last night for 23-year-old tyre nichols. he died after a violent altercation with five memphis police officers. >> tyre nichols, a lifelong skateboarder, a vigil was held at a skate park. his mother warned of the graphic nature of the video that will be made public today. have a listen. >> i'd like to say -- to thank each and everyone of you for being here to support my son. our family is grief stricken right now and this is very hard to swallow. i don't speak very well in front of people. i don't even like talking in front of people, but i just want to say this, when that tape comes out tomorrow, it's going to be horrific. >> all five officers who were

involved were fired and on thursday were indicted for second degree murder, aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping among other charges. >> the family's legal team warns the police footage shows a brutal, non-stop beating that lasted three minutes. law enforcement professionals who have seen it say they're appalled. >> authorities say nichols was pulled over on january 7th for reckless driving, was pepper sprayed and then fled on foot. a warning, the image you're about to see is disturbing. >> when officers caught up to nichols, that's when he suffered serious injuries. this is how he looked afterwards in the hospital. he died three days later. >> sources tell cnn law enforcement agencies are bracing for protests and potential violence once that footage is released to the public. cnn's sara sidner has the latest from memphis and a caution that some of the images in her report may be disturbing. >> reporter: in memphis candles

burn for a life snuffed out, the life of 29-year-old tyre nichols where he felt the most free in a skate park. 12 years later he ended up dead. officials say beaten by five men sworn to protect and serve. >> the grand jury returns indictments against all five with the same charges. while each of the five individuals played a different role in the incident in question. the actions of all of them resulted in the death of tyre nichols and they are all responsible zblbl justin myth, demetrius haley, desmond hills and two others were fired from memphis police department and now stand charged with seven crimes, second degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. there is police body cam and sky

camera video showing it all, something police will soon release to the public. >> i'm grieved. frankly, i'm shocked. i'm sickened by what i saw. what happened here does not at all reflect proper policing. this was wrong. this was criminal. >> reporter: attorneys for two of the former officers responded to the tdi damning statement. >> when you heard that, what did you think and have your clients heard all of the charges against them? >> i thought i wish i had seen the video so i could evaluate what he said. >> to say things like that and you have a tinder box, i have questions about whether those were the right words to use, whether this was the right timing and whether the government should be saying those things about people who are innocent until proven guilty. when you know that's going to be

broadcast to potential jurors. >> nichols family wants people to know more about tyre nichols than how he died. >> nobody's perfect, okay? nobody. but he was damn near. my son was a beautiful soul and he touched everyone. >> nichols had his mother's name tattooed on her arm. he wasn't her beautiful boy. he loved having fun. his friends who knew him in sacramento told a low call new hampshire newspaper. he posted people have a story to tell, why not capture it. instead of doing the norm and writing it down and speaking it. it turns out what led to his death was captured. >> bail has been set as high as $350,000. some of them have already bailed out.

sara sidner, cnn, memphis. the shelby county district attorney spoke earlier with cnn's erin burnett about the footage. >> erin asked if something had happened in the initial traffic stop that escalated into this violence. take a listen. >> i wish i could give a definitive answer to that. i don't think i do know. from the video we do have, the officers were already highly charged up from the very beginning of the video in the first incident, the first altercation and then it just escalated further from there. >> so to that point, when you're saying they were highly charged up from the very beginning, i understand these officers were part of a so-called scorpion unit that tackles organized crime. do you have any evidence at this point to suggest that when they pulled him over or perhaps the reason that they pulled him over or when they pulled him over,

they found out, which it could be if either, that they knew who he was? >> we don't have any evidence to that effect right now. >> they appeared this way from the beginning of the video. one other question to you on the time line then. i know you've talked about the injuries being sustained were the second altercation. how much time passed generally, or do you know the specifics, between when the encounter started and the second altercation? >> it was only a few minutes. nichols fled on foot and then there was a 10, 20-minute amount of time chase before they eventually found him and tackled him and then the second incident. and then i should clarify the video we have doesn't start from the very beginning of the altercation, it cuts in as the first encounter is in progress so that's what i mean when i say they were already highly charged. i think whenever one watches the video when it's released,

everyone will see. >> shelby county district attorney speaking with cnn earlier. we'll have more on this story later on in this hour. new trading day gets underway in the u.s. in about five hours from now. here's how the futures stand. the nasdaq the lowest 0% down. meanwhile, the european markets up and running. more positive here initially starting, as was the case across asia as those markets closed. pretty positive day around the world. investors in the u.s. markets wrp happy about positive news on thursday. stocks on wall street rose after the government reported the economy grew at a pace of 2.9% in in the first quarter. the dow gained .6 of a percent. the nasdaq surged finishing

