1:02 am
said they promise a long gruesome war. they're calling for justice in the past in the muslim community. they're calling for not just in somalia the control of troops but in places like kenya like move ba m mubasa. they say the our message will be written to you not with the word but the blood of your people. and they say it is our responsibility to take government into account of the action that's they're doing to the muslim community. added if they do not do, they will face blood. and basically paraphrase it, as long as your government persists
1:03 am
in its path of oppression, implements repressive policies and continues with the persecution, no amount of precaution or safety measures will guarantee your safety. thwart another attack or prepare for another bloodbath in your city. so this is a chilling message to the people, to the government of kenya. they're justifying their activities by the historical injustices in kenya but also by the presence of kenya presence in somalia. with rape, murder and killing of innocent muslims. >> yes, absolutely. warning of more bloodbaths in kenya. soni, how is the government reacting to this, what are they saying? >> reporter: i've yet to see a statement from the government directly reacting to al shabaab
1:04 am

1:06 am
little sleep, especially the families who have children there. relatives started arriving at dawn seeking whatever information they can get. >> they're very shocked. they're very concerned, certainly. they don't know whether their loved ones are here. whether they died for some of them. they're coming here because they tried to contact their children and they're not getting them or they're not hearing from them. therefore, they think something sinister must have happened to them. >> reporter: those who viewed the bodies said some victims had been beheaded. some shot in the back of the head. they told me most were young women. >> we will fight terror. not necessarily physically, because we have ability to do it but through information sharing and information passing. only then can are able to realize those missions.
1:07 am
>> reporter: 20 victims were brought here last night for their families to identify. today, a further 93 bodies were flown down from garissa. mo most people had to leave without identifying their relatives. for this man it was a long wait and a traumatic search for his brother. he still doesn't know what happened to him. >> since we had news on the radio and the televisions, i was worried, and at the next minute, to garissa to nairobi to look for him. i look for him at the international hospital. >> reporter: the red cross said postmortems will have to be held before the body, of the victims can be released to their families. but for some people, they still don't know if their loved ones are alive or dead.

1:10 am
they are happy to defend themselves for their life. >> reporter: just over there, that's the yemeni border post, riding along here with the border guards we didn't have to wear the flak jackets and the helmets. now, they say the situation has changed. it's a lot more dangerous. army tanks have been brought in to back them up. >> this is one of the units that belong to the army. it's supporting us in case of any -- >> reporter: it's very close to the line? >> yes. >> reporter: about half an hour to the border? >> yes. >> reporter: so they're very close. no sign here of impending ground force invasion. to the east in the mountains, one border guard has already been kill and several injured in a recent houthi attack. they will attack the two holy sites over here, that's dismissed as just talk.
1:11 am

1:34 am
program will disappear. >> based on the framework that we have attained last night. a thoughtless one has accepted enrichment of iran on its soil. so what they said, till yes in the past -- they said that enrichment is a threat for the region. but today, they have all accepted that enrichment -- the iranian fall is not a threat. >> for some people in iran, if you remember, took to the streets to celebrate the potential deal. but the u.s. congress may need more convincing, though. cnn's senior white house correspondent jim acosta has this part of the story. >> reporter: even as he was on the road, president obama was on the phone, dialing up nervous lawmakers who aren't sold on his nuclear deal with iran. the president's already tried and failed to convince his biggest critic israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu.

