starts right now. right at the top of the hour now. good morning. i am victor blackwell. >> i am krischristi paul. 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the capital of katmandu. >> rescue crews are digging in the hopes of finding sir saoeufers. they are trying to accommodate the thousands of people injured and looking for care right now. the u.s., india and china sending basic supplies such as food, supplies, and tents. we have our correspondent over there, and you felt the 6.7-magnitude aftershock, and i

am wondering how that is affecting rescue efforts? >> reporter: that is having a serious impact on rescue efforts. you know, i did feel it. you are right, i am in the city of kolkata in india, and to give you a sense, that's not close, if i had to take a flight from here to katmandu, it could be more than an hour's flight, but still we felt the tremors in kolkata this afternoon, and people ran out of their buildings and they were fearful of what could happen here. yes, it's really scaring people over here, and people are nervous after what happened yesterday. a lot of people spent the night outside, and yesterday they were too scared to go indoors or into their homes, or whatever was left of their homes, and many spent the night in an open football field and said they will do the same again tonight

because it's not safe to go back in there. of course the tremors are affecting rescue and relief operations. in the last hour, i learned of two flights that were supposed to land in nepal but they were forced to turn back. our colleagues were on some of the flights, and one of them actually reached nepal and circled katmandu for half an hour before they were told it was too unsafe to land there because of the aftershocks and they had to come back, and it was a flight carrying a couple journalists, and the goal was to bring back some of the india citizens stranded in nepal. and then an air india flight, a commercial flight was going in there and carrying a whole group of national aide agency workers, and they sat on the tarmac for three hours before their flight was cancelled because of the aftershocks. people in nepal and katmandu

need as much help as they can get, but the aftershocks are making it difficult for people and emergency personnel to reach nepal. >> i was listening to one man and his family was sleeping on the streets because they are afraid to go into buildings. thank you very much. and a google executive and a base camp doctor from new jersey, both families announced their deaths on social media. i know you are watching and wondering what can i do? well, you can log on to cnn.com/impact for more information on how you can help the victims there. >> thank you so much for doing so. back here in the u.s., family and friends are going to be saying good by to freddy gray. a wake is scheduled for later today and funeral services are expected tomorrow. this is protests over gray's

death yesterday turned violent. look at some of what we are seeing here. dozens of people were arrested. >> as a result of the escalating tensions, and we showed this to you a moment ago, officials forced fans to stay inside the orioles ballpark there at camden yards. what are police saying about the protesters arrested? do we know if the 12 that were arrested were the people we saw stomping on those cars and using the cones to break the windshields? >> reporter: at this point we are not sure who those 12 people are, or at least the extent of their involvement. we do know they are some of the outside instigators, the bad apples, so to speak. we did begin to see them moments after the scheduled protest. but at this point, it's very quiet on the streets of baltimore, and freddy gray's family hoping it stays that way,

especially the next two days as they get ready to say good-bye, and his funeral scheduled for tomorrow morning. back on the investigation that is on going, and we get a chance to speak to the reverend expected to deliver tomorrow's eulogy, to give us insight. he says he will walk a delicate line here. he wants to take the tone calling for activism, and also calling for peace and healing, and i can tell you, that's going to be extremely crucial especially after last night's demonstrations. looking ahead, we are told there are plans for another protest which is scheduled to happen next saturday, and some of the organizers of the initial peaceful protest from yesterday were handing out some of the flyers, and there are efforts to schedule a town hall meeting between some of the demonstrators and city officials, which is obviously an

indication here that there is the dialogue that continues between the people calling for justice and answers, and the city officials who continue to push forward with the investigation, guys. >> reporting live from baltimore. thank you. >> the question is still fresh this morning, was he trained or not trained? new details about a tulsa reserve deputy that fatally shot an unarmed man. concerned several years ago, robert bates was not properly trained and was receiving special treatment. his attorney joins us live to answer tough questions. introducing freeze it, from discover. it allows you to prevent new purchases on your account in seconds if your card is misplaced. not here... ♪ and once you find your card, you can switch it right on again. hey...you're back!

my nai'm a lineman for pg&e out of the concord service center. i have lived here pretty much my whole life. i have been married for twelve years. i have 3 kids. i love living here and i love working in my hometown. at pg&e we are always working to upgrade reliability

to meet the demands of the customers. i'm there to do the safest job possible - not only for them, but everybody, myself included that lives in the community. i'm very proud to do the work that i do and say that i am a lineman for pg&e because it's my hometown. it's a rewarding feeling. ten minutes after the hour now. the tulsa county sheriff's office once claimed policy violations actually benefited the reserve deputy that accidentally shot and killed a man. there's a 2009 memo that shows bates was shown special treatment. cnn obtained a copy of the memo

