8:00 am
tapes. thank you for joining me today. i'm carol costello. another hour of "newsroom" coming up next. round two of jordan's vow to destroy isis. pounding targets in syria for a second day. it's just the beginning they say of retaliation for the murder of one of their own. a murder trial field trip. the jury bussed to key locations but why? it's a case of celebrity justice. new insight in a what caused the amazing plane crash into a taiwanese river caught on camera. both engines lost power one right after the other. why and did the pilot accidentally turn off the wrong engine in trying to save the flight? good morning. happy friday everybody. i'm kate bolduan. >> i'm john berman.
8:01 am
happening now, two wars raging with the united states poised to make key decisions about just how deeply to get involved in each. this morning the isis stronghold of rack wraqqa is burning. >> the french president and german chancellor in moscow trying to negotiate a cease-fire deal over ukraine with russian president vladimir putin a day after meeting with ukrainian leaders. let's get to escalating war against isis. a second day of jordan's new air assault on the terror group wrapped up just a short time ago. once again u.s. warplanes accompanied the jets on bombing rings. there are reports of loud explosions in raqqa, syria. there is smoke rising in the syrian city. cnn cannot independently verify the photos.
8:02 am
>> we heard directly from jordan's foreign minister telling cnn the air strikes against isis are just the beginning of jordan's retaliation for the killing, the murder of pilot muath al kaseasbeh. we want to bring in barbara starr. this operation is now named muath the martyr in honor of that slain pilot. >> reporter: an extraordinary site on the streets of amman, jordan as even the wife of king abdullah took to the streets joining jordanian citizens in their protests in their concern about isis anti-isis feelings. very evident on the streets of jordan this morning. the queen in the front lines on the street. in the skies over syria now as these protests went on the anti-isis protests jordanian warplanes again about two dozen jordanian f-16s moving across the skies of syria bombing a
8:03 am
series of isis targets accompanied by u.s. f-18s, u.s. f-22s. expect to see more of this by jordan. this is a small country with a relatively small yet capable air force. they can't keep up a huge pace of activity forever but this is a country still vowing revenge, vowing to carry out its portion of air strikes against isis so there definitely will be more to come. perhaps the real bottom line here is not the military part of this but the philosophical galvanizing, if you will of the people of jordan and people across the arab world in response to what isis did in killing that pilot. >> barbara starr, thanks so much. to the war tearing apart sections of eastern europe. at this moment key european leaders are trying to convince vladimir putin to make peace in eastern ukraine amid accusations he's sending troops and tanks over the border.
8:04 am
>> let's go to moscow. matthew chance is there. german chancellor saying she's hopeful a deal can be reached before they leave. what are you hearing? >> reporter: absolutely. francois hollande with these three leaders trying to hammer 0 you the out a deal to bring an end to this fighting. it's billed as a new peace plan that two european figures are presenting to vladimir putin. we don't know the details of the plan exactly. it's been kept under wraps. it's been discussed. the key figure of course in all of this is vladimir putin. he is the one who will have to give thumbs up to this plan if it will have traction whatsoever. we haven't received confirmation they have got under way.
8:05 am
what the russian foreign ministry says is that vladimir putin is prepared to talk constructively with the european leaders and that russia will do everything in its power, coming from russian foreign ministry to resolve conflict in eastern ukraine. there have been truces signed before but they haven't made a difference to fighting on the ground kate. >> that's right. let's talk about fighting on the ground. matthew chance thank you so much for us in moscow. let's talk about exactly that. the fighting on the ground. parts of eastern ukraine are being pounded and continue to be pounded by shelling but the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic says it offered kiev the chance for civilians to leave an area northeast of donetsk. >> cnn's senior national correspondent nick paton walsh live from donetsk right now. you have seen the situation firsthand. give us the description. >> reporter: john frankly we've been coming here for months and i haven't heard the shelling landing quite so close to where
8:06 am
we are here certainly in the city center. it's more sporadic and certainly not the kind of backdrop you would expect if we're going to see some success in moscow with those talks between european leaders and vladimir putin. now, clearly the separatists have felt emboldened in the last few months. we've seen them in the past week taking a lot of territory particularly northwest of where i'm standing but also to donetsk city. their stronghold is being hit regularly. another landing behind me. the issue here is diplomatic talks failed to some degree. they are going back to discuss a cease-fire to some degree which has fallen apart. it was agreed months ago. the issue people are going to be facing is quite what the reality both sides believe are on the ground. we have separatists taking more territory. very well equipped. ukrainian military not doing well at holding them back and that sense that maybe these peace talks could fail and allow even further escalation of violence. 5,000 dead so far. this city running out of food.
