3:00 am
happening over night an airport in chaos. a man armed with a machati attacks a man. the death toll mounts where people were worshipping at the time. could millionaire robert dusk be with other crimes?
3:01 am
they're asking them to dust off the cold case files. as always, good to be with you. we have to start this morning with a terrifying scene and crowds of frightening travelers there sent as a man with a machete was shot by police. this is when richard white stormed through a security check point and dousing tsa apths with wasp stray and then tlenting them. >> this was a dramatic scene. one fought back and another opened fire and shot him in the leg, face and chest. and you see him here was taking to a hospital and underwent surgery. we do not know the condition, but we will update you as we learn more. >> we do want you to listen to the sheriff the jefferson parish
3:02 am
sheriff. he is going to describe what happened. >> he walked down the tsa like and encountered the tsa officer and challenged at that point in time by the tsa officer. the response was that he pulled a can of wasp spray and sprayed the officer in the face. he proceeded past that checkpoint and encountered the second tsa officer and then the third tsa almost at the same time. one was a female and one a male. he strayed the female in the face. the male grabd a piece of lug gag to defend himself against the machete. they got to the end of the line
3:03 am
and they both made the turn around the benches and heading out of the exit. when going through the magnets the tsa alerted to the law enforcement officer that's manned at the exit. the law enforce presidement offe down the line to get close and fired three times and hitting the preerpetrator in the left chest and left eye. >> let's dig deeper and the former director asis tent and tom let's just start because this is not the first attack against a tsa officer at an airport. what is your reaction on what happened in new orleans? >> good morning victor the. sounds like you have a mentally disturbed person and describes
3:04 am
to attack, and that was the first time that he would have encountered a checkpoint in the airport. that's what they're there for. the unfortunate thing is that that's the first line of defense or last line of defense for people like him to get into security and into the airport. >> let's explore that. do you think that there should have been an extra layer? if he decided that he want withed to use the machete during checkpoint, there would have been nothing? >> the problem is that it's been discussed in the past why don't they put them at the front door, then that's the first checkpoint, and that's the point that he would pull a machete. i have commented before that you can not have people lined up on the sidewalk with all their lug gag checked in in the airport
3:05 am
and especially when we have wind chills below zero. you can not have people lined up with the infants or elderly. you're going have to let people indoors and decide where you're going to set the checkpoint up. tsa guards and manning the checkpoints are not armed, so there are police officers that are supposed to be close by, and that's what you have in this case. you have a police officer who when alerted to the whole problem of this person attacking the the officers, that officer came and opened fire on the individual. >> yeah, you make a good point. wherefore you approximate put that check someone that has the motive will do everything that they plan right before that. tom, stay with us because we want you to weigh in on this story as well. second unsettling story at an airport. appears that the security administration has explain to do. >> yeah, the tsa athlete a
3:06 am
convicted murder and a terror group through the pre-check program. now the aviation department has some of the details for us here. they created a significant aviation security breach. a whistle plower blew. it's reserved for low lising passenger and laptops can stay in the bag and they not have to remove certain gels and liquids from their lug gauge. well, there are two ways go get the pre-check status. randomly picked or applied. in this case, he was randomly
3:07 am
picked. like pre-che now the travellers name was checked against the terror database. it was not on a watch skplis if the passenger was a threat, the name would have been in the officer. the officer knew about the felons background. we want to a supervisor and that he was given prestatus and the supervisor okay clearing the traveler. one change that's come out of this is that officers at the checkpoint now have more discretion to send someone to standard screening. >> thank you. tom we want you in this as well. they call this a aviation breach. what do you call it? >> it's a breach, and maybe we're over blowing this because when you go through tsa
3:08 am
pre-check, you're still being checked. i just we want through pre-check a week ago. i am on the regular pre-check background list and somebody saw something suspicious in my bag and made me open it and go through that and it was completely justified to open the bag and have them look at it. it's not that everybody flies through the now yes you not have to take off the shoes and we have not had an attempt in 13 years and some of the liquids and other things. i can understand where there's concern, but you go you through the check. if everybody in the uncle can go on the list, it's not convenient anymore to have people like that in the line. i am curious how they would recognize that person and have that background when you have hundreds and hundreds of people passing by every hour.
3:09 am
at that point where he has been identified, they do not have to send them to standard checking. they can do the standard procedure right there at that point. >> the officers there on duty will have more discretion after this. it was interest in the fact that he was randomly picked. do you think that there needs to be modification in the way that's done? >> yeah, i disagree. the idea is that you're prequel identified that you travel so auch and that you have so many miles and you're a trusted traveller and how you trust someone when you randomly pick them is ridiculous. if this person did not recognize him, he would not have any additional testing. in this case with this person, once he would have been identified they can sbish appreciate all of the regular checks and make him take the shoes off or whatever you want.
3:10 am
>> okay tom, thank you. >> thank you. breaking over night a tragic story out of brooklyn new york. a house fire has killed seven children and the youngest just five years old. it appears that the victims were all related. so one family here losing seven children. it's not clear what started the fire, and of course there's an ainvestigation under way right now. critical situation in yemen. isis declares this latest terror strick is the tip of the iceburg. if it's true, are the attacks around the world? secretary of the state says that there's process regarding the attacks in iran. we will bring that to you live when he steps up. despite this being the start of

3:15 am
the bomb. suicide bombers hid explosives under casts and a message says that they're the tip of the iceburg and more will follow. you now we have to add that cnn cannot verify the claims. now, nick peyton walsh. what have you learned about these attacks? >> well today there are the very painful task of burying the dead in the capital, and the government announced that they will transfer hundreds of their injured and transferring those and trying to assist. as you mention the first suicide bombers that went in to the mosque attacks and then as we know the secondary device
3:16 am
detonated outside. those who rushed to help caught by those explosions. you mentioned that isis had a responsibility. there's a key element that added some degree to that. the other main suspect for an attack like this and ork stated suicide bombing would be the peninsula. they issued a statement and saying that it was not them. now they said that they would not target crowds or gathering and you can debate if that's true or not. does potentially lend some credibility the the isis claim. i should point out many of the observers and dozens and they have been making the statements and perhaps trying to get the feet on the ground if they're behind and it's a deeply troubling chapter and they're
3:17 am
already fractures and horrified and many worried that this is towards the further secretary and violence and so many if not all of the victims were from the shem. >> all right nick peyton walsh for us giving us the latest on the bombing. we're watching to hear from secretary of the state john kerry this morning. he is expected to speak in about 30 minutes. we will bring you that live. the latest round of talks have wrapped up. they wrapped up yesterday. they will resume on wednesday. the deadline for a frame work agreement is march 31st but he will speak in 30 minutes to give an update on that. >> we will give that to you.

temperatures are plum meting. this is not impressive but it is when you talk about april. that's enough for a record through friday and on the first day of spring. new york and lga -- all of them got into that as well. take a look at the radar and just depressing stuff. as you look the forecast radar and maybe an inch in boston and the north and west and then we're going to be done with this. the problem that i actually see more is what you're going to be feeling over the next few days. the temperatures are going to be unbelievably cold for april here. yes, we're going go for another arctic blast. we're not talking 20s or 30s. this morning it's going to feel like the 20s. that's bombing compared to what is coming. the forecast highs for today is in the 40s. that's not too bad. take a look at the sunday morning wind chills.

