2:00 am
with the historic meeting behind them, what's next in the relationship between the u.s. and cuba? war torn and displaced. for some residents of tikrit, all that's left is tears. and four years after the japanese tsunami, remnants are still washing up on the u.s. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm paula newton. this is "cnn newsroom." the president of the united states, barack obama, has now returned from a historic summit in central america. his next step is to determine whether he will remove cuba from the u.s. list of state sponsors of terror. that announcement was ebs
2:01 am
februaried this weekend at the summit. that is where he met face to face with raul castro for the first substantive talks between their countries in more than half a century. jim acosta says progress was made. >> reporter: it's a cold war no more as the president and raul castro came face to face, the first exchange between u.s. and cuban leaders since before mr. obama was even born. >> it was time to try something new. >> translator: we're willing to discuss everything, but we need to be patient. >> reporter: the president told reed leaders he wants to turn the page. >> the united states will not be imprisoned by the past. we're looking to the future. >> reporter: though he conceded these long-time adversaries will continue to have their differences. >> we will continue to speak out
2:02 am
on universal issues we think are important. i'm sure president castro will speak out on the issues he thinks are important. >> reporter: and castro did speak out. castro blasted u.s. meddling in his nation's affairs over the course of ten presidents. but in a remarkable moment, castro said he admired mr. obama. >> translator: in my opinion, president obama is an honest man. >> reporter: an assessment castro said he made after skimming through the president's auto biographies. >> translator: i admire him, and i think his behavior has a lot to do with his humble background. >> reporter: there hasn't been a give-and-take like this between the u.s. and castro since richard nixon met fidel castro in 1959 when dwight eisenhower was president. but even after a series of encounters, the president stopped short of saying he trusts the cuban leader. >> do you feel that raul castro
2:03 am
is an honest man? >> it was a candid and fruitful conversation between me and raul castro. i can tell you that in the conversations i've had so far with him, two on the phone and most recently, face to face that we are able to speak honestly about our differences and our concerns, in ways that i think offer the possibility of moving the relationship between our two countries in a different and better direction. >> reporter: next, the obama administration is expected to remove cuba from the u.s. list of state-sponsors of terrorism. a move blasted by some, including marco rubio who said i can't see how they can rationalize taking them off the list.
2:04 am
>> reporter: the question remains whether cuba will remain on the list of state-sponsors of terrorism. the president is nearing a desis on that issue. but the process doesn't end there as congress will have 45 days to weigh in on the issue. jim acosta, cnn, panama city, pan ma. >> just before leaving panama, a spokesperson indicated that the u.s. isn't interested in threatening venezuela. mr. obama announced saturday that the brazilian president will visit washington on june 30. they hope for increased trade between the two largest economies in the americas. it also appears that a lingering strain has been erased from a few years ago when rue self canceled a trip.
2:05 am
it is reported that islamic militants opened fire on the south korean embassy killing at least one guard. an unknown number of militants fired at the front of the embassy from a car and there are no reported casualties of south korean nationals. and we'll keep you updated as we learn more on this story. thousands took to the streets demonstrating against houthi rebels. demonstrators called on the international community to hold saudi arabia accountable. i spoke with someone in sanaa and asked if these protesters can change the saudi offense. >> caller: there are two ways to change it. one by international pressure and number two, the houthis being convinced that the only option is to have a ground
2:06 am
invasion. the houthis have entered saudi arabia momentarily. for one hour and came back after clashes. so there have been encounters at the border as the houthis do not want to launch a long land invasion and give saudi arabia a chance to solve this problem and have a cease-fire in tact before it gets out of control. right four the protests are massive in sanaa, in the hundreds of thousands, and they are not worried about being attacked, because they know that the majority of those killed in sanaa were civilian, and they were in their homes. i pretty much expect that if there is no cease-fire agreement soon or a halt to the attacks, they will start a land invasion into saudi arabia. >> is there any indication that anything has changed there on the ground in the capital? i know things are confused to the south in aden, but any
2:07 am
