♪ new this morning. 99.9%, that's how certain one official is that a bomb blew up a russian passenger jet and now the fbi is offering its help in this investigation. donald trump times three on "saturday night live." he poked fun at himself. but you know what? not everyone finds it funny. and we dig into on the records of two police officers charged with murdering a

6-year-old. what we found about their past, as a town remembers that boy. moments ago, russia mourns their dead. 224 lives lost on board that passenger plane that fell apart in egypt just over a week ago. good morning, everyone.victor b >> i'm centennial olympic park. a somber moment service just ended at the one of the iconic cathedra cathedrals. the bells ringing 224 times once for each of the passengers on jet flight 9628. >> suspicion that a bomb exploded and brought that plane down. one telling cnn 99.9% certain of

that. now the fbi is offering its help in the investigation. cnn's ian lee is joining us live from sharm el sheikh airport in egypt. over the bomb theory, what is next in the investigation that could prove that? >> reporter: right now, it really boils down to what the evidence on the ground at the crash site says. all this data recorder and the voice recorder that the information we are getting from that leads to the belief that it was a bomb, as well as the intelligence from the united states and the united kingdom. it is really going to be the evidence from the wreckage that tells what happened in the final moments. they are going to still need to get some sort of residue or some sort of evidence from the crash site that points to that bomb. this still very long area, about a little over seven miles roughly of the crash site.

still a lot of area to go through and they do not have all of the piece of the plane yet. i think one of the most telling things about the bomb theory is that initially you had the egyptians and the russians both downplaying it, saying that it was more likely a mechanical issue. now you have the egyptians saying all options are out there, as well as the russians who banned all flights from coming into egypt. it seems like they are starting to believe it could have been a bomb as well. >> sharm el sheikh airport has been questioned for its security or lack thereof as of late. what are you learning about security at that airport this morning? >> reporter: well, security definitely has been ramped up. they kicked out people who were not traveling there, that's why we aren't at the airport, but it is behind us, the army took

control of the security there. there are checkpoints, not just at the airport going into the airport, but really all over sharm el sheikh, what they are going through people's belongings and looking for anything that could be an explosive. at the airport itself, very tight security, at least what we're hearing. but egypt has been criticized for having poor security, not having the training or the people using the equipment properly. these are the accusations that have been thrown out there against the egyptians at sharm el sheikh airport, something that they are going to remedy. and it looks like it has been at least somewhat successful as we have been seeing planes coming in and leaving all day. >> ian lee, so grateful for the update. thank you. let's talk more about terrorism expert sajan goel joining us now. some experts are saying 99.9%

certain this was a bomb. we know the russians have stranded nearly 80,000 of their own citizens in egypt after suspending the flights there. is moscow convinced that this was terror? >> well, victor, it looks like now moscow has changed its opinion. last week, they tried to explain it was technical failure or that the pilot had made a mistake. now, with evidence that is coming out that they are in possession of themselves, not necessarily shed by america or the united kingdom, that this is a terrorist attack. a very significant one and the russians know from past experiences that the aviation industry has been -- by terrorism. in 2004 two female suicide bombers brought down two domestic flights. they have this record and this history. unfortunately, it's now potentially happened again to the airline industry. >> put this into context, this reporting this morning that the fbi has agreed to help russia and egypt with this crash

investigation, namely by providing bomb technicians. is this indicative of a challenge beyond their capabilities or would you have expected this? >> it's not unusual. in the past when there have been terrorist attacks around the world, the u.s. offers its support, its assistance and especially the fbi because they have some of the best forensic analysts in the world. it may decipher how the bomb was used and how it was brought on board and potentially the terrorist individuals or groups involved in this. it was a conclusion of complexity but it's a disturbing scenario so many year as 9/11, the aviation industry could be attacked by terrorism. >> jeh johnson spoke yesterday with cnn's barbara starr about

the crash and why they are ramping up security at foreign airports. listen to a portion of that discussion. >> the investigation of the crash of metro jet 9268 is still under way. not all of the facts have come in. as the president said, we cannot, at this point, rule out the possibility of something nefarious. at the same time, we have got a group out there, isil that is claiming responsibility for this. in light of the current circumstances, what admiral nepinger and i decide to do is take cautionary measures at aviation security at certain foreign airports we call last point of depart tour airports with direct flights into the united states. >> reasonable escalation here? >> i'm afraid so. and this also, unfortunately, is one of the other victories of terrorism. if they can't kill and maim,

they will call chaos and frustration at airports. this is what the terrorists want. at the same time, one can't ignore what took place on the metro air flight. to stop a potential plot, the terrorists' understanding of how to bypass security also increases. we have seen a whole new efficient lags how they have been trying to bring down airlines. they have an obsession of targeting the aviation industry and one can get complacent -- >> always good to have your insight, sajnan gohel. donald trump making some waves on "saturday night live." we are going to bring all of it to you. the crazy dance moves and encounter with the famous heckler.

friends. take a look. >> they have done so much to ridicule me over the years, this show has been a disaster for me. look at this guy. >> great, great, great. isn't he doing fantastic? i got to say you're doing a great job. in fact, i think this show just got better by by 2 billion percent. in fact, they just told me, donald, they just told me -- this is very interesting. now that i'm here t, this is th best monologue in "snl" history. is that pretty good? >> yeah, that's pretty good. eye yi yi. look at this! >> you think you're this terrific person. you think you're this. you think you're that. bop, bop, bop. you're being very naive and, quite frankly, you're fired.