3:29 am
coming up on bottom of the hour and police at the new orleans international airport shot a man that was holding a machete last night. he was not in the face, chest and thigh after spraying people and then started to come at them with the machete that he kept in
3:30 am
the waste band until that point. police are unsure why he was doing this. one tsa agent was shot in the scuffle. the terror group isis is claiming attacks on yemen. it left 137 people dead. reporting that suicide bombers pretended to be disabled and hid explosive after casts. that's the latest sign that it's plunging into a civil war. people marched to terrorism on the independence day. it's two days after extremist killed 23 people in a museum. the officials say that they had weapon and training in libya. about half of the people killed in the attacks were tourists. we have a lot of information that we want to share with you ton terror attack. two of the suspects received weapon training in libya and in a new audio message isis is
3:31 am
claiming responsibility for this attack. we need to point out that we can not confirm the awe then testy of that, but it's troubling. we want to go out and is this atta attack isis's would we call it a debut? >> reporter: well, it's first of the kind to hit where we have seen in the past. this country has been fighting the extremest groups and had the problem for years. this is the nightmare and they have been concerned with this. you talked about 3,000 tunis fighting with the groups. there has been concern with that. the biggest concern is the spill over on what is going on in libya. many have been going across to libya and training like we're hear frg officiing from officia
3:32 am
attackers. theres trains camps the past few years and they have reported on what is going on in libya and the groups really exploiting the chaos in that country the political and stability and the security vacuum there to set up camp. we have seen the emergents that have pledged to isis. there's a lot of concern from the neighboring countries and also egypt. if you can recall we have seen high profile attacks taking place inside and targeting. we have seen the foreigners at a five star hotel claimed by isis and then the video of the beheading of the egyptian christians last month. so a lot in the growing presence you including isis in the region
3:33 am
and europe too. that's not far away in the country. >> yeah, a lot of people talk about how recruitment and trying to fracture the recruiting of isis is going to be key here. we know that they recruit via the internet in skpus europe. are borders so poorest that they're recruitment is different in that area? >> it's very easy let's put it this way christie for them to travel to militants. this is a country that's a failed state right now. there's no real control. you you have two rival governments and different fractions that are fighting each other, and in the mist of all of this chaos, it's easy not just -- to travel to libya and train. this has been happening there
3:34 am
since 2012 where the militants have gone to libya to the training camps there and some affiliated with al qaeda and then traveling to syria where they have been fighting. that country really not just for recruitment, but it's become a very -- it's a perfect place for the jihad to set up a group and breeding and training grounds for the groups. now the big issue is how to encounter that and what can you done to tackle the issue in lib yachlt again a big threat to the region. >> thanks for the update. we appreciate it. a case of road rage or possible road rage. it's hard to believe and it's all because a woman honked her horn. we will have more on the search for the shooter in this case. new information on bobby christina brown.

robert durst lawyers are calling for the millionaires release. the attorneys for him filed papers yesterday and stated that he was unlawfully arrested this week. durst lawyers say that the arrest was timed to coincide with the final episode of the hbo series about durst called the jinks. he will make an appearance monday to see if there's cause to keep him in jail. it is a bazaar pattern of coincidences. >> it started with a 1982 disappearance of of his first wife kathleen durst. >> from the beginning it was prince charming and cinderella. as time went on, it was more violent. she would call me late at night
3:46 am
about the violence. >> she said to me promise me if something happens, you will check it out. i am afraid of bobby. i said of course. >> she vanished in january of 1982 and durst did not report it for days. he reported seeing her last when he dropped her off at a train station. her friends suspected something sinister had happened. >> i went through the trash and found that he was throwing her things out right away. he knew that he was not coming back. >> since they never found her body and never had a crime scene, durst was never charged with with his wife's disappearance. she was declared dead. then susan the long time friend of durst was shot execution style and the timing of the murder was unusual and happening shortly before questioning her over the disappearance of kathleen durst. durst maintained his innocence.
3:47 am
>> i felt terrible for susan. it was astonished that they were putting all of this together that i did it or cause it, it to be done. >> bob durst did not kill susan and does not know who did. >> leads went cold and durst moved to texas and then morris black. in 2001 durst was charged with the killing and dismembering of his neighbor black. durst posted $300,000 bail but failed to show up for the hearing. he was later arrested in pennsylvania when he was caught shoplifting from a super market. the evidence appeared overwhelming and the body parts were found floating in separate garbage bags in the bay and inside the bag was newspaper with an apartment address linking durst to the crime. he admit today the crew some
3:48 am
killing and claiming self-defense, but in 2003 he was acquitted. >> robert durst, not guilty. >> the trial that we sat as jurors on was how morris black died. the actual charge that we had the answer was was he murdered or was he kill in self-defense or by accident? the state would not prove it. >> with no evidence linking durst to his wife's disappearance or his friend's murder and now acquittal. he was a freeman. for more than a decade he stayed out of the headlines until a shocking statement caught on mic during the six part documentary series initiated by durst himse
3:49 am
himself. >> i killed them all of course. >> okay. just so you know because i think it was covered up, but apparently he said yeah i killed them. pat criminal profile and ceo of the criminal profile agency joining us you now. pat, thank you so much. the first thing that i have to ask you about is the morris death. so he admitted to killing morris and admits that it was self-defense and gets out of that and acquitted. he dismembered a man. how is it self-defense? how does that get to this snoint. >> i heard before when someone was nothing of a homicide and took a woman home and when he woke up he was dead and he thought that he strangled her or did something and cut her up into pieces but later on they found that she died after
3:50 am
natural causes. can it happen? could it be in self-defense? could he have panicked? yes, he could have. it's easy to blame it on the victim and say that they made me do it. they're not around to say it's true or not true. the fact that the head was not found. he made sure that the head was never found because there's a bullet hole many the back of it that would kill the self-defense thing. i believe if this was a professional jury, we would have seen a conviction. what happens with the regular jury is kind of a crap shoot. this is what we're looking at in any future case. can we get off again. >> can the statement that was caught in the hbo series be used against him in some way? >> well here is the problem with that statement and that's why i do not think that they have a great case. he muttered something in the bathroom. he did not sit on his death bed
3:51 am
and say i killed berman. he did not say that. he was not answering to a are response. what we have is a guy muttering some strange things while going to the bathroom. now, was it connected to what they were just talking about? perhaps. was he thinking of something else? maybe. maybe he was making something up in his head and say that i killed them all. he could have said that. they can use a million defenses in a court of law and maybe him beginning the alzheimers and a little crazy. >> okay. so the fbi is asking them to take a look in cold cases in the areas that robert durst lived. he maybe linked to another case investigation in 1997 disappearance of 16 year old karen mitchel. i want you to take a look at this. the original composite sketch compared to durst.
3:52 am
you can not deny a bitter resimilar lance to him. in your appearance what do you make of this? >> i am always a little concerned when we talk about somebody resembles something. there are people that look like each other. is it durst? i don't know that it is. the problem is where is this girl's body? we don't have one. we have a missing person's case. we have no dna to connect him. unless this body of this girl shows up on his property some place or find her body and the dna is on her, it's really not too meaningful. >> much like the first wife whose body has not been found either. >> exactly. >> quickly. durst is being held in a mental health facility and his attorneys say he is not mentally ill. what do you think? >> well, in my opinion he acts like a psycho path and if they
3:53 am
convicted of killing three people, he is a psycho path. are they going to use an insanity defense if they go to court? no because he did not kill anybody. now he may have muffled something in the restroom because he is off, that does not mean that he is crazy. mean that is he has some issue. that's not insanity defense because he did not do. that's what they're going to say. >> pat brown, thank you so much for being with us. >> that case is fascinating the more that we learn about it. >> yeah, it's bazaar with a capital b. rounding up at the top of the hour. a man armed with a machete and wasp spray stormed through a security area in an airport. it's unbelievable and we will have the information on this and highlights coming up from the march madness upset. how is your bracket looking? once baylor lost, everything

