a police officer facing a murder charge after shooting a man in the back. the video, the circumstances, and the reaction coming up. the battle for control in yemen intensifies with new pledge from the u.s. and saudi arabia. and the suspected state-sponsored culprit behind a cyberattack on the white house. hello, everyone. i'm errol barnett with you for the next two hours. a big welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world.

this is "cnn newsroom." in the wake of several controversial deaths involving white police officers and black suspects, one officer in the u.s. state of south carolina is now facing murder charges after shooting an apparently unarmed man during a traffic stop. cnn's ed lavandera has the latest on the charges and what the victim's family is saying. >> reporter: when the video starts, walter scott is turning and running away from the officer. [ gunshots ] >> reporter: eight shots and four seconds later, the 50-year-old man falls to the ground at least 25 feet away, pronounced dead at the scene later. as scott's body lays on the ground, the officer is heard yelling, "put your arms behind your back." immediately after the deadly shooting this past saturday in the south carolina town of north charleston, officer michael slegr said there was a scuffle

over his taser and felt threatened. another officer says in a report, officer slegr advised he deploy his taser and request for backup units. seconds later, the officer said slegr said over the radio, "shots fired, and the subject is down. he took my taser." at the beginning of the video, you see two objects fall to the ground around the officer. it's not clear if this is part of his taser. officer slageg goes to the spot and picks the object up. later he you see what he drops what could be the taser next to walter scott's body. moments later the officer picks up what he earlier dropped to the ground. michael slager has been charged with murder by the south carolina state law enforcement division. a five-year veteran of the department. his lawyer telling media after the shooting that the officer believed he followed all the proper procedures of the north charleston police department. that lawyer now no longer represents the officer. north charleston's mayor says officer slagger made a bad

decision. >> when you're wrong, you're wrong. and if you make a bad decision, don't compare it you're behind the shield or just a citizen on the street, you have to live by that decision. and so we as a city want the family to know that our hearts and our thoughts with them. >> reporter: north charleston police also say that after the shooting, police officers provided cpr and first tide walter scott, but several minutes pass on this video, and no officers are seen providing first aid, even as ambulance sirens are heard in the distance. [ sirens ] >> reporter: even officer slager's boss, the police chief, says the investigation is revealing. >> we are obligated to do what the law dictates if the investigation so revealed that.

and it appears that through this videotape, that's where it -- that's where it fell. >> reporter: tuesday night, wallster scott's family reacted -- walter scott's family reacted to the news that the officer had been charged with murder. >> we can't get my brother back, and my family is in deep mourning for that. but through the process of justice has been served, and i don't think that all police officers are bad cops. but there are some bad ones out there. and i don't want to see anyone get shot down the way that my brother got shot down. we've all seen the video. if there wasn't a video, would we know the truth? or would we have just gone with what was reported earlier? we do know the truth now. >> reporter: we've received dozens of pages of officer slager's personnel records with the north charleston police department. in it, it shows that his bosses considered him to be a good

police officer, that he consistently "met expectations on the job." there was one incident dating back to september of 2013, where he was accused of using excessive force, improperly tasing a potential suspect. he was exonerated in the case. but several witnesses said that he had used excessive force and had tased the wrong suspect. those are some of the documents that we found in his personnel file. cnn, dallas. coming up in our next half-hour, i'll be speaking with a private investigator and security specialist to get his reaction to the shooting and the immediate murder charges. we'll also talk about this ongoing issue of race and police culture in the u.s. please stay tuned for that. america's role in the saudi-led air strike against houthi flebls yemen is expanding. it is now expediting weapons deliveries and increasing intelligence sharing. officials tell cnn it's even clearing the way for better targeting of those air strikes

to help avoid civilian casualties. our nic robertson has more on that and the latest air strikes. joins us live from saudi arabia. this is close to the country's border with yemen. and air strikes killing civilian -- >> reporter: i think what we're hearing from u.s. officials now is the strongest indicator we have so far at least that this air campaign, there saudi coalition-led air campaign, is going to continue. yesterday, there were strikes that hit close it a school and hit a school. the children were coming out on lunch break. the target was a military base nearby. however, three children were killed. six wounded. we also understand that around aden overnight the previous night, there have been strong strikes against houthi positions there. and there was a decrease in the fighting in aden as a result. there were some gains and some mistakes. what we heard from the deputy secretary of state in a visit here is a very strong indication that the united states is going