>> it's so good! trump's big night was facing controversy after an activist group in this 5,000 reward for on anyone who yelled out trump is a racist. i know you remember that. trump did get heckled but not quite in the way i think you'd expect. >> you're a racist. >> who the hell is -- oh, i knew this was going to happen. who is that? >> trump's a racist! >> it's larry david. what are you doing, larry? >> i heard if i yelled that, they would give me $5,000. >> way to get ahead of it, right? outside the 30 rock studios, that very group that set up the bounty held their rally against trump's experience and cnn's polo sandoval was, indeed, there. >> reporter: organizers of this

dump trump event estimate that 300 people took the streets and many disappointed that the show went on as planned and many calling on nbc not have donald trump host the show. speaking to of the folks who took part in this demonstration, i can tell you they expect to push to have their message heard even after this highly anticipated show. >> this whole issue of -- of speaking in an uneducated manner, singling out a group of people and saying that they are sending criminals here, is wrong. and he's inciting racism. >> we took about aces, we took about everybody. this is about racist. races in general, period. >> reporter: not everybody was against this trump appearance on "saturday night live." just on the other side of 49th street we did speak to a small handful of trump supporters and

one telling me she would rather be outside on the streets to face the people than inside the show. >> i don't care if it's one person out here. you need a countervoice to something like that. >> reporter: interesting here in speaking to both sides, they do seem to agree that plenty of people watched last night. they do know that people were tuning, people hoping to catch a glimpse of donald trump on "saturday night live" and the question is how will each side continue pushing their message after this tv appearance. >> polo, thanks so much. let's talk now with new york one news political anchor errol lewis who is with us this morning. what did you think of the appearance, the performance? >> good morning, victor. i laugh at almost anything, my wife will tell you. i thought the skits were fine, you know? they were in line of with a lot of "saturday night live" humor. i have to say it's a little peculiar in a way because trump was already a media star.

a lot of what is interesting and sometimes funny about a politician showing up in person on "saturday night live" the way sarah palin did and others and hillary clinton is they are out of their normal space. trump looked at home doing this stuff because he has been a reality star over a decade. >> let's talk about one of the sketches here. there is one that involves trump white house in 2018. let's look at it and then we'll talk. >> general, how are we doing in syria? >> well, isis is completely eliminated, sir. the country is at peace. the refugees and returned and have great black jack dealers in damascus. >> mr. president, the president of mexico is here. >> that's great, send him in. >> donald. >> enrique! >> i brought you check for the wall. >> i'm so proud of you and changing telemundo for all english to me, you changed that to all english is the greatest

thing. jimmy, how is the economy? >> amazing, sir. in the word of our new national anthem, it's huge! i have no idea how you did it, sir. >> well, you know what? i don't have to get specific. with me, it just works, you know? it's just magic. >> obviously, trump in on the joke here but he says it's just magic, doesn't have to get to specifics. that has been a knock on him throughout this campaign, though. no specifics. >> that's exactly right. look. look. we are still in the shopping phase of this presidential campaign, even in iowa and new hampshire, the first states where voters are going to cast votes, you know, they are looking in the different aisles and looking at different candidates. there's no guarantee they are going to settle on trump and that might be one of the reasons why, you know? i mean, he's got a presence, an, aurks r aura and specifics. do people make voting decisions based on that? i'm not sure about that but we will see when february rolls

around. >> why did he do this? is building one upmanship after hillary clinton's appearance or a rite of passage for front runners? >> there is an undeniable benefit. either one of the the other candidates, george pataki or lindsey graham would kill for an opportunity to be in front of as many people as donald trump got to speak to last night. it also sort of humanizing him. the people not voting to trump outside, the protesters, they are pretty upset but for anybody who was neutral or anybody coming to this for the first time it's incredible exposure. so much so that one wonders what the other candidates are going to do about it. he has made himself sort of part of the culture. as we saw in 2008 and like president obama, running against a celebrity is very, very hard. >> errol lewis, thank you. >> thanks. next hour we will have an

