washington. we are tracking major fallout in the fatal police beating of 29-year-old tyre nichols. a sixth memphis police officer was just relieved of duty for alleged involvement in the deadly incident. five previously fired officers charged with murder. those five were members of the scorpion unit that was disbanded over the weekend. this comes as new charges could be in play and as congress faces new calls to act on police reform. cnn's nick valencia joins us now. nick, anybody who watched this video can see that at various points that were more than five officers at the scene wh. what do we know about this sixth officer's role? >> reporter: they told me the sixth officer has been relieved of duty, put on administrative leave. that officer identified as preston hemphill who's been with them since 2018. we have reached the attorney,

the man who said he's representing mr. hemphill. he can confirm that that is his client. he also says that it was the body cam footage of mr. hemphill that we saw in video one. as per departmental regulations, officer hemphill activated his body cam. he was never present at the second scene. he is cooperating with officials in this investigation. a lot that we don't know, though, about this latest officer who has been relieved as a result of this is involvement in tyre nichols arrest, we don't know exactly what he did to catch the attention of the police department that put him on administrative leave. we're working on trying to get those answers. we know very quickly as well that he was part of the crisis intervention team of the memphis police department. that's the photo that you saw him holding up that certificate for. the fallout continuing over tyre nichols' death. >> will investigators be looking into past arrests and past complaints that may involve this

scorpion unit? >> absoluteabsolutely. we heard over the weekend that this unit has been permanently disbanded. scorpion unit, what a moniker to give a police unit. it stands for street crime operations to restore peace in our neighborhoods. they were launched in late 2021 and heralded by city leadership. in january of 2022, the mayor of memphis, jim strickland, praising this unit saying that it led to 566 arrests, 390 of them were felonies. he said just in a matter of a couple of months being active, they had seized about $100,000 in cash. but we were hearing at that even though the police chief on friday told us that she has no other evidence that members of this unit had engamig other evidence that members of this unit had engaaged in similr activity, i was told by benjamin crump that tomorrow he plans on hosting a press conference with a 66-year-old man who claims that he was assaulted by members of the scorpion unit so this is just the beginning and the fallout of the investigation to what's going on there in

memphis. >> nick valencia, thanks very much for that report. we appreciate it. now let's get the view from capitol hill with manu raju. over the past decade how many times have you and i seen this cycle play out and covered it on the hill. police violence, protests that congress do something. what are lawmakers saying about what's going to happen this time? >> reporter: there just is no consensus about what the path forward is. last year an effort collapsed over some of the key differences. one of which is to allow police officers to be sued in civil court. that's something called an issue of qualified immunity. that was a hot button issue, sticking point between the two sides. they could not resolve it and ultimately that collapsed. the d -- dynamic much

different. the senate, 50-50 senate, there was bipartisan talks and it did not get through the chairman after those talks ultimately collapsed. in the aftermath of what we saw in memphis, there were some renewed calls to pass a george floyd policing act. republicans are opposed to the matter. republicans, including kevin mccarthy, noncommittal on this issue. he said this is an issue that will left to the committees. and the republicans in the house not planning to take this up. >> a short answer for a lot of delay and not much action. i want to bring in former boston police commissioner ed davis. mr. davis, thank you for being with us. what reforms are necessary in your view? i mean this does keep happening in city after city. >> hi, kasie.

thank you. so reforms are always necessary and important. it's always an evolving process to put in good ideas and good laws that cover the type of issues that we see, that manifest themselves. even really terrible things like this. but i think what's important is that there have been a number of changes to policy and rules and regulations and law that have been put in around the country since the george floyd homicide. and it's the implementation of those that's really important right now. if you put a unit like this out on the street in this environment and you look at a number where they're pulling in 170 or 180 people into custody every month after the unit gets started, you've got to take a closer look at what they're doing. what those charges are, what the probable cause is, what the

reason for the stops is. all of these things, that's about the supervision of these things. these units can get out of control really quickly. if you're not paying close attention on the supervisory part then you've got a problem. the other side of it is the culture. if you're calling it the scorpion unit, what message are you sending to the officers who are in it and to the community? are we going to hurt -- does scorpion sting? what's the idea behind that? making sure that the officers understand that constitutionally protected policing is what is necessary in cities right now is really important. >> so new york's anti-crime unit was disbanded after the chokehold death of eric garner, and obviously this unit that we've been talking about, the scorpion unit, was just disbanded. when you were in charge in boston, you saw crime go down overall. how did you use special units?