to stand behind saudi arabia, and even help it expand and improve these coalition, these saudi-led coalition air strikes. this is what he said. >> saudi arabia's sending a strong message to the houthis and their allies that they cannot overrun yemen by force. in support of that effort, we have expedited weapons deliveries, increased our intelligence sharing, and we've established a joint coordination and planning cell in the saudi operations center. >> reporter: an important air strip was taken yesterday by forces loyal, if you will, to or supporting the current president hadi, supporting the saudis. that was at the air base formerly used by u.s. and british special forces targeting al qaeda in the country. so some gains being made as a result of these air strikes. >> if you can hear me, do you

know when any of the aid might reach the people who need it? >> reporter: well, the international committee for the red cross say they believe they have clearance for at least one plane to land today, possibly more. saudi officials say they have cleared permission for a red cross aid ship, as well, to come in to port in yemen. an aid sdrefl dock in the port in aden yesterday bringing in much-needed houston supplies. what we're hearing from doctors without borders, msf, there in aden running some of the hospitals, they say they desperately need more medical equipment, more medical staff, and the international committee for the red cross, one of the aircraft they're sending has an 11-member medical team on board including surgical specialists. errol? >> good news to hear in a country that really is falling apart. nic robertson live for us at the saudi/yemeni border.

now u.s. intelligence agencies are investigating what they say is a breach of white house computers by russian hackers. it's being called one of the most sophisticated cyber-attacks ever launched against u.s. government systems. u.s. officials have known about the breach since october and had earlier said it did not affect any classified systems. as cnn's evan perez tells us now, it appear the hackers did expose sensitive information. >> reporter: russian hackers in recent months broke in to sensitive parts of the white house e-mail system. they could even see parts of the president's schedule not disclosed to the public in real time. the hackers are believed to be working for the russian government. according to u.s. officials, they pulled off one of the most serious cyber-breaches of u.s. government agencies. this preach is one reason why u.s. intelligence officials recently increased warnings about the cyber-threat from russia. the white house disclosed suspicious activity in its unclassified e-mail systems in

october. officials say even unclassified emails contain sensitive information valuable to foreign spies. the hackers got in first by breaking into the state department's e-mail servers. then they tricked someone into giving them access to the system serving the executive office of the president. federal agencies are now warning employees to be ware of so-called fishing emails. these appear to come from trustworthy e-mail accounts but actually contain malicious software which gives hackers the ability to take over their computers. evan perez, cnn, washington. now kenya where the country's foreign minister is asking the u.s. and other nations for more help with intelligence and security measures following last week's terror attack on a university. hundreds of mourners held a vigil tuesday to remember the 147 people murdered by al shabaab militants. david mckenzie was there and joins us now live from nairobi. probably one of the most painful

aspects of last week's tragedy is that intelligence did exist, the kenyan government had access to that pointed to a threat at garissa university. this is a time when i know many people are just mourning the victims and the massive loss from that attack. >> reporter: that's right. i think you raise a very good point. people are both sad and angry because our reporting suggests or our reporting has found that the students were so afraid, some of them, that they had even, you know, planned how to escape should there be attack. we're getting from police sources that there was specific, actionable intelligence that an attack might happen at the garissa university in the days before this attack unfolded. so christians are being asked good whether enough was being done. yes, this is a time for mourning, for sadness. people gathered here in nairobi in the park. they put down crosses, each cross representing a person saying that this is not just a

number, not just 147. these are people with aspirations, with hopes who went to university to try to build a better life for themselves and their families and were so brutally cut down in terror. i spoke to many on the scene. particularly poignant is a woman i spoke to who herself had survived a grenade attack. >> i feel loss, extreme loss that we can't afford -- we shouldn't, you know, honestly, i feel almost speechless because these are lives cut short. in kenya, many university students are their family's only future. >> reporter: certainly the prime person to blame or people to blame is of course the terrorist, the gunmen, the mastermind of the attack had deep connections to kenya. and planned incursions in to kenya to carry out these kind of

attacks. still, people here feeling enough is enough with the insecurity on especially the border regions of kenya. errol? >> al shabaab's strategy appears to create a divide between muslims and christians especially in garissa but, of course, elsewhere. in the wake of this attack, do you get the sense that the opposite is happening? i mean, in kenya, you have people of different faiths living peacefully side by side for many years. >> reporter: that's right. kenya does have its issues with ethnic tension and religious tension, like many different countries. there's a sense after the attack that people are pulling together, of course, and saying particularly because these were innocent students whose aim was to build a better kenya, and they had gone to garissa to just carry out their studies, that's it. this is as soft a target as it can get. you know, surely there's very little sympathy for al shabaab

