frivolous. it's give what you can. give what you can. >> she looked good, too. >> win-win. that's "the good stuff." time for "newsroom" with ms. carol costello. >> thanks so much. "newsroom" starts now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com good morning. i'm carol costello. thanks for joining me. plans for american help in nigeria are now in motion. right now the pentagon is working out options on how to help nigeria rescue nearly 300 school girls held hostage by terrorists there. barbara starr has the latest development ts. cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes is on the phone with us. barbara, what are the plans? >> reporter: a senior u.s. military official told me a short time ago, and i want to give everyone the specific wording. here is what the official said. the pentagon has initiated planning efforts to determine

how we can offer options for support of the nigerian government in the current situation. so that's a big clue here about what is going on behind the scenes, planning options for support. don't look for boots on the ground, so to speak. don't look for u.s. military operations on the ground. what we are talking about is how to offer the nigerian government the support, the help that it needs to get these girls rescued if that is even possible. some of the examples that are under discussion with the military and the intelligence community are intelligence sharing, investigation help, hostage experts, not really included at this point, expected to include rescue mission personnel. don't look for special forces on the ground kicking doors down so to speak. all of this is coming from the center of the effort, the u.s.

embassy in nigeria. there have been military intelligence, law enforcement personnel there, they work out of that embassy all the time. the president talking about putting this coordination cell in place. that will build on what the embassy already has going on. of course, the bottom line, carol, it is up to the nigerian government to agree to accept any help that the u.s. offers. this is a sovereign nation. it is a very proud government there. the u.s. can offer the help. the nigerian haves to accept it. >> u.s. boots on the ground, not in the picture. let's ask tom fuentes this question, some are calling for u.s. to go in and rescue these girls. why might it be a good thing, that u.s. special forces won't have boots on the ground in nigeria? >> reporter: carol, that's a question for the military and whether they can safely rescue these girls or whether an attempt to rescue them might

actually get them all killed. that's a military issue. as far as personnel on the ground, the fbi has two offices in nigeria. the main office in the u.s. embassy in abuja. they've already been there to provide assistance to deal with boka haram which has been battling the nigerians and the people in the local areas out there for the last decade. so the fbi is already there, already providing assistance and is in the position that it can provide much more, send in more personnel if it's deemed appropriate. again, as barbara mentioned, she's exactly right, that's really the basic thing in this, what kind of assistance will the nigerians allow? it's one thing to say find u.s. and give us assistance. they have to allow every single person that's going to arrive to helper mission to actually come in and do it in addition to who are already there full time.

the fbi has two full-time offices already in nigeria. it's goings to be up to the nigerians. they seem to be asleep at the switch here for the last three weeks in trying to figure out what they want to do about this whole issue. they have to be pressured by the entire world to appear to even want to respond to this. >> that pressure is being felt in nigeria. we'll talk about that. barbara starr, tom fuentes, many thanks for your input, as the united states works to help out how to help rescue these girls. nigeria's defense minister is defending his country's actions. in an exclusive interview with cnn's isha sesay. >> this place is under a state of emergency. the government said they would crush boka haram. instead what we have seen is 200-plus girls are missing. this without a doubt undermine

it is nigeria government's claims they can beat broke ha haram. >> you let me understand, in pakistan which has been in insurgency for more than ten years, there's been insurgency for the last ten years . >> cnn is doing its part to put pressure on the nigerian government to help these girls. even as nigeria is bowing to pressure and finally accepting washington's offer to send help, new details are trickling out about other terrorists snatching other girls. gunman going door-to-door

rounding up eight girls between the ages of 12 and 15. we're now hearing from the parents of the abducted girls who have been afraid to speak out. let's head to nigeria's capital and check with cnn's vlhave duthier sufrnlths. >> reporter: we're learning more about what this reign of terror is like that boka haram since 2009. we spoke to a family who risked their lives to come forward and talk to us because they want the world to know what they are dealing with, what they have been suffering through, what they have been going through since their girls were taken on april 14 when these armed assailants burst into their classroom in the middle of the night and hauled them away to god knows where. >> when i went into the school compound, nobody will ever

understand it. you will see their dresses cut out all over. the hostel and the dormitory, everything was burned to ashes. so the woch man told us that they had gone with our daughters. we couldn't believe him. >> describe for us what life is like living in chiba with the threat of the islamist insurgency there? >> life is very dangerous in chiba right now. since on 14th of april, to date we don't sleep at all. >> you don't sleep at home. >> we don't sleep at home. around, five, six people disappear into the bush because there is no security. there is no security. >> you sleep in the bush? >> we sleep in the bush with all our little ones. life in chiba, we have no hope. >> reporter: have you seen any large groups of soldiers, any

kind of search and rescue operation that you can tell is meant to bring your daughter? >> when i'm hearing this over the media even it provokes me. the federal government, all the rulers are playing with we parents. they are looking at us as we are fools. had it been there is military men who went into the bush to rescue our daughters, we would have seen them. why can't they bring military men and ask even one person, we would show them where our daughters are. >> reporter: when you saw that video of abubakar shekau, what did you think? >> when i hear the story, most of us mothers, we started crying because we have nobody to help us. our daughters have been abducted

or captured as slaves. now since that day we cannot even eat. she is pleading let them release these girls. they don't know probably, one of them are born a president, a doctor, a pastor or a lawyer who will be helpful to the country. please let him release them. >> reporter: there you have it, carol, this family is just one family in sheba. there are over 200 families going through exactly what this family is going through, having to sleep in the bush because you are too afraid to sleep in your own beds. whenever they hear any commotion, any noise outside, they run out into the bush. the mother's heartfelt plea to abubakar shekau to please return their daughters to them. at this point, carol, it's not clear if that's going to happen.