8:07 am
at times without electricity and that constant thudding in the background. john? >> nick paton walsh, thank you so much. nick is talking about he's been there for months and he's seen the shelling and we brought you earlier this week the images that nick had himself going through donetsk international airport. it used to be a symbol of progress in ukraine and now it's decimated. >> it has seen much worse than they are admitting as they try to negotiate some kind of peace there. family and friends say good-bye to the driver of the suv that caused a commuter train collision here in new york. ellen brody and five train cass passengers were killed. the train was going just below the speed limit and the engineer did apply the emergency brake. the big question of course is why did this happen and why was it so deadly? they are searching for those answers. concerned parents in the

chicago area. five babies diagnosed with measles. all of them at the same day care center. all of them were too young to receive the vaccine. health officials warn there may be more cases there. probably will be more cases there. more than 100 measles cases have been confirmed in 15 states in this latest outbreak. coming up for us jurors in the aaron hernandez murder trial are going on a field trip touring the former nfl star's home today. there are some things the judge says they won't be able to see. what's this about? and from two working engines to none in seconds. new incite into what happened in the moments before a plane took a deadly plunge into a river. did the pilots make a fatal decision? you just got a big bump in miles. so this is a great opportunity for an upgrade. sound good? great. because you're not you you're a whole airline... and it's not a ticket you're upgrading it's your entire operations, from domestic to international...

8:12 am
happening now, jurors in the aaron hernandez murder trial are taking a field trip to several key locations in this case. >> amazing. a short time ago the bus departed from the courthouse in fall river. >> jurors are heading to the crime scene. also the house of the victim odin lloyd, and the house of the defendant, aaron hernandez. >> all of this after the defense in the courtroom grilled a police witness. they claim the first arriving officers bungled the investigation by failing to protect the integrity of the crime scene. >> have you been trained in the collection of evidence at a crime scene, captain? >> no. >> you said that at some point a decision was made to pick up pieces of evidence right? >> yes. >> okay. and that was before anyone from state police crime scene
8:13 am
services arrived, right? >> yes. >> nobody measured it right? >> nobody measured it no. >> you eyeballed it is that what you're telling us? >> that's exactly what i'm telling you, yes. >> cnn legal analyst joins us now. you are a trial lawyer. you are in this fight every day. not in this case but your own cases. how unusual is it to take the kind of field trip that these jurors are now on? you don't hear it except in these cases of celebrity justice. >> the judge in any trial has substantial discretion to either grant or deny either party's request for a jury view. that being said you think this happens in murder cases or criminal cases, this is so rare. most motions get denied because the judge with that discretion it comes down to a balancing test. what is the value of the evidence that we're looking at. what's the value of the house to the jurors and you balance that
8:14 am
against the massive inconvenience of putting together a big yellow school bus and a chaperon and getting everyone on and getting to the place. at the end of the day most motions are denied. the thing is in these high profile cases, judges know and parties know they'll be subjected to scrutiny later on. so an interesting thing happens that in these cases requests that normally would be stamped motion denied become motion granted. >> what exactly are they going to see on the most basic level? they get on the bus and show up at aaron hernandez's home? are there things off-limits allowed free reign to walk through his house. i'm confused and interested in what they'll be able to see. >> no two jury views are the same. the prosecution wanted permission to go before hand last night i suppose, and take a look to make sure nothing has been moved around or monkeyed
8:15 am
with. so now the question is it's a very good question. can a juror use the bathroom if they want to? they've been instructed to wear boots because of the weather. can they tramp around in the house and go wherever they like? it's a logistical problem. most of them are denied. >> in this case, does it help one side more than another? >> each side if they want it must have purpose. the trophy case is a great example. there's been all this fighting about whether or not the jurors can see this trophy case. my understanding of judge garsh's order is anything in the house prior can be viewed but anything added to the house has to be moved or covered up. anything after 2013 somebody sort of farming the jury or putting in some evidence that will make him look better. the defendant. like a bible. like maybe a cross on the wall.