greenhouse jr. and stafford as well facing second-degree murder charges in the boy's death. the boy's father is still in the hospital. nick valencia has traveled to louisiana. what are you learning about these officers' past? >> reporter: good morning, victor. we are learning that at least one of these officers has a checkered past, a history of getting into trouble, at least according to the local newspaper here. 32-year-old derek stafford who, according to the paper, has been part of this police department in marksville the last eight years, was indicted on two counts of aggravated rape within the time he was a police officer here. one of the cases daets bates ba 2004 and another case in 2012 but in 2012 the cases were dismissed. we are learning this morning both officers charged with the murder of that 6-year-old jeremy mardis are also involved in several civil lawsuits tied to excessive force. cnn has attempted to reach out

to the local officials here in this area, as well as the family of those two officers. we have not heard back. so far there is no indication that either one of those officers were ever convicted of a crime. i did speak to those here at a detention center behind me. they are telling me this morning the two officers are held in this facility behind me and they are being separated away from the general population. we should mention they are going to make their first court appearance sometime this week. perhaps more importantly that funeral for 6-year-old jeremy mardis is expected to be held on monday in hattiesburg, mississippi. >> nick, thank you. so let's bring in cnn law enforcement analyst tom fuentes and hln legal analyst joey jackson. tom, we don't know why police were chasing the father, chris few in this case, we don't know why they opened fire and no warrants out on him and no gun in the vehicle. in your opinion, and based on what you know, why would officers react like that and why

are they not releasing more information about the incident? >> i think, christi, you know, not knowing the facts in this case makes it very difficult. the fact they have charged both with second-degree murder in this case is a good indication that the investigation is disclosing there was no justification and even the so-called pursuit, that they have no reason to be shooting into that car which results in the death of a little boy. so i can think of no reason for doing it. >> so, joey, second-degree murder. you've got video of the case which we know the superintendent there, louisiana police says is one of the worst things he has ever seen essentially. you've got a history of alleged violence, at least on one of these guys. how do you begin to defend them? where do you start? >> good morning, christi and tom. certainly the dash bam or the body cam video is going to be

rather revealing in terms of what the defense's strategy is going to be. remember, the defense is going to be predicated upon the issue of justification and certainly the defense will point out that although on there was no weapon, although there was no exchange of any type of gunfire between the two, that a car can be used as a dangerous weapon. again, that will be the claim because the defense, in order to clear their clients, have have to establish they acted responsible and responsibly and their actions were necessary and proper under these conditions. i think you're going to see a defense that is predicated upon their clients' actions and to deem them justified. i think the defense will point to the issue of state of mind. whenever you have someone fleeing, you don't know what they have, what they are going to bring to bear, whenever you have a car that started, you'll argue certainly it's a dangerous weapon and you feel you're and eminent threat of your safety. whether these arguments carry the day or whether they are have a lot to do whether or not

the officers' actions were justified or not. clearly from the superintendent saying this is the worst he has ever seen, it appears not. the defense certainly is going to make the arguments that i'm making now. >> tom, according to local reports, officer stafford was indicted twice on rape charges. the cases were dismissed. as we heard from nick there were several lawsuits tied to excessive force with both of these two. do you think, based on what we have heard there, these two were fit to serve? >> i think, you know, it's difficult to defend and officer who had charged brought against him in the past that were thrown out, but, you know, the threshold for being a police officer and carrying a gun and wearing the badge is not that you haven't been convicted of a capital crime. there is a preponderance of the evidence to believe they were bad in the past there should be hiring practices for the police departments and what kind of background they went to.

was there any kind of character testing done for those departments? how they got to be police officers in the first place is a concern to me and then once they start having these kind of occurrences during their career, they shouldn't be out there. >> tom, you know, there's reporting that they were part-time jobs for these two for the marksville city marshals. does that matter in any way this was a part-time gig for them? >> it didn't matter to the little boy. so, to me, if they are going to be out there carrying a gun and being in that kind of a position, then they need to qualify as police officers or not be there. >> joey, four officers here and only two charged. as a defense attorney, what would you want to get from those other two officers and how would they play a role here in the defense. >> they will play a major role. not only for the defense but the prosecution. so certainly what their eyewitness accounts are going to be critical.

how those officers felt, i mean, i think one of the things the defense will have to overcome is that certainly those two sqers didn't open fire and so what nature of threat did they perceive or did they feel? the standard is always did you act as a reasonable officer would act, christ i, in your position. if there were two other officers there and they didn't shoot, those are reasonable officers that didn't do it. what these officers bring to bear, the other two, in terms what have they witness is going to be very significant. however, it's not going to overcome what the jury sees, which is the body cam. just quickly on the past of the officers. i think you'll see the defense moving to preclude any mention about any past history of bad acts or anything else on the other officers because what the officers did depends upon what you do today, not what you did yesterday, the day before. finally, the prosecution will say, wait a second. it goes to a prior plan of scheme, it goes to your modus operandi and it's admissible but

i think the judge will say we have to deal with these facts and these circumstances and that the prejs the officers would endure if you allow information about their past would be too much for the jury to consider. >> your perspectivive is so helpful. thank you both. >> thank you. >> a u.s. official says he is 99.9% certain that a bomb brought down a russian passenger jet in egypt. a lot of investigators are pointing to a sound heard just before the flight data recorder stops recording as the proof. at least one expert who knows this technology very well disagrees.