>> vladimir, thanks so much. we'll continue to follow this story in just 30 minutes, i'll talk with the woman who starred the rallying cry to bring back our girls. i'll also talk to the deputy director of "girl rising" a cnn special documentary about the struggle of young women around the world to get an education. >> if you stop me, there will be other girls who rise up and take my place. i am change. i am my own master now.

the search for missing malaysia airlines flight 370 is sbrerg a new stage. today officials from malaysia, china are meeting. one thing they do know, from her the search only becomes more difficult and much more expensive. in the meantime, a new cnn/orc poll shows americans will split on whether or not we'll ever know what happened to that plane with 46% saying it will remain an enduring mystery. joining me to discuss things, cnn safety analyst david soucie and former ntsb managing director peter goelz. welcome, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> i'll pose the first question to you, david. will this plane ever be found? >> i believe it will. you can't let this mystery be unsolved. without it, will we ever get confidence and fly

internationally? we have to know what happened in order to be confident in our air system at all. >> i must admit when i fly and i fly every other weekend, i think about that. i think about the pilot and whether he's okay and whether he can fly my plane and if he's psychologically sound. i do think about that. >> that's right. the industry has to search until they find this aircraft. we have to figure out what happened. it's going to take a long time. we've indicated that on cnn that this was going to be months if not years from the beginning. we're now into a very long, tough stage. >> david, 66% of poll respondents said they believe the pilots or creigh members were involved in the plane's disappearan disappearance. the malaysian authorities have cleared all the passengers, cleared the crew as far as i know, but not the pilot and copilot. have they done a thorough

investigation of these people? >> i think they have. how can you vet someone before -- it's very difficult for that. i see this as one of the least likely scenarios, i really do. you'd have to have two pilots working together. at that time you don't leave the cockpit. when you're changing in one control area to oorkts you don't leave the cockpit. that's when they're both there. that would be a very unlikely time for them to be separated which is typically when that type of scenario occurs. >> interesting. peter, what do you think? >> david and i disagree on this. david continues to look ske skeptically at the lithium batte batteries. i think there's no explanation outside of the cockpit that explains how the plane behaved

as it did. the truth s we simply don't know. all our energies ought to be focused solely on figuring out where this plane is and how to get the wreckage back to help solve the problem. >> on the subject of the lithium batteries, the fol shows that people are split on whether mechanical failure could be to blame. >> but they are by design, they did come from the cockpit, they of human hand. the question is why? what was the pilot trying to do. was the pilot trying to avoid further fatalities or damage to other people on the ground by staying over the water this entire time? that makes sense to me. was it not only lithium batteries? there's a directive against the oxygen tank which is right underneath the radios. if something had happened there, it would have taken the radios out. again, peter and i are torn back and forth on this. we don't know. we're simply speculating at this

point. >> peter, nearly 70% of respondents say malaysia's government has done a very bad job of managing the search. i think they're right about that. things are supposedly about to change. do you think in the end australia will take charge of this investigation? >> i think malaysia cannot give up overall control. but i think they're going to work with china and australia and the united states, divvy up responsibility, map out from most lickly to least likely the areas of the ocean they've got to search and then bring in the right equipment and do it. it's going to take a very long time. >> a very long time. david, i'll pose the last question to you, the cnn/orc poll found 60% of people say the search should go on. you have to look at things realistically. at some point searchers are going to get really frustrated if they can't find and it's going to become more and more expensive? >> it is.

they're doing things to make it more efficient. they're going back and looking at data making sure it's correct. you don't want to spend time and resources on wild goose chases. i think reorganize, refocus and start using the resources a little smarter is the thing to do at this point. >> maybe that's what they're deciding now. >> david soucie, peter goelz, thank you so much. welcome your insight as always. >> checking other top stories at 19 minutes past the hour, newly released surveillance video may silence skept ticks who didn't believe a 15-year-old boy could survive five hours in a wheel well of the plane. this video shows the teenager dropping out of the plane and onto the tarmac in hawaii. he appears a little woozy. shortly after this he actually talks to one of the ground crew members who was quite surprised by his appearance. the man accused of causing a lockdown at the white house,

with bill clinton nearly brought down the presidency and turned the white house intern into a global bunch line. now she's writing about the scandal for the first time in vivid detail. randi kaye has more on what inspired lewinsky to come forward after ten years out of the spotlight. >> reporter: from the arms of the president to the pages of "vanity fair" magazine, it's been a long road for monica lewinsky. but she's found her voice and she has plenty to say. in her tell-all essay for the magazine, she wrote, it's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress. the world's most famous intern opening up to "vanity fair" about her affair with president clin done, the scandal and what she calls the global

humiliation. now 40, she is determined to have a different ending to her story and hoping to give a purpose to her past. lewinsky says she was inspired to speak out by tyler clemente, the rutgers university student who jumped to his death in 2010. he was humiliating after being caught in a webcam rah kissing another man in his dorm room. lewinsky tells "vanity fair" his story brought her to tears. after her affair, she had strong suicidal temptations. she's hoping to help others in their darkest moments. in her essay, lewinsky dishes on the affair and the ugly aftermath. i, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and president clinton adding it was a conventional relationship, that she was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position. at the time the president tried to protect himself, too. >> i did not having sexual relations with that woman, ms.

