5:00 pm
thank you for joining us. hope you'll catch more of our show on cnn international this weekend. "ac360" starts now. hey, good evening. thanks for joining us tonight. breaking news. he posted on facebook that he wanted to wage jihad. now a kansas man is in custody, accused of trying to make it happen allegedly planning a suicide attack on american soldiers here in the united states on behalf of isis. also tonight, major damage from
5:01 pm
a massive tornado. we'll take you where it struck and meet a man who watched his home but never stopped trying to help others. viewing in the south carolina police shooting. what a second dash cam video reveals. busy night ahead. the man authorities say was plotting a suicide attack on ft. riley, kansas the home of the infantry division. john t. booker jr. and more on alleged aspirations for isis, joined by justice correspondent evan perez. what's the latest? >> well john t. booker also goes by the name mohammed abdullah hasan and today i understand he was arrested by the fbi as he was preparing to carry out what they say was a suicide bombing at ft. riley. he never had any explosions. this was actually a sting operation that was orchestrated by the fbi and a couple of informants who helped him obtain what he thought were explosives that of course never actually happened. they wanted to see if he would
5:02 pm
actually go through with that and that's why they took him all the way up to the back entrance of the base at ft. riley, kansas, before arrested him today. >> i understand it was couple of his facebook posts that prompted a tip to the fbi? >> that's right. he actually tried to join he enlisted in the army last year and in between that time and the time he was supposed to show up in april for basic training the fbi found a couple of facebook posts which were really alarming and went to interview him. i'll read you a couple of them. one of them says i will soon be leaving forever, so good-bye. i'm going to wage jihad and hopes that i die. a second one said getting ready to be killed in jihad is a huge adrenaline rush and talks a lot about how he wanted to emulate nidal hasan who carried out the 2009 terrorist attack at ft. hood that killed 13 people anderson that's what he wanted to do even after talking to the fbi, he still fell for this
5:03 pm
sting operation and talked to these informants to plot this attack according to the fbi. >> evan perez, appreciate it. now the storms that have taken at least two lives and the one massive tornado that devastated a close knit town in rural, illinois two counties in the state now, disaster areas. that tornado had wind speeds ranging between 166 and 200 miles an hour according to the latest national weather service estimate. now take a look at what it looked like up close. >> the first and biggest tornado i've ever seen. >> and if you look closely, you can see huge pieces of debris flown around like confetti flashing and exploding torn into pieces and flung into the air. the force of the storm was also enough to blow a tractor trailer
5:04 pm
off the highway. look at that on to its side near the town of rochelle. as bad as that looks, it's nothing compared to what the funnel cloud did to the town of fairdale. gary tuchman reports tonight. >> i don't know what's going to happen. >> reporter: joe and sarah ben bennadeto moved to the dream farmhouse and barn in fairdale illinois. their cars and rv all of it now destroyed. when you saw the tornado coming from this direction, it was heading right to your house. >> yes. >> reporter: and you're thinking what? >> i'm thinking my house is going to be gone. >> reporter: inside their house, a never before used tornado shelter where they rushed as the twister approached. the sons take the inside. >> to the shelter. tiny where the whole family was when the tornado hit. >> reporter: was it scary being here not knowing what was going on? >> we couldn't hear anything so we didn't know what was going on. that was the scariest part. >> reporter: relatively
5:05 pm
nonchalant. >> i was okay until i saw them running in total panic because then i knew if they're panicking, we're screwed. >> reporter: they stayed in the shelter not knowing what to expect. when they climbed up the basement stairs -- >> we came out the front door there and we couldn't believe it. we just it looked like a war zone. >> reporter: they saw their farm right away but quickly walked around the house and couldn't believe their home only a short distance from the barn had relatively minor damage. to give you an idea of the power of this tornado, take a look at this. a branch that has gone through the house like a bullet. as we go inside the kitchen here and you'll see the other end of it. it almost looks like a javelin came through and the family's already written on it in memory of tornado, april 9th 2015. farther down the street other homeowners in fairdale much unluckier. devastation after old-timers say it's the most powerful tornado
