hello, everyone, i'm errol barnett. welcome to viewers in the u.s. and around the world. >> i'm rosemary church. we're going to beginning with breaking news from kenya where gunmen have launched an early morning attack on a university. local media say police and military are on the scene this hour engaging the attackers.

cnn affiliate ntv report at least two police officers and one student are injured. that's what we know so far. >> this has been unfolding the past few hours. it's happening at garissa university college. one witness telling cnn that students were asleep in their dormitories around 5:00 in the morning when the shooting began. >> we have a report from nairobi. robert, tell us what information you have on this attack so far. >> reporter: we have basically what you're seeing, the attacks are outside -- the shooting sporadically. it's not clear how many were killed. local security saying at least two police officers have been

injured, two security officers. not clear if it's the army or regular police. i've spoken to the former acting inspector general of police who told me there's engagement currently. they have surrounded the attackers. he's saying that now. he's not clear on what casualties are there. >> and robert, what are the number of attackers? do we have any idea what authorities are dealing with here at this hour? >> reporter: the security officers are saying that at least ten of them are under attack. none of them know the exact number or a clear number of how many attacks there were. >> there's reports that this may well be al shabaab militants.

we don't know, of course, at this time. what are authorities telling you about that assumption? >> reporter: the authorities -- [ inaudible ] >> reporter: there was a clear intelligence report i believe to the colleague in the country because they received a security warning for my colleagues. nairobi issued a clear security warning to the students of the impending attack. they had increased security. i've spoken to students at the university where the attack is underway now. they told me that security was weak.

there were supposed to be two police officers at the gate. but most of the time they weren't there. it's not clear if they were warned of the attack. >> talking with a blogger monitoring the situation from nairobi. thanks for bringing us up to date to the situation on the ground. it's still early, and we're gathering information. let's bring in ntv's dennis okari from nairobi. what can you tell us about what's unfolded and the status of the students and attackers this hour? >> reporter: it's around 5:30 in the morning. after the monitor in the campus, the military surrounded the compound. the area has been cordoned off. to bring you up to speed, several more casualties have

been brought up including one military officers. i've spoken to red cross officials who were telling me that most of the casualties have been evacuated. they are still trying to disclose where they could be hiding. the number could be between six and ten. we're not sure yet. we've been trying to monitor al shabaab. we understand the counselor is holed up inside the campus. >> we're looking at the map of where garissa university is located. it looks relatively well developed. we heard the last reporter there say that security on campus is reported to have been weak. only two security officials supposed to be manning a gate. they weren't there. can you fill us in on what the security situation was or would be expected at that university?

all right, if you can hear me, what kind of security would we usually see at this college? >> reporter: just normal guards. the police didn't actually say that -- this is from what eyewitnesses told us. the gunmen and at the gate are security guards. those were the first casualties as they made their way into the campus. the police were notified in the attack, and the military came in a few hours later. from 5:30 in the morning to around 7:30 in the morning, the military was still outside. they had no idea yet what exactly was going in. there the area is not monitored by security agencies. these were just security agents

monitoring the gate outside. >> as we wait for more information, you know, all of this happens a few short years after the westgate back that which disagreements between local police and the military, it's believed, led to an increase in casualties in what was a horrible massacre. in response to that, what has kenya done to beef up security at places around the country? >> reporter: security agencies are saying they've raised alerts over time against attacks. you should realize that in kenya the challenge is security. not far from garissa we've had several incidents where al shabaab have come in, carried out attacks, and killed more than 100 in particular areas. it's a challenge in terms of

security present at the moment. this was easy for the gunmen because most of the attacks against the monitors have been around the northern part of the country but not to the cities in kenya. >> our correspondent speaking to us from nairobi in a breaking development out of garissa. he talked about seven casualties including the security guards at the front gates. giving us a timeline of events saying that's where the attackers, we don't know who exactly, of course al shabaab expected. they made their way into the dormitories where students were sleeping. it was just chaos. >> yeah. this happened at like 5:30 in the morning. some students were praying at the mosque. they understand there's potentially ten attackers or so. we know military and police are there on the scene. they're trying to control this. we understand from various