can they work if they're done right? >> if you listen to the community, one of my first meetings i went to, i went to mission hill and listened to two or 300 young black men who told us our units were jumping out of the cars and tipping guys up side down to see if guns would fall out. i went back and met with the gang unit and said this was not the mission that i wanted accomplished. i wanted to do very different things to connect with the community and respond to what community needs were. you can't make everybody who's between the age of 15 and 25 a suspect. you need to be very cautious about how you go at this. and that change made a difference there. and i think -- i think that listening to the community, understanding what's happening, looking at those measurements of what they're doing and how they're doing it and really good, solid supervision is

critical to these units. >> so on the investigative front, when you go back -- how important is it to go back and look at prior arrests? that sounds like one of the things that's going to happen here, because now we are hearing about prior complaints that were potentially involving the charged officers and definitely involving the scorpion unit to figure out if this was a one-time thing or a systemic problem. >> right. and you find these things after a terrible tragedy like this. these things will happen. there will be a postmortem. there will be a drilling down into what happened. the tragic thing is that those reviews need to happen before the tragedy occurs. you need to be constantly monitoring what these special squads are doing out there to make sure that this type of abhorrent behavior doesn't occur. they'll find things, they always do, and people will say, oh, my goodness, this was terrible.

but the terrible part of it was that people weren't paying attention to it in realtime. we have systems that allow us to do that. and your strongest sergeants need to get put in those units, people that won't take that kind of behavior and be captured by the culture. those are the men waand women tt can make a difference to these units. >> former boston police commissioner ed davis, thanks for your time. i really appreciate it. let's turn to deepening tensions in the middle east. secretary of state antony blinken is on a high-stakes visit to israeli after stopping in egypt. he met with the israeli prime minister a short time ago. tensions between israelis and palestinians are getting close to a boiling point after a wave of violence last week including an attack on a synagogue that killed at least seven people.

hadas is there for us. there does seem to be a heightened sense of urgency right now. >> reporter: blinken's trip to israel was already expected to be a little prickly partly because it's his first visit to this new government. netanyahu is a familiar face of course but his new government is largely considered to be the most far right, nationalist religious in israeli history. but then as you noted, the events of this past few days added a new sense of urgency. when antony blinken landed in tel aviv, he said this is a pivotal moment. it's like a high stakes crisis moment. there is a big hope that his visit will help dial the temperature down on the ground after the events of last week. thursday was the deadliest day for palestinians in the occupied west bank in over a year. on friday night was that shooting just outside a synagogue. the next morning there was

another shooting where two r israelis were injured. and we are hearing about violence with cars and buildings. so the big message of this trip besides iran and other internal things for israel is of course the situation on the ground. >> we're urging all sides now to take urgent steps to restore calm, to de-escalate. we want to make sure that there's an environment where we can at some point create the conditions where we can start to restore a sense of security for israelis and palestinians alike, which is sorely lacking. >> reporter: now, what's interesting is when benjamin netanyahu spoke, the israeli prime minister, he didn't specifically speak about the violence wave of the last few days, instead trying to focus on the fact that he wants to expand the abraham accords, normalize israel's relations with more countries. his number one priority is saudi arabia. he said through that, through the abraham accords, he thinks that's the way to ultimately