indication that those saudi airstrikes are having any effect whatsoever? >> caller: although the houthis are in control, complete control of sanaa, yes, there has been airstrikes against houthi targets, but these airstrikes have been on the military bases. the houthis are still in control of almost everything in sanaa, and nothing has changed in that order. the houthi commanders tell you that they are still in control. they are expanding in territory. they have entered provinces during this airstrikes. this shows that they have not been weakened by the saudi attacks over the last four weeks. so there are gains on the ground for the houthis, not only in sanaa but spreading in nearby areas and the southern provinces. so they are spreading. this seems to be a launch they are ready for, because you
2:08 am
cannot win wars by airstrikes. >> now you are getting a look inside syria. this is how 18,000 palestinians in syria are living in the war-torn camp as they try to go about their lives amid these demolished buildings near da mass cass. they don't have access to medical care or adequate food or water or shelter. isis seized a lot of yarmouk over the past days. >> translator: we will stay here and die here or go back to palestine no matter what. >> translator: i will never get out of the camp now when i am 75 years old. yarmouk is like the soul to me. >> translator: we are civilians. we have children and patience. there is no curemedicinal
2:09 am
care here. we need to eat and drink. let them allow relief and food. >> the syrian air forces drop dozens of barrel bombs on the camp since last wook. a new isis video claims to show militants destroying an archaeological site last month. militants used explosives to blow up an ancient city. earlier, men are seen using sledgehammers to destroy artifacts. it was to be placed on unesco's heritage sites. if you look at the i ammance before the destruction, if's incredibly sad what's gone on there. in his homily, pope francis called it the first genocide of
2:10 am
the 20th century. now is incredibly significant. because calling the slaughter by the ottomans a genocide has always been a point of contention. the pope's comments will likely upset turkey which has always denied a genocide took place, arguing that thousands of armenian christians and turks died in civil war, and that occurred around world war i. now the mass comes 12 days ahead of armenia's official remembrance day of april 24. this was one of those commemorations. a million and a half were killed between 1915 and 1918. now after months, yes, even years of speculation, that's how long we've been talking about this. today hillary clinton is expected to announce her bid for the 2016 presidential race. now a source says clinton will announce her campaign in a video on social media at the summit of the americas in panama.
2:11 am
president obama weighed in. >> with respect to hillary clinton, i'll make my comments very brief. she was a formidable candidate in 2008. she was a great supporter of mine in the general election. she was an outstanding secretary of state. she is my friend. i think she would be an excellent president. >> that's a different take, likeable enough when he said they were adversaries. now the former secretary of state's staffers met yesterday to outline ideas to avoid the mistakes thatplagued clinton's failed bid in 2008. now general elections in britain are set for may 7. and an opinion research poll says support for u.k.'s independence party has fallen to just 11%. that's its lowest level since 2012. the poll also puts current prime
2:12 am
minister david cameron's conservatives at 36%, a two-point lead over the opposition labour party at 34%. it's said to be the closest british election in a generation. sources say neither the labor party or the conservative party will win a majority. now a man shot by an officer in north carolina was laid to rest. hundreds of relatives, friends and local officials packed the church to celebrate the life and mourn the death of the father of four. martin savage has more. >> reporter: far more people showed up for the funeral of walter scott than could possibly fit inside the church where it was held. as the hearse came up to the church it was escorted by two police office others on motor cycles. that is part of a bridge building, if you will. the community, the mayor
2:13 am
promising that any and all resources would be brought to bear to help the family. some find it ironic, given the fact that it's a police officer that's now charged with the murder of walter scott. inside, people packed the hallways if they couldn't get inside the church itself. anthony scott said of his brother that he had been especially selected, he said, to be a candidate for change in america. change was a common theme throughout the service. he was mentioned many, many times. towards the end, it was said by the pastor, there's going to be change so that walter's death will not be in vain. and then the service came to an end. the burial was private. this service was open to the public. to the other side now, and that is officer michael slager. his mother and wife were able to visit him in the detention center yesterday. now that this funeral has come to an end, there had been a moratorium on protests today, and many of the public officials said that they weren't going to
2:14 am
speak out until after the family had a chance to grieve. that time has come and gone, which means the controversy is likely to start up again. beginning tomorrow. back to you. >> that was our martin savage now. cell phone video was the key to bringing that to the public's attention. and later, we'll show you a new app that could help bystanders record and automatically upload controversial video of police. plus, protests in china for five feminists arrested last month as the women await the answer from the chinese government on their fate. that's up next. want to play hide and seek? yeah! 1... 2... 6... 10!

