tv   Erin Burnett Out Front  CNN  July 16, 2014 4:00pm-5:01pm PDT

4:00 pm
>> i'm van jones. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. next, breaking news, palestinian children killed while playing on the beach. is this a tipping point in the mideast crisis? plus media mogul rupert murdoch sets his sights on cnn and our parent company. will he get what he wants? and the alleged killer call girl in court today. she says she had nothing to do with a google executive's death but the proof could be on tape. let's go "outfront." and good evening, everyone. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight gangs on the border. president obama and vice president biden have just wrapped up a meeting with the congressional hispanic caucus
4:01 pm
about the emergency on the border. members calling the meeting emotional and productive but there weren't any specifics on how to solve the problem. keep in mind, tens of thousands, more immigrants are expected to be flowing over that border joining tens of thousands already there. tonight we take a closer look at one of the reasons this crisis is happening. gangs. many of the undocumented immigrants say they fear for their lives because of the threat of gang violence in their home countries. and some of the gangs terrorizing central america, the gang members, were actually arrested and deported from the united states decades ago. sara sidener has our "outfront" exclusive investigation. >> reporter: this 19-year-old is living in the shadows in southern california. he's an illegal immigrant who says he's running away from unimaginable gang violence in his home country, guatemala. but he is not just a victim. he admits he is also a perpetrator, recruited by the gangs when he was just 9.
4:02 pm
"they were like my second family," he says, a second family that soon wanted him to run gun, drugs and eventually kill in guatemala. "i decapitated people. there was killing without mercy" he says. now a father, he breaks down in tears telling the story of the things he saw and did before his many attempts to cross into the u.s. illegally as a child. do you think the reason why so many children are coming to the u.s. especially now is because they're so afraid of the gangs there? >> si. >> reporter: "yes, the gangs force them to join. this the new norm." he and gang experts tell us the most powerful gangs if central america originated here from this los angeles neighborhood. more than a decade ago, u.s. immigration and customs enforcement began major crackdowns on transnational gang
4:03 pm
activity. according to the u.s. department of homeland security, between 2001 and 2012, more than 185,000 convicted immigrants were sent back to central america. those numbers include members of l.a.'s notoriously violent ms-13 gangs and the 18th street gang. some of those deported gang bangers eventually became kingpins in central america, terrorizing the population. >> their gang members over there look out to anything that comes from l.a. so you might be a small guy, but you come from l.a., so that makes you a leader. >> reporter: enrique hertado is a former l.a. gang member born in el salvador. he now runs a program aimed at rehabilitating gang members. >> if you're not victimized, you're a victim. >> reporter: that's what this 13-year-old is struggling with. he traveled with many other children last year when he snuck
4:04 pm
across the u.s. border. he says he's running away from a violent future after living a violent past in the m-13 gang. what's the worst thing you had to do for the gang? "kill people. because they didn't want to pay the prescribes to the gangs" he says. you understand why people in america say you have to go back, we don't want the gangs here. he understands, but says if people in the u.s. knew the terror and hunger facing children in central america, maybe the understanding would go both ways. now, erin, i want to give you the latest numbers. the numbers that i.c.e. has for deportations. these are deportations for people inside the united states, not on the border. 133,551. and i.c.e. says 82% of them have been convicted of a crime. and that's what makes anti-immigration advocates so angry. >> 82%. what an incredible statistic. sara, thank you very much. a powerful report on exactly what this country is dealing
4:05 pm
with on the border, our political commentator paul begala joins me now. start with that stt stick that sara just concluded with, 82% of those they sent home convicted of a crime. as she said, fodder for the anti-immigration advocates. but that's a shockingly high number. >> it is. of those sent home, that is not -- i don't want to confuse our viewers -- of these children who are now awaiting some kind of hearing on our side of the border. it's not 82% of those who got in. we've shipped them back. but i thought it was a terrific report from sara. what is driving this -- you can't say one thing. but the people who have gone down there and i've read their congressional testimony, especially the catholic bishop of el paso mark sykes who went down there, he said the same thing as sara. many, many of these children are fleeing gang violence in their home countries. and that's why they're coming up here. it's not like the traditional problem we've had of undocumented workers coming in looking for jobs. >> right.
