3:00 am
now i'm mashing these potatoes with my stick of butter... why don't you sit over here. something for everyone is awesome. find your awesome with the xfinity stream app. more to stream to every screen. isis and other terror groups have found a way to hide powerful explosives in electronic devices to take down a commercial airliner has been the holy grail of any of these various plethora of terrorist groups. >> unfortunately they will make it through on one of these bombs, is my prediction. >> very mysterious to me why all
3:01 am
of a sudden general flynn says he wants immunity. >> if you're not guilty of a crime why do you need immunity. >> if you're given immunity that means you committed a crime. >> it wasn't that donald trump won the election it was that the democratic party lost the election. so glad to see you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. first on cnn u.s. intelligent agencies say terrorists found ways to hide explosives in electronics that can evade commonly used airport screeners. >> they have their own equipment to test whether they can bypass security. cnn's pentagon correspondent barbara starr walks us through. >> reporter: u.s. officials have grown kressley concerned about the threats against aviation that they are seeing not just from isis but al qaeda in syria
3:02 am
and al qaeda in yemen. u.s. intelligence and law enforcement agencies believe that isis and other terror groups have developed innovative ways to planned devices to fool airport screening. the concern is heightened because it's suggested terrorists have obtained sophisticated airport equipment to test how well the bombs are concealed. cnn learned this new intelligence was a significant part of the decision earlier this month to ban laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices from the passenger cabins of planes flying directly to the united states from ten middle eastern and northern african airports. demanding they be stored in checked luggage. >> elevated intelligence shows terrorist groups are targeting commercial ages and aggressive in pursuing innovative methods
3:03 am
to undertake their attacks. >> reporter: officials have told cnn there was credible and specific intelligence that isis would try to attack aviation assets and a hint from a top u.s. commander about why the accelerated effort on the ground in syria against the group. >> there's an imperative to get isolation in place around raqqah. because our intelligence feeds tell us that there is a significant external operation attacks planning. >> reporter: al qaeda's affiliate yemen has for years been active trying to target commercial airliners destined to the u.s., looking for ways for bombs that contain little or no metal contend to evade security devices including hiding
3:04 am
explosives in the batteries of electronic devices like laptops. and in 2016 a wake up call. when a laptop bomb according to somalia authorities was used to blow a hole in this somalia passenger jet. the plane landed safely despite the attack claimed by the al qaeda affiliate al shabaab. cnn has learned the explosives were hidden in space created by removing parts of the dvd drive. the transportation security administration gave cnn a statement noting that while they won't discuss specific intelligence, they continue to monitor all the threats that they see and that they will change security procedures as they see fit. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. our aviation analyst joining us now and form near spector general for the department of transportation. let's talk about the reality of this risk. do you have any sense of how close they really are to putting this theory into practice?
3:05 am
>> well, yes. we have a pretty good idea because of the attack in 2016 on the somalia jetliner. and there there's a little bit of a different twist from what we're seeing now. in surveillance tapes of that airport what was revealed is that it appeared that the bombers there, the bomber there might have had inside help from the airport. there was some discussion as to whether on the surveillance tape the laptop was actually passed around security or was gone -- went through security and people just didn't inspect it. later on two people were sought to be arrested. one was killed. others were taken into custody. but now it's changed in that they don't think that insiders would be necessary. they have so increased their capability that the u.s. at least and others, the uk are saying it can skirt the traditional screening methods. so now whether that means we need additional kinds of sensing
3:06 am
devices, dogs, which are usually the best, that remains to be seen. >> let's talk about the equipment that they have now gotten their hands on. cnn is reporting according to sources that some of these would be attackers have obtained the hi-tech screening devices to determine how detectable these bombs would be in an airport. how would they get their hands on those? >> well, unfortunately, you know there was a big push after september 11, 2001 to try to get all the airports in the world and those of aviation nations and with treatmenties we allow such nations to fly to and from the united states, we commanded, we required and we should nations that fly here to have security that matches ours. and that only makes sense because if one airport is weak in the system they can compromise them all because passengers land behind security. so we among other nations said hey get this modern security in