lewinsky. but seven months later president clinton spoke to the american people again, this time a different story. >> indeed i did have a relationship with ms. lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. >> reporter: monica lewinsky spoke with abc's barbara walters about that. >> i felt like a piece of trash. i felt dirty and i felt used and i was disappointed. >> reporter: we haven't heard much from lewinsky since then. this interview with larry king on cnn in 2002 was one of her last. >> was there a little, like, flirtatious thing going on? >> sure. there had been this flir flirtation and that was really where it began. that's where it started. from there sort of the -- >> took off. >> the match lit. >> reporter: silent for more than a decade, she's quick to

note in her essay that the clintons did not pay her off to keep her quiet. though she's done little professionally over the years besides promote her own hand bag line, it wasn't for lack of trying. in fact, she can't even get a job. after getting her master's degree at the london school of economics, she told the magazine, because of what potential employers so tactfully refer to as my history, i was never quite right for the position. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> later this hour we'll talk more about monica lewinsky's "vanity fair" article and why one of my guests say we should all stop judging her. i feel that way, too. why do we continue to judge monica lewinsky differently than we judge bill clinton? we'll talk about that in the "newsroom."

most of the time people are shocked when we show them where they're getting the acid, and what those acids can do to the enamel. there's only so much enamel on a tooth, and everybody needs to do something about it now if they want to preserve their teeth. i recommend pronamel because it helps strengthen the tooth and makes it more resistant to acid breakdown. we want to be healthy and strong through the course of our life, and by using pronamel every day, just simply using it as your toothpaste, you know you will have that peace of mind.

good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. this hour american help is on the way for the 200 is school girls abducted by nigerian terrorists. right now the pentagon is working on options on how to rescue the girls before the captors make good on the threats to sell them into sexual slavery. my engineer yeah accepted our help finally. president obama's plan is to dispatch a team of experts including military personnel, experts in intelligence investigation and hostage rescue. however, this american team is not expected to include operatives to actually carry out missions. in other words, no boots on the ground, per se. this team will be based at the

american embassy in nigeria's capital. nigeria's government is urging patience and bristling at accusations that it has exhibited a lackluster response so far. >> we will get them back. >> you have the confidence of the nigerian government, and we will be here to continue to ask questions. >> our military has the expertise. when i say this, i say this with a lot of sense of responsibility. just calm down. give us time. we will bring those girls back. >> at the heart of this incident are the more than 200 girls who have been kidnapped, daughters, sisters, friends, ripped away from their school, from their families. a future once filled with promise now filled with terror, all because they wanted to get an education. the fight for knowledge is something young women around the world struggle for each and every day. last year cnn aired "girl

rising," on the efforts of young girls around the globe including here in the united states to get an education. i'm joined by tara abrahams the deputy director of "gishl riding" and rama moseley who sent a message to the world, bring our girls back. >> your hash tag has resonated so loudly. the president of the united states has offered help to find these girls. is he offering enough help do you think? >> that is really not my job to say. really what i wanted to do was to use social media to get the word out and to say these girls are extraordinarily special and we need to all get involved, and we need to help in urging our governments to step in and help. exactly how they help is up to each of the world leaders to make the decision. but it's extraordinarily important that we rescue these

girls and continue to protect school girls around the world and we say that they are important and that they batter to us. 5% of school girls in nigeria make it to secondary school. these girls were unique and brave. and we need to have them back. we need to continue to protect all the other girls that are in nigeria so they can go to school and have a better future. >> you're right ramaa, the name boka haram translates to what? western education is a sin? tara, you have dealt with this for a long, long time. is this the tipping point. will the international community now think about this issue and act strongly? >> i think we believe so and we hope so. certainly the campaign that ramaa has started around "bring back our girls" and that hash tag, demonstrates the power of an individual with a network who

are connected to another network and the power of that united action is what is going to help us demand from global leaders the action necessary not just to address this situation, but to address the plight of girls around the world. as ramaa said, girls matter, they need to be valued. they should be in school if they would like to be, instead of being married at the age of 10, going to work at the age of 12. that's what we're trying to fight against and campaign for in collaboration with all of our sisters and brothers around the world. >> explain to me this sick mindset of this terrorist group who thinks western education is a sin, who think it's a young woman's role in life to what? have babies, have sex with men? what is their mindset? what are they afraid of actually? >> i think they're afraid that when girls are educated, they'll have power, and we have seen this. when girls are educated, they can transform the world. they marry later, have fur