people we've spoken to that the attackers are holed up on the campus. this is a care f.y.ing situation for students there. and of course there's been problems at this university before. garissa university college. the problem here, of course, is we don't know much more than what we're sharing with our viewers. we understand from viewers in the area, they want more information on this. we'll continue to cover it and come back to the story as soon as we get more developments. >> absolutely. we'll continue to connect with people and bring the story together. >> exactly right. let's move on for now. marathon talks in switzerland aimed at restricting iran's nuclear program are set to roadside baum in just a few hours from now. >> iran and six world powers did not meet the deadline for a framework agreement but did commit to further negotiations. the u.s. secretary of state, iran's foreign minister, and a top diplomat with the european union met until early thursday morning. >> the white house has warned it will walk away if the talk are no longer productive.

jim sciutto reports on the key sticking points. >> reporter: with a deal in danger of disappearing, secretary of state john kerry and his fellow negotiators still searching for resolution in switzerland. the nuclear talks now stretching not only the definition of deadline but also of agreement with officials now hoping for a simple statement of goals rather than the hard commitments they originally intended. the white house placed the blame on iran -- >> while the talks have been productive, we have not yet received the specific tangible commitments that the international community seeks. >> reporter: iran shifted it right back to the west. >> i certainly hope that our colleagues will recognize the fact that this is a unique opportunity that will not be repeated, and they need to take advantage of this opportunity. >> reporter: fact is, extension has been the name of the game in these talks since the sides reached an interim agreement in november, 2013.

the talks were extended the following july, extended again that november, and then on tuesday and today, extended yet again, albeit just in 24-hour increment. the deadline for a final agreement is june 30th. the biggest sticking point may simply be trust. the foreign minister leads the iranian delegation. the supreme leader holds the power. the same supreme leader who presides over the country the u.s. accuses of promoting terrorism and has cultivated a long history of anti-americanism at home. like the death to america chants we wented on our last visit to iran. that toughness may be reaping dividends at the negotiating table where long-time negotiator robert einhorn says iran is driving the harder bargain. >> the iranians may have concluded that the u.s. team was under so much pressure to get a

deal that the u.s. and its partners would make all the remaining concessions. >> reporter: jim sciutto, cnn, washington. another big story we're following -- iraq says its hard-fought battle for tikrit is over. the prime minister led the celebration wednesday in the city held hostage by isis for nearly a year now. it took several attempts to retake tikrit. the final push came with help from shia militia and u.s.-led air strikes. iraqi troops are still battling pockets of resistance. rescuers are fighting freezing temperatures and biting winds in their search for 15 people still missing after a commercial fishing ship sank off russia's far east coast. this happened in the sea that's 250 kilometers south of magadan. at least 54 have died. more than 60 have been rescued from the icy waters. still no word on why the ship

sank. we're going to take a very short break now. i do want to remind you we are continuing to follow the situation, the attack in kenya at the garissa university college. we understand about ten attackers are holed up on that campus. and police and military are on the scene. we'll have more details for you after this break. the promise of the cloud is that every organization has unlimited access to information, no matter where they are. the microsoft cloud gives our team the power to instantly deliver critical information to people, whenever they need it. here at accuweather we get up to 10 billion data requests every day. the cloud allows us to scale up so we can handle that volume. we can help keep people safe, and to us that feels really good.