4:06 pm
>> these are children. it makes it especially difficult for us. as you know, there's this bush era law that passed unanimo unanimously -- nothing passes unanimously in washington -- this passed unanimously, if you're an immigrant child from central america, we can't send you back. we were worried about people being victims of trafficking. nobody anticipated 50,000 kids on the border. >> the problem is, the impossibility, frankly, of all of them staying. the president has said, i want more money to solve this problem. $3.7 billion. if you look in this --nd i wanted to high light this for the viewer. 300 million of that is supposed to be basically an ad campaign, right, in these countries to have these families stop sending their kids. don't listen to those smugglers, this isn't going to help you from gang violence. i wanted to play for everybody a quick pop of what these ads are. they're pretty direct and they're negative.
4:07 pm
here they are. [ speaking spanish ] and for those, my mom keeps saying i shouldn't go to the usa. drug cartels kidnap immigrants who have to walk days in the desert. they have these ads down there, paul. but by and large, everybody i've been hearing from people is they just ignore them. so why are we throwing $300 million in these country for ads that don't work? >> i'm not entirely sure they don't work. if advertising didn't work, coca-cola wouldn't do it. and i wouldn't have a job and neither would you. advertising can be effective. i've said this on your show many times, the president has made a mistake in not going to the border. because in addition to those ads which are actually a good idea, there's nothing like the direct testimony of the president of the united states standing on the border saying don't send your children here, they could die on the trip and we're going
4:08 pm
to send them hope anyway. that's a missed opportunity for him. it's things that both parties should agree on. republicans have been calling for these things. increased surveillance on the border with drones, stepped up enforcement, more immigration judges, speeding the deportation process, cracking down on the smugglers who are the real bad guys, the coyotes that bring these kids up, then the care and feeding of these kids. actually it's a lot of money but all stuff that both parties should be able to get together on. >> paul, thank you very much. paul begala. "outfront" next, rupert murdoch. he's trying to buy -- me. okay, and all of cnn and our parent company. can he pull it off? in the middle east where tensions are boiling over. four palestinian boys killed while playing on the beach. the crisis is reaching horrific proportions. sexual harassment at tech giant yahoo! did a female executive cross the line with another female employee?
4:09 pm
>> she hugged me all over and then she took my hands, you know, and put it under her. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business.

4:12 pm
4:13 pm
the billionaire who doesn't like to take no for an answer. today we learned that time warner said no to rupert murdoch ap $80 billion proposal to take over cnn's parent company and add it to murdoch's global empire. the merger with murdoch, who already owns fox news would have created what would have been even bigger juggernaut, spanning an abundance of channels, movies, television and newspapers including "the wall street journal." 17%, that's how much time warner's stock was up on news of the offer. everybody thinks that rupert murdoch will come back and offer even more money. so murdoch got rejected, but he has a history of being persistent when it comes to his way and usually winning. >> reporter: love him or hate
4:14 pm
him, rupert murdoch started with a few newspapers in 1950s australia he's grown his influence into a bona fide media empire. today he controls dozen of channels and newspapers. >> you are a socialist. >> reporter: from fox news to "the wall street journal," to hit shows and movies like "modern family." "homeland." "x-men" and "ice age." but it's not enough. after all he's only 83 years old. he wants more media, apparently time warner, the parent company of cnn. last month he made an $80 billion offer cash and stock. time warner management said it thought long and hard about the proposal but on july 8th it says thanks but no thanks. >> it is not in the best interests of time warner or our shareholders to accept the proposal or to pursue any discussions with fox. >> reporter: but wait, wait a second.
