channel and i knew we were going to go in face the enemy, and it was on my mind. i says, well, either i make it or i don't. >> the front went down and we jumped into the water, the water was up to our necks weep weren't the first troops. infantry was first. we were to follow the infantry, and the bodies were all over the place. >> first thing i had in my mind was death. i was in the back, there was a lot of guys all around me, they were floating in the water. >> we fought on until 3:00 that morning. we took a rest for -- i think it was two hours. as soon as it started getting daylight we took off again. >> and we defeated the germans. i mean, undermanned, we had to do what we had to do and that's what we did. and i'll tell you one thing, the american guys did a good job.

you're in the "cnn newsroom." i'm poppy harlow in for my good friend don lemon. looking to the week ahead. take a look at story you'll be talking about, hearing about this week. let's begin with our five questions ahead for this week. question number one, when will sergeant bergdahl come home? what kind of reception will he get when he eventually gets here? as he recovers in germany, bergdahl wants to be called private first staff, not sergeant, that's the promotion he got for being held by the taliban for five years. we know why the controversial prisoner swap was done quickly. a senior u.s. officials tells cnn after the deal was reached, new intelligence emerged that other taliban elements might kill him. critics claim bergdahl wandered off his afghan base before his capture nearly five years ago. secretary of state john kerry is defending the swap for bergdahl. he spoke exclusively to our foreign affairs reporter, elise

labott. >> some people say bowe bergdahl is being swift boated. do you agree with that? did he serve with honor and distinct as national security adviser? >> there's plenty of time for people to sort through what happened, what didn't happen. i don't know all of the facts. >> sound look you're not sure he served with honor. >> that's not what i'm saying, elise. what i'm saying is, there's plenty of time for people to sort through that, what i know today is what the president of the united states knows, that it would have been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously leave an american behind new york matter what leave an american behind nshth hands of people who tortured him, cut off his head, any number of things and we would consciously decide to do that? that's the other side of the equation.

i don't think anybody would think that's the appropriate thing to do. >> house members will receive a briefing on that bergdahl swap tomorrow. defense secretary chuck hagel then set to testify on wednesday. question number two for the week ahead, will russia help ukraine and the separatist battles raging in the east? a big, outstanding question. brand-new leadership in ukraine. the new president inauguraled yesterday. he and vladimir putin informally spoke at d-day ceremony in france. hoping two men can find tan end to fighting and killing. elise labott speaking with john kerry about that. >> it seems like president putin met with a bunch of leaders, including president obama, over in normandy. it seems as if there's a time now for the tension to go down and for things to move forward. is that true. >> >> well, look, we're all very hopeful. i mean, i'm glad the president

had a chance to meet briefly in the context of the luncheon with president putin and i had an opportunity to meet with foreign minister lavrov and with angela merkel. i think drawing from all of those conversations, there's a sense of some steps that could be taken in order to try to de-escalate. >> sounds like you're bringing him back in the fold. >> no, the key here is we'd like to, but they have to take certain steps to make that possible. and even as we are discussing these possibilities, there's too much violence in the east in ukraine. there's still russian support coming across the border. >> is there a danger here we're going to see some insurgency that extremists come in we've seen it happen in iraq, in libya, in syria, and these extremists could come in and threaten even the united states' interests? >> well, there is a danger that

there already are extremists coming in. i think it's very important, and i believe russia has an ability to be able to have an impact on this if we get the right ingredients moving the russians are going to have to make some fundamental decisions. we have no illusions, we're not naive about it, we know exactly what their input is and know what has to be done. >> more of that exclusive, fascinating interview that elise labott did with john kerry, go to cnn.com. question number three, this week, certainly in focus, is this potentially the most important week in hillary clinton's potential run for the white house? her new memoir "hard choices" comes out tuesday, launching a major pr blitz on her itinerary, interviews with four major networks including cnn. the exposure a chance to shake off crittism surrounding benghazi and position herself for a presidential bid in 2016. this begins with a prerecorded

