those cases solvable. >> newsroom starts that right now. >> hi there. i'm brianna keeler. after weeks of deadly exchanges between ukraine and russian troops, could a cease fire be in the works? the president seems to think so reporting that president vladimir putin and ukraine's president just agreed to discuss a cease fire. the turn around doesn't end there. also came face to face today. a quick and formal chat.
11:01 am
11:02 am
>> jim, did you listen to his speech today? did you listen to his speech in warsaw? >> this is about american leadership and president obama is deeply committed to america playing its unique role of leadership, a role that no other country could match. the question is, we want to know if there was a fly on the wall, do we have any idea of what was said in this meet iing. >> earlier in the day, did not seem possible. seemed like the two leaders are actively ignoring each other.
11:03 am
what d white house is saying is exactly what the white house said he was going to convey when he was asked about the subject. he told putin that he basically needs to do something to deescalate this continuing situation. he needs to recognize the new ukrainian government. and shortly after the meeting, the obama administration says it seems that putin is playing lip service and then he needs to work with the new government. also president obama told him that he needs to stop supporting these armed militias that are still operating in ukraine. he needs to stop arming these armed militias that are still operating in ukraine but that obama said if he does that, if he does take these steps, then the opportunity is still there for some resolution to the situation. that sounds a lot like what we have been hearing for months. is there any movement here? it's hard to tell at this point.
11:04 am
>> there were discussions about finding ways to settle the crisis. there was not much comment at all about the brief meeting with obama, but in terms of the other leaders, he said in particular, meeting with david cameron of the uk, a great deal of attention was given to searching for ways to settle the crisis in ukraine. it's interesting to hear that coming from russia. looking forward to helping
11:05 am
ukraine or working with ukraine. making it seem that it's the fault of ukraine, what has been going on there. they didn't get into those details in their description of the meetings today. but it seems like the most promise comes that the dialogue itself is going on if you can call a ten or a 15 minute conversation dialogue. and that there is at least talk at this point about a possible cease fire. >> and michelle, i wonder, because it sort of reminds me going back to september at the g-20 in russia, obama and putin had a pull aside there. they spoke for only 20 minutes. i remember at the time it seemed like talking past each other. what we realized days later or at least we were told by the kremlin and then by some u.s. officials was that it was there that they actually discussed the solution in a way that is a time for syria.
11:06 am
11:07 am
there needs to be some indication that this is going to lead to action. there is violence in the ukraine. probably as we speak. >> yeah, michelle, thank you so much. and the white house today not backing away from comments that sergeant bowe bergdahl served in afghanistan with honor and distinction. those exact words were used by susan rice. before the controversy erupted over whether bergdahl may be a desserter. rice defended her words in an interview and she warned against trying bergdahl in public.
11:08 am
>> jim, really, this is a young man whose circumstances you don't have to worry about. he is now being tried in the court of public opinion after having gone through enormously traumatic five years of captivity, his parents the same. >> now i want to bring in richard barren, a former counter terrorism director. what's your reaction to this? to susan rice saying that bowe bergdahl is being tried in public? >> certainly he is being tried in public here in the united states. there is a tremendous amount of discussion about whether he led to the death of other members of his platoon and so on.
11:09 am
these are very serious allegations, of course. from the evidence that one can see so far, it seems that he went off base because he didn't belie believe. >> well, and there is a new development today where u.s. official is telling cnn that bergdahl actually tried to escape from captivity two times. if he did try to escape, how does that affect anything? how does that affect this public debate that is going on? >> yes, i have certainly heard a long time before that he did try and escape once and was recaptured. it was news to me that he tried to escape a second time. to exploit the leaving, if you like, his capture, to put
11:10 am
11:11 am
allowed the freedom that bergdahl has had. but clearly they saw bergdahl as somebody they wanted to keep alive so he is healthy, obviously, to remain a barga bargaining chip. since my negotiations began some years ago, clearly his death or illness with it being sincerely hindering the progress of the taliban. >> and richard, we're hearing from time magazine. they talked to taliban commander who suggested that this trading of top taliban leaders, that it is going to inspire the taliban to target other americans. do you think this is going to happen? >> that is hardly a surprising thing. clearly they want to kill them but to capture them would be a very good second best.
