born. >> it was time to fry something new. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> translator: we are willing to discuss everything but we need to be patient. >> reporter: the president told leaders gathered at the summit of the americas in panama he wants to turn the page with cuba. >> the united states will not be imprisoned by the past. we are looking to the future. >> reporter: though, he conceded these long time adversaries will have their differences. castro did speak out. joking he was making up for missing past summits when cuba wasn't invited, castro blast u.s. meddling in his affair over the course of ten president 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 skimming through the president's auto biographies. >> translator: i were in him and i think his behavior has a lot to do with his humble background. >> reporter: there hasn't been a take like this since mixon met fundamental fundamental when dwight eisenhower was president. after a series of encounters with castro, the president stopped short of saying he trusts the cuban leader. do you feel that raul castro 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
3:04 am
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 lawmakers including florida republican senator marco rubio who said, i don't see how they can rationize taking them off the list other than the president's desire to achieve a legacy issue. the president argued, times have changed. >> cuba is not a threat to the united states. >> reporter: the president did not resolve the issue whether cuba will remain on the u.s. list of state sponsors of terrorism but a senior administration official told reporters that the president is nearing a decision on that issue but the process doesn't end there as congress will have 45 days to weigh in on the issue. >> jim, thanks. hillary clinton is expected to kick off a race for the white house in a few hours. >> her soon to be campaign team met at their lawyers to outline their message.
3:05 am
this morning, we are learning details about a values statement that was handed out at that meeting that says the campaign's purpose is to, quote, give every family every small business and every american a path to prosperity of electing hillary clinton the next president of the united states. >> brianna keilar joins us from washington. what else do we know about clinton's message? it's already taking some heat. >> yeah, it is. and it's already taking shape even before it's out this morning. i think the main message that we are expecting is that this is very different from her 2008 campaign. no mistake the memo was put out there. one part of it the campaign officials saying to the new staffers this is part of what they are doing and saying we are humble, we take nothing for granted, we are never afraid to lose. we always outcompete and fight for every vote we can win. hillary clinton very much the
3:06 am
front-runner in the polls but she is trying to to, as her campaign is, show people that she's not taking that for granted. >> reporter: like her 2007 announcement, it will come via video a message she has already intermediate to be released on social media but that is where clinton advisers open the comparisons to her failed 2008 bid to fail will end. she says the birth of her granddaughter charlotte pushed her to run and fuel a campaign message about equal opportunity for all. unfortunately, she writes, too few of the children born in the united states and around the world today will grow up with the same opportunities as charlotte. clinton says becoming a grandmother rather than make me want to slow down, it has spurred me to speed up. she will follow her announcement with a trip to the early caucus

state of iowa. >> i'm back! >> reporter: in 2008 her third place finish there signaled the beginning of the end for her campaign. >> thank you! >> reporter: a new quinnipiac university poll shows her admission she used a personal e-mail account to conduct business of secretary of state may have affected her favor ability there. distinguishing from a rather unpopular president obama without alienating his supporters and handling one of the most controversial part of obama's record, foreign policy. she served as his secretary of state and was in charge during the benghazi attack in 2012 and questions about her age. if elected, she would be 69 when she took office, making her the second oldest president in history. and there is also the bill factor. how will the campaign manage the sometimes unpredictable former
3:08 am
president? >> this whole thing is the biggest fairy tale i've ever seen. >> reporter: questions clinton's new staff hope better to be voiced to answer when the campaign becomes official. they will be answering a lot of questions today, victor and christi that they are taping this before she heads to iowa and new hampshire to reinforce what her rational is for running. >> i guess there are two recent examples as relates to the primaries and the vrigorous primary. most think it helped president obama in 2008 and mitt romney not so much in 2012. are they secretly comfortable
3:09 am
moving ahead with some of the lesser, i guess, challenges that they have announced thus far? >> reporter: i think they would like for her to have that chance. we have seen the last year that she has struggled to kind of get some of her legs politically beneath her because she has been out of the realm for so long. i think they would like there to be a challenger but the fact at this point, she is so far ahead in the polls compared to some of these other democratic contenders. it's even unclear, for instance, in vice president joe biden will throw his hat into the ring and a lot think he won't. i think some close to hillary clinton think this is what they are dealing with. she is going to be competing a lot against republicans, perhaps not so much against democrats. it's this really sort of a strange campaign in a way that this is where she is at and this is who she is competing against. it's almost unprecedented. >> brianna keilar for us from
3:10 am
washington, thank you so much. clinton already got a pretty big supporter, president obama. here is what he said last night about her announcement. >> with respect to hillary clint clinton, i'll make my comments very brief. she was a pformidable candidate in 2008 and 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. >> make sure to tune in to cnn today for a special two-hour edition of "state of the union." the focus -- clinton's 2016 campaign and starts at noon eastern. clinton is supposed to introduce herself not as the