4:02 am
armstrong international airport as an injured tsa officer is wheeled away on a stretcher. after a man attacked security staff at a checkpoint. >> he walked down to tsa preline, encountered the tsa officer that were checking the boarding passes with the scanning machine to be scanned. he was challenged at that point in time by the tsa officer. the response was that he pulled a can of wasp spray and strayed the officer in the face. >> police say that the suspect identified at 62-year-old richard white encountered two more agents and started to swing a machete. it continued through the security area until the suspect was shoot three times by a jefferson parish deputy. white is taken to a hospital and underwent surgery. police say that a shot also hit
4:03 am
a tsa officer that was being chase bid the suspect. the injury is not life threat threatening. the incident sent them scram scrambling to safety and shut down for a short period of time. >> we do not know if this member was travel were of the public. we suspect not. he has been a taxi driver and recently received a chauffeurs license and has little no or criminal activity. >> the investigation is ongoing , but it looks like an isolated incident approximate by an unstable individual. these were terrifying moments for the people there. on the one hand you had this man swinging a machete. to bring him down they started to fire bullets, so just
4:04 am
terrifying for anybody at the airport at that time. now the airport officials say that they expect concourse b to be up and running today. the airport has been secured. >> thank you. we appreciate you the update. thank you so much. the latest details on the terror attack in yemen. isis is claiming to be behind the deadly blasings that ripped through a mosque. the message says that these attacks are the tip of the iceburg and more will follow. cnn cannot verify the claims. let's go to cnn's correspondent nick peyton walsh for more. nick? >> today the terrible task of burying the dozen dead begins across yemen and across the capital. skp the powerful neighbor to the
4:05 am
north has offered aid to those being treated. the key question many are asking now is what next but most importantly who did this? the key prime suspect for an attack like this a multiple suicide bombing where one hits the main crowd and then those that rush to rescue. that happened at both mosque's and the key suspect is that they will be al qaeda but al qaeda says that it's not them and would not target crowds or gathering like that. those that come forward claiming responsibility is isis. that's a confusion because they're not known to have a powerful presence in yemen. they have made statements and they have asked and made an oath to the isis leader that was accepted. they have not been capable in the month months or so. if they're behind this and that maybe the case now, that would
4:06 am
mark a terrifying new chapter in yemens history. isis first having the foothold in a country where there's already unbelievable chaos and no government to speak of in the beginning of the civil conflict there. any way and of course the potential that isis is trying to push them and the victims in the blast sheer from the group there that are mostly sheer. those carrying out the attacks and that could replicate across the middle east and yemen has avoided it so much, ask that may not be the case anymore. >> okay. thank you. we want to talk about the terror in indonesia now. now cnn cannot confirm the message, but however two of the suspects did receive weapons training at camps in libya and we were activated from sleeper
4:07 am
cells inside. >> let's bring in lieutenant reid and retired delta force commander and operator joins us live from baghdad. i want to start with the narrative that we were talking about a couple of weeks ago. in iraq we were talking about the weaknesses and what's the significance of having these back to back with isis claiming responsibility? >> good morning victor. we're starting to see here especially is isis how they call it here are getting backed pretty hard and bad. the iraq security forces are doing a very good job of destroying the isis here. i believe that we're going start to see dice or isis starting to realize that they're not going be able to go toe to toe with the military and going to have
4:08 am
to revert back to you suicide bombings and attacks on soft targets throughout the region. victor. >> let's talk about yemen. the concern that isis has taken responsibility for this attack on such a large scale, why is that such a major concern considering ap also in yemen. why such a large concern for the snus. >> well this kind of goes back years now to what we call the father of isis who is if you remember literally ran al qaeda and the peninsula in iraq and the problem there was back in 04 and 05 before he was killed he sent a mass enjer who was special operations forces and captured with the cd and he told them to stop killing the muslims and they told him buzz off. now what we're seeing is the isis with the baghdad that's one of the lieutenants is continuing
4:09 am
to follow this, and with them spreading their terror throughout the region, it's really showing them as the poor player and the terror organization throughout the world and pushing al qaeda down, and it's really rising them up to the top and showing their ability to spread throughout the middle east and putter error throughout the world right now. >> so with the competition between al qaeda and isis, al qaeda came out with a statement denying responsibility and saying that it's inconsistent. do you think there's a large scale attack in the region to try to one up isis? >> yeah, that's my concern now. the problem is that the leadership of the organizations are maniacs. they literally vibe from the publication out there. fortunately i believe the good people of the world if they're
4:10 am
muslims or christians in the u.s., we get caught in the middle of these maniacs and trying to one up one another and throughout the media and throughout the world unfortunately. >> joining us live from beiaghd, thank you so much. >> yes, sir. talks have recessed but is a deal with iran in? we're looking at a live look from switzerland and we're going bring you that when he steps up. old man winter on the way out the door and leaves a few sprinkles of snow flakes. >> a few? >> yeah just a couple of inches. the snowstorm affecting millions across the northeast. ontainer s. before a truck delivers it to your store, a container ship delivered it to that truck. here in san diego, we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big,

4:15 am
>> with the deadline just ten days away they accessed the process. >> the thing to do is possible any time. it depends if there's a political victory. >> it's time for the u.s. and the allies to give a little to get the deal done and major differences remain in a last ditch effort president obama made the own appeal to the people and warning no deal would make the conditions even worse. >> iran's leaders have a choice. if they can not agree to a reasonable deal, they will keep iran on a path today and a path that's isolated iran and caused so much hardship and deprived so many and the jobs and opportunities that they deserve. >> the allies are still working on such you issues of how long a deal would last and a system verifying that they're complying and not secretly developing a
4:16 am
nuclear weapon and when the tough sanctions against them would end. >> the president believes, and i think with some justification that we need to see the irans demonstrate some sustained -- before we talk about removing the sanctions. >> now there's still stern opposition and mostly from republicans and dem kates, but with that said they did require congressional approval and so they're giving the white house some breathing room on this deal christy. >> okay. thank you so much. we appreciate it. first day of spring. not so much.

