♪ utter devastate station. skew wor . the possibility of an isis inspired plot on u.s. soil. this morning, a new alert is out for law enforcement agencies across the nation. plus -- >> i tease joe sometimes. i love that man. we have gotten so close in some places in indiana, they won't serve us pizza any more. >> president obama has saved up some good ones! you know, he is often the butt
3:01 am
of jokes but now the president is taking a chance to hit back and he is taking aim at the media and those who want his job. >> it is 6:00. so glad you're up early with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. always good to be with you. >> we have images of the powerful earth in nepal this morning. a new offshock of 6.7 hit the country and that is something we could call an earthquake on its own. >> close to 2,000 people have been killed. the death toll still rising in nepal. local hospitals are finding it hard to cope with the hundreds of people who are injured or being brought in. the u.s., india, china, pakistan sending aid to the himalayan nation after quake hit the capital kathmandu. tell us more about the search and rescue efforts. although we say the world is now
3:02 am
responding, it's difficult to get the resources, the people, the machinery into the areas that need it the most. >> reporter: absolutely. it is very, very difficult because, as you just mentioned, the aftershock and tremors are still continuing. the tremor you just talked about it, i heard it here two and a half hours ago. where i am is 900 kilometers away from nepal. if you fly from kathmandu to here, it's more than an hour's flight. if we feel the effects here, you can imagine what the situation is there in nepal. the tremors are continuing which makes it very difficult for rescue efforts to carry on there. or for any relief efforts to be flown into the regions. countries are trying. india has been very active in sending planes. yesterday, it sent four planes with relief supplies yesterday
3:03 am
and ten scheduled for today. i am told since it's a 6.7 earthquake, some planes have not been able to land and been turned back. what this means, it is a very, very grim and difficult scenario in nepal where we know the death toll is around 2,000 people now, and looks like it's certainly going to rise. nobody is staying indoors. people scared to be inside their houses. most people in the affected areas have spent the night outside. search and rescue efforts are under way. we believe there are hills of rubble on every street corners and people using their hands to remove the rubble one brick at a time to find survivors. every time they find a survivor there is a loud cry of cheer that goes on, but that is becoming few and far between. most often, they are being able to just pull out bodies. hospitals are overflowing with injured people. many doctors have actually set up hospitals outdoors.
3:04 am
people too scared to be indoors and everyone is living outside under sheets, you know, plastic sheets. people not being able to go home even to cook food so people are camping outside and started kitchens so they can eat together. there is no running water, no electricity. so there is a desperate need for relief efforts for aid to come into nepal but the problem is, of course, how do you get it in there? >> the logistics hugely important here. we saw the number on the screen, 1,958. several dozen fatalities in india. >> so grateful carson can talk to us this morning. we understand new avalanches on the mountains. can you help us understand what the situation is like there right now?
3:05 am
>> at the moment, this morning, before the aftershock, people were being positive. the injured are being helped out. they were getting a little more empty. people started to focusing on the people being stuck in the mountain. but then you have the aftershock and a lot of people are afraid being in the base camp is a risk and people are just leaving base camp. i expect i soon will be the only western climber left in base camp. most people have already left. >> they have left with the sherpas? i'm sorry. i was having a hard time understanding you. are you saying you're one the only ones left on the base camp? >> yeah. i am one the only western climbers left here in the base camp. other climbers and sherpas are
3:06 am
leaving base camp looking for more safety lower. >> looking for safety lower. we understand that there are -- i mean, i've heard the number of hundreds of people still on that mountain. is there any gauge of how many there truly are there? and is this an evacuation of the mountain in a sense? >> that is the tricky part. one of the positive signs this morning was that some sherpas, everything looked fine. weather was clearing. the helicopters came in. and some sherpas were trying to find the new route going up and some sherpas that were stuck up on the mountain were trying to walk down to see if they could reach each other and find a new road through a fault. but i have not heard any news on that so far. >> we are looking at some of the pictures here of, i would say, i guess, the rescues and the evacuation. it's amazing to see how the
3:07 am
helicopters are able to land, to see the pictures of this avalanche. i can hear in your voice. it sounds as though your breathizing a bit labored, but are you afraid, carston? >> i should be. maybe. i've been caught in the avalanche but i think luckily hiding -- [ inaudible ] most of the people who are injured were -- avalanche and got hit from behind and thrown off by the pressure of the avalanche and thrown into rocks, so a lot of people came down and [ inaudible ] in the back -- by the avalanche. >> carston, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today.
3:08 am
take care of yourself and stay safe. you and all of the folks there. we know it's snowing during the week. the weather has complicated the efforts and people are still stranded. >> it is snowing. >> it is snowing? >> it is snowing. no more helicopters. no more helicopters coming. so the people on the mountain are stuck and unless there is a -- [ inaudible ] no way to get to them and they are running out of fuel. sent more fuel up to them, yeah, this morning we sent more fuel up to them. not only for heating but also to melt snow to get water, so it's getting critical up there and i'm staying in this until my -- is down. >> i was going to ask how long you plan to stay. until your fellow climbers are down. carston, we will be thinking of you and keeping you all in our prayers. thank you so much and keep us posted and take care of everybody else as best you can. that is the situation.
3:09 am
thanks to carston peterson who is a climber on everest and it is remarkable what they are able to do on that kind of terrain but you can see how everybody is scrambling there so we thank him very much. as we give you a closer look now to the destruction in nepal from this horrendous earthquake. you see the people there screaming and running but we have heard reports of people just staring at piles of rubble from buildings that will crumble to the ground. this video was taken by a group calling themselves the nepali pranksters. homes and villages jurvcrumbled around them and villages and churches and temples are just flat. you can help the victims of the nepal earthquake. you sit there and wonder and think i want to do something but i don't know what. logon to cnn.com/intact to see