8:16 am
just examples. it was alleged in the prosecution's own filings in this case the same thing happened in the o.j. trial. >> so fascinating. we'll have to see if there's any impact and if he'll learn what impact this field trip has on the jury. the first and probably not first of many twists we've seen in this trial so far. thank you. new information coming up this morning showing there was engine trouble before a plane took a deadly plunge into a taiwanese river. did the pilot shut down an engine that was actually working in the seconds they had to react? our aviation experts are going to weigh in. we'll be back. ommmmmmm my new website on squarespace is designed to help you tuck yourself in at night. it features guided meditations soothing melodies, and stories to help you get cozy. ommmmmmm i sincerely hope you dig it.

8:21 am
cnn aviation analyst mary schiavo. one engine went out. we know that. it seems that perhaps they turned off the one working engine. why would a crew do that? >> because they are in a hurry. they're in a very tense situation. they don't have much time and they haven't been trained to properly trouble shoot. i would like to say this is unheard of and it's never happened before but i can name at least three commercial fatal accidents where this exact thing happens. there was a very famous british midlands plane in '89. this was a 737. they heard a bang. they thought it was one engine and in fact it was the other engine as i like to remind people there's no rearview mirrors in the cockpit so it's hard to know which engine has the problem. it's very difficult sometimes to tell particularly one of the keys in prior accidents is if
8:22 am
you had recently switched aircraft. if you were flying an older model and switched to a newer model as they have here. >> just to be clear, if they did have one working engine they would have flown with that before they turned it off, true? >> they could have before they turned it off. once they turn it offer, there are restart procedures in flight restart procedures and had they been at 15,000 feet they could have restarted it and been fine. >> that's exactly what i was going to ask you. how long does it take to restart the engine? remember to our viewers, this happened right after takeoff. the 37 seconds into the flight is when the first stall warning went off. >> realistically once they turned off the good engine, they would not have had enough altitude to restart it. the fatal decision was turning off the good engine. this is not the first time this has happened. i hope it's the last. this is a problem on a twin plane as figuring out which one
8:23 am
you have the problem with and you have to read those instruments very carefully and sometimes they're misleading. >> to that point, news out this morning that all transasia pilots will have to take a written and oral exam if they fly the aircraft within the next four days. that was announced by transasia. what does that tell you? they must be concerned these guys don't know how to fly these planes. >> they're concerned about their training particularly training in emergency situations and this is a worldwide problem. a lot of the training even the united states has done in classroom or in simulators and in fact there have been instances where they have been training for this situation in the field and crashed on training exercises so shutting down one engine and then training on the other is tricky even with a flight instructor onboard. >> thank you so much. finding out with a caused it will be fascinating. >> think of what they were up
8:24 am
against in those 37 seconds. they just had taken off. >> think about passengers inside. one survivor took off the seat belt before the crash and told the woman next to him to do the same. both of them survived. was that the move that saved their lives? we'll talk about the issue of seat belts and how much they help and how much they get in the way of surviving a plane crash. this is just the beginning. jordanian warplanes pounding targets in syria warning more to come delivering on a promise to make terrorists pay for murdering one of their own. >> that's coming up for us. first, cnn's impact your world. how to help those in need. >> charity. seems straightforward, right? you give money to an organization and they take that money and makes sure it goes where it needs to go. charity, like most things is more complicated than it seems. anyone can raise money these days using a crowd funding site like go fund me or crowd sources help for a problem. when it comes to big charities,
8:25 am
many operate a little bit like an investment fund. the idea is they make a profit on your dollar so they can make it go farther. in fact, that's how some nonprofit ceos justify the hefty salary. they squeeze the most out of your donation so they deserve to be paid as well. that's how it is. confused? maybe you should be. we haven't got to the so-called venture capital fin anyet. a foundation might invest in a private company studying a cure. different approaches but all with the same goal. making your donation more efficient. in theory at least. the truth is when it comes to efficiency not all charities are created equal. before you donate go online and do research and find out exactly where your donation is going and how your nonprofit uses its money how effective it is. they should tell you how many

8:30 am