even amongst those who some years ago might have felt they had a point in somalia. now the support has drained away by the vast majority of canadianians. there's a small hard core group that's been recruited from kenya, that poses a major problem for the kenyan government to try to stamp out the reasons why people go to these extremist groups. that's not just a problem for kenya, that's a problem we've seen across the world with recruiting to isis. so there's a really difficult scenario for the kenyan government now for them to try and beef up security. frankly to try to fix those operational issues that might have led more people to die in this attack. >> certainly. david mckenziey, live out of nairobi, a quarter past 9:00 in the morning there. thanks. the 2016 presidential race in the u.s. is building momentum and adding candidates. the latest republican to throw in his hat is rand paul. the senator from kentucky is a

favorite of the conservative tea party. he's calling for libertarian policies, essentially small government and a limited role for the u.s. in global affairs. >> i have a vision for america. i want to be part of a return to prosperity. a true economic fwhoom lifts all americans. a return to a government restrained by the constitution. [ cheers ] >> and if rand paul's name rings a bell, that's because of his father, ron paul, who ran unsuccessfully for president three times. in the u.s. state of missouri, two more african-americans were elected to the ferguson city council on tuesday. previously only one of the sick council members was black. it was the first city election since a white officer fatally shot an unarmed black teen last august. the city itself is 70% black. all eyes are on the u.s. state of massachusetts as the outcome of two major court cases

now rest in the hands of a jury. details on this coming up. plus, as instability raines in much of afghanistan, we'll look at how the remaining u.s. troops are bearing these days. i care deeply about the gulf. i grew up in louisiana. i went to school here. i've been with bp ever since. today, i lead a team that sets our global safety standards. after the spill we made two commitments. to help the gulf recover and become a safer company. we've worked hard to honor both. bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment. and five years of research shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. we've toughened safety standards too. including enhanced training... and 24/7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. and everyone has the power to stop a job at any time

if they consider it unsafe. what happened here five years ago changed us. i'm proud of the progress we've made both in the gulf and inside bp. but for people with copd, the world is filled with air. sometimes breathing air can be difficult. if you have copd, ask your doctor about once-daily anoro ellipta. it helps people with copd breathe better for a full 24hours. anoro ellipta is the first fda-approved product containing two long-acting bronchodilators in one inhaler. anoro is not for asthma. anoro contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day.

air travel across europe could be messy for the next two days. take efficient you have a flight planned in to or out of this region. fran's largest air traffic control union announced they will go on strike today and tomorrow. the strike is part of a long running dispute over work conditions. hundreds of flights have already been canceled due to that strike. juries in massachusetts are now weighing two high-profile cases. the panel in the boston marathon bombing trial deliberated for more than seven hours on tuesday without reaching a verdict. they'll continue again just hours from now. 21-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev is accused of 30 counts and faces life in prison or the death penalty. jurors meantime in the aaron hernandez trial are trying to decide whether or not the former nfl star is guilty of murdering

his friend, odin lloyd. on tuesday, the prosecution and defense stressed the importance of evidence and lack of evidence in this case. >> i'm asking you to look at the evidence. the evidence tells the story of what happened. circumstantial evidence, yes, there were no eyewitnesses. there was other evidence, strong evidence that should convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed that crime. >> if there was evidence of any reason that aaron had to murder odin lloyd, don't you think you would have heard about it? in nine weeks? you didn't hear it. you didn't hear it because it doesn't exist. >> legal analyst danny savalos from new york to talk about this. we saw the prosecution saying

the circumstantial evidence is enough to prove aaron hernandez is a murderer. the defense has done its best to unravel all of that evidence. as an outsider, i would stay doesn't look good. where do you think this will if? >> reporter: first you see the prosecutor focusing on the strength strengt strengths and explaining that contrary to popular belief, circumstantial evidence can even be stronger than direct evidence. he is hammer that home. on the defense, it's interesting. you hear the defense focusing on motive. that may be their strongest argument. what was the motive to hurt the deceased person, the victim here. but what's interesting is that motive is not an element of any crime. it just happens that motive can be evidence of intent. where you don't have motive, many lawyers find it effective to argue to the jury why would somebody do this. what's interesting is that that is not an element of any of the

crimes charged. >> where do you think this will if? >> reporter: we see the defense doing something surprise you but something in a way that was expected. they're finally acknowledging, yes, the defendant was there instead of saying the defendant is innocent. now that moves from a whodunit. it shifts into a more familiar criminal element which is whenever you have multiple guy involved in a crime, they all point the finger at each other. it happens every day in criminal courthouses across the nation. a very common defense. i was there, i had no idea there was a gun, i had no idea this was going to happen. however, of the evidence shows that hernandez was much more involved than just an innocent bystand bystander. >> that seems to be more apparent week on week.

