult and that's to respond with courage. we know that 93% of the time the child knows, loves and trust this is person, so you know, love and trust this person. so that is the most difficult thing is to call law enforcement, to not do the investigation, to let the experts do the forensic interviews so that that child's testimony could be protected and they could get justice. >> we know that sex predators or pedophiles are an entirely different breed of criminal, right? >> they are our friends, they're our pastors, they're our

doctors, they're our lawyers. they are the people that we know, so when you say the word predator we're looking for a monster amongst us. their behavior is obviously heinous and spreader toial. >> they'll work for years to ingrai ingratiate themselves in our lives. >> they tend to havena, sick behavior, very power control are some of their traits and really what we need to recognize is how that child interacts with that person. is there someone in the child's life they're edgy around, maybe aren't comfortable around that they don't want to spend time alone with. >> and give the child a chance to say i'm not comfortable here and that's okay, don't force them to be around them. why are you asking people to wear the color white on wednesday specifically this wednesday, april 30th? >> april 30th is a national movement, it's part of the voice

movement called white out child abuse day. it is time we stand for the innocence of our children. one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthday. it's time we stand in solidarity for the innocence of our children but also for the wounding of 4 million reported survivors in the u.s. >> which you are one? >> which i am one. it is a movement for to us come together and really for this cause stand up and do something and let that survivor know we care about your pain and -- >> we're behind you. >> maybe giving it a voice in this conversation we could find solutions because we can't continue to be oblivious to this. it's not even an epidemic anymore, it's pandemic. >> absolutely. angela, thank you so much for everything you're doing. you are encouraged this wednesday, april 30th to wear white to show your support and stand in solidarity with child sex abuse victims. so much story with bleeian and her family online, they opened

lot of families say they're done waiting and they're turning to boeing for answers. cnn's alexander field has more.

technical data information so that the families can at least get a handle on how they came about to calculate the area on, this coalesced area where everyone is looking now. >> reporter: boeing express expressedsive thee and an appeal from the families won't likely change that. >> they are under no obligation to disclose any of that information. >> boeing will say that they are prohibited from talking to the families under annex 13 of the international civil organization but that only applies to information gathered in the course of an investigation. >> reporter: a lawsuit against boeing could force the manufacturer to turn over information about its aircraft. with the plane still missing some aviation attorneys say the families don't have a case, at least against the boeing company. >> you're not going to be able to bring a claim against boeing without the wreckage or the black boxes. >> reporter: alexandra field, cnn, new york.

-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com oh, you made it to sunday. doesn't that feel good? i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. this is "new day" sunday. >> a day of celebration for catholics around the world. lot of people are watching it. >> a beautiful ceremony. >> two new saints are canonized. these are live pictures from vatican city, pope francis ride among the crowds. you can hear how excited people are, the faithful gathering to witness pope john 23rd and pope john paul ii becoming saints. >> pope francis always appears to enjoy the ride through the crowd, reaching out, accepting things they give him as he passes. we're following the big story during this hour. first we want to start with an nba controversy that's really caught the attention not only of the athletes and the fans of the league but also president obama, and consider this.

the president is in the middle of his asia trip in kuala lumpur and all that's happening there. he spoke out today on the firestorm surrounding donald sterling, all the way in malaysia. donald sterling is the owner of one of the league's top teams, the l.a. clippers. sterling is dominating headlines this morning, he's accused of making racist remarks. >> this conversation between sterling and his girlfriend all caught on tape and apparently sparked by a photo of that girlfriend with magic johnson that she posted on instagram. please let me forewarn you here, it's morning and i know you've got kids in the room perhaps, some of the language here is certainly offensive. we tried to clean it up as best we can.

>> that recording, made public by tmz is sparking not only reaction from the sports world but as we told you at the top of the show from the president. he had this to say during the malaysia stop of his asia tour. >> when ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything.