interview with abc's diane sawyer, set to air monday night. here's a little bit. >> i know it's a personal decision, but if you can do that, if you can do it, you see the path and can do it, do you have to do it? >> i have to make the decision that's right for me and the country and i have to -- >> but is the party frozen in place waiting for you? >> no. people can do whatever they choose to do on whatever timetable they decide. >> but are they disadvantaged waiting for you looking at your eyes every day? >> bill clinton started running for president officially in like september, october of 1991, so, no. i just don't think that that's a, you know, a real concern. people will do what they think is best for them and whether they choose to seek the presidency or not is very personal for everybody. >> well, clinton went on to say she will, quote, be on her way

to making a decision about whether or not to run for president by the end of this year. question number four, is it time to change the rules of horse racing? this was a huge upset yesterday at belmont, as california chrome not only clolost the triple cro but came in a distant fourth. there's been no triple crown winner in 36 years. is it time to change things up? the co-owner certainly thinks so. >> our horse had a target on his back. everyone else lays out one. they'll wait to the bell month. you have a horse, run them in all three, if you have a horse that -- if you've got a horse that earns points running the kentucky derby, those 20 horses to start in kentucky are the only 20 available, eligible to run in all three races. this is the coward's way out. >> of course, this just breaking this evening. how will pakistan react to a deadly attack at karachi

international airport? that is breaking news, as i said tonight. dr. sanjay gupta live from karachi. what can you tell us what are the developments? >> reporter: just new development just now, another significant explosion. we've just learned from commandos on the ground there was a suicide bomber. one of the militants on the ground on the airport grounds and armored vehicle started to approach that militant and he self-detonated. that was a loud explosion. he died. we know no one in the armored vehicle was injured or killed in that explosion, but it gives you a sense, poppy, still an ongoing situation. remember it started off with these militants trying to gain access to the airport in three separate locations prompting these gunfights and four of the commandos protecting the airport were killed initially. we now know four commandos in addition to six militants have been killed. at least ten people killed. grenades being hurled. there was one airplane, a cargo

international airplane, set ablaze. this is a little bit of a distance away, poppy, i should point out from the commercial part of the airport. but the whole airport is on lockdown. really the whole city seems to be shut down right now. >> a few questions for you first. any idea who has led this attack or why? anyone taking responsibility? >> reporter: there -- there are rumors swirling around, poppy, too early to sort of speculate on that. this was a vip area of the airport, a private plane. we've been checking to see, any particular vip departing. there does not appear to be. it's really unclear at this point. no one, we've not been able to confirm someone coming out and taking responsibility now. but we're monitoring that closely. >> terms of a course, a little bit aways away from the main area where passengers would be for commercial travel but i'm reading some passengers are trapped in a lounge area. we know the airport is shut down. what is the state of passengers in that airport, this being the

biggest airport in all of pakistan? >> reporter: yeah, we've been talking to commandos who are on the ground there. the situation is this, they have taken the lengths to go ahead and seal off the airport, airplanes flying in to karachi were diverted, obviously no airplanes have been taking off. the at time of the attacks, airplanes on the tarmac were brought back and deplaned and many of the passengers sitting in a main sort of lounge area, departure lounge area of the airport. rescue operation is under way to escort passengers out of the airport. the airport's shut down. i should mention it shut down but on high alert in islamabad and lahore. we know that no particular aircraft was -- they weren't able to gain control of any particular aircraft. we don't know whether that was the goal but the passengers themselves do not seem to be in any imminent danger right now. >> as reported, at least ten

people dead in the tragic situation, this ongoing fluid situation in the middle of the night there in karachi, pakistan. appreciate the report. we'll get more as soon as you have it. ♪ ♪ ♪

the owner of california chrome says the horses that department race all three races took, quote, took the coward's way out but his trainer thinks it was pretty much his emotions talking. listen. >> i think mr. colburn was mad because the other horses got a break to be away for six weeks and freshening up on their last race, you know what i mean? he says, well, if you want to run in the triple crown you should run in all races like the rest of us. >> think brings into the question the rule of horse racing and other stuff and also whether he was being a sore loser or not, or do these rules need to change? andy sterling joins me live,

live at belmont stakes, reporting on the sport for years. also with us, cnn's sports contributor in atlanta. an dirk let me start with you. in terms of this, he should be happy that totalist didn't run in the derby. >> had run well in florida, had gotten sick and wasn't able to run a prep race for the kentucky derby. the horse that one that prep race finished behind them all and in florida. maybe totalist would have won the kentucky derby. >> people are saying he's being a sore loser, et, i get emotions play into this. to his point, three top races in a span of five weeks and the playing field maybe isn't -- isn't fair. do you agree oar no? >> things -- i don't know if it's supposed to be. what is fair? the point is that it's very difficult achievement and that's why it's such a great achievement. and so, after the game you're