4:23 am
for hosting you and making this the headquarters for the press during the course of these negotiations. i also want to thank particularly the swiss government. i want to thank dj for his personal generous welcome to me each time that we come here, and i am very grateful for the enormous effort. they have become a special part of this negotiating process. we thank the citizen that have put up with any disrurpgss. swisser land is known for the deep resolution of the global issues and always contributing. i want to thank if i colleagues
4:24 am
and energy secretary that spent more time here than he thought he was going to. i particularly thank wendy sherman and a team of international diplomats and expert teams and all the members of the team and all of the political directors have been here in daily meetings and briefings. all of this has been going on for months on these negotiations. i want to acknowledge the foreign ministers, the head of the team for approaching these talks with seriousness and purpose and the willingness to commit very long hours to work through what are very complicated issues.
4:25 am
i am returning home today to washington stopping in london to coordinate with the european counter parts in the p 5 plus one and the foreign ministers of the united kingdom, germany france and the union. i spoke by telephone yesterday with the foreign minister of russia and with the foreign minister of china and i want to emphasis from the beginning, and i have said this in every public statement that i have made this is and remains a p five plus one negotiation with iran. i emphasize that we're united in the goal, approach, resolve and the determination to ensure that iran's program is peaceful.
4:26 am
the union has continued to play a pivotal role in the talks and participating in the meetings. over the last few days i have had talks about the steps that iran must take to demonstrate that the nuclear program now and ongoing into the future is exclusively for peaceful purposes. over the past months the p five plus one have made some substantial progress toward that goal. important gaps remain. in london we will share ideas this evening on how to resolve the remaining sticking points. as i did yesterday on the
4:27 am
telephone with the foreign minister. we will coordinate our strategies as we have and as we approach the end of the march dead line to reach an understanding of the issues. those of us tonight will return to the capitals for the consultations before coming back next week to determine whether or not an agreement is possible. i want to emphasize in my conversations with foreign minister and indeed over the last 16 months since the joint plan of action took affect, we have made process. we have all kept the commitments that we have and all lived up to the obligation. we have worked lock and hard to achieve an agreement that
4:28 am
resolves concerns on irans program. the stakes are high and the issues are complicated and all interrelated. once again let me also be clear. we do not want just any deal. if we had we should have announced something a long time ago and clearly since the joint plan of action was agreed we're not rushing. this has been a two and a half year more process, but we recognize that fundamental decisions have to be made now, and they don't get any easier as time goes by. it's time to make hard decisions. we want the right deal that would make the world including the united states and the closest allies and partners safer and more secure and that's our test.
4:29 am
president obama has been clear that the best way to achieve that security and that safety is through a comp rehensive and du rabl agreement and whose implementation is not base approximated on trust but knowing what is happening. in the days ahead, we will stay active and stay at this and exercise the judgment and patience to uphold the core principals and maintain the sense of urgency. we have not yet reached the finish line, but make no mistake, we have the opportunity to try to get this right. it's a matter of political will and tough decision making. it's a matter of choices, and we must all pick wisely in the days
4:30 am
ahead. thank you and we will see you next week. >> all right. so something interesting there as he talks about that certainly there have been lengthy conversations and the stakes are high and complicated and committed to making it work. he said important gaps remain. that counters what the iran president said earlier today to the media and saying that a nuclear deal with the sus within reach and achievable, while iran is ready to sign, the ultimate choice is up to the skpu.s. and allies. iran is saying that they're ready to sign and then we hear from the secretary of the state that says important gaps remain here. >> yeah, he is heading back to the u.s. and going to stop in london and speak with the representatives of germany and france and having conversations
4:31 am
with the foreign ministers and the security counsel from the united nations, and then he is going to be back next week to see if they can finalize the deal with iran. we will continue to bring you the latest as we get the reaction to what we're hearing from secretary again. repeating the phrase of sub stab substantial process has been made. police shot a man armed with a machete and bug spray after attacking tsa agents at the airport. >> richard white stormed through a security check point and doused them with wasp spray and then threatened them with a machete. >> this is scare ri and one
4:32 am
fought back and then a police officer shot white three times. we do not know his conditions. another airport condition to talk to you about here. report by a watchdog unveiled what they call aviation breach after a former member was allowed through a pre-check point. a supervisor cleared the check despite the history. a homeland security expert say that is it highlights the need to modify the pre-check point procedures. >> there seems to be a glaring hole in the security at the airports. they're never skreerned and last year in atlanta a delta employee smuggled dozens of guns on a plane because he was not screened. there are fears that they would exploit that loophole.
4:33 am
why the homeland security department is scrambling now to close that gap. >> 54,000 employees at los angeles airport report with no body screening and hundreds of doors like this one where a beige and a code gets you right on to the tarmac. think that's scary? >> i got ask you about the loan wolf scenario. right now what you have in place with hundreds of access and the screening that you go through, there's really -- it does not appear to be to be protection against the loan wolf. >> when out say that are you saying someone that has access. >> that guy that just walked in with a backpack and mug. we do not know what's in the backpack and mug and in his
4:34 am
heart and head. >> that's correct. >> does that concern you? >> it concerns me all of the time. with 54,000 employees that work in a large airport, there's no way that you're going to have the ability to screen every single person that comes to work in the airport. >> la tries to minimize the risk by maximizing random checks like this one. airport workers never know when and where spot checks could occur. they face background checks and yearly updates and a system built around everyone watching out for anyone that might seem suspicious. the chief admits nothing is foolproof. >> we have not really seen anything that could prevent what atlanta went through and that's guns being smuggled on airplanes. >> i agree.
4:35 am
in any airport and here also there's never a 100 percent guarantee that somebody could not who wanted to do something illegal or wrong could not make that happen. >> what happened in atlanta is causing a reaction at airports across the country and you can see why. these are guns. guns smuggled on to as many as 20 flights by one delta worker bag gauge handler. he took them to work in a backpack that was never screened. the motive was the crime pure profit and selling them in northeast cities. general manager testified to a committee that the real danger that the gun running exposed is the threat for terrorism. >> in the last six months for example we have started to see that people are being recruited
4:36 am
to engage in terrorists acts and being being recruited from the united states, so now we have a greater inside threat. >> atlanta is moving towards full airport employee screening, but it's not happened yet. a cnn investigation found that only two major u.s. airports miami orlando have screening and requiring them to pass through medal detectors. airports saying moving to screening would be too costly and time consuming for airport workers to wait in line like you and i, but some members of congress are not buying that and demand thag the department of homeland security review employee screening policies to make sure that airports are not leaving a door open to a possible disaster.
4:37 am
drew griffin cnn los angeles. >> so drew outlined the problem. what's the solution? homeland security say that is they do not have an issue. they say that solving it by requiring every employee to be screened would come with a huge price tag. a rap mogul collapses during court. was it the $25 million bail set by the judge. joey jackson joins us to talk about this. join us and more. stay close.

rap mogul is in a los angeles jail hospital ward after collapsing at a bill hearing yesterday. >> he bent over moments after the judge set the bail at $25 million. you can see her how deputies rushed over to him. >> he pled nothing after running over two men in january. stephanie has more on the case. >> suge knights troubles are
4:42 am
here and he gunned in a truck after an argument. the argument continues as knight debegins and what happens. the truck then hits carter and leaves the scene. >> i seen him turn around and go to his car and back it up and then he put it in drive and then he hitter erie carter. >> knights attorney say that he was acting in self-defense. >> there are witnesses saying that he was being attacked by a number of men and beating him through the car window and making an effort to leave. >> when knight arrived for questioning and booked on suspension of murder, he seemed cool and collective and stopping to put out a cigar. since he has been in custody he seems to have lost the swagger.
4:43 am
he has collapsed in court not once but two separate occasions and the first time after he pled nothing. the 49-year-old was taken to the hospital and complaining of chest pains. while in court another time he say that is he is blind in one eye and only 15 percent vision in the left eye. >> the second time that he collapsed after a set his bail. >> there's a great potential to flee and apparently has so in the past. in this court's opinion $25 million is reasonable. >> $25 million to get free on bond. several minutes after hearing that, knight dropped to the floor. >> he literally fell like someone pulled the switch and hit his head on the way down and he was unconscious. >> charges of violence are nothing new for knight that we want to jail in the late 1909.
4:44 am
>> i spoke to a lawyer that says that first of all they do believe it was an accident and say that the blindness in the left eye is really key here. if you remember the video you can see that the two men are on the left hand side of the vehicle. they're saying that he was just trying to flee the scene and could not see where they were standing. if he did not know they were there, he could not target them to kill them. okay. you have seen the video of this and joey jackson has something to say about it too. he is joining us in a moment. stay close. oh yea, that's coming down

