3:02 am
sings they were shot and wounded. investigators say that they haves leads, but no breaks yet. they're making a change and describing if there was an ambush. listen to what the st. louis county police chief had to say about this on thursday compared to last night. >> this is really an ambush is what it is. you can not see that it's coming. you're defenseless from the fact that it's happening to you at the time. that's something that is very difficult couple to guard against when you have a group of officers standing in a large group, and then, you know, you have gun fire directed at them. >> it was a tragedy by the way. it underminds everything that we're trying to do. the possibility and having all
3:03 am
the officers standing there together and the fact that two of these were hurt, that they were not targeted. >> okay. so maybe a discrept pen si there. okay. to ryan young. what's the latest on the manhunt ryan? >> reporter: well, that's a small component. they're wanting to find who fired the shot. the reward is getting close to $10,000 and maybe getting pushed more what the police officers are focused on is the idea of people continuing to give tips so that they can develop the suspects more. the community has seemed to slow down, and they still want to find the two people that they sort of identify and not given us any details and move forward with the case. >> okay. let's talk about the mayor of ferguson what is the city saying about him. he is saying that he is staying
3:04 am
put. what are the people living there saying? >> we have watched this evolve and when you're here the focus was ton ferguson and the police department and then the chief stepped down. people wondered if it was next. there are people calling for action. all of them were here and he believes that he had is voted in and we talked recently about the fact that he is staying put. >> why should they trust you because you were here in the madness that unfolded in the city? >> sure. i can tell you that there are ways to remove me if that's the will of the people. i have stood for office five times over the last decade and won every time. this past time a year ago i was unopposed for office. >> so you're not going anywhere? >> unless the residence decide to move me. that's not the indication that i
3:05 am
get. >> now, there's been a change in the atmosphere here and early on yesterday we only saw one protester standing outside of the police department. people are calling for calm. they want to be an arrest made and the investigation and manhunt continues. >> okay. thank you. live in fermg son. okay. we want to get to the other big store are erie at that we're watching. unicef says that a monster cyclone has killed six people, and it's fear that had this toll could rise. tropical storm pam was a category five when it hit. made a detect hit in port villa. they tore apart homes and knocked down trees. shelter, food and water all needed here and they tell cnn there is incredible destruction.
3:06 am
>> it looks like an absolute bomb has hit it. it's devastating. i have just been through and driving around where you can drive through because there are a will the of roads that have been blocked off. they have fallen in piles so high in some places that you can barely see on the top. the water is incredibly rough. there are some villages that have just been absolutely deaf mated and our local huts that are native have been blown away. with with tthe winds last night sounded like the ocean. that's how strong it was. it drawned out the way and the sound of the wind for the psych loan shutters. these are some of the most
3:07 am

3:08 am
embracing and development, they have the first concrete floor and a roof house. so evacuation as we define it and taking shelter, does not exist there. >> so let's bring in ivan. just wondering where this thing is headed now? >> well, it's away from them. think category five and katrina and this is a category five hurricane paralleling the florida keys. the difference is that as you heard from the report there the villages here cannot sustain that kind of force, that kind of storm surge because we're talking of structures that are not build from concrete. a lot of people and villages live in huts and a will the of villages do. hundreds of people have been completely wiped out. this is the kind of story that
3:09 am
we're talking about here. 155 mime an hour wind. here are the dangerous winds. that's the capital city, and now it's moving away. so the worst of the storm is now do done and going to continue. look at this. this is the worst case scenario and that's the capital and the eye and needle went along them here. it is equal to a category nooif hurricane and gusts up to 200 miles an hour. a prepared american city would have significant damage from the storm. imagine the people in the south pacific islands. it's going to be a disaster. i think that we're just debeginning. the clean up that's underway here is just unfolding in
3:10 am
vanuatu. >> thank you so much. i could think of only people clinging to coconut trees. >> yeah. we will get about the devastation and more from wear and he got a first time look again before this killer cyclone struck. a rock in the troops and they're gaining ground against isis in a city with strong symbolic values. he weigh in on the importance here. plus new doubts about that alleged secret service drunk driving scandal. what sources are now telling cnn about that. ready for another reason to switch to t-mobile? get america's best unlimited 4g lte family plan.

right now iraq forces are edging for victory in tikrit. they're trying to fight off militants and look at the video that we're getting in this morning. they took control of a military hospital afew blocks away from the palace. they have lost 25 percent of the territo territory that they once had. it's a much different skooep 100 miles south. isis has launch major offenses there and killing 40 iraq soldiers after blowing up the headquarters. i want to talk to former operator joshua cats.
3:15 am
thank you for being with us. it's one step forward and back every time in iraq. how confident are you that the iraq and the kurtish can defeat them without troops being on the ground there? >> well, there are the other forces of the iran military and special forces and shiat. they're a lot of forces here from a lot of different places that are trying to combat and take back land from isis, but they're having a lot of trouble. that trouble is going to continue and without a rebust u.s. plan and pulling together and using our own military and the outcome here is doubtful unfortunately. >> well, and the fight seems to be modifying a bit. we had earlier this week horan
3:16 am
coming out and making the announcement and via the announcement that they're expecting the pledge. how might those two actually merge together? >> we saw this with al qaeda and groups around the world that were pledging support and right now b o oko harams but as they expand the operations, that alliance becomes more important to watch, and it gives them a base of operations in other places. so we have to look at and be mindful of the expansion of these alliances, but operationally right this minute there's not very much going on between the two. >> but at some point do you see
3:17 am
isis giving them resources such as money and weapons subpoena trying to facilitate the transfers and if so, is there targets to try and stop them in the process of. is that where the military might shift? >> so that's what the great men and woman are looking at and the partners around the world are looking at. that exchange of information and the exchange of ideas and exchange of personnel tactics and even operations. in the future as they move and as isis continues to expand, that becomes more and more likely, but we're definitely watching those links very closely. >> the white house they have been reluctant to call isis because they say that using the term gives them legit. i want to hear what was said on the topic.
3:18 am
>> they're terrorist, criminals and many of them are psycho path thugs, murders who use a religious concept and mask themselves in that religious construct. i think that it's injustice to the tannates. >> what's the reaction, joshua? >> i think that this is an unfortunate debate. we really have yet to define the enemy. i think that the current authorization of the force demonstrates that. we're unable to find that this is the radicalization. it does not mean that all of them are like that. that means that we have the identify that there's a radical process going on. without having that conversation and the acknowledgment we're ill
3:19 am
equipped to deal with it. >> okay. joshua katz and we appreciate your incite and being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> victor. new struggles and sources tell cnn that the initial accounts of this so called drunk driving incident may not be totally true. we have the latest twist in the scandal ahead. come on sweetie. >> you got to see this. a baby survives alone in an over turned vehicle for 14 hours. you want to see the new body cam footage that shows her as they pull her from the freezing river in a race to save her life. ♪ ent looked bright. sometimes romantic. there were tears in my eyes. and tears in my eyes. and so many little things that we learned were really the biggest things.