supposed to change the rule because it didn't work out? no, it's gotten very tough to win the triple crown but the owner of totalist his father named a horse please ant colony, he lost the belmont stakes to a horse that hadn't run the kentucky derby. >> this has happened time and time again. terrance what do you make of the comments you heard? do you think that there's any credence for changing the rules here or this is just someone upset about losing? >> well, he's upset and he's a sore loser, but the bottom line is this, the triple crown is meant to be difficult. and it's very analogous to what's going on this week in golf. you've got the u.s. open, the courses for the u.s. open are just impossible, the high rough, the rough is rougher than rough. you've got the narrow fairways. look at olympics, decathlon, a multiple event sport and at turn of the 20th century, the famous incident, jim thorpe wins the decathlon and the king of sweden

affirm winning the triple crown. talking about how this has gotten so easy because affirm was the third triple crown winner of the 1970s. 36 years late, i want to hear them in a time tunnel and go back to the old-timers in 1978 and say they own affirm an apology. >> make sure that horse gets that apology. there was so much an dissipation, i was watching 100,000 people yesterday and see it on their face when they didn't win. so much disappointment. do you think that you know this hurts the sport in terms of horse racing and the attraction to it? having the rules in this way, should anything change about horse racing? people keep waiting they say 36 years, how many years is it to get a triple crown? >> no, it's great that so many love california chrome, he got a lot of people involved. would these people had become great fans if he won the belmont stake. >> where were they before now? >> he'll never have to mile a

run and a half again. he's going have other successes, they can follow him now and totalist. >> is this a horse that can take the triple crown. >> triple crown is for 3-year-old. >> only 3-year-olds. >> right. >> schooled in this here as well. >> but it will happen. a horse will win the triple crown. make next year, maybe the year after that, another big crowd at belmont, maybe that horse will win the triple crown. we have a lot of great racing at belmont and horse racing's a fun and interesting game. i think a horse like california chrome gets people involved, tells the story. that's a good thing. >> beautiful day out there. must have had an amazing time. thanks for coming in. trance, appreciate it as well. in four daeyes of the worldn brazil for the largest single sport in the planet, the world cup. everything you need to know, need to sound like a hard core fan, world cup 101 coming up next. it's not all about soccer. of course, you've got to talk about food. in tonight's brand-new episode

this week, you're going to see an unprecedented view from inside the hunt for those kidnapped school girls in nigeria. cnn's arwa damon crossing over the border, across from boko haram's stronghold in nigeria, not far from the place where the girls were taken. she'll cross lake chad, where islands covered in dense vegetation provide ideal hideouts for the militants and people talk of their own experiences with boko haram's brutality. >> reporter: before fleeing here, the fisherman lived on one of the island's close to

nigeria. he describes how boko haram raided his village, stealing produce, torching homes. so many villagers killed, he lost count. here village and terrorist camps are difficult to distinguish from aerials, especially as widely believed the girls have been split into smaller groups. >> so from the small, little clip you begin to get a sense of how terrorized the population is but how difficult the terrain potentially is as well to navigate when it comes to efforts under way to rescue the 200-plus school girls. lake chad is one area of interest. we'll get more in depth into the aspect of the terrain that boko haram controls in the upcoming days. another important thing, one of the driving factors that really had us decide to go from nigeria

to niger, in boko haram's heartland, the birthplace, we were countless, horrific people of fleeing, an organization that has terrorized people in northeastern nigeria, well before the kidnapping of the school girls. and the moment you leave, the capital, this 20-minute drive away, you have entire villages that have been emptied of their populations. the only people left behind are the handful that truly had nowhere else to go. and they'll tell you, they're sitting there, waiting for death to arrive. boko haram's attacks have continued, even more frequency since the school girls were kidnapped. attacks happening on a regular basis. following the trail of the refugees, following that trail to one of nigeria's neighbors that has seen quite the influx of border there is effectively

