thank you to my staff. thank you so much for joining me. follow me on twitter if you can spell smerconish. see you next week. dash cam video from the fatal police shooting in north charlton shows the passenger who could possibly explain why walter scott ran from police who is he and where is he? those questions coming as the town holds a memorial in less than one hour from now. a controversial police beating caught on tape some say is so bad, one person's characterizing it as worse than the rodney king case. >> the handshake between two world leaders that has us talking this morning. president obama and cuban leader raul castro could this encounter begin easing tensions between the two countries that have lasted more than half a century. what's next here? thank for sharing some of

your time with us here. 10:00 in the east. >> i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. >> good to have you with us. first this morning a week to the day after he was fatally shot in the back by a police officer. walter scott as we just said about an hour from now, going to be laid to rest. his family is gathering at a funeral and burial in summerville, south carolina. >> his burial is taking place as new details are coming out about another man who was in scott's car in the passenger seat just before that fateful encounter with police. cnn's martin savidge joins us now. first, tell us about the funeral. we understand that they do not want cameras inside but over to the -- open to the public. >> good morning, victor christi. i should point out that her that carries the casket arrived a few moments ago. interesting to point out it did have a police escort two

motorcycle officers in front of the hearst as it pulled into the christian plinstrys where the funeral service is taking place. it is clear already that looks like the number of people who want to attend this funeral is going to be larger than the number of seats or space inside to be able to handle all of them. those people right now are still outside and they are watching as things take place there. it is open to the public. anyone is allowed to attend but regards to the media, it has been requested that there be no cameras inside and there will be no cameras inside. and at this particular point there's no broadcast that will come from this service. this is at the specific request of the family. they wanted to keep at least this part of it very sacred and, of course, it's very important to them victor. >> martin there is new individual dash cam video of the passenger in scott's car. what more have we learned about this passenger? >> you know this passenger is basically described as the

mystery passenger or the mystery rider that was with walter scott. has not been identified. we do know that that person's name is known to authorities and yesterday the state law enforcement division that has been overseeing this investigation, did hold an interview, they said. they wouldn't talk about what that passenger had to say, but they also specifically said the passenger wants to remain anonymous. we tried to track this person down it's a him, all over and have had no luck in that. one suggestion was maybe he worked with walter scott. we went to where walter scott worked talked to two supervisors there and they say that passenger was not an employee of the company. of course crucial because he's seated next to scott just before he runs and that person would likely have what's going through scott's mind why is he fearful at that time victor? >> all right. and you also i understand have new information about the officer who's been charged in this case officer or former officer now slager?

>> correct. yes. he's being held at the county correction or detention center. and he's been put into isolation. it's not a surprise. usually any time a law enforcement finds themselves on the opposite side of the law they are put in isolation because there's concerns about the retribution that may be coming from people he put in jail. so that is the way he's being housed. the sheriff said not on a suicide watch but they are carefully monitoring his mental health and the guards would rotate past his cell far more frequently and he did have visitors yesterday, at least via television link. that's the way visitation conducted at this visitation center. we are told it was his wife and mother that was able to communicate. again, communicate through i should say this tell phonic link or visual link set up and that is in modern jails often the way visitation is conducted. only the attorney is allowed to meet face to face. >> martin savidge in

summerville, funeral services scheduled to start at the top of the next hour thank you. >> you're welcome. >> meanwhile, the recovery effort is beginning across the midwest. killer tornados struck multiple states on thursday and survey teams are on the ground there this morning trying to assess the amount of damage obviously, but the tornado was an ef-4 the second most powerful. cnn's nick valencia is in fairdale illinois what's interesting here is nick the one survivor who lost her home and she got help from facebook. i mean if you have any doubt about how good people can be this story is going to change that right? >> yeah. even in tragedy there's always seemingly somebody willing to help. it was just that case for lauren hin chi. she lost everything. her house was destroyed because of that ef-4 tornado that ripped through this community. so she took to facebook to vent her frustrations and really ask for help. that's exactly what she got. >> we have a friend's camper