4:15 pm
murdoch? back in deal making mode? just two years ago people were writing him off. his company was in turmoil, dragged down bay phone hacking scandal in britain. pressured by wall street to split his beloved newspapers off into a separate business from the faster growing 21st century fox. now though stocks of both his companies are up and his swagger seems to be back. >> like many media moguls, he has a pretty big ego. he has to be thinking this might be the last big deal. >> reporter: it would have more leverage at the negotiating table with comcast and at&t. to some, especially liberals the conservative murdoch is a boogeyman, a symbol for all that's wrong with the media, but above all else, he's a businessman and he's not ready to retire. >> he's relentless. i don't think he'll go away any
4:16 pm
time soon. once he wants something he'll do his damnedest to try and get it. >> you know, david, last week i just had a chance to see rupert murdoch. all right. he is old, but he is sharp as a tack. he's asking questions. i mean, his physical appearance does not match his mental acuity. he's work worth $13.9 billion. he's 83 years old. why is he doing this right now? >> for a couple of reasons. i think, first of all, putting together a media colossus like this from both an economic perspective and just a, you know, an empire, for that matter, would be the capstone on a pretty amazing media career. i think intellectually, i think there are few media visionaries that you will see in your lifetime, like a rupert murdoch. and as the media ecosystem is evolving into a much more global, much more digital
4:17 pm
distribution platform, i think part of what rupert murdoch is trying to achieve is to own as much content as humanly possible just before the revolution. you know, the evolution, the revolution so that he has a hand -- >> in everything. >> in controlling his own destiny as the ecosystem evolves. >> but what's amazing about this though, brian, is people would say, wait a minute, this guy owns fox news could try to buy cnn? that's sort of a jaw dropping thing to dream of. >> is it too big any more? but with cnn at least it does seem that in any scenario that involves fox, cnn would be divested, sold to some other company, some other bidder and for a long time cbs has seemed to be interested, abc has seemed to be interested. that would solve itself relatively quickly if this deal materializes. >> rupert murdoch is a persistent guy. remember when he bid for dow jones, "the wall street
4:18 pm
journal," and they went out and publicly said take a hike and he came back and came back and he got it. which is why some people today who look for a 17% jump for those of you who don't cover the stock market, that's an incredible amount of money to make in one day. that's because people believe that rupert murdoch is not going to give up. >> that this will happen. and if it's not fox, maybe there's other players as well. we heard analysts suggesting are there other suitors who might take a look at time warner now that it seems to be on the block. >> but time warner is a really big company when you look at it. >> how many companies really could -- >> time warner is a $73 billion company. >> it was. >> and now it's a lot bigger. because the share price went up today, everybody. but when you look at this. how many people could really afford to buy it? because look, let's just be honest, comcast can't, they own nbc. >> i don't know that that's necessarily true. i don't know that comcast
4:19 pm
couldn't on it. part of the complexity is the fact that some of these other players that could buy it, like an at&t or comcast are tied up with mergers of their own. at&t with directv. >> for time warner the timing is not great. >> you want to say there's a lot of other people out to buy it. >> in media land, an auction of one. you don't really want an auction of one. disney is the only company that rivals fox in terms of size. so you're looking outside of media then. >> so outside of media, but -- >> there were rumors last week about google. >> i work at cnn, i'm loyal to it, everybody. but cnn is the marquee brand of news around the world. yes, advertisement. i happen to believe it is true. so google, could cnn be owned by the likes of google or apple? >> people's minds have suddenly opened in the last 24 hours because of the news today. you think about the way media is radically evolving.
4:20 pm
does a google or an apple want to be in the news business? there aren't a lot of signs that they do, but maybe they will five years from now. if you want to see the future in this deal. the point is getting as much content as he can get makes perfect sense. >> for those of you out there who own time warner, you made a heck of a lot of money out there today. noert what happens you should take some off the table. i'm just saying. if you own the s&p 500, you just got that nice 17%. >> true. >> breaking news in gaza. tensions high. four palestinian boys killed while playing on the beach. we are live there tonight. the flesh eating bacteria that killed people across the country. new cases this week that may make you think twice about where you go for a swim. ifcorner of "smart choice"e and "multiple choice," come to walgreens for help finding the one that's right for you...

4:24 pm
breaking news in the middle east tonight, the debt of four israeli children when a shell exploded on a beach near them in gaza. moments ago the president spoke. >> over the past two weeks, we've all been heartbroken by the violence especially the death and injury of so many innocent civilians in gaza. men, women and children who are caught in the crossfire. that's why we have been working
4:25 pm
with our partners in the region to pursue a ceasefire, to protect civilians on both sides. >> the civilian deaths that are causing international outrage. there is word tonight that both parties israel and hamas have agreed to a temporary cease-fire for five hours on thursday so the united nations can deliver humanitarian supplies. it may sound like nothing, but it is a small something. and ben wedeman is in gaza city for us tonight. what is happening there? especially in light of that very tragic and horrific death of those four boys today? >> well, this is just the latest in a series of deaths, the death toll is now well over 200. so it was a tragic incident and, of course, now we have news of this five-hour truce that goes into effect at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning until 5 -- 3:00 p.m. hamas just moments ago accepted that truce.