4:48 am
so we have been talking of the $25 million bail that was set by the judge in shug knights case. here he is collapsing in court after hearing that. let's take to joey jackson. joey, here is the thing. i am learning if we can play the tape as well of the incident in question. shug knight. not this -- the car and the video that was outside when he ran over this person. $25 million joey. do you think that is fair? is that high for a case like this? what do you think? >> well good morning christie.
4:49 am
when a person is charged with a murder you get what is called remanded. remanded means that there's no bail, so even the fact that there's $25 million you can look at this and say that it's accessive and violent of the amendment but at the same time and the matter there are some that would set bail and expect it to be high when there's a murder involved and murder allegation and leaving the scene when a person is injured and dead. remember the charges are serious. when ever a judge setting bail there's a number of criteria that they use. the nature of the offense, seriousness of the events and the prior criminal history if any in this case we know that there's a significant criminal history, and as a result of that the judge also looks at a possible flight risk -- excuse me. here the district attorney was
4:50 am
speaking to the intentional intimidation of other witnesses. in light of that the judge felt it was appropriate to say that i will give you bail. i will give you bail but >> knight's attorney accused the attorney of watching too much empire. >> under statute he is entitled to a reasonable bail not excessive. there is no showing that mr. knight is some billionaire or millionaire. it's like she watches empire and comes in and says he is a shameless criminal. prosecute him. >> what do you think of him bringing up the hit tv show? >> we lawyers try to get creative in front of judges. sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't. but at the end of the day all cases come down to a victim, and in the event that mr. knight, he alleges self defense, if that is
4:51 am
borne out he will be free to go. there will be a trial, he will get due process. after a trial in the event a jury buys that it was self defense he will walk out the door. to the extent it is a victim who is dead you have to look out for that. >> you mentioned self defense. this is something that stood out to victor and i looked at each other like what? when we were listening to this. suge knight claims he is blind in his left eye and 15% vision in the other and that contributed to this. he didn't realize he was running over somebody. joey, if the you've got -- if you're blind in one eye and 15% vision in another how are you legally driving? >> that's a very good point and one that the jury i'm sure at the time of trial will be asking. ultimately, even if that is the case, and you know again, he'll have his defense in court and potentially he could say that he was under attack, he was invited there, that is at the location
4:52 am
of that alleged crime on the -- under false pretenses, they were attempting to rob him. he was attempting to leave, as a result. however, the prosecution in looking at the video will say he backed up, had every opportunity to flee, to leave, and to be out of harm's way. but he did not, he then proceeded forward, hitting one, killing them, mr. carter that is, and injuring the other. so, it's something the defense is going to have to look at. last point t defense can say look, my client believed that these guys were armed and dangerous. if he continued to leave he could have been a sitting duck, open target free to be shot upon so he had to come back in the way he did to protect and defend his life. we'll see how that plays 0 but but on the issue of bail, someone is dead, he should remain in custody so says the judge until it's all sorted out by a jury of his peers. >> all right. joey, always appreciate your insight, sir. thank you so much.
4:53 am
>> thank you. well, you know what time of year it is. the calendar says march, it's the madness going on. highlights of the upsets, the bracket busters that really prevented an ncaa tournament history.

one. it was number 11 dayton, they only have six players on scholarship, not one is taller than 6'6". they play like a bunch of pit bulls on red bull against providence. flyers playing with hustle, even got under the skin of providence's coach. check this out. he said i'm going to flip this chair, i don't care. well, the official did care. he slapped him with a technical foul. after that it got away from them. dayton pulled away from providence, 66-53. advanced to the round of 32. we have people going crazy in the studios, some dayton fans. other than that it was a tame day yesterday. on thursday was different. we had the close calls so we witnessed a new ncaa tournament record. five 1-point games in one day. the bracket busters, the one that everyone's talking about, georgia state. check this out. head coach ron hunter led the squad from a chair.
4:58 am
he had a torn achilles. he got height when this happened. yeah, that's his son rj hit the game-winning three. >> look at him. >> knocked him out of the chair. you know what, i have to get a new cast, doctors going to have to fix me up but it was worth it. i wouldn't change one second of it. >> this has been an interesting, interesting week. we're winning, i'm getting banged up, cut on, getting everything. the players are absolutely killing me with all of this right now. i'm rolling around not even a wheelchair, in a scooter, that's half broken. an interesting week. i won't trade this for the world. >> cinderella story in the making. kentucky's march continues this afternoon. the wildcats now 35-0 on the season. the tournament's top vorall seed. if they run the table the first team to finish with a perfect
4:59 am
season since indiana in 1976. can any one beat them? the next team is the 8 seed cincinnati bear cats, how about other games? what else. the action tips off at 12:10 on cbs with underdogs ucla and uab. kentucky and cincy at 2:40 eastern. xavier and georgia state, i'll be watching that one for sure at 6:10. watch the games all day and into the night on our turner sports sister stations, tbs and tnt. victor, you're in sixth place in the cnn standings with 24, you're one point behind. both crushing me though. >> where are you? >> really? >> you didn't get a chance to get that number? >> couldn't find it on there. >> thank you. always good to have you here. >> we've got a lot going on this morning. a busy morning of news. >> the next hour of your "new day" starts right now.
5:00 am
chaos at the airport. armed with a machete and wasp spray, a man goes on the attack in new orleans, passengers forced to flee and cops forced to shoot. >> new this morning attorneys for robert durst, the billionaire charged with murder, say-y was arrested illegally and should get out of jail, they say. your new day starts now. 8:00 in case you haven't looked at the clock because it's saturday morning. >> i'm victor blackwell. new this morning we're starting in new orleans at the airport and panic there, travelers just sent running as police shoot a man threatening tsa agents with a machete. this incident started with 62-year-old richard white storming through a security checkpoint, confronting a tsa agent and dousing him with wasp spray. >> it was a dramatic scene. one agent fought white with a piece of luggage.
5:01 am
a police officer opened fire shooting him in the leg, the chest and the face. following this story, what do you know about that man specifically? what have you learned? >> according to police he does not have a criminal background, just minor infractions so a lot of what investigators will do is interviewing family and friends and neighbors to just discover what made richard white go on this rampage? a chaotic scene at new orleans's armstrong international airport. as an injured tsa officer is wheeled away on a stretcher. after police say a machete-wielding man who used wasp spray attacked security staff at a concourse checkpoint. >> he walked down the tsa pre-line, encountered the tsa officer who was checking the boarding passes with the scanning machine to be scanned. he was challenged at that point
5:02 am
in time by the tsa officer. the response was he pulled a can of wasp spray and sprayed the officer in the face. >> police say the suspect identified as richard white then encountered two more tsa agents, and started swinging a machete. the incident apparently continued through the secure area until the suspect was shot three times by a jefferson parish sheriff's deputy. white was taken to an area hospital where he underwent surgery. police say a shot from sheriff's deputy also hit a tsa officer who was being chased by the suspect. her injury was not life threatening. the incident sent passengers and airport workers scrambling to safety and closed the airport for a short time. police do not have a motive in the attack. >> we don't know whether or not this individual was a member of the traveling public. we suspect not.
5:03 am
he has been a taxi driver, he's recently received a chauffeur's license, has little or no criminal history. >> now, the investigation is ongoing but at this point the sheriff and security experts believe we're not talking about a threat to national security but an isolated incident involving a very disturbed individual and obviously terrifying moments at the airport when he was swinging a machete as you mentioned one tsa agent had to actually protect himself with a piece of luggage. the airport, they diverted some flights to other concourses but officials say they expect to have concourse b up and running normally today. >> we hope so for all of those folks. thank you so very much. i want to tell you about another airport incident, report by a government watchdog unveiled what it called a, quote, significant aviation security breach. after a former member of the domestic terror group was allowed through a tsa pre-check
5:04 am
point. the felon was spotted by an agent but then a supervisor cleared the security check despite the man's history. a homeland security inspector said it highlights the need for the agency to modify its procedures. >> let's talk about these. let's bring in former assistant director of the fbi tom fuentes. tom, good morning. i want to start with the tsa pre-check story christi gave us. this man had a murder conviction connected to a domestic terror organization. how could someone like that get through the security pre-check process? >> i think victor, the mistake is he shouldn't be on the pre-check list. if they had him selected randomly to be able to go through pre-check i think they are going to have to take a hard look at that program. most of us, and i have the pre-check approval, comes from you know, the application process, the background process, the number of miles you fly with a particular carrier, so i don't understand how he was even able
5:05 am
to get a pre-check. as far as being banned from flight i don't know if his membership in an organization, he is apparently not on the no-fly list so it's not a bar to flying for him. >> what about the possibility that this has happened before, we know about this case, but possibly others that have not come to light? >> certainly. if people are going through the pre-check and at the time they go through security of pre-check, you know, no one's aware of it, they don't have to take off shoes, they don't have to remove a jacket or computer from their carry-on baggage so they are not getting quite the extensive check that people get going through the security line, but they are still being checked. and i went through pre-check a week ago and they saw something in my bag that made them suspicious and opened up my bag and went through the process. so they still do, you know, a diligent security check even at the precheck line. >> there is still some process there. let's move to new orleans
5:06 am
international and this case of the man with the machete and the wasp spray. i wonder do you think there will ever be any absolute security, i kind of know the answer but giving you space to run here, in places like the airport, or a mall, or a grols grocery store. maybe just mental illness. we're waiting. but can that be guaranteed? >> no. and you're right, you know the answer to it already, victor. there's no way. and you know, grocery store or other targets, softer targets than an airport. here at least you have the magnetometer lines, the checkpoint operated by tsa to prevent a person from getting onto a plane with a weapon, whether it's a gun or machete or a can of wasp spray in this case. so you know, wherever you set up a checkpoint is going to be the first place that you're going to have a problem with somebody
5:07 am
like this. >> all right. tom fuentes, thank you so much. thank you, tom. secretary of state john kerry says the stakes are high for a nuclear deal with iran. you saw live a short while ago here on cnn, kerry speaking from lausanne, switzerland saying reaching a deal is essential to making the u.s. safer. he is heading to london, back to washington before nuclear talks resume in switzerland this week. erin mcpike following this store us at the white house. erin, wondering what stood out to you in what kerry said? >> christie, he said that this potential deal has been a long process, it's been a long time in coming, but it's not over yet and they could still fail. essentially what he indicated here he is. >> we are not rushing. this has been a 2 1/2 year or more process. but we recognize that fundamental decisions have to be
5:08 am
made now and they don't get any easier as time goes by. it is time to make hard decisions. we want the right deal that would make the world including the united states and our closest allies and partners, safer and more secure. >> look, he also basically said that they are negotiating in good faith and going slowly so they don't make mistakes, christi. >> this is something that was interesting, though, erin, because as we heard him say, there are important gaps that remain here. we've also heard from iran's president this morning who said that a deal, a nuclear deal with the u.s. is within reach and achievable, but while iran is ready to sign the ultimate choice is up to the u.s. and its allies when all issues are resolved. it almost sounds like they are on different pages, erin. >> christi, that is right. look, president obama has said that same thing that kerry said this morning that significant
5:09 am
gaps remain, president obama has said this basically at every step in the process. i point out that iran's foreign minister took to twitter yesterday and said it's time for the u.s. to choose between pressure and agreement so it seems like iran is looking for the u.s. to capitulate. the big issue they are wrestling over is sanctions. we did hear josh earnest say repeatedly yesterday, almost a half dozen times they are looking for ways to snap sanctions back into place if iran doesn't hold up its end of the bargain. gaps remain but we heard this all the way through. >> erin, appreciate it. thank you. new this morning, seven children are dead in a terrible tragedy, killed when a fire raced through their home. this happened before dawn in brooklyn, new york. a woman and a teenage girl suffered serious injuries. the fire has been contained. police believe all of the
5:10 am
victims were family members. so seven children from one family lost. they are investigating what could have started this blaze. we expect to learn more at the bottom of the hour. still to come, new libyan connections to the tourist attack in tunisia. phil black is following the developments. he will join us after the break. isis now claiming responsibility for a major attack on a mosque in yemen. is this part of a new tactic by the terror group? 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. get great offers on our most dynamic models. now through march 31st. see your lexus dealer.