coming in. >> reporter: a day after her home was destroyed, lauren hinchi found help. >> family friends. i'm a schoolteacher, a lot of school teachers came out for us today. >> reporter: on friday morning, word quickly spread on social media that her home in illinois was one of the dozens leveled by an ef-4 tornado. >> i put it on on facebook and said hey, we're fine but this is what we need. you know people just came out this morning. >> reporter: one by one neighbors, family and friends, all showed up. >> will be here to help pick up. it's a wonderful thing all these people came to help. >> reporter: some with gifts. >> i had a port-a-potty here before i knew it. i had containers and trailers. >> reporter: others to help her pick up priceless possessions. >> oh, i know. my heart wreath. i saw it in the garage. i'm like please be okay. please be okay. >> i know. >> between that and my running shoes. that's what i was worried about.

>> reporter: everyone seemed it to show up with something. >> tons of food donated. if you're hungry stop and get something. >> reporter: her small farm house may be uninhabitable for now but she has plans to rebuild. >> it's probably okay for now because obviously it's still -- the roof is still -- there's something over the top of it. >> reporter: she wasn't home at the time of the tornado but her husband was. >> how long have you guys been here? >> about 17 years. 18 years i guess. >> reporter: long enough to form some pretty strong bonds with people who want to help. pretty neat really. >> and that family is rebuilding slowly. just picking up the pieces like everyone else. back here to this neighborhood that power crew just showed up to restore power to this neighborhood. a lot of the residents haven't come back just yet. these are some who have. folks picking up what's left this debris trying to clean up the structure. that's one of the most devastated structures we've seen in all of fairdale the ef-4

tornado just ripping through here destroying nearly every structure in the small community. >> all righty. nick thank you for a good story this morning. we appreciate it. turn overseas to a story that's getting a lot of attention, a historic moment for u.s./cuba relations. president obama shook hands with cuban president raul castro at a summit in panama and even spoke on the phone earlier in the week. the last time something like this happened was back in 1959 when then vice president nixon and fidel castro shook hands. rosa flores is live from panama city. this meeting, is it going to lead to a bilateral meeting? is there something formal planned? >> you know that's a great question because right now, what we know is that no bilateral meeting has been set between these two heads of state. however, if you think about it this is a summit where these 35

heads of state get to ming until between event -- mingle in between events on the sidelines. that's what we're expecting to happen. president obama and president castro will probably at some point in time today, meet and greet, have a little coffee or something here in panama and speak about some of the ongoing negotiations. they did have a little icebreaker. we learned both heads of state spoke on wednesday. president obama was in d.c. president castro in havana and they had a chat in preparation for this event. the obvious question is why not just have a bilateral meeting? both delegations are here. what's stopping it? i asked the white house that question. here's what they had to say. >> i don't want people to kind of overthink this in the sense that a lot of this is just about the fact that we'll be setting up discussions with other leaders on the margins of the summit tomorrow. at the same time that there are

ongoing plannerry discussions. it's not conditional on policy. it's how do we work through the ability for him to have discussions with a variety of different leaders in the context of that summit. >> reporter: now a handshake is a great symbol but are things actually changing for the cuban people in cuba? you know some say in cuba that things are not changing. there's still some people worried about human rights violations. however if you just look on the business side a few things are changing. most recently airbnb announcing they have 1,000 listings in that country. that means that that's actual money in the hands of cubans. victor? >> rosa flores thank you so much. you know it's jolting to see this attack on a man running from the law. the beating caught on camera by a news helicopter. nearly a dozen sheriff deputies now under suspicion. the fbi is on the case. is this worse than the 1991

attack that sell off the l.a. race riots? the man's lawyer thinks so. >> as two american teenagers fight for their lives new concerns that more vacationers to the u.s. virgin islands could get sick after being exposed to a deadly pes sti side. we sent a cnn crew to the virgin islands to get some answers. you forgot the milk! that's lactaid®. right. 100% real milk just without the lactose. so, no discomfort? exactly. try some... mmm, it is real milk. lactaid®. 100% real milk. no discomfort. for fastidious librarian emily skinner, each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned.