23 minutes past the hour and this morning a new picture is emerging of a night two agents drove under the influence and crashed into an active bomb investigation in the white house. now, some sources are saying a difference story of what happened. cnn white house michelle has the latest twist. >> this story broke as two possibly drunk top agents coming back dpr a party and crashing through a crime scene and slamming into the a barrier. they wanted to be tested and intervening and sending them home. the secret service director kept in the dak for five days and yet now the law enforcement is
3:24 am
casting doubts on what happened that night. they say yes the agents did drive into the area where suspicious package and bomb threat was being investigated after driving under police tape. these sources say that the agent was going literally one mile an hour and knowledging a barrier out of the way to get to the first checkpoint. they rolled down the windows and showed the badges and were waved through to next checkpoint and drove on. sources say that there was no crash, no damage and disrungs to the scene or that they were drun or that they allowed them to go home. they now say that story is in question and they know of no one that tells it and there are source that is the agents did drink while at the party. ron who has written books about
3:25 am
the secret service says that there's a lot here that should not have happened. >> they were obviously driving wrecklessly. if you or i went through some tape and police tape and then nudged some other obstacle and then it turned out that they were drinking, we would have been arrested and begin a so bribety test. it does not mean that you have to crash into the white house to have an improper incident. >> now, member of congress are demanding answer from the secret service director in a briefing next week. >> all right michelle, thank you so much. still to come the intense manhunt out of ferguson, missouri. a lot wondering if racial tensions are there following two police officer shootings. we're taking a closer look for you. so why treat your half mouth any differently? complete the job with listerine®.

coming on the bottom of the hour this morning detectives are working around the clock to track down the shooter or shooters that injured two police officers outside of the ferguson police department. they're no closer to finding those responsible. here is what the police chief had to say about the investigation. >> i cannot tell you at this point that an arrest is going to happen. there's nobody in custody.
3:30 am
when we get to the point that we feel like that we have actively leads if we can do anything through you you to have the community assist us, we will let you know. >> a wide ranging investigation and you have local, state and federal resources that attorney general has promised and this is the latest search and police are offering a $10,000 reward leading to information of the arrest. also the chief seems to be stepping back that the shooting was an ambush and they're unsure in the shooters had any connection to the demonstrations. let's bring in malek and she is the director of the black police association and i want to start with this question that the protesters are asking, and not just people of ferguson, but around the country. can the ferguson police
3:31 am
department survive this and maybe the better question, can they? >> i think that they can survive it. it's going to be difficult to regain the trust of the community. now, it's up to the the citizen of nerge son to demand what kind of police force they want, or if they won't one at all. the absobstacles that lie aheadd to survive any outcome that's positive. right now it does not appear that they have regained any footing. the foundation has been cracked and they do not trust ferguson police department and what is so vital to a police force is there for lacking or missing. >> okay. so beyond ferguson and we saw the details that came out in the doj report and specifically about the government there and
3:32 am
thinking of the bottom line. if they do not survive and the st. louse county police department takes over, how do any law enforcement agency regain the trust there. give us the specifics. >> they must demonstrate a specific community engagement. it's been the foundation of good police in the actions and police chiefs and police departments who actually believe that then they carry those things out in the neighbors and decades or years before incidents such as this would occur. so it starts at the very root of it, and that's an interaction and a positive interaction between police and the people who they serve. we're public servants after all action and you can not take the public servant out. we have go right into the community, policing and engaging. we have to edge gauge the youth and the business community and engage the residential
3:33 am
community. we have to go out and break down the barriers that have existed in law enforcement for many decades. >> i know that you're taending the noble organization of black law enforcement gathering. i wonder if there's some information to back it up. are you hearing or seeing some difficulty in recruiting black law enforcement? >> every police department whether large or small has had difficulty in diverse identifying the police departments. many of the options are self-created. some of the hiring policies have lepded a helping hand and lacking police chiefs that are not focused to allow recruiting to take a back step or it's not the primary focus and now when places like ferguson happened
3:34 am
and you find a 67 percent community with 53 police officers then it comes to the light, so i was listening to director james from the fbi yesterday while here, and he was talking about the difficulties and recruiting with 13,000 agents on it and just over 600 being black and we have pools with the federal government with the law enforcement police departments across the nation that are ready to serve in the fbi and on a whole. they have a -- it's a very difficult job, but it can be done. there's no excuses. you have to beat the streets and get the job done with the efforts of recruiting blacks. >> yeah, that continues to be a challenge with what we're see nothing the news now. good to have your insielth, and i will be with you later at the