we're following breaking news out of kenya where gunmen have attacked a college campus. this in the town of garissa. a reporter for cnn affiliate ntv reports at least seven people have been wounded. he also says there are between six and ten attackers involved. >> and we are hearing that a fire-fight between police and the attackers is still going on at this time. no one has claimed responsibility at this hour, but garissa is not far from the border with somalia, and al shabaab militant have been active in this area in the past. >> we will of course continue to bring you development over the next few hours as we get them. now, we want to bring new information on the crash of germanwings flight 9525. a french prosecutor says anyone claiming to have video from inside the plane before it crashed should give to investigators immediately. a german newspaper and french magazine say they've seen video of the final seconds of the flight. >> they say it was recovered

from a cell phone found at the crash site. investigators say they have not seen any such video. [ bell ] >> meanwhile in germany, a huge crowd showed up for an emotional memorial service to honor the 16 students and two teachers from this town killed in that crash. >> the ceo of lufthansa is expressing deep sorrow over the crash. he visited the crash site for the first time tuesday. >> reporter: board an executive chopper, lufthansa and germanwings' bosses arrive to observe recovery efforts. motorcycle out-riders escort them to the mobile lab where crash victims' remains are identified. then a short drive to the foot of the mountains where flight 9525 went down.

a wreath of pink roses, salmon carnations, and pale orchids. no written dedication. silence as they stare to the snow line. >> there's not a single hour where we don't think about this terrible accident. the victims and the relatives and friends of these victims. >> reporter: reading from a statement prepared earlier, lufthansa's ceo still calls this an accident. investigators say it was no accident but a deliberate act by the co-pilot. >> i think it will take a long, long time for everybody, all of us to understand how this could happen. >> reporter: that's the question on everybody's lips. in a march 26th interview with cnn, the ceo denied lufthansa had prior knowledge of co-pilot andreas lubitz' six-year battle with mental illness.

>> the pilot passed all his tests, medical exams. they can report about problems or report others without punishment. that hasn't been used either in this case. >> reporter: tuesday the airline conceded it had turned up corporate paperwork from 2009 indicating lubitz reported his own mental issues when he suspended flight training. why was his mental health not regularly monitored? >> can you tell us your -- >> reporter: the airline bosses were not taking those questions wednesday. >> can you tell us why you didn't stop a man with psychological issues flying your plane? >> reporter: a pledge to families -- >> we don't only help this week. we want to help as long as help is needed. that's also my promise. >> reporter: then they fly out of this mountain graveyard.

we're monitoring breaking news out of kenya where gunmen have attacked a college campus in the town of garissa. >> a reporter for our affiliate ntv reports at least seven

people have been wounded. he says there are between six and ten attackers involved, and police and military are still in a fire-fight with those gunmen. >> the u.s. state of california is wilting and crumbling under a relentless drought never been seen in the state's recorded history. now, governor jerry brown is ordering cities and town to reduce their water usage by 25%. cnn's sara sidner takes us to one california town to show us the unprecedented water crisis there. they say you never miss a well until the water runs dry. it's true. who would have ever dilute i wouldn't have water? >> did you ever actually cry because -- >> i cried. i cried myself to sleep a lot of times and lost weight. >> reporter: unlike a small earthquake that jolts you into the reality that you need to be prepared for the big one, the drought is kind of like a slow-moving disaster. you don't realize how bad it is until it hits you hard.

how long have you not had running water in the house? >> it's been a year and one month. my daughter, you know, she came from school -- mommy, i can't live there way. they say, i don't got water, i didn't shower. that i stink. >> reporter: from a town to the countryside, you get a glimpse of exactly what the drought is doing to the state especially here atop pine flat lake. it's one of california's largest reservoirs. you'll notice when the water runs out, there are rings left behind where the water once was. even gps is having trouble keeping up. according to this, we should be submerged in deep water right now. >> we really had a terrible winter in terms of rainfall and snowfall. there's no snow in the mountains. there will be no snow melt to recharge, replenish those reservoirs. california has about one year of water left in its reservoirs on the surface.