>> this deal would pose a grave danger to the region and to the world. and would threaten the very survival of the state of israel. >> reporter: netanyahu made that case to the president in another tense conversation between the two leaders that he's making an historic mistake. >> the deal would not shut down a single nuclear facility in iran. the deal will legitimize iran's nuclear program. >> reporter: meanwhile, republicans in congress are raising questions about the administration's talking points on the deal. that claim that iran would be required to grant access to international inspectors to investigate suspicious sites anywhere in the country. >> the administration believes that these verifications, these examinations, these basically rights to inspect is going to be sufficient -- i have real concerns about that. >> reporter: the white house is responding to the skeptics with a full court press with the president and vice president on down. pleading with members of congress to avoid passing
1:36 am
legislation as talks with the iranians continue. senate foreign relations chairman bob corker has a bill that would require congressional approval of the deal. while senators mark kirk and menendez have a solution to tougher sanctions on iran. >> i'm angry because prosecutors at the justice department don't know the difference between friendship and corruption. >> reporter: the white house argues those bills could back fire and drive iran to pull out of the talks as the u.s. and other world powers try to craft a final nuclear deal by june 30th. in that scenario, aides say, the u.s. will get the blame. >> our argument is for them that diplomacy is the best way to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons. >> reporter: the argument will be made to democrats. at least a dozen senators could support the corker bill that would give congress the final say on the nuclear deal.
1:37 am
that may be enough votes to override a presidential veto. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. now, we have brand-new pictures coming into cnn. an al qaeda member in yemen freed along with 200 others in a prison break last week. we've got new photos. his name is batarthi. he's one of the most wanted al qaeda leaders in the country. there's images coming into cnn just a few minutes ago. now, new evidence from the germanwings plane crash shows the co-pilot purposely sped up the plane's descent. investigators say that is based on the plane flight recorder which they found on thursday. pamela brown has more. >> reporter: well, this new
1:38 am
information gleaned from that newly found data flight recorder also bolsters what investigators are saying that andreas lubitz's actions in the final moments were voluntary, deliberative. >> reporter: investigators say information recovered from the charred da the da recorder shows the co-pilot andreas lubitz changed the setting multiple times. the first reading of the recorder shows lubitz used autopilot to engage the aircraft down to 800 feet. and also that lubitz tried to shut down the plane's alarms. >> it would have been fairly apparent to the passengers that something was wrong. that sense of speed building up. wind noise, would have given an indication that something was wrong, in addition to the descent. >> reporter: the german prosecutor said a tablet found in lubitz's apartment reveals he
1:39 am
made searches on suicide launches and cockpit doors and their launch. the findings bolsters investigators believe the crash was premeditated. and the pilot that flew with lubitz the day before the crash, he said he didn't suspect anything was wrong. >> it was probably planned on in particular flight. it sounds to me there was some urging with reference to the captain's lava tore usage on this one. >> reporter: inside, investigators also found personal memos with only a couple of words involving stress and his pilot license. that source said lubitz was prescribed medication for impression in the months leading up to the crash. the source said lubitz told at least one of his doctors he was afraid his medical issues could jeopardize his ability to fly.
1:40 am
a main working theory was that lubitz was afraid to lose his license because of his health issues. but investigators want to put all the pieces together. the information from the flight data recorder and any other evidence before they reach a final conclusion. pamela brown, cnn, dusseldorf, germany. now, six survivors of the deadly hostage siege of the french media outlets put their lives in danger. they accuse the affiliate of dangerous live reporting during the january hostage situation. they say their location inside a cold room was broadcast when they hid from the gunman if you remember, he was killed in the police operation that ended that siege. now, in myanmar, the opposition leader suu kyi said the president is sincere about the upcoming election.
1:41 am
after 50 years of brutal military war. suu kyi who was a political prisoner said it may not take part if it isn't change. into we don't thing that boycotting is the best choice. but we're not ruling it out altogether. we're leaving our options open. when you consider the fact that they're not interested in negotiations or amending the constitution or thinking of the will of the people, then how do you describe you can hardly say that they're martyrs. >> now suu kyi also said that u.s. praise for myanmar's government has made the country complacent about reform. still to come here on cnn,

1:45 am
be finding a place to stay. the vacation website airbnb is expanding. airbnb is an internet based company, something that is limited in cuba. cnn spoke to one of the co-founders of the tech company about the new venture. >> in december, when med obama announced that the restrictions were going to be relaxed. we actually saw a 70% increase on searches on airbnb for cuba. it makes sense, cuba has been off limits to the majority of americans and yet a close neighbor for the country. >> for all intents and purposes, these sanctions of the united states on cuba are still very much in place. so how are you going to pay the host? collecting payment should be easy from americans? but how are you actually going to get the money into hands of cubans?
1:46 am
>> well, we've been working very closely with the the u.s. treasury department to make sure that we're following all the rules that are still in place because there are quite a few restrictions still in place. that being said, the remittance of the money, there are a number of third parties that we're working through. in most cases, the cubans will be paid via cash through a local intermediary. >> obviously, airbnb thinks that there's growth potential here or your business would not bother trying this. but how much growth do you really see in a place like cuba, where there has been some change now since december, but not mitch change, really in terms of sanctions being lifted. so do you see the growth as low, medium, large? how do you quantify this growth potential? >> i think there's a lot of potential. one. it's been off-limits for the last 50 years. i think there's a lot of pent-up interest to explore cuban
1:47 am
culture. if you look at the proximity, where americans travel, they don't necessarily go very far. they go to canada, mexico or the caribbean. cuba is in that sweet spot where i think a lot of americans would like to venture. now a new york detective is facing criticism after caught on video berating a new york driver. new york police commissioner bill bratton calls that behavior unacceptable. sandy kaye talks to see if what he did in fact was illegal. >> do you understand me? >> reporter: you're watching a nasty exchange in new york city's west village. the man in the video say uber driver who honked his horn to a detective who was attempting to park this unmarked car without a signal. >> now stop it with your mouth