investigation into the crash of russian passenger jet is, of course, far from over, but at least one u.s. official has already concluded with 99.9% certainty that a terrorist bomb brought down that plane.

an unexplained noise heard in the final second of the cockpit voice recorder seems to support that theory but the egyptian government says more analysis is needed. this morning, we have with us mike poole. a long time crash investigator and expert and data recorder analysis. good to have you with us this morning. >> good morning. >> i want to read something reported by cnn afgs france 2 and once of the investigators said an explosion was heard on that recorder. how much can be determined about the cause of that noise? can it be determined that it is an explosion simply by that cockpit voice recorder? >> well, there's been a lot of research done over whether you can tell the difference between the sound of a bomb and the sound of structural failure, which is called explosive decompression. at altitude, the aircraft is a vessel pressure. when you have a fuse language

that is explosively going to decompress. most of the time we listen to a voice recorder when we are doing analysis, things like the pilot addressing the trims of the flight control or gee lever or the -- you listen to a known recordings of the sound and compare it with your ear and hey, that sounds like the pilot adjusting the seat. we also have more sophisticated techniques which is spectral analysis which is frequently time and amplitude and that is a more objective assessment of what the nature of that sound is. >> i just want to jump in here and say that the head of this commission of this investigates says if there needs to be more specialized analysis and what does that look like? >> okay. so the theory is when a bomb is off in a plane the pressure wave will go through the aircraft and shake the microphone and a

structural wave through the metal and go much faster. work was done whether you could tell the difference between the noise of the bomb versus structural failure. after a international committee and funding with the fbi and another agency over a long period and a united kingdom expert who did ha anecdoe toral thesis on this, they say it is a low random noise. we used a door blowing off and compare that to lockerbie. we had the inventories from these explosives of the past as well as decompression and from the international committee, so we tried to analyze all of those sounds to see if we could tell the difference and the team of experts from many countries was unable to. so the end of the research concluded that you cannot differentiate between a bomb and explosive decompression using sound on a recorder.

that was ten years ago. maybe there's some techniques today i'm not aware of. i think the limitation is the frequency of the voice recording. it's actually not that high and it's not designed to do that. so in these cases, the egyptians are right to say more analysis. i'm sure they will try to look at that sound some more but the real definitive answer to what happened will be the physical -- and looking at the metallurgy and they should be able to figure out in time whether that is structural failure or an explosive that blew it open. >> the new reporting this morning is the fbi has agreed to help the russians and the egyptians in this investigation, specifically sending bomb technicia technicians. in addition to the technical element, what do you think this says about the ability of the egyptians? what do you know about the systems they are working with?

>> victor, we actually design and install the lab that they are using in the early 2000 and gave them lots of training. when they first got the all about the 737 crash into the red sea, we sent people from my company over to assist them. they have since become very capable which is normally the case. start out your rookies. you become more professional over time and they have. the fbi participated. that is the proper protocol. if somebody has information that they think it's a bomb, then the proper process is to be part of that team. it's a very big team and this is quite normal. but treated as an accident investigation, investigated by the investigative authority. but, at any time, there appears to be criminal activity, then it transitions to -- investigation with the police forces like the fbi and et cetera. if it becomes a terrorist act it becomes totally a -- investigation. >> mike poole, we learned a lot

♪ donald trump making waves on the ultimate late night stage on "saturday night live." even though he poked fun at himself, not everyone finds it funny. >> singling out a group of people and saying they are sending criminals here is wrong. and he's inciting racism. this morning, one u.s. official says there is 99.9% certainty that a bomb blew up that russian passenger jet over egypt. . this comes as a memorial service ends in st. petersburg, russia, where the victims of that flight are being remembered this morning. we dig into the records of two police officers charged with

murdering a 6-year-old, that is that little guy there. what we found out about the officers' pasts as a toepasts, remembers that little boy. >> i'm centennial olympic park. >> i i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. donald trump showed off some dance moves on "saturday night live." general, how are we doing in syria? >> isis is completely eliminated and r and. >> mr. president, the president of mexico is here to see you. >> that's great. send him in. >> donald. >> enrique. >> i brought you the check for the wall. >> i'm so proud of you and

changing telemundo for all english for me, you changed that to on all english. >> of course. >> great thing. jimmy, how is the economy? >> amazing, sir. in the words of our new national anthem, it's huge. i have no idea how you did it, sir. >> well, you know what? i don't have to get specific. with me, it just works. you know? it's magic. >> meanwhile trump's big night was facing controversy after an activist group had a 5,000 reward no anyone in the audience who yelled out trump is a racist. trump was heckled. but take a look at how this happened. >> you're a racist! >> who the hell -- oh, yeah. i knew this was going to happen. who is that? >> trump is a racist! >> it's larry david. what are you doing, larry? >> i heard if i yelled that, they would give me $5,000.