on the eve of international women's day in march, five chinese feminists were arrested for planning a demonstration to demand gender equality. chinese authorities have until monday to formally charge the women whose arrests have sparked a social media campaign and calls for their release from top female leaders around the world. anna coren reports. >> reporter: they're the faces behind china's feminist movement. five young confident activists who spent the last five years publicly calling for women's rights. but on the eve of international women's day, as they were planning a campaign similar to
2:18 am
this one about zebsual harassment on public transport, police arrested them. for more than a month, they've been in custody, accused of disturbing public order, and support oers feel that if they're not released by april 13, the deadline for authorities under chinese law, they will be formally charged, facing up to five years in jail. prosecutors declined to talk to cnn. no one at all has been released, says their lawyer. so it seems all of them have been put forward tor fofor form arrest. some soon in this video have protested against gender inequality in the workplace and a lack of female public toilets, but they're best known for their protests against domestic violence, chanting yes to love, no to violence. >> five women's rights activists in china have been held for a month on suspicion of picking
2:19 am
quarrels and promoting trouble. >> reporter: their recent arrests have sparked international condemnation with leaders joining every day people. hillary clinton tweeted that it must end. this is unexcusable. samantha powell wrote, if china is committed to advancing the rights of women it should be addressing issues raised by these women, not silence them. remarks that have clearly angered chinese authorities. china is a country ruled by law, says the foreign ministry spokes woman. relevant departments will handle these cases. we hope that public figures in other countries can accept china's sovereignty and independence. since xi jinping came to power in 2012, his government has
2:20 am
locked up thousands for dissent. and while china is on the cusp of a law, human rights groups believe the five women and the influence they wield are now a threat to the regime. >> i think the chinese government is concerned about nng och ngos and people have the power to mobilize and sway public opinion. >> reporter: something these women successfully achieved. anna coren, cnn, hong kong. the u.s. is complaining to moscow about what it says was an unsafe and unprofessional maneuver in the skies. a plane similar to this one was flying over the baltic sea when a russian military plane intercepted it. russia says the u.s. plane was flying toward russia with its transponder off, a claim the
2:21 am
u.s. denies. kenya's deputy president sent a strong warning to the u.n. refugee agent circumstance move the largest refugee camp out of kenya in three months, or we shall reloebt it ourselves. he's talking about the refugee camp which houses more than 600,000 refugees. they believe the senior al shabab leader has ties with that camp. they claim ties to the university attack earlier this month. they want those refugees moved to somalia. now the first of many funerals have started in kenya since that attack. cnn reports on one of the victims, a 21 year old man residents say was the first person from their small kenyan village to attend the university. [ wailing ]
2:22 am
>> reporter: mourners gather in this kenyan village, not for the death of an elder but for 21 year old bryson. bryson was in the prime of his life, described as a role model by those who knew him. his family had little money for education, but showing enormous potential, the entire community came together, sending bryson to university. >> he also had a problem of getting to the fields. they had to go into their possibilities to do this kind of fund-raising so the boy could be admitted into the university. >> reporter: and their dream came true. bryson enrolled at the college, studying education. he hoped to one day become a teacher and return to help other young people. his it family and community were extremely proud. they say he was the first person from the village to attend the university. that was until their dream
2:23 am
became a nightmare the early morning of april 2nd, when bryson along with hundreds of his fellow students and teachers were woken up by rapid gunfire. al shabab militants had stormed the school, shooting anyone think saw. bryson was one of those who died that day. his family had to make the long trek to nairobi to identify his body, then return to the village to bury him. >> i'm very short on teachers. and may god keep his soul in peace. >> translator: when you start educating your child, it's like you have begun preparing him for his life later, but then it is cut short, even before the vision you had for him comes to reality. >> reporter: but those who are able to bury their dead are actually the lucky ones. here at nairobi's main mortuary, dozens of family members have been waiting more than a week to
2:24 am
identify their family members and to finally take them home. relatives of the victims arrive early in the morning and leave late at night waiting for the conclusion. dozens of bodies have been released while many remain. >> in the coming weeks, there will be more than 100 burials like this across the country. families and friends saying their last good-byes to young, driven, passionate kenyans who hoped to return home one day with a university degree, but not like this. robin creel, cnn. tikrit is free from isis, but we hear from families who are still afraid to go back home. plus, one young african-american man posts an honest video online by sharing his encounter with a police

thanks for joining us. here's an update on the top stories we're following this hour. after his historic talk with president raul castro, u.s. president obama has to decide if he will remove cuba from a terror list. the two leaders metz for an hour at the summit of the americas in panama. mr. obama says he needs to finnish reading the state department's review before deciding if he will take cuba off that list. thousands of protesters filled the streets of yemen's capital condemning the saudi attacks against the houthi
2:29 am
rebels. they're asking for the international community to hold saudi arabia accountable. and we're getting a new look at the devastation at yarmouk refugee camp in syria. this is how 18,000 palestinians in syria are living now near damasc damascus. isis seized almost all of yarmouk over the past week. meanwhile, the iraqi government has declared the city of tikrit safe and free of isis. but some displaced families say they are afraid to return home. arwa damon has more from baghdad. >> reporter: this 16 year old and her 17 year old sister were somehow spared the violence that's torn iraq apart since the u.s.-led invasion. we're not used to this, she
2:30 am
says. they are from tikrit. she constantly tries to call her girlfriends, but their phones are all off. their father can't stop his eyes from welling up. but they do not dare return, even if and when the government declares it safe. i swear, i just don't trust the situation he tells us. he's not alone. this partially constructed building is just one of many in baghdad's predominantly sunni neighborhood, turned into refugee housing, for sunni families that fled isis, most from towns not far from tikrit. she's saying they miss their home. they miss their lands, their farm. a lot of the families who are here that we've been speaking to are from areas that have already been liberated. but they're still too afraid to return.
