kicking off international military exercise as the world waits and see how north korea responds. >> washington is downplaying these annual war games now that president trump plans an historic face-to-face meeting with north korea's leader. ♪ good sunday morning to you. i'm diane gallagher in for christi paul. i'm victor blackwell. happy sunday and happy easter to you. escalating tensions overnight in sacramento, california. a woman was hit bay sheriff's deputy's car and it drove away during a protest for the death of stephon clark. >> protesters were yelling and pounding and kicking the vehicle's instructor. the sheriff's deputy vehicle sustained scratches, dents, and a shattered rear window. the damage to the vehicle was not a result of the collision involving the pedestrian but was caused by vandals in the crowd. >> not clear if it's using a

statement -- >> to justify that this deputy hit the gas in that crowd. >> cnn has obtained video of the incident but before we show it, we want to warn you some of you may find is a little disturbing. >> no justice. [ bleep ]. no justice. >> oh, my gosh! >> you saw remain the woman is carrying the sign crossing in front of the deputy's car signaling for it to stop. then the sheriff's deputy car, it appears to accelerate and we see it hit her. police say the woman was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. cnn correspondent ryan young is in sacramento and has more for us. >> reporter: the protests for stephon clark in sacramento have been peaceful up until this point. tonight, we felt the most intense interaction between police and protests.

you can behind me you can see people are donned their riot gear after interaction between a sheriff's deputy and a protester. it appears a woman was trying to stop a deputy's car from moving through protesters. then there was a hit, an impact between the two. not sure what happened. what we are showing you now. look at the sheriff's deputies and police officers from around the area decided to come down here and cue in case anything happens here. of course, this is after a day full of protests where nothing has happened but now that tenseness has bubbled up and there is definitely a tense moment, not only between protesters but between the police officers who are definitely trying to protect and maintain the peace. you can see a little bit of it in the video there, but look. police were lined up in riot gear as 50 to a hundred demonstrators were peacefully protesting. ryan young also spoke with one of the witnesses of that collision between the sheriff's deputy car and the protester. listen to what they had to say.

>> two sacramento sheriff's deputies were coming westbound. the first one got through the crowd. the second one decided he was in a hurry and hit one of the protesters who was on the curbside of the street. and then ran. >> obviously, there are still questions here. the police say that the investigation is ongoing. we will bring you more as soon as we learn more. president trump and the first family spending his easter at the florida resort where they often go on the weekends but when he returns to washington this afternoon, a familiar face and a very close confidant is going to be missing. >> the president said good-bye to his former communications coordinator hope hicks and sources say he may not replace him. according to kristaps porzingis president trump is growing more independent and defiant and wants to call his own shots.

abby phillips joins us from florida where the president is this morning. good morning and happy easter to you, abby. >> happy easter, victor. good morning. the president in florida has spent the last several days playing golf and doing a little bit of tweeting. it's been a fairly low key weekend for him. in the last week, we have seen him doing a lot more of the things that he wants to do and now "the washington post" is reporting that the president feels emboldened. he is going into his second year as president and a lot of his senior staffers, the people who have been closest to him a long time, are leaving. as a result, he is relying more on himself. here is why this matters. there have been a number of big moves in the last several weeks that have really reflected the president's own instincts. just last week, he announced that he wanted the united states to pull out of syria, you know, catching his defense department off-guard. he announced tariffs that were opposed by a number of his staff members and announced his white house position would be named the v.a. secretary.

all of these moves, sources tell "the washington post" are a reflection of the fact the president wants to call his own shots in this stage of his administration. but some people worry that it means that he is not relying on the people around him who are the experts, who have the expertise in some of these areas. sources have also told cnn that the president is being advised by some people around him that he doesn't even need a communications director now that hope hicks is gone. and that if general john kelly were to leave the white house, he might not need to replace him, in essence, the president could be his own chief of staff. already, we have seen the president relying on his own instincts and relying less on his staff members. there are people who used to be in this white house who are now gone who used to be kind of guardrails around him when it comes to policy and decision making. it remains to be seen what impact that is going to have going forward, especially as we see the president growing more frustrated with his cabinet and more frustrated with the pace of decision making in his