appears to surrender lying face down on the ground before putting his hands behind his back. that doesn't stop the officers from mobbing around pusok, kicking him in the groin and in the head before kneeing him and landing punch after punch on his body. it's a beating that lasts about two minutes with ten officers involved all of whom are on paid administrative leave. >> somebody should go to prison over this. what i saw on the television was thugs beating up my client. that's what i saw and these questions about what was he doing? what did they do? this is far worse than rodney king. >> san bern dino sheriff john mcmahon has ordered an immediate internal investigation. the specialized investigation detail is also conducting a criminal investigation as well. >> i am disturbed and troubled by what i see in the video. it does not appear to be in line with our policies and procedures at least a portion of it. i ask that you allow us to conduct that investigateship and

>> earlier i spoke with law enforcement analyst tom fuentes about situations like this involving police. here's part of the conversation. >> bad things happen to police officers. unfortunately. you know it happens that a police officer does a bad thing to somebody else. but, you know, by and large, this what is you're going to see. you're going to see what police officers face how they get attacked on the street how they get shot at how vulnerable they are. it's a dangerous profession and especially when you have people that are out of control and wild especially when you see that in this walmart case that's what the police officer faces. how do you go into that situation and try to establish peace? no community policing is going to be able to help when you run into a situation like that family. >> all right. cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes there with me earlier. he also told me which is interesting, he thinks that these kinds of videos the dash cam, the surveillance body camera video being released now

. 40 minutes past the hour. hillary clinton is on the verge of starting her campaign to become the president. the much anticipated announcement is expected to come tomorrow in the form of a video posted to social media. this is according to sources close to her campaign. and then she'll hit the road visiting crucial states such as new hampshire and iowa. remember her third place finish in iowa back in 2008 ultimately led to the collapse of her presidential aspirations. cnn is live in washington with the latest. sunland, good morning, what are you hearing about this? >> good morning, christi. this video will be posted to social media at some point on sunday. clinton will then get out quickly and get out to the early states traveling to iowa soon after. aides say the goal is to demonstrate that this time around she doesn't want to take anything for granted. >> i'm back!

>> reporter: a new version of hillary clinton when she hits the campaign trail, lots of this. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: and more of this. >> looking forward to coming and having a conversation with a few people. >> reporter: the campaign's expected new strategy places clinton in smaller, more intimate settings intended to try to highlight her softer side aides say, and avoid the perception of inevitability that dogged her and led to her defeat in 2008. >> good to see you. >> reporter: central to that new pitch a focus on hillary clinton the person. she's aiming to reintroduce herself, not as a former first lady not as a former senator or secretary of state, but as a grandmother. >> i have to say, i am still kind of in the grandmother glow six months in it's better than a spa treatment. i highly recommend it. and i suppose it's only fair to say, don't you some day want to see a woman president of the

united states of america? >> reporter: she's already coming in bruised. controversy swirls over her use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state. >> looking back it would have been better for me to use two separate phones and two e-mail accounts. i thought using one device would be simpler and obviously it hasn't worked out that way. >> reporter: in her trust worthiness has take an hit. a quinnipiac poll out this week from the crucial swing states of iowa virginia and colorado show more voters believe she is not honest. >> hello, everyone. >> reporter: an area of vulnerability republican candidates have already pounced on. >> the question here is are they skirting election law, are they taking money and potentially getting influence bought by foreign countries through a foundation? it is unseemly. >> reporter: and we've said a lot about how clinton will announce tomorrow but what she says will be even more important. look for any hint she gives of