4:26 pm
during that time not only will the united nations be able to deliver relief supplies, people will be able to go to the bank for the first time in ten days, will be able to go out and about in relative safety, but for those four boys on the beach in gaza, that truce, that cease-fire or rather that pause, didn't come soon enough. they were killed on the beach wednesday afternoon when the israeli military targeted gaza's harbor. the four boys were cousins from the extended family ranging in age from 9 to 11. they were rushed to gaza city's hospital but it was too late. an israeli military spokesman says the incident is being carefully investigated and that preliminary results indicate, quote, the target of this strike was hamas terrorist operatives,
4:27 pm
end quote. in just over an hour after their deaths, hundreds turned out for their funeral. behind the angry chants, there is real grief. 11-year-old's mohammed's mother convulsed with shattered disbelief. why did he go to the beach and play with them to take him away from me, she cries. his blind father is equally devastated. "i felt as if the world had come to an end when i heard the news" he tells me. "i wish i'd died before hearing he was dead."
4:28 pm
of the more than 200 people killed in the last ten days of israeli bottom bartment, over 70% have been civilians according to the united nations. around 40 of the dead are children. "were those four small boys firing rockets" a relative asks. "they went to the beach to play football." the boys died on the sands of gaza and in the sands of gaza they were buried. so that truce or rather the pause goes into effect in 9 1/2 hours, but until then what we've been hearing is the continued thunder of war. erin. >> ben wedeman, thank you so much "outfront" next the alleged killer call girl. she says she's not responsible for the death of a google executive. do you believe her?

not guilty. that is from the alleged high priced prostitute charged with cooking up a lethal dose of heroin and injecting it into a google executive. alix tichelman appeared in court this morning to face charges including manslaughter and drug possession in the death of forrest hayes. police say she left him to die. but tichelman's attorney says it was an accident. kyung lah is "outfront" tonight. >> reporter: quiet and subdued alix tichelman entered a plea of not guilty. her tattooed wrists in handcuffs, she went back into custody, a very different woman -- >> it's going to take a little bit on a fluffy brush. >> reporter: -- than the alix
4:34 pm
tichelman on youtube cheerfully giving makeup tips or the one flaunting her body. the heavily mascaraed 26-year-old openly shared her love of the underbelly of society, marilyn manson, the tv serial killer show "dexter." as a so-called sugarbaby she picked up older men on the website seekingarrangement.com and she was a silicon valley prostitute with 200 clients. one was google exec forrest hayes. >> at that point she showed no concern for the condition of the victim. >> reporter: police say surveillance video shows tichelman giving heroin to the married father of five as hayes overdosed -- >> she cleaned up the drugs, she walked around with her glass of wine in her hand, as she stepped over the body a number of times. you know, what's particularly shocking in this case, though, is just the glacial callousness and coldness that she showed toward the condition of the victim.
4:35 pm
>> i certainly reviewed the video. i don't think that's been the most accurate representation in the media. >> reporter: tichelman's public defender says the scandalous image doesn't match the facts. tichelman is heroin addict. she was hayes' prostitute, but that, they say, was it. >> this case is about two adults who were engaged in mutual, consensual drug usage in the context of a sexual encounter initiated and encouraged by mr. hayes. there was no intent to harm or injure much less kill mr. hayes. >> reporter: the attorneys say tichelman was also present when a previous boyfriend in georgia overdosed on heroin and died just a few months ago. but that, they say, is an unfortunate coincidence and the life of a heroin addict. >> birds of a feather fly together. and that's been my experience in this business. and i'm sure that they were both engaged in some unhealthy high risk choices in lifestyle back there. >> reporter: in some court
4:36 pm
documents that were released today, the defense attorneys depict their version of what they saw on the surveillance tape aboard that boat. on the tape, according to the defense attorneys, you can actually see forrest hayes using a light on his cell phone to help tichelman locate a vein. after she injected him with heroin, he became lethargic and fell asleep. she gathers her things and leaves. there is no mention of her finishing her red wine or stepping over his body several times. >> thank you very much. this case does come down to the video kyung is talking about there. footage police say they actually had to get from the security company because the captain of the yacht told investigators for a while that, well, the cameras weren't working. the deputy police chief for the santa cruz police department, good to have you with us. tichelman's attorney, you just heard kyung lah explaining, i'm looking at their statement. they say look the tape proves this was an accident. he purposefully put his arm out, then they kissed, then he passed