government. >> abby phillips in west palm beach florida, thank you. joining me is washington bureau chief for the chicago sun times, lynn sweet. lynn, good morning to you. >> good morning, victor. >> so let's start here and pick up where abby left off about this intrigue about general kelly if the president takes extremely step of running a white house without a chief of staff. let's at least consider that kelly stays. could he stay in some diminished role like a priebus style chief of staff without the gatekeeper he once was? >> of course, he could. it's a nontraditional model but everything about the trump presidency is nontraditional trump. i think the issue isn't so much of having a strong chief of staff as having an impulse sieve president. if that is the case the job of

the chief of staff is different than any chief of the staff we have seen in repeat presidencies, partly because of the power -- this is our communication question -- partly of the power of the presidential tweeting that he does which helps sets agenda and policy and politics. >> we know that the president has long consulted these outside advisers, a friend from the business community, friends that he has made over the last 30 or 40 years. are there any of those kind of kitchen cabinet consultants who are suggesting that he keep a traditional structure after white house even for this nontraditional approach, this nontraditional president? >> i am impressed that one of the people he has been seen with at mar-a-lago is great boxing promotor don king so i'm sure if we have a national boxing policy he will be well-informed on that one. now, on a serious note, i don't know firsthand what the people are telling him but i do know

what the president does each day and that is he somehow seems with all this chaotic staffing, seems to be confusing true substantive change to carry out his policies and agenda that he ran on but just keeping moving the chess pieces or throwing the chess pieces up in the air. that is not the same thing as winning the board game. >> let me get your thoughts on something that is really getting some traction on social media. the white house released the photo of the spring 2018 interns. there has been a lot of criticism from people about the perceived lack of diversity of this group. just for comparison sake, we see this as the trump group. let's look at the obama photographs from one of their classes of interns just for comparison sake. and your thoughts on what we are seeing of the reaction to this photo. >> well, i must say in this case, i was my own one-woman focus group.

saw at that time first, i thought how does that happen and is this a one-off? i think this photo is just a silent, but strong statement to the lack of the commitment of the high levels of the trump white house to assemble when they do something important like the white house intern program. a group that is as diverse as america. victor, the picture, if it were just one off if there were other groups you say look at the rich diversity here and this was just a particular set of circumstances, okay, we would get it. but i think the reason that it kind of resonates is that it suggests this is not the case. remember back in the days of clinton? he wanted to assemble a cabinet that looked like america and that was a value. with president obama, it wasn't even, you know, by then, it didn't even have to be stated that clearly. it just happened because the people around him were diverse. this photo, i think, is the output of an administration that just didn't put a priority in

how the people that they selected to reflect the divertity of america. >> you mentioned the president's cabinet. we have a photo of the cabinet as we discuss diversity in government. here is picture of at least some of those members here. >> yes. >> and mostly white men in the president's cabinet. "the washington post," in their write on this, i think their first line suggests or at least exposes a larger problem. the latest class of white house interns is a reminder that diversity and government isn't an issue only at senior levels. it starts at the bottom. >> absolutely. and that is why i was saying that this is a photo -- this photo is an important one, because these people, people who end up in white house internship programs, no matter the administration, very often are part of the pipeline of people that end up years later in life for people that are on your show, i'm interviewing important positions, selected or appointed run for office.

so as this is important to get it right or be more thoughtful about the importance of diversity even at the beginning and this white house internship program which has been around a while, is a very important starting point for a lot of people in public life. >> yeah, there is no disconnect between policy and politics and personnel and we need to have those conversations simultaneously. lynn sweet, thanks so much. >> thanks, victor. elizabeth esty is resigning and kept her chief of staff on the payroll three months after she found out he threatened and assaulted another aide he used to date. >> esty is standing firm saying she has important work to do in congress including building on the lessons of this horrible series of events. watch "state of the union" with jake tapper this morning.