3:15 am
clinton's announcement in just a few hours here, i want to take a look at the latest poll showing her far ahead of any potential democratic challengers. you see it here, 62% to joe biden at 15%. clinton's soon to be campaign team made it clear she is going to try to avoid mistakes that plagued her failed run back in 2008. their message now -- let's talk to david johnson about this,a crisismanagement expert and jamie turner, the ceo of 60 second communications is with us now. gentlemen, thank you so much. david, i want to start with you because you were talking about how one of the things she really needs to do is explain the new direction she will take the country and without repudiating president obama. that is a delicate dance, isn't it? >> it is and very hard for candidates to do. usually when you're trying to succeed your own president, you
3:16 am
try to say four more years. we saw that with george h.w. bush in 1988 and richard nixon in 1960 they were popular presidents. the problem is president obama is not popular. a recent poll on cnn showed 6 out of 10 americans wanted a president to take the country in a changed direction from his policies. how can she run on four more years uby him not president obama. we saw that with john mccain in 2008. he was caught with george w. bush. what hillary has to figure out how does she say, hey, i'm taking the country a new direction but, wink, wink, it's still four more years of president obama. >> what about the campaign strategy she is running i'm more of a grandmother than i am anything else? >> all brands have to refresh
3:17 am
themselves every so often, so hillary clinton is a very established brand and whether you're pepsi or coca-cola or hillary clinton, you have to go in and refresh it every so often so you stay relevant and interesting to people. so what she has done with her team, i know some of the team that have worked on this, they have gone in and said what is the authentic hillary? what is the way that we can tap into who she really is some as david mentioned, distance her a little bit from obama while not distancing her from some of the policies that the democrats follow. the bottom line they go in and say let's refresh the brand and repackage it so that we are new and fresh to people and she has done that by basically positioning herself as a reenergized grandmother which i think softens her a little bit to the people who find her harsh and keep talking how she is reenergized and address the age issue so it's a fine balance. i think, so far from a strategic standpoint they have done a
3:18 am
really good job. >> 9 front page of the "new york post" are holding back no punches. there is always criticism. oh, oh, hill no!" they. inside they say the real issue is clinton fatigue. a national exhaustion. >> with hillary clinton, yes, she is trying to rebrand herself as a new grandmother but she has the old bagch with the old hillary as we saw with her recent press conference about the e-mails and she not escaping that and very hard when someone has been around as long as hillary clinton to rebrand themselves. yes, you need to try to refresh yourself but sometimes it's not possible and it doesn't look like it's possible for hillary clinton. >> jamie, let me ask you about the bill factor. there was a video from "the new
3:19 am
york times" in 2007 where they were in the grocery store during a campaign stop in des moines. he basically upstaged his wife. she was there to talk to people and, lo and behold mr. clinton was mobbed by baggers and shoppers and cashiers and a time she stood by herself waiting for her husband to stop chatting up the crowd. how is he going to play a role in this, jamie? >> as someone who is happily married, let me assure you she addressed that with him immediately after that happened and he was talked to not only by his lovely wife but also by his handlers. >> but you can't deny his popularity. how might his popularity in general affect her? >> absolutely. so the balance is how do you leverage the popularity without letting it overwhelm you? they are working very, very hard right now trying to figure out that balance. i would suggest, believe it or not, if i were consulting with
3:20 am
them right now, i would say, make sure that you don't ever get too far where bill clinton overwhelms hillary. once that tipping point happens, it's very difficult to get it to go back. they are in there watching this every step of the way and they are analyziing all of the repors that go out that he does not do that. >> you have to have a campaign strategy but have to be fluid with it at the end of the day. we thank you both so much for being with us. this morning, stunning new video of a deadly altercation with police. the tulsa county sheriff's office is just releasing this tape. it shows a sting operation that ends up with a police chase here but it goes terribly wrong when a 73-year-old reserve officer pulls out his gun instead of his taser. also a virtual demonstration in the streets of madrid. we will explain why and how these ghostly protesters made

a reserve deputy accidentally fires his gun rather than his taser and that suspect is killed. officials released this undercover video here. eric harris attempting to sell a weapon and ammunition to an undercover caught is caught on camera. when police show up, harris makes a run for it, leading to the chase that would ultimately end with a reserve deputy mistaking a taser for a gun. reporter morgan stanley from cnn
3:25 am
affiliate koki has more. >> stop right here. stop right here! >> reporter: independent consultant and tulsa police sergeant jim clark says while harris is running, officers catch up to him from behind and start to take him down. clark says at this time, robert bates was in front of harris and the officers in this video and clark says bates announces he has a taser. >> that is done to warn other law enforcement officers that you're about to deploy this device. >> reporter: then the shot goes off and bates apologizes. >> i shot him. i'm sorry. >> reporter: clark says a scientific reason called slip and capture explains why bates had a gun in his hand and not the taser. clark says in times of extreme emergencies and time pressure, officers react dimple. >> you can train someone as much as you can and you train in every area that you can, but in times of crisis, sometimes training is not going to take you through the scenario.