5:14 am
and more will follow. we have to say cnn cannot independently verify the legitimacy of these claims. >> let's go to tunisia. officials say two of the suspects who carried out the attack in a museum received weapons training in camps in libya. and in a new audio message isis is claiming responsibility for this attack. cnn cannot independently confirm the authenticity of that message. but it is troubling, let's go to phil black in tunisia. troubling, phil, not only because of what happened there and the number of deaths and the impact on the economy, but the connection that so many foreign fighters have come from this very small country, seem now in some ways that this is isis' doing are going back and striking. >> reporter: victor, there is a strong jihadi element that is a threat and the instability in
5:15 am
libya where you touched on the authorities here believe the two gn men responsible for this attack traveled across the border to that territory, received some sort of training there become coming back and carrying out the attack. they haven't gotten into detail about just the nature of that training. what did they learn? what were they taught to do? it's interesting because we spoke to a witness who witnessed, watched one of these gunmen up close. his assessment this was a man who didn't know his way around a gun. take a look. these were the panic scenes, security forces arrived at the museum. by that time the gun men had already killed many people. and moved deeper inside the complex. >> terrified. >> reporter: this man witnessed the start of the massacre. >> the moment when he started to shoot everybody in front of him. with no mercy. the blood, and innocent people
5:16 am
laying down. >> reporter: a tourist guide was waiting for his group to return when he saw a man that didn't look like a terrorist. >> man. >> in civilian clothes. not military. >> not military at all. civilian. blue jeans, shoes, blue jacket and shaved. and he did not pronounce words. >> reporter: he says the man then pulled what looked like a gun from his bag but didn't know how to use it. >> at that moment i thought he was one of the guests, one of the tourists. playing with a plastic gun. >> he got it working as crowds were leaving the museum. >> around 60 or 70 and he started to shoot everybody in front of him. >> reporter: he fled as forces arrived. after killing the gunman they were cheered as heroes. one of the attackers lived here.
5:17 am
his family is grieving and angry. his uncle says it's true, he carried out this terrorist attack. he was killed. we don't have his body back. he was also a victim of terrorism. the family says the morning of the attack he drank coffee like any other day. families across the globe are now struggling to understand why that normal ritual was followed hours later by horrific violence. >> reporter: so that witness we spoke to came very close to losing his life but also believes he has lost his livelihood. he is a tour guide, relies upon tourists and he and pretty much everyone here believes that this brutal simple attack had a grander purpose, to damage the country by destroying the tourism sector so vital to its continued growth. in the short-term at the very
5:18 am
least everyone here believes that operation was a success. >> we'll have an expanded conversation later about tourism and travelers to the mediterranean region. phil black for us, thank you so much. let's bring in lieutenant general mark hertling, former commanding general in europe, general, thank you for being with ugs. isis as we said claiming responsibility for two terror attacks in two countries in less than a week. particularly in yemen where we know al qaeda has always been the more forceful group there. if isis is indeed responsible, what does that say to you about their strength and how they are moving? >> it certainly has been a troubling week, christi. i say first, if we can address concerned me the most because - tunisia is a very beautiful country, for nen an who has been there, it has a constitutional republic, it has a code of
5:19 am
personal law which gives women so many rights and seems to be the model for emerging countries in north africa. to have this attack shows the terrorists are beginning to think almost in group crowd psychology that they can attack. that's troubling. when you're looking at yemen it's a completely different story. that is a failing and near failed state after so much hope that it could become a much better organization, a much better nation. and now you not only have the al qaeda versus hootie dynamic, you have embolden sunnis that are claiming association with isis that are going to stir that stew into something that's going to be continuingly troubling for many months to come. it's a dynamic without a government there. you compare it to to nearia with emerging great government with yemen which is a failing and
5:20 am
increasingly bad government and you've got the ying and the yang of that part of the world. >> you look at isis strongholds on the map you've got tunisia, this attack in tunisia, then libya, egypt, and across the red sea to yemen so you put all of that together, and james reese earlier said what they are doing in part is vying for who can win propaganda. they are as you said against al qaeda, against the hutis. do you have fear that any of these groups might merge as isis supposedly has done with boko har haram? >> i see it differently. i don't think we can color the map of tunisia saying it's an isis stronghold. this is the same kind of attack we saw in paris where it's a group of -- a small group of individuals trying to impose their will on a nation that's actually very strong. you're seeing other countries
5:21 am
like egypt that is -- attempting to fight these kind of groups, and push them down and really get a rule of law after the arab spring and as balance comes about. so there is some expanding and like i said before, it is group think. i'm actually concerned that as they search for legitimacy this could be troubling to isis because they have a bigger command and control problem. they have so many different groups with so many different initiatives, all claiming to be part of isis, it might be truthfully easier to defeat them in detail in each one of these countries but first you've got to get the government of these countries and their security forces to get their act together. >> how do you do that because so many of these governments when we talk about libya, we talk about syria, the government is in shambles essentially. how do you fight in that regard? >> all of it needs strengthening and you see these things when you have revolutions.
5:22 am
there's going to be a period of turmoil. the livian national army in fact today conducted attacks against terror training camps in their country. still a little -- disconnected to an overall strategy but at least you have some of the governments attempting to wipe out these terrorist groups. this is as we've said so for so long a period of time, this is going to be a long fight, there's got to be increased coordination, you have to have strong government and security forces, and most of the countries in north africa, not all but many of the countries in north africa and several of the countries in the mideast are having problems in all of those areas. so it is going to be a long fight with a lot of requirement for good governance and improved security forces. >> paul last night saying there is a new warning from the french prime minister saying never in the history of europe such a big terrorism threat, not a matter of the but when isis is going to strike again. and possibly bleeding into
5:23 am
europe and the u.s. with tourism. but lieutenant general hertling, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. we'll have that conversation in a moment. first let's bring it home. at least to the people in the northeast because looking at the calendar, it says first full day of spring. >> doesn't look like it. >> look out the window, it says we might as well be in the middle of winter. spring hasn't exactly sprung yet. who saw five inches nearly of snow. plus, the family of bobbi kristina brown has moved her out of the hospital and into a new rehab facility. does this mean her condition has improved? we've got that report.
5:24 am
sunday dinners at my house... it's a full day for me, and i love it. but when i started having back pain, my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help. i took tylenol but i had to take six pills to get through the day. so my daughter brought over some aleve. it's just two pills, all day! and now, i'm back! aleve. two pills. all day strong, all day long. and now introducing aleve pm for a better am. you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... suddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. moare transportedcts on container ships.