2:31 am
they're afraid of returning without government permission. they want to see an official coming out on television, assuring them that it's safe. they're also afraid of what isis may have left behind. it's not just isis they fear. these sunni families are hesitant to go home. the shia force fighting alongside iraqi government troops terrifies them as well. it's not a risk they're willing to take. for eight months, she and her family were forced to live under isis rule. it was the day after the fall of mosul, she says. anyone who spoke against them was quilled. it was forbidden to leave, she continues. there was no power, no water, no gas. they were caught in the crossfire of bullets and bombs. these kids, they would all hide under the staircase, she says of her nieces and nephews. one time we only ate eggs for a
2:32 am
week. there were bullets that came into the house and i screamed for my father the 4-year-old declares. finally, a few months ago, isis allowed everyone to leave. this is their street now. we spent our lives there, we grew up there. and to go back and find nothing, she says, it's just too much. unable to return and unsure who too blame. arwa damon, cnn, baghdad. back in the united states. cell phones are increasingly used to record police in disturbing situations like the video we're about to show you. a south carolina officer shooting 50 year old walter scott in the back. it led to a murder charge. some people are concerned, however, that police will take their phones.
2:33 am
cnn correspondent dan simon takes a look at a new app to alleviate that worry. >> reporter: as we've seen with recent cases, the best weapon against police misconduct could be this, the camera in your cell phone. and all kinds of apps are popping up to capture what may be questionable encounters involving police officers. from the rodney king beating in los angeles to the chokehold death of eric garner in new york, and now this latest incident in south carolina. the video made all the difference in exposing those cases to the world. one relatively new app is called cop watch. it's a basic video camera app. the primary difference is, the user doesn't have to worry about the footage getting lost or confiscated. it immediately starts rolling as soon as you open it, and you can adjust the setting so the video automatically gets uploaded to youtube. >> the last thing you want to worry about is technical
2:34 am
details, like is it being record recorded properly? is it going to upload properly. there are also situations where the phone might be pulled out of your control. you might have it taken away from you, drop to the ground. anything could happen. >> reporter: one question that routinely comes up is whether police have the right to seize your camera or tell you to stop filming. >> i need your information. i'm going to take your phone. >> reporter: in new jersey, this officer demanded a witness hand over his video of an arrest, but legal experts say this is not proper. if you're in a public place, it's pretty much fair game to shoot. >> that's your lawful right, because no one has an expectation of privacy in public. in the vast majority of these situation, the police behave properly. and police department the themselves are increasingly turning to video as well with the proliferation of body cameras worn by officers. >> reporter: probably the best case scenario is that officers and citizens themselves will behave better if they know
2:35 am
they're being recorded. >> before we move on from this, we want to bring you another angle to this story. minutes after being pulled over by a white police officer, a young african-american man decided to share his experience on video. 22-year-old will stack posted this video to facebook. >> people need to understand that not all officers are crooked. not all officers are racist, bad people. and not all people who get shot or tased or arrested by officers are innocent victims, you know. just because you're black doesn't mean you're a victim. just because you're white doesn't mean you're racist. just because you're a cop doesn't mean you're bad person. this world needs to stop putting labels on people and things and see them for who they are. >> for more on the video and why stack made it, here's jack kinsey. we want to warn you some of the video is graphic.
