9:00 pm
the dog's owner said the vet told her there was enough poison to kill a horse. anderson? >> unbelievable. so sad. that does it for us. our coverage continues with cnn international. new protests in the u.s. after police shoot and kill another unarmed teenager. plus a university fraternity is kicked off campus after a racist video is leaked. and never before seen video shows the moment the boston marathon bomber left his explosives and the chaos that followed. i'm zain asher. >> and i'm john vause. this is cnn newsroom. okay. we begin with two big stories about race in america.
9:01 pm
the first is the outrage going on right now in madison, wisconsin after an unarmed young man is shot dead by police. >> there have been days of protest since 19 year old tony robinson was killed on friday. his family says they are not anti-police but they are against a systematic targeting of young black males. >> we want to bring in gary tuckman joining us from madison, wisconsin. obviously anybody watching will draw parallels between what's happening there in madison, wisconsin and what happened in ferguson missouri. but it appears the way the police chief there in madison is handling this is very different. >> reporter: zain much different. the demonstrations have been very peaceful. today you had hundreds of people
9:02 pm
marching down the streets. in this city you also had demonstrators in the halls of the state capital, and there were no problems whatsoever. peaceful demonstrations, as we said. this is all about a police officer who this past friday shot and killed a 19 year old man who it turns out was unarmed. >> we will not accept madison police department shooting one of our children! >> reporter: the basic fact is not being disputed. a 19 year old biracial man was shot and killed by a police officer named matt kinney inside this home. but there are so many questions about why it happened. this past friday night a call came in here to madison police headquarters that a disturbance was taking place on the street. as officers raced to the scene they were told additional calls were coming in about the disturbance. and one particular name was being mentioned. >> look for a male black, light skinned, outside yelling and
9:03 pm
jumping in front of cars, 19 years of age, name is tony robinson. >> reporter: the calls about tony robinson continued to come in to police. and then a man called saying he'd been assaulted by robinson. >> the victim will be waiting at 1146 willy street. no shirt on right now. >> reporter: and about 30 seconds later. >> got another call for the same suspect. tried to strangle another patron. >> reporter: let's give you a lay of the land regarding the recordings you just heard. that building with the red awning is the restaurant where the man who said he was victimized was waiting for police. right down there is the gas station where robinson was seen without his shirt. then you can see the police cars here. this is the house where it happened. officer kinney went up to that door where the tarp is, and that's where the shots were
9:04 pm
fired. tony robinson was their friend. >> i heard wrestling, and things being knocked over. and my kitchen ceiling kind of shook. and the light. i figured, you know, something was going on. i heard more somebody go down the stairs. then i heard the shots. >> reporter: you heard the gunshots? >> yes. >> reporter: and how many did you hear? >> four to six. >> reporter: robinson was pronounced dead at the hospital. the police chief said robinson struck his officer in the head when he went in the house. robinson has had problems with the law. he pleaded guilty to participating in an armed robbery in madison last year and was serving probation as a result. the officer who shot him has been placed on paid administrative leave. did he have a taser with him? and did he use the taser first?