3:07 am
or you're not flying here. we kportd it. and it only takes, you know, one bad actor somewhere in the world to sell this equipment and also there's been -- it hasn't been well policed because we wanted everybody to buy it. this is one of the most dangerous developments. what we saw leading up to september of 2001 was immense amounts testing that terrorists put in before carrying out their attacks. we had intelligence about it but had a piecemeal response to what we knew. here i think the response is good and necessary but we got make sure it's not piecemeal. if they are able to test their devices when they finally deploy they will work. >> so i want to talk about the origin of these. many of the attackers that we've seen, even in general when it comes to being radicalized are native to their own countries, say the uk, and other places in europe. so do you think this ban that we're talking about of middle
3:08 am
eastern countries and north african countries is that enough? do you think that ban needs to be more expansive. how do you stop somebody who is native from doing this. >> your right. no i don't think the ban is enough. i think it was a necessary first step and i suspect there will be additional steps after that. but it's not enough. you also have the problem of you land at an intermediate airport. this ban was on nonstop flights to the u.s. you land to an intermediate airport there are passengers from all over the world. there was a report from uk even airports that had banned to the u.s. allowed passengers to mingle once they were past security. so i think that the initial ban was probably a hasty response. it should be expanded. it will be expanded. it has to be. >> a lot of questions still to be answered. thank you very much.
3:09 am
president trump having a hard time shaking off the russia controversy. it's still swirling around the white house. now his former security advisory michael flynn offering his testimony in exchange for immunity. donald trump calls it a witch-hunt. during an executive order signing ceremony the president walked out without truly signing the orders. targeting trade abuses after reporters asked questions about flynn. >> plus new documents out show the white house is stacked with advisers who raked in millions of dollars last year including daughter ivanka trump and son-in-law jared kushner whose combined assets could exceed $700 million. let's bring in our political commentator and sarah westwood, white house correspondent for the "washington examiner". good morning. so sara let's start here. the trumps are rich. that's not breaking news. a lot of people around the trumps in the white house are rich. that's not breaking news either.
3:10 am
what to you is the headline out of these 180 or so financial disclosures? >> i think it's particular when you look at jared kushner and ivanka trump's financial disclosures this is part of the reason why the trump team ultimately made the decision to bring both on board in an official capacity and did not let them continue to advise the president in an ad hoc role because it forced them to undergo this financial disclosure process, it forced the home divest their assets and we wouldn't have seen that otherwise if they continued to informally advise president trump. they could have retained all of those assets. jared kushner resigned 200 some positions in order to take his role as president trump's senior adviser. that wouldn't have happened if he had an informal role. while there's claims of. nepotism, it was necessary.
3:11 am
>> we know that there was some re-organization of the trump organization as it relates to the d.c. hotel so that the president would not personally profit from it while he's in office but we know that ivanka trump will still maintain her stake there. is there conflict of interest considering she's not an elected official but she still will be making money from potentially foreign dig any tears coming to stay at the trump hotel. >> there are multiple conflict of interest here. jared kushner sort of divested himself or reshuffled within his own family in many cases some of his ownership interest but he still has kept reportedly upwards $240 million worth of companies that are or company wealth that he does have control over. we should keep in mind it's not just about conflict of interest, it's also about being able to influence the white house and one can certainly do that. there's such a vast array of
3:12 am
different companies that one can sort of overpay for certain services, or just pay anything for service, even market prices in order to ingratiate one self. the question on the final with conflict of interest is a simple one and a test that trump organization and its members don't want to pass. are you in this as a business or are you serving the public good exclusively. president trump himself has never wanted to answer that question in any kind of comprehensive way nor has nbc of his family. it's without precedent, indeed. >> the former national security adviser michael flynn offered to tell his story in exchange for immunity. the reporting is the fbi is not interested in speaking with him again nor are they inned in any deal for immunity, and the investigations on capitol hill aren't looking to give him immunity either. what can you deduce from that rejection of an immunity deal, if anything? >> well, i think it's created a lot of opportunities for some