decisions that worried his fellow students and then campus police, he is now being kicked out of the country. the purchase of a rifle, a dramatic change in appearance, holding up inside his room and a pricey shopping spree that included a corvette, a student at the university of central florida is being deported to china after the school's police chief said there was red flag after red flag that something bad would happen. >> we just saved a bunch of lives. there is no doubt about it. >> reporter: police started investigating 26-year-old wenly sun earlier this year after he made unusual statements to a school official. they flagged it to the atf and found out that sun owned an assault-style rifle and ammunition. whether a. when a deduct interviewed him, sun referred to his weapon as a sniper rifle but said he never thought about hurting himself or others. days after that interview, he bought a second assault-style wilve rifle. this one with a tripod and then

a scope. police were monitoring sun but said he owned both go guns legally. then his visa was revoked due to an issue unrelated to his gun purchases and he stopped going to class. >> i think there was disaster to happen and we stopped it. >> reporter: he is hold by immigration officials and is expected to be deported soon and not allowed to return to the u.s. for ten years. campus police say other students who own guns should not be concerned. they say this case was about the behavior of one student whose actions showed he was in crisis. this morning, the u.s. and south korea are kicking off massive military drills off the korean peninsula. >> ships like you see here are participating in this year's so-called war games but things are different in 2018. the exercises are taking on a different kind of tone as the u.s. and south korea hope to upset the nuclear dictator as

they work on nuclear weapons. >> we continue to send strong message about our treaty commitments to the south and the seriousness with which we take the security on the peninsula. at the same time, we are taking measures that are in keeping with the warmer rhetoric, the reduced tensions that are on the peninsula. i think it makes a lot of sense. senior senior white house correspondent paula hand korks is live in seoul. >> they are half the duration they usually are. they start today. they will go for a month. but usually -- in fact, last year, they went for two months so we are definitely seeing it scaled back when it comes to the duration. the pentagon and south korea are insisting that the scope is the same, the scale is the same. 11.5,000 u.s. troops for this

one that starrted today. 295,000 south korean troops. the same thing is the messaging. by this time, usually, we have a number of media day set up and we know we will be invited to go and film an awful lot of these drills so we can show the world and, of course, we can show north korea what the capability of the u.s. and south korean militaries are but doesn't seem to happen this time around. we are getting the sense this is a more discrete start to these drills and they are trying to be quieter about it. heard from kim jong-un through the south korean delegation saying he understood the drills had to go ahead so potentially not see much of a reaction from north korea either. >> we remember a couple of weeks ago the athletes from north korea were in jasouth korea wer there for the ploks and nolympia

continued thaw between the two countries. >> this is a k-pop in pyeongchang concert which is rare, to say the least. it's expected to be going on right now. we don't have, of course, live pictures from north korea on this, but they did have a tae kwon do celebration before it on the south korea site and standing ovation from 2,400 north koreans in the audience so we believe that red velt is a popular group invite now that is performing. the first time they have had this kind of concert if pyeongchang since 2005 so this is just a buildup of the momentum from having the political breakthrough. you have the sporting breakthrough with the olympics and now cultural breakthroughs as well and not a lot of k-pop in pyeongchang. >> not a lot of k-pop here. >> k-pop is on the rise. it really is on the rise,

actually. >> it is. paula hancocks, thank you for that report. let's listen to some of this music from the k-pop. ♪ >> i believe that this is red vel rheve velvet, but k-pop has become more prominent in the united states. we saw that exchange during the olympics of north korea and south korea and seeing this here, it does appear, victor, that things are their way to going moving right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ (vo) you can pass down a subaru forester.

♪ welcome back. i'm diane gallagher in for christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. >> an interview on a conservative radio program, ted nugent called the survivors of the parkland shooters liars and mushy brained children. when asked about how the students are railing against the nra, he said, quote, not only is it ignorant and dangerously stupid, but it's soulless.

