in the united states. these stories coming up this hour. hello, i'm natalie allen. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom. and we start this hour with a remembrance. something happening right now. we have live pictures from armenia where a memorial is taking place to honor the armenians who perished in mass killings during world war i. what a stunning picture that is right there. it began a century ago today, these killings. the anniversary is marked by a canned diization ceremony for victims and a convert later in the day. in a few minutes, we will have a retrospective of what happened

100 years ago today. other news we are following, the white house is ak knoll jing a fatal mistake pap drone strike in pakistan back in january accidentally killed two hostages held by al qaeda. they are american born weinstein on the left in the sweater and italian giovanni. president barack obama apologized to the men's families. >> as president and as commander-in-chief i take full responsibility for all our counterterrorism operations, including the one that inadvertently took the lives of warren and giovanni. i profoundly regret what happened. on behalf of the united states government, i offer our deepest apologies to the families. >> cnn has new details on the efforts to free the american

captive warren weinstein in the time leading up to his tragic death. joining me now live from bangkok, you followed his story from his captivity and efforts to get him freed for many years. >> yes. when i spoke to one of the negotiators involved in speaking with warren weinstein's captors, he expressed his shock and his grief to hearing this news from the president of the united states saying we were so close to another proof of life, from the captors. we really can't believe that we're hearing this. and he told me that last proof of life came last june in 2014 when warren weinstein was allowed a phone call with his wife, elaine. and that was the last time, according to him, there was proof of life. they were hoping for more and he felt that the captors were,

would be willing to release warren weinstein, but the changes kept coming. first they asked for money. they asked for hefty ransom. then they changed that to wanting the release of al qaeda figures in exchange for warren weinstein. that's when things became complicated. but the lines of communication he told me were open, one-way remind you. he went able to contact them. they would always contact him. great grief, of course. and his family expressed their grief both at the mistake by the u.s. drone strike, the pakistani government for what they said isn't doing enough, and of course the captors of warren and giovanni. natalie? >> yes. i was reading that. president obama's phone call to mr. weinstein's wife was one of the most difficult things

reportedly that he's had do in his administration. what more are we hearing from pakistan about this that has happened? certainly the american drone warfare taking place in pakistan is not something that they liked at all. >> yeah, you know, natalie, when we use the word difficult, it's interesting here. awful might be another word too. the united states was refusing to acknowledge it was carrying out drone strikes for years. now we have two people, an american and an italian, killed by accident by drone strike. so the united states government and president obama having to rather embarrassing not only admit that but apologize and an activist now pointing out that this is not the first time drone strikes have gone wrong. there have been a number of innocent victims throughout this

drone war over the years since 9/11. you see, cnn and myself, covering exclusively the visit of the u.n. special raffle, human rights, visit to pakistan to investigate innocent victims killed in drone strikes. and we are now hearing from a lot of activists saying it is time the u.s. apologizes for others killed in this war, too. natalie? >> we thank you, sima for us out of bangkok on this story. let's bring in former cia operative bob bear, currently cnn intelligence and security analyst. he joins us live from california. bob, thanks for being with us. this attack after drone by the cia was ordered after hundreds of hours of surveillance. you were in the cia. how could they not know these two hostages were there? >> well, natalie, the problem is our intelligence in the tribal areas where the strike occurred

is abysmal. we can watch it from the air, from drones, from satellites. there is some cell coverage. but it is only a part of the story of what goes in that -- you know, the u.s. cannot send up agents up there, operatives, and in a strike like this, you should have some sort of ground intelligence, video from outside the house. at the end of the day, with these satellites, you can't see into a house. apparently these hostages were not walked around at night or even during the day. they couldn't be seen. and you know, this accident, an accident like this, and it was ata terrible accident like this is almost inevitable. it is called a signature strike. you find a suspect compound. you look at it, consider whether they are al qaeda or not. and whether you know the names or not, the white house signs off, and that's what happened. >> i read a drone strike can't

be authorized unless there is a near certainty there won't be civilian casualties. but as you say, if there isn't ground intelligence, how is that near certainty figured out? >> i think this administration and the last administration is trying to portray drone strikes as the perfect weapon. substitute for american forces. but clearly it's not. i think this is a horrible setback for the white house. these signature strikes. we don't know we are killing americans. who do we know we are killing on the ground. when they do a reappraisal this, i would imagine the whole drone campaign is going to slow ray way down and possibly go away. you have to consider that war on terror cannot be won from the air. it's a political war as well as military war. >> it certainly has been controversial. we will wait and see what comes out of this. thank you so much, bob baer, for

joining us. despite what is feared as the worst migrant tragedy ever in the mediterranean illegal crossings have not stopped. the italian coast guard released video showing the rescue of more than 200 people on wednesday for many of these migrants, this treacherous search for a better life begins off the shores of libya. cnn's senior international correspondent nick paton walsh has a report from tripoli. we worn you, some of nick's video in this story is disturbing. >> reporter: europe's migrant problem seems small from the libyan coast. these navy pictures showing the volume of those they save or stop and even how this man was pulled to safety above his sunken boat. yet there are also those beyond rescue. 70 killed in this one episode.

bodies often without names or pasts. adding to a toll that's hard to count properly. many fleeing wars that refuse to stop. when asked how to solve an almost unsolvable problem many european politicians suggest destroying boats that smugglers use but in a coastal country withsome lives dependent upon the sea, where frankly would you start? >> outside tripoli, 350 migrants are held here for it must seem like forever. a third here, all officials say detained trying to cross to europe. they denied that and just want to go home. >> now what i need, i want if they want to deport people and deport people. if they want to deport people, let them leave. >> does your family know where you are? >> no. >> what do they think happened to you? >> i died.