>> reporter: so far, county officials say more than 960 households have reported their wells have run dry which accounts for up to 5,000 people who don't have running water this their homes. what are people doing? well, sometimes it's neighbors helping neighbors. sometimes people are getting water just stacked up on their front door. and other times, nonprofit groups and the county are working hard to try to bring tanks in yards so people can have running water. it's a temporary fix. >> we work with them because you want to help them with something -- you know, at the same time, you know, what can we do for them? you know, we can provide everything that they need. there's 24 shower units. >> reporter: how often are they used? >> every day. every day. there are resources coming in -- they're helping somewhat. the crisis is growing. the situation is growing worse by the day. >> the amount of water that we have available to us in the west

is in steady decline. we have to embrace that if we want to keep living out here. >> stark stuff there. our sara sidner in a dry and desperate pine flat lake, california. >> we want to get more on this story. our meteorologist, pedram javaheri, joins us now with more. it was true what we heard from the lady at the start. you don't know what you've missed until the water runs dry. >> yeah. it's getting there quickly. you know, the numbers are staggering of how much water they need, how little water they have to work with. and it goes back to what's happening across the high sierra. of course, we came out of the winter season, what you would typically call the wet season across this portion of the world. the snowfall and snow depth across the region and deficit that is in place absolutely remarkable. only 5% of what is considered normal across the sierra mountain range when it comes to snow depth. every single 1st of april, officials from the water resources in california get to the high sierra, this was april 1st, 2010. they measure the snow depth and

its percentage across the region. the numbers have been on a steady dechain in recent years, as well. we had a 32% snow depth when it came to the survey that occurred on april 1st, 2014, down to 5%. the located looked like this wednesday when the officials from the california department of water resources made their way to the area. you think about the water and necessity of the water. in this part of the world, when you talk about the sierras, 75% of the surface water comes from snow melt in the sierra. they have very little to work with. 40% of drinking water out of the snow melt. little to work with. with the 25% reduction the governor is proposing, mandatory reduction in place, that would save the state of california nearly 500 billion gallons of water over the next nine months. the deficit what they need to save to get them out and replenish the drought would be over 11 trillion gallons of water that is needed. all else remaining equal when it comes to the weather pattern not changing, say, over the next

couple of years, it would take four decades of such savings to make up the debt that is only a 4.4% savings over the next nine month in a deficit of the drought situation. kind of conversely of talking about the extreme drought. show you what's happened in antarctica in recent days. potential record hottest temperature ever observed on the continent. a 63.5% fahrenheit or 17.5 celsius, more than double what is considered normal for this time of year. in fact, on the 24th of march when the temperature occurred, rosemary and errol, it was 62 fahrenheit in san francisco. it was warmer in the antarctic peninsula than in san francisco. that happened for two consecutive days in late march. stark stuff there. >> stunning. those fluctuations are all part of climate change over a long time. places gets warmer, more dry in california. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> thanks a lot. we're going to take a short break. we want to let you know we are continuing to cover this breaking news out of kenya where garissa university college has

been stormed by gunmen, we understand perhaps six to ten gunmen holed up there on the campus. police and military are on the scene trying to contain this situation. about seven casualties at this point. we don't know how serious that is at this point. we will continue to follow the developments and bring them to you as they come in. 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. here in san diego, we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big, running this clean, will be much better for the environment. we're proud to be a part of that.

we continue to follow breaking news out of kenya. a number of people have been wounded in an attack on a university in the town of garissa. some new information in to cnn from the kenyan red cross is

that we understand there have been 30 casualties as a result of this. four of them serious. most of them are gunshot wounds. our reporter with affiliate ntv says at least seven people suffered gunshot wounds when gunmen burst on it the campus and opened fire. that matches up with these numbers. they may increase as the hours move on. he says there are between six and ten attacker currently engaged in a fire-fight with kenyan military and police. cnn spoke with a student at the school earlier who said the attack started around 5:30 in the morning as most everyone on campus was asleep in their dormitories. a number were at the mosque praying. another witness says the gunmen were dressed in military uniform. and we are working to bring you more information on this breaking story, of course. we do want you to stay with cnn for updates as we get them. just repeating what we heard there from kenya red cross, we understand 30 casualties have