3:13 am
delicious irony for people who watched the hillary clinton team take a lot of heat for having five of its aides, five of hillary clinton's former aides receive immunity in the e-mail deal. mike flynn himself talked about that decision and said it was a definite grouch hillary clinton's guilt and now you have a prominent former aide at the trump white hou offering to testify in exchange for immunity. that definitely created the opportunity for the trump white house to revisit the e-mail scandal, something they would love to do at every opportunity. it allowed some of hillary clinton supporters i think to feel a little vindicate this is happening to the trump team. >> is there potentially an expectation thagt he has nothing to offer that they don't already have, that he can't offer a bigger fish? >> no. look every person is entitled to legal counsel and any competent legal counsel would tell you there's no way you walk into
3:14 am
such a charged atmosphere without getting something in return as far as protection. his do your is doing what any lawyer would do as mrs. clinton's. there's some irony here. one of the ugly moments in politics was mike flynn floorn at the convention in cleveland leading chants of lock her up. he knows very well because he used to lead, he led those chants what mob mentality, how dangerous it is, how ugly it is, how inaccurate it can be. a so, yes, he doesn't want to be part of what he himself has created and it's not just ironic, it's what the new politics in washington appears to be based on. >> stick around we got more questions for you. >> sure. charges are filed after that massive fire takes down part of an atlanta interstate. the thing just collapsed. next investigators are getting
3:15 am
their first clues as to what likely caused it. >> the u.s. expands its investigation after dozens of people are killed in the iraq. the united states and their alice are they responsible for those deaths? binge,... ...surf, shop, navigate, listen, game, stream and more. all without the hassle of worrying about overages... ...or running out of data. it's less than $40 per line per month with 4 lines. and remember, it's at&t's best, unlimited data deal ever. so get at&t, get unlimited and get everyone more for less. it's realizing beauty doesn't stop at my chin. roc®'s formula adapts to delicate skin areas. my fine lines here? visibly reduced in 4 weeks. chest, neck, and face cream from roc®. methods, not miracles.™ nosy neighbor with a glad bag, full of trash. what happens next? nothing. only glad has febreze to neutralize odors for 5 days.

3:19 am
get this. three people are facing charges this morning after that massive fire that collapsed part of an atlanta interstate. here are the pictures. fire investigators think one of the suspects set construction materials on fire. this was under part of i-85. it happened on thursday. look at the smoke coming from this thing. it was an enormous fire. eventually it caused a piece of the interstate to just come to the ground. it buckled there. repairs to the major highway could take several months . look, we live in atlanta. i can tell you, i thought that we just had a storm coming in.
3:20 am
that's how dark the clouds were. then my husband came home no there's a fire. he heard a truck was on fire. obviously it was more than that. >> this will be shut down for months as they have to repair. >> they are saying six months or so. >> the surrounding roads. we'll be following how that impact business there's. let's turn now to the u.s., expanding the investigation into air strikes said to have killed more than 100 civilians in iraq. >> the u.s. and allies dropped dozens of bombs in mosul on a day that civilians were killed. ben wedeman live in iraq for us. from your end in iraq what are you hearing about this formal investigation? >> reporter: this is an investigation into an incident, christie, that took placed on the 17th of march. this is in the western part of the city. we understand from pentagon
3:21 am
officials that on that morning the coalition dropped 36 bombs in the area of western mosul, including 2,000 pound, 500 pound and 250 pounds, they were dropped by french, belgian, british and american aircraft. in addition to that they fired 33 artillery and 12 smoke rounds into the area as well. just to give you and idea of how much fire power the coalition is using in the past week alone they dropped more than 700 bombs, fired more than 400 artillery rounds. they also say the pentagon officials they have video of isis fighters forcing civilians into buildings which they then use as fighting positions which may explain why so many civilians were killed on the morning of the 17th of march. at least 140 civilians, according to the latest count.