5:06 pm
they've ever seen here. fairdale illinois, is a tieny community. only about 150 people live here and a quarter square mile. a disaster like this affects everybody here. >> do you need a hug? >> reporter: not far away people from all over help to come a family who suffered heavy damage at their farmhouse and barn. >> if somebody's in need, boy, everybody shows up and that's the great thing about farm communities. >> reporter: they said they were just about to insure their barn but hadn't done so. however, they take it in stride. >> this is a st. joseph's statue and it's supposed to protect the home. >> reporter: take it in stride because they were not hurt. >> gary tuchman joins us now. did people get any warnings the tornado was coming? >> reporter: well, this small town of fairdale anderson does not have a tornado siren warning system but some of the neighboring towns do so people here say they heard the sirens on the other towns about 15 minutes before and that was some
5:07 pm
good warning for them. in addition people on their cell phones got messages. the messages read "warning, warning, take cover now, tornado" and that was also for important for people who lived here. behind me anderson you can see the devastation. it's an incredible story you see the blue car there? the man within the car when the tornado destroyed his car, he survived. he's okay today. what we can tell you is the great sadness in this area within a mile radius of where i'm standing two women were found and they died from their injuries. i'll tell you, that's desperately sad but last night when we heard about how strong this tornado was, we were very fearful that the death toll would be much higher. >> look at that damage. gary tuchman, thank you. joining us now is leo kordat spent hour after hour helping his neighbors. he and others dug through wreckage and rubble moving walls to rescue people. he joins us now.
5:08 pm
leo, i'm so sorry for everything you've had to go through over the last 24 hours. when the tornado hit where you were what was it like? >> it was, the winds were horrible. it looked like a giant wall coming before we even really realized that it was a tornado. >> i understand as you saw it coming toward you, you shouted for your mom and nephew to get into the basement. >> correct. i told them to run into the basement because it was, the tornado was coming and as they ran in i followed behind as other neighbors ran in also. we took shelter down in the basement as my family got to the basement i checked for the cats and could not find them. so i proceeded into the basement as i opened the door to the back of the house, it was as if somebody had had a giant vacuum
5:09 pm
cleaner and was trying to suck the air out. took my breath away and i slammed the door took off down into the basement. >> it really took your breath away. i mean you're talking literally. >> yes. literally, i couldn't catch my breath as the tornado got closer and closer. and you could start to see the debris flying everywhere and i knew i had to get downstairs to shelter. >> and when it was over and you were finally out of the basement what did you see? >> as i came out of the basement and to the kitchen, all i could do was yell down to my two nephews and my mom and told them not to come up. that it's a horrible scene, and as i knew that they were okay i proceeded to go out of the front of the house to check on the neighborhood and as i came out with my neighbors, we could hear all of our neighbors and friends
5:10 pm
screaming for help. and natural instingtct was to help everyone noeing my loved ones were okay. need to help the friends and the neighborhood. >> how are your friends or family? i know two people were lost. >> correct. as far as i know who i talked to in the neighborhood everybody is doing well. we're all mourning over the loss of two brave people. but we're all being strong and keeping our prayers up. and thanks to the fire department local police and all the people that has donated to make all this possible for all of us we're all grateful and very well blessed. >> well it's just remarkable i mean that there weren't more casualties and that's something to be grateful for as you mourn the loss of two people a lot of
5:11 pm
the people in the community know. and for your neighbors, i know you were trying to help others when so much destruction took place in your own life. leo, thank you for being with us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> leo cardot. thank you, want to wish everybody in that community our best and our thoughts and prayers are with them. breaking news in south carolina. the police shooting including what to make of a new dash cam video showing the scene and later, we learned hillary clinton is about to announce she's running again for president. we have new polling on whether democrats think she needs the competition. more one angle when we continue. ergy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security.