been taken to hospital. four of those casualties are serious. the majority are gunshot wounds. we will continue as we say to bring you more information on those -- that situation. >> if you follow some of the people on social media who are there, they were talking about ambulances going back and forth from the university. things looking scary, things not looking good. we could see these numbers increase over the next few hours. what you're seeing is a tweet that the u.s. embassy in nairobi sent out in response to the attack. >> we are saddened and angered by the attack at garissa university, what is t reads, our deepest condolences to family and friends of the victims, #cowards. cowards never win. all right. now of course we want to continue with another story. we haven't forgotten what is happening there in kenya. we will come back to it as soon as we get more information. we do want to turn to one of the

deadliest attacks in yemen since the saudi-led military operation began. an explosion killed more than two dozen workers at a dairy in the port city. >> there are conflicting accounts about whether this was an air strike or rocket fired from a nearby army base. saudi arabia and its sunni allies have been bombing houthi rebel targets for a week. they're trying to end the insurgency by the iranian-backed rebels. turning to syria now and thousands of innocent lives are at risk after isis took over several parts of a palestinian refugee camp. it's happening right on the doorstep of syria's capital, damascus. this amateur video claims to show smoke rising from the yarmouk camp where isis militants are fighting other rebel groups. the u.n. says some 18,000 people live in this camp and are at

extreme risk of death, further injury, and displacement. it's calling on all parties to protect civilians. meanwhile, islamist rebels control the sea -- city of idlib. >> they took control after a four-day offensive of government troops. nick parker with more on the significance of this sapture and its impact in syria's bloody civil war. >> reporter: cell phone video captures the release of dozens of men from a prison in idlib, syria. they praise god and kiss their liberators as they stream out of their cells. bashar al assad and the syrian government had been holding them until fighters set them free over the weekend. the hardline rebels who formed an alliance with other sunni islamist groups including the al

qaeda-linked al nusra front. the so-called army of fattah movement took control of idlib after a four-day offensive against government troops. this video appears to show residents welcoming them with open arms. this man shouts "god is the greatest. this is the best joy i have ever experienced in my life. i've been craving this joy for three years. may god save you, and nay joy spread all over the country." the scars of civil war are evident down almost every street corner in idlib, crumbled buildings, burnt-out cars and a symbol of change as insurgent fighters stomp on the head of this damaged al assad statue. for now, abu zaid is in charge. "civilians are in safe hands," he says. mujaheddin is working on security and returning families to their homes. the vegetables vowed ton

monopolize power in idlib but have announced the city will be ruled according to islamic sharia law. this resident says the situation is excellent. thank god we've gotten rid of these unjust rumors who are making life miserable. idlib is an important capture. it's just 30 kilometers from the turkish border and next to a highway linking damascus to aleppo and the coastal province. the fall of idlib marks only the second time al assad has lost control of a proviedge capital during this -- provincial capital during this war. this is now the home base for isis. monitoring groups says the military is not letting the town go without a fight. warplanes have staged a number of raids since its capture killing at least 126 syrian insurgents. rebels also claim the government launched a clear even gas attack -- chlorine gas attack.

this video shows the ultimate victims of all of this volatility -- the children of syria. nick parker, cnn. from syria to the u.s. state of arkansas now. the governor has changed his mind about a religious freedom bill after an outcry over a similar measure in indiana. the bill gives business owners the right to deny service for religious reasons. miguel marquez with the latest. this is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial. these are not ordinary times -- >> reporter: in a closely watched decision, asa hutchinson rejecting a religious freedom bill that many saw as divisive. >> i ask that changes be made in the legislation. >> reporter: before the bill passed in the legislature, hutchinson said he planned to sign it. today he backtracked, asking state lawmakers to remake the bill to mirror existing federal

law. it's a move that could head off protests, concern the measure would allow companies to refuse service to gay and lesbian patrons. pressure on thoinch veto the bill came -- on hutchinson to veto the bill came from all sides. from hillary clinton, like i.n. law, a.r. bill goes beyond protecting the religion. to the ceo of walmart whose headquarters are in the state and warned the proposed law threat tones undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout arkansas and does not reflect the values we proudly uphold. hutchinson's decision comes as indiana's governor deals with the outcry over his own state's religious freedom law. >> was i expecting this kind of backlash? heavens no. >> reporter: he stood by the law's intent but says there was