3:22 am
>> ben, thank you. can you tell us what's happening in the fight in mosul? what's the latest? >> reporter: well the fight has really slowed down because of the level of resistance by isis. there was initialing in the initial weeks the iraqi forces were making good progress but they are bogged down in and around the old city. they are now fighting -- there's intense fighting around the grand mosque where in july of 2014, abu bakr al baghdadi, the head of the islamic state made his most notable appearance. that's what the iraqi forces are focusing on. but the level of resistance is quite high and progress has been very difficult in recent weeks. >> ben wedeman, live in iraq for us there. thank you so much. some members of the house committee investigating potential connections between

3:28 am
intel ofincidental documents. while i can't discuss the content of the documents if the white house had any concern over these materials they should have been shared with the full committee in the first place. nothing i see warranted a departure from normal procedures and these materials should be provide to full membership of both committees. nic robertson is with us as well as sara westwood. good morning to you both. sara, obviously some information the ranking member cannot discuss. what do you make of his initial statement, though, this should have been shared with the full committee? >> democrats on the house intelligence committee have been upset about the deviation from normal procedure since chairman nunes stepped foot on white house grounds on march 22nd. this isn't surprising that schiff fell back on a process argument after reviewing these
3:29 am
documents. i think looking to process and looking to deviation from normal procedures has and about tactic employed by both sides in this investigation when they feel backed into a corner. remember the information leaked out about michael flynn the trump white house and republicans were crying out about how this information was leaked illegally, this is classified information, the process of how this intel ended up in the hands of reporters and not wanting to confront the substance of those allegations that flynn maybe misled the vice president over his discussions with the russian ambassador. now tables are turned. republicans have what they characterized as a smoking gun about obama administration surveillance tactics and democrats are the ones pointing to process as a defense. so this is sort of a tactic that's familiar in this russian situation. >> chairman nunes, no doubt is feeling the heat back in his district in fresno, california. take a look here. cnn captured it on camera ducking into a building to avoid
3:30 am
some of the protests going on out there. let's listen to what one protester had to say here. >> it doesn't seem like he has our interest in mind. and it's unfortunate because he works for us. he doesn't work for trump. and that seems like his first priority lately is working for trump. >> how much is his credibility at stake here as much as you can tell, sara? >> certainly, he has suffered some credibility issues. there are calls for his recusal. this is not something we've seen before. he has led a lot of investigations in the past. he was one of the members that looked into allegations of covering up sensitive intelligence in reports under the obama administration so he's no stranger to controversial intelligence conversations but this is a new level of pressure for devin nunes. be interesting how he responds to it nuclear program he's not heeding calls for recusal. he doesn't see the need.
3:31 am
down the road be interesting to see if it has any long term implications for his career or if this is just a flash in the pan and if he can continue with his career without having this hanging over his head. it really depends on how he responds to this criticism and whether he does bring democratic members of that committee into the process earlier rather than cutting them out of the loop which is the main criticism. >> it seems like president trump cannot get away from the russia discussion. secretary of state rex tillerson, defense secretary james mattis publicly condemning russia over its interference in the 2016 election as well as its actions in ukraine. they said that just this week. let's listen quickly. >> we want to obviously have a discussion around nato's posture here in europe, most particularly eastern europe in response to russia's aggression in ukraine and elsewhere. >> russia's violation of international law is now a matter of record from what happened with crimea to other
3:32 am
aspects of their behavior in monkeying around inside of other people's elections and that sort of thing. >> very different language than what we've heard from president trump, especially candidate trump as he at times praised president putin. what are you hearing there from russia, from the kremlin about these latest comments? >> sure. the kremlin is pushing back. this isn't the administration the kremlin thought they were getting. if you remember how well, if you like, how favorably they covered president trump just a couple of months ago. that's all gone away. what we have today is the russian president spokesman saying he think, russia thinks the situation is worse now than it was during the cold war. this is how he put it. >> if we're at the lowest point in history we're in a new cold war.
3:33 am
>> new cold war? well maybe even worse. maybe even worse taking into account actions for the present presidential administration. >> now secretary mattis when he was here in london met with the british secretary of defense, michael fallon. michael fallon coked what mattis has said, russia has a pattern of interference. that's the view from here. britain has contributed 800 troops to estonia over 800 fighting vehicles, helped the u.s. to transport tanks across poland. it's a joint joined up effort to shift some forces, nato forces, u.s. force, canadian forces, british forces, other forces to shore up the defenses in the baltic states and in poland because of their concerns of russian agreegs in ukraine.
