in exchange, the u.s. is sending five senior taliban detainees from guantanamo bay to qatar which helped broker this deal. these are some images obtained by wikileaks which match the names released by the u.s. department of defense. the department of defense would neither confirm nor deny their accuracy. the fact bergdahl was released in exchange for five suspects detained at guantanamo does raise concerns for some. >> reporter: it really is no surprise that the taliban have wanted to get and have been able
2:02 am
to get some of their own prisoners released in exchange for bowe bergdahl. this has been one of their key demands. five people being held by the united states in guantanamo bay. they wanted them released. they've done this with the afghan government. they've done it with the pakistan government. capturing officials, demanding then that their own fighters be released. these five men formerly held in guantanamo bay. one was a former interior minister. one was a former deputy defense minister. one was a former deputy head of intelligence. another one was a governor of several provinces. they were all active during the civil war period in afghanistan where the taliban was trying to take control of the country before 9/11. according to u.s. officials, none of these men are believed to have al qaeda links. this is, perhaps, is why the united states has felt that it could actually hand these men over. they're not being sent back to afghanistan. they're not being allowed to go
2:03 am
free, if you will. they're going to -- they're going to dohar. the qataris will be monitoring them while they're there. the question is, will they get involved in the political aspect of the taliban's still ongoing effort to fight and take control of parts of afghanistan, will they try and enter and get back in the battlefield, will they try and raise funds for that fight. none of that is clear. the responsibility does seem to lie right now with the qataris. no surprise at all the release of bowe bergdahl has come at the cost of releasing five relatively senior taliban figures held in guantanamo bay. nic robertson, cnn, london. meantime a cnn military analyst is praising the way sergeant bergdahl was brought back into u.s. hands. james spider marks calls this a magnificent it speaks about the united
2:04 am
states focus on never leaving a fallen come read behind. it hung with it for five years. the tremendous training and execution of the soldiers to do this transaction in a peaceful, nonhostile way, that's like brain surgery on a ship. it's just a wonderful story across the board. i tell you, there will be cynics out there, we don't negotiate with terrorists. look, this is nothing but a wonderful news story and as an intelligence guy, i have to tell you, these taliban that are going to end up under certain conditions, we'll have a great opportunity to watch them very closely over the course of this next year to ensure their reintegration as the conditions laid down. >> the chairman of the u.s.
2:05 am
house intelligence committee said he's pleased about bergdahl's release. take a look at this republican mike rogers says, quote, this fundamental shift in u.s. policy signals to terrorists around the world a greater incentive to take u.s. hostages. further, i have little confidence in the security assurances. and i have even less confidence in this administration's willingness to insure they're enforced. and now a bit of new information into cnn, a suspect in last week's shooting at a jewish museum in blues sells is now in custody. three people were killed on that day, you're seeing some of the
2:06 am
security footage there. a fourth person is now considered clinically dead. we'll have more on this story as details become available, but that news into cnn, that suspect into the jewish museum is now in custody. outrage continues in india over a brutal crime there, autopsy results confirmed that two girls were strangled. a warning here her report contains images that are very disturbing. >> reporter: from roof tops to walls, still coming to terms with what just happened in their remote village. when we saw the girls hanging the whole village was crying, she said, the teenagers were allegedly gang raped.
2:07 am
it has turned into a high-profile crime scene, you can see the huge media presence over here and this is the mango tree where the two bodies were found hanging. one of the girls were over here on this branch and the other, over there. the girls were cuss since. their mothers still so shocked they can bare icalicallybarical. the girls had stepped away from their homes and gone to the nearby mango grove because there are no toilets at home. a common problem, particularly in rural india that leaves women specially vulnerable. >> in this village of 2,000 people, the majority of homes have no toilets. you can see the open drain,
2:08 am
blaming this lack of facilities for the crime. we went to the police station, but they told us we were disturbing their sleep and told us to get lost, he says. we're from a lower class that's why they didn't help us. the police and the rapist from the same upper class. the girls belong to a group regarded as untouchable. the older girl was this father's only child. he says she wanted to become a doctor. past discrimination, police apat thy, shortage of toilets, violence against women, problems in particular to india, many here are used to living in
2:09 am
difficult circumstances. but this kind of horror is painful even for the most reresilient of people. >> i'm wondering how hopeful they might be that things will or can change considering the officials, the police, were such a big part of why this happened. >> reporter: certainly still a lot of anger there but authorities are acting. in fact, they arrested all three of the rape suspects who have actually already confessed. we're hearing confessed to the rape but not to the murder. but i should mention that confessions can always be restricted in the court of law here. we'll see what happened. all three rape suspects have been arrested on charges of rape
2:10 am
and murder and two police officers have been arrested on the same charges. if they didn't partake in that crime, they have received such a harsh charge because they essentially do not do anything when the parents of the rape victims went to them. they basically told them to go away, that's why they received such a harsh charge. this is a very common problem, particularly in rural india, in smaller communities like this one, the police hold a lot of command, they're essentially the most powerful authority in a way in these smaller communities, that's why people are very, very upset and that's why a federal investigation team has been sent in to take over a case. >> where do they go from here? they believe india's entire
2:11 am
police force needs to be informed. -- reformed. >> well, that's the thing, it's such a massive country, you're talking about a lot of police officials, in cities like deli rape case, lot has been done, police have been receiving a lot of training, more female police officers have been deployed, there's help lines everywhere, again, we're talking about a very rural part of india, in this particular case, so it will take some time, that's what a lot of women's activists have been demanding. particularly this new government. only in power for the past week or so. women's powerment, police in a lot of these cases. all of this become a priority for the government.