9:05 pm
>> that's something we won't comment on. typically i will tell you that an officer won't use a taser unless they have lethal backup. >> reporter: so if he doesn't have someone else with a gun you're not supposed to use the taser. >> that's correct. >> reporter: an investigation is now under way into the shooting death of tony robinson. it will take a minimum of four to six months to complete. people have been coming by all this evening to light candles and to leave objects in this makeshift memorial in front of the house where this young man was shot. there's an awful lot you can learn from the way things were handled in ferguson missouri, and the atmosphere here is very different. for example the name of this police officer was released receipt away. that's not what happened in ferguson. you also have the police chief say that this was his quote, that it's clear that this man was unarmed. he wasn't under any obligation to say this right away but it's an important fact that could certainly complicate the investigation. but the effort to be more open
9:06 pm
seems to have made this a much different situation, because like we said there have been many protests many demonstrations over the past few days and absolutely no violence that we know of zain? >> and the police chief visited the victim's family immediately after the shooting. let's hope those protests remain peaceful. in the meantime we await the results of that investigation. gary tuckman for us in madison, wisconsin, we appreciate t thank you. and now to the other big story involving race in the united states. officials' university of oklahoma are considering their options on how to punish the fraternity members on a bus chanting racial slurs. >> and what they were chanting is absolutely disgusting. the sigma alpha epsilon chapter has been shut down there. and the president says they will not be back. >> reporter: caught on video, members of the sigma alpha
9:07 pm
epsilon fraternity chant out a song using the "n" word. two short cell phone videos on a bus packed with fraternity members. chelsey davis was one of the first to see the video. >> this wasn't something they learned overnight. it was something well-known well versed that everybody on that bus felt privileged to say and to proudly clap at. >> reporter: it was davis who tweeted the university's president about the unspeakable bigotry saying quote, racism is alive at the university of oklahoma. she's the co-founder of unheard, a black student alliance advocating for change on campus. >> what makes it okay to say these things? nobody's made it mandated that they have cultural sensitivity training?
9:08 pm
>> reporter: while someone took the clip anonymously -- >> it's sad. it's hurtful. it's just really hurtful that students request think that this is okay. >> reporter: o.u. president david boren minced no words. >> we have no room for racists and bigots at this university. i'd be glad if they left. >> reporter: on monday the university said s.a.e. had to leave. students seeing packing vehicles. and a graffiti wall appears to read "tear it down." >> it's absolutely appalling and disgusting. whenever people take it upon themselves to do something like this it's it affects the entire organization. >> reporter: one student i spoke to says she was shocked that
9:09 pm
s.a.e. was the fraternity caught on camera because there are frats much worse. she's calling for the entire greek system to be investigated. norman oklahoma. >> a lot of people are praising the president of oklahoma university for stepping in so quickly. we'll have more on our next half hour. stay tuned. my live interview with the young woman you saw in the piece who helped blow the whistle. >> the president even offered to pay the bus fare. >> he's so keen to get them out of there. we shall move on here. day three of the boston marathon bombing trial included never before seen video of the 2013 attack. dzhokhar tsarnaev is accused of carrying out the two bombings along with his brother. >> his brother actually later died in a shootout with police. so tsarnaev is facing 30 criminal karges alone. here's our deborah feyerick.
9:10 pm
>> reporter: the tsarnaev brothers rounded the area together. tamerlin in the lead, the younger dzhokhar in the tail. he stood among spectators, several of them children. at 2:49 records show using a disposable phone used the day before. he calls hayes brother. moments later, the first bomb explodes. dzhokhar moves quickly in the opposite direction, reaching the corner just as the second bomb detonates. neither dzhokhar nor tamerlin have their backpacks. less than 23 minutes after the terror attack dzhokhar tsarnaev enters a near by whole foods and pays cash for a half-gallon of milk. he leaves only to return moments later to swap the milk.