11:12 am
two reasons for that. first of all for the problem beg propaganda value. but also, as a way to tell their own troops that what they did was a good thing to have done for the movement. i think there are many people in taliban who would have disagreed with the prisoner exchange. >> thank you very much for splang all of that. >> just ahead, he was prepared for war. a man who drives up to a courthouse, throwing out spike trips, gas grenades and firing shots. police say his home may be boobie trapped. plus hillary clinton revealing where she adisagreed when she ws secretary of state. 3 million lines of code, 40,000 sets of eyes,

11:16 am
>> dennis marx apparently planned to take hostages with assault rifles. >> the only way i can describe it is a full frontal assault. he came out and threw spike strips out to hold off any response from anybody else. he was shooting through the front of his vehicle. he had weapons, assault rifles, lots of ammunition. he had plastic ties, he had water, a lot of ammunition. he came there for the purpose of
11:17 am
okay e okay pi okay occupying the court. rur i want to bring in correspondent david matingly in atlanta to tell us more about this. tell us more about what the sheriff's deputy did here. >> he has been given a whole lot of credibility as far as preventing the assault that he apparently planned on the court. the way it was described by us was that this deputy encountered this gunman who was in his vehicle as he was approaching the doors of the courthouse. this lone deputy started exchanging gunfire with him, was shot in the leg in the process and was able to delay this man just long enough for other
11:18 am
deputies in the area to swarm the area and take this man down. just into cnn, some very dramatic audio from the police scanner traffic. let's listen to that right now. >> i don't have any visual. we have pepper gas going off at the front entrance. >> he's down, he's down. >> you can hear all of it just as it's playing out in the audio. >> he apparently had been preparing for this assault for days but he did not prepare for the deputies who were at the door, the ones in the jail and then the county swat team was
11:19 am
also nearby. they were able to respond in about 30 seconds. so that one deputy delayed him just long enough and the rest of the deputies made sure that man did not carry out his plan. >> they said that they think his house may be boobie trapped. is that true? >> we don't have word yet. there is a lot of red flags that they are dealing with. he had a lot of ammunition on him. he was apparently preparing for this for several days. he had not been at the house for at least ten days. add all of that up together and police are saying he may have had something prepared to take live lives. deputies and police are even through the grounds around the house so they are proceeding with a lot of caution.
11:20 am
this man's plan did not play out and a lot of lives were saved today but the actions of that deputy and his fellow deputy. >> it's not over yet. we certainly wish those officers safety as they go through the house. in seattle, a student security guard is being called a hero. police are convinced that if john had not used pepper pray and knocked aaron down, there would have been more bloodshed thursday afternoon. police say he also had a knife on him when he confronted three people inside the science building at the christian school and shot them. >> we all got scared and we went up to the front of the classroom and sat on the floor and then we
11:21 am
started looking at phone and social media and news and that's how we found out what was going on. about 30 minutes later the police came and unlocked the door and let us out. we saw blood splatters on the wall and they checked our bags and let us out two by two. >> a 19-year-old male died and a short time ago we got an update on how who other victims were doing. >> we have our 24-year-old male who is here currently in satisfactory condition. i just talked to him. he is not doing interviews, still coming to grips with what happened. obviously a lot of dpla and shot with this whole incident. then we have a 19-year-old feel. she remains critical but stable.
11:22 am
>> police have not said what the motive was police sources tell them that he was obsessed with the columbine shootings. >> the job market hit a milestone but many americans don't feel like they have hit a recovery. we have got a neek peek. she admits her biggest mistake in the book. we will talk about what that is in just a few minutes. stay with us.
11:26 am
11:27 am
hiring. 16% of people think it's not going to recover at all. long term unemployed, that is still a problem in the market. 12.2% are underemployed. they would like to be working full-time. they would like to be working not temporary. they would like to be working not temporary jobs. look, last year and the year before, you are still competing against each other in the job market. we're not there yet. it will be a few more years to go before we get full employment. >> thank you. and just ahead, hillary clinton admits her biggest mistake.
11:28 am
11:29 am
11:30 am
11:32 am
>> obama and putin talked about ten to 15 minutes at a lunch marking the anniversary of d day. today world leaders gathered to commemorate d-day. >> by daybreak, blood soaked the water. bombs broke the sky. thousands of paratroopers had dropped in at the wrong landing sites. thousands of rounds bit into flesh and sand.
11:33 am
>> well, we are getting a glimpse inside of hillary clinton's book, hard choices. it comes out officially on tuesday and also could michelle obama be setting up for a senate run? let's talk it all out with the chief washington correspondent for washington news. so, cbs news got an advanced copy of her book. they posted several excerpts online. let's talk about iraq, first. this is what she says.
11:34 am
as the war dragged on, with every wiletter that i sent to a family in new york, my mistake became more painful. i thought i had acted in good faith and made the best decision i could. i wasn't alone in getting it wrong but i still got it wrong plain and simple. to you first, did she need to do this? >> she did. what you still hear from democrats even today, even years after she lost the 2008 democratic presidential nominating process in part because she voted in favor of the iraq war. you still hear democrats who point to her vote as a negative against hillary clinton. >> so you see this as her protecting her left flank, which obviously obama was so able to target during 2008. >> absolutely. what we have seen with hillary clinton getting attacked from the left on economic issues like you see in the white house.