1 3/4 percent higher. s&p 500 as added more than 1%. president biden is taking credit for the positive report. cnn's phil mattingly reports from the white house. white house officials scheduled president biden's travels thursday to virginia knowing he wanted to give a speech on the economy, a speech that would draw sharp economic contrast but also knowing pretty important economic data would be coming out the same day, data they didn't know how it was going to land. it landed and for their sake it landed quite well. actually, quite perfectly timed for an economic speech. fourth quarter gdp coming in at 2.9%. higher than most estimates have things. unemployment claims coming in lower than the expectation was coming in by economists. another point of good news. when you talk about white house officials that have maintained that not only have they had a

rapid recovery from the post pandemic time line, a rather resilient economy up to this point, they've made clear not only will that continue, it is one heck of a political message, one the president rolled out. >> economic growth is up stronger than experts expect at 2.9% growing. jobs. jobs are the highest number in american history and wages are up and they're growing faster than inflation and i don't think it's unfair to say that this is all evidence that the biden economic plan because of y'all is actually working. >> there are obvious concerns when it comes to the economy. technology side of things showing significant layoffs, but overall despite global fragility, very real geopolitical issues, the ee con may has continued to grow and

underscore what president biden laid out. that evidence he points to. that evidence will be rolled out day after day in the weeks ahead by the president himself. he'll be traveling at multiple events, the economy, the days ahead all leading up to the state of the union where the economy, contrast with republicans and the agenda he's passed and will be implementing will be a critical focus. also, probably a critical focus of another big announcement coming, re-election. something he could do as soon as next month. phil mattingly, cnn, the white house. the u.s. justice department will have to decide whether to appoint another special counsel to deal with the mishandling of classified documents. >> his lawyer discovered a dozen documents at pence's home in indiana last week. the review is underway into how they got there. >> pence has repeatedly said that he had no classified documents in his possession. he has not yet announced whether he plans to run for u.s.

president in 2024 and that could be a factor in how his case is handled. meanwhile, elon musk tweeted that he met with republican house speaker kevin mccarthy and hakeem jefferies on thursday to make sure the platform is fair to both parties. >> mccarthy, who just turned 58, wouldn't comment on what was just discussed other than to say musk came by to wish him a happy birthday. it focused on twitter and how it handled a story belonging to the u.s. president's son, hunter biden. they. in the coming hours, california authorities will release recordings related to the attack on paul pelosi, husband of the former house speaker, nancy pelosi. materials include 9 i11 audio. >> paul pelosi was attacked by a

of direct involvement in the war. the ukrainian president says kyiv needs even more fire power. >> this evil, this russian aggression can and should be stopped only with adequate weapons. the federal state will not understand anything else. weapons on the battlefield, weapons that protect our skies. >> salma abdelaziz joins us with more on these developments. we know zelenskyy is always pushing for as much procurement as he can get to bolster ukraine's defenses. we're expecting this offensive in the spring. what are his procurement priorities now that he has the commitment on tanks. >> now that he has the commitment on tanks, i think president zelenskyy senses the door has opened a little bit, that there is greater political will, that nato is more confident in standing up against the kremlin and less afraid of the consequences potentially as they were earlier in this war when you heard threats of spars

of using nuclear weapons coming from russia. everything is on the wish list. actually, everything. from fighter jets to longer range missiles, to ammunition, everything. why is that? he has an army that a lot of times is dependent on soviet era equipment. it's simply not up to the standards of nato and he's facing a much larger fighting force in russia. while he can't have a quantitative advantage, what he can have is a qualitative advantage. these tanks heading to ukraine, we have to remember, it's not a magic bullet. zelenskyy had requested 300 tanks. he's going to get over 100. there's quite a long lag time. you have leopard two tanks coming from a dozen countries. logistical questions, how are you going to get them there? what is the compensation for these countries, how do they replenish their stock. german officials say we could

