they're working for ways to keep people safe for the pilgrimage in october. we are going to stay on top of the story. stay connected at cnn.com. keep the conversation going on twitter. i want to hear from you. @dsanjaygupta. good morning, everybody. i'm christi paul. so glad to see you on this sunday. >> victor bracwell. this is "new day" sunday. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com they hit everybody last night, joe biden, the 47%, the

cattle rancher in alabama. >> us. >> fast and furious last night at the correspondsents dinner. >> president obama and joel mchale headlined the roast with good zikers, put on quite a show for the washington and hollywood elite. ♪ >> the vice president isn't here tonight, not for security reasons. he just thought this event was being held at the dulles airport applebee's. right now, joe is elbow deep in jalapeno poppers and talking to a construction cone he thinks is john boehner. >> and i'm feeling sorry, believe it or not, for the speaker of the house as well. these days the house republicans actually give john boehner a had harder time than they give me,

which really means orange is the new black. i got a lot of grief on cable news for promoting owe bamacare to young people between two firms. that's what young people like to watch. i'm not the first on television between two potted plants. >> an american won the boston march than for the first time in 30 years. which was inspiring, and only fair, since a kenyan has been president for the last six. of course, we rolled out healthcare.gov. that could have gone better. >> but thanks to obamacare or as the president refers to it, mecare, millions of newly

insured young americans can visit a doctor's office and see what a print magazine actually looks like. that's awesome. >> let's face the facts, you'll miss me when i'm gone. it will be harder to convince the american people that hillary was born in kenya. >> hillary clinton has a lot going for her as a candidate. she has experience. she's a natural leader, and as our first female president, we could pay her 30% less. that's the saving this country could use. >> comedian joel mchale taking a swipe at the gender pay gap at last night's white house correspondents dinners. very clever. >> it was a skroek but with a nugget of truth. all the jokes were indeed last night. we got pete dominic here with us, a comedian and host of his own political talk show on sirius xm.

>> looking a smidge disheveled. how did you get there last night without me, pete? i'll make you take me next time although i don't know i want to look like that in a morning. >> i'd take you in a heartbeat. i may look a little haggard. i'm still in a tux and my hair might be a little bit disheveled but it's so much fun. i met everybody. i met everybody from casey aflac to kareem abdul jabbar, kirsten gillebrand, lindsay von was following me around saying i want to you meet this guy and that guy. >> what did you think of president obama's performance? >> he's always so good. i've gone the last 30 years. i've got to bring up the 2011 one when seth meyers was hosting when the president performed standup comedy the night before the bin laden raid. so to be able to do that, that year, the rest is easy, and the president always does very well.

he times it really well, and we got to give credit to the people who write the president's jokes. they're really good writers. >> joel mchale was good. he definitely stepped up to the plate. what was your favorite moment? >> joel mchale is great. just be clear the standup comedi comedian, this is not a fun gig. it's not a great gig to prepare for. you're nerve-wracked sitting there for two hours next to the first lady, scratching jokes off, writing more jokes. the best moment was when he made fun of chris christie. i'm not a fan of the fat joke, it's too easy and done but i think we have a clip of it. could we role it? >> governor you want bridge jokes, half and size. i could go half and half. i know you like a combo platter. now i get that, i'm sorry for that joke, governor christie. i didn't know i was going to tell it but i take full responsibility for it. whoever wrote it will be fired. but the buck stops here, so i

will be a man and own up to it, just as soon as i get to the bottom of how it happened because i wasn't aware it happened until just now. >> oh my goodness. >> beautiful joke, exquisite joke. victor, i said coming into this, an element of truth, a nugget of truth is what makes the comedy the best. >> absolutely. >> was anybody squeamish? i don't know why, i have a hard time seeing people get, you know, kind of what do i say -- >> ribbed? >> i like a good ribbing but those were, i just wonder was anybody, was chris christie a little peeved? >> i think he has a great sense of humor about himself and i got to say, you know, wah. i'm in the public eye. wah, i'm the governor of new jersey. listen, when you choose to put