>> let's talk about it. we have cnn's senior media correspondent and host of "reliable sources" and along with cnn contributor bill carter. your thoughts on trump's performance? >> i think he was okay. i think it's all depending on material. i thought the material was pretty soft, not really pointed satire, so it was relatively easy for him to skate whatever the controversy there was. and, you know, some of the sketches were just sort of out of left field. these were the ones that sort of pointed to whatever controversy there was, and, you know, they didn't really do any damage to him, i don't think, or embarrass him. and i don't think it's going to make material difference in the political race. >> brian? >> expectations were so high for trump. i don't know if he met those expectations. i saw lots of disappintment on twitter and facebook but let's be honest. people have been dissing "snl"

saying it's not as good as it used to be decade ago. we have never seen a front-runner of president host a show like "snl" before so historic in that way. not historic for the way the comedy was. like bill said, it was easy, kind of soft. trump was surprisingly light-hearted and he said and did the right things so i don't think it will hurt him as a presidential candidate or a businessman. >> let's talk about the protests that were outside of 30 rock. we saw some of the video early this morning. cnn spoke to some of those protesters. here is a bit of that. >> this whole issue speaking in an uneducated manner and singling out a group of people and saying they are sending criminals here is wrong. and he is inciting rache ininei >> we talk about everybody. period. >> brian, i wonder your take on

the "snl" turning that trump you're a racist heckler that bounty of $5,000 into a punch line? >> i think it was wise for them to diffuse the situation. i thought it was probably valuable free publicity for the protesters but downplaying or sniffing their concerns. the group that said that bounty, we will send the money to larry david even though it was a joke. a flip side argument that trump was being dismissive of it. i thought interesting that trump made a couple of controversial issues about his position, the check for the wall. it was interesting he was able to touch on those parts from his campaign. >> some were reporting he was willing to veto some sketches --

>> the more risque sketches. >> let's look at one of the funnier moments that is being tweeted out this morning. watch. >> i hate to break it to you guys, but i'm not going to be in the next sketch. i'll do the next best thing. i'll live tweet it. >> tomorrow, it's back to cleveland. wau, wau. >> i scream, you scream. we all scream at my husband! >> is he ripping us apart? >> yeah, he definitely is. >> where? what do you think he just tweeted? probably something with like kenyan, kennan, right? >> exactly. >> i wonder. i had this conversation with

errol lewis. bill, is this now just a rite of passage for candidates for president? i mean, or is this one upmanship over hillary clinton? does everyone have to do it now? >> i don't think everyone will be invited to do it now. they took a guy so much in the media that putting him on the air makes sense as a host. hillary just had one sketch. i could see other candidates doing that, especially when it gets down to a few and other candidates have done it in the past but it's rare to be a host. this guy has been a host before and he has this larger than life persona they can play with. i think he can argue they didn't play it all that much and maybe -- maybe not encourage him to do it again and again. i do expect the ratings will be extremely good. also, if they got larry david another $5,000, i'm sure it's going to make a big difference in his life. >> right! >> that is a win for the night. final word from you, brian? >> i agree with bill. the ratings are going to be high when they come in and have them

by 11:00 a.m. on "reliable sources." i think it was interesting cnn producer noah gray was inside the studio for the show. he said that trump was just playing to his family. he said he didn't care about the rest of the audience but his whole family was there. we saw his daughter but his whole family was in the room and he just wanted their approval. trump i bet he is like the others, even though an unusual "snl" host. >> unfortunately, we didn't get to play the dancing of the hot line bling but i'm sure we will see it later. thank you both so much. >> thanks. >> good to be with you. fresh off the "snl" hosting duties, trump is now set to appear on "state of the union" this morning with jake tapper. check out that interview at 9:00 a.m. on cnn. trump's gop rival ben carson making a campaign stop in puerto rico off the heels of his clear agitation regarding the media's concerns and questions about his past.

it was at that press conference that dr. carson made an interesting prediction. >> i don't think it's causing a complication, and here's is my prediction. my prediction is that all you guys trying to pile on is actually going to help me, because when i go out to these book signings, i see these thousands of people, they say, don't let the media get you down! >> so let's talk about this with cnn's sunlen serfaty who is following the carson campaign. it seems dr. carson may have some credence here. yes? >> reporter: that's right. he is out touting some evidence of that. a big hall of campaign contributions that have come flooding in during this specific week, this period of more intense scrutiny on him. he tweeted out yesterday, quote, we, the people, have made 10,000 donations each day this week raising 3.5 million dollars this

week alone and then adding thank you biased media. it was a not so subtle jab at the intense period of scrutiny he believes he is under unfairly he said. this keeps in line with his stepped up tone that ben carson has been bringing this weekend and really pushing back much more aggressively and more combatively against the media. he feels this is unfair coverage looking into these questions about his past. now, today here in puerto rico, ben carson will hold a statehood event really trying to change the narrative that currently is dominating his campaign and hoping to rechange the focus on what they want to be talking about. >> sunlen, appreciate it. thank you. stick around. our next half hour, we have news about marco rubio. the florida senator releasing his credit card data after facing scrutiny over his finances and we will have the findings coming up. also, disturbing new details emerge this morning in the of this little guy, 6-year-old -

boy. we are live in louisiana with what we have learned about the alleged violent past of one of those officers. also, a mysterious light in the sky over california. a lot of people were questioning is this a ufo? well, we now know what really caused this suspicious light. after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis.

eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

we have got new information this morning about one of the police officers charged with murdering a 6-year-old boy. 32-year-old norris greenhouse and 2-year-old derrick stafford are charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder in tuesday's shooting in marksville, louisiana. >> 6-year-old jeremy mardis, he was shot and killed tuesday after a police pursuit involving his father who was also shot, by the way. the little boy's viewing is scheduled today. nick valencia is following the story live in marksville.

nick, what have we learned specifically about these officers? >> reporter: good morning. according to local newspaper here, "town talk" that 32-year-old derrick stafford was indicted on two counts of aggravated rap. he has been be a police officer the last two years and in one of those cases the alleged rape case happened when he was a police officer. one dating back to september of 2004 and another in 2011. a year after the indictments came down the case was dismissed without prejudice meaning the charges could come back. the other officer is involved in several civil lawsuits and tied to excessive force. cnn has looked into this and neither one of them, from what we know, has ever been convicted of a crime. we have attempted to reach out to local official here and not gotten back to us and family members for those two officers charged in this death of the of-year-old have not gotten back

to us either of the 6-year-old. they are held in this facility behind me at this detention center. we are told they are separate from the general population. they are expected to have their first court appearance sometime this week. but perhaps more importantly, today, there is a viewing for 6-year-old jeremy mardis in hattiesburg, mississippi. we are also told that his funeral is expected for tomorrow but certainly this community affected all around by what happened here on tuesday night. >> so, nick, have we heard anything from the mother in this case and any update on the status of the father again? >> reporter: we are reading reports this morning that the father's condition has been upgraded. though he is still hospitalized. we did reach out to the hospital but haven't been able to get that on the report but reporting out there this morning that his condition has improved though he remains in the hospital. we are looking into these discrepancies of the boy's mother we have not heard from her specifically. but we have reached out to who we believe is the girlfriend of the father who is also injured

in this shooting on tuesday. she has also not gotten back to us. a lot of questions that remain unanswered clearly as you can tell from our reporting here, we have done all our due delegation to get information confirmed but official are being very tight-lipped about what happened. a press conference held on friday from the head of the louisiana state police department 6 offered very little details how this all went about, why chris few, the father of this 6-year-old, was being pursued in the first place. a coroner told a local newspaper here that he was told second-hand information that there was a warrant out. though, on friday the louisiana state police, the head of that state police saying he had no recollection or idea that there was an existing warrant for chris few or an active warrant for chris few so earth certainly, as i mentioned, there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered and hopefully we get some of answers throughout the day. >> something you said quickly. i want to clarify. was the girlfriend injured and was she a third person in that

truck or car? >> she was not injured. we are understanding she was witness to the initial confrontation or encounter between these marshals and deputies and chris few but, n, s she was not injured. >> thank you for the clarification. we appreciate it. new reporting on a story we first told but yesterday. hundreds of high school students caught in a nude photo scandal, sending them via phone and app. school officials now warning this is a nationwide issue. more on that story next half hour. a u.s. official says it is 99.9% certain a plane blew up -- a bomb rather blew up a russian jetliner. so with that, what is next in the investigation?

might think that. >> the missile was not weaponized and no arms there. president obama is meeting with israeli prime minister benefiti benefiting anyone netanyahu tomorrow in d.c. tomorrow. officials say no final agreement is planned on u.s. defense aid to israeli. nobel prize, cast a vote in the myanmar elections in decade. they are optimistic the election could bring real change to the military-dominated government. cnn has been told there were attempts of violence and attempted voter fraud. 99.9% certain is how sure one u.s. official is that a bomb

brought down a russian passenger jet. >> that is in sharp contrast to on the sharp investigation of egyptian -- they are saying more -- excuse me. >> more reporting is necessary. >> more specialized analysis is what i'm trying to say. got caught in my throat there. the probe what happened to the plane will continue. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked.

somber memorial service today at one of russia's most iconic cathedrals in st.

petersburg. families of the metro jet 9268 are there remembering their loved ones who were lost a little more than a week ago. >> you hear the bells there. it rang 224 times. once for each passenger and crew member who died on that downed russian passenger plane. we are getting new details in that ongoing crash investigation. 99.9%, that's how certain one u.s. official is that a bomb explode odd that plane causing it to break apart over the sinai peninsula. today we are also learning the fbi has agreed to help russia and egypt with this investigation. technicians to the region. - let's go straight to cnn's ian lee live at the sharm el sheikh airport in egypt. with this growing consensus among military and intelligence officials in the u.s. and elsewhere over a bomb theory, what is next in this now specialized analysis to prove that a bomb, indeed took down this plane?