focussing on saving him from execution. the question is will the strategy succeed as they're hearing from survivors when two bombs exploded and let's talk to hln analyst and joey jackson. good morning joey. i want to ask you did it surprise you when the attorney said he did this, we're not going to contest it? >> it did not surprise me in the case and the evidence against him are overwhelming. the reality is that he is dplt, and so what the attorneys have to decide for him do i lose credibility and attempt to cross exam people that have lost limbs and people that lost loved ones and other compelling evidence that's clearly there and exist. do i and instead of doing that expect responsibility to this jury and hope and pray that they have mercy on him.
3:57 am
will it work? i am skeptable that it will? >> you will help me and i don't know that he is accepting responsible for this. he is saying and blaming it on his older brother. this is a man at the time was 19 years old. dzhokhar i mean was my brother had me do it really enough? >> that's right. they're finger pointing and remember that it also involves tweets in addition to you remember the scrolling on the boat where he was found and taking about the hate of america and the like. his tweets doing like wise, and the question is going to be did your brother assist you in tweeting your dislike for america? did he assist you in tweeting the inflammatory things that you you had to say about americans,
3:58 am
and as a result of that, will that defense work? i am highly doubtful. we have to remember that the judge has limited in this phase of the trial the defenses ability to talk about the brother because that goes. it's not a defense to say that my brother made me do it. it is to the issue of mitigation. in the death penalty phase the defense is not challenging the evidence. in the death penalty phase we will hear a lot more on how he was influenced by his brother. his brother was the one that led him along. he had a mind of his own, and thought process of his own and acted on his own in addition to his brother. that's joint liability and responsibility and both had a role and the jury will so find. >> speaking of the mitigating factors, this is one of the most chilling things that the jury hearing from all of these

was shot and killed, and then of course they go to the issue of the tweets that showed that he did it and then the aftermath and purchasing milk and going to the gym and it leads to the death penalty. >> okay. joey jackson appreciate your incite. thank you. >> thank you. have a great day. so much news to tell you about this morning. >> let's start the hour of new day right now. the destruction unbelievable and relief workers trying to access the damage as deadly tropical pam pounds vanuatu with rain. city on edge as the manhunt in ferguson continues. they're looking for the person or persons that shot two officers during a protest. why the officers say that they may not be targeted.

4:02 am
anybody else in the path? >> new zealand and i just want to orient you and here is australia. it's a island chain here and these tiny islands that are vulnerable to these cyclones here. some areas can with stand them, but when you talk about a cyclone that's reached intensity and equivalent to a category five, we're talking about significant damage here. some of the description across the islands and the initial look at it has been devastating here. vila took a direct hit and that's a capital city of the island chains here. 155 miles an hour and it's still holding together. the good news is that the islands -- it's beginning to move away and it will continue to weaken as it goes further
4:03 am
south and the dangerous winds have cleared the island, and at this point here we're in better shape than we were had 24 hours ago. look at the maximum sustained winds. 165 mile an hour wind. the gusts were at 200 and this is as they were making the land fall. we're talking of a hurricane back in 1992 and katrina. equivalent to category five and moves off and that's certainly excellent news. now, there's new zealand and there's impact here. by the time that it arrives we're going to be talking about the heavy rain and gusty winds. it's not going to be distruck tif and there's a lot of open water and real-estate here for the system to weaken. it's not going to be bothering anyone any time soon. the damage is done and looks to be kwat strof i can.

4:05 am
have just been destroyed. the local huts that are native and thech just been absolutely blown away. with the winds last night it did sound like an ocean. that's how strong the wind was. it's pretty much drowning out the the rain and the winds. the shutters were just hammering down on the windows. like i said these were some of the most secure solid structures in port vila and during that time i was thinking if you were not in a solid structure last night, it would have been a very very tough time. >> all right. thank you so much for the aide workers working hard and giving us a good sense of what is happening there. we have some new videos of the teens that ran away to join
4:06 am