3:34 am
the language we're hearing from the secretary of defense, secretary of state, very strong echoed by their allies but russia casting this, somehow that they are the one having wrong done to them. >> you mentioned british defense secretary michael fallon. and you mentioned what he said about a pattern of interference. he said we need to be wary of what russia is up to and why there cannot be any return to business as usual with russia. what is russia up to a lot of people are asking. to that you say what? >> i think, you know, i was interested by the language that secretary mattis used yesterday. he said that russia and he said this wise actually when speaking about russia these precise words that russia has decided to be a strategic competitor rather than if you go back five or ten years ago when we thought that we could have a relationship with them going forward and, indeed, the secretary-general at nato
3:35 am
has said that we can only at this time now deal with rush from a position of strength. we want to engage with them diplomatically, politically. fallon and mattis also echoed this saying we need to carve out the diplomatic space to make that possible to have those conversations but we need to dproit a position of strength. that's the view here. russia has chosen to be a strategic competitor and that, if you will, makes the situation between nato and russia more dangerous than it was five or ten years ago. >> one more quick question to you. obviously we can't get away from russia because it's part of what's happening in the world and there's so many questions about it. is there any one thing you see that could happen that could get the conversation and the dialogue back to more policy with president trump? >> president trump's team just needs allow the investigation to proceed as quickly and as
3:36 am
smoothly as possible. i think it was a smart move to invite reagan membership to white house to review these documents. the quicker this is over as far as the trump administration is concerned the better. they should have this proceed as quickly as possible. it's clear they believe this is a partisan exercise. if they learn anything from the clintons and what they dealt with the whitewater scandal the under lying allegations turned out to be nothing major that real estate deal he was accused of meddling with in an inappropriate way but "today" tempts to cover up documents stretched years that led to independent counsels and cast a shadow over a lot of his presidency the things that came out in that investigation. the under lying allegations the reason why the investigation started wasn't a big deal at all. so lots of politicians have learned that lesson the hard way the cover up is often worse than the crime so the trump administration would do well to just comply and get it over with. >> interesting point.

possible tornado tearing through virginia beach, destroying at least a dozen homes, damaging two dozen others. so far though, thankfully no injuries reported. >> a pastor said the storm tore a third of his churn across the street. there's a round of early spring snow to talk about. >> i feel for people who have -- it's april. this is not an april fools' joke. >> it's not. >> this is real. >> oh, my goodness. if i one it, fritz the same storm system that hit virginia beach. is that right? >> indeed it is. it's been a tight compact where the severe weather was located but there's also other impacts. here again you can see all of the storm reports we had yesterday, limited to the carolinas and virginia. that's about it. but it still was enough to do some damage to at least this section of the storm. but it is related to the same
3:43 am
storm that is bringing a lot of heavy snow to portions of the northeast. so let's take a look at that forecast. that's presented by xyzal. so the details for the northeast portion of this storm include a lot of winter weather. we're talking snow, we're talking sleet and even some rain kind of mixed in at times. right now we have just about over 10 million people under some type of winter storm warning or winter weather advisory. here's how this storm is going to progress. now interior new england has pretty much been all entirely snow. but as you get closer to the coast a lot more rain has been able to factor in. we're already looking at snow that's dropped six inches in boston. more expected. if you have travel plans in this region check with your carriers to make sure you won't experience long term delays with those storms. but we're also not in the clear from severe weather either. just going frontal boundary an unrelated storm. here's a look where we have the
3:44 am
main threats today, dallas, austin texas, tomorrow that low typicalens, strengthens and pulls up that bulk moisture an will give us much more tremendous severe threat area for tomorrow with potential for tornadoes. here's the thing you have to understand what we're dealing with so far this year. look at the amount of tornadoes. january, we had 141 tornadoes. the average is 40. then you go into february. we had 115. the average is only 60. march we had 168 and the average is 93. so the trend has been there that we're above average each month for tornadoes. the thing is that doesn't always mean anything. that doesn't mean trend will continue but we certainly hope not because april really begins our peak season. >> exactly. >> alison, thanks so much. so this is a sound i never here in person. roar of an avalanche coming down in juneau, alaska.
3:45 am