you just let them talk, and that's what happened here. >> magic johnson the subject of part of sterling's rant anyway is airing his thoughts on twitter calling the remarks "a black eye for the nba" and adding "my wife and i will never go to a clippers game against as long as donald sterling is the owner." >> we're also hearing from nba hall of famer and tnt sports host charles barkley who says the commissioner and adam silver must take swift action. >> this is the first test of adam silver. he's got to suspend him right now. >> joining us now from oakland, california, is cnn's dan simon. >> dan, good to see you this morning. charles barkley, even some current nba players i know saying sterling needs to go. what is the nba saying this morning? >> reporter: good morning, guys. boy, has this story blown up quickly. first, let me tell you where i am. we're in front of oracle arena in oakland, where game four is going to be played today between

the clipper answer the golden state warriors and i tell you what. some have called for the clippers to even boycott this game but the head coach of the warriors, of the clippers rather says that is not going to happen, that the idea was discussed in the locker room but it was dismissed, that they're going to play their hearts out today. but reaction is coming in fast and furiously, as this story really has spread like wildfire across the internet. the nba commission ear dam silver who just came into that post a few months ago said that the league is going to do a couple things. first it wants to authenticate the tape and number two he wants to see the context in which the offensive comments were made. take a look. >> it's unacceptable, and you know, as a commissioner of our league, you have to make a stand and you have to be aggressive with it.

>> silver cautioned that sterling must be afforded due process and that the investigation is going to move very, very quickly, and that's really going to need to happen, christi and victor because you're looking at a major uproar here among nba players. >> we heard from lebron james, he said there's no room for donald sterling in the league. we also heard yesterday from doc rivers who is the coach of the l.a. clippers and he walked a bit of a line, dan, in i guess condemning the comments but also trying to keep the focus on the team and the game. >> absolutely. you know, that's really going to be the key here, that they want sort of the protest to be in the play. you talked about lebron james because of his stature in the nba his words carry a lot of weight. let's listen to what lebron had

to say. >> it's sunacceptable and as a commissioner of our league, they have to make a stand and have to be very aggressive with it. >> reporter: well, chris paul, chris paul, who is the president of the nba players association said the following, we have an on screen quote for you, "on behalf of the national basketball players association, this is a very serious issue, which we will address aggressively. we have asked mayor kevin johnson to expand his responsibilities with the nvpa to determine our response and next steps. as players we ohe it to our teams and our fans to keep our focus on our game, the playoffs, and a drive to the finals." we're also hearing, guys, from the president of the clippers, andy rocher who said, didn't know if the tape was legitimate but said the woman on the tape who he believes gave it to tmz is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the sterling family

alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told mr. sterling that she would get even. he doesn't name the woman but of course we're talking about the woman at the center of all this, vee stibiano. as we like to say in this business this story has some legs and it will be pretty interesting to see what happens at the game today if there's going to be some type of symbolic protest at the beginning of the game between the players, will they come together, will they wear arm bands? it's going to be really interesting to see, guys. >> dan simon, thank you very much. he brings up a good point, you can't ignore this when you go to the game. jason johnson joining us now. what do you think they do out of the gate? >> the players will concentrate on the game but the happy person is mark jackson, the coach of the golden state warriors. oh my gosh he's telling his players this isn't just for you but for everybody else in the league who is mad, you're going to put the clippers down today.

there will be symbolism on the part of the golden state warriors, the clippers are going to try and make it through the game. >> let's talk about some of the comments. there are some who find it difficult to understand how don sterling can both say that he admires magic johnson but also have these comments about having him at the games, being with him in public, and something as simple as walking with black people. >> right, or the fact that he's having sex with a woman who is half black. this is how racism works. it never made any sense. you can hate black but still want to have sex with them. you can hate people in vietnam and still want to have -- this is the complexity and the sicks than is modern racism. it's never changed. it probably will not evolve and as he said, and i think this is really important is he talks about in this tape, he said it's like talking to the enemy. people think you're a nice white girl. you shouldn't be doing like this. this runs deeper than his own bigotry. he's speaking for a generation. >> when we talk about sterling

you think okay, he's an owner. he is the purse strings of this organization. >> yes. >> how do you punish the purse strings without punishing everybody else? it what are the options here? >> the options are very clear. this is a club. you don't have a right to own an nba team. it's as much a privilege, there's only 32 in the world, it's as much a privilege to own than to play. if the commissioner takes real authority here he can say you've damaged the brand, damaged the league and consequently i think we have to look at your rights to own this team, just like any player who would embarrass the league. the league should step in and say maybe you're not responsible enough to have this anymore. >> what is the likelihood considering the other enoers wouldn't enjoy this precedent? >> i don't think they'd enjoy it but there are ways you can remove someone. we don't want you in day to day operations, they can say you can't come to games anymore under any circumstances. you're getting sued by so many different people you have already damaged the league

