because that is not journalism. >> i look so old, john boehner has already invited netanyahu to speak at my funeral. >> whenever a big story breaks, i did turn to cnn and watch anthony bourdain to eat a cricket. >> they have found a fool-proof way to keep people off my lawn. there he is. >> just make sure you got a little smile in today. thank you so much for starting your day with us. >> we have a lot coming up in the next hour of "new day," and it starts right now. new aftershocks shake nepal and, now, the latest number. more than 2,200 people confirmed dead. hospitals and emergency centers so overrun, a lot of people are forced to treat patients outside. the situation on mt. everest is just frightening.
4:01 am
at least 17 people killed in avalanches and rockfalls on both slopes. the snow flattening part of one of the camps there. >> rough storms roll through parts of alabama and kentucky and millions more under a weather threat today from the plains to the gulf coast. good morning. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christi paul. the new aftershock in nepal of 6.7 rocked the himalayan nation after a deadly earthquake of 7.8 magnitude that hit the capital kathmandu. more than 2,200 people killed just in nepal. the latest number we have just gotten in a couple of minutes ago. of course, it's expected to rise as rescue and relief efforts are continuing through the day. thousands of people are injured. hospitals are overflowing. and people spent the night outside in the rain and the cold as aftershocks continue, because they were too afraid to go inside buildings.
4:02 am
the u.s. and india and china are sending basic supplies, food, water, tents and medicine to the victims. >> our cnn correspondent is following the story for us. mallika, there was a 6.7 aftershock. did you feel that aftershock? >> reporter: victor and chris ti. they are compg ing here to helpe relief victims because the aftershocks and tremors continue. a major aftershock, 6.7 on the richter scale which is like an earthquake in itself. i am in 900 kilometers away from nepal. if you had to fly from kathmandu to here it would take you an hour and we felt the aftershock here. you can imagine how bad the situation is with nepal.
4:03 am
with every hour the need for relief and rescue efforts is getting more severe. people in nepal are too scared to go in their houses and too scared to be indoors. many camping outside and many spent the night in football fields overnight. they are setting up make-shift clinics on the road and treating people outside. people are running short of food so people are gathering whatever food they had and creating communal kitchens outside. no access to power. they are running short when it comes to food and water as well. so there is definitely a strong and urgent need for help, but the problem is how to get the help in there. i'm also hearing, within the last two hours, some planes that were scheduled to land in nepal carrying relief supplies have had to turn back because the runway was forced to shut down a bit following this latest tremor. there is an urgent need for help
4:04 am
but help can't get in there fast enough. >> mallika, thanks. let's bring in bahimira who lives in kathmandu and witnessed the earthquake. can you help us understand what it's like there right now? can you help us understand, mr. bahimira, what is it like there right now during these aftershocks? >> now i am here in kathmandu. have lots of problems here. yesterday, we have 7.8 -- now we
4:05 am
get 6.7, bigger. one of the biggest -- about that -- earthquake -- now -- and, today, impact [ inaudible ] lots of people gathering in one place. >> i'm sorry, i think we are having some attatechnical probl and you're not coming in very clearly. we thank you so much. we are glad you're well and able to talk to us as we look at the pictures of devastation as people pulling things up brick-by-brick by their hand as they try to get to the people they love and in the buildings
4:06 am
and the rubble that is left. thank you. we hope you all get a good sense of what they are dealing with there via the pictures we have gotten into cnn. two americans we know, by the way, were killed in avalanches on mt. everest following the earthquake. a google executive and a base camp doctor, both families announced their deaths on social media. now, remember, you can help the victims of the nepal earthquake. i know a lot of times we look at these images and feel like we want to do something and don't know what to do. just go to cnn.com/impact and you'll find more information what you can do there. and thank you for checking. protests in baltimore, they started off peacefully but ended like this and a dozen people were arrested after these protests turned violent. this in response to the death of freddie gray. rallies were held one week after
4:07 am
gray died from a spinal injury while in the custody of baltimore city police. as a result of escalating protesters, people were asked to stay inside the orioles game as they put a message up on the jumbotron. >> a wake is scheduled for freddie gray today and funeral services for tomorrow. polo sandoval, let's bring him in. first tell us about the services today. >> reporter: good morning. i can tell you the visitation scheduled 1:00 to 6:00 for freddie gray and the funeral at 11:00 and both taking place in west baltimore which is essentially where freddie gray grew up. the family here want to go allow friends, neighborhoods and the public to be able to walk to the services and, at the same time, we are also getting a better idea of what may actually take place during that funeral yesterday on this very spot, i had an opportunity to speak to a