children. the benefits to educating girls are countless. oftentimes that translates to women having more power. i think this is not the first time that we've seen girls and women being used as weapons of wafr, being trafficked, used as pawns in a political struggle. that's what we have to stop. girls are not there to be these weapons. they're not there to serve at the pleasure or the needs of other groups who would sooner kidnap them than send them to school. >> ramaa, i love the story, you were going to go to nigeria, but your daughter said, mom, i'm afraid, don't go there. that's where you came up with the idea to use social media. how old is your daughter? she's certainly aware of this problem which i think is a great thing? >> my daughter is 11 years old. when i heard about this story on april 23rd, the first thought i had was i'm going to chiba and i

started making arrangements to do that. i send an e-mail to my friends. i told my husband i'm going. he said okay. when my daughter heard, she fell apart and was hysterical and begged me not to go. she asked me to work on this from the united states and try to make a commercial or documentary and to help. i had to sit down and think what are the tools i have here that i can use here to help make a difference. so i just began communicating. i started tweeting to everyone i could think of. i tweeted to president obama, hillary clinton, john kerry. i started facebook campaign called bring back our girls, a facebook page where people could find information. i asked all my friends to change their profile pics and to represent this image that "girl rising" and i created to show the solidarity with the women in chiba who have marched in red. it says "bring back our girls."

i talk every one of my friends and say you have to get involved where this. i have to say that i think what my daughter inspired me to do has been much more powerful than maybe what i could have done if i had flown in, although my heart is still aching and i still wish that i could be there to help and to look for the girlths and comfort the families, right now i'm very busy helping people around the world to find ways that they can get involved, whether it's to write their government leaders, to rally and to protest or to just continue sharing the word because really repression can only exist when people are too afraid or unable to communicate, and what that moment has taught me is that one voice can have power, and that if we use that power to communicate via social media and we tell the world what is going on, then we will be

able to socialize this very important message that school girls in nigeria matter and that they must be rescued. >> you've done great work. we're so proud of you and proud of tara. thank you both for sharing your insights. so appreciated. ramaa moseley, tara abrahams. here at cnn we're not giving up on these girls either. we'll bring you the latest developments. if you would like to help girls worldwide over come barriers to ed kaes kate, go to cnn.com/impact. i'll be back. i'm j-a-n-e and i have copd. i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours.

find her impulse to blame the woman, not only me, but herself troubling. it's not clear why she chose to tell more of her story now, one thing is clear, lewinsky is 40 years old with no husband, no kids and no career. she continues to pay for an affair she had when she was 24 years old. she is the ultimate modern day hester print except she doesn't wear a big scarlet letter because she doesn't have to. we all know. joining me is mel robbins who wrote a cnn op ed that reads in part, quote, yes, affairs and other injectiodiana des discret are immoral. we don't publicly execute people for these everyday offenses between two consenting adults. yet that's what the world did to lewinsky. welcome, mel.

i just find it actually sad that she continues to pay for this affair and bill clinton doesn't. >> at all. he just won the congressional medal last year, for crying out loud. i think she deserves to have the same level of freedom that he does. when you think about the amount of money he makes per speech and how he's gone on with his life, clearly it's been very difficult for her. you and i were just talking about this. she's continuing to pay. there are writers right now, female writers, maureen dowd being one of them, trashing monica lewinsky for talking. i find the trend of women attacking other women just so unbelievably discouraging, carol. >> i know. it's like -- i can't even wrap my mind around it. you said something interesting to me before, that you thought monica lewinsky may have decided to talk out because of a beyonce song. >> for those of you who love

beyonce, she has a song "partition." one of the lines is he monica lewinsky'd all over my plows. hey, beyonce, if you would have been using a verb, it would have been bill clinton'd. she's 40 years old, doesn't have a job, doesn't have a husband. she cannot outrun this thing even when she moves to london. she decided it's time to tell her story. maybe the beyonce album when it dropped in december of 2013 was the final straw. >> maybe because 40 is a milestone in people's lives. maybe she felt i can't beat it so i might as well own it. why not? >> the piece of the story that's so powerful that everybody is going to miss, is they continue to shame her for a mistake she made when she was 24 years old, if people keep focusing on that or the political angle, you're missing the powerful angle. she has something humiliating in

her past like we all do. she's now facing it and finding something positive to do with it. she was telling the world, i was suicidal, i had no hope. then i saw that story about tyler clem mean tea who killed himself after cyber bullying. when matthew drudge dropped the story, not only did i launch him into fame, i became a victim of cyber bullying on a global scale. she's saying i'm going to take what happened to me and use it for good. what i'm going to do is talk to people about it. >> maureen dowd calls her out and calls it disingenuous to bring up tyler clemente's name in all this. >> isn't maureen dowd doing the same? isn't maureen dowd using the tragedy of the last 16 years and the way monica lewinsky was dragged through the mud to pen an article that ignites controversy, so she gets a lot

"lewinsky, hillary blamed the woman." hillary clinton should have blamed her husband about that. matt drudge isn't writing that headline because he cares two bits about monica lewinsky. >> what matt drudge wants is he makes his money based on how many people click and that's what people do on his site.