an intense manhunt is under in ferguson for the gunman that shot two police officers. police are considering increasing the $10,000 reward. it's been more than two days now since the officers were wounded outside the police department. now, investigators say that they have several leads approximate but no major break just yet. they seem to be unsure on two facts of the case. again, it's only been two days but an important two days. the facts they're trying to figure out now is if it was targeted and if the shooter had any connections to the
4:10 am
demonstrations. let's bring in ryan young and he is live in ferguson. those will come out and the focus now is getting the person or person's responsible, ryan. >> reporter: victor, you said it. everybody is focused on finding whoever fired the shots and one hitting one in the shoulder and then to the back and then the other one in the face and behind the ear. all of law enforcement is talking about this. hopefully that $10,000 reward hopes them to catch whoever fired the shots. this is a hill and they bhooef that's where they were fired at. we have seen a deescalation on what is going on. the police chief was backing off the comments that he made early on about the investigation. >> is the st. louis county police chief specifically
4:11 am
pivoting on the element of there being ambush or target? >> reporter: yeah, that's the sound that we were going to share with you. look there was a lot of confusion involved in this. we have seen the video and that's the scary individual wrote and you hear someone screaming and maybe someone that was shot and maybe not shot yelling out in pain. at this point they're not sure, but the active investigation is still ongoing. we saw them use the swat team to go inside a house and detain three people. all of them were released and you have to know that maybe they're building more suspects with the help of the community. >> ryan young reporting in ferguson. thank you so much. now to over seas and we have important video. three run away british teenagers suspected of joining isis. take a look here.
4:12 am
we have the footage recorded last month that shows the girls as they prepare to toss the border into syria. now two of the girls and one of them with a fur lined hood and another. the teenagers are seen and talking to a man that says put your bags and hurry. do not stop. one of the girls appears to be looking at her phone and says he just hung up. we should point out that we can not confirm the video. all of this is happening as turkey's foreign minister says that a spy that helped the girl's cross the border has been arrested. christy? >> let's talk about that with cnn analyst mark who is with us in studio. we're so glad to have you here. >> thank you christy. >> the reaction to the video. >> well, they have been attempts o close the border and they have
4:13 am
had about 10,000 or more captures with the new border security. it's forced and you can not get around the fact that just that 400 mile border between iraq, syria and turkey. a lot are passing are not isis driven, but drin by money. they're just trying to get people across. they pay money for it, and that's how it happens. >> knowing the threat, why are they not able to better secure it? >> because it's so long. it's the same question with why can't we secure the southern borders and this entire area is almost completely desert, so people people do not go to a certain point a crossing point that you check the passports and do the formal things. they go across the desserts on the mules with the mules to bring them across. >> so let's talk about the man that was arrested and suspected of helping them cross into
4:14 am
syria. would somebody like that be apped to talk and influenced to talk? what kind of information might they be able to get there him? >> it depends. if he is a true criminal, he might talk and say that they paid me money and i can lead you to these people. if he is part of the organization, it maybe difficult to get information out of them. >> they consider to be part of the organization. >> yeah. >> sure. let's turn the page here and look at iraq. i know that iraq forces have been going to victories in tikrit. isis has been pounding the troops there. cesarean is it so challenging? >> well, you have tribed in western iraq. in the north you have them going
4:15 am
through the provens and then you have some security forces. they're doing a good job of countering isis in the west, but it's an oil spot. every place that they go isis will go some place else. in fact isis is attempts to draw a way from tikrit by pulling forces and iraq security into providence. the key to all of this is regaining. >> okay. so let's start with tikrit. if they can regain it, how do they maintain that? >> that's the hard part. that's the difficult part and they said during the testimony that the fight is important. what happens afterthat, and we
4:16 am
have talked about that before? the turning back over to the local tribal forces and turning back over to the police and iraq security forces and getting the good government is place is important. what you will see next and i will give you a warning as we get into this and tikrit is going to be secured, but the next town that they're going to go after is not on the map and it's a small town around there. it's become the southern most isis headquarters out of mosul. the kurds are come asking the security forces are going south to north, so they're pushing it further away from baghdad and all of that is territory that the iraq's must regain. >> okay. mark is going to be with us all morning. thank you some. we appreciate it. >> okay. thank you. the secret service under
4:17 am
fire for covering up a drunk driving scandal, and now sources are saying what we heard intentionally may not be the full or accurate story. we will have more on that. police under fire and officer involved shooting seems to be on the rise. we're just noticing them because of the events. some are asking is that the case here? meet the world's newest energy

superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. sometimes romantic. there were tears in my eyes. and tears in my eyes. and so many little things that we learned were really the biggest things. through it all, we saved and had a retirement plan. and someone who listened and helped us along the way. because we always knew that someday
4:19 am
4:20 am
4:21 am
completely true. cnn's aaron pike live at the white house for us. so not completely true. erin, what are you hearing this morning? >> reporter: well, it may not be the scandal as we're getting more details. it seems that some of the details may be true. there was not a crash or collision. they may not have been asked for a test in the first place. let me tell you what we do know. they drove to the edge of the area where there was a bomb threat. at the first car point they nudged a barrel and no damage or nothing of that sort. then that car went through two checkpoints and then the agents went home. something did happen and the director of the secret service agency did not know until five days later. that's where the trouble is.
4:22 am
he will be on the hill on monday and tuesday for some try vpriva briefings and give testimony and be questioned. we did talk to jason and he is a republican congress and shares the over site micommittee and spoke to cnn. here are the concerns. >> i have deep concerns on when he he became engaged and there was a problem. i understand that there was an indent bit the idea that two of the officers were still -- had some agents that he was suspected of perhaps drinking at the white house, that's got to be done swiftly. >> now, on to have top of that the homeland security will launch an investigation of their own. >> thanks for the update.
4:23 am
joshua katz is joining us and i want to take the-element that the the director of the secret service shows that they did not know about it for days. that suggests that there's a break down in the hierarchy there. they were supposed to be overall. how far into that are we, and should it continue? >> yeah the integrity of the entire department is at question. the great men and woman that serve everyday day inside the secret service their organization is under sscrutiny and it should be. it's not gone where it should and so hopefully congressman and the others on the hill will push the reform now. we need more a action and a lot less talk. >> so you know the organizations
4:24 am
and having been cia operations officers. this over all was inacted a couple of months ago and has director had enough time to inact some of these changes or is he going to be possibly unfairly targeted when he is on the hill early next week? >> well, i think with the leadership the new director new what he was getting into and was a career service man, so coming in and under standing the culture that he needed to to deal with and reform, he already had that. that learning curve was shuort. there's a delay in how we're communicating on the hill. when you're over site committees are finding out if newspaper, that's not good either. so the new director really needs to handle this swiftly. i know that he is passed it up
4:25 am
to dhs and they're going to do a review here, but things need to happen, and they need to happen quickly. >> okay. so count them off we have the columbia prostitution scandal, late night partying and the fence jumpers and now this. have the scandals like this always been going on in the secret service, or is this something new? >> you you know i have work window the secret service in the field, and they're -- they're honorable people. there's a culture within the secret service that they're above the law and can do whatever it is that they want. these scandals are the ones that have been made public. there are other issues and until we're ready to reform the organization, i think that the american people are going to question the ability of the organization to do what it's
4:26 am
supposed do and protect the president of the united states. >> yeah, soon moving in and the next president of the united states. joshua katz thank you so much. >> thank you. the search for suspects is ongoing this morning in ferguson. we have the new details on how they're handling things there. also why are so many police officers around the country getting shoot in the line of duty? did you know that there's a 50 percent spike? we're going to take a look at what is behind that in a moment.