i opt to talk about -- i want to talk about the boston marathon trial. the jury set to decide the fate of dzhokhar tsarnaev. 30 counts, 17 that carry life in prison or death. what this will come down to, do you think? >> many have observed that this skies about the penalty phase -- this case is about the penalty phase. whether or not the defendant will get the death penalty by the same jury. in that sense, many people with looking already beyond the liability phase because the defense has in many ways conceded the defendant's involvement. but this case is critically important, the defense has to be strategic, and they have been brilliantly strategic in building that case during the first liability phase. would be very inconsistent to argue someone else did this horrible deed, then when the defendant is convicted, argue to the jury, okay, well, he did it, but here's why he's a sensitive and impressionable young man.

you see there's a lot of strategy in federal capital cases, and that's why the defense here has done a very strateg strategic, very excellent job. >> danny savalos earlier. a white police officer charged in a black man's death. coming up, the latest from south carolina and analysis on a disturbing trend. plus, how u.s. troops are faring in afghanistan's unstable environment. cnn crews are there and will have an update from near gentleman loophole bad. 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.

you're watching "cnn newsroom." thanks for staying with me. i'm errol barnett. a white police officer in south carolina has been charged with murder in saturday's shooting death of an apparently unarmed black man. the charge comes after a bystander's video surfaced. it shows the officer firing at the suspect eight times as he was running away. u.s. officials say hackers working for the russian government accessed sensitive information by breaking into the white house computer system. it includes nonpublic details of the president's schedule. the white house had said earlier last year's breach was only affected an unclassified system. the u.s. is speeding up aid to the saudi-led coalition. a school was hit by air strikes metropolitan for a nearby base.

the man killed in the shooting was 50-year-old walter scott. this bystander's video we're about to show you reveals what happened when he died. of course, it is graphic, it is disturbing to see. you see a brief struggle. [ gunshots ] >> then, officer michael slager -- you hear it there -- fires eight shots as scott runs. slager says he was in fear for his life. >> shots fired. subject is down. he grabbed my taser. >> scott's brother spoke out tuesday after officer slager was charged with murder. here's what he said -- >> we've all seen the video. if there wasn't a video, would we know the truth? or would we have just gone with what was reported earlier? we do know the truth now. i ask that everyone ton pray for my family, that we get through this because we do need prayer.

>> joining us is rashid abdul salaam, private investigator and security specialist. i should welcome you back to "cnn newsroom" because we discussed these issue in december in the wake of the michael brown and eric garner deaths at the hands of police. what was your reaction seeing walter scott being shot in the back eight times by this police officer? >> i was horrified and moved to tears. it's impactful to a person of my experience and the time i've been in this type of profession to see this. it was horrific. >> the video and way it unfolded was almost completely opposite to what the officer said happened. we've seen this many times. the police say they are in fear for their life. they are armed and have the jurisdiction to decide whether to use deadly force. what does this expose about the realty of the -- reality of the

way that police react to especially african-americans around the country? >> it exposes a culture that exists in these police agencies. also exposes that when these situations happen to black men and the black community that responds to it, we're not delusional. these things happen. but it is a -- an existing police culture within a culture that we see these things happening over and over again. these responses that these officers have is almost as if it's scripted. >> reporter: in saying that -- >> i was in fear of my life. he wrestled with me for my weapon. these sort of things. in this particular situation, we see in the video where the officer after having killed this man, going back to the spot where the initial encounter occurred, picking up what appeared to be a taser, and i think the evidence will pan out that it was, in fact, his taser. walking over to the man's body, and dropping it by his body.

this is just -- it's -- just very disturbing. >> you said seeing the video made you tear up. it's shocking to watch. >> yes. >> are things changing in the u.s.? we have local elections in ferguson, missouri where there are more black candidates than ever before. people stepping up, saying they want changes. there's been attempts to mend relationships between police departments and local community. we saw as soon as this video emerged, this officer charged with murder. it seems as though swift action is being taken. are trends changing in the u.s., or what does it take for them to sdmanchlg>> the trends are changing, but in the interim of the change, the acts are still occurring. nothing was more motivational or encouraging than the comments that the director of the fbi, director comey made, where he addressed law enforcement

officers that they need to look within themselves and to suppress and get rid of attitudes of cynicism as it relates to black males and that these type of scenarios and situations and prejudices exist. and then this coming from the director at the fbi is very significant because who in the nation amidst law enforcement is going contradict the top cop in the nation? >> a very good point. private investigator and security specialist, thanks for coming by. i hope we can see you again under much better circumstances. >> thank you. my pleasure. and a quick reminder here that we have more details and background on this incident and similar shootings. there are way too many on our website, cnn.com. now afghanistan where u.s. troops are away from the front lines and confined to three bases trying to support afghan's