a perception problem that set off days of protests. >> no hate in our state! >> reporter: he directed state lawmakers to offer their fix to the law by the end of this week. some applaud the law saying it's her right to support her beliefs. >> if a guy couple was to come in and wanted us to provide pizza as for a wedding, we would have to say no. >> reporter: memories pizza shut down because of threats. police did arrest a woman for threatening to burn down the business. they say they may open in the days ahead. they've actually started a fund for themselves. in the first thundershower raised over $15,000. and it looks like a deal here at the state capitol after many hours in the late night has been done. we should know the details of that deal later today. miguel marquez, cnn, indianapolis, indiana.

this morning, gunmen attacked a college campus in the town of garissa. >> local red cross officials just sent out a tweet saying at least 30 people have been taken to hospital. four of those people are seriously injured. a reporter for cnn affiliate ntv says there are between six and ten attackers involved. and police and military are still in a fire-fight with those gunmen. >> the u.s. embassy in nairobi responded to this attack with a tweet, as well. you see it here. >> it reads, "we are saddendand angered by -- saddened and angered by the terrorist attack at garissa university. our deepest condolences to the family/friends of victims. #cowardsneverwin." new pictures coming in. the first time we're seeing them with you out of the town of garissa. corroborates what we talked about earlier.

locals saying they saw ambulances coming to and from the university early this morning as this was unfolding. you see what appeared to be students there or at least people in the local community just watching all of this happen. you can imagine how frightened the young people were this morning when they were still sleeping as these gunmen stormed into the dormitory. >> yeah. terrifying situation at 5:30 in the morning. we understand the people who were there in the mosque were the firefighter hear of these gunshots, attackers. some of them saw them. they saw six to ten attackers dressed in military uniforms some sort. there's some suggestions that al shabaab militants may be behind this. they haven't claimed responsibility at this point. they have been responsible for attacks on garissa before and, of course, we know that there their beef with the government is that they've sent troops to somalia. we are keeping an eye on that. and of course as we mentioned,

these pictures coming in, showing the situation, we know from the kenya red cross. 30 people have been taken to hospital there. four people in serious condition. we understand, we are mostly talking about gunshot wounds here. >> and this is a tweet sent out by the red cross a short time ago with some of the latest information, you see there. at least 30 casualties taken to hospital. a majority of that because of those gunshot wounds. this is still developing at that hour as far as we know. this hasn't finished. if t's not ended for perhaps students at the university. certainly for the police and those militants still holed up there in a gun battle with police. if you look at the reaction to social media, some people look at this and say they're taking a page out of boko haram's book. they have continued to target the islamist group in nigeria. students and young people, the militants suspected to be behind this, possibly al shabaab, we're

not sure. possibly doing the same thing. it was only a few years ago, back in september, 2013, when we saw this horrific attack at the westgate shopping mall. that left 67 people dead. hundreds wounded. and the government was criticized for its response. there was a disagreement between the police and military. as kenyans watch, they will be frustrated once again that students, the future, young people were left vulnerable today. of course, it's still developing. we're looking for more information. >> left so exposed. we understand from various reports, one blogger who spoke to us talked about just two security guards at the front. there should be more. there are various reports about what may or may not have happened to these security guards. we don't want to go down any path of speculation. we want to confirm any facts that come in to us. there are a lot of various reports out there. we won't be putting anything to air until we get some confirmation of that.

this is, we're talking about the vulnerability of young people at the university that was supposed to be secure. supposed to be guarded. not sufficiently it appears. at this point, we know students are still inside the campus. garissa university college. and the fear that those students must be experiencing at this point is horrendous. of course, their parents, family, loved ones watching on as they're waiting to hear the situation there at this campus. we know military and police are on the scene. as we've been reporting to you. kenya red cross saying 30 people at this point have been taken to hospital. four of those in a serious condition. and we're mostly talking about gunshot wounds here. >> yeah. we'll continue to gather more information on what is still a developing and scary situation there at the garissa university. stay with us.
