two old men on a beach. ♪ la, la, la, la, la, la homes and businesses destroyed as severe storms roll through several american states. a new report says the man who slammed the passenger jet into the alps practiced his deadly maneuver. and polls open soon in the uk's tightest election in recent memory. hello, everybody. we would like to welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm john vouse and this is "cnn newsroom." would begin with hour with the dangerous weather streaming across the states. reports of more than 40 tornados

in nebraska, kansas and oklahoma. bad weather stretching down to texas. oklahoma seems to be the hardest hit. dozens of houses destroyed and damaged by cars, trucks and trees. kansas has had what is believed to be their first ever flash flood warning for oklahoma city. robin joins us now from celina, kansas. is the worst over for now? >> i believe it is, yes. it is for now. i was in kansas all day today. other than the flooding down in oklahoma, i've pretty much taking a break until tomorrow, it looks like. >> so how powerful was the storm system that swept through that area? >> the storm that i actually documented was up in lincoln

county, kansas. and it was strong. it kind of tore up a few homesteads, i believe. there were a couple of koreas. it was out in an open field the majority of the time until it got to lincoln. >> so is this your, like, typical tirnt for this time of the year? >> yes, it is. especially in kansas. i was born and raised in salina and we deal with this throughout may. may and june things get really active. >> so what can we expect in the next day or so? you said you're taking a bit of a break now. expecting more to come? >> i think there's a small chance, maybe something happening tomorrow here in kansas. i am looking more at saturday, so be honest. i think it looks more severe than tomorrow and friday, but

there is still a small chance of tornados and super cells and things over the next couple of days. >> okay. they are spectacular ims and it seems so far, no fatalities we believe of at this stage. we appreciate you joining us from kansas. >> thank you. go to baltimore, maryland now where there is a possible setback with prosecutors with word the police investigation into freddie gray's death does not support some of the charges filed against the six police officers. that includes the more serious charge of second degree murder. all this coming from officials both familiar with the police investigation and a separate one by the state attorney. cnn reports now on what this could mean to prosecutors. >> we're told about the investigators of the police department were under the impression that the medical examiner's findings were going to be shot of a homicide.

she said it was a ruling from the medical examiner which led her to bring the most serious charges. we're told the police investigations simply do not support the most serious charges that are being brought against the officers. that is a second degree murder charge. at most, what they were looking at was man slaughter. now, i should add that the medical examiner's office has told us that they only reached one conclusion in this case and that this was a homicide. >> so attorney marilyn mosby is standing by her charges. in a statement, she said i refuse to try this case through the media. meanwhile, lawyers for two of the officers are challenging another key finding of mosby's case. she says a knife found on freddie gray was legal in maryland and, therefore, the officers have no right to arrest

him. but other officials say the knife was, in fact, illegal under city code. prosecutors accused copilot andreas lubitz of deliberating crashing a plane into the alps. rene has the details. >> french investigators say the 27-year-old practiced his deadly ascent. lubitz and the same captain piloted another flight. with the captain out of the cockpit, the flight data reporter soes lubitz set the auto pilot from 100 feet before leveling off again. >> he certainly was exploring the aircraft and its ability to go up and down and not stop him

from descending it into the ground, making sure that nobody would see him. >> according to the report, the selected alty due decreased to 100 feet for three seconds and then increased to the maximum value of 49,000 feet. less than two minutes later, the selected altitude was 100 feet until it stabilized at 25,000 feet. the flight never left its scheduled path, so air traffic control didn't notice the altitude changes. >> the less the plane is equipped to stream the data and they decide to stream the data of the performance from the flight and someone is monitoring it, they wouldn't have noticed. it was clear that the pilot didn't notice. for another reason, the front lav was inoperative and he went to the back. he was gone for four minutes. >> it appears it was a dry run for what he would do later that morning on board the same plane during flight 9525.

ubitz waited. he directed the jet liner into the mountains killing off 150 people on board. >> okay. allen is a former accident investigator with the national transportation safety board. he joins me now from albuquerque in new mexico. >> we should make the point this was the outgoing flight. the flight which returned was the one that crashed. this flight was filled with passengers. if he's playing around with the altitude, how is it nobody on board noticed? >> the controllers had directed him to do a controlled decent. i think it was unfortuitous that the captain happened to be out of the cockpit when the controllers directed this decent down to 21,000 feet i think it was.