fighters accompanied by u.s. warplanes including f-18s, f-22s and a-10 aircraft. we're told the air strikes were mainly centered on the isis stronghold of raqqa in syria. >> this was the scene in the jordanian capital a short time ago. the queen joined thousands of people demanding death to isis. the queen was holding a poster of the pilot, muath al kaseasbeh, burned alive by isis militants. the operation against isis has been named muath the martyr in honor of the pilot. let's talk about this and bring in our two global affairs analyst, kimberly dosier and james reese. let's talk about the operations we know of publicly and second round of air strikes that jordan just finished up. they talk about several air strikes against isis and they hit training centers, arms and
8:31 am
ammunition depots. why are they on the second go-around? >> it's logistic. support in syria and iraq. if you cut off logistics and equipment, that leaves forward troops in iraq fighting without anything. so that is a very classic way of degrading soldiers by going after logistics. >> kimberly it seems there are two battles being fought by jordan. you see these air strikes going on in syria and in iraq as well and then you see what's happening on the ground in jordan with the queen out there with the demonstrators. it does seem that the regime right now is very keenly aware about the importance of this public relations moment. >> the regime has had a very uncomfortable few months dealing with the population that has been divided about the fight against isis what this has done is taken some of the middle ground in jordan and put them in favor of the fight. when you think about the fact that the country has had
8:32 am
resurgence or surge of refugees from syria and has had to suffer through austerity measures and a lot of jordanians have relatives who have gone to fight against the syrian regime you have a lot of divided loyalties. do something like this to a jordanian pilot, a symbol of the country, and it helps them make up their minds. that's exactly what the kingdom needs to help them redouble their efforts against isis. >> politically, colonel, this is galvanizing. in terms of the logistics of taking on isis themselves, they say this is our war now, i wonder how does jordan do it? the foreign minister in speaking to wolf said clearly it will require everything. he didn't go into detail what that meant but jordan is a small country. how do they sustain a long military campaign like this. >> he looks at their elements of national power like we do. there's a diplomatic aspect. an intelligence. a military aspect. and an economic aspect.
8:33 am
>> no diplomacy when it comes to isis. >> it's king abdullah who i call the warrior king leading the other arab countries diplomatically and bringing them in. one thing we have to watch is jordan does not have the oil base country like saudi and uae. that's where we can help them and help king abdullah with money and allow them to sustain because they want to. they have the will. now we have to help them. >> kimberly let's look at this from the isis side right now. has any of this hurt their recruiting efforts? >> for the target set of people they're going after, young disenfranchised muslims, we hear that they are still getting a thousand new recruits a month. but the problem is that they are only hearing from their own supporters. they don't know or care about how this looks to the outside world in terms of their brutality. this is the same mistake the branch of al qaeda made inside
8:34 am
iraq. it stepped up brutality to control those in its territory and that caused internal descent. the more we see this brutal activity reaching the outside world, those numbers are going to start to draw down and what the obama administration had hoped would happen is the local countries would really redouble their efforts in the fight. we'll see the trend going in that direction. >> to that same train of thought. i want to get your take on a tactic. a new video came out seeming to show life as back to normal if you will. schools, children in the schools learning. women, community coming together. contrast that with not only what we know is brutal tactics but the new u.n. report that listed out the horrific abuses that isis committed against children. what are they trying to do with
8:35 am
this? >> you have to think about the audience. that video is fed to its own supporters saying we are providing security that you can't find anywhere else inside syria or parts of iraq so join us. the u.n. report shows the brutality they used to stay in power. that message has to get to more people so that they see the true side of the regime. until that happens, they're going get followers. that's why they talk about this being a long multigenerational process. the people on the ground have to choose. >> there is something sickening about this. they release this happy school scene. look we're teaching kids math and everything is okay. just awful. coming up for us homeland security funds running out at the end of this month unless congress gets its act together. can they afford to play politics
8:36 am
with groups like isis out there? we'll talk about that next. you hear it every time you get on an airplane. buckle up. some survivors from this horrific plane crash in taiwan say their lives were saved because they unbuckled their seat belts. that's next. [alarms blaring] ohhhhh... whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat. ...rick. it's what you do. ahhhhhhhh! what'd you say? uh-oh! kelly! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. rick. don't walk away from me. ahhhhhhhh!