reaching some sort of solution with palestinians. i think a lot of people would disagree with him but that's how he focused that. tomorrow antony blinken will meet with palestinian leaders. he said in a photo spray that he will bring that same message to the palestinians, that they need to take steps to de-escalate the situation. last week the palestinian authority severed it's cord nation with israel. that's seen as a vital tool to help keep some sense of communication between the security forces. he will be likely urging them to restore that. we heard from the americans last week. they said they didn't think that was a good idea. very much a high-stakes trip. but i do have to say the optimism that he will make a huge change is not quite there. kasie. >> all right, thanks very much for that report. police say he's on the run, extremely dangerous and could be using dating apps to hunt down new victims. what we're learning about the growing manhunt for this alleged kidnapper who's accused of tying

and what more are we learning about him at this point? >> reporter: yeah, it's exactly as you said, they believe he might be using these apps to lure more victims or potentially to even force someone to help hem him get away. they identified him pretty quickly on tuesday as benjamin foster. they did release several photos of him warning folks he might try to change his appearance by shaving his beard or his hair or changing his hair color. they are asking folks to pay attention to his facial structure and eyes since those features are very difficult to change. the district attorney said that he tried to kill this victim in grants pass, oregon, very close to the california border, while intentionally torturing her and secretly confining her in a place where she was not likely to be found. police say she was bound, severely beaten but he fled the scene before officers arrived. this was tuesday. they think he may have had some help evading capture on thursday night. authorities raided a property nearby, about 20 miles north of

grants pass, where they found a bunch of evidence, including his car. they arrested a 68-year-old woman for hindering prosecution. they believe she was helping him hide out. but again he managed to escape leaving the small community on edge. take a listen to the police chief in grants pass. >> i'm always concerned about our community. this individual's behavior clearly shows that he is capable of doing anything to anyone within our community. >> so he is -- the police are offering a $2,500 reward for information leading up to his arrest and he is being charged with attempted murder, kidnapping and assault. so police also say that this isn't the first time that this suspect has been accused of violence against women. what do we know about previous charges? >> yeah, that's right. he moved to oregon from las vegas, nevada, where he faced two very similar charges. in the first case he was charged

with felony battery constituting domestic violence. his ex-girlfriend said that he attempted to strangle her in a rage after another man texted her. while that case was still pending in court, foster was charged with felony assault, battery and kidnapping for attacking another woman who was his then girlfriend in 2019. that victim told police he strangled her to the point of unconsciousness several times. he kept her tied up with two weeks. burned her with lye. as part of a 2021 plea deal with clark county, foster actually served less than 200 days in prison. the oregon police chief, kasie, in charge of today's investigation manhunt says he finds it extremely troubling that foster is not still in prison in nevada for that crime, or those crimes. >> troubling indeed. lucy kafanov, thanks very much for that reporting. trial is back in session for

alex murdaugh, the disgraced south carolina attorney accused of killing his wife and son. an investigator testified about how law enforcement handled the crime scene. randi kaye is covering the trial for us. randi, bring us up to speed on what we saw today. >> reporter: the defense has been trying to convince the jury there was really shoddy police work going on on the part of investigators. they basically laid out their case saying investigators trampled the crime scene, walked through the blood, added footprints that have not been identified and that theme continued today as the defense took on the crime scene investigator on the standing. just listen to this one example of him going at her. >> there was a bloody footprint near his that turned out to be law enforcement, correct? >> yes. >> in blood. is that preservation of the

scene that your standards require? >> not exactly, no. >> not exactly. should the police be walking through the scene? >> no. >> do we know what other evidence they may have destroyed? >> i have no idea. >> that's right, we don't. >> reporter: and both sides still continue to disagree on whether or not alex murdaugh had blood on him the night of the murders. state investigators who have testified have all said they didn't see any hands on his hands, on his clothing. the defense disagrees with that. but that is a real issue because alex murdaugh told investigators that night that he actually checked his wife and son for their pulses. he also said that he tried at least twice to turn his son over. this was a very bloody, gruesome crime scene, so it would make sense that he would have had blood on him. investigators did not search his entire home that night. in fact they waited more than three months to search murdaugh's home even though they had a search warrant. there was another interesting moment where there was a special