so that allowed him to -- i hate to use the word or phrase rachet up his carriage, but it looks to me like he took advantage on the way to dueseldorf on this plat. >> if he was going to do that, he would have had to lock the captain out, presumably, even though the captain is in the back of the aircraft. he would still have had to prevent him from re-entering. we don't know the details, but maybe the captain returned quicker than was thought and he did it on this state of mind of lubitz and his determination and the planning that eventually went into crashing the plane? >> well, you know, we've seen this before. we can go through a number of

suicides, egypt air crash or the soka air crash or even in america with the the fedex attempted crash. these are all by pilots that had a grudge against their company. so for some reason, lubitz wasn't just satisfied with committing suicide, i wanted to do, i guess, do a mad murder. he paid a lot of money to go through that german wings up program. it runs about 70,000 rur rows now. he was presume knowledgely paid it back. but remember, he had a tremendous training dead and he thought he was going to be out of the cockpit grounded. just the thought of having to go back to being a flight attendant

or the previous job to that was burger king. so this guy may have flipped out because of the thought of what was happening to him and blamed the german wings country. >> we were talking earlier about having someone in that state of mind in the cockpit and behind the controls and no one being aware of what's going on in his mind. >> well, john, we're not quite sure of that. the investigation is still ongoing. when i worked for the faa and the ntsb, that's national transportation safety board, i recommended a type of training called crew resource management. this empowers everybody, all the i'vaters to speak up if you see anybody that you even think is going to make a mistake. it was designed originally to prevent accidents, but i think we may want to revisit that type of training and expand it to also look for the over

inappropriate behavior, and could he curve somebody to report this. so it will be interesting to see what the french investigators come up with. another recommendation i made was to establish a cad ray of aviation medical examiners. the medical staff that give these physicals are not available to pilot. >> i can't, i can't imagine this report would be chilling reading for the passengers who were on that flight. good to speak with you. thanks for being with us. >> thank you, john.

just an hour away now from when voters in the united kingdom will begin casting their ballots. tuesday was a grilling day for party leaders, their last chance to deliver their messages to voters. david cameron emphasized the importance, as they always do, of this election. >> this is the selection that will define this generation. do we build on the work that has been done these lasted years? i say let's build on what we've done. get out there tomorrow and vote conservative. thank you very much. thank you. >> meanwhile, his opposition leader ed miliband held a late minerally to gain support. >> for five years, this country has been run for the richest and most powerful.

but tomorrow is your day. tomorrow you have the power. tomorrow you have the power to make britain work for working people once again. you have the power -- you have the power to build a country which rewards hard work again. you have the power to build a future for our young people. >> let's take a look at the last polling. we won't be able to do this the next hour because of uk election rules. the conservatives and labor parties locked in a dead heat at 34%. much more on the campaigns later this hour, and remember to stay with cnn on air and online. we'll be covering the vote all throughout the day. and now to israel where prime minister benjamin netanyahu has announced that

he's formed a coligdz government with minutes to spare before a deadline. and it's made up of just 61 seats. he pulled it off with support from the ride wing jewish lths company. now he is sevening his fourth term of israel's leaders. what online relationships tell us about possible links to isis. plus, the report is out on american pro football's deflategate. a lot of finger pointing, ahead. we'll tell you how new england's coach is responding to all of in.

communication with a well known isis hacker. >> an ominous warning on social media referring to the texas attack, a tweet saying you ain't seen nothing yet. it comes from a twitter account thought to be from a man named jamain hussein. tonight, u.s. investigators believe he may have played a key role. >> i don't know if he directed him, but he was in communication with him because the two followed each other. elton simpson was promoting the account of housseini. >> that is leading officials to investigation whether hussein had any intelligence in planning the attack. they believe hussein may have had prior knowledge of the sauld. janay is, quote, a real problem because of his ability to recruit online and inspire attacks. >> somebody who has a sort of -- a tech savviness, somebody who