2:36 am
>> usually i don't do videos but i feel like that is necessary. >> reporter: that is will stack after he had been stopped by an officer. the officer saw him make an illegal turn. he was a white officer, pulling over a young, african-american driver after stack and the rest of the nation began to see and be shocked by the video showing the fatal shooting of walter scott in north carolina. >> as he pulled me over initially, i was a little cautious. my first thought was hands on the steering wheel, make sure he can see what you're doing, don't be reaching for anything in the car. keep your hands up at all times. wait until he approaches you to get your information out of the glove box. >> reporter: a few minutes later, stack had a freshly written warning citation in his hand and a new reminder on the
2:37 am
rule on medians. the two men went on their way, then he recorded video about what happened and the way it showed how things are supposed to work between police and their communities. between black and white. >> it's possible for african-americans and police officers to get along. it's possible for african-americans to have respect for police officers and what they do. and not everybody shares the same mind-set, because nobody's the same. everybody's different. we don't know what all cops do. we don't know what all caucasian people do. the only thing we know is what's highlighted, what's put in the media, which unfortunately, nine times out of ten are thing e negative things. so i wanted to bring something positive to social media to the world to let people know there are good cops out there, positive african americans out

the rap artist known best as nellie is facing felony drug possession charges in the u.s. state of tennessee. a state trooper pulled over a private bus nellie, otherwise known as cornell haines and other people were riding in.
2:42 am
they found handguns, marijuana during a search and nelly was arrested. he later was bonded out of jail. in a statement, the 40-year-old's lawyer says he is confident that his client will not be associated with the contraband when the facts come out. now to a demonstration in spain that's unlike any you've ever seen before. hundreds protested a law using holograms. holograms of thousands of marching protesters were projected outside the parliament building in madrid saturday. the images were used because the safety law prohibits protesters from protesting outside government buildings. the event was a first in the world. no one was arrested. now it's been four than four years since the deadly earthquake and tsunami hit the japanese coast. now debris believed to be from that tsunami is showing up
2:43 am
thousands of miles away in oregon. >> reporter: rob and debbie parks spotted the mussel and barnicle-glazed mass yesterday off the coast of newport. >> off the horizon i saw this black thing. of course it was almost clear down on the water. >> reporter: what did you think when you first saw it out there? >> said here's another one. >> reporter: david spent six hours towing it in after biologists okayed the move, saying it should pose little if any threat of carrying invasive species, but along with the usually trans-pacific passengers, this boat did have some other live stow aways. >> we have 20 yellowtailed jacks and a striped fish. >> reporter: fish were living in the central hold of the boat. >> they were probably born outside that boat but arrived in that boat as a half inch. >> reporter: and look at them
2:44 am
now. biology gists will dna test the larger yellowtails to determine exactly where they're from. but this striped beak fish is native to japanese waters. and the best evidence yet connecting the find to the tsunami. >> really? a lot of riders coming over. fish of that size in a small hold, i've never seen anything be like it. they're in apparently good shape. >> reporter: better than the old hulk of a boat anyway. not the first you've seen, probably not the last. >> no, i don't think it's the last. there's a lot of debris still out there from that. >> our derek van dam is standing by to explain this to me. like he said, the fish were alive. this is four years. >> i know. to me this is fascinating. you wonder how much more debris will end up on the west coast of the united states. we've seen it time and time again. we've heard of docks washing
2:45 am
ashore, houses or portions of houses washing ashore. now we've got a boat, a derelict old fishing vessel with fish that were still trapped in those compartments, just proving that this is, indeed, debris from the tsunami over four years ago. remember that happened on march 11, 2011. how could we forget with images like this. but these are the fish, fish that are native to the western pacific. they're also found off the coastal waters of japan. that is why marine biology gists believe that this particular fishing vessel, a commercial fishing vessel was indeed from the tsunami. in fact, marine biologists believe that the ship was damaged in the tsunami and set afloat across the pacific ocean and traveled nearly 8,000 kilometers eastward from japan to the west coast of the united states. let's explain why this is possible. we've got several small currents
2:46 am
that make up a larger current pattern. one being the california current, the north equatorial current. and the kuroshio current. this is basically a large system of smaller currents formed by global wind patterns, even helped by the forces of the earth rotating. this is also the location of the great pacific garbage patch. it's about 20 million square kilometers of garbage that's kind of centralized itself over the north and central pacific ocean. this is amazing, this huge conglomerate of debris and things like plastic bottles, even chemical waste found in this large garbage patch over the central pacific. and now, with this cyclonic flow over the central pacific that we have found some of the degrees flying east ward from the tsunami.
2:47 am
in fact, the national atmospheric and oceanic administration made these models. this is basically the debris fields moving gradually eastward. it's just that we continue to see the debris piling up on the west coast of the united states or the west coast of all of north america. what the biologists found was the debris left over from the tsunami was about 5 million tons, about 70% of that or 3.5 million tons expected to sink over time. but what we've seen is this continuous washup of things, like abandoned see vessels, houses, even i've heard reports of a harley davidson washing ashore. this is fascinating to me, and explaining why it happens and looking back at that, i think it's extraordinary. >> i mean, looking at the picture over your shoulder, a