that's why he writes the headlines like that. obviously he's always going to do the conservative bend anyway. >> "the daily beast" had this headline. stop slut-shaming monica. >> i agree with that. truth is she made a mistake. the world should move on. maybe by writing this article, monica finally will be able to. the lesson for all of this is that the only way to escape your past and the only way to finally bury your humiliations is to own them and to try to find a lesson in them. if she can help somebody, i applaud that effort. >> i think we should go out and have a drink. >> we should. bloody mary's. >> thanks so much. i'll be right back. atrial fibr, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him

to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding

if you take xarelto with aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto can cause bleeding, which can be serious and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto. once-a-day xarelto means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. for more information and savings options, when sales rep steve hatfield books at laquinta.com, so he knows exactly when he can prep for his presentation. and when steve is perfectly prepped, ya know what he brings? and that's how you'll increase market share. any questions?

good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. the search for that missing plane, flight 370, now entering a brand new stage. today officials from malaysia, china and australia are meeting trying to figure out how the search should move forward.

one thing they do know, from here the search only becomes more difficult and much more expensive. a new cnn/orc poll says americans are split over whether or not we'll ever know what happened to flight 370 with 46 s46% saying it will remain a mystery. will, i want to start with you. what do we know about this next phase in the search? >> we know as you mentioned, carol, it will be greatly expanded. it will be very expensive. most importantly it's going to take a lot of time. let me put this in perspective for you. the bluefin-21 has done 18 dives so far. each dive takes 20 hours and that device has covered 154 square miles. they need to search 23,000 square miles. so clearly the bluefin-21 needs

backup and more technology. some will come from private companies. before that happens, there's a team of experts, the same team that met right here in the initial days after the plane disappeared, members of that team and new members as well are now in australia. you have representatives from the top aviation investigation agencies in the world. you have the satellite company. boeing, the 777 manufacturer. they will meet again in just hours to go over all of the data that they know so far to make sure they still believe that this plane is in that spot in the southern indian ocean and they are about to spend 12 months searching. $60 million. they're also going to map out this area which so far has never been mapped before. this is really unknown territory they are about to explore. >> so that cnn poll i was talking about. 46% say it will remain an

enduring mystery. what do folks doing the actual searching say, will? >> reporter: they believe they are searching in the right place, carol. if you think that we are now tomorrow marks the two-month anniversary of the plane's disappearance, they searched more than 4.6 million kilometers. planes have spent thousands of hours in the air. nothing has been found. you can understand why there is concern and understand why there is skepticism and you have to think of how painful and difficult this is for the families who are stuck in this limbo where they don't know what happened. they don't have any answers. that's what makes this work so important and why it is taking on a sense of urgency two months in. >> david, you do think the mystery will be solved. you do still have hope. >> it has to be solved. it has to be solved for us in the safety community. it has to be solved for the families and for the general flying public. if we don't know what happened to this aircraft or why it happened, how can we say we're safe to travel again?

it's going to always be on people's minds. it's going to be wondering what was this? maybe it was that. it has to continue. we have to put whatever resources necessary to ensure a safe flying public. we really do. >> sounds like that's what we're doing. let's go back to that poll for a second. 66% of poll respondents say they believe pilots or crew members were involved in the plane's disappearance but we know that malaysian authorities have pretty much cleared the crew and the passengers onboard but they're still looking into the pilots. any new information coming out in the investigation above water? >> reporter: you know, we know the royal malaysian police have conducted more than 200 interviews. we don't know the content of those interviews or who they spoke to, they did tell us about a month ago that they have been able to clear at least for now all of the passengers on the plane. as far as we know, they haven't publicly cleared all of the crew members but there is nothing that's stood out. they searched the flight

simulator that was in the pilot's house. that didn't turn up anything. nothing in the pilot or co-pilot's background that would raise suspicion. perplexing to find motivation for someone to do this. the big unanswered question is who was at the controls of this plane when is it made this turn and headed to this area and the big question is why and where is the plane? >> so the poll also says people are just about split over whether mechanical failure could be to blame. david, that's sort of the direction you're going, right? >> well, remember in all of the accident investigations i've ever done and in fact through history, it's never one single event. the public demands this. what happened? did the pilot do this? did the mechanic do this? they want to put a handle on it. so do i. that's my job is to put a handle on it. so in putting a handle on it for me, there was mechanical failures. systems are interdependent on each other.