3:26 am
>> reporter: clark says after the shot was fired, bates' gun immediately fell to the ground. he says that is because a taser grip and gun grip are different. >> he, obviously, had a taser grip which caused the gun upon discharge to leave his hands and fall to the pavement. >> i want to bring in former fbi assistant director tom fuentes. good morning to you, tom. >> good morning. >> good morning. in the piece, investigators say the mistake by the deputy going for his gun as opposed to the taser is called -- there is a name for it -- slip and capture. how common is it? >> it shouldn't be that common. i would like to know more about this incident. one of the things that will come up in this incident is how much training did that officer have in being able to distinguish between one and the other and what i'm getting at is that normally, as a former firearm instructor with police and former fbi instructor, you drill and drill and drill and draw and
3:27 am
fire thousands of times so that it is a reflex. under extreme distress it's not something you think about. you know the difference. you carry the gun on one side and the taser on another. it's enough of a different grip and a different maneuver to pull one instead of the other. if you drill long enough, you know, you should pull the right weapon at the right time. however, a taser is not always, you know, effective. it doesn't always work on everybody. i think in that video, you hear that clicking sound made by a taser, so someone else is trying to use a taser. that clicking usually means that the little probes didn't connect with the subject and there is no effective then. the taser is not working properly and then you have to reload it and put a new cartridge in. it's almost a one and done situation in an emergency. so, you know, in this case, if the deputy hadn't been trained adequately, hadn't practiced adequately and had the gun in his hand instead of taser and
3:28 am
then immediately realizes it when the shot goes off in saying, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, you know, this may be as much of a reflection on poor training as anything else. >> poor training, i think two things that stand out to people when they hear this. one, this was a reserve officer, which i'd like you to explain to us the difference, if there is and, b, he was 73 years old. not that we are taking anything away from anybody and their age. everybody ages differently. but that stands out to people when they hear this. >> one thing about reserve and auxiliary officers in this time of extreme budget cuts, a lot of police departments do what they can to supplement their staff and, you know, the number of officers on the street and that may include directing traffic or working at special ooeveneventst is events, let's say, with volunteers on. officers who retired and they
3:29 am
come out and they help and they get a certain amount of training but they don't get the thousands of hours of training that full police officers get and continue to get throughout their career. that can be a problem. a lot of the departments, the axillaries don't carry firearms but in this case maybe it's someone that doesn't normally carry one but because it was a special arrest of someone selling firearms illegally it may be the special occasion of the rests that things were done a little bit differently. we don't know all of the facts of this and the body cam doesn't show exactly what happens at the time of the shot. even though the shot was unintentional, it might have been justified in a way. you know, this individual, again, we have somebody involved in a firearms sale, a sting operation. he takes off running. he is resisting. he's not cooperating and it's one of those things if a subject stops and just complies with the arrest, he's alive today.
3:30 am
accident or no accident, i'm not saying it justifies the shooting, but the investigation might show that it does justify the shooting. >> we know the family has released a statement as well. we are going to get to that a little bit later. tom fuentes will join us next hour to talk about this. thanks so much, tom. that is when we will hear from the family and as you can imagine, they have a lot of questions as well. ♪ here's a look at stories developing now at the bottom of the hour. hillary clinton officially launching her presidential campaign in just a few hours from now with a video message on social media. her aides say she is not taking anything for granted. president obama says she would be an excellent president, with a strong message. president obama deciding whether to take cuba off the list of state sponsors of terrorism. he talked with cuban leader raul

3:32 am
hometown of durham, north. i had a chance to talk with her, including people who know her, her father. >> she's going somewhere. >> reporter: retired baptist preacher lorenzo lynch remembers a september afternoon when an old friend called shouting through phone. >> calm down. slow down a little bit. she shouted that eric holder is quitting. >> loretta lynch is an attorney in brooklyn. >> and your daughter is one of the persons in line for his job. i said, well, let me sit down. so i sat down. >> reporter: several weeks later, reverend lynch watched from his small home in durham, north carolina, the president nominate his only daughter, u.s. attorney loretta lynch to become the country's next attorney general. what does that feel like? >> that was encouraging but i knew then we had a fight on her hands.