from harris' family attorney, and the tulsa county sheriff's office has not responded for comment. mr. wood, good to have you this morning. >> i have a copy of the report. you have read the report or at least have it, correct? >> yes, i had a chance to peruse that document last night. >> i want to get to the conclusion first and then go to individual elements of it. the conclusion from this investigation back in 2009 said the policy was violated and continues to be violated and this special treatment shown to reserve deputy robert bates. i want to start with your general response to that because what we heard from mr. bates and you, yes, he was properly trained, but i would like you to talk more about the allegation that there was special treatment given to him above the other members and participants in this particular deputy program. >> the first thing that jumped out at me when i looked that

document over is the fact that mr. bates was never interviewed or talked to, and he did not even know about the investigation back at the time and only learned of it most recently. so if there are any quotes in there attributed to him, those were other things people said he said, and some of them, like, i can do what i want, and if you have a problem with it go talk to the sheriff. we dispute those, those statements are not true. >> did he receive special treatment? i think that's the bottom line in the larger discussion about mr. bates. >> when we talk about special treatment. i don't know whether we are talking about assignment or his ability to function as a reserve deputy. i think it has been clearly established by looking at the governing law enforcement body here in oklahoma, that by virtue of his past experience as a

police officer, a sworn officer for the city of tulsa that he was grandfathered in, and so that was legal. he had a legal right to be where he was on the day of the shooting. of course, the other aspect of this, it was five years ago, and it is so far removed from the date of the incident i don't see the proximate causation as to the event that brought us here. >> the relevant is the narrative being built by people inside the apartment and the special treatment connected to the relationship that is decades long with the sheriff there. he allegedly said he can do what he wants and if you have a problem with it you can talk to the sheriff there, and i am paraphrasin paraphrasing. let's talk about the sergeant that attributed that to the deputy. he said mr. bates was driving a personal car with police equipment pulling people over and making traffic stops, and he

then when called on it, donated the car but continued to drive it and then continued to make traffic stops for which he had not received the training to do. that goes back to the question if there is special treatment? you have provided documents saying at the time of the shooting that he was properly trained and cnn cannot verify those documents, but while he was working there before this shooting back in 2009, explain for us his training level related to those specific traffic stops. was he working outside the rules of the program? >> you know, that's what the investigation found, that's true, but it's a policy violation, not a violation of the law. certainly, mr. bates, in 1965, i am pretty sure people were driving around in cars and people were pulling them over. so certainly he had that past experience. >> we are not talking about 1965, though. we are talking about while he was in the reserve deputy

program. was he skirting the rules? >> i think the report also says that there were so many violations by other people that were also in the reserve program. >> i don't know if any of those other people pulled out a gun and shot a man instead of the taser. that's why we are talking about robert bates here. >> yeah, five years later. >> and let's talk about a person in your firm, and they are talking about jealousy from other members of the department. we will talk about it on the other side. >> mr. bates was a former police officer, but 30 years earlier he was certificated and authorized to be a police officer in oklahoma. >> 30 years ago? >> yeah, but lacked the training. he was in a different category, and when he was received in the department there was some level

of concern and jealousy, i think, and that was voiced to his superiors. >> a level of jealousy for this reserve deputy. can you expound on that? i don't see a level of jealousy expressed in this document. >> i don't know exactly where he got that information, but i will say, somebody that has come into the program and donated and given so much, i think there was probably a perception on the part of some people that he did receive special treatment back during this training time, but certainly over the last five years all the people that he has worked with almost on a daily basis has sang his praises and said what a good job he has done, up until the day this horrible, horrible mistake was made. >> we will have more

opportunities to discuss this report and other elements of this investigation as it expands. i thank you for taking time to speak with us this morning. >> you are welcome. thank you, victor. >> sure. it's sunday morning. time for washington to get ready for the week ahead, and john mccain is appearing on today's "state of the union." we have a preview for you. financial noise financial noise

financial noise financial noise

20 minutes past the hour, and washington may have been celebrating at the

correspondent's dinner last night, but today it's back to work. jim la costa joining us for "state of the union." >> somebody has to work this morning, so might as well be me. john mccain will be coming on because as you know earlier this week president obama came out and made a remarkable admission that a u.s. drone strike had killed not only an american hostage but an italian hostage as well, and so i will ask senator john mccain who will join us from arizona this morning, joining us very early, about whether or not there are alternatives to this? is there the only option. when i asked the white house press secretary, he said we cannot do an osama bin laden still raid every time we want to

take somebody there. >> it's the segue, and john legend, i sat down with him a friday evening, and he was in town for the white house correspondent's dinner, and we take a lot of jabs from the media and critics and the dinner being a spectacle. john legend, he came into town to not only enjoy the dinner but to talk about his cause of over incarceration in the justice system, and we use that as an opportunity to ask about the allegations of police brutality, and it was the perfect opportunity to talk about this with john legend. he was a big supporter of president obama back in 2008, back in 2012, and i think you will find it interesting what he has to say about the president and whether or not he has done

enough on this issue. he says he wants to push the president to do more, so you will hear that as well. >> interesting. jim acosta, always good to see you. >> "state of the union" starts at the top of the hour. president obama took aim at joe biden, the secret service, himself in many ways. we will have the best of last night's washington correspondent's dinner next.