11:35 am
interventionalist foreign policy. i think that's what we are seeing here. >> okay. let's talk about where she is highlighting a very clear difference that she had with president obama when she was secretary of state, syria. she disagreed with him on whether to arm moderate factions of rebels. the risks of both action and inaction were high. both choices would bring unintended consequences. it would not take the significant further step. no one likes to lose a debate, including me, but this was the president's call. i mean, guys, we sort of know that she is more hawkish than president obama. that was the role that she served in this cabinet. why is she doing this? does she need to do this to
11:36 am
position herself in this way? >> she has to explain her differences with the president. there is no way falling on eight years that if she decides to run for the white house that she can embrace that whole hog. there have been a lot of criticisms. that took place after she left. that is something that you hear from the right and left. moderates, partisans alike saying when you draw a red line and you have got to do something about when it's violated. that criticism comes from both sides this is her attempts to differentiate herself from president obama so she pretty much had to do that. >> when you look at that, is this a safe area politically to distance herself? >> it's sort of safe. but i think it's necessary more than that. i think she has to arrive to a point of rebuttal, i call it a
11:37 am
prebuttal. it tees criticism that she expects to face if she runs in 2016. she is anticipating them and that is definitely one that she is undeniably going to face if she runs. >> you have read the excerpts. cbs has gone through the whole book. these were the best parts that they have certainly pulled. i have read living history, her first memoir. and i notice in the excerpts something that i noticed with living history. it's so cautious. this is not what you would call a page turner. is she, do you think, is there a problem? that this is not maybe a super engaging book for the reader? >> you don't realize it's not engaging until after you buy it. she's certainly going to sell a lot of these. you see this with any campaign book, really, these are never page turners whether you're running for office.
11:38 am
you only see somebody write a really engaging book. that's when the books are juicy. they are great nuggets. that was a page turner. this one is holding it all back for the next book. i think she is so well known by the public that she probably doesn't need to write something like dreams from my father. this book just fits her needs. she is addressing the criticisms head on. there are a couple of interesting nuggets rb ud not a page turner.
11:39 am
and coming up, we are getting word that a team of americans is standing by read ary to bring bowe bergdahl home. find out what has to happen before his return. plus i will be speaking to a psychologist about how bergdahl's parents should interact with him once he's back. then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going to have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagine how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ humans. we are beautifully imperfect creatures

11:43 am
sergeant bergdahl almost from the very beginning. you want to make sure he is not suddenly shown strange faces. no timetable as yet. we know it will not happen today. >> already. thanks for the information. i want to bring in a psychologist who is also a combat stress coach. so the bend gone says bergdahl is speaking in english. he is participating more in his recovery treatment. can you give us some insight into how he is being reintegrated? >> it's tricky. being captive for five years we don't know what he has been through. post-traumatic stress is multilayered. so, you know, i'm sure they are
11:44 am
trying to be very, very gentle with him to make sure that he can acclimate as simply and quietly as possible. this is really a gentle case. they need to be gentle and patient. how do his parents and friends need to interact with him. >> you really need to be attentive. do a lot of listening and aff m affirming, caring and loving. i kind of take this on like if someone lost a physical limb in combat and they came back missing a limb, that is pretty option. we don't always realize that there is things missing in his life. it's going to take a lifetime to
11:45 am
fill those gaps. they have got to be patient and loving and listening as his life unfolds from here. one of the things that is pretty interesting. a u.s. official telling cnn that bergdahl is able to talk to his family. is that something that surprises you? >> no, that's not uncommon. you know, it would just he has been in his own mind and world for all of these years. everybody is going to have to really take steps back and put gloves on to really take care of this. >> what are army officials and medical officials there in
11:46 am
germany what are they waiting to see from him before they are going to say okay, you can go back home now? >> the standard process is we don't know if he has been drugged over periods of time. his nutritional, you know, situation so when everybody is comfortable and signs off that he is, you know, as close as we can get him to right now none of us really know what he has gone through. >> what's the long term here. it's a loss. it's like losing someone compounded multiple times. you don't really get over those
11:47 am
situations. you learn to live with it. he is going to learn to live with and adapt to his new world based upon what happened to him regardless of how he got there or what took place it's going to be a long road of slow recovery. he's coming home to people that love him and he will be taken care of. >> i'm sure they are getting some of the help they need. terry, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> you can see the special on bergdahl. taking a look at who he was before the war. >> a horse could be the first to win the triple crown in many years. you don't want to miss a horse's eye view. >> verizon wireless has filed a cease and desist lawsuit against netflix. what could that mean for you? we have that next. she's still the one for you.