4:37 pm
out. no intent to harm forrest hayes. we asked our viewers what 74% did not believe alix tichelman's side of the story. you have seen this tape. do her attorney's views add up? >> well, you know, this is really the oldest trick in the defense book. when in doubt, try to put the victim on trial. and that's exactly what they're trying to do here. they have no explanation for the behavior. they've seen the same video. they know that alix tichelman stepped over the body several times. they know that she spent a good seven minutes on that boat after mr. hayes went into medical distress. so they know the facts. they know that she was walking around drinking her glass of wine. what they're trying to do is they're trying to paint a picture of forrest hayes and they're trying to absolve their client of responsibility here. at the end of the day, the question to ask here is who brought the drugs, who prepared the drugs, who injected the drugs and then who neglected
4:38 pm
their responsibility when the victim went into medical distress? the answer to all of those questions is their client, alix tichelman. she was responsible. forrest hayes could not call for help. he could not do anything to help himself in the situation. alix tichelman was the only one who had that ability to do that. >> and steve, what about, you know, the defense here and their statement again they talk about how she injected herself with an unknown substance, and then he -- i'll read exactly the quote here. the man rub and hit his inner elbow to help the woman locate a vein in his own arm, shining a light from his cell phone on to his inner elbow. he was injected. they kissed again. the man became lethargic and nodded off. there's nothing in this description that includes her walking back and forth over his body. there's nothing that includes her then having a drink of wine while he was lying comatose on the floor. that happened, though, in the video you saw, right?
4:39 pm
>> oh, absolutely it did. it was quite an exercise in creative writing really on the defense's part. why would they put anything in there that tends to point towards responsibility of their client? they're trying to paint a certain picture of her and actually put forrest hayes on trial as opposed to their suspect. they're trying to bring about -- you know, make her the victim in this case. she's not the victim. here's what's interesting is none of this affected alix tichelman. her behavior never changed after either the death of the man in milton, georgia, or the death of mr. hayes. she was still involved in prostitution activities, she was still introducing drugs into those situations. that's evidenced by the fact that when we arrested her, she showed is up with a needle full of heroin, and additional heroin ready to go. she was still prostituting. thought she was coming for a -- none of this has affected her
4:40 pm
and her behavior has not changed one bit because of these experiences. >> steve, thank you. now a bombshell at yahoo! the tech company in the middle of an attempted resurgence is facing embarrassing allegations against one of its female executives. it's an unusual case of sexual harassment, a software engineer, a woman, claims her female boss at yahoo! coerced her into performing lewd, sexual acts. yahoo! says there's no basis to the allegations. the accuser tells her story to our lori siegel. >> i told her, hey, look, we are friends and you are my manager. we shouldn't be doing this. >> reporter: that's what a former yahoo! engineer says she told her boss maria zhang when she allegedly came on to her. >> she hugged me all over and took my hands and put it under her. i just felt like, you know, i was being force d, and we did

4:42 pm
>> reporter: in a suit just filed against nan shi, zhang adamantly denies ever having a sexual relationship with her claiming the engineer is looking for financial dpan and she just simply wasn't making the grade. nan shi tells us another story claiming after she cut off the sexual advances her work was affected. nan says she was removed from projects and separated from her teammates. >> i don't mind the hard times, but please, please, i'm a human being. you cannot separate me from i had other co-workers. >> reporter: she reported the alleged harassment to yahoo! hr. >> please, please move me to anoth another. i don't feel safe. >> reporter: as a result yahoo! said she asked her to stay home while they conducted the investigation. >> that was the hardest time i went through. you know, after months i finally
4:43 pm
went to my family doctor. i told her, you know, i have depression. >> reporter: zhang also says her reputation has been damaged. nan shi herself claims both emotional and financial damages as questions lingered. >> i just sit here and keep asking myself why me. >> reporter: laurie segall, cnn money, california. a dangerous summer threat. flesh-eating bacteria lurking in waters across the country. in some cases this has led to death. what you need to watch for. what would the world have been like if twitter existed when the first mission to the moon was launched? jeanne moos shows us the cold ard truth.