oxygen system under the radios. radio underneath the pilot. all things are connected together. to think it was a single point of failure isn't what i'm thinking. it had to be many things. to think it was pilots only, i think there were other things involved as well. >> as for today the mystery does endure. david, will, thanks so much. i have a bit of breaking news to pass along to you right now. federal officials from multiple agencies taking down a massive synthetic drug bust that spanned more than 20 states. cnn justice reporter joins me now. the most fascinating part about this story, evan, is where these synthetic drugs came from. >> reporter: a lot of these drugs are brought from asia and this morning the dea and customs and border parole agencies did a big bust in 20 states. in more than 20 states. they say they made over 100 arrests. they were targeting these drugs

called synthetic marijuana and bath salts. the names sound inobjectilike n but they can cause heart attacks to death. these are very serious drugs, carol. >> i guess specifically i was under the impression that most of these synthetic drugs were coming from china. >> china and a few other countries in asia are the source of this. the name sounds not that dangerous. synthetic marijuana. sounds a lot like pot. they say there are dangerous chemicals in here. people don't know what they are taking when they do these drugs and they can be very dangerous. they can cause -- they have caused a lot of deaths and a lot of young people are moving to these drugs despite the fact that regular marijuana has become a lot more readily available and legal in many states. >> evan perez, i know you are

still working your sources on this story. more to come on cnn. thank you so much for filling us. in we appreciate it. still to come, plans in motion for american assistance in nigeria. hundreds of school girls remain hostages of terrorists and the desperate situation shows no sign of ending any time soon. we'll be right back. quiet! mom has a headache! had a headache! but now, i& don't. excedrin is fast. in fact for some, relief starts in just 15 minutes. excedrin. headache. gone.

right now american help is on the way for those 200 school girls abducted by nigerian terrorists. the pentagon is working out options on how to help rescue the girls before the captors make good on their threats to sell them into slavery. in an exclusive interview with cnn, nigeria's information minister brushes off the popular

complaint that his government has so far mustered only a tepid response. >> reporter: this place is under a state of emergency. the government said they would crush boko haram. we see 200 plus girls missing. this undermines the nigerian's claims they can bust boko haram, does it not. >> you are going to have to change your strategy. >> so the united states wants to help but it is getting involved

in all of that. barbara starr is at the pentagon with the latest developments. how does the united states plan to help, barbara? >> this is going to be a very difficult problem. the u.s. wants to help. the president talking about sending that coordination team to nigeria to offer help to the nigerians. they have to be willing to accept it but things are being put into place. make no mistake about it. earlier today a senior u.s. military official told me -- i want to read the words very specifically. he said, "the pentagon has initiated planning efforts to determine how we can offer options for support of the nigerian government in the current situation. options for support." this is support. the issues will not resolve around u.s. troops on the ground kicking down doors so to speak. officials say they are looking at things like intelligence sharing, helping with the

investigation, experts in hostage negotiation. don't expect to see, they tell us, u.s. troops on the ground. all of this -- all of this coordination with the u.s. military, the u.s. intelligence community, u.s. law enforcement, the fbi, all of this basically centers around the u.s. embassy in nigeria which has the sort of nucleus of ability to interact with a nigerian government and talk to them and say here's what we can offer you, can you please accept it? again, it comes back to that fundamental question, carol. once it is offered. once the assistance is offered, will the nigerians take it and how will they find these girls? carol? >> all great questions still unanswered. barbara starr reporting live for us this morning. pass along an unbelievable statistic. one in four kidnappings in the world happen in nigeria. there's a black market for

trafficked woman. zain asher is here with more. >> reporter: i'm from nigeria personally so i grew up there. i spent time in nigeria. what's sad about it is that nobody is immune. the president of nigeria's cousin was recently kidnapped. the finance minister's mother was recently kidnapped. nobody is immune. they will look at you, size you up based on how you speak, how you dress, your race, whether you're black or white, what country you're from, and they'll work out how much they think your family will pay to see you again. a native nigerian can be held for ransom for $100,000. if you're an oil worker, if you're from the western world, you can be held for as much as $200,000 up to several million. they'll hold you ransom until you pay. there are reports of people being held ransom for over a year in nigeria. the situation is out of control. >> talk about this horrible terrorist group that takes all of these girls hostage and they're going to sell them to

whom? >> well, there are reports they will sell them across the border to neighboring countries. the fear right now is that actually they are still in the forest, which is where boko haram has a stronghold and where their camp is. the forest is three times the size of new jersey so looking for those girls in that forest is just an incredible feat. it's an impossible feat. in terms of surveillance, nigeria doesn't have the same capabilities as the united states in terms of wiretapping and a data base in terms of tracking and catching terrorists. >> we offer those things and nigeria has been slow to accept our offers of help. i don't understand that. >> the president of nigeria, goodluck jonathan, the nigerian population is upset with him because he waited three weeks to talk about this. the boko haram kidnappings and

killing happen so often that it is like they are numb to this because they see it happen so often. only because the western world is putting international pressure on him that he is finally taking steps to change things. >> just from a personal perspective because it must hurt you when you look at what happens in your native country right now, what goes through your mind? >> for kidnappings on a personal note, my uncle was kidnapped several years ago, three years ago. now, we're from a region of nigeria in the south. opposite end of the country from where boko haram's stronghold is. he was kidnapped and pulling into his driveway. people hit him over the head. drove him for five hours in the middle of the night and then the car broke down and kidnappers panicked and let him go. it happens so often in my country. kidnapping, one in four

kidnappings in the world happens in nigeria. the situation is out of control. with terrorism or kidnappings, the root of it is always poverty. that needs to be dealt with. >> thank you for sharing your story. the outcry on social media to get these girls home just keeps growing and growing. ireports are pouring in with videos demanding action. >> we need people out there, the u.s. government, the united nation and cnn and everybody to try to get in touch with the nigerian government to know what is happening about the whereabouts of these missing girls. >> the outrage on twitter also ramping up with photos and tweets posting to hash tag bring back our girls. nancy pelosi tweeting i support the president's decision to help