see the tanks on the battlefield as early as march. zelenskyy says this is the iron fist that will spearhead the ground offensive. this is an infantry war. that's why these tanks are so important. but for president zelenskyy, this is just the beginning. he's already moved onto the next thing on the wish list. >> guess what he wants generally? salma, thank you. israel, meanwhile, unleashing new airstrikes on gaza saying it targeted a rocket-making site belonging to hamas. they fired several strikes at israel. it turned into a deadly day for the palestinians in the west bank, one of the deadliest in more than a year. >> israel border police released this helmet video from the raid. an ids spokesperson told cnn the

military was responding to a spokesperson about the imminent attack. had a das gold has been tracking all of this from jerusalem. >> reporter: at least nine palestinians were killed during an unusual daytime israeli military raid in janine. they were targeting islamist jihad militants there who were preparing for what they called an imminent attack. one person in her 60s were killed. the deadliest single day for palestinians in the west bank in over a year and what's already been an incredibly violent and deadly period for both palestinians and israelis. militants fired rockets in israel. no reported injuries yet. they announced in a dramatic move that they are ceasing security cooperation with israel. >> reporter: in light of the

renewed hostilities and the complete disregard to the signed agreement, including the security agreement, we consider the security coordination with the government of occupying israel as nonexistent starting now. >> it's not the first time the security coordination has been cut in 2020. the palestinian country cut off security plans to annex part of the west bank. coordination resumed when annexation came off the table. it's not clear how long this cutoff will last, but the u.s. state department is warning it's not the right step at this moment. a tense time in this region as u.s. secretary of state antony blinken prepares for a visit here in the coming days. had a das gold, cnn, jerusalem. u.s. military killed a senior leader in an operation in somalia. the biden administration says they helped fund the network of isis militants around the world including in afghanistan.

>> officials say the operation provided valuable information to the intelligence community. dave mckenzie following things from johannesburg. what do you think that information was? >> reporter: max, what they're looking is to find the details of an expanding network in africa and the funding streams. it is interesting and notable that this commando raid was long planned, authorized by the president and executed on thursday in a very northern part of somalia. the max, this kind of intelligence would be extremely helpful to the u.s. which seems to be focusing some of their efforts, of course, and targeting isis in this continent and beyond when it comes to those financial links. the last time i saw the name of the terror leader who was killed was in association with an alleged isis cell here in south

africa that the u.n. treasury announced late last year in terms of funding for the terror group. now it is a name that hasn't been bandied about all that much but you look at the comment from the defense secretary lloyd austin saying he was responsible for fostering the great crisis and funding the group's operations worldwide. he went on to say it will make the u.s. safer by targeting him. there were no casualties in the civilian population according to u.s. officials. one commander was injured by a service dog in that operation, but it speaks to this tactic, i think, of trying to squeeze isis where it hurts, where it is the money, follow the money as they say. in this case it seems they have successfully taken out at least one tiparticularly important in

their mind go between of the isis group and according to u.s. officials extending as far afield as afghanistan. max, bianca. >> david in johannesburg, thank you. manhattan jury has convicted a man on all counts on a new york bite ke path attack. now they must decide whether to impose the death penalty. >> he killed eight. prosecutors say he was inspired by isis. new york city attack since 9/11. haiti's capitol is realing in a string of recent police killings. >> protesters attacked the main airport and the prime minister's residence in port-au-prince on wednesday. reuters reports the prime minister was flying back from

immediate reaction with murdaugh. >> his immediate -- >> he's been getting threats. most of them we didn't take serious. you know, he's been getting punched. i know that -- i know that's what it is. >> the defense leaning into that as a possibility that someone else had a motive to kill. >> mr. murdaugh indicated to you of the threats made to paul. >> he did. >> that he even got in a fight once about it. >> i believe he said punched. >> so on the scene he believed that paul's death was connected to someone angry about the boat case. >> reporter: but that immediate interaction significant to the prose prosecution's theory for murdaugh as well. it killed 19-year-old mallory beach.