4:08 am
reverend jamaal bryant who will be delivering the eulogy and i asked him about the tone he'll be tag. he says he plans to include the call for activism and peace and healing and it's crucial after last night's wave of violence. >> reporter: the streets of baltimore, maryland didn't stay quiet saturday. a day of peaceful demonstrations erupted in violence. angry agitators destroyed several police cars, smashing in windows, slashing tires and making off with some of the contents. merchandise scattered on the floor of this 7-eleven, all evidence of looting. shards of shattered glass is all that remain of other downtown store fronts. despite all of the violence -- police which are praised the residents of baltimore in a late night press conference. >> i'm very proud of the residents of baltimore taking pride in their city and making sure our city is safe and putting themselves before agitating individuals that were
4:09 am
causing harm here. that was our residents, that is our city. >> we will fight for freddie gray! >> reporter: at least a dozen protesters were pulled from the crowd and taken away. commissioner the commissioner says the violence was called by a small group of agitators. >> i am, to a degree, disappointed. we work very hard to allow people to do the protests. the vast majority of residents out here did a good job. it's just a small number of people who felt they had to turn this into an ugly event and ugly day. for the most part, people did what they were supposed to do. >> reporter: the skirmish followed the largest demonstration since the death of freddie gray one week ago who suffered a fatal spine injury while in the custody of baltimore pd. gray's death is triggering a slew of questions and outrage. his family continues to ask for peace. >> my family want to say we are pleased, pleased that freddie gray would not want there.
4:10 am
freddie father and mother does not want nobody. violence does not equal justice. thank you. >> reporter: the streets of baltimore are quiet this morning. gray's family hoping it stays that way, at least for the next two days, as they get ready to say good-bye. a final note. we know at least 12 people were detained yesterday as a result of those protests. we expect an update in the hours ahead and that number could potentially go higher. >> polo sandoval, thank you so much. a big week at the supreme court. the justices taking up the constitutionality of same-sex marriage. we will take a look at the debate over that issue. some of the big zingers and liners. funny time at the white house correspondents dinner. no one was off limits. not cnn. not the president. after six years in office, your approval rating is at 48%. not only that, your gray hair is at 85%. your hair is so white now, it can talk back to the police.

we alwith a shout,world and we see no reason to stop. so cvs health is creating industry-leading programs and tools that help people stay on medicines as their doctors prescribed. it could help save tens of thousands of lives every year. and that would be something worth shouting about. cvs health, because health is everything. people ship all kinds of things. but what if that thing is a few hundred thousand doses of flu vaccine. that need to be kept at 41 degrees. while being shipped to a country where it's 90 degrees. in the shade. sound hard? yeah. does that mean people in laos shouldn't get their vaccine? we didn't think so. from figuring it out to getting it done, we're here to help.

it is 13 minutes past the hour right now supreme court is make a major decision this week. >> the supreme court will decide whether or not the same-sex couples have the right to get married. sudlen is live in washington for us. everything involving the supreme court has some historic relevantry, but this one especially so. >> reporter: this is a key case. on tuesday, the court will start hearing over two hours of oral arguments on one of the biggest civil rights issues facing the country today. the question before the supreme court, do same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry? at issue? a lower court decision that upheld same-sex marriage bans in michigan, ohio, tennessee, and kentucky. just two years ago in a major gay rights case, supreme court
4:15 am
ruled same-sex couples already legally married had the right to receive federal benefits but it dodged central questions. on tuesday, the justices will face them head-on, can states ban same-sex marriages and do states have to recognize lawful marriages from other states? those who are pushing for legalization of same-sex marriage nationwide say state bans violate equal protection under the law. >> this is case about couples who have been together for years and all they want to express their love and commitment together in front of friends and family. that is a basic american concept and no reason they should be treated differently than other people. >> reporter: john burrch will say the state bans should remain the same. >> is it the people through the democratic process where this issue has always been decided or is it the court's? and it's the position of the states that the people get to decide. >> reporter: 37 states in washington, d.c. now allow
4:16 am