yourself in these jobs you're going to take a chance of being roasted and just to get your name mentioned last night by the president or joel mchale, no matter who you are, no matter what network you are, it's flattering. s' good publicity. there's no bad publicity and chris christie's a good sport whereas donald trump a few years ago just stone faced as the president of the united states is making fun of him and that's not good. >> very good point. comedian pete dominick you look marvelous. >> clean yourself up next time for the show. >> no, if he looks like that, we know he had a good time. >> i didn't go to bed. i stayed up for you guys. next year i'm bringing you, christi. >> perfect, thank you. >> thanks, guys. the other big story people are talking about this morning the l.a. clippers are getting a new leader, owner donald sterling banned from the league for life over the racist audio recordings last weekend. the nba is trying to force the billionaire to sell the team and the league announced it is

appointing i awe new chief executive officer to oversee the clippers' day-to-day operations. >> this is coming off as the team knocked off the golden state warriors in front of 20,000 screaming fans. final 126-121. evensterly's wife shelly showed up to watch her team advance in the playoffs. cnn sports joe carter joining us now. what a game, joe. >> great game. i loved how the clippers fought back in that game, down at halftime by double digits. they came back in the fourth quarter, really pursued a great win for this team, obviously an emotional week. before this last couple years the l.a. clippers have been known as the bad news bears of the nba for years and billy cryst crystal, a big celebrity fan of theirs used to joke with not going to l.a. lakers games, going to clippers games instead because it was a big bargain but the turnaround for the team happened in 2009 when they drafted blake griffin and traded for chris paul in 2011 and the franchise is playing its best basketball ever and they just

went through the longest nine days of their basketball lives and they really didn't let the donald sterling saga become their downfall and at the end of the game you see the emotion coming from a stoic doc rivers. i believe that really said it all for this team and chris paul their star point guard said last night they had to put the controversy aside and focus on basketball the task at hand. >> it's going to sound crazy but it was all about tonight. everything else was in the past, couldn't dwell on all that different type stuff and not to diminish how serious everything's been the past week or so, it was all about bobl basketball tonight. >> they have a second round series with the oklahoma city thunder. oklahoma city beat memphis last night in seven games. got to like the clippers here, guys. winning in sports is a lot about emotion and momentum and it's

clear the l.a. clippers have both and really i like when sports teams have something to prove and i feel like the l.a. clippers have something to prove right now. >> good point. >> joe carter, thank you. >> thanks. when it comes to the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370 there are all theories about what happened. what malaysian police are pushing back this morning against a new report that's just popped up. >> maybe you've seen the hashtag on social media and not sure what it is. #wringbackourgirls is an effort to bring home more than 200 girls still missing after being kidnapped in nigeria. thousands more protesting and millions more call for their release. we'll go live to nigeria.

this morning, malaysian authorities are pushing back against a report that terrorism may have played a part in the disappearance of flight 370. >> this is according to "the daily mail" which says 11 terrorists with al qaeda ties were arrested last week near kuala lumpur and interrogated about the missing plane. cnn's will ripley is in kuala lumpur. police have something to say about this report in "the daily mail." >> the royal malaysia police specifically are saying this is flat out wrong. they did arrest 11 suspected militants. they're expecting to arrest more but they say this case has nothing to do with the missing plane. it's part of an ongoing terror investigation, they're trying to prevent attacks here in malaysia

and other countries as well. setting the record straight as far as officials are telling us here, no connection to mh-370. >> tomorrow, will, is a big day in deciding what will be the next phase of this search, trilateral meeting, you've got china, malaysia and australia meeting. what do we know about those meetings and any idea of what the next phase will look like? >> are this is an important step, victor, as you've been talking about, as we've been reporting here. we know that the chinese delegation, the malaysian delegation are in sydney, australia now. they had informal briefings earlier in the day and first thing local time in australia they'll sit down with the australian experts so china, malaysia and australia sitting at the table discussing the next phase of the search which we know will involve private contractors with different types of technology to search the southern indian ocean for any sign of the missing plane.

the bluefin 21 contract is extended to the end of this month, costing the united states about $40,000 a day, a is everyone that will be time consuming, could take up to a year and could cost up to $60 million. the meetings will be figuring out what technology they're going to use, where they're going to deploy it as they continue searching. >> you cannot help thinking about the families. we are 58 days in with nothing. what are we hearing from them at this point? >> well a lot of the families i think reality is really starting to set in, that even though we don't have a single piece of this plane, some of them are starting to say good-bye. we saw a memorial service in australia today for a couple who was on board the flight and we know that a lot of the other families in china are arriving back home after some of them traveling several hundred miles by train or by car, getting back home and now having to sit back in their communities and wait for information. and they're not going to have the 24/7 support network they

had before. there's a hotline to call to get updates, they're sending text messages and e-mails the airline is but this is a new phase for them and so many unanswered questions. >> will ripley we appreciate the clarification this morning, thank you. there are more than 200 other families who have many questions and few answers, the families are in nigeria as hundreds of nigerian school girls were ripped from their classrooms, possibly taken as child brides. >> here is the thing, the government is facing some really harsh criticism over the lack of any action in this case. we'll taking you live to nigeria for a report next. with diabetes, it's tough to keep life balanced.