outspoken parkland survivor david hogg is standing up against the criticism he had against fox's laura ingram. >> i think my biggest takeaway from this is when somebody -- no matter who somebody is, no hats how big or powerful they seem a bully is a bully and it's important to stand up to them. >> more than a dozen companies pulled their advertising from laura ingram's show after her attacks. she announced she is on a preplanned vacation next week. . of course, it comes amid the controversy. >> joining us to discuss is senior media correspondent brian stelter. and host of "reliable sources." good morning to you. >> good morning. >> reporter: what is in fox news vacation? we remember bill o'reilly took a vacation at the height of his controversy and never came back

and seth took a vacation and came back. what are we to read into the vacation for laura ingram who she has a dozen advertisers dumping the show? >> i noticed another advertiser announcing wraulg from her program yesterday, bayer. this has been a headache for ingram and fox and others are trying to distance themselves from her program even though she apologized and taking a vacation, the list of advertisers continues to grow. i think these boycotts are a bit dangerous and it gets really messy really quickly when you think about these pressure campaigns against advertisers. at the same time, i understand why david hogg decided direct attention to the advertisers because that is one way to cause change. you see this list of advertisers growing. you see fox trying to mitigate the damage by laying low rather than having an apology.

i fully expect ingram to come back in a week after this vacation. it is spring break time of the year so fox said it was a preplanned vacation. we have seen this in the past and as you said, when o'reilly was being scrutinized for the secret settlements in his past, he went on vacation and never came back. so it is a giant controversy for fox and i think, yet again, another reminder. if you're attacking high school students, if you're smearing or mocking them, then you're losing. to me that someone of the bottom lines of this story. >> let's talk about sean hannity specifically. cnn reporting he had dinner with the president yesterday at mar-a-lago there on palm beach island. "the washington post" is reporting that the president could, in large part, go it alone, potentially not moving forward with a communications director and maybe getting rid of and not having a chief of staff. it seems hannity would be somebody who would feed the impulses if you pay attention to

his mon a lowe logs. >> in of the other folks that trump sees at mar-a-lago they encourage the president to take a harder line, for example, against robert mueller's probe and many other matters. whether it's immigration, whether it's spending, or whether it's something like the russia probes and the president's feelings about the russia probes. hannity, of course,, you know, is someone on television every evening. the president sees hannity and watches regularly. but according to cnn's reporting, they were also having dinner. according to one of the local papers, also playing golf yesterday. so that kind of environment where the president is at mar-a-lago he is able to be around his friends and talk to his informal advisers like sean hannity and it matters because these people reinforce some of the president's instincts. what we have seen for the past several weeks is a president who is going to go hoins way and not necessarily take advice from visors around him from some of

his moderate advisers who left the white house but others are coming in like john bolton and the president leaning on these informal advisers like sean hannity. >> the president is heading back to washington this afternoon. we will see if he has any announcements before the start of the week. brian stelter, thanks so much. >> thanks. >> stelter will be back at 11:00 a.m. eastern for "reliable sourc sources" here on cnn. first lady is keeping up public disappearances despite the daily headlines how her husband cheated on her early in their marriage. is it affecting her role in the white house? we will be looking into that. you know their name. you don't know their whole story. a key battle over education brings the civil rights struggle to the forefront of jack's mind. confronted with the violence, the standards and the fundamental injustice.

their appearance, the first lady is keeping up her appear aances and hosting the annual egg roll at the white house tomorrow. kate is joining us. is this affecting melania's role as first lady? >> i think it's making her more difficult for her. people are so focused on the elephant in the room which are these stories and allegations of her husband and infidelity shortly after she gave birth to their son barron. she has been at mar-a-lago the past week. her press secretary is making it dler s clear she is involved in the easter egg roll tomorrow. she picked out colors for the eggs in december and there is also a state dinner coming up with the french president later this month so things are going to be -- appearances are going to be kept up. she is working behind the scenes and not just setting upset at mar-a-lago all the time. of course, you can't avoid this story and it's embarrassing and

it's humiliating but i think she is a strong person and her friends say that she is very strong so she is not letting this get to her maybe as much as we all think it would. >> look. some may say there is strength? silence and she has remained silent about the alleged reports of the alleged affair. her spokesperson addressed the speculation kind of on twitter. i want to show the tweet that her spokesperson put out on twitter. now as far as i know, at least most mainstream media here have not attacked barron in any way. look. she is very protective over her son. do we think we will ever hear from melania? >> i think on this, we might never hear from her. i think is also goes into the narrative of, you know, fake news in the idea that the media is attacking them unfairly. and, you know, she was interviewed shortly after the