5:26 am
5:27 am
26 minutes past the hour. a look at other stories developing for you here. >> talk about developing. a winter storm developing. not exactly what you expect for the first full day of spring. snow across much of the northeast. >> new york city, got as much as 3 inches of snow. connecticut more than 5. new jersey saw 3. enjoy it for the day and a half or so. the house committee investigating benghazi has requested that hillary clinton hand over her server. in a letter the committee gave clinton until april 3 to respond to the request or face a possible subpoena. a clinton spokesman didn't say she would grant the request. clinton has said she will not turn over her personal server. >> bobbi kristina brown has been
5:28 am
moved to a rehab facility. although sources close to the family have not said that her condition has improved. bobbi kristina brown has been in a medically induced coma since being found unresponsive in a bathtub in january. >> post francis is holding a mass in what is the most dangerous part of naples but there are pictures we're getting in. earlier we know he said a prayer at a shrine in pompeii. today a little later the pope will meet with members of the clergy, he's going to meet with folks suffering from illness, and then talk to the young people in the community. we have an update on the bloody arrest of a black university of virginia student. still ahead why police say this investigation, it could take weeks. this as fellow classmates march out of an on campus forum in protest of the takedown.
5:29 am
economic education, social justice, some of the reasons why equality between blacks and whites struggles to improve. a black america in crisis, we'll ask the head of the national urban league next. >> we look forward to that in a moment. first this week's cnn money advance profiles a business designed to provide meals for busy families who don't have time to cook. this business also donates the proceeds to a food bank. look. i always had a problem with what's for dinner. i look at my wife and she works, too. we also have young kids at the time, i figured there must be another option to get healthy but really delicious food. >> i'm the co-founder. the company started out of my living room in san francisco. then we quickly moved into a commercial kitchen. people can order wholesome food cooked by top chefs. there is a different menu that they are cooking and it's