same-sex marriage and cnn polling shows support is growing two an all-time high. five years ago, 49% of americans saw same-sex marriage as being a constitutionally protected right. now that number has jumped to 63%. if the court allows same-sex couples to marry nationwide, the impact will be far reaching and could affect adoption proceedings and birth certificates and survivor benefits and the court is expected to rule by the end of june. >> thank you, sunlen. millions of people are under a severe weather threat this morning. >> yeah, these storms have left the path of destruction in three states. kentucky is one of them. you're looking at the destruction there. we have the latest for you in a moment. seeing memphis grizzlies star jeff green in action, it's

clear he is a player with heart. in 2011 his game was interrupted. >> i was in complete shock. >> reporter: a routine team physical revealed an aortic aneurysm near the left valve of his heart. jeff, who was 25 at the time, needed surgery. >> it was nerve wrecking. i couldn't run. i couldn't touch a basketball. i couldn't get stressed out. it was tough. >> reporter: and rebounding from open-heart surgery that wasn't easy either. jeff didn't touch a basketball for nearly six months. he lost muscle and the mechanics of his game. >> it was a slow progression. my body was different. the timing was off. i was fatigued. i wasn't concerned about getting hit. the biggest thing for me was just being in shape and being able to function out there on the floor. >> reporter: the experience did give jeff a greater appreciation for basketball. >> now i attack every game as this could be my last. >> reporter: it also gave him a greater appreciation for life. he often visits young heart patients, providing encouragement and to compare

scars. >> to see me come back from the heart surgery, to see me out there playing and they look up to that. i look forward to that and they love it. so, you know, i'm going to continue to do it. >> reporter: dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting. i've lived my whole life here in fairbanks, alaska. i love the outdoors, spending time with my family. i have a family history of prostate cancer. i had the test done and that was when i got the news. my wife and i looked at treatment options. cancer treatment centers of america kept coming up on the radar. so we flew to phoenix. greg progressed excellently. we proceeded to treat him with hormonal therapy, concurrent with intensity modulated radiation therapy to the prostate gland. go to cancercenter.com to learn more about our integrative therapies and how they're specifically designed to keep you strong mentally, physically and spiritually throughout your treatment.

white house cyberattack last year but now reports indicate that russians were able to reach the president's messages after accessing e-mail archives of people he regularly communicated with. the white house officials say that none of the e-mails, the information hacked was classified. tomorrow, james holmes is expected to stand trial for his role in the 2012 colorado theater movie massacre. he has pleaded not guilty. but the prosecution is after the state's highest punishment for holmes, the death penalty. republicans senator ted cruz went after democrats this weekend. cruz, who joined eight other presidential candidates and potential contenders on the stage at the iowa faith and freedom summit, argued that democrats have become so extreme and intolerant of religious views, quote, there is no room for christians in today's

democratic party, unquote. who has urged the audience to fall on their knees to pray ahead of supreme court's upcoming ruling on same-sex marriage s. a new round of stormy weather threatening the southern plains today and a day after storms left a trail of destruction across the southeast. you got strong winds. they knocked down trees, power lines, homes damaged here. look at this. this is in kentucky from yesterday. >> also some pictures from florida and in alabama, severe weather cap-sized sail boats during a regatta there. official say one person is dead and five others are still missing this morning. meteorologist ivan cabrera is with us now. who is in the target range today? >> i first want to talk about what happened yesterday, because this is worrysome. they knew the thunderstorms were can go and if they didn't get word out to cancel it but this
4:24 am
is avoidable. this is why we have radar and alerts to put out in place. look at that lightning there. that will hit cap size your boat. mobile bay everything is sloshed around there. unnecessary. that is is what happened yesterday. now look at all of these storm reports from yesterday that extended from mobile bay west of houston and then east as we have been talking about across the southeast and then we had this batch of thunderstorm activity that produced significant damage and even the report of one tornado touched down. national weather service will be out there to survey that today. we have thunderstorm activity for the southeast today. i don't think these will be severe. in fact, most of the action i think will be south of jacksonville. this is the area we are going to have to watch by later this afternoon from san antonio up to austin, dallas, extending up into oklahoma city. the potential for severe storms means damaging winds potential and straight line wind damage, more than tornadoes i'm thinking here but we are going to be looking at that nasty line beginning to form between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. with this upper low.