4:30 am
detectives are working around the clock to find the shooter that injured two police officers outside of the ferguson police department. now, while they have leads it seems that they're no closer to finding those responsible. here is the latest on the search. >> yeah, st. louis county police chief seems to be stepping back a bit from an earlier statement
4:31 am
that it was an ambush. they're not sure if there were any connections to the demonstrations and they're offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. that could grow as the public donations are pouring in. >> the problem of getting officers and protecting officers and getting shot and killed is spreading beyond ferguson. here we have a number for you and the number shot to death in the line of duty jumped 50 percent in the u.s. last year. it's going from 32 in 2013 to 2015. we have more. >> a shaking video and shouts and screens. two officers gun downed and calming it an ambush. >> you can't see it coming and defenseless that it's happening to you at the time. >> the shootings in ferguson are
4:32 am
facing deadly threats after findings of racial bias. >> these are the people that protect us and keep us safe. they have the right to come home at night. >> but this attack is not an isolated incident. just wednesday night a cop shot twice on long island new york after pulling a car over for a traffic violation. in december officers shot and killed as they sat in the patrol car. the attack sought to be in ri retaliati retaliation. the numbers of officers shot to death rose 15 percent. 15 of them killed in ambush style shootings, but the number of police shootings is on the
4:33 am
rise. while they're incomplete they say that 1,134 people were killed by cops last year. up 12 percent from 2013. >> reporter: in resent weeks there's a stream of incident that shows what the cops are up against and the dangers that they face on the job. right here on the brooklyn night club that was an armed stand off this weekend. >> when it was all over this man moaning in pain, but it turns out he was just shot by the police when he pulled a gun on them. another violent incident that feeds tension between police and communities. >> when it becomes an eye for an eye, people are addressing the problems with violence. the numbers are always going to go up on both sides. >> a frustrating and deadly cycle of violence. cnn new york. >> so let's talk about this and
4:34 am
he is a private investigator and so glad to have you and your voice in this. what do you make of the resent report of the 50 percent rise in officer shootings? >> well, it's not surprising. when you have the court going on with the citizen and police departments and lake with the rodney king situation. there was a huge spike in assaults on police officers around the country. you can see and find the information in the fbi ucr report that they put out. that data is available and people going on the website to see those trends over the years, and then you can see that they are related to the epp councoun with the police and citizen. >> how do you restore a calm or at least some sort of community in places where it's happening. it's just not ferguson, but
4:35 am
across the country. >> they needs to take it upon themselves to talk about the town hall meetings and engage the public in these type of forms and to review their own policies and procedures in reference to community involvement. if there's a community desk linking to community with the department and the progressive department would see that and consult with the other agencies and try to establish that within the communities. if they're in fact to certaining to communities. >> people want to be heard. people want to be heard. i want to talk about the other state of incident where cops and to keep everything in perspective, cops were shooting and killing unarmed suspects as of late. i want to give a couple of
4:36 am
examples here. this is really questions on how they applied the use of deadly force. we had an officer that shot and unkilled an unarmed teen and here in atlanta this past weekend they shot and killed a naked man that was unarmed. is there any way -- is there any other way that people look at this and say i don't do you go for the gun fist? if you do not see anybody that's armed -- the man that had no clothes on you could tell he was not armed, why not use a tazer. >> the easiest way to access these is look at the officers actions and then you take his actions against the backdrop of his training. what was the training? now myself as a criminal defense investigation i get called in
4:37 am
and then i do the personnel file and then the training records and then we do the trainers and then we establish how they were trained. >> you're saying that it comes down to training. >> it comes down to what was the training. everybody sends them to shoot and don't shoot training where they have a scenario and they go through a number of high stress situations and they have seconds to determine whether they should discharge the firearm or not. >> based on what i told you might there need to be modifications to that? >> not that training. what has to be modified is in service training. how often are the officers -- how often do they go through training and this is how you correct that. >> okay.
4:38 am
all right. rashid nice to have you here. >> thank you. a frat is now firing back for the disbanded sae chapter and the university of oklahoma. they were the ones that had the racist individual yes that was released. well the alumni hired an attorney and they say that they're not ruling out suing the school. we will look at the arguments. and in this corner we have floyd mayweather. in the other corner eight division pacquiao. the fight of the country and $300 million on the line. we will talk about it with floyd mayweather. ♪ [ hoof beats ]

yeah, by now you have seen the video that set off this strong response for the members of sae at the university of oklahoma. two students seen leading the chant have been expel and the house there closed. but now the alumni of the chapter have hired a lawyer and are not ruling out suing the the school. the groups attorney believes that sae members first amendment rights were violated. david born responded to the claims with cnn's anderson cooper. >> i am a believer of free speech even when you abuse it. in this case you're creating a
4:43 am
very hostile education that's right on all fours with the civil rights act and i think that we have struck the appropriate balance here. >> here is what you need to know of title six. take a look at the screen and it prohibits on the base of race, color and organization and programs and receiving federal assistance. now, cnn defense attorney joey jackson. so the question is did the school over stepped the bounds, and was this protected speech? >> good morning victor. depends on whose side that you're on. now the attorney said that he is not suing yet but has not ruled out the possibility. in the event that they move forbard they would rely on it and say listen we have a lot of disforce in the society and even discourse and conversation that's limited like the hate speech is protected by the constitution, and how dare you
4:44 am
no matter how disspeckable, how dare you throw the students off campus. now, flip it around. here is the president's side and you just showed title 6. what does that say? prohibit discrimination under the law as it relates to any activities that federal funding applies to, and so in is one of those things that it applies to. not act would be to accept the conduct. if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. we had to do it. not only that but the school has a code and that says if there's any abuse that causes intimidation or humiliation, then you must go and the sue cream court says in terms of educational activities and if it's impaired and school sir rices are disrupted as they could be by people that are so upset, you have to act and so those are the competing sides of
4:45 am
the argument. >> so in conversation about the sit shuti shutting down of the sae house. for the people that are members of the organization that were not on the bus and did not participate in the chant, do they have some credible legal case against borin? >> it's a fabulous question to exam and the question will lie that the organization is accused of creating the kie late and organization and to the extent that you're involved in the attorney and certainly everyone is independent and judged on the merits, but at the same time the fraternity itself has set off a lightening rod and that chant, chants have to be learned and rehearse and that was a chant
4:46 am
that was not done for the first time in the bus. that organization and you being apart of it expresses the value and the whole organization has to go. simply individuals that do not prescribe to that and say that i am not a big got. i was not there and that's something that the courts if it gets that far, will have to determine. >> yeah, they have within on campus and now looking to determine if it's nationwide or other chapters ch joey jackson, thank you so much. >> always a pleasure. have a great day. so boxing champion floyd mayweather could win $300 million against the fight against pakio. he say that is he is doing it for the legacy. what do you think? he is talking to us next. most of the products we all buy are transported on container ships. before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck.