"access hollywood" tape came out on cnn where she said people feel bad for me. don't feel bad for me. no one should feel sorry for me. i think her stance and i don't think we will hear from her. when hillary clinton went through this, she also, you know, had to grapple with whether or not to be publicly out front in supporting her husband or not, but she did publicly come you and support her. she even went to capitol hill and lobbied members of the congress not to impeach her husband and i don't think you'll see that kind of support from melania trump. >> is that the main difference? it is both presidents are dealing with, obviously, one affair during the white house, the other allegations of affairs previous. but, again, right after she had her son. there is a humiliation level. is that the only difference there in the reaction that you expect from melania and then first lady hillary clinton? >> well, it's ironic that they have this in common. melania trump and hillary clinton couldn't be more

different. hillary clinton is the first first lady to run for office herself. she was a new york senator and ran for president twice and melania trump is not a political trump and not necessarily interested in this life. i think the fact they are both grappling this issue and handling it in different ways is fascinating and they have to kind of decide whether or not to stand by their husband. i really don't think we are going to see melania publicly do that but we are going to see her keeping up with her schedule as first lady. >> so let's switch gears a little bit here. what is she doing in florida? what has she been doing there? we don't really see her and the president together very often. >> it's hard to get a sense of what she is doing because they are so private. look. they have a 12-year-old son. and they are very protective of him. i think everyone can kind of sympathize with that. the clinton's were protect of chelsea and the obama's were protect of their children. i think she is focused on being a mom as her press secretary

said. she is also focusing on people might think the easter egg roll is a sri thing but a huge effort among the staff. so a state dinner is also something that takes a lot of planning. she is not completely abandon that but we saw her on thursday visit a hospital in florida and she really does well with children. i think that is where she shines. so her kind of modus operandi going forward, i think to be with children and that is really where she seems the most comfortable. >> kate anderson-broward, thank you so much and looking forward to soog the lady at the white house tomorrow. >> the president and the white house have branded president trump as a counterpuncher. you take a shot at him and he'll punch back ten times harder with this stormy daniels story, while everyone else can't stop talking about it the president has stayed remarkably silent on here. here is jeanne moos. >> reporter: the president is taking a licking when it comes

he is leaving the spin to his spokes people. >> why haven't we heard from him. >> >> that is you up the president. >> reporter: for instance, the "people" magazine reporting who said trump pushed her up against the wall and put his tongue down her throat. >> look at her and look at her words. you tell me what you think. i don't think so! >> reporter: but if the president insists on keeping a stormy silence, he has got to hope that "60 minutes" doesn't become 06 days! 60 days. >> more details from stormy daniels. >> jeanne moos, cnn. >> we still stay a little on the stormy side. a little chilly in washington, d.c. >> it is interesting that the president is talking about amazon and jeff bezos and shipping and not talking about this since it was a top story. one of china's highest profile space projects but it could meet its fiery demise soon, plum meting back to earth. how closely should you watch the

all right. if you look up in the sky tonight and you see a shower of fire balls, there's no need to worry. >> stop right there. yes, there is a need to worry if they're fire balls. >> victor it's just an empty chinese space lab crashing back to earth. >> i'm told that this is worse than it sounds in truth actually scientists say any debris will likely burn up as it falls. switch that. it's not as bad as it sounds is what i should have said. the chances of getting hit by anything is 1 in 1 trillion. so what's the story behind all

of this? let's get to our meteorologist: what's going on, allison? >> that's the million dollars question. let's talk about where it is right now. this is the radar image of the space station taken from space. it may not look that big, it's quite large. it's the average size of a school bus. about 12 meters long which is 40 feet and it weighs about 8 and a half metric tons. here's the thing. it was lunched back in china '11. china lost contact with it in 2016. reentry is expected later on tonight until early tomorrow. 8:00 eastern time tonight through the early morning hours. here's the thing. the reason why it was delayed is we like to call space weather. there was calmer space weather. we anticipated that some of those strong solar winds would create a denser atmosphere, thus pushing the space station back down into reentry a little bit faster. those winds didn't have too much of an impact, so thus the