breaking news tonight out of north charleston south carolina involving the passenger who was with walter scott during the traffic stop that ended with mr. scott on the ground with five police bullet wounds in his back and head. exactly one week after officer michael slager fired those shots, eight in all at scott. the video caught by feidin santana who happened to be nearby. mr. slager is in jail on murder charges but the local jury may take up the case next month just the latest in a chain of events many simply don't believe would have happened had this video not existed. that said the video doesn't answer all questions including why he ran and who the passenger was. also another angle to the
5:16 pm
shooting scene. aftermath caught on the north charleston squad car. a brief glimpse, we've slowed it down. appears to show the police on the right standing over something. we don't know exactly what. martin savidge with more from north charleston on today's developments. you've been investigating the car with the passenger with walter scott. what have you learned? >> reporter: this mystery passenger is to key to the investigation because he's seated right beside walter scott before the man takes off and runs so he would know possibly what scott was thinking what he was fearful of. the authorities and i'm talking about the state authorities apparently announced they interviewed the mystery passenger today. they wouldn't say what was discussed. it's clear they're talking about the investigation and they say the mystery passenger doesn't want to be identified in any way. once he gave his testimony, he's free to go not charged with everything. family of scott say they don't
5:17 pm
know who he is. somebody suggested it was a person who scott worked with. we went to where scott used to work talked to supervisors and say, nope it was no one from there. it's truly a mystery. the family wants to know but this person appears to have disappeared. >> most attorneys said it doesn't matter ultimately why he ran but what happened from the time the taser that mr. scott was tasered and from the time he was found dead on the ground with police officer, perhaps planting something nearby him. i understand you have some new information on officer slager today and also on walter scott the day before he died. >> reporter: a couple of interesting things. you know we were talking with the local sheriff. he's in charge of the dissension center where former officer slager is being held. i said is he in isolation? he said definitely. anybody in law enforcement ends up on the wrong side of the law potentially a target on the inside of the wall. so he is isolated from the general population. i said what about a suicide
5:18 pm
watch? they said no. we don't really call it that. what they are monitoring is mental well being and guards are circulating past the cell more frequently. >> as to scott, it looked like life was turning around for him. unemployed for a long time but the supervisors temporarily working said they liked him and he possibly was going to get a permanent job. on top of that he gets this new car. not new but new to him and in fact the supervisors said he showed up last friday proud of it. gave people a ride but you get the sense that life was finally turning for him. unfortunately that was the day before he died. >> i want to go back to the dash cam video. walter scott actually opens his door and holds something in his right hand for the officer before being told by officer slager to get back into his car. do we know what that was? >> reporter: yeah. that struck me too. i looked at that and said what is going on here? i talked to the attorneys and they believe he found something the officer had requested.
5:19 pm
the officer had already retreated back to his car. so like any of us we might be nervous so oh i forgot and seems to get out of the car, hold it up and say like i've got it but the officer shouts and said get back in the car. you want to know because a few seconds later, he bolts and runs and it all goes back to why. now you say, maybe it doesn't matter in the full extent. it matters to the family to understand why. >> they obviously want to know all the details as they can. martin savidge, thank you. joining us now, attorney former south carolina state representative bicari sellers and mark geragos and harry houck. mark let me start with you. you're a defense attorney. from the defense standpoint in this case the defense of this police officer, does what happened in that vehicle with the stop does any of that matter or is all that really matters, frankly for both sides, prosecution and defense, what happened from the time the taser
5:20 pm
was fired to the time that mr. scott was shot and killed? >> well all that really should matter is what happened between the time that the taser was fired and when he was executed, but i would imagine that his lawyer will attempt to say that between the time that there was the video running on the stop on the dash cam video and the time that the person who was a precipient witness, they do something to create a false scenario and create a diversion, so to speak, in order to try to divert the jury's attention from what really happened here which was basically an assassination. >> harry, in looking at the dash cam video, as a police officer, you actually said that slager shouldn't have even run after mr. scott. >> right, exactly. when you pull a car like that over and there's two people in the car, and one man runs out, you don't chase that man because that second person could come out and put a bullet in your back.