the central themes of her campaign as she makes this rollout, especially her message on the economy. >> all right. sunlen thank you so much. how does secretary clinton make a successful new case to voters after more than two decades in the public spotlight? earlier this morning, i spoke to political analyst jason johnson about what's next in this campaign. >> well it's not that people don't know about hillary clinton. they don't know if they trust her. there have been so many scandals with the clintons over the years. this is her opportunity to look someone in the eye and say look i'm not the person you saw on white wing radio i'm not the wife of bill clinton i am my own woman. >> is that not a case she made in 2008 that didn't work? >> i don't think it worked very well in 2008. she hadn't been secretary of state, she had been a senator for the state of new york a lot of people haven't seen what can you do if you have the levers of power and we know that. >> she went in 2008 to iowa and came in third place. >> right. >> behind now president obama and senator john ed warz.

how does she go back now after going around the world, 100 plus countries, and go through the snow to exit issues in des moines. >> this is going to be hard. i mean i think one of the things people forget about campaigns it is physically demanding. and i think hillary clinton has a whole new attitude this time. when she went in iowa in 2008 she said look this is a quar nags for me and this barack obama and john edwards guy can't do anything. this is what i can bring to the table, what do you want for me because i'll do that when i get to the white house. a humble more seasoned hillary clinton going into iowa this time. >> without a major challenger does she have to say, i will do that? no one is going to press her on. >> she's going to get a challenger. >> a serious challenger. >> i think she is going to get a serious challenger. i'm not putting it out of the woods jnl ss joe biden is going to get in the race. if they don't hillary clinton could be more trouble if she doesn't have a challenger than anything from a republican. >> make sure to tune in to cnn

a golf phenom has stolen the spotlight at the game's biggest tournament the masters. 21-year-old jordan spieth made history after his first two rounds. this as tiger woods is making his move up the leader board. cnn's rachel nichols is live in augusta, lucky her. tiger's demeanor has captured people's attention as i understand it. what have you noticed? >> yeah. he is funny, he's open he's relaxed, he spent the week joking around. he actually brought his kids out and had them participate in the par 3 tournament. that was unusual. he's talking about how much work he's put in over the past nine weeks. he took more than two months off tour to fix his game. he's taken big stretches off because of injuries and personal problems but this was hey, couldn't putt anymore and he needed to go back and learn he said how to play tournament golf. now he is playing it. he made the cut. he's looking good.

of course he is 12 strokes back from the leader but as he puts it it's a lot to be proud of. take a look. >> i was at a pretty low moment in my career but to be able to basically change an entire pattern like that and then put it together and then put it into a position where i can compete in a major championship like this that's something i'm very proud of. >> now it might be a stretch to say that tiger could still win this tournament. stranger things have happened. if he can get himself to a top five finish that would be a good mark for him. he says hey, things have changed, he feels a little older now, the young kids looking up to him, his own kids he has to chase around. he said you start to feel old when you run after 6 and 7-year-olds. he did note my soccer game has improved. there's something. >> what is your take on spieth? what's the buzz? do people think he can keep this play going? >> well wow, he is fun to watch.

so young, so composed and remember he actually contended at this tournament last year with 11 holes to play on the final sunday he was the leader and then he sort of crumbled with the pressure there and bubba watson coming on strong and watson is the one that eventually won the tournament. the question is can he hold a lead this time? it is a tough thing to hold the masters' lead from wire to wire but he's a composed kid, not prone to big fits of rage or broke breakdowns. we did see an epic destruction, greg norman in 1996 coughed up a six-hole lead. we'll see if that happens here. this kid looks solid and has a jump on everyone else. >> rachel nichols thank you so much. i want to remind everybody we will see more of you today, all access at augusta, this is a cnn bleacher report special, rachel's hosting it. you can see it today at 2:30 p.m. eastern. >> all right. in just a few minutes a south carolina community will remember