9:11 pm
the driver speeds off. that night under one of two twitter accounts he posts "ain't no love in the hart of the city. stay safe people." he returned to his dorm room. he's seen here at 9:05 the next night, entering the university fitness center with a friend and staying for about an hour. the fbi gathered 4,000 hours of surveillance videos photos and home movies from that day. witness jessica kinski, the remnants of her legs sticking out from her dress, was wheeled up a ramp to testify. she described the bomb saying it did exactly what it was designed to do tear the skin and muscles away leaving body parts exposed. kinski instinctively reached to help her husband when she saw his detached leg and dangling
9:12 pm
foot not realizing she herself was on fire. prosecutors showed the burned camisole and hoodie she was wearing at the time. she says it matches all my burn scars. prosecutors offered another twitter account that belongs to dzhokhar tsarnaev. the posts are more radicalize. they talk about al awlaki. a train derail mants in the u.s. state of north carolina is captured on camera phone. take a look at this. >> oh, my goodness. >> oh, my gosh. >> oh, my god! oh my god! oh! >> absolutely frightening. imagine that. the amtrak train is actually traveling from charlotte, north carolina to new york when it hit a tractor-trailer stuck on the tracks. you hear those women screaming there. the force of the collision
9:13 pm
caused the train to partially derail. >> eyewitnesses there saw it coming. 220 passengers and crew members on the train when it happened. 55 of those passengers were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries. no one was killed. the state highway patrol says no criminal charges will be filed. this is the third major train accident in the united states in just the past six weeks. a story developing now out of argentina. ten people have been killed including two french olympians after two helicopters were involved in a mid-air collision. they were on their way to a town to film a reality tv show. the victims include eight french nationals and two ar jen ten yans who are believed to be part of the crew there. >> filming a survival show, the crash happened within minutes of takeoff. witnesses say the weather at the time of the crash was apparently good. the names of the good we are told camille fewfaw the third
9:14 pm
victim that we know of at this point, florence octode a long distance sailor. all of them killed. >> that's shocking images of the crash there. when we come back two republicans are in the sights of the president again. also accusations that other dogs may have been poisoned at a well-known dog show in london. that's up next. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

9:17 pm
welcome back everyone. u.s. republican lawmakers are once again operating behind the white house's back over iran's nuclear programs. >> in football they call it aepd around. more than 40 senator have written an open letter to iran warning that any agreement not approved by congress won't hold up after the end of president obama's term in 2016. michelle kosinski has the details. >> reporter: 40 republican senators put their names to this open letter today, informing iran that it may not fully understand our constitutional system and warning that the
9:18 pm
senate must ratify international agreements which, in reality isn't the case for a deal like this. and they go on to say any nuclear agreement not voted in by congress will be viewed as quote, nothing more than an executive agreement between president obama and ayatollah khomeini. this president had a pointed response. >> i think it's somewhat ironic to see some members of congress wanting to make common cause with the hardliners in iran. it's an unusual coalition. >> reporter: the surprising move was led by senator tom cotton who today defended it. >> the only thing unprecedented is an american president negotiating a deal on state-sponsored terrorism. >> reporter: it's called a
9:19 pm
desperate call to sabotage negotiations. >> it diminishes us as a country. >> reporter: senator durbin says the letter weakens america's hand and had a warning of his own. if these negotiations fail a military response to iran developing their nuclear capability becomes more likely. these republican senators should think twice about whether their police cal stunt is worth the threat of another war in the middle east. >> the fact is they're against a deal. if they're so ashamed of that position why wouldn't they say it publicly. >> reporter: they would only say it interferes. congress would have some role in this process, ultimately to remove the tough sanctions against iran or not, if that was part of the deal. but interestingly, the white house revealed today that that would only happen years down the road from a deal. a number of years, they said after iran proves itself willing
9:20 pm
to comply. ma michelle caany michelle kosinski. the white house has declared venezuela a security threat. president obama's executive order accuses the officials of limiting press freedoms and violent persecution of political dissent. national unrest began escalating a year ago. protesters demanded freedom of speech and better security as well. the controversy surrounds the murder of boreis nemtsov. president putin says he ordered the annexation of crimea weeks earlier than thought. we have more on the extraordinary revelation.
9:21 pm
>> reporter: five suspects in the murder of boris nemtsov are led into jail with their heads bowed, but a sixth suspect never made it into custody. as police closed in, officials say he brew himself up. all of the men are chechen, one of them confessed. >> i love the prophet mohammed. >> reporter: that islamist extremists could have killed nemtsov because he spoke out against the "charlie hebdo" attacks. an investigative journalist left because of the threats that she received. >> what else was he going to say? was he going to say i killed him? was he going to say i'm going to step aside and let an independent investigation explore the possibility that i was actually the murderer or that i gave formal or informal orders to have him killed?