2:16 am
can a country engulfed in a civil war hold an election? in damascus it's clear i think at least 70% of the people will be able to vote. i think in every town in syria, the army holds some territory, this man says, so it will be possible for everyone to go to those areas and vote. the opposition of most western countries disagree, they say it's impossible to hold a vote when rebels are holding most of the eastern country. this assad campaign poster says the choice is not yours, the people have chosen you. to portray the president as a reluctant leader only willing to stay in office because syrians need him. a few lawmakers, both of them

2:18 am

2:22 am
flood waters rushing in over the sea wall, filling the streets and up his driveway, but sunset, the water sets to resed. when it's coming that high, what's going through your mind? >> what do i have to take with me? >> reporter: something experts at the national hurricane center hopes doesn't cause complacency. >> my fear is that people have forgotten what it's like. >> reporter: a storm surge expert the storm surge is the deadliest part of the hurricane. this year, they're unveiling their new storm surge graphic showing people how deep the water will be and how far inland the water is expected to go. revised evacuation zones that go must farther inland.
2:23 am
>> evacuation zones are getting bigger because our understanding of hurricanes has improved. >> reporter: storm surges as high as 9 feet above ground in new jersey and new york and that's only a category 1 storm. hurricane andrew, category 5 hurricane. >> we'll have that level of water going in for miles and miles and we'll -- those are the events that will start to diminish these communitiecommun. >> reporter: no one knows when that will be and the derek of the hurricane center all that south florida can do is to live prepared. >> it's fortunate but that fortune is not going to last, hurricanes are going to come back to florida.
2:24 am
>> and as the official start of hurricane season begins, there already something brewing for next week, the meteorologist at the world weather center with that. ivan? >> we're taking a look at a system already this one is interesting, because we have activity in the eastern pacific, of course that season started may 15th, but now today we started the atlantic hurricane season and the reason this is tied because this area of disturbed weather can cross into the gulf of mexico into the next few days and develop into a tropical system as we head into next week. we'll watch this one closely. the national hurricane center has this as a high area as a potential development here. i want to stay here before the forecast on what can happen, because some of that moisture invovld with guatemala has
2:25 am
resulted in incredible amounts of rain. landslide occurring about 300 kilometers north and west of the city in guatemala. rescue workers trying to dig for certainly survivors, couple dozen structures destroyed there. fatalities up to 5 there as a result of very heavy rainfall. this is the rainy season, they can get up to half a meter of water a month easily here and in the last couple of days it looks like they got a lot. they'll continue with a high landslide danger over the next few days. that entire area of disturbed weather will potentially, right, coalesce into a developing tropical system heading into next week, this is next weekend into the following work week, it will do so very slowly here,
2:26 am
interest along the gulf of mexico, it looks like things can get started rather early here as today's the official start. 8 to 13 forecast storms from noaa here. 3 of 6 of those turning into hurricanes. 1 to 2 turning into major hurricanes in the 2014 season which begins today. we have reconnected with our correspondent in brussels, talking to us about the development that a suspect is now in custody in connection with last week's shooting at a jewish museum there. atika, thanks for reconnecting with us. a few indications that this suspect is possible lip linked to syrian jihadi groups perform. >> reporter: yeah, we're still trying to confirm those details. i'm on a train on the way to
2:27 am
brussels. i had a chance to speak with the prosecutor, they have hundreds mostly young men traveling to syria every year here, there are fierce they can come back to conduct attacks. we don't know if that was the case leer, but they do have a suspect under arrest. so, this is definitely -- >> all right, atika, en route to brussels, on a train, having a connection details. atika was saying that officials should update the media today. the sudden release of a u.s. soldier in afghanistan is bringing to mind other americans being held around the world. coming up, are efforts being made to free them as well?
2:30 am
you're in the cnn newsroom this sunday. here's an update on the top stories we're following for you right now. a suspect in last week's shoobt at jewish museum in brussels is now in custody. three people were killed on that day, a fourth person is now considered clinically dead. it's a good day, so said u.s. president barack obama saturday as he and the parents of freed american serviceman bergdahl made a statement at the white house. released by the taliban on saturday after almost five years in taliban captivity. he's expected to be treated at a u.s. medical center in germany. the sister of pakistani woman who was stoned to death in public, she saw the victim's husband commit the crime.

