5:00 am
wonder if there's still a hawaii without hotels around there? beautiful island paradises on the brink of changes, and for one reason this is such an undiscovered gem is the folks that live under that volcano worship it as a living god. they don't want tourists troubling up there. it's a real interesting study in a place that is so pristine and so pure. they're arguing with themselves whether it's a good idea to join the rest of the modern world. >> it's shot beautifully, bill. looking forward to "the wonder list." >> so much so. welcome back. >> thank you. it's good to be back. >> thanks, bill. >> "the wonder list" premiers tonight at 10:00 a.m. eastern. the next hour of your "new day" continues right now. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking news in moscow. take a look at this live picture of march chers who are walking
5:01 am
in memory of boris memtsov. >> he was a fierce and outspoken leader of vladimir putin. he was gunned down as he was walking home from dinner. >> i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. huge crowds as we saw are taking to the streets in the heart of moscow. back to those live pictures here from the russian capitol. we've seen the number of people here increase steadily. they're paying tribute to boris nemtsov. he was shot and killed two days ago on a bridge 100 yards from the kremlin. he planned to lead an opposition rally. this is a march. they're moving through the streets, a march for him. they will actually pass by the spot where he was gunned down. it's now covered in flowers. >> we've seen a lot of flags and black ribbons, russian flags and
5:02 am
people holding signs that say he died for the future. some say they were afraid of you, boris. and i'm not afraid. let's bring in fred pleitgen who is there and matthew is at the bridge. fred, we want to start with you. we see more and more people coming out. is this a stronger turnout than people expected primarily? >> reporter: yeah, it certainly is stronger than they would have gotten if this would have been the opposition rally to criticize russia's policies in ukraine which was what it was supposed to be originally. the march is actually going down the embankment of the muskovar river. we'll ask our cameraman to pan over. as you said, there's so many russian flags there. there's also the white flags, orange flags. those are from the political movements that boris nemtsov was part of. this was much, much bigger than
5:03 am
it would have been had this been an opposition rally to protest any of the policies of vladimir putin and his government. this is a march of mourning and this is very much draped in patriotism. it's one as you can see with the russian flags that the people are carrying that wants to transcend politics, that wants to transcend the political battles that have been going on, the political battles between people like vladimir putin and boris nemtsov as people are united in being absolutely disgusted and saddened by what happened to boris nemtsov. one of the interesting things that this rally wants to show and i think is showing if you see the turnout, if you see also the whole makeup of the rally with all of those russian flags is that they're saying no matter which side of politics you're on in russia, boris nemtsov was a patriot and he is someone who is going to be remembered as a patriot no matter what was going
5:04 am
on politically. >> heads up in the control room. can we get that shot back of the military line there. that one. if we could put that up on the screen and drop the banner to show that military response at the march and vladimir putin, fred, still remarkably popular. what will be the message, the value at the end of the day for the opposition movement? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. he sticontinues to gain popular as the crisis in ukraine goes on. one thing we have to keep in mind, for many russians they believe russia is on the right side of that. they believe vladimir putin is pressured by the west and he's standing up to the west. one of the things we've seen before all of this happened to boris nemtsov is that this was very much fractured and marginalized. if you had taken a look at opposition rallies, they were drawing fewer and fewer people
5:05 am
into it. one of the things for the opposition, this gives them somewhat of a jump start. it gets them to be within the conversation again. on the other hand though, of course the martha we ach that w seeing doesn't seem to be political. people are outraged by what happened, it's not one that's directed towards the policies of vladimir putin. it will be interesting to see once this crowd goes past the kremlin which i believe will be half an hour from now, of course especially the place where boris nemtsov is where he was gunned down, to see how emotional people are going to be then. >> fred, i understand that you did get some new details on the investigation itself into nemtsov's murder. what have you learned this morning? >> reporter: yeah, it's interesting because one of the things that's been going on, of course, the police have been trying to gather information. the police also had a lot of video from surveillance cameras
5:06 am
around the kremlin area which is of course pretty much the highest security area in all of russia. and originally they had thought that they had identified a white vehicle which they believe could have been used in the killing of boris nemtsov. that vehicle was later found in the parking lot and there was surveillance video showing people getting out of that vehicle. it has apparently turned out that that vehicle the police says was not related to what happened to boris nemtsov. the police also are questioning witnesses. they've actually just in the last couple of minutes announced that they have put together a hotline for people to call so they're still looking for people to come forward. one of the other things that's happened is that the first sort of working theory that the police had was that a white car had stopped, someone had shot from the car and then sped off again, but it seems as though the surveillance video that we saw from the actual moments that boris nemtsov was killed seems to indicate that, in fact, it seems as though someone might have been waiting on the bridge
5:07 am
hiding on the bridge and then shot boris nemtsov. if you know that bridge, there are stairs that lead up on the sides of the bridge that you could easily hide behind if you were trying to stalk someone there. >> fred pleitgen covering this memorial march for boris nemtsov. thank you. we're going to cnn senior international correspondent matthew chance who was live at the sight where nemtsov was killed. also at the site right next to where they will be marching. as you can see, it is extraordinary not only the amount of people but the amount of security, matthew. >> reporter: yeah, that's certainly been one of the features. there's been large numbers of people along the route of the march, they say to guarantee the security of these mourners.