3:11 am
publicly recently, there are active investigations in all 50 states right now with al qaeda or isis-inspired plots that are potentially under way or at least people are talking about conducting such a plot. so those investigates by the hundreds are ongoing. so why, all of a sudden, one, we hear chatter, we hear this or that, why that would get out like that? i really don't know. because if they have enough information to go after, they will go after that group. to put out there is chatter, there is always chatter and always discussion and always discussion people talk to each other worldwide and encryptive systems that cannot be tapped into. this is a constant drum beat of threats against the world, not just our country. >> from what i understand, cnn's evan perez confirmed it through his sources in federal law enforcement that justice department. there was actually no official
3:12 am
statement or no confirmation in front -- >> you can confirm those kind of reports every day of the week. >> because there is always chatter. >> yeah. there is always. why this one a little more than others, you know, it might be. they might have a case with a little bit more specific chatter of an individual group or a number of people. again, this is all the time. there is every day of the week you, you know, we could come out and say threats are under way and there are. >> i hope we learn more. it's one of those situations damn if you do, damn if you don't. if you say something like this, the question is why is it so vague and if you do attack and don't say nothing, they say why didn't you learn more. tom fuentes, thank you so much. >> you're welcome, victor. in several hours, family and friends will gather to say good-bye to freddie gray in baltimore. this, of course, a day after major protests and at least a dozen arrests. we are going to have a live report for you straight ahead.

3:51 am
>> hln legal analyst joey jackson is joining us now. why have those court ordered documents not been released? >> in terms of them not being released, you always want to ensure there is a fair trial here. there is a jury pool there. ovenleds if the contents were disclosed it's something the jury could be prejudiced by. i suspect because his mental health is at issue in this case, we are going to learn a lot about his mental health and whether or not he was legitimately sustained in the weeks and perhaps months ahead in colorado. >> one of the witnesses to this there was saying he has no right to go into that courtroom looking sad. how much does his demeanor play into this? and do you believe that there is true insanity in this man based
3:52 am
on what you know thus far? >> interestingly enough, his defense attorneys were always instructing our client in terms of how they should behave, what they should do and what they shouldn't do and how they should look because it's important and a jury evaluates everything. but ultimately, of course, you would hope that the jury is persuaded by what they hear on the witness stand, what they see visually in terms of the video, what they hear in terms of the audio, the various forensic reports and everything that is in, that should really guide their judgment here. in terms of whether he was insane or not, that is the larger question. of course, the prosecutors are going to have to prove sanity. it's interesting in colorado because the burden of proof rests with the prosecution to prove he was sane, unmany other jurisdictions, where the defense has the burden of proving he was insane. an interesting shift there. i think, you know, based upon what he did, certainly the defense has a shot at it, but there is a lot of premeditation that the prosecution has to work with. >> it is an interesting shift with the prosecution having the
3:53 am
burden there. with that said, we are talking about a state here, colorado, that hasn't executed anyone in almost two decades. do you think that the death penalty is going to come no play here? >> here is why i think it's a very difficult challenge. since 1977, put another way, right? two decade, they haven't executed anybody but since 1977 only executed one. when you factor that into 9 supreme court, the supreme court says you cannot put to death someone who is mentally disabled in any way. i think based upon the appeals that may come from that, i think there may be challenges to it, but i think the prosecution has a very compelling case. we saw nick valencia's very good piece on this, we saw there's some strong and hard feelings as there should be based on the horrific nature of this act. the trial will be bifurcated, the jury will decide whether he is guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity and if they

determine he is guilty it moves to the next phase, the death penalty phase. each this they conclude he should get death, the larger question is based on appeals, will he actually be sentenced to death if the jury so finds? >> right, right. good point. joey jackson, always good to hear your perspective. thank you. >> have a great day. breaking news on the earthquake in nepal. new aftershocks have triggered avalanches and rock falling on mt. everest and climbers are trapped and helicopters are running out of fuel in the last couple of minutes, the death toll has been increased again. we will have those numbers and more for you in a moment. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients

who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. with harvoni, there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, or other medical conditions. and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. harvoni should not be taken with any medicines containing amiodarone, rifampin, or st. john's wort. it also should not be taken with any other medicine that contains sovaldi. side effects may include tiredness and headache. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you. new york state is reinventing by leading the way on tax cuts. we cut the rates on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. . expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years.