i don't know. >> among them, so many pregnant women we're told because women choose to cross like that hoping their child is born in europe. this somali woman's journey to libya took seven months. her baby born just a week after she was arrested trying to cross. she told us when she got on the boat she knew she was in trouble but had no choice but to go on. the prison admitted there is no system in place to send these people home or jail them or let them go. live for them so hellish, they were willing to risk it to flee. seeing them here, caught between countries tra that don't want them. cnn, tripoli. >> can certainly understand their desperation for a better late. for more on this crisis, lead to cnn.com. there is a firsthand account from one refugee smuggled into

europe. his dangerous journey and why he said he would do it again. >> in baltimore, maryland, at least two people taken into custody as protesters upset over the death of freddy grace scuffled thursday evening with police. gray, 25-year-old african-american man died sunday in police custody. watch as cnn captured one confrontation earlier from the protest. >> here just got another man. we're being -- >> we will get more on the latest developments from cnn's broi an todd. he's there in baltimore. >> not letting up in their show of anger, determined to stay on streets and on message, protesters pressuring for protest for freddy gray. anger of african-american leaders, some critical of mayor

stephanie rawlings blake for not more outrage over freddy's death. >> to be overly cautious, overly calm. as i said earlier, if we're calm, something is wrong with our psyche. this is not something for us to be calm about. >> saying this is her record in this that counts. >> screaming and yelling isn't going to get the gray family answers they are looking for. screaming and yelling isn't going to get the police department to change their culture as we have seen under this administration p. this is about getting results and answers. >> african-american leaders are also turning their ang are toward police commissioner anthony bats. >> he has been complicit and allowed for the culture of police brutality to grow in this city to the height it has grown. >> an investigation by the baltimore sun found the city paid out more than $6 million since 2011 to settle lawsuits

alleging police plis conduct. no immediate comment from bats to the criticism of him but one police official said the department has undergone extensive retraining. >> our officers are exonerated in most of the cases. they are settled out of court because it is cheaper just to give money away and then it is all over with. >> mayor rawlings blake and current police officials say under their watch lawsuits against the police for police misconduct have gone way down but the baltimore sun reports the city is still paying out many of those lawsuits spending $255,000 just over the past two weeks. brian todd, cnn, baltimore. >> in the u.s. state of indiana, a high school musical performance came to a sudden and violent end. take a look. ♪ ♪

>> nearly two dozen students were injured when the stage just collapsed during a school performance near indianapolis. at least one student was critically injured. >> everybody was singing. it was the last song and you just hear this huge bang. then all the students disappear. and we just like, was it planned. and then silence. and then everybody just started screaming. >> there was this one girl who had nails in her leg. she was being taken out on a stretcher and stuff. and another girl with a dislocated leg. it was bad. >> reports say the student performance gathered on the stage for the last song of their concert when the platform collapsed. tragedy. you're watching cnn newsroom. when we come back, it has been silent for almost 50 years. but now, this volcano erupts. not once, but twice, in just 24

being recognized. for many today is a day of remembrance. coming to armenia and those in turkey and retracing roots for armenians and it is a painful and difficult journey especially when so many of them say what they really want is justice. the music is haunting for those who don't understand the lyric he as it is for those for whom the suffering has no words. the concert, one of many events commemorating a horror of a century ago. the descendants of those who perished then among the audience. for decades, many of the

armenians who survived and stayed in turkey kept their true identity a secret. among them, a grandmother. >> she was nine during the 1915 genocide. she was taken from our family and raised muslim. >> reporter: she did not know her true heritage until she was in her 20s. >> translator: my first reaction was shock, total shock. we did not know anything about the 1915 reality. this information was hidden from us in school. i today stop myself from going out to the streets and screaming the truth. >> reporter: as the empire crumbled, more than 1.5 million armenians died. some were brutally massacred. others sent on a march through the desert to their death. generations later, their tragedy remains embroiled in an intense debate over calling it a genocide.

the turkish state rejects that it was a genocide. saying there were hundreds of thousands of christians and muslims killed during that bloody world war i era. but society today is changing. >> that is the passport that the family used to escape. it was a kind of family passport so my grant father is the one in the far left. >> reporter: a brazilian are a meany photographer spent four years taking those images, about to go on display in istanbul. >> we tried to find his quarters, his house. >> reporter: his grandparents all survivors of 1915. his grand father a photographer himself. the black and whites taken with his camera. >> the decision to bring his

camera was to bring his eyes to his hometown. >> reporter: coming in search of stones and walls, of armenian buildings that would tell the secrets within in. the stub around shells that refused to be completely destroyed. >> if it was a plan of ex termination, it failed. but yes, the emptiness, power of emptiness, you know, that is a lot of power in that emptiness and in the sadness. >> a power that today continue be denied. a power that is driving the quest for justice. and reconciliation. and natalie, later tond, turkey will also be hosting a numerous number of heads of state and not to commemorate the armenian massacre, gu to commemorate the battles, the timing of that, something that would normally be

taking place on the 25th of this no, tomorrow. the fact that turkish commemorations. today something that some are a meana mean armenians feel is a deliberate to draw attention away from the 100 years of the armenian massacre. but that commemoration for the battle of the bloody battles of set to begin later on today h here in turkey, natalie. >> yes, it is kind of questionable. the sensitivity of holding it on the same day that the armenians remember all their losses. arwa, thank you for your reporting. if you would like to read more about the armenian massacre of 1915 and why it hasn't been widely recognized by other countries as genocide, log on to cnn.com. you can read more about it. relatives of the convicted boston bomber are now in boston. arriving thus in the middle of his sentencing trial. local media are reporting