9:22 pm
>> reporter: the despite the fact that he was killed near the kremlin, there are conflicting reports of whether it was captured on security cameras. the only witness was nemtsov's girlfriend. she was interviewed and quickly fled to her native ukraine. nemtsov was supposedly just days away from issuing a report exposing russia's involvement in the fighting in ukraine. now putin himself is revealing what he said the moment he decided to annex crimea. in a forthcoming documentary putin describes a meeting. >> i said to all colleagues we have to start working on the return of crimea to russia. >> reporter: just a few days later, unidentified gunmen took over the parliament. analysts are now worrying about what an unchecked vladimir putin might do next. >> if he were to decide for example to challenge the baltic
9:23 pm
states he could conduct provocations there the united states would be forced under article v of the nato alliance to stop aggression in the baltic states. so that's a very clear danger. >> reporter: now as every move of vladimir putin is watched very carefully. they're pushing for clarity in the nemtsov investigation. they're hoping for not just another whitewash of justice. brian todd cnn, washington. again, we're going to take a short break. when we come back one of the world's most prestigious dog shows is claiming that more dogs were poisoned at its dog show. stay with us. the lexus command performance sales event has begun. command track-tested precision with the fastest-growing automotive luxury brand on the road. including the exhilarating is. powerful gs. and first-ever rc coupe. with more new models than ever there's never been a better time to experience lexus performance. during the command performance sales event.

9:27 pm
belgium, he was dead. the dog's owner says an autopsy later revealed jagger had been poisoned and that it was enough poison to kill a horse. she has no doubt his death is the result of foul play. >> we do not want to think this was the act of a fellow exhibiter. hopefully, jagger was just the wrong dog on the wrong place at the wrong time. >> reporter: a protester interrupts the 2015 best in show with a sign saying mutts against crufts. there's never been an incident like the one involving jagger and they're saddened by the news. >> we've spoken to the owners and our heartfelt sympathies go out to them. we understand that the toxicology report is due out next week. but until that time we cannot know the cause of the tragedy. >> reporter: they are notifying the police as they mourn the loss of their much-loved dog.

9:32 pm
muffat. another said he is sad for his friends and left horrified by the crash. the family of a teen killed in the u.s. state of wisconsin wants peaceful protest and not violence. tony robinson was killed friday night. his family says they are not anti-police but that his death marks the systematic targeting of police on black men. the school's president says they've severed ties with the sigma alpha epsilon fraternity. and they have until midnight to pack their things to go. the school students are not racist, they say, and that this
9:33 pm
behavior goes against what the university stands for. >> i was angered. i was outraged. and saddened, because we've worked so hard to create a real sense of family and community on our campus. and 99.9% of our students you know really care about each other. they really respect each other. and then to have a small number of people do that, it was unbelievable that this could have possibly happened with o.u. students. sooners are not racists. they're not bigots. they are people who respect each other and care about each other. for the sake of our students and the values that are represented here. when something happens that is so contrary to the values of our university i thought we had to take action decisive action and take it immediately. >> reporter: mr. boren, you said a small number of people. there have people who have come on cnn and other broadcasts and saying these are just a small number of people who were caught. this is pervasive throughout the greek system not only in
9:34 pm
oklahoma but across the country and that many of the leaders on those campuses have turned a blind eye to it. they just happened to be caught. >> well i think that it's it is happening all across our country. i agree with you. it's mott just the greek system. it's not just colleges and universities. it's ferguson missouri. it's all sorts of elements of our society are involved. and i think the only way you stop it the only way you put it a stop to it is to have zero tolerance when it is found out. i think clearly some of our students wanted this exposed. they wanted this video out there. and i've asked them to let me know, please when there are other things like this that happened. >> i want to bring in chelsey davis, a head of a group of students advocating for change. we heard the president of your university, david boren saying that it is unbelievable that
9:35 pm