agent named jeff croft. he took the stand and testified that he had spoken with someone and interviewed someone, a witness who said that he had been calling maggie and paul murdaugh that evening and texting them. this was a guy who had his dog -- he was texting about a dog that was at the murdaugh's kennels. the special agent testified there was a text or call to paul at 9:28, 9:32, 9:57 and texted maggie saying tell paul to call me. the prosecutors said the deaths occurred between 8:30 p.m. and 10:06 p.m. that night, so that would be right in that timeline. >> randi kaye, thanks very much for that reporting. coming up, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. if the needle were radioactive

the pakistani taliban is claiming responsibility for a suicide bombing at a mosque. at least 61 people were killed and more than 150 were injured. this happened at a mosque inside

a police compound and attended mostly by law enforcement officials. cnn is in islamabad. what is the pakistani taliban saying at this point about this attack, sophia? >> reporter: kasie, they put out a statement a couple of hours ago. it's actually a faction of the pakistani taliban that have said the reason behind this attack is because one of their founders was scared by the pakistan state last year. we have not received any confirmation by pakistani authorities confirming that it was the pakistani taliban behind this suicide attack. it took place during afternoon prayers, more than ten hours ago from here local time. we do know when the blast took place, the entire ceiling of the mosque fell in. a lot of people are still stuck in the rubble of that blast, of that explosion that took place.

rescue efforts are still under way in the northwestern city. now, the pakistani taliban have increased their attacks in the north of this country, across pakistan really, ever since a cease-fire between that militant group and the pakistani state and military fell apart in november of last year. there was an attempted attack at state buildings, at government buildings in the capital of islamabad toward the end of december. the country has been on high alert so all of the major cities of pakistan have seen army check posts, paramilitary troops patrolling the streets of the cities. there is a heightened sense of security and a lot of families are burying their dead tonight. there was a similar attack in march last year, so less than a year ago at a shia mosque in the city where there was a similar death toll of more than 60 people who died.

so there is this fear that militantcy is back and rearing its ugly head. that has changed sense the fall of kabul in the summer of 2021. pakistani authorities accuse the taliban of harboring the pakistani taliban and we're still waiting to see how this investigation will unfold and whether this vicious cycle will continue here in pakistan. kasie. >> sophia, thank you very much for that report. meanwhile, officials in australia are conducting a massive search for a very dangerous and very tiny radioactive capsule that they believe fell off of a truck. here it is. take a look. it is a small cylinder used in gauges for mining operations. it is smaller than a penny. yeah, that's hard to wrap your head around. but it contains a dangerous radioactive substance that can cause a lot of health issues.

they include cancer, radiation sickness or burns, immune system problems and potentially even death. officials say the package was damaged during transit and the capsule likely fell off a truck. so now they're searching a desert highway about the length of the california coast to try to find it. if you were in australia and you do happen to come across it, officials say do not touch it, keep your distance, and call for help. okay. meanwhile, more arctic air is blasting across this country. at least 40 million people from texas to west virginia are under winter weather alerts. freezing rain and bitter cold are part of this package. forecasters say at least 15 states could see significant amounts of ice. the northern plains and upper midwest, they could experience windchills as low as 45 degrees below zero. meteorologist derrick van dam joins us now. derrick, this is chilly. how can is this going to go on? >> yeah, kasie.

this arctic air is laying the groundwork for this ice storm that will unfold across texas, oklahoma, arkansas and western sections of tennessee. denver is only going to top 5 degrees. your normal high temperature is 44. very similar results across minneapolis into chicago as well. so the cold air is there. it's setting the stage. this is what it feels like on your exposed skin as you step outside. the national weather service have issued windchill alerts in advance of this. what's important is where the cold air is headed. it continues to traverse southward. so we've got this classic setup. at the time we've got warm, very moisture laden air from the gulf of mexico. this is being overlaid by very cold air that i showed you a few moments ago. what happens there? cold air is very dense and zipsinks to the surface of the ground. the warm moisture starts to

override it and we get that freezing rain at the surface where the cold air has sunk into. in fact you can see that on the radar and some of our latest computer models for dallas, to little rock all the way to ofte rain of this long ice storm event. >> thanks very much. i'm sure we'll talk a lot to you in the coming days. we knew it was bad. now we know just how bad. a new study tells us the toll the pandemic did to our kid. what parents can do about it, coming up next. mm. ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" daday... a "perfectlyly delicious" day.. - mm.