5:01 am
i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christi paul. let's talk about this tropical paradise. it's a disaster zone. >> one of the most powerful storms killed at least six people. this is the island vags of vanuatu and it's feared the death toll could go higher. tropical cyclone pam barreled ashore with winds gusting to 200 miles per hour. that's as strong as a category 5 hurricane. >> it's feared entire villages are wiped out. look at what you're seeing here. trees are down, roads blocked. and that of course is making it difficult if not impossible in some areas to get to some of those hard hit regions right now. one emergency official says it looks like a bomb hit the capital. that's how bad the devastation is. chloe, we're glad you're okay. we know that communication has really been a little difficult
5:02 am
today because of the situation but what can you tell me about what it's like there right now? >> okay. so, right now it's actually dark, it's nighttime in port vila so almost 24 hours, it's a real terrifying moments which happened about with midnight on friday night here. during the day when it was safe for me to go outside and assist the damage, there were trees down and not just a couple of trees across the road. some of them were piled high. then you could see over the top of those piles of trees. as you said whole villages have been blown away in the night. so this is often a tropical paradise island and a lot of these houses are what you would expect on an island. they a they are thatch roofs and not able to withstand a category five. villages blown away. then we have power lines down,
5:03 am
roads are flooded. it really is devastating. >> you mentioned how some in the outlying areas, too, some of these homes just are built in a way that they can't withstand anything like that. was there a shelter that people could go to and did they heed those warnings? >> yes. the thing about tropical cyclone pam, people have been waiting for her for over a week. there have been strong warnings and people were able to evacuate to shelters where they were available. so in port industriala where i'm based, the capital village, those shelters were like churches and schools that were more concrete structure and more sturdy. but out on the islands, in the most remote communities, you know, there aren't a lot of strong structures. there are about 83 islands and
5:04 am
on friday night cyclone pam tore from the north to the south. she left no island untouched. and the devastation that willble on the smaller remote islands i can't imagine particularly with what i've seen around port vila and when i consider that the structures we have in the capital city here are so much stronger than what would have been out on those islands. >> sure. so, help us understand the status of food and water and emergency supplies. what is your most urgent need right now? >> we know that in times of emergencies and humanitarian disasters, world vision knows that the biggest priority that people need is clean water, this morning most areas of port vila didn't have running water. some have it now. out on the outlying communities, many communities before cyclone
5:05 am
pam struggled to access clean water. then there is the streets. out on the islands a lot of people, they grow food, they ate the food and they might sell extra produce if they have some left over. cyclone pam would have destroyed all of the crops. there are some root crops like tarrow similar to a potato which may be okay. after a week or so they will start to grow. so it's short of food. and then i spoke about how villages have been literally blown away. and the housing that was not able to withstand a category 5. so shelter, it's an immediate priority as well. this is a mammoth catastrophe here and it's a national disaster. so, our immediate priorities that need to be met this is part
5:06 am
of a much longer term response to this disaster. >> we're so sorry for those communities. grateful you are okay. chloe, thank you so much for really helping us understand what the needs are there. >> thank you. >> we should point out that bill wear, host of cnn's wonder list got a first-hand look at vanuatu before this cyclone hit. it he is going to join us at tep clock a.m. eastern to give us his take because he has a unique voice on this now. after taking a direct aim at the capital there, tropical cyclone pam is weakening, at least a little bit as it moves away from the island chain. we have ivan with us now. ivan cabrera, what does it look like it's going to continue to do? is it going to weaken and sputter out? >> we've run out of islands, this thing is very strong.
5:07 am
this is the united states and hawaii. we have to move down to the south. here is australia, this is where we're talking about. vila is the capital island, the capital city on an island vanuatu a chain that consists of flum russ islands. what is happening i believe right now we have media crews and relief agencies that of course hunker down in concrete safer buildings. the villages that are more vulnerable there is no one there yet, the help is yet to come. the cameras are yet to come so we're still in a lull before we are able to see the scope of the devastation i think we're going to be looking at. this is 155-mile-an-hour wind, that is current. so if this thing was still over the islands it would be an incredible scene but it's not. it's now pushing to the stout and east, it's safely moving away from vanuatu. we are done as far as the worst of the storm. maximum winds, 165 miles an hour.
5:08 am
second only to hyan that hit the philippines last year and a couple years ago actually, and this is now the second strongest storm to ever make landfall ever anywhere on the planet as we have been keeping records. a big deal and it's hit an area so vulnerable. where is it going >> to new zealand. by the time it gets there there will be upper level winds that will tear the storm apart, it will be moving through cooler ocean temperatures, tropical cyclones, hurricanes, they don't like that so that's good. it will weaken. about 24-48 hours. by the time it gets to new zealand a much weaker storm. that's going to be excellent news for them. >> all righty. good to hear that. thank you, ivan. we appreciate it so much. so, detectives are working around the clock now, that is the word at least from st. louis county's police chief. as this manhunt intensifies for the person who opened fire and injured two officers we're taking you live to ferguson. plus, russian president vladamir

