good morning. so grateful to have you on board with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. we have new pictures from "rolling stone" magazine. you see on the left of your screen is oscar winning actor sean penn with joaquin guzman. penn met guzman because he wanted to learn more about him. what you're about to see is part of an interview with guzman answering follow up questions sent from penn. watch. >> how did you get involved in the drug business? >> translator: from the age 15

and on, where i'm from, i was raised in a ranch. in that area, and until today, there are no job opportunities. >> is it true what they say that drugs destroy humanity and bring harm? >> translator: well, it's a reality that drugs destroy. unfortunately, as i said, where i grew up, there's no other way. there still isn't a way to survive. no other way to work. to be able to make a living. >> do you think it's true you're responsible for the high level of drug addiction and the fact there are so many drugs in the world? >> translator: no. that's false. because the day i don't exist there's not going to be a decrease in any way at all. drug trafficking that's false. >> it's surprising how did you get involved with the drug business was a follow up

question after so many hours of face to face. let's go to vitamin -- cnn's nick valencia outside the prison where guzman is being held. how did they connect? >> reporter: it's remarkable as rare. the first interview el chapo has given was to a celebrity. sean penn was able to connect after an interview was brokered between him and a famous mexican actress here. it reportedly took place three months after the escape of el chapo from the prison behind me. it took place in an undisclosed place in mexico. you talk about the follow up questions there. we have a chunk of interview we would like to play for you that was released last night on rollingstone.com. >> how did you get involved in

the drug business? >> translator: from the age 15 and on, where i'm from, i was raised in a ranch called l la tuna. in that area, and until today, there are no job opportunities. >> translator: is it true what they say? drugs destroy humanity and bring harm? >> translator: well, it's a reality that drugs destroy. unfortunately, as i said, where i grew up, there's no other way. there still isn't, a way to survive. no other way to work in our economy. to be able to make a living. >> translator: do you think it's true you're -- >> reporter: now i mentioned that actress. she put out a series of tweets in 2012 that were critical of the mexican government and celebrated the drug trafficker

guzman. apparently a friendship started between el chapo and the actress. that was their communication they continued over the years through letters and blackberry messages even while el chapo was incarcerated here. el chapo talks about being in the drug trade starting at age of 15 saying he had no other option trying to get out of the small town where he was from. >> we know the u.s. has been chomping at the bit to get guzman into the u.s. to have him extradited to the u.s. even before the most recent escape they were trying to get him into the country. we know from the mexican attorney general's office since guzman has been recaptured at the beginning of the extradition proceedings should begin. help us understand the next steps and the timing, likely, for the extradition. >> reporter: well, we spoke yesterday to a senior mexican

law enforcement official who did tell us it was going to be very likely that extradition was going to happen. we hear it will happen. the time table -- it's not going to be a quick one. we have reports out there. we reader reports that this extradition could happen as early as this summer. yesterday that source telling me that it's not going to be a very fast process. there needs to be formalities and formal stages. the u.s. needs to formally take steps in tprocess. the u.s. is eager. a being concern is the trust and concern that el chapo may escape yet again. he's done it twice. this is a prison he's very familiar with. and that's the concern for u.s. authorities he could escape again. they want the process to happen as quickly as possible. >> and the expectations is that guzman does not have the reach, doesn't have the influence inside the u.s. as he does

inside mexico with the inside and outside of law enforcement. nick valencia, thank you very much. >> we'll have more on the meeting in a minute. i have new video i want you to look at here of the hotel room where guzman was held while police waited for back up to arrive. martin savage went to that motel. martin? >> reporter: this hotel is located on the outskirts of the town. maybe about, oh, three or four miles. about six kilometers. when you look at it, it's a perfect place for federal authorities to bring el chapo. remember, it's just after they've had a shoot out. after they chased him, allegedly, through the sewer system. this is a hotel room that its own garage space. the federal authorities could have pulled in here and taken el chapo out under cover and walked him into this room. if you look, this is the room. it's the room that you see that has been made famous now as a result of the photograph.

in fact, just sort of guesstimating el chapo would have been sitting about here looking off in that direction. with a rather sullen look on his face. there's one thing messing. certainly a lot of men did in the photograph, there was another photo of a woman not wearing a whole lot. it was up in this area. it appears that has been taken down. who has it or why? we don't know. but we do know that federal authorities had el chapo in here for about an hour and a half until they can get reinforcements, until they can essentially get their act together to be ready to move and transport him. fairly standard room. it's got a toilet. it's got a shower, and it's got a sink and wash up area. it's located right by the highway. so in are a lot of things that make this room almost ideal for the job they had, and it's

hidden away. thanks to that photograph, thank to the most wanted man in all of america. this room is now world famous. martin savage, cnn los mochis, mexico. let's bring constitutional attorney into this conversation. i want to get back to what a lot of people are talking about, you know, in their conversations today and online. is this meeting between sean penn and guzman himself. did penn and rolling stone have any legal obligation, do you think, to alert authorities to the meeting? >> well, not legally. perhaps ethically and morally, but the law is very specific about a crime of harboring or assisting a fugitive. you have to be able to prove that the person gave them some type of assistance. gave them money or food, tried to keep them from authorities. in some way assisted them in evading capture.