for the first time in nearly

a month, students and teachers are back inside the elementary school where a first grader shot his teacher. security guards and metal detectors also present at the school. cnn's brian todd is outside the school for us. brian, you were there as parents dropped off their 5, 6 and 7-year-olds who had to go through these metal detectors and into this new reality. how are parents responding to all of this? >> reporter: kasie, there's a lot of anxiety on the part of parents and other relatives as they brought their children back to the school for the first time in near low a month since the shooting of that teacher. we caught up with one woman, didi williams, as she was bringing her third grade grandson to school and talked about some of those anxieties. here's what she had to say. >> it's sad to see that we had to go in there but it made my heart feel better they were taking it serious. it's the world we live in. we have to teach our children. it starts from home.

>> reporter: and what she's talking about are some really enhanced security protocols at this school right now. i'll go through a few of them for you. as of now, police were on campus to assist with the transition. we saw several officers, including the newport news police chief here to welcome the students back to class. students are also provided with clear backpacks to carry around. they cannot bring in their old backpacks to school. two state-of-the-art metal detectors have been installed on campus. visitors are limited here during the first week of instruction. any parent who wants to escort their student to class can be searched. when you go through some of these measures, it's stark to realize this is an elementary school and how little these kids are that have to look at all these security measures and experience this as they go back to class. >> really, really, really difficulty for kids that young.

so this incident led to the ousting of several school officials and there's a lawsuit. what is the latest there? >> reporter: i did speak to someone from the law firm representing the teacher who was shot. the lawsuit has not formally been filed yet. they have filed a notice of the intent to file a lawsuit. this lawsuit will be filed, they say, but it has not formally been filed yet. they are going to give the district some time to respond to that notice. but it's coming. it may not bow ie in the next f days but that lawsuit is coming and we'll get more detail on what they're asking for and probably more detail on some of these allegations. >> brian todd, thanks very much for your reporting, we really appreciate it. and a new study out today shows just how big of an impact the pandemic has had on our kids' education. this study looked at 42 countries and found that students across the board lost out on about 35% of a normal year's worth of learning. in the u.s., higher poverty

students suffered even more during remote school. here to talk about this and more is dr. victoria dudley, a child psychiatrist and author of "reset your child's brain." victoria, thanks very much for being here. this is obviously something that parents know instinctively about what has happened to their kids but now we have some numbers to go with it. how do parents and schools best help kids get this time back? >> i think there's a lot of pressure to kind of catch kids up. i don't think that's necessarily the best approach. i think there's still a lot of anxiety and depression and kids who are cooped up for a long time. so some of those physical and mental health needs need to be addressed ed first. there's no evidence that we should rush things. if they have lost a year, they have lost a year. there's really no justification

in trying to catch them up if they're not in that kind of a space to absorb the material. >> yeah, no, that makes a lot of sense. and this mental health crisis you mentioned it among ccording suicide is the second leading cause of death for children ages 10 to 14. mental health related pediatric visits are spiking. there's a new survey that finds mental health is at the top of the list of concerns that parents have, about 40% of parents saying they're extremely or very worried their student will struggle with anxiety or depression. what should parents be doing to support their kids? you mentioned giving them a break at school. what else is there that they can do? >> great question. this whole mental health crisis actually started before the pandemic. we were seeing -- especially with the middle schoolers, we were seeing increases in depression and anxiety,

increases in the suicide rate. an all of it -- a lot of it is related to screen time. all kinds of screen time, the effect brain chemistry, affects sleep and all of these things affect mental well-being. so the pandemic really just kind of made that whole situation kind of explode and kind of the silver like is that it underscored the need or the idea that really screen time worsens pretty much any mental health diagnosis. it can actually create a diagnosis or it can exacerbate one there's already there. and that includes texts. so it includes screens in the classroom and remote learning. so i think -- you know, i think ed tech gets a hall pass if it's something to do with education or school, we don't think it has physiological effect, but it