a team to help nigeria bring back our girls. we cannot rest until these girls are returned safely. fear of education for girls in any country condemns the future of that country. why hurt your own future? and the senator from new hampshire wrote boko haram's abduction of more than 200 girls in nigeria and we demand and pray for their safe release. we won't give up on those girls and we'll bring you the latest developments as this story unfolds. if you would like to help girls worldwide trying to overcome barriers to education, you can go to our website, cnn.com/impact. still to come in the "newsroom," cleveland kidnapping survivor michelle knight reveals she had a baby with ariel castro. >> the baby came out not breathing. and at the point in time i knew what he said. the baby didn't come out

she got blankets. she got basically whatever she wanted except for home. >> why do you think that was? >> he had a fascination with her more than me. >> was that physical? >> more unlikely she was the wife type of person. i was a punching bag. >> michelle's captor often talked about getting yet another girl and almost a year after amanda was taken, he did just that. >> gina's family spent the last three days posting missing flyers. >> on april 22nd, 2004, he abducted gina dejesus and soon after michelle and gina were chained together in that boarded up room. >> when we were sad and we got knocked down by things that he said, we would tell each other, you know, it's okay. one day it would be over.

we would try to encourage ourselves to keep hope that we would go home even though sometimes we didn't feel like we were. >> hope was hard to come by until december 2006 when michelle was forced to deliver amanda berry's daughter, joycelyn. >> it was so amazing to bring a new life into the world but it was also traumatic at the same time. >> you write that you saved the baby's life. >> yes. the baby came out not breathing. and at the point in time i knew what he said that if the baby didn't come out breathing, i'll kill you. >> he told you he would kill you if the baby didn't survive? he wanted that baby born? >> yes. >> who did he consider his family? all of you? >> yeah. but i was the traitor of the

family. >> the tough one? >> yep. >> you smile when you say that. that was important to you to remain defiant. >> yeah. >> now it's a source of pride that you remain defiant? >> yeah. >> explain that. >> all my life i was made to feel insecure, like i was worthless. for the first time in my life i stood up to a person that was a demeaning person and it felt good to stand up for myself because i never did before. >> she is now. she's amazing. part three of anderson's cooper's interview with michelle knight airs tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. about his car loan didn't start here. it began way, way back.

"american idol" winner clay aiken is waiting to hear if he won a congressional primary. he received 40% of the vote narrowly edging out an opponent but for now the race is too close to call. it's been a rough year so far for retail giant target. i think that's an understatement. stock price is down more than 8% since december's massive data breach that exposed millions of shoppers' personal information. on monday the chairman and ceo stepped down with the cfo temporarily taking the reigns. you talked to him exclusively. i imagine he has a tough road ahead. >> he certainly does. he's stepping in after the surprising departure we talked about on monday of the ceo at the company for 25 years. the first question i got is have you got to the bottom of what caused this massive data breach.

110 million people affected. they are still investigating internally. they are close to being at the end of that investigation but they still don't know and this ended in mid december. it gives you a sense of the scale. i can also say that we talked a lot about consumer safety because people want to trust and know that their data is safe at target if they use their credit card, debit card, et cetera. here's part of that exchange. many people might scratch their heads when you say we haven't got to the bottom of what happened, we're working on it but customers are 100% safe shopping at target with their debit and credit cards. how do you know that? >> guests can shop with confidence. last week we talked about the significant remediation steps we've taken starting with bringing in a new chief information officer but beyond that as i said we've increased significantly our anti-virus protection putting in place

tools like white listing so only sales on our point of sale systems can run there. we hardened our perimeter and taken significant steps beyond that and we're accelerating our chip and pin technology so we have made significant progress in remediation and our guests can shop with confidence today. >> we're going to know in a few weeks if those guests are trusting target again and coming back. earnings will come out. we saw sales fall 2.5% after this happened. they got downgraded after a major rating agency. spent tens of millions of dollars on this. it's been a big blow but he indicated that things are turning around for them. >> if i was the new cio, chief information officer, i would put out an ad on television everywhere touting my new security measures i have in place so shoppers can feel safe. >> maybe they will. >> maybe i'll pass that along to them. i was curious, did he admit to you that the ceo stepped down because of this breach? >> no. that's a question that i asked him as we talked about on monday

greg steinhafel refinsigned. was this mishandled? why did he leave? >> he said this was a decision between greg and the board and that's where they left it. i will say that this is something that so many companies are facing. neiman marcus went through it. how they deal with this and regain consumer trust is front and center. we know the whole retail landscape is changing and proof is in the pudding it could happen to a company like this. a big company with sophisticated technology to prevent this and affect 110 million people. i think that people need to buckle up and be aware that this can happen. they still don't know exactly what caused it. >> that's the scariest part actually. poppy harlow, thanks so much. a teenage stowaway that survived five plus hours in a

plane's wheel well could face charges. newly released video shows the teenager after the flight. you see him stumbling on the tarmac after he came out of that wheel well. it seems like he did. dan simon is following the story from san francisco. tell us more. >> reporter: the boy is back in california but he spent several days in a maui hospital. when you look at the video, it matches what we heard from the beginning that he appears to be stumbling and looks disorientated after coming out of that wheel well. this newly released surveillance video shows someone emerging from the rear of the plane. authorities say it's the 15-year-old california stowaway coming out of the wheel well of the boeing 767 that landed in hawaii. moments later it appears the young man is dazed as he walks on the tarmac. >> you can see he's affected by 5.5 hours above 30,000 feet. he staggers around.