5:08 am
it's certainly an attempt by the authorities to make sure that the rally is moving along, the mourning march is moving along as swiftly as possible. this policeman is telling them to put down their flowers and move on. this is where boris nemtsov was gunned down friday evening. that's the mountain of flowers that we've been seeing over the course of the past several days. it's growing by the minute right now as people come to pay their respects and to leave personal messages here. this is the end point of this opposition rally, of this mourning march. you see some of the messages there, some of them saying boris. one saying propaganda kills. and that's a reference of animosity of anyone an opponent of the kremlin. a citizen enemy of the state.
5:09 am
it's in that context that he was killed. they're expressing the shock of what happened. >> matthew chance, good to see you this morning. thank you. the homeland security funding fight is expected to heat back up this week. why house speaker john boehner could face some backlash from members of his own party. wvo: caring for someone with alzheimer's means i am a lot of things. i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, like aricept®, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. vo: namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr
5:10 am
or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had a seizure disorder difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about any medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body... and may increase side effects. the most common side effects... are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. wvo: all my life, he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about adding... once-daily namenda xr.
5:11 am

5:13 am
modern technology can do so much, but can it uncover the real story of jesus? cnn's newest series, "finding jesus" is taking an in depth look at the artifacts surrounding his life and death. this week's premiere episode looks at what may be the most famous religious aspects of all, the shroud of turin. >> for him, the stains on the cloth are like a fingerprint, unique to one person. >> if this cloth was wrapped around the head of another person who had maybe even suffered the same kind of torture and wounds then the stains would have a different shape and a different format.
5:14 am
>> for guskin, this was to prove critical because when the team compared these bloodstains on the sudarium with those on the shroud, they made an extraordinary discovery. the bloodstains appeared to match. >> so we can conclude that the two cloths we used at the same time for the same event to cover the same body. >> joining me for more, michael mckinley. gentlemen, thank you. i'd like to start with you. why do you think the shroud of turin is not the most famous but most debated. >> the science and technology and all of these advances can
5:15 am
solve every mystery. there's nothing left to be explained. science and the advances we've had in research have only deepened the mystery of the shroud. it's not until the invention of photography in the 19th century that we realized the negatives of the shroud came out that there is a three-dimensional image came on there. it has not been resolved. the mystery has only deepened. >> so, michael, to scholars who can test the shroud's authenticity saying it dates to the middle ages when many recorded and the relics surfaced across europe, what do you say to these people? what is your reaction to their arguments? >> well, our reaction is there's a better story. in the series and the book we asked the question, how does this object from first century
5:16 am
jerusalem get to turin and we found an answer. from there, what does science have to say about it. so i think the medieval forgery. there's also the other point, if it was, where are the others? >> even the roman catholic church insisted that the shroud was used to wrap the body of jesus? is it david? its official position as i understand it, the shroud, it's an important tool for faith regardless of its authenticity, is that right? >> that's exactly right. look, you know, your faith, the christian faith does not rise and fall on whether the shroud is a medieval forgery or whether it was from the first century, but it does -- the catholic church considers it an icon, something that the faithful can look at and identify with the sufferings of jesus on the cross. in fact, it just -- if it is real, it tells us so much about the brutality of crucifixion and what happened, not only to jesus but to thousands of other
5:17 am
enemies of the roman empire. so, again, this isn't, you know, a question that's going to undermine anybody's faith. it may not conviction the skeptics to believe either, but i think it's a way, again, of deepening what you believe about jesus and certainly, you know, providing more knowledge about what he went through about the whole relics industry, about christian history. >> michael, real quickly. what was your take away here from this episode? >> my take away was that i learned more about the shroud than i thought i knew and that science -- bringing science to it has only deepened the mystery of the shroud itself. >> michael mckinley and david gibson, appreciate seeing both of you this morning. thanks for being here. >> thank you. don't forget the new cnn series "finding jesus" premiere tonight on cnn. there's a lot of news happening on capitol hill this week. t. but when i started having back pain,