nonexistent and villages there have doubled in population because of the sheer numbers coming across from nigeria, some of them having utterly heartbreaking stories. we're bringing those as well to our viewers. it's important, as we focus on the search for the missing school girls, as a lot of attention is being put on that particular aspect of all of this, that we also continue to try to put pressure on the various, different key global players that could help in trying to defeat boko haram once and for all because this not a problem just confined to nigeria, seeing the ripple effect of refugees fleeing into nigeria's various neighboring nations. but in niger, a large, disgruntle population of youth that makes for ideal individuals that boca hako haram could be

ex-moting them. young women who have fled the horror telling us that they feel just as fearful, though they are the relative safety of the neighboring niger. it's critical that we keep the pressure up in the search for the missing school girl but was continue to try to look into all of the different aspects of how they operate, getting as close as we can to the terrain they're operating in and put the pressure on to defeat the terrorist organization once and for all. >> no question. appreciate you doing that for us, arwa damon. look forward to that report on the hunt for those missing school girls. it's a cnn exclusive, as you saw. arwa damon on the hunt for boko haram. it's all this week, coming here on cnn. this week also, marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most publicized murders in american history. remember this? >> going to be a lot better

football star, actor, pitchman, o.j. simpson, at the time, became the prime suspect in the brutal murder of nicole brown and her friend, ron goldman. every twist and turn gave the public a front row seat to history, starting with the infamous slow-speed chase through southern california. cnn's kyra phillips takes a like back at that. >> 911. >> i have o.j. in the car. >> reporter: o.j. simpson on the run. >> los angeles police departm t department, right now, is searching for mr. simpson. >> reporter: and on the edge. >> he's still alive but he's got a gun to his head. >> was that gun loaded? >> oh, yeah. it was a real gun. real bullets. >> reporter: and real drama. >> going through orange county. >> reporter: news helicopters hovering above as the bronco drives past stunned onlookers. >> people were jamming on their

>> well, that was 20 years ago this week. i want to bring in richard gabriel, a jury consultant, also author of the new book, acquittal. we have it right here, there it is on your screen as well. thank you for coming in, appreciate it. >> it's good to be here, poppy. >> richard, you worked on the o.j. simpson trial along with many other high-profile cases over the years including the case of phil spector, casey anthony, and i was reading your comments. it's interesting, you say the simpson case really had two juries, how so? >> well, when 100 million people -- and i remember this very vividly because i was actually sitting right here in the cnn studios at larry king's show, watching for five hours on that afternoon, we not only became witnesses to this case, we actually became jurors. usually we watched the news as it happened afterwards. in this case, we were watching it happen and it split the jury

because, to a certain extent, some people saw a guilty plan running. and on the other hand, some people saw a desperate man who was depressed and going to take his own life. we sort of became in the case and we became the jury. >> i want to read a quote here from in your book. you say, quote, on a stretch of the 405 freeway on a sunny, june afternoon 1994, pandora's box was opened and the chaotic clash of news media, journalism, advertising dollars, public cravings, criminal investigation and prosecutions, celebrity culture, and constitutional protections was unleashed on our unwitting justice system. and we are still trying to close that box. why did this begin with that trial? >> well, because for 24/7, 7 days a week, for more than a year, people were riveted by this. and what happened is that it became -- it became so encompassing that we saw it on

entertainment shows in tabloid, in hard news. and everybody had an opinion. and and as a result, witnesses came forward who might have been viable witnesses, sold their stories and then no longer became credible witnesses. there was this strange confluence of both the media and the courts and both the prosecution and the defense struggling to figure out what was real evidence, what was sensationalism, how do we separate it all out? >> you know, some people -- you've certainly heard a lot in your years of doing this -- some people suggested that your work with simpson, specter, casey anthony, the teams, part of the reason they walked free. do you agree? can you buy or create a nonguilty verdict? >> you can't buy or create a nonguilty verdict. however, you can be the best advocate, you can be for your client. you can pick a jury that hopefully will give your client the fairest and best listening. you can try and present your case so that you really clearly

as possible try to convince that jury that their case is viable and that they are not guilty of the crimes they're accused. so you can obviously pursue certain strategy. you can try and pick a best jury, you can be your best advocate but you can't buy, you can't choose because the evidence is the evidence. >> fascinating discussion. i'd like to go lon a lot longer. don't go anywhere. more about the o.j. simpson didn't just leave his mark on the justice system. also on popular culture. little did we know it then, but some are saying this was the first reality tv show. what do you think?