5:12 am
with walk-in medical care, no appointments needed and most insurance accepted. minuteclinic. another innovation from cvs health. because health is everything. we've got the wrong video up. come back to me on camera. we're going to talk about these three run away british teenagers suspected of joining isis. we have video of that as well. here it is. this footage, purportedly recorded last month shows the girls as they prepare to pass the turkish border. here it is. this is going to syria. two are wearing hoods. the teens seen talking to a man who says put your bags, hurry,
5:13 am
don't stop. one of the girls appears to look down her phone, and she says he just hung up. now investigators are looking through that to try to glean some information about this passage from one country to the other. we should point out that cnn has not been able to confirm the video's authenticity. all of this is happening as turkey's foreign minister says a spy, that's the word used, spy, who helped the girls cross the border has been arrested. let's dig deeper with lieutenant general mark hertling in studio with us, and former cia operations officer joshua katz. thanks to both of you. josh, i want to start with you. just your reaction to this new video and how much this could offer, maybe a treasure-trove for investigators. >> well, this is a problem we have been tracking for well over a year and a half now. the problem continues to grow. the number of western youths who
5:14 am
are traveling to turkey or other places in the middle east in order to join isis or participate in some way. it's not slowing down. it's growing. this may offer a little insight but when this gentleman who was arrested was in fact the facilitator, another one will take his place. that's the unfortunate reality here. >> general hertling, the question is why is it so easy to pass from turkey into syria? where are the most poor areas. >> this area here is almost exclusively desert. you have more mountain ranges. in order to cross into one country from another you have to have competent border patrols on both sides. turkey is improving their border patrols. they captured about 10,000 prisoners in the last 10 months that don't have the right data to go across the border. the problem is on the other side of the border there is nothing.
5:15 am
and in fact, you have some tribal members, the tribes that literally flow back and forth between the borders are assisting, they call them mules, assisting these isis recruits, jihadists in their flow across the border. >> there are questions, serious questions, about turkey's commitment to guarding this border and maybe shutting it down. you pointed out in the last segment it would be difficult just as difficult as it is to control the u.s. border with mexico. the border between these countries. i want to read for you something that the director of national intelligence said he told congress that turkey seems to have quote other priorities and other interests. why would that be with this huge threat right next door? >> you have a political interest certainly because a great many turkish citizens are muslim. so some of them are supporttive of what's going on in syria and iraq. but truthfully, it's very difficult just to secure a
5:16 am
border. that's the problem. there have been great improvements according to this, but as you see it's several hundred miles along the syrian border and several more hundred miles along the iraqi border. this was an area even when i was in iraq in 2008 we were having problems with the iraqi border patrol. now you've got a mixture of three countries trying to control the flow. >> let's bring that iraq map back up. i want to talk about tikrit and ramadi. successes in tikrit with the iraqi forces, but some challenges in ramadi. is this going to be with the movement of isis for lack of a better analogy one most can understand, a whack across the country. >> i don't think so. this is an operational requirement by isis to try and draw forces away from tikrit, to draw forces away, we added a couple more cities and to draw them away from mosul. so in the northern part of the country there have been great success this week. there has been a regaining of about 25% of the territory by
5:17 am
the iraqi security force. so isis is attempting to draw those forces off of those targets back into anbar province where there is no iraqi security forces, no shia militia so they want to pull away to maintain the territory. and that's just the way operations go in warfare. the dodge and weave effect of the enemy. >> several months ago, well, several weeks ago maybe a month when the announcement of the upcoming effort to retake mosul was announced there was a lot of skepticism if iraqi forces could do it on their own. the success in tikrit, has that degraded some of that cynicism or is there still a lot of skepticism that they can do it? >> they certainly can do it and they must do it. the timing of it is going to be critical. but there's a lot of fighting to go on between tikrit and mosul. again we put up the cities, peshmerga are pushing from the west to the east to make sure they maintain security in
5:18 am
kirkuk. now this small town a hub of isis in the central part of the northern provinces. what is happening now there is continuing attempts to get logistic bases between baghdad and mosul. you can't just do a straight flight from baghdad to mosul. you have to have ground territory that you control in order to get resupplies and troop movements from the capital up to the city. >> they have to be built and held. >> exactly right. that's tough. >> general hertling and joshua katz, thank you both. >> russian president vladamir putin finally resurfaces after he seemed to disappear for nearly a week. why some people think his health may be in jeopardy. bring us your baffling. bring us your audacious. we want your sticky notes, sketchbooks, and scribbles. let's pin 'em to the wall. kick 'em around. kick 'em around, see what happens. because we're in the how-do-i-get-this-startup- off-the-ground business. the taking-your-business- global-business. we're in the problem-solving business. 400,000 people -

community are watching closely to see whether the tentative peace established after this week's shooting will continue through the weekend. i want to show you the scene last night outside the police department. a stark contrast here to the violent mayhem that happened on wednesday. >> and this morning police are intensifying the manhunt for the gunman who shot two police officers. right now they are considering increasing the current $10,000 reward because more money in front of the community, people around the country it's pouring in. it's more than two days since the two officers were wounded and a protest outside the ferguson police department. investigators say they have several leads but no major break yet. let's talk about russia. after a week of canceled engagements and disappearance from the public eye vladamir putin has apparently resurfaced.
5:23 am
the kremlin released these showing him friday. rumors have been swirling what may have happened to him. the kremlin denies that the president is ill but that is not convincing everyone. cnn's senior correspondent matthew chance is there. >> reporter: it's the first tv appearance of vladamir putin since he dropped out of sight more than a week ago. triggering rumors about his fate. the russian president is shown mainly in profile, meeting the head of the supreme court. he perhaps seems peaked as he delivers a verdict on legal reforms. the behavior of the kremlin has fueled the rumor mill. key presidential meetings have been canceled over recent days, this event was broadcast on international woman's day on march 8, allaying some concerns. but it turned out it was recorded earlier, further aroudsing suspicion.
5:24 am
social media is swirling with speculation of a serious illness that putin has cans every or suffered a stroke. that has been denied by the kremlin. president putin is working from his country house and says he is in perfect health. but these are uneasy times in moscow. the economy is in free fall, the war in ukraine has strained international relations, and the murder of the opposition leader here last month has plunged the russian elite into turmoil. an absent president in these conditions is sparking dark conspiracy theories. one former putin adviser posted a blog suggesting that the president has been overthrown in a coo. there is no evidence of that but with the leader out of the public gaze even for a few days rumors have been quick to take hold. psychopathic thugs, that's how the cia chief describes isis