understands the vulnerabilities of the west and is considered a potentially dangerous by u.s. counterterrorism officials. because all these radicals in the west, they know where to reach him. >> hussein is from birmingham, england, and has been on the radar of british law enforcement for years. he was convicted of stealing tony blair's online address book and posting it on the internet. using the name "trick" he was cited for making crank phone calls to britain's anti-terrorism hot line, preventing legitimate callers from getting through. now analysts worry because of his radical beliefs and internet savvy, hussein might claim a social media attack and run with it. >> even though this one wasn't successful, it certainly is captured media attention. it's something that they want to replicate and given how successful they've been in using social media to radicalize and

to absorb people to action, it certainly is a concern. >> and law enforcement officials tell us they're concerned about keeping track of other americans, people like simpson who might be falling jenay on social media and might be in touch with him. cnn, brian todd, washington. the first of 400 military troops are in syria. the u.s. will train the rebels in small arms and battlefield tactics as well as how to use radio and medical equipment. the u.s. plans to train about 5,000 models each year. but the president of a coalition opposition group says that's just not enough. >> it's too small and too small. we need to include much more fighters. we have the capability and the ability to fight against the terrorism and against the terror led by this regime. but we need to include much more

fighters from the fsa in this program and we need to have a much more faster. and we need protection from the -- the air attacks of the regime. >> meantime, in iraq, isis now controls parts of a massive oil refinery. hasn't been operational for some time, but it's still important. it sits along a key route to the city of mosul, which iraqi forces are hoping to take back from isis. u.s. secretary of state john kerry said the humanitarian crisis in yemen is growing dire and the u.s. is pledging $68 million to help. kerry says he will ask saudi arabia to hold a bombing campaign so relief can be brought to yemen. the why was for immediate military intervention was sent to the u.n. security council and it comes the same day heavy clashes were reported between pro government forths and houthi

rebels. now the deflategate. some accused boston's team of deflating game balls, giving their quarterback an unfair advantage. the nfl's report on the scandal is out. and while it doesn't directly accuse quarterback tom brady of being involved, it says he probably knew about deflating. gary tuchman explains. >> quarterback tom brady leading his new england patriots to a super bowl vick over to over the seattle seahawks, he was asked by the press if he was a cheater. >> i don't believe so. i feel like i've always played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. >> he was asked that after allegations about deflated footballs in the championship game. a deflated ball can be easier to throw. >> i didn't, you know, have any -- i didn't alter the ball in any way. i don't want anyone rubbing them, putting any air in them,

taking any air out. i have no knowledge of anything. i have no knowledge of any wrongdoing. >> but today, an investigation ordered by the nfl declared brady was likely at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities and what were those inappropriate consists? the report stated it was at likely as not that they released air from patriots game balls after the balls were examined by the referee. no other patriot players, coaches or officials have been implicated and there's no smoking gun, but there is much circumstantial evidence including videotape of mcnally removing game balls from the official' locker room. and they sometimes talked about brady's unhappiness with the level of game balls.

after a report earlier in the season, mcnally texted this. tom sucks. i'm going to make that next ball a blanking balloon. it was responded, talked to you last night and said you must have a lot of stress. we believe that it is unlikely that an assistant and a locker room attendant would deflate game balls without brady's knowledge and approval. brady refused to make available any documents and text messages that we requested, even though the requests were the subject matter of our investigation. when the deflategate first broke, they tried to blame weather or other environmental factors for the deflation. but we visited the wilson factories in ohio and employees

there said no way. >> this ball will not leak. unless you put a needle in it and put the air out. >> and indeed that is what this report concludes is the scenario. the owner of the patriots released a statement saying to say we were aware of the deliberate referrals of -- the report is expected to lead to substantial discipline against the team and its star quarterback. >> i think you can just go out and try to be the best person you can be, deal with people with respect, with honesty and integrity. have a high moral standard. >> a quarterback who is accused of violating what he says he stands for. and in spain, professional football matches are to be suspended indefinitely. the spanish football federation has called the matches off after failing to reach a deal with the

warnings for hours. the emergency officials are looking into more than 40 reports of tornados. there is damage outside oklahoma city. an emergency official there says 13 people were injured when a tornado destroyed a mobile home park. three of those people were in a critical condition. french investigators say german wings copilot andreas lubitz practiced the settings which would be used to crash a flight in march. he set the altitude to 100 feet during a previous flight. he is accused of sending a sgerman flight hurdling into the french alps giving 150 people. the polls open in the uk in about half an hour. surveys have consistently shown prime minister david cameron dead even with edward miliband.

max foster has a look back at the past five weeks of campaigning. >> david cameron set the tone of the campaign from day one. >> you face a stark choice. the next prime minister walking through that door will be me or ed miliband. >> it was a title the opposition labor leader quickly embraced. >> if i'm prime minister. if i'm prime minister. if i'm prime minister. with me as prime minister. >> he'll be stabbed in the back, that's what conservative michael fallon implied reminding voters of miliband's own fight with his brother. >> today i think he's demeaned himself. >> off the back of broken promises.