8:39 am
three weeks from today is when money runs out for the department of homeland security unless congress approves a bill to continue funding that department. that's the problem. the bill has been bogged down. >> they are blocking debate on the bill because amendments would undo the president's executive actions on immigration. earlier this week the president talked about how important he
8:40 am
thinks it is for congress to pass a clean bill given what he says is at stake. >> it's a budget that recognizes our economy flourishes is when america is safe and secure. it invests in our i.t. networks to protect them from malicious actors. it supports our troops and strengthens our border security and it gives us the resources to confront global challenges from isil to russian aggression. we would make a critical error if we avoided making these investments. we can't afford not to. >> so are lawmakers playing politics with homeland security? who is playing politics with the country's homeland security? let's bring in republican congressman john flemming. thank you so much for your time. >> kate great to be with you. >> thank you very much. i think the most important question at this very moment three weeks out congress has left town. you're still in town. they're not even going to be in
8:41 am
town next week. is the department of homeland security going to run out of money? >> at the rate we're going, we are. the bill to fund dhs is held up in the senate and the question is why do democrats want to give social security cards to illegal aliens while depriving paychecks for our border security officers and that's -- >> democrats say why are republicans putting poison pills, if you will into a funding bill that threatens the security of our country? >> because it's a responsibility of congress being an equal branch of government to say to the president that you can't go out and unlawfully violate the constitution and provide for amnesty to over 5 million people here illegally and our main tool to deal with that is defunding the president's actions. >> congressman, you'll have that fight for a long time to come. republicans have controlled both chambers of congress. i'm sure that's a fight you are
8:42 am
ready to welcome. why jam it into a bill that needs to be dealt are right now when immigration question is a very long conversation? >> it's an immediate situation. the president as we speak is creating rent space in crystal city, virginia. he's also hiring up people to process all of this. so if we're going to defund this it must be done now. >> it's not just democrats who disagree. there are republicans in the senate who say they agree with your points on immigration but this is not the fight to have. this is what senator john mccain has. he said we understand what the house did when we pass the bill that took immigration measures out of homeland security. we understand what the house did. we hope they understand our constraints as well. we can't shut down the department of homeland security for threats we have from isis and overseas. if they do not get the money, will that make america less
8:43 am
safe, congressman? >> it would be the president shutting down dhs because we've sent a funding bill over to the senate. it would be democrats who are filibustering this but more than that the american people are on our side. 58% of americans say that we should not provide funding for amnesty for those who are here illegally. >> if it does not get funding, homeland security does that make america less safe? >> actually most of the funding to dhs does not change the employment picture. 85% or more will go to work. perhaps without a paycheck. and they will eventually get their pay even those who don't. so there will be no immediate security effects. there will ultimately be security effects and that's why again it begs the question why do we want to provide earned income tax credits, social security cards, social security
8:44 am
benefits -- if i may finish what i was saying. why do we want to provide these taxpayer benefits to the burden of taxpayers unlawfully while not paying also our workers for dhs? >> speak to those taxpayers, some being the 85% of the department of homeland security that you said will go to work because they're deemed essential but they may go to work without pay even if they get paid back later what do you say to those employees? >> well i say to them that they should call their democrat representatives and have them pass this bill. that's all we have to do is pass it out of the senate and send it onto the president. >> interesting to see how this plays out over the next three weeks. whether or not america compromises its safety after that point. congressman flemming thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate your input here. >> thanks for having me john and kate. >> we'll talk about air safety coming up. new key questions. cannot wearing a seat belt in some instances make the difference in saving your life?
8:45 am
we'll explain this because it has to do with survivors of that dramatic crash we saw last week. they were not wearing belts. what lessons can we learn? this is jim. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation 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.
8:46 am
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 regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. 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. don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding,
8:47 am
unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.
8:49 am