actually does. so it starts at home but it also starts isn't tn the classroom. we know that light at night in particular from devices is linked to depression and suicide. not just attempt, but completion. and we know kids having their phones under their pillow is -- that whole thing is -- it's extremely a common situation, but they're also being forced to have computer exposure at night for homework. so all of those -- it's impossible to address the mental health issues if we have all those screens still in there. we try to work around it and it's not working. >> it's a really interesting point, especially to underscore many of the systems that our kids rely on to get educated also rely on these screens. but then there's the situations where teens want to be on their phones, social media platforms like tiktok, instagram and

twitter. you can join as long as you're 13 years old these platforms. the u.s. surgeon general had this warning on cnn over the weekend. take a look. >> i personally based on the data i've seen believe that 13 is too early. i think that it's a time, early adolescence, where kids are developing their identity, their sense of self. it's really important for us to be thoughtful into what's going in about how they think about their own self-worth and relationships and the skewed and often distorted of social media often does a disservice to many of those children. >> so it's an interesting point. i've got a very young child at home so i'm not there yet. but as a former teenage girl that went to middle and high school, i can't imagine having to deal with these platforms in that kind of a context. but obviously all the kids are doing it. parents have to fight with them to keep them off. how do they best find success? if 13 isn't the right age, what is. >> yeah. if you haven't started yet, do not start.

i'm seeing now like factions of parents who kind of stick together and say we're not going to do social media. and then i've seen these kids -- followed these kids up until they're going to college and they're in much better shape. they have higher self-esteem, they have a better sense of themselves. they're not looking for external validation all the time. if you haven't started, don't start. if you have started, you can still pull back. i just think try to do it with another family to eliminate social media. i always say do a four-week screen fast. no smartphones, no nothing. that will reset the nervous system and also resets people's habits and what they're used to doing. i can tell you i do this with teenage girls all the time. almost all of them say they feel relieved because there's so much pressure and it's so time consuming. so i think a lot of times we're so afraid that we're going to cut them off, but aside from the very beginning when they might have some anxiety about it, if you spend time with the teen,

especially during the first few days and first week, you're replacing those attachment pathways. >> so important. all right, thanks very much for your insights today. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> and we will be right back. so no matter what the market's doing, he's readydy. and that's... how you collect coins. your money neverer stops workig for you with merrill, a bank of america company. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...the burning, the itching. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, most people saw 90% clearer skin at 16 weeks. the majority of people saw 90% clearer skin even at 5 years.

super bowls since the late 1960s. so the fact it took this long is amazing although not surprising if you know the history of the nfl. and all i can say, i said in the morning, it's about darn time, kasie. >> it really is. it's a really good point. there's also some brotherly love? and i'm not just making a pun about my beloved philadelphia. what's going on with this? >> yeah. it's the first time that two brothers are facing off against each other in the super bowl. so obviously, we have travis kelce, the great tight end with the kansas city chiefs. we also have jason kelce, who's an all-pro center with the philadelphia eagles. so as i said, the number two really big. brotherly love. i just wish -- i wish that mother good luck when she's trying to figure out who to root for in this game. >> i know. as a mom myself i actually can't imagine being in this position and basically torn in two. so this last piece that you pointed out, this is actually not to do with the number two,

but we've got another first going on with patrick mahomes. what's up with that? >> yeah. patrick mahomes is going to be the youngest quarterback ever to start three super bowls. he just beats out brady by 40 days. and then the other just quick thing i'll note if you're looking as a philadelphia eagles fan, they have been running up the score so far in these playoffs. they've won by an average of 27.5 points. that's the third highest ever. eagles fans, hey, maybe this will be your year yet again. >> you love to see it, both the fact that a brady record got beat and also that the eagles are in good position. harry enten, thank you very much for being here with us. and that's going to do it for me today. the news continues after this quick break.