>> i have not met the commitment that i made. i got it wrong. i couldn't put into practice my policy. >> the liberal democrats put themselves in the middle ground. >> add a heart to a conservative government and a brain to a labor one. >> not so funny, some said, to this comment. >> ed miliband's claim that labor has no plans for additional borrowing is a bit like an alcoholic who drinks a bottle of vodka he day claiming that they have no plans for additional vodka. >> but most of nick cleg's attacks were pointed to his former coalition partners. >> imagine the chaos in his lives, the people who don't know whether you're going to call them -- >> a could ligz of chaos. think of the chaos. >> the former labor prime

minister rolled out to warn against a conservative and uk independence party plan to hold a referendum on britain's membership of the european union. >> it's a completely unacceptable gamble with our nation's future. >> prompting this response from nigel ferage. >> tony blair can go to hell, all right? >> and speaking of hell -- >> it is a match made in hell for the british economy. >> the prime minister issuing a dire warning as it became apparent that the leader of the scottish national party, nicholas sturgeon, was shaping up as ed miliband's kingmaker. >> if we work together, we can lock david cameron out of downing street. >> i have fundamental disagreements with you. i'm not going to have a coalition for -- >> we have a chance to keep david cameron out of downing street. don't turn your back on it. people will never forgive you. >> the debates delivering some of the campaign's greatest and most controversial moments. >> you can come into britain

from anywhere in the world and get diagnosed with hiv, get the retroviral drugs. >> i think you should be ashamed of yourself. >> well, i'm sorry, but we have to put our own people first. >> i'm tough enough. >> amid the shoutdowns -- >> there's been balance on the books on the backs of the poor. >> that was done in a balanced way. >> the folk is on balance. we have a -- >> what's going on here? >> the slip ups. and the sit-downs. the leaders have made their key points abundantly clear. >> but i want to get rid of the toys. >> the very last thing that the country now needs is a lurch to the left or the right. i say it's when working people seed that britain succeeds. >> let's take back our borders. >> let's not go back to square one. >> max foster, cnn, london.

>> rick santorum says he'll make his 2016 president yam plans known on may 7th. the former pennsylvania senator won't confirm that he plans to officially announce his bid on that date, but he's hinted its possible. santorum eventually dropped out of the last race election. iowa is a credit cam state in the u.s. elections and the latest opinion polls from there are eye opening. jeb bush is leading in the national polls, but he's dead last in iowa with just 5%. the wisconsin governor scott walker leads with 21%. the rest of the pack is substantially behind. iowa holds the first contest in u.s. presidential elections and can give a key boost to candidates seeking the nomination. hillary clinton is the early leader for the democratic party's nomination, but right now she's facing another battle. a new book called clinton cash allegations the nonprofit clinton foundation, except in forng donations which influenced

her decisions while she was secretary of state. the book's author concede he has no direct evidence to support that claim, but says the smoking gun is in the pattern of behavior. cnn's christian ammanpour asked former president bill clinton f allegeses are true. >> we had a policy when she was secretary of state that we would only continue accepting money from people that were already giving us money. and i tried to recreate that policy as nearly as i can now, during the campaign. with minor exceptions for our health care work, which we can talk about if you like. and i think they all -- people know that. they understand that enormous percentage of health and development work around the world is funded by governments and multi national organizations and they fund us because they think we're good at solving problems and taking advantage of