>> reporter: good morning, victor. the analysis and evidence they need is still going to be from that crash site. they do have those data recorders that are telling them a lot, but they are going to need to find that direct evidence that it was a bomb. if that, in case, was the cause of this crash. they are looking for the residue from the explosive device. they are also looking for shrapnel marks. anything that can really indicate it was a bomb that took down this flight. one of the things that really is a strong indicator as well is that you're hearing a change in the tone from the egyptians and the russians. initially they came out very strong this is more likely mechanical issue. now the russians and egyptians have changed where the egyptians are saying all options are possible and the russians have stopped their flight in and out of egypt, however, we have been watching flights to come in today and a lot of them empty to take away stranded passengers.

>> ian, thank you. let's bring in cnn aviation analyst peter goels and michael wi wise, an author. peter, to you first. 99.9% certain is what one official says. what more do they need to become 100%? >> i think the only thing they need is for the egyptian government to acknowledge that this was a terrorist act. they have the information they need to make -- the voice recorder will have a sound at the end of it. it can be analyzed, it can be compared to previous terrorist acts. you know, you could look at the pan am 103 bombing over lockerbie and compare that sound to this sound. they can tell whether it is a high order explosive or not. now the egyptians have to bring forth the physical evidence that

they have on the ground and acknowledge that this is a terrorist act and they really are in a bind to put in the kind of protections at their airports so that people feel confident flying again. >> we will get back to that in a minute. michael, u.s. and british int intercepts of possibly isis chatter is a big part of what they are looking from. help us understand the chatter and how reliable is it, without compromising any information. >> whenever there is a disaster of this kind, terrorists like to claim responsibility for things they haven't done. >> right. >> so, you know, the nsa, gchq and intelligence agencies of united states and great britain apparently intercepted chatter before and after the explosion or the mid air disaster. indicating that jihadis running

around in the sinai had done this. a "the new york times" article put it very well yesterday. this was spotty intelligence, they said. this is not really deviating from the normal one tends to hear. what i suspect has happened now is, you know, we are now well beyond a week since this disaster took place. they have gathered even more intercepts. sinai assuming they are indeed the per traitor will have gotten in touch with isis central command, either in rocco or i'm also telling aleppo and praising and congratulating them for this spectacular operation and so on. there might also be now some human intelligence, some spies in egypt or perhaps even in syria and iraq who might shed some light on this. one of the angles that we haven't really discussed in the media is the israelis are quite good at understanding what is taking place in sinai and in egypt and they have a good

security relationship with the cc regime. there was some mention in the british press when this -- when the story that this might have been a terrorist attack first came to light that, in fact, the israelis were the ones to sort of bring this in the foreground and say they shared the information with the british. we will see more in the days to come. i'm sure they are sitting on a lot more intelligence than they have let on so far. >> sure. peter, lastly, the cockpit voice recorder we all listened together yesterday as the head of the commission there investigating this talked about this noise at the last second that they heard from the cockpit voice recorder, how reliable do you think that is to what really happened on that plane? >> well, it could be very reliable and high order explosive devices leave with distinct signature and we have got a number of voice recordings

of terrorist acts and nonterrorist acts over the years. they can be compared to each other and shown on a visual way whether they are similar or not. using sound spectrum analysis and other techniques, the investigators can zero in on that sound. then, in addition, the egyptians are going to have to open up the wreckage to allow investigators to really see where this explosion took place. the signatures of a bomb or a high order explosive will be in the wreckage and it can can't be disguised. >> good to know. peter and michael, we appreciate both of you gentlemen. thank you. republican presidential candidate marco rubio releases his controversial credit card statements. we have got new details on how much he spent on personal items. the big question here -- what does this mean for his campaign? also a nude photo scandal at

after a week of excrete knee, republican presidential candidate marco rubio has released american express statements going back ten years. >> chris frates has a look for us now of the finances and why

they are causing problems for the candidate at this moment. >> reporter: marco rubio he has come under intense fire for charging personal expenses to a florida republican party american express card when he was in state leadership in tallahassee. a few hours ago, his campaign issued 22 months of previously unreleased american express statements detailing his spending. the campaign said that rubio had the card for about four years. he charged about $180,000 during that time of which $22,000 were personal charges. now rubio always insisted for years he paid for all of those personal charges himself. the newly released statements covered a time between january 2005 and october of 2006 where rubio charged about 65,000 total and of much $7,000 was personal.