5:34 am
34 minutes past the hour. new details for you involving the arrest of an african-american student from the university of virginia. according to officials the investigation into the incident could take they estimate weeks now. and we're learning martese johnson, the student, was reportedly taken to a health center with concerns of head swelling or last night. he was only taken we're told as a precaution. all of this, though, happening just days after a uniformed alcohol control agent took martese to the ground, his head
5:35 am
was slammed to the pavement. students are calling for change when it comes to use of force. they each walked out in protest during a forum on the uva campus. brian todd was there and clues us in what happened. >> his head is bleeding. >> the arresting agents described him as agitated and intoxicated. martese johnson says he did nothing wrong. that the agents used excessive force. his attorney says johnson had a ma individual illinois state i.d. but when asked for his zip code he gave his mother's krnt address, different from his i.d. card. >> how does this happen. >> johnson suffered a head injury requiring ten stitches. on the university of virginia campus outraged students press top law enforcement officials on the johnson arrest. martese johnson was at the forum
5:36 am
but different speak. neither did agents there, virginia's top safety official says he doesn't know if this is about race. says the accusation of excessive force is being investigated and -- >> any of the officers involved in that arrest have any disciplinary measures taken against them in the past? >> we're allowing the investigation -- that type of information is important to gather and we've asked the state police to gather that information. >> now a top virginia legislator is putting immense pressure on this alcohol enforcement agency. >> they are not appropriately trained, they don't have the proper protocols and don't implement them appropriately and here is another example of them being overzealous in enforcement. >> david says it's time to consider taking weapons and the power to arrest away from abc agents, contacted by cnn officials wouldn't comment. this isn't the first time the
5:37 am
agents have been accused of exexcessive force. a university of virginia student was swammed by abc agents. they surrounded her car, at least one of them pulled a gun. they thought she was buying alcohol under aged. turns out all she had was sparkling water and cookie dough. on the 911 call from inside the student's car, fear and confusion. >> does somebody have a gun? >> my god. oh, my god. >> student elizabeth daily was arrested that night but she later got that taken off her record and settled a lawsuit for more than $200,000. after that incident the virginia abc department disciplined the agents and reformed practices. but there could well be another round of that in the weeks ahead. brian todd, cnn, charlottesville, virginia. we know that the virginia department of alcohol beverage control is not the first agency to face accusations of police
5:38 am
brutality. we reported on ferguson, missouri, new york, the concerns about equality and police practices have dominated the news of the past year. and according to a new report from the national urban league there is a big equality gap between blacks and whites, combine with deficits in education and health care and earning disparities in short african-american leaders like the president of the national urban league say the black america is in crisis and as you see we have mark with us now. good morning. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> good to have you. so, some of these disparities are not new. but the use of the word crisis suggests that the disparities, these gaps are growing. is that what's happening? >> over a 10-year period, the gap has grown slightly. the important thing is we're not making progress. we use crisis because in the area of economics that we really
5:39 am
looked at, very carefully and we looked at the 70 largest cities in america, we found black unemployment levels over 15% in 33 of the 70 cities, and black unemployment levels of over 20 in seven cities. these are depression, recession area -- era unemployment levels, and for the people who are unemployed, for those communities, it represents a crisis. now, no doubt we certainly would celebrate the idea that the economy has begun to produce over 200,000 jobs per month and that's an astounding number considering that trend is the most consistent trend of that type of job creation since 1977. >> mark, there are some would say a high tide lifts all boats. the unemployment rate is dropping, why is this not happening for the black
5:40 am
community as well? >> well, our report may not identify the why, and there could be long debates on the why. but our report tells the truth about what we face and we also try to emphasize what kind of remedies, what kind of policies, what kind of things we need to do. the important thing is some people seeing the economy where it is may want to do a somersault or spike the ball and that is not what we suggest because people are being left behind. so we recommend a strong youth employment bill. the unemployment levels for youth and young adults, particularly youth and young adults of color, are even higher than 20%. they reach 30 to 40%. in many of these communities. that is a crisis. that is not sustainable. that produces other problems. so we think that there needs to be attention to that.
5:41 am
lest we be sort of all crisis, i do want to point out one area where we saw improvements, it's notable. that the health disparity area, the health index has narrowed by several percentage points over the last two years. we believe it has a lot to do with the affordable care act, the expansion of insurance and medicaid brought on by the president's leadership. so what it tells us is that when you see a big problem and you try a remedy and the remedy works we've got to certainly note that. so with the economy -- there needs to be additional steps. >> one specific number that jumped out to me. the report finds that black americans, 72% equal to white. how did you come up with such a precise number here? >> this is put together by a team at ihs, we have been doing
5:42 am
this index for over ten years and we look at 300 data sets, and we've created this index which compares for example the homeownership rate among blacks, with the homeownership rate among whites and that's the black/white index. homeownership among latinos and whites so. there are 300 data sets like that, that are put into an index. that measures this. and the reason why we did this victor, is because we want this discussion about gaps in disparities, to be grounded in facts, to be grounded in data. and not just grounded in anecdotal information or perceptions that people have. we have to have the debate on how to close these gaps, how to fix these challenges. but we need to have a good starting point that is based on factual information. >> mark, thank you so much for bringing us the findings of the report. >> and it's at state of black america.org get the full report

14 minutes to the top of the hour. attorneys for jailed millionaire robert durst want new orleans authorities to release him. they filed papers in court saying he was arrested illegally and there is no probable cause to keep him behind bars. they asked a judge to set a
5:47 am
hearing. durst has been charged with the murder in the 2000 shooting death of his friend susan berman. >> you notice how happy she was. he was standing there. he was happier in the jump suit in the back of the car. >> sometimes pictures tell. >> that's what i'm thinking. the fbi is asking police dust off long unsolved murder cases and see if they have any links to durst. there are still unanswered questions about the disappears of his wife kathy in 1982. so criminal defense attorney joey jackson knows this case. he has something to say about it. let me ask you first, yes, why are durst's attorneys arguing his arrest was illegal and do you think there is credence to the argument? >> it's called the fruit of the poisonous tree, christi. it's a fancy term for saying if the arrest is not predicated upon probable cause, then anything that is found as a
5:48 am
result of that arrest has to be thrown out, suppressed and never sees the light of day. so the attorneys are making the argument, two separate cases here of course, the case in new orleans and that pertains to the possession of a weapon, that was found in his hotel. there is the allegation that the weapon was also found with marijuana so that's two charges, possession of a weapon by a felon, in addition to the possession of a weapon with controlled substances. so the attorneys are arguing what arrest warrant? there wasn't a warrant issued based upon a documentary, based on hand writing letter you say is similar, based upon something you say is a confession, if the you don't have more we're going to find out at the evidentiary hearing that arrest warrant shouldn't have been issued. if it shouldn't have been issued the items found in his hotel shall not see the light of day. that's what the argument is predicated on. does it have merit? we'll wait for the hearing to decide. >> do you think it has merit? >> i do, christi, to the extent
5:49 am
what attorneys always do what we do is challenge any evidence that's going to be admitted so. whether that argument has legs will depend upon that search warrant and that arrest warrant, and exactly what was in there. was there more information or evidence other than you know, a letter that looks similar in a documentary, or some ramblings he had in the bathroom. i would presume that the authorities have much more than that. >> let's just -- people don't know let's listen to the ramblings in this series called t "the jinx." this is what he was overheard. >> killed them all. of course. >> he says i killed them all of course. so, can that be used, again we don't know the context or what he was thinking when he said it
5:50 am
but can that statement be used in court? >> i'd love when you cross-examine me. what happens, they are going to look at this statement and say this. the attorneys initially are going to move to exclude it. how? this was an hbo documentary, having nothing to do with the police. the argument the attorneys will make is that it was -- they were acting as agents of the police so there was state and police action here. because remember, when you move to suppress something it has to be governmental and police action. this was a documentary independent of the police. we find out later, however, that hbo was working closely with the police and to that extent the attorneys would argue he had a reasonable expectation of privacy that was in the bathroom and as a result of that expectation of privacy, this should not come in because of the fact that he was overheard saying something. now, to the extent they lose that argument the issue then becomes what does this mean what he was saying? was it a confession, under oath or were they the ramblingings of
5:51 am
someone who could be sarcastic. >> joey jackson, always appreciate your perspective. >> so much to unpack in this case. just the beginnings of it. have a great day. >> you're right about that. thank you, you too. have you worked on something, you know, major, packaged and beautiful, and then had it torn apart in front of you? if you have, then you know how a group of fourth-graders in new hampshire feel after they get an ugly lesson in law making. you'll want to spend a minute and a half and watch this. need n the runway later. don't let a severe cold hold you back. get theraflu... ...with the power of three medicines to take on your worst pain and fever, cough and nasal congestion. it breaks you free from your toughest cold and flu symptoms. theraflu. serious power.

it's like house of cards. for fourth-graders. a group of young students got to watch democracy in all of its vicious glory during a trip to the new hampshire state legislature. >> they were trying to learn how a bill becomes a law so they had proposed making the red tail hawk the state raptor. and they were there when the bill was debated. >> we already have a state bird but now do we need a state raptor? isn't that a bird? isn't that an animal? >> so are we going to have you know, flightless birds, water fowl, pet birds, garden birds, wild birds? how many of these bills do we need to have? >> only one other state has a state raptor. why do we need a state raptor? >> we keep bringing more of these bills and bills forward that really i feel we shouldn't have in front of us, we'll be

picking a state hot dog next. >> must we designate one state raptor? does a raptor that is found everywhere in the country symbolize new hampshire? >> it's known for extremely strong and sharp talons, but graps and then uses its razor sharp beak to rip its victim to shreds and basically tear it apart limb by limb. i guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as much better mascot for planned parenthood. >> you've got the kids sitting there watching all of this. no love. no chill there in the state legislature in new hampshire. none. brutal. of course you hear there the reaction, listen to one student and the faculty member.