opportunities. but we also have 300,000 other donors and 90% of them give $100 or less. so there's just no evidence. even the guy that wrote the book, apparently, had to admit under questioning that he didn't have a shred of evidence for this. he thought he would throw it out there and see if it will fly. and it won't fly. >> he did actually -- it won't fly, is that what you said? >> yeah, it won't fly. >> we're getting a rare look inside north korea's reclusive government. will has been reporting from pyongyang this week and he was able to speak to an analyst with close ties to kim jung un's ra chic. >> north korea's regime turns out plenty of rhetoric. international media is not trusted. but a member of north korea's inner circle speaking exclusively to cnn, the deputy

director of north korea's think tank, no topic was off limits. >> south korea's national intelligence service alleged that kim jung un ordered executions of 15 officials this year. >> the report itself is malicious slander pep calls allegations baseless and groundless, but does not deny executions do take place here. >> translator:ite it's very normal for any country to go after those hostile elements and punish them and execute them. >> we also asked about north korea's growing nuclear program. many consider it a threat to the region's stability. >> translator: nuclear weapons, we'll continue to approve our nuclear arsenal as long as we ever out of stretch of the

united states. >> does north korea have a chance of striking the united states? >> yes, of course. >> yes, of course. we will use them until we were stopped by the government. on a recent u.n. report alleging human rights abuses based on the testimony of hundreds of defectors who claim the north has a network of brutal prison camps. >> we don't have prison camps because my society is a society where we are no political strife, factions or political division. as a result, we don't have the term political prisons. >> in north korea, you did or not hear decenting views in interviews with everyday people or on the state-run media. in fact, no north koreas have access to the internet. the country is making strides in technology, science and education. students are now required to

finish 12th grade. college is free to those who pass rigorous is entrance exams. plus, north korea's struggling economy. >> we're a major power politically, ideal onlyicly and militarily. the next is to make a strong economic power. >> improving the living standard for north korea's 25 million citizens means this nation must include ties with the international community. with mutual distrust and pyongyang's refusal to disarm its arsenal, there appears to be no clear path to moving forward. will ripley, cnn, pyongyang, north korea. when we come back here, the earthquake in nepal wiped out much of the country's unique heritage. coming up, a cnn reporter returns to her home and visits the monuments and the temples which are now in ruins.

let's get an update now on the severe weather which has been sweeping across the midwest. officials are not only concerned about tornados, but rather about the flooding. the danger is fairley high. >> john, yeah, just looking at some of the information across the database here that we have access to. and it showed the rainfall that we talked about earlier of upwards of 200 millimeters or 7 inches that came down in oklahoma city in the past 24 hours. five inches of that rainfall came down in a two-hour period. that is a 1 in 75-year interval event. it shows you the rarity of getting this tremendous rainfall. 46 reports of tornados scattered about at least four states. we're now introducing colorado to make it the fifth state. but the tornado watch is in place. we've had 7,000 lightning strikes in a 24- hour period. the weather stays very active. we expect the severity of the storm to die down here. some of the areas of interest across northern texas. this is another area for active weather come thursday afternoon, but notice the rainfall is still

there, the lightning strikes are still there. some of the areas could produce rotation, but out of oklahoma city it is beginning to quiet down as the storms die off east towards oklahoma city. here is the rainfall that we touched on. 7 plus inches. not only was this a wild day across the region. vehicles flipped on interstate 35. 25 miles southwest of the county. there is a zoo and that tornado went right of the zoo and officials at one point were concerned for some wild animals getting out. several toois tigeres and officials looking out there and saw no damage was done to the zoo itself so animals all accounted for across that region. even the airport, john, will rogers international airport closed at this hour. they had to evacuate people two separate times to a tunnel outside the security zone. so very, very dangerous day and it looks like some of these storms could fire back up on thursday for this region. less than two weeks since nepal's earthquake and only now we're getting a better idea of just how widespread the damage

is. cnn went back to the temples and the monuments and now they're in ruins. she says the tank didn't just destroy artifacts, it devastated a land. >> i'm not sure what i was speccing to find here. temples and palaces where my ancestors lived for generations, now devastated. this is where i used to hang out all the time, this is where i brought my friends to show them the beauty and magnificent of nepal. so much of it is like this, in complete ruin. >> ten years ago, i spent a year making a documentary on elicit trafficking. >> this is finished. the mover of all obstacles. as you can see, he's behind bars because so many of nepal's gods and goddesses have been stolen. so much of nepal, you see them like this, caged.