enough. we just want to offer you a buy-out. i think that's a possibility. the number of lawsuits likely coming out of this from staff people and members waiting to be exposed are going to be huge. adam silver does not want this dragging on to june in the finals. >> what about the tape that surfaced and the background of this relationship with this woman. he's still married and was it really payback from her? >> i think it might be. this is what i think is key about this. tmz is a lot of things but don't get sued a lot. they would not release this tape if they hadn't authenticated it. i think they know it's legitimate. i listened to the tape several times. i have a feeling there's probably more to it. i think it's clear that it's him. i think they know it's him and i think that right now the league is just trying to figure out what they to do legally. i think we can probably trust this is donald sterling. >> let's talk about the side bar issue, the naacp, l.a. branch

honoring him with a lifetime achievement award. >> a little ironic at the moment. >> and the timing could not be worse for the naacp, no the better for don sterling. >> right. i think this is what happens when you give a bunch of tickets to poor kids in the inner city. it sounds terrible but pretty much what he's done. he's a rich fguy and a philanthropist. you can hire black people and still hate them. you can hire women and still hate them. this is paula deen, so many other examples where people have dual identities. i'm not surprised the naacp was about to give him an award. they'd be dumb to do so now. we'll see if they listen to the rest of the cries from the country. >> i can't imagine how they could go through with it. >> if they do you know we'll be talking about it here. jason johnson, thank you. still to come on "new day," the situation in ukraine. i mean, this is getting worse by the day. even after that geneva agreement didn't seem like anybody held up

their end of the bargain. is kiev getting ready to crack down on the pro-russian separatists in the region? plus the catholic faithful celebrating two new saints today, we're going to take you live to rome, as millions have gathered for this historic occasion. all we do is go out to dinner. that's it? i mean, he picks up the tab every time, which is great... he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. huh the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on dining out, with no annual fee. go to citi.com/thankyoucards if yand you're talking toevere rheuyour rheumatologistike me, about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block

a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step. talk to your doctor. this is humira at work.

it was surreal to stand in one of the most important institutions in america and ring that bell. it was truly a life-changing experience. we're going to build a great company and we're going to make a great future.

russia has not lifted a finger to help. in fact, there's strong evidence that they have encouraging the kinds of activities that have been taking place. >> that's president obama, his comments from malaysia overnight. the president said the world is united against russia in its actions there in ukraine. the tension between kiev and pro-russian separatists in eastern ukraine is heating up. russian state news is claiming kiev mobilized 15,000 troops in the suburbs of salvyansk to,

"wipe out the city and its residents." >> frightening. on russia's side there are 40,000 troops conducting military exercises. group of european observers are in the hands of pro-russian gunmen. we want to bring in retired u.s. army general james "spider" marks. thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> in this situation, do you see any way to avoid some sort of military confrontation? >> well, christi, the military confrontation is already taking place. kiev has an obligation to maintain peace, order, control, in all of its sovereign territory and slaviansk and dou donetsk. the president is correct. i challenge him, putin is raising a finger and raising a finger to instigate the violence and the chaos that you see in

east ukraine. clearly putin and the government in kiev, moscow and kiev should be able to talk, because it appears right now that they have a coalescing of the same objective, both want some form of stability, putin doesn't want to see this thing spin out of control. his concern is for russian, ethnic russians in east ukraine and the kiev government certainly wants to maintain order in its country and within its borders, so you'd think there might be some degree of an agreement. clearly that's not the case right now. >> general, you said that this already, military confrontation. my question pulls the string of with whom and which country? if we take into context the buzzing of u.s. ships, the flying russian jets flying into u.s. air space. is putin looking specifically for a military confrontation with the u.s., not just ukraine? >> well, the russians didn't do anything about u.s. air space.

what they did is overflied a naval. they have penetrated ukrainian air space, victor. so it is very provocative, absolutely. these are clear indications of tensionsing. ratcheted up, but, russia has annexed crimea, which is a part of ukraine so we have to take that discussion of trying to find our way around the edges on this thing and tighten it up and say look, the russians have invaded ukraine, annexed crimea. there is instigation that's taking place in east ukraine, and clearly putin doesn't gain if this thing completely spins out of contro and he has the responsibility to try to clean up the mess in east ukraine. i would anticipate that the forces that are north of ukraine, the russian forces that are north of ukraine right now really is the strategic provocative action that's taking place right now. clearly putin has the authority to exercise his own forces in his own country, but the message that he's sending ukraine and the rest of the world is, look, i mean business here, but i tell