it includes $1,800 for a hotel and car rental when he had a trip to las vegas for personal reasons. he has family and relatives that live in the area. he also spent almost $3800 on pave pavers when he said he pulled out the wrong card to pay for them. he spent $600 at an auto dealer owned by a donor. he said he pay american express for the charges. even with the release of the amex statements, cnn could not independently verify which charges were personal and business-raet business-rated. rubio faced foreclosure on a home he owned in tallahassee. he has had to pay a bundle in taxes and penalties and he

splurged on 80,000 dollar boats. critics say those are no the salvest financial decisions. >> chris, thank you very much. question is will mario rubio, some would say his messy finances hurt him politically? or will he be able to turn this around and convince voters that a lot of people have struggles with credit cards. let's bring in cnn political commentator errol lewis. there have been calls not through this campaign but dating back to his 2010 campaign for senate where people wanted to see these statements. why are they doing it now? >> because marco rubio is a lot more relevant now and get more attention. had he a strong debate performance the last time around and he went from 5% in the polls to something like 14%. in many of the polls he is coming in third right behind trump and carson. so he's a force to be reckoned with. he is the highest polling in

recent polls he is the highest polling of actual politicians as opposed to some of these anomalies like trump or fiorina or carson. he's in for the lane that he is in among the traditional politicians. he is doing quite well and endorsements from three house republican senators who have endorsed him and a young rise in a hurry and this happens when people go back and give you a little bit of extra scrutiny and in this case what they found is that he's had some problems keeping his paper work straight and finances intact. >> $22,000 in personal charges to those credit cards according to chris frates' report there. does this answer the question or on end the calls for more releases of statements, or will he have to release proof he actually paid off all of these personal charges? >> no. look. marco rubio, i think, did a pretty good job he and his campaign of getting ahead of

this story by releasing all of this stuff. i went through this. you see all of the times he went to publix and bought stuff and local cvs and hotel stays he made while trying to help build the republican party in the state of florida. so if anybody got cheated a little bit on this, if anybody paid something they weren't supposed to, it was the republican party in florida and they are not complaining. so i think ordinary people will see this as a whole lot of nothing, although it is kind of interesting to see how politicians do their work. the real question is whether or not the endorsements slow down, whether the donors get laetia l bit anxious or so forth. this is not the thing that can blow you up. he has said in his book he wishes he hadn't done some of these particular expenses, but other than that, it just seemed like a young guy who is in his early 30s when all of this was going on who let all of this get away from him. if anybody has kept their paper

work perfectly straight on their expense bills at their company, i haven't met that person. everybody has these problems from time to time. >> adding the credit card issues with the foreclosure on the rental process and cashing out of retirement savings, jeb bush's campaign a ha said this is all fair game. any indication they will double-down after these releases or if this is even sticking? >> well, i doubt that it's going to stick like i said with ordinary people. the political class might, you know, raise an eyebrow here and there. i think they will absolutely continue to use it, jeb bush in particular because this is his home turf. as i mentioned if anybody had any complaints, it's the republican party in florida of which jeb bush was the head for quite a while when he was the governor. i think there will probably be some antagonism. we have seen it from donald trump, some complaints, some tweets, you know? it will kind of come up, but, again, victor, i just can't see this in a country facing the problems that we are facing,

really getting very much attraction because, in part, marco rubio got ahead of the story and he paid all of the bills. nobody is saying money went missing. they are saying this is a guy with financial struggles in his personal life and who didn't keep his paper work straight when he was doing some work for the party. >> the next debate is a few days away and we know marco rubio is quick on his feet in the debate or he'll have a line ready as he did in the last one. >> absolutely. >> errol lewis, thank you so much. >> thank you, victor. scores of high schoolers trading nude pictures. official say some of those pictures appear tavo have been taken at the school. university of missouri football players boycott. what is prompteding them to hang up their cleats. ing them to han up their cleats. ing them to han up their cleats.

colorado high school is caught in the middle of this felony investigation after police got a hold of at least three students cell phones and they contained hundreds of nude

pictures of themselves and classmates. >> at least some of these pictures appear to have been taken on school property. a lot of the photos were widely shared with others and complicating the issue is that many of the ultimately it will be up to prosecutors to decide if any charges will be filed against any of the students. canyon city superintendent was telling me that several students have been suspended. they range from eighth grade middle schoolers as well as high school seniors. the sexting scandal boils down to this. some of the students were sharing nude pictures of themselves with fellow class mates. the investigation suggesting that some of the photographs were not only shared on campus but potentially taken on school grounds. because there are minors involved here, many exchanging the pictures and a lot of gray area, according to the district

attorney. >> the district attorney's office will make distinctions as we see fit, depending on levels of coupup pblt whether or not things were consensual or not. >> canyon city school superintendent stressing what he wants the message to be for the students. the district attorney will be proceeding with, quote, common sense. and the school will be helping those who made a bad decision. this is not the end of the world for his students. he does, however, encourage parents to take a harder and closer look at what some of their children may be doing on their cell phones. many of the photographs shared are kept on photo vault which are on cell phones made to look like a calculator. >> i want to introduce you to the georgia state trooper who is making headlines. put yourself in the position