and culture to change in america when it comes to trials and televised trials. little did we know but the o.j. simpson trial would become the birth of reality television. back to richard gabriel, a jury consultant, also author of "acquittal." let's talk about this. 24-hour cable, cnn, competitors, news media all the time on the internet, on television. how you think that has changed public perception of these trials how they are perceived, how these people are tried in the court of public opinion before the jury hands down their decision? >> on the one hand, it's very positive thing because for the most part, people know more how the process works. they know about evidence, they know a lot more about the law. on the other hand, there's a presumption of innocence. and the difficulty is that a lot of the pretrial publicity tends to create certain tip we watch television, we watch news, to want to know. defense attorneys, tools of the trade, really not knowing and

uncertainty. so it's hard to ask jurors to wait when they've already seen fundamentally a lot of the evidence in the case, they formed opinions about it, talked about it with friends and family. yet come to the courtroom and then they say, okay, you're now supposed to be fair and impartial as if you're a neutral juror. it makes it very difficult for anybody who has been charged and had the news blasted all over the television to walk into court and have a jury sit there and say, i'm neutral. i have no opinion about this case. >> you know, isn't it one thing to have, say, a trial played out over television like a c-span, for example, if you're something akin to that, and also have it play out on cable news with commentary surrounding it? doesn't that completely change the game? >> it changes it because you are getting the news reporting and a lot of commentary, you're getting opinions, experts. it came to a big head in the

casey anthony case, which i also write about the book. it's not just cable news but the social media because people are not just responding and watching and listening. but they're participating. they're tweeting, facebooking, actually sort of expressing opinions as they're watching the trial. so it becomes an interactive experience and that's why i think also when they get -- a verdict comes down, which they don't particularly think is the right one, you get so much outrage. >> so our viewers know, people that haven't read your book, you worked with o.j. simpson team and the casey anthony team? >> worked with the o.j. simpson team and the casey anthony team on the defense side in both cases, yes. >> tell us a little bit your role on each. >> well, as a trial consultant, what you're trying to do is you're trying to give your client the best listening, you're trying to help them in the jury selection process to choose not only the most neutral jurors but let's face it best jurors, jurorers that are most

favorable and give your client the best listening. the prosecution's doing the same. they have their own consultants. what you're sometimes doing is focus groups or mock trials, prosecution does it, too, to test basically what they're going -- what the themes are, what jurors are concerned about and you're helping them develop a story to tell to that jury. >> the business that a lot of people don't know behind the picking and selection of the juries. ten seconds or less, are cameras in the courtroom a good thing or bad thing for justice? >> they're a good thing but they need to be monitored and we all need to get better understanding the role and the role of the justice system. >> appreciate you coming in today on a sunday. thank you so much, sir. there's no question, the o.j. simpson case was one of the most famous trials ever in america. stay tuned for this. coming up, tuesday night on cnn, fascinating documentary "o.j.'s while ride" 20 years after the chase, right here, tuesday, on cnn. for many of us, the o.j.

simpson case began with the scenes of the cops following simpson's white bronco down the los angeles freeway. flash forward 20 years ahead, 20 years, i can't believe, the o.j. police chase might be unnecessary. cops in los angeles focusing on stopping potential crime before they even come to fruition. all of the high-tech technolgy, what they're using right now. it may sound like the plot of a sci-fi blockbuster. >> this way. >> look at me. positive for howard marks. i'm placing you under arrest for the future murder that's to take place today, april 22, o:800. >> that's a movie but rachel crane explains how l.a. police are using technology to try to prevent crimes before they even happen. >> reporter: since early 1990s, crime rates have declined across the country.

it can claim the cia as an early investor. >> palaintir a better rated search system. combines data sets, allows us access them quickly. with a single keystroke you get the effect of a 30-person task force. >> reporter: after searching over 100 million data points, it displays an impressive information on one burglary suspect, linking him to cell phone numbers, known associates, past addresses and track the suspect's past locations based on previous license plate scans. >> if we are searching for him, we don't have to search all of l.a. county. we know where he frequents. >> reporter: inwho is a vehicle owner is in palantir. >> anybody who is a vehicle owner in public place and passed a license plate reader in our data set. we can search you for without