this could have possibly occurred with o.u students. >> i wasn't surprised at all. i wasn't surprised at the things that were being said. more so i was disgusted at the fact that these were ou students and speaking about me about my peers and my friends in these derogatory and using these derogatory terms. i was just absolutely disgusted. but unfortunately, i was not shocked. >> i'm sure a lot of people were absolutely disgusted when they saw that video, myself included. i've got to ask you, though is shutting down sae going far enough? >> i think shutting down the chapter is not enough most definitely. that the university needs to go above and beyond these students. every party involved male or female. everybody on that bus needs to be expelled from the university. it is hate speech. i'm pretty sure there are plenty
9:36 pm
of rules within the student conduct. this is not enough and i hope that the university are really punishes them -- [ ding noise ] >> i'm not sure if you recognized any of the students but if you ever happened to bump into them at campus what would you say to them? >> i would use the moment as a moment of education. things that you said are culturally insensitive. many people unfortunately come from backgrounds where they're not culturally aware of minorities where they've never seen a person of color. so it could be a case of ignorance, but that does not negate the fact that is not acceptable. i would educate my peers as to what is right and what is wrong. we will not stand for this. it is unacceptable and extremely offensive. >> ignorance is absolutely no excuse. but were you surprised at all that someone on that bus, who is part of that fraternity chose to
9:37 pm
record their peers and send you that video. why did they do that? and why did they choose that route as opposed to speaking up? >> we were not given the video by whoever shot it unfortunately. i'm not sure what their motives were when they were shooting this video. i'm not sure if they knew that's what was going to escalate. i'm not entirely sure. i'm not sure. >> okay. well i'm so sorry that a lot of the students there, african-american students at ou are going through this right now. but we meesht you coming on and sharing your opinion with us. >> thank you for having me. thank you for having me. >> of course. okay well now to italy where they may have smashed a new world record one which has stood since the 1920s. they probably did not want this world record. local residents may be digging out for any kind of celebration. as much as 8 inches of snow fell in 18 hours. >> 256 centimeters.
9:38 pm
>> i am grateful to be living in atlanta. >> let's bring in pedram javaheri. >> it's more than boston's had for the entire year. box boston let it go. >> boston was the talk of a lot of people's discussion when it came to january and february. snowstorms every single week it seemed like. this particular event 18 hours, more snow than all of january and february combined. >> what's better to get it all at once? >> yeah i don't know either. >> i'm sure the kids if they have to skip school will be very excited about that. >> this is 190 kilometers east of rome. the records are really incredible. you take a look at photographs of people literally climbing up mounds of snow, and this coming down in one night's time getting up to the first story of some buildings across the region. this region sits at 4,000 feet
9:39 pm
high. so high elevation, notorious for snowfall. and i'm showing a locater. they see tremendous snowfall. they've seen 50 to 60 inches before in 24 hours. but the world record's potentially been shattered because what has happened. and officials will be out here trying to verify this record. there's the new potential 24 hour record up to 101 inches coming down 256 centimeters. that's the world's tallest man, from turkey he is 8'3" or 98.8 inches tall. that snow amount would get up above his head. previous record was out of colorado at 76 inches in the 1920s. and there you go boston the winter of 2014/2015. 105 inches of snowfall.
9:40 pm

9:45 pm
town. >> sectarianism is one of the things that concerns me very much. and of course it's the root of the iranian presence in iraq. there's a strong likelihood as they move into tikrit and perhaps mosul that you could have a total disintegration of the entire country. this is why we need to watch very carefully what's going on in tikrit. >> reporter: the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff warning. if tikrit goes badly, the u.s. hopes that iraqi forces would soon move to retake mosul, iraq's second largest city could be delayed for months. perhaps the most crucial decision still to be made could dempsey recommend u.s. troops be on the ground in iraq or in syria? >> if the commander on the ground approaches me or the secretary of defense and agrees
9:46 pm
that the introduction of special operations forces to accompany iraqis or the new syrian forces if we believe that's necessary to achieve our objectives we will make that recommendation. >> reporter: some say dempsey was speaking hypothetically, but two weeks ago, the pentagon was already talking about it. >> this is an area that's actively under discussion right now, what manner of support would we give to these trained opposition members when they go back into syria. >> reporter: but general dempsey also noting that iran's help if it works, could provide extra momentum for those iraqi forces to move and take their next objective, mosul. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. we want to update you now on a story that is developing out of argentina. ten people have been killed. that includes two olympians. after two helicopters were involved in a mid-air collision. this was a group that was on their way to film a reality tv