5:21 pm
this officer didn't know what he had at the time so what i would have done and most officers should do especially by themselves is to let the guy run, all right, and take care of the guy on the passenger side. get him out of the vehicle, i would have probably went out with my gun drawn also because it's a very suspicious thing going on right here. pull him out of the car, identify him and find out what kind of conversation did they have before the other guy ran out. where are you coming from the back-up, we got a second guy that's fleed. >> you would call for back-up and let them know there's a guy on the run. bikari i want to ask you about the grand jury process. is it possible officer slager might not be indicted? >> well it is possible anderson but that is a very rare and unlikely scenario to play out. here in south carolina after each charge by the solicitor, the solicitor then does have to take this charge in front of a grand jury and usually that just means that the arresting officer sits in front of those 12 grand
5:22 pm
jurors and they will have to either give it a no bill or bring it forward. and we truly believe it's going to move forward, but i must also say that this journey for justice is still a long way from being over. in south carolina we have had officers who have been arrested. but we haven't had any officers that have been convicted. so here in this community, we're very excited about this quest for justice but also understand it's not over. >> bikari let's drill down a little bit on that. when i was there the other day, the state newspaper did an analysis over the last five years, there were some more than 200, i think it might have been 206 discharge of weapons by police officers in south carolina. not a single one, there were some indictments against some officers but there was never any conviction as you just said. what does that tell you? and if that's a problem, what needs to change? and how should it change? >> well you know that's what i tell most people when they come down to south carolina and throughout the country. this is not an isolated
5:23 pm
incident. in fact in north augusta, we just had another officer arrested this past week for murder of an african-american last year. seven months ago we had an officer pull his weapon out when a young man was reaching for his wallet and shot at him six times hitting him wunls.once. dates back to 1968 my father shot and killed by the officer in the massacre. here in south carolina we're used to african-american males blood running through the soil of this great state. this has to stop. we're not jaded and we don't have a low bar for justice and just say that an arrest or officer losing his job is what we're here for. our quest is a conviction. in south carolina officers must have really good attorneys because they haven't been convicted one time. >> you're saying the review process, i mean we're not talking about this case. we're talking about the bigger picture here. that there needs to be a sort of independent review process, is that one step you'd like to see?
5:24 pm
>> there has to be an individual or independent review process. not only do there have to be body cameras to know what's going on, it protects the individuals and the officers but there has to be this independent review process. you stated earlier and one of the other facts you had to state the usage of deadly force in south carolina 70 of the individuals were african-americans and again, we've actually had 5 that were arrested 5 that were indicted and we haven't had a single one that was convicted. so i know the country is excited. i know people are excited that there was an arrest. i know they say the mayor moved quickly by charging them and the solicitor moved quickly by charging them but we are so far away from the end of this your knee. in fact we're just beginning. >> mark is that in part juries more often than not give the bep benefit to the police officer? >> first of all, the system is gamed, if you will. the prosecutors, generally, are working hand and glove with the
5:25 pm
cops. so the last thing they want to do is convict the cops. they understand that. the judges the last thing they want to do is preside over something where the cop gets convicted and upset the cops' union or the correctional officer union or any other thing. i said it before it's the third rail. this idea that law enforcement basically has gamed the criminal justice system and especially when it comes to people of color. >> we've got to leave it there. mark geragos, harry houck, thank you for being on. how cell phones video change the way we see police shootings. witnesses more likely than ever to turn their cameras on. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing
5:26 pm
is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help. financial noise

5:30 pm