4:25 am
you see that spinning there? that is going to bring snow to the higher ef eer elevations th. then monday the threat continues for dallas but pushes and extends towards the east to include new orleans for more showers and storms. straight line wind and large hail and frequent lightning so we will watch for that. >> i know it's higher elevations but when you said snow, victor and i looked at each other and went -- >> snow in late april? >> snow in april and snow in the sierra in california which they need because of the drought. >> that's true. ivan, thank you. the situation in nepal, we have watched the last 24 hours or so, but it is rapidly changing this morning. new aftershocks. one this morning as strong as 6.7 hitting the region. we have got the latest on the efforts to get help to the people there, although the roads look like this. how do you do it? they are struggling. we will talk posterimore about a decision on whether brian williams will return to the anchor desk could be eminent

4:29 am
♪ coming up at the bottom of the hour now. let's talk more about this breaking news this morning. the situation in nepal. top emergency official says the next 72 hours will be critical. >> the death toll is still rising, as much of the capital kathmandu is lying in ruins from the monster 7.82 earthquake yesterday. update out the number now. it is 2,263 people that are known to be dead and likely that number is going to continue to
4:30 am
go even higher as rescue teams still haven't been able to reach remote villages that almost certainly were devastated by the quake. >> homes, businesses, temples crumble to the ground when this quake struck. roads, we saw a crack there in half. stunned survivors. for a while, just stared in disbelief. something like this hasn't happened in decades. the aftershocks continue. three dozen or on more of them to hit one of them at 6.7 striking nepal just a few hours ago. let's get more on the aid efforts with us. via skype is anne peterson, the senior vice president of global affairs for americares. thank you for joining us this morning, anne, with what you're sending and the difficulties of getting it to the areas that need it most. >> well, we have done this a few times before. americare has responded to many of the recent large disasters
4:31 am
from indonesia and it is always difficult getting in and that is part of the coordinated response. americare is a global disaster and relief organization, so our key items that we try and get in is medical supplies and medicines. so we actually have teams of medical doctors in india and prepositioned million supplies already. they have gone in during our night, the day time in india and nepal, and will be arriving. we also have here in stanford about 20,000 pounds container loads of medical supplies and medicines that will be enlisting everyone's support to get across the word to nepal as quickly as possible. and i would concur with all of your other guests that the next few days, hours, are doing for the benefit really critical.
4:32 am
we need to find the people and then they are going to have very significant injuries. they will need the medical supplies and need medical help. one of the other things that americare does, the hospital and clinics are also damaged by the disaster so identifying which ones are safe and fixing the ones that need to be repaired so those that are injured can get critical aid is one of the first priorities. >> we have heard reports that these hospitals are underwhelmed and having to triage outside of these hospitals, the ones that are still standing there in kathmandu and in other areas of the country. are you getting responses or reports back from the personnel working there with and for americare with what they are seeing on the ground? >> i haven't heard from them yet this morning. it's nighttime there and early
4:33 am
morning for us. i know we have got the first wave of supplies into nepal and that they are doing both the assessment and getting it out. we expect that -- we are very careful about which supplies we bring in. kathmandu will be overrun with supplies, people, et cetera. so it's key to make sure that what you bring in is really what they most need, and so we have triaged our own warehouse medical supplies to bring in medicines, the fluid replacement is going to be absolute key for a people who have what we call fresh injuries from the earthquake. >> unfortunately, these tragedies happen and we are so grateful that people like you and groups like americare are ready to respond and such a large way for people who need it. anne peterson, thank you for joining us this morning. >> you're welcome. thank you. some of the most riveting pictures we are getting are from mt. everest. we know this morning 17 people
4:34 am
died when yesterday's earthquake triggered avalanches all around them there on mt. everest. this is what climbers at the base camp heard and saw. we had a guest who was there and shared this with us. >> they came down, they were large and mass avalanches. when it impacted base camp there was quite a cloud that was rock. we all ducked to cover until the cloud passed and then started dealing with the aftermath. we were lucky. all of nepal is hit pretty hard. we are lucky we have great helicopters coming in this this
4:35 am
morning. one guy helped us last year and they are doing a fantastic job getting the critical guys down. as long as our ceiling stays high and get the choppers in, we will get the guys down the hill. right now, we are all in groups and moving guys. we have taken all of our tents and turned them all into field hospitals and as the choppers come in, we have made a helipad and as the choppers get close, we are working in groups and we are getting these critical guys up to the helicopters and loading them in and getting them out. everybody is pitching in. fantastic team effort. all of the teams that are still around are pitching in, but we have a lot of snow yesterday. and it's tough conditions, but it's getting done. it's a good team effort up here. we were in shifts last night. yesterday was a long day. just trying to get everybody into our camp. our camp is taking care of the