>> reporter: the boy continues walking until he gets past the stairs of the jet way. eventually you see him talking with an airport worker wearing a yellow vest. if there were any lingering doubts about the young man's story, this video should put that skepticism to rest. >> from what i know of, he was a really shy person. he didn't talk a lot. he mostly kept to himself. >> reporter: the reserved high school sophomore told investigators he was trying to get to somalia to see his mother and had no clue where the plane was headed. it's believed that he hopped a fence at the san jose airport shortly after 1:00 a.m. on april 20th and stayed on the grounds for nearly seven hours before the plane took off. medical experts say the lack of oxygen and subzero temperatures at high altitude put the boy in a state of hibernation. >> he may not have needed as much oxygen. that may be how he survived. >> he's now back in california and in the custody of child

welfare officials. local police want to conduct another round of interviews. they tell us they haven't ruled out charges. if it's anything, it would be trespassing. his disorientating journey would have been punishment enough. it's not clear when or if the boy is going to be returned to his family and it's also not clear if he's going to have any lingering medical issues going forward. back to you. >> what about these possible charges? what could they include? >> right now they're just talking about trespassing which is a misdemeanor in california. he's a juvenile so it's unclear if he would receive some kind of juvenile detention or a possible fine but pretty minor charge at this point. >> seems to be a very troubled teen. dan simon, thanks so much. republican house speaker john boehner talks about the benghazi committee promising "it won't be a circus."

with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures.

the house judiciary committee is set to pass a bill limiting the nsa's ability to store massive amounts of call data. investigators could get access to it if needed. just moments ago republican house speaker john boehner talked about the special investigative committee on the benghazi attacks and he insisted his new committee is not going to be a circus. dana bash live in washington. do you believe him? >> reporter: well, a lot of it depends on what's going to happen with the other side, meaning the democrats. before we get to that, we should note that the reason why john boehner says he's relenting in giving in on this select committee, which he opposed for many, many months, is because he says the white house withheld the information in e-mail we reported about last week that came to light from the deputy national security adviser to susan rice.

republicans say pushing her to be more political than she should have. when it comes to the select committee which they will vote on forming in the full house tomorrow, john boehner did feel the feneed to explain it's not witch-hunt. it's going to be fair. listen to what he said. >> it was time for us to bring this together into one place and to focus our efforts. this is all about getting to the truth. this is not going to be a side show. not a circus. this is a serious investigation. our system of government depends on transparency and accountability. we owe it to the future of our country and to the next administration to do our job and to make it clear that the types of activities that may have gone on here are not acceptable in our system of government. >> reporter: he's talking about the fact it won't be a side show or a circus, he's talking

primarily at this point to democrats in the house. we are waiting to find out whether they're going to participate or boycott this select committee all together. they have been meeting -- house democratic leaders -- to try to answer that question among themselves. where they are now is they're trying to press house republican leaders to make the makeup of the committee and the process which which the committee is going to investigate more equitable and bipartisan than it is right now. they want -- democrats want to be in the process, in the deciding process, on subpoena power and stuff like that. right now it's unilateral power that republicans are going to have. it seems as though hearing from republican sources on capitol hill that republicans are not likely to give in. they're not likely to change the structure and give into democrats demands to make it more equitable and if that is the case, it's going to be democrats who are going to have

to decide whether or not it is better for them to boycott and just say this is a partisan investigation. we don't want to be any part of it. not be part of the yelling, if you will. they think that independent voters out there are very upset with or whether they think it's better to be in the room and be a part of it in order to beat back some of the allegations. >> the makeup of this committee, seven republicans and five democrats, right? >> reporter: that's right. what's interesting is that talking to several democratic sources, they're not as upset about the fact that it's not a balanced ratio, that it's not, you know, 5-5 or whatever it would be. it's more about the process. it's more about the fact that they don't feel that they're going to have as much say as they need to have to make it a really balanced investigation when it comes to subpoena power and so fort. one other note i want to mention, which i think is a big

dynamic in democrats decision making process here, they have their election in november. midterm election. they need to look out for themselves. talked to sources who say, i mention independent voters, independent voters are fed up with screaming and yelling in washington and if democrats participate, independent voters might see them as part of that. if democrats don't participate, then perhaps those independent voters who are possible going to vote democratic might take another look at the democrats. that's part of the calculation politically that they are thinking about. >> i wish the calculation was just getting at the truth. wouldn't that be a nice change? dana bash, thanks so much. we're back after a break. we've never sold a house before.