sometimes extremely graphic. we know to know what you're about to see. here's randi kaye. >> reporter: remember when scenes like this were shocking? that's rodney king being beaten by police in los angeles following a high-speed chase. it was 1991 when video taping police action was rare. fast forward about 25 years and this is now the norm. eric garner a father of six in a choke hold on a brooklyn street accused of illegally selling cigarettes. the bystander's cell phone camera even fixed up garner gasping for air. >> i can't breathe. >> reporter: garner pronounced dead at the hospital. officer pantaleo now on modified assignment awaiting a federal investigation. in st. louis last august cell phone video captured police shooting dead a 25-year-old man
5:31 pm
holding a knife. that case is under review. michael brown shooting in august wasn't caught on a cell phone camera but his body in the street was. so were protests and police reaction. >> what's your name sir? >> reporter: some officers react negatively once they realize they're being recorded. >> hold on. i have a constitutional right to record. you're interfering with that. take your hand away from my camera please. >> hey, you can't do that. you can't do that. massachusetts, it's the law. >> reporter: in new jersey after a police k 9 attacked a suspect already on the ground police tried this. >> i need your information. i'm going to take it from you. >> reporter: in fact police have no right to take your phone. one lawyer said recording anything in public is a first amendment right. and any officer who says turn off the camera is violating that federal right.
5:32 pm
which may explain why more police officers now favor wearing a body camera. in dallas last june an officer was wearing one when he and his partner shot and killed a mentally ill man with a screwdriver. >> drop that for me. >> jay! >> drop it. >> oh you killed my child! oh they killed my child. >> reporter: officer say the man lunged and shot him five times. this shows the officer's side of the story instead of a stranger's cell phone. which may not capture an event from the very beginning. even dash cam video in this case may not have been enough to prove the officers acted appropriately since their cars were parked in the street. the officers are still working, awaiting word from the dallas county district attorney. so next time a police officer is caught on cell phone video doing something like this -- >> are you going to open the door? >> why don't you say somebody people are shot by the police?
5:33 pm
>> reporter: he may also be recording you recording him. randi kaye cnn, new york. >> just ahead -- we finally know when hillary clinton is planning to announce her 2016 presidential run. plus outrage over video showing ten sheriff deputies beating suspects after a three hour long chase through the desert. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much. just keeping the lights on.

5:37 pm
state hillary clinton is expected to make official what's been widely seen as a forgone conclusion. she'll announce her candidacy on social media in a video. no big rally this time. no full on fanfare. after jumping into the race hit the campaign trail in two states iowa and new hampshire. talk about it with jeff zeleny gloria borger chief international correspondent john king who joins us from washington. why is she doing it this way? >> social media, a film that's
5:38 pm
been recorded and edited first and foremost for control. she wants to control her message and talk about what she wants to bring to this campaign. we've talked a lot about is she going to get in or not but not sure what she's running out. she'll outline that income equality trying to help the next generation but then going to iowa and new hampshire next week. but again, like you said, no big rally. she'll do small, small, small downsized events to look like she has a connection and trying to build a connection with voters. >> someone said we don't need to do shock and awe. everybody knows who hillary clinton is. big rallies is not her best thing. they want to reintroduce her in a one on one setting. if you're looking at your device or your computer, you know it is more personal. they believe that sunday afternoon, sunday evening is a big time when people sort of catch up on their social media and she'll have that new cycle. >> to gloria's point, it will be
5:39 pm
interesting to see if she can be reintroduced because as gloria said, everybody kind of knows who she is with an opinion one way or the other and you think about the era of inevitability surrounding the primary and then obama came along. is the clinton camp worried there's someone else out there? >> a little bit but not nearly as much. remember the 2008 feel you had then senator barack obama making a big national name for himself and now vice president and then senator joe biden. you had john edwards, a vice presidential nominee and then chris dodd. a much more credible seasoned democratic field. frankly, the hillary clinton campaign is not that worried about the former maryland governor or bernie sanders from vermont or former senator jim webb. he said he may run. look if you look at our latest poll anderson she's at 62% among democrats. closest to her is joe biden. he's 47 points behind her. he's not going to run.