delayed arrival. as you mentioned the majority of this is expected to burn up upon reentry. any pieces that do make it to the surfaces are going to fall 43 degrees north and 43 degrees south so what is going to happen? let's take a closer look at this. it's still hovering above us right now. as we get later into the evening and overnight hours it is going to start to come back. it's going to burnup upon reentry as well as break apart. it does have a pretty wide area, victor and diane of where it could go. you cannot emphasize this enough. we are not expecting a bus to make it down to the surface. this thing will break apart before it makes its final reentry. >> all right. thanks so much. we want to bring in someone who has actually been in space to talk about this. leroy chau a former nasa astronaut. you flew on four space missions and you're a former

international space station commander, so you're aware of this. we're showing the viewers, a nasa illustration of really just how much space junk is out there. it does make a single falling space lab look, well, like the least of our problems. really, leroy, is this a concern that we with should have here? >> well, overall, any kind of orbital debris say big concern. that's the number one threat that we have to spacecraft and that's what we worry about most when we fly into space is getting hit and having our spacecraft damaged. as you guys were saying, it very likely will all burn up in the atmosphere on entry and posing zero danger and even if some piece survives it shouldn't be that big and most likely will hit the ocean. it's a very big deal in space. all spacecraft that carry astronauts are shielded. you do think about it when you

put a space suit on and go outside. there's a lot of little rocks flying around and also pieces of old spacecraft, bolts, nuts things like that that have fallen off boosters. >> can i tell you how much i love that the term for this is spacecraft. when you see elon musk send a tesla up and put a dummy in it as part of the promotion of their space program, do you think, there's more spacecraft that we have to avoid as we go up the next time? >> no, actually. i thought that was great and the images -- those are real photographs, of course, of the roadster being propelled away from the earth. it's going to highly elliptical orbit around the sun. it's nowhere near the earth. it's going to be into that orbit forever for all practical purposes, at least millions of years. i thought it was a wonderful thing to do. normally when you do a flight test, dummy pay load is simply

water and i thought this was a much more interesting pay load than water. >> and lastly, space is very large, endless area there, but all of space junk, does it create a problem at all? is there a limit to how much we should put out there and up there are? >> is there any interest in cleaning it up or just because it's space you just leave it? >> well, in lower earth orbit there's enough atmosphere up there, enough air molecules that it will slow things down and they will eventually come down and so, yeah, we keep putting up more spacecraft and pieces up there but they are coming down. it is a problem and it's a growing problem because ear launching more and more satellites. the push now is to these nano sats that are going to go up big constellations in lower orbit. we're adding a lot more stuff in the coming years and it is a concern. there's no question about it. >> all right. word for the day, spacecraft. it's hyphenated.

thank you so much. >> thank all of you so much for starting your morning with us. those of you celebrating have a happy heefter. >> "inside politics" is up next. nia-malika henderson is in for john king. thanks for being with us this morning. an expectation to surpass. burden. but that's the point. ♪ bring us doubt, and we'll bring you the first car with true hands free driving for the freeway. bring us a challenge, and we'll reinvent what it means to own a car. ♪ bring us all your expectations, and we'll defy them. again, and again, and again.

and butch.aura. and tank. and tiny. and this is laura's mobile dog grooming palace. laura can clean up a retriever that rolled in foxtails, but she's not much on "articles of organization." articles of what? so, she turned to legalzoom. they helped me out. she means we helped with her llc, trademark, and a lot of other legal stuff that's a part of running a business. so laura can get back to the dogs. would you sit still? this is laura's mobile dog grooming palace and this is where life meets legal.

if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have.

i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. turnover in trump land. the president picks a new v.a. chief. >> we're going to have real choice. that's why i made some changes because i wasn't happy with the speed with which our veterans were taking care of. and hope hicks says good-bye. will anyone replace her in plus mueller looks for evidence of collusion. >> any time a russian intelligence agent is in contact