>> reporter: as a young man in the south, fighting is something reverend lynch did often during the civil rights movement and in local politics. >> she said i take her on my shoulders to attend some of these rallies and some of these marches. so she saw some of it growing up as a youngster. >> reporter: now at 82, lynch says some of the themes of his early struggles were present during his daughter's confirmation hearing in january. >> i heard a lot at that hearing that i've heard since childhood that is the presupposition of the mindset. >> reporter: what is the mindset? >> well, the dual system or the dual treatment. >> reporter: but when asked for examples, no fewer than three times, reverend lynch would not cite specific instances. >> it has taken so long, when it has been so different from any other person who has been nominated, how earth can we
3:34 am
interpret that it is so different? >> reporter: durham activist has known loretta lynch since loretta lynch was a child. >> i don't want to think about epidermis but some people are thinking that was. >> reporter: ahead of the black caucus who told reporters in march i think race can certainly be considered as a major factor in the reason for this delay but it's also the irrationality of the new republicans. illinois senator dick doucher seemingly invoked once image of segregated south in support of the gop. >> loretta lynch, the first african-american woman nominated to be attorney general is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the senate calendar. >> reporter: durham was harshly criticized by arizona senator john mccain. >> it was offensive and unnancy i think he owes this body, miss lynch, and all americans, an apology. >> i thought he should be commended. >> reporter: you think he should
3:35 am
be commended? >> yes. >> reporter: you think that is the appropriate characterization? >> i think it is a poetic strings of what is happened. >> reporter: republican senators adamantly admit a vote is being delayed because lynch is now african-american. instead they say it's part of an ongoing partisan battle and for some a part of a fight over human trafficking bill and for others retaliation for the president's executive actions on immigration. weeks before obama nominated lynch the crunching blog 538 predicted whomever the president nominated would face a tough confirmation hearing in the senate. that's no comfort to supporters across lynch's home state of north carolina who led by the naacp have rallied outside the offices of north carolina's two republican senators richard burn and tom tessis who oppose
3:36 am
lynch's nomination. >> it's time for you to act like you have some sense! and it's past time. you have embarrassed the state of north carolina. >> reporter: through a joint statement released after their meeting, the two senators said they remain concerned about with miss lynch's stated desire to leave the department of justice in the same manner as eric holder and will not be supporting her nomination. >> i believe that if she was clarence thomas, she would be confirmed. >> reporter: reverend william barber is president of the north carolina branch of naacp. >> because of her courage and her character and her commitment are to the law and to the enforcement of the laws of this land, particularly on the 14th and 15th amendments of the constitution and because hef consciousness was shaped in the crucible of the civil rights movement in the south is what they fear. >> reporter: as his daughter's confirmation period moves now into its sixth month, the
3:37 am
reverend is waiting optimistically for the next excited call. >> if she doesn't get confirmed, she has to do something on this level. she will not be finished. she will still be somewhat of a witness, you know, for justice. >> we will have more throughout the morning, of course. meanwhile, the chaos in yemen, we understand, is escalating. several of rebels are dead as saudi arabia continues to pound targets from the air. the boston bomber fighting for his life now. the same jurors who convicted dzhokhar tsarnaev are deciding whether he lives or die. we will take a look ahead. stay close.

new information this morning out of libya. gunman attacked the south koran imp embassey there. >> we have new details this morning in the crisis in yemen. saudi arabian officials say more than 500 houthi rebels have been killed since the start of the air strikes and 1,200 air strikes in two weeks. . on source tells cnn that they are making apache helicopters in some areas. thousands are protesting the military aggression calling it a violation of international law.
3:42 am
let's bring in cnn military analyst retired major general james "spider" marks. good to have you back. >> victor, good morning. >> good morning to you. straight to the point about the potential violation of international law, is that a legitimate claim? >> i would tell you it certainly is but you have to do what you have to do. we have seen violations of international law across the board sadly in the middle east with the collapse of governance, capitals not being able to do what they need to do. so locals and neighbors are taking upon themselves to try to create a little calm amongst all this chaos. so, sure. but then at the end of the discussion, you know, victor what are we going to do? where will this claim go and who is actually going to adjudicate and who is going to listen to it? we need to have a little bit of healthy cynicism if it can't be done internationally it has to be done locally. >> what does this mean for the president hadi?