5:40 pm
he hasn't said that yet. elizabeth warren is 52 points behind her. she's not going to run. inside the clinton campaign they think this is hers to lose if she makes a mistake and creates an opening who knows but has to make the mistake for. as jeff said they want caution and control. >> there's some people worried she doesn't have anyone running against her. >> make a better candidate. >> and b, not to look so inevitable. inevitability didn't go anywhere last time. but when you're not really running against somebody, you don't test yourself in a lot of ways. >> she's running against herself, essentially. >> absolutely. that's a problem. >> that is her biggest competition. >> is it clear that she has a fire in her belly for this? that's what a lot of people have sort of said there's this air of inevitability but does she really want it and willing to do what's necessary? i mean it's a long slob from here to there. >> i've done a bunch of
5:41 pm
reporting talking to her friends about it people who know her pretty well and i think i came away with thinking there's a tug of history here for her. that obviously being the first woman president is a big tug. there's a network that wants her to run. her husband really wants her to run. and she has in a way been preparing her whole life for this so there was a sense of how could she not do it at this moment particularly since the democrats have basically parted the waters for her, right? >> john that doesn't get to the idea of does she have a burning desire to do this to run, to campaign because some people love to campaign. i don't know does she? >> she doesn't like campaigning. that's part of the problem. she's a very talented person. she does not have obama or her husband's political gifts on the campaign trail. that's key in any politician but even somebody like hillary clinton who we think we know and have seen so often. you see, what have they learned,
5:42 pm
are they capable of being a little bit different? you are who you are at a certain point in your life but what did she learn from 2008? will she interact with voters more have a better relationship with the media? that's one thing she said is a priority. forget about that for a minute. the challenge is to go out and say why. don't say i was the first lady of arkansas the united states, the senator, why you want to be president. that's her biggest challenge forward. her resume is impressive no question about that. people think they know her and want to reintroduce some of her life they don't know as much but the biggest challenges is to talk about the economy and say why it would be different if you made her president, talk about the world, defended her record as secretary of state but then look around the corner. people will say and the republicans say she's the past. some of the democrats might gently say she's the past. her challenge is to prove she's about the future. >> do we know what bill clinton's role is going to be? he clearly played a big role the last time around for better or
5:43 pm
worse. >> he did. he played a very big role and usually for worse. usually her defender but came back to haunt him. at the very beginning, she's going to be on her own. she's not going to have him at any of the rallies. i'm told he could join by summer has an important role to fund raise and he's her top strategist behind the scenes. the difference she's surrounded by a different set of people. a lot of them are obama advisors. that to me makes clear she knows she needs to have a different kind of campaign. >> they want him doing strategy inside because they want to be able to sort of control him and whereas she might do the one on one sessions he could do the big events because he's really good at that. >> think they could control bill clinton? >> they're going to try. >> thank you. still a lot to talk about. a wild police chase. the suspect on horse back caught on camera. also caught on camera the tasing and beating that followed and now the consequences. we've learned what is happening to some of the sheriff's
5:44 pm

heights in the french alps where the glaciers are melting and best known wetlands the everglades where half is dead and another part on life-support. bill joining me with more on his adventures. two very contrasting parts of the world and yet both see major changes. >> exactly. and i wish i could say we planned it this way. it was a bit of logistics but i think it's poetic whether we talk about disappearing tigers in india or tourists in the galápagos. i've read about disappearing ice and see it through the people who really know their ice, mountain and skiers and wonder if it's the last generation there. and climate change skeptics at a las vegas conference there to see what was going on and then ended up in the everglades related when it comes to sea level rise some of the most vulnerable neighborhoods in america but the everglades is a great example of when man wakes up and realizes you can't trash
