2:02 am
sovereign and democratic state. that fact will never change. our forefathers bled and died for this nation and we will do everything to defend our way of life. >> as you can imagine, emotions remain high since the devastating attack. that may explain the unusual move authorities took with the bodies investigators say were involved in the rampage. they paraded them through the streets. david reports but we must warn you the image you are about to see are disturbing. >> reporter: a gruesome parade through the town. the images far too shocking to show unblurred. following a convoy now. the police have piled what they say are the terrorist bodies into the back of a truck. the whole town is coming out to see. the alleged gunman locked in an embrace, wrapped in an orange top driven to a primary school for viewing.
2:03 am
in the baking sun, the stench is overpowering. some in the crowd want more. you want them to be burned? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> because they are the ones that killed innocent children. >> reporter: perhaps they want to prove their killed the gunman or perhaps they just want to avenge the dead. they are driving the van next to the crowd so people can inspect the bodies. it is getting chaotic here. they skirt away those suspects of killing so many. now they evacuate the students who survived the terror, searching their bags for explosives, universities shut down. clinton says his girlfriend was murdered with six of her friends. he says the gunmen slit the throats of the men because they didn't want to waste their bullets. >> they were slaughtering. >> reporter: these students came
2:04 am
here to build a better life. now, they are leaving broken. their friends lost in brutal violence. their future is uncertain. cnn, kenya. >> for more on the story, we bring in soni for the latest on the attack. she joins us live from nairobi. you have been speaking to some of the survivors of the attack. what have they been telling you? >> reporter: a lot of anger. emotions are still very high here, not just from the survivors but from the kenyans. yesterday, members of the public from the area with a high population of somalis there. they took to the streets protesting the idea of creating a sectarian divide between muslims and christians and we expect more protests. there's also a demand by the opposition.
2:05 am
some members of the opposition for kenya to pull out defense forces. there's already exhaustion and impatience when it comes to the public. you can imagine how the families are feeling. yesterday, about ten buses left. more than 600 students and 15 members of staff who survived the attack were taken to their homes as some of them arrived here in nairobi. most parents were advised all the students will be brought here and some of them were disappointed because some buses left directly to their homes. as you notice, most of the students were from other parts of the country. we talked to a few people who are still struggling to find their loved ones. the last messages they had from them was on thursday for most. they say they haven't been able to contact them since they have looked through the list of those survived to the list of those in the hospital and the mortuary.
2:06 am
it was a very cold and wet night in nairobi. they have gone through such a long journey, more than five hours drive to nairobi. their bus broke down on the way. one student fainted. most of them were still in their bare minimums that they were wearing when the attack happened. they were happy to be reunited. one gentleman was waiting to be reunited with his loved one. one woman was very emotional. take a listen. >> translator: i came here at 6:00 a.m. this morning and i have been waiting. i have been waiting. i was holding out hope i would see my sister. i'm very excited. god loves me. i'm very excited. i don't even have words. very happy. >> with your friends, watching bullets. thank god i made it.

2:09 am
some think it didn't go far enough or include a call for political dialogue between the warring parties. saudi arabia recognizes the need for assistance but is pondering the russian request. >> the desire to provide assistance is something we share. the mechanism is something that will have to be discussed. >> reporter: western countries and jordan indicated they were not happy the proposal didn't put the blame on the houthis. >> we got to this position because the houthis, over and over again violated cease-fires, took military action, took action by force instead of engaging in a political way. the only way out is to return to genuine political talks on an equal basis, not using force. >> the president of the security counsel said perhaps earlier in
2:10 am
the week they might meet again to discuss russia's ideas. everybody shares the concern over what's happening on the ground. u.s. president barack obama addressed it in his weekly address. mr. obama has to sell the plan to the u.s. congress, which may be an up hill battle. he says it will make the world safer. take a listen. >> this framework is a result of tough, principal dpliplomacy. it's iran's program and cutting off every pathway iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. >> all sides have until june 30th to reach a comprehensive deal. you are watching cnn news room. still to come, france is changing the way we see cat

from self-proclaimed fashion capital of the world banned ultra thin models. violators could end up in jail. they voted to combat anorexia that affected 40,000 french people, most of them teenagers. models need to be above a certain body mass index, that hasn't been determined yet. anything below 18.5 is underweight. agencies that hire underweight models could be fined $82,000 and jailed for six months. like france does now, israel has a law against too thin fashion models. it went into effect in 2012. this video is from a reel on reel campaign behind a photographer who after years of shooting anorexic women became a crusader to save them. he had a model recovering from the disease die in his arms.
2:15 am
thank you very much, sir, for joining us and taking time this morning. let me get your reaction, first of all torks the move by france to ban ultra thin models. about time? >> i think it's the right time. i know they tried in 2007, yeah, 2007. the fashion industry didn't give them a hard time. they didn't succeed. i hope this time it's going to be. i didn't see one thing is very important. we are talking about the show. if you take a normal woman -- i didn't see nothing about the show. the second thing, i think paris is the center of the fashion industry. they have to understand, under the clothes, there is a person. it's not a piece of flesh. it's not a piece of meat. they have to fit the clothes to the woman, not the woman to the
2:16 am
clothes. if france is going to do it, i hope it's the beginning because it's epidemic all over europe and all over the world. >> explain to us the photo shop law as many see it. what exactly does it mean? >> this means you can't take a model that is less than 18.5 bmi. it's so skinny, 18.5. we used to shoot 20, 25 years ago. what happened. the second thing, using photo shop to cut size. we use it to change the body. it's unreal. when you take a normal woman and talking about a healthy woman and taking photo shop, you think nothing. now, you can see, you know, that children know they are going out from the house. everything about them is unreal. at least they know. everybody knows that what you see in the picture is real.
2:17 am
i want to be like the girl in the picture. now, everybody knows, it's unreal. you can see most of the companies use skinny girls, but they are not cutting size. the pictures coming to be very, very real. what happened, in the last two weeks with international start up, we showed the commercial. it's like the rabbits. most of the company, because it's coming from the client, want to see the real. they want to see the real thing. until now, it's unreal. you can see everything that cut another size, another size. they cap between two and three size. it's crazy. >> you managed to get the passage of this law. it took ten years to get that.
2:18 am
now, in the united states. how is that going so far? who are the decision makers you are trying to influence here? >> i see, you know, they start to do something. i think they have a problem. what we have in the beginning, you can't -- you can't -- you can't stop someone to work any job. >> freedom of occupation. >> freedom of occupation. they have to know, they are not letting me -- i'm using drags. they have to know that they are taking a girl and make them celebs. half of the woman how to look, to eat or not to eat. there's more they have to know. if someone is coming and she's going to be a model, she's going to be responsiblresponsible. to be responsible is to be real.
2:19 am
the difference between is coming every season like that. all the people in the media are using drags. they use everything. what is important is that the designer has to understand, there is a person under the clothes. if they understand, they are going to use a woman, not just a piece of flesh. that's what happened at fashion show and in the studio. they are using not model, they are using a boy in woman's clothes. >> he is a fashion photographer for us in tel-aviv, thank you for much. we wish you the best in the campaign. now, thousands of the faithful, the moment to remember. they are celebrating easter sunday mass with pope francis at this very hour. we'll take you live to vatican city. you are looking at live pictures, just ahead. ♪