2:32 am
to singapore. >> our primary focus was getting sergeant bergdahl back. we have done that as i said, as president obama said, as a result of the help of a lot of people. and so that's our first focus. whether that could lead to possible new breakthroughs with the taliban, i don't know. hopefully, it might. but, we pursued this effort specifically to get sergeant bergdahl back. >> so what could life now possibly be like for bowe bergdahl.
2:33 am
>> reporter: held captive for five years, it's a fate most of us cannot imagine. it was a reality for bowe bergdahl. we spoke to david rode a former "new york times" reporter kidnapped in 2008. he was moved to pakistan and held for seven months before he managed to escape, scaling a wall and running for his life, he told us that sergeant bergdahl has constantly been in his thoughts. >> he doesn't believe it e's re. one thing that will happen and this happened to me, he'll go to sleep tonight and he'll wake up in the morning on a u.s. base and kind of look around and think, am i dreaming? then he'll realize it's true. >> how long did that last for you? >> for the first several days.
2:34 am
it went on for weeks. it's a magical thing. oh my gosh, it's going to be so difficult to return. but this is the wonderful day for him, to be free, he's so happy right now and again, he deserves so much credit for surviving. >> that was former "new york times" reporter david rohde there. what's interesting here around the world more than a two dozens are being held prison in questionable circumstances. being held by extremist groups or sitting in james in countries that are hostile to the u.s. is the u.s. actively pursuing the release of the other americans? former cia operative bob baer. >> back channels trying to get
2:35 am
these people out. levinson, that's the more difficult one, the fbi unfortunately believes that he's died. as far as cuba, we have a back channel to cuba, we're talking to cuba all the times. i can't call it negotiations. the aid contractor in lahore is being held by al qaeda. all of these situations differ. again, by the way, it's a group that the cia worked with in the '80s. we know people in that group. they're fairly rational and easy to deal with. >> again that was cnn national security analyst and former cia operative bob baer. ukraine has a new president-elect, not clear who's

2:38 am
>> reporter: he said people linked to ukraine's president-elect have suggested talks. they're waiting for the proposals. another leading light in the donetsk, they reject the idea of negotiating with kiev. what can we discuss, he said, when he was a candidate, he was supporting murder against our people. ukraine's about to get a new president. at least for now, this part of the country remains beyond his reach. a company in the u.s. is providing police in some of the world's most dangerous cities with the ability to track criminals from the sky. the surveillance technology is taking off in several major cities. but this is also raising privacy

2:41 am
suspect in real time. dayton, 2012, they get word of a burglary. they track the suspect as he gets away. dayton's police chief said the technology has helped his depleted force. >> police officers are not there to prevent. >> reporter: privacy advocates say this smacks of big brother. >> this creates the opportunity after the fact to look at anybody for any reason. >> we're responding in support of law enforcement to report of crimes only. >> reporter: they closely monitor their analysts to make sure they're only tracking suspects. rose mcnutt said police departments in ten different cities around the world are interested in buying his system to use on an permanent basis. brian todd. >> that's as incredible as it is

2:48 am
>> he also believes that young white men suffering from mental illness are kept afloat longer because of a supportive environment. it seems to be true with elliot rodger according to a family man. >> the shame is that in the end, no one could rescue what had happened on friday night. and what these boys who go out to kill don't understand is that when they murder one they murder many. because they don't just kill the people in gal ler yas and in malls, they kill thousands. >> reporter: sadly, he believes there are more young men out