new is video this morning of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the tarmac getting ready to leave for what he calls an historic visit to the u.s. while on the tarmac he told reporters, here's the quote, i will be the messenger of all the people of israel, including those who agree with me and those who don't agree with me. we're also getting new information about netanyahu's upcoming speech to congress on tuesday. it will run an estimated 30 to 40 minutes and officials emphasized that the prime minister will be very respectful
5:22 am
of the president and the white house. and netanyahu reportedly wants to de-partisan the issue of his speech to congress. how will this play out on capitol hill? let's ask chief congressional correspondent and this week's host of "state of the union" dana bash. is this possible to de-partisan, using their word, the visit? >> good luck. the tone of the address is going to be an attempt to reach out to all americans to sort of tone it down. the reality though is that he is facing a congress where you have republicans who agree with him on the issue, which is causing the rift, which is should the u.s. be engaged in these diplomatic discussions on iran's nuclear program, again, republicans agree with that, and democrats for the most part, not all of them, mortgage -- for the
5:23 am
most part think it's bad. so that is sort of at the heart of the differences between netanyahu and the white house and also between most democrats and republicans. >> and now we've also got to talk about the funding. temporary extension runs out in a couple of days, right? >> that's right. at the end of the week. i was at the capitol until the wee hours on friday night reporting on this stunning defeat of a bid just to keep the department running for three weeks. conservatives defeated it because they are sticking to their principle saying they do not want to fund the department at all without also getting rid of the president's immigration plan and republican leaders were pretty stunned. and there is a term that the allies of the house speaker of john boehner there could be a bid as soon as this week to get
5:24 am
rid of him. i'm going to be talking to one of the leaders in the next hour on state of the union, one of the leaders of the conservative wing, if you will, of the republican party in the house who thinks that it is wrong to go ahead and fund the department without sticking to principle. we'll see how far he's willing to take that. >> i'd love to hear if they have coalesced around a single alternative. that's been the challenge up to this point for people who want john boehner out of that spot. dana bash, looking forward to it. >> thank you. >> stay here for "state of the union" with dana bash right here at 9:00 on cnn. the tension in venezuela is rising as several americans have been arrested. we'll tell you what the president has accused these people of doing.

for most people, earning cash back ends here, at the purchase. but there's a new card in town. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay . with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided.

nicholas maduro only said one of those held is an american pilot with lacking roots. >> maduro announced a series of measures including visa requirements for u.s. citizens and a downsizing of the u.s. embassy in caracas to counter act u.s. interference. a pastor in minnesota who is wanted on 59 counts of sexual assault has been arrested in brazil. u.s. marshals say victor bernard sexually abused two young girls who were members of his church. bernard was featured on cnn's "the hunt" with john walsh last year and then again last week. this man hunt started after a two-year investigation after allegations were made. bernard was preaching to a religious group in minnesota. two astronauts in the middle of a space walk right now. pictures for you here as they work to install equipment that will allow private commercial spacecraft to dock with the
5:30 am
space station. the space walk expected to last 6 1/2 hours. good luck to them. we are always so grateful that you spent some time with us in the morning. make sunday a really good one. >> we will do the same. "inside politics" with john king starts right now. a conservative testing ground for republican presidential hopefuls. >> we could have had hillary here, but we couldn't find a foreign nation to foot the bill. >> well, sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shutup. >> scott walker raises eyebrows comparing his showdown with unions to fighting isis. >> i can take on 100,000 protesters, i can do the same across the world. >> and jeb bush answers the boos -- >> wait a minute, hang on. >> i'm marking them down as neutral and i want to be your second choice. >> plus, ask speaker john boehner about republican disarray in congress and he'll ow