[male announcer] glucerna... as a police officer, i've helped many people in the last 23 years, but i needed help in quitting smoking. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise.

a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away, as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood-vessel problems or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping, and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a nonsmoker, but i do now. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. but i do now. explaining my moderate to severe so there i was again, chronic plaque psoriasis to another new stylist. it was a total embarrassment. and not the kind of attention i wanted. so i had a serious talk with my dermatologist about my treatment options. this time, she prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability

african lives matter. african lives matter. >> what you're hearing and seeing there are just some of the thousands around the world rallying in support of more than 200 school girls who have been kidnapped in nigeria. it's widely believed the anti-western group boca haram is responsible. the group has not yet taken any responsibility for it. >> true. in the meantime secretary of state john kerry is saying that the abductions, this crime is unconscionable and he's pressuring nigeria's government to act and act quickly.

aisha, is the president answering any of the questions or criticism about the country's lack of action? >> reporter: hi there, christi and victor. that's what is truly baffling in all of this, that some 276 girls as we're told that number which fluctuated in the days since they were abducted, 276 girls abducted and not any significant statement from the president of my jaer why, no on camera statement and to the best of our knowledge no visit on the part of the visit to the area where these abductions happened and no significant paper statement put out. there has been radio silence. the people on the ground in nigeria are outraged they could be in the midst of this tragedy that has struck at the collective heart of this country and their president has been largely silent. lot of people have said to me

president obama of the united states something like boston happens and he's immediately on screen. he's making his way to the area of the tragedy. he is there with his people visibly suffering with them. that has not been the case here in nigeria and we have had little or no details about the operations or what effort is under way to secure the release of these girls. >> we're just feeling for those families. isha sesay, thank you so much. after a weekend of the deadly clashes in eastern ukraine the country may be one step closer to civil war. this morning, russia is blaming the government in kiev for targeting the pro-russian separatists. >> let's bring in "state of the union" host candy crowley in washington. i bet a lot of people are watching this wondering is this playing into putin's hand, does escalating violence give him the excuse he needs to invade ukraine? >> it certainly is the thought of a growing number of analysts

and also some within the u.s. government that the fact that the violence has increased and the fact that you're hearing those in the russian government saying gosh, we're getting an awful lot of calls for help from inside eastern ukraine, that this is the excuse, this increased violence that putin feels that he needs to go in there, not that he needs an excuse in crimea. nonetheless there's also the thought that he really doesn't want to go this far. so you can find both viewpoints in washington right now. number one, that he would prefer to just foment unrest inside ukraine without sending russian troops over and those who think that he's fomenting it simply so he can move russian troops in. >> candy thank you very much. i understand you have u.s. ambassador to ukraine jeffrey pyatt on show. catch that interview on "state of the union" at 9:00 a.m. eastern. candy, thanks. so as we switch gears here,

comedian joel mchale did he take jabs at president obama last night. >> as it turns out, no one was safe. >> between rob ford, justin bieber and ted cruz, you just want to tell canada, hey, hey, relax, we already have a florida. >> the zingers kept coming and we've got more for you. woman: this is not exactly what i expected. man: definitely more murdery than the reviews said. captain obvious: this is a creepy room. man: oh hey, captain obvious. captain obvious: you should have used hotels.com. their genuine guest reviews are written by guests who have genuinely stayed there. instead of people who lie on the internet. son: look, a finger. captain: that's unsettling. man: you think? captain: all the time. except when i sleep. which i would not do here. hotels.com would have mentioned the finger.

we've got one last laugh for you from last night's white house correspondents dinner. >> comedian joel mchale taking aim at president obama. >> good evening, mr. president. or as paul ryan refers to you, yet another inner city minority relying on the federal government to feed and house your family. it's good to see that white house press secretary and boy detective jay carney is here. it's a big night for jay. i haven't seen him this nervous since the president told him "just go out there and tell them the website's broken. they'll understand."