now, that's progressive. almost the bottom of the hour. welcome back to "new day." iraqi forces are closing in on 150 isis militants in the city of tikrit. for days now, the troops have been hammering this terror group in saddam hussein's hometown. earlier this week iraqi forces took control of a military hospital a few blocks from the presidential palace. the iraqi military controls about three quarters of the city. the pentagon says that isis has lost 25% of the territory it once controlled in iraq. all that territory there was snatching up last spring and summer. this is happening although forces appear to be winning back territory in tikrit, much different scene 100 miles south in the city of ramadi. isis has launched a major offensive there killing more
5:30 am
than 40 iraqi soldiers after blowing up the headquarters. >> one u.s. army veteran says he wants to take the fight directly to isis. sean rowe is trying to recruit his own army to join him to travel and fight the militants sean rowe is joining us here. with us is military analyst retired general mark hertling of course. thank you for being here. sean, i want to start with you. as i understand it you say you are fed up, it doesn't look like anything is being done and that's why you want to go. do you see this as, i was reading in "the new york times" a story about another veteran, 29-year-old patrick maxwell an iraq war vet in texas and said he saw what he is seeing on the news as a second chance to go and make things right. is that your motivation as well? >> i would say there were three motivations for me founding this organization. the firstinging the outrage of
5:31 am
the astrosties committed by isis. the second being slow and very weak response by our current administration in response to these atrocities going on. and then the third was reading about these various veterans going over to help. but i want to clarify one point real quick. we're not recruiting an army to go fight isis. we are networking and raising funds to deploy in a defensively in support of locals in iraq and syria against isis. >> sean, thank you nor the clairificatio clarification. i wanted to ask you, general hertling, you go to fight in a war, there are some protections afforded you by the u.s. if you voluntarily go over there as they are talking about doing, these veterans who have already served so bravely for us, are there any protections afforded to them? >> there are not. that's the interesting piece of this. again, i mean most veterans realize that they at one time took an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the
5:32 am
united states and the president. the president has a detailed plan, it may not be apparent to a lot of people but there are actual seven lines of effort. we hope that the iraqi forces take this fight to the enemy. but yeah, there is no guarantee when an american citizen or any other citizen enters that country protective right against them and again, we've seen in the past what happens when some of these people might be captured and they do want the protection of the united states and then it's a little too late. >> sean, that was one of the things i thought of. so noble to want to go, and we understand because i think a lot of people sit back and think gosh, why is the world not doing more to stop this. but at the same time nobody wants to see any of you go over and get captured or get hurt. what are the conversations you're having with fellow veterans about that? >> of course what we're trying to do is very dangerous and there are obvious serious risks. but i've had several hundred
5:33 am
veterans and civilians from all over this country, and several others, wanting to go help. and i'm currently talking to several dozen who are 100% committed and willing, able and willing to volunteer, not only their time and services but their own funds to go over and help out. i mean, everyone knows this is a risk and this is -- everyone i talk to this is a risk we're voluntarily willing to take. >> sure. so would you be leading somewhat of a makeshift militia group? would that be the plan? and who are you communicating with over there to help place you? >> there are several locals there who are reaching out to others for help. so we are making contact with locals over there. but yeah, we're just -- i'm not trying to so much lead veterans as unite veterans who want to help. >> sure. and this new york times story as i mentioned before, about
5:34 am
patrick maxwell, it talked about how he connected with a kurdish military officer on line and flew to iraq. general hertling, how can you trust an online communication? >> you can't, first of all. secondly, i would contend that this entire activity is il ill-advised. it's not a good idea. the territory of iraq needs to be defended by iraqis. i think that's part of the strategy of the administration. >> what do you say to people like sean who feel like i have been there, i have fought for this and i'm watching it disintegrate and i can't sit back. >> and i understand sean's feelings on this. any one who served there, and i've spent three years of my life in that country, you have a deep connection with the iraqi people. the ones that we helped secure themselves a few years ago and you want to help. but to do it individually or in small groups it's not a good idea. and again, the kurdish militia or the peshmerga are doing a
5:35 am
very good job. some of the iraqis. but it's turning into a command and control nightmare with all of these troops over there. i think there's the opportunity to get more people hurt and it doesn't contribute to the overall effort. >> we always appreciate your thoughts on this. sean, whatever happens we certainly wish you the very best. hope you'll stay in touch and let us know. thank you so much for your efforts and everything you're doing and taking the time to talk to us today. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you, general. a baby is stuck upside-down in a car seat for 14 hours after her mother's car flipped into a freezing river. look at this. >> come on, sweetie. come on, sweetie. >> take a moment and sit down and watch this new body cam footage. it shows officers pulling baby lily out of this vehicle and racing to save her life. ent looked bright.

the baby's mother lynn jennifer was dead. some call it a miracle that her baby lily survived alone upside down in the car for 14 hours after that crash. sam has this heart stopping body cam footage from the dramatic rescue. >> go ahead. >> one of the first officers responding to the call of a car in the river, this officer runs down into the water without hesitation, joining other first responders, a fisherman called to report the car was in the river, calling back 90 seconds later when he could see someone was trapped inside. >> what have you got? >> three police officers, two firefighters and the fisherman jump into action trying to flip the car over. >> come on. come on.