4:36 am
injured but last night, we took two-hour shifts, so everybody got some sleep. most of us did. >> let's go to cnn's mallika in india right now. with we talked about what happened a while ago, the 6.7 aftershock, did you feel that one as well? >> reporter: we did. i am in 900 kilometers away from kathmandu. to put it in context, if we had to fly from here to nepal, the flight time would be an hour. so we are that far away. we felled it here in calcutta. many stood outside because they were terrified what might happen next. you can imagine how severe the quake must have been in nepal. this, of course, is having a serious impact on rescue and relief operations. it is affecting emergency crews who are trying to get into nepal. within the last hour, i've heard
4:37 am
of two flights that were trying to get into nepal but couldn't land. we had colleagues on one flight. one flight of the indian government was sending into nepal to bring back indian citizens who are stuck and stranded in nepal and my colleague was telling us that they were circling around kathmandu airport 45 minutes but not allowed to land because of these aftershocks and they had to come right back. i know somebody who was on another flight which was carrying several international aid agency workers and carrying relief supplies. they, too, they sat on the tarmac in new delhi airport three hours and told their flight was cancelled as a result of these tremors and these aftershocks, so they really are hampering relief and rescue efforts which are desperately needed in nepal and the need is growing greater by the hour. >> mallika kapur, thank you so much. we will see you at the top of the hour. appreciate it. embellishments from his pass

course, until august after he apologized for claiming he was in a helicopter that was shot by rocket fire during the iraq war. since then, lester holt has taken over nbc "nightly news" but the investigation is not over. brian steltar has been keeping an investigation into brian williams. they said here, ten instances thus gnfar. what does this investigation find? >> it's still ongoing. nbc have not said if they are going to release it. "the new york times" and "the washington post" reported this investigation had found several new instances that have not been publicly disclosed and i was able to confirm some of this yesterday. we know a big meeting was held this week with the ceo of him to be briefed on this findings. taken together awful these are indications this is moving to a new phase with brian williams. almost three months since he was suspended. a stunning fall from grace for one of america's most beloved
4:43 am
news anchors. the question is whether nbc feels they can reinstate him to the chair and a very open question right now. feel there is increasing pressure to make a decision well before that august deadline where he is supposed to be returning to work but this morning, the "los angeles times" said they will not make up their mind for five weeks. especially all of nbc remain in limbo. a very bad situation to be in. >> a lot of people saying, you know, it puts lester at really awkward position as well. >> it does. >> but this whole scandal, i mean, it has become a butt of jokes, even at the correspondents dinner last night. take a listen to this. >> right, right, yeah. here we are at aaron shock's own dinosaur island! here we are after hunting the dinosaurs. but -- wait. who is that? brian williams? you weren't there! what are you doing? you rascal!
4:44 am
>> it's almost nervous laughter. >> brian williams is about people joking of him being in places. because this is the talk of the tv industry, there definitely was nervous laughter last night. brian williams new boss was in the room but brian williams was not there at the dinner last night. he hasn't been able to defend himself. nbc hasn't let him publicly compliment. this has hurt morale to nbc and done damage to the network. internally, people want a resolution in this case. i have seen data that shows nbc's reputation as a network has recovered from the blow it took a couple of months ago. i think that goes to show that, you know, i'm an anchor, you're an anchor. i think anchors matter and i think viewers watch people and they like to watch specific anchors. that said, big networks are more important as a whole than any individual person. the fact that nbc has been able to rebound a bit and been able to hold on to most of their viewers goes to show that nbc might be able to let brian williams go and not take another
4:45 am
blow. do you know what i mean? >> how easily could they do that? we know there are contracts. >> that's right. even if viewers are willing to stay tuned it's going to cost nbc a lot of money if they unwind this deal. we don't know if they are at that phase yet or what they are going to decide but, you know, brian williams signed a $50 million contract three months before he was suspended. just imagine that, right? this is a deal reported to be worth $10 million a year and goes to five years. that means nbc is on the line for a possible big payout if they decide that brian williams is not returning to the nbc "nightly news" chair. >> brian stealthlter, thank you. i hate to see anybody fall from grace whether our business or whether they are not. >> it's difficult to talk about somebody in our business but we will follow the developments as they happen. you saw a bit there of