3:43 am
we see they call it a violation of international law, yet the president, immediately after the president three weeks, ran off to riyadh. do you think he will return to power in yemen? >> it is credible. his ability to reestablish -- if the saudis are successful, along with some of their neighbors -- let's lay out all who is participating in this in yemen -- if they are successful and able to calm what is taking place right now with the huouth and able to push back for the president if he comes back, the president, his credibility in order to reestablish some sort of governance is the big deal. i think what is going to happen there will probably be some type of interim arrangement that allow for hadi to come back and a declaration of a transition which is kind of a model we have seen before. >> in weeks past i've asked do you think the u.s. will get
3:44 am
involved to some greater deal other than the low gistics they are offering now. do you think a role the u.s. could play that would solve this problem or eliminate some of the chaos there? >> great question, victor. i would say the u.s. right now is trying to assert itself in a full some way to get directly to your question which is, look. we, the u.s., can provide intelligence support pretty precisely. we are providing military kit as necessary. we have a long relationship with the saudis. we sell them all sorts of military stuff. so this is a very deep relationship. we want stability in that part of the world. very difficult to achieve. we have had some long relationships with the yemeni government. this is more than just an internal issue, an insurgency that has been in yemen, frankly there in yemen for decades but it has reached a war by proxy
3:45 am
and the united states has to be able to try to achieve an instate that gets some stability there. what the united states is doing right now is all it can. if it put any more aggressive posture and became the leading face of this we have seen what those outcomes look like. we have to be able to have neighbors in the region try to solve this problem but the united states has a very large role to play and i think they are moving in that direction. >> general james "spider" marks, thank you so much. >> thanks, victor. the boston bombing trial enters phase two. now noors ajurors are holding t of dzhokhar tsarnaev in his hands. a man is pulled over by police and the video is going viral now. millions of you have watched it. we will talk to a man who recorded it ahead in the next hour. yeah, i can fix that.

american history is the history of the scary thing being the exact thing we have to do. cross that ocean. walk on that moon. fly. none of this makes rational sense. it only makes american sense. here, the hard things show us who we are. leaving your job to start your own thing. having a kid, when you still feel like a kid. signing a 30-year mortgage on a home. scary sure, but no match for our colossal self belief.

49 minutes past the hour. good morning to you. the boston bombing trial is about to enter phase two. the same jurors who convicted dzhokhar tsarnaev of all 30 counts against him will now decide whether he dies by lethal injection or spends the rest of his life in a prison cell. let's talk about this with criminal analyst joey jackson as we look ahead. good morning to you, joey. >> good morning. >> good morning. each side can calm our witnesses during this phase, we know. what is the possibility, do you think, we would actually hear from czar netsarnaev himself? >> i think you probably will not hear from him. some put out there the older brother was the controller, the manipulator and master mind behind this and how the defense tried this case.
3:51 am
when you put a defendant on the stand to defend themselves they may not be on the same page as the defense attorneys. what if you have a scenario you expose him to the jury with the thought to spare his life and to say something whether he blames it on his brother or goes into the fact his brother was the one who led him around and had so much respect for or maybe he flips the script and wants to become a martyr and he wants to die. you can't control what he says. to that extent a risky proposition and i don't think we will see him. >> it seems you can't control a lot of things with this family. following the verdict, tsarnaev's mother reportedly defended her sons and called americans terrorist. we have to assume some of these jurors could have heard about this comment. how might that affect phase two? >> sure. you would hope that anything that the jury considers is what they have before them in that jury room. now, you have a mitigation
3:52 am
specialist in court and what that means is a federal mitigation is poring over his background to find out who he is and where he group up and who his family history was and who influenced him and controlled him and what are his problems? all of that will be ferreted out by a mitigation specialist. generally, you can call family members, of course, to testify and to talk about who he is. i would, with most certainty, say that mom, given those past comments, will not be on that witness stand and certainly not blaming this upon america and doing those type things. i don't suspect anything that was heard or not heard by this jury during that phase should be considered by them. >> joey jackson, thank you for being with us. >> a pleasure. have a great day. >> you too. hillary clinton's next run for president officially begins in just a few hours we expect, and cnn has obtained a campaign memo outlining her team's goals and how they plan to win.