army. nick paton walsh has a look at how the american efforts are faring in what is an unstable environment. >> reporter: this is how it ends here, no helicopter evacuation from an embassy roof. instead, blackhawks bouncing officers around a handful of multimillion dollar bases far from the front lines. and a race to ready the afghans to go it alone before the u.s. leaves late next year. the supply center for police is meant to supply unifoams and even ammunition to the whole east. it's far from main roads with bad cell phone coverage. doors don't have handles, afghans tell us water and electricity have problems, ask who will maintain it. finished four months ago, it so far hasn't supplied anyone. the cost, $21 million.

about 50 afghans living here. it's going to be difficult, isn't it, to get this done under the clock you're working under? >> it's a challenge, no doubt. it is going to be a challenge to get all of those hubs and spokes and logistics and sustainment to maintenance, supplies, resupply recovisi reco-- reacquisition. much of this didn't exist in november. >> reporter: this has left afghanistan indelibly changed. some of their police die in old humvees. it is rare now for americans to drive around here. flying over valleys where they once faced the taliban who are now vying with isis for young angry recruit. this war is barely recognizable. the main threat here, now rogue afghans opening fire on foreigners. we were surrounded at all times by a security detail.

this is about as close to the front line as these american troops will get here in afghanistan. they are on guard against insider attacks here in an afghan police base. their job now, to train, combat over. the afghan military is marching to stand still. recent figures suggest one in ten of these new graduates will desert in the coming year. barack obama has slowed america's departure but only a fraction. drones and special forces will fight on unseen. but to the leaders of power in what was once called the graveyard of empires, america will let go. nick paton walsh, cnn, near jalalabad. still to come on "cnn newsroom," finally vindicated. that's how a prominent lawyer feels after a judge reject lurid accusations against him. this story after the break.

welcome back. a federal judge in florida has tossed out bombshell allegations that britain's britains andrew had sex with minors. the prince was named in a federal court filing as one of the people who used the help of self-made billionaire jeffrey epstein to have sex with teenage girls. prominent american lawyer alan dershowitz was also named and accused of the same. both had issued vehement denials. the judge ruled tuesday that the allegations be removed from the court record. buckingham palace released a statement saying the duke of york has been informed of development, and further details will be announced in due course. earlier, i spoke with alan dershowitz who says the judge made the right decision. >> i feel fully vindicated legally. it's as if the charges have never been brought because the

judge struck them all and said they'd never -- they never, ever should have been included in these pleadings. but you can't unring a bell. so i need to be vindicated factually, as well. this woman simply made the story up out of cloth. i never met her. i don't know her. i've never touched her. totally, totally made up. i'm pursuing my remedies. i am suing the lawyers and perhaps will be suing her, as well, for defamation. she's been hiding, trying to avoid getting served. we found her hiding in colorado and served her. now she will have to be deposed. if she repeats in a deposition under oath what she has said, she will go to prison because she will have committed perjury which we can then prove beyond a reasonable doubt. >> we should note the alleged victims claimed you had sex with them while they were underage. that it was part some scheme and ring connected with your friend jeffrey epstein. why do you think this all even

came to be? you know, jeffrey epstein, a friend of yours and investment banker, he pleaded guilty to state charges of prostitution, solicitation years ago. but why do you think the alleged victims here wanted more? why did they make this up? >> reporter: nobody can be sure of that. i can tell you i knew jeffrey epstein as an academic friend along with the president of harvard, the provost of harvard, the developer of the genome, the inventor of artificial intelligence. we were all academic friends. none of us had any idea about these allegations. i never, ever saw a young woman in the presence of jeffrey epstein, nor was i ever in the presence of any underage young women in any context. why they picked on me and prince andrew and several other people i don't know. this is a woman who's claimed to have had relationships with bill clinton and al gore and two prime ministers and presidents and the majority leader of the senate. and you name it.

steven hawkings and other professors -- >> let me jump in then. i mean, it seems as if whoever the alleged victims are, they seem troubled. you are going to pursue the legal recourse. what do you expect to get out of that even if the individual goes to jail, what tell do? >> it will do a great deal. real rape victims are the victims of this woman and others like her. when you get made-up story, it hurt the cases of real victims. it's sthaeshl people who make up stories of -- essential that people who make up stories of sexual abuse be punished. >> he said his accuser was in it just for the money and hopes legal action will stop her from making false allegations in the future. a former white house employee -- former white house employees are breaking their silence and dishing on past presidents and first ladies. we'll bring you some of those juicy details after this short break.