you, russian history tells you that they like instability on their borders, as long as they can control that instability and know what the outcome is. makes it more difficult to threaten russia and moscow. in this case, putin's concerned that he can't control what's taking place in ukraine so he's keeping the forces there to ensure that if it spins out of control to, in his view, can he react. >> general spider marks, thank you so much. >> thank you, folks. >> thank you. so new this morning, listen to this, after all of the criticisms of the malaysian government over the handling of flight 370, president obama is defending them. >> earlier today at a joint news conference, mr. obama said he believes the malaysian government has been forthcoming with information to the u.s. he also vowed to provide more assistance and support to the search. >> meanwhile the high-tech underwater robot the bluefin 21 scouring the ocean floor. it's the robot's 15th mission.

so far not a single piece of deprix has been found. >> above the surface the sea and air search have been suspended because of bad weather in the area. >> we want to take you to an unprecedented event in vatican city today. two new saints welcomed into the church by two living popes. this is history. >> it is indeed. we're going to take you live to vatican city as millions gather to celebrate this historic canonization. life's an adventure when you're with her.

as we say good morning to you, we say good afternoon to vatican city. take a look here. i know the ticker is covering it up a little bit there but millions of people made the pilgrimage there today for the canonization. >> huge crowd. >> installing pope john xxiii and john paul ii. it's described as catholic mardi gras on steroids. that's great. >> pope francis got right into the middle of the celebration. look here. this is the popemobile riding into the crowd, greeting the faithful who gather to witness the pope's canonization, and pope francis appears to really enjoy this, reaching out occasionally, touching people, holding hands, accepting things that they passed to him. >> he was criticized at one point for not wanting to be in anything that was covered. >> yes. >> for his own safety, he must, but he loves so much that touching and hugging and i'm

here and i'm accessible to you kind of thing, and let's get more on what's happening there with vatican correspondent delia gallagher because she's live just outside of vatican city. >> what was the scene as the pope rode through the crowds, delia? >> reporter: what a thrill, victor and christi. the crowds here, you have to understand have been here since yesterday, sleeping in sleeping bags out under the stars on the hard cobblestones of st. peter's and i think everybody was really hoping that pope francis would be able to come all the way down and let everybody get a close glimpse of him which they do when he's in the popemobile. he did do that. i think as a sign of recognition these people that had come from so far, flights from all nations of the word, the largest contingency from poland, last night when they were all here singing songs, a group of marathoners from poland arrived and they had run from poland to rome. so that will tell you the extent of the devotion of these people

both for the two pope saints but also for pope francis. so it was a really special moment when he was able to come down and really greet the crowds. he got down from the popemobile, waved to those people who were on the bridges he couldn't access. nice ending to what has been a very exciting and unique moment. >> with all the flags flying and you can hear the people buzzing behind you get a good sense of it. what else is on the agenda for pope francis today? >> reporter: my goodness, today he's had a very busy morning, had to meet all of the dignitaries that came to celebrate with him and obviously tomorrow then he will start with another mass of thanksgiving for this mass, that is a tradition also with canonizations that you give a mass in thanksgiving for these new saints. >> all righty, delia gallagher, we so appreciate you being there

for us and walking us through it. >> see you back here at the top of the hour, 8:00 eastern for more "new day." >> "sanjay gupta md" starts after a quick break, though. stay close.

welcome to "sg, md." today a tough choice. a family with two kids. both have a crippling disease. but only one can get a new experimental therapy. plus a surprising new toxic trend that's now on the rise among college students. but first, we know that opiates can be addictive. we talk about this quite a bit. we know overdoses are becoming more common and we also know zohydro is a powerful new pain killer that has stirred up more than its fair share of troers. controversy. dr. jean-marine perrone has watched the deadly overdoses to go up. that's why she's against federal

approval of zohydro, a potent new pain killer. >> in the middle of a prescription drug epidemic and we thought that that was related to an upswing in prescriptions for these opioid analgesic drugs like long-acting oxycodone. >> reporter: according to the national institute of drug abuse, roughly 20% of americans have used prescription drugs recreationally. of those 14% became addicted. car crashes are no longer the number one reason people die accidentally in the united states. nowadays, it's actually prescription drugs. that's because on any given day, people take more than the recommended dose. mix and match or take medications not prescribed to them. maybe take pills with alcohol and all of it can make for a deadly dose. in fact, the most recent data shows 37,000 drug overdose deaths in one year. mostly accidental.