i don't think what we've heard right now is enough to rise to that level. >> okay. so you don't think there are any charges that could be forthcoming for either the magazine or for sean penn himself? >> not based on what we know at this point. if they did anything to try to assist him or some of his associates in evading capture, then perhaps. we don't know at this point what communications they had with his associates. what, if any, compaensation. the resources for the meeting. did they feed him or give him a place to stay? i think mexican and american authorities want to look into those before making a final decision. >> is there an investigation into either the actor or magazine? >> i've heard they want to question them. that's all i know at this point. >> i want to ask you about something guzman said to penn. because guzman in an interview in '93 he was interviewed by a group of reporters. he didn'ted a edenied any drug

whatsoever. he said, quote, i supply more heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine more than anybody else in the world. is that an outright confession that can be used against him? >> absolutely. he gave a statement and it was not made to the lawyer. it was made to the celebrity and the media. they can absolutely use that very tape we saw in a trial later against him. >> all right, page pate, appreciate your insight. get your dollars together because powerball the jackpot is going up above a billion dollars. >> oh, my gosh. >> no winner last night in the powerball drawing. it was at almost $950 million for the jackpot there. they got my $20 and probably $20 more. the jackpot will hit $1.3 billion on wednesday. maybe go beyond that. >> if you get that, you'll probably see somebody else next to me.

>> sure will. >> don't toss the tickets. there are smaller prizes likely out there. i believe you win $100,000 if you get everything but the powerball ticket. >> a million. >> is it a million? >> oh. the winning numbers were 32, 16, 19, 57, 34 and lucky number 13 for the powerball. in this case, really lucky. still to come the united states flies a b-52 bomber over south korea days after north korea carried out a nuclear bomb test. cnn is the only u.s. news organization inside north korea. we'll take you live to pyongyang next. donald trump ramps up the birther campaign against cruz. what cruz has to say about it now. 50 and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind.

. breaking news out of yemen. doctors without borders says

four people were killed and ten others injured when a hospital they were working at in northern yemen was hit by some kind of project tile. the impact, we understand, happened early this morning arou around 9:20 a.m. local time. people may be trapped in the rubble where several buildings collapsed. we'll continue to follow this and bring you updates as they come into us. the u.s. air force sent north korea a warning this weekend. days after pyongyang conducted the fourth nuclear test. the u.s. responded with a show of force deploying a b-52 bomber to the korean peninsula. the bomber, which can carry nuclear weapons, was joined by south korea fighter jets. did not fly directly over north korea but admiral harry harris, jr. called it a, quote, demonstration of the ironclad u.s. commitment to our allies in south korea, japan, and the

defense of the american homeland. cnn's will ripley joins us now with the latest. he's the only reporter from a u.s. news organization reporting from inside north korea. he's inside pyongyang. tell us about the fly over and how it's being receive there d had, will. >> reporter: it was an interesting move on the part of the united states. a lot of experts dispute it was a hydrogen bomb but a troubling situation for the united states. its key ally, south korea, japan, and the whole world. because it's a sign that the regime is actively growing the nuclear arsenal. so after north korea's last nuclear test in 2013, it took a full month before the united states decided to do a similar move where they flew a bomber very close to the demilitarized zone. they did it twice. they flew a b-52 and then they also flew a stealth bomber, a

b-2 that dropped eight dummy pounds that weighed about 2,000 pounds each. they were dropped on a target. clearly a show of force. clearly the bombers, and the bomber that flew close to the border today was escorted by south korea fighter jets in addition to american fighter jets as well. now what we have to wait to see is exactly how the regime will respond. there was an editorial put out by state media earlier today. it didn't specifically address this bombing run, so we don't know if it was written before or after it happened. what we know is after the 2013 incident, north korea aimed its missiles at u.s. bases both in south korea and the pacific, and also put the long range missiles on standby to -- in a direction toward the united states. they used words like "burning with hatred" to describe the situation before it eventually deescaladed. nothing like that here in pyongya

pyongyang. we'll have to see what happens. >> will ripley reporting from p pyongyang. thank you so much. gop candidate ted cruz said it's a settled issue. donald trump? not so much. he's intensifying his attacks in the birther battle. coming up we're going to talk live with jake tapper. he was on the campaign buzz with ted cruz in iowa. find out what he had to say. before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain,

these feet served my country, carried the weight of a family, and walked a daughter down the aisle. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. and my biggest reason to walk calls me grandpa. ask your doctor about lyrica. so we know how to cover almost alanything. thing,
