7:00 am
7:01 am
top of the hour this friday. i'm jim sciutto. >> i'm erica hill, and right now all five former police officers charged with murder and other charges in the death of tyre
7:02 am
nichols are inside of a memphis courthouse. they are set to be arraigned on seven charges including second-degree murder and aggravated assault. >> this morning the shelby county district attorney said that the prosecutors are still looking into charging a sixth former officer who tased nichols in the traffic stop that night as well as others possibly. >> we are looking at everybody who was involved directly or indirectly in death of tyre nichols, and this is officer hemphill and those who showed up after the beating had concluded, and we will do what we can as quickly as we can, but thoroughly. >> now, we are still waiting for the release of 20 hours of additional footage from deadly beating and the aftermath, and it could be relevant, and cnn's shimon prokupiez is there at the courthouse, and i understand that you just spoke to tieyre
7:03 am
nic nichols' mother there. >> yes, i wanted people to know where we are, because we are in the hallway and awaiting the five former officers to appear here expected to walk through the doors here at any moment now. this is where they will hear for the first time where they will have their initial appearance and where we expect them to enter the pleas, and it is the first time that the family, tyre nichols' family gets to be face-to-face with these five officers and members of the community, and you can see many people gathered here outside of the courtroom as we await the five former officers to appear, and as you said, i did get a chance to quickly speak with tyre nichols' family as they were coming into the courtroom, and asked them why it is essentially important to be here today and take a listen. >> just one question if i can. and just about seeing the officers today coming face-to-face with them. what do you think ta is going on
7:04 am
to be like for you? >> i don't know, sir. i don't know how i am going to react or respond. right now, i'm just as numb as numb can be right now. so, i don't know how i am going to rekt a. >> it is important for you to be here, and why is that? >> reporter: guys, here they come. here come the five. here are the officers now entering the courtroom with their attorneys. you can see them here wearing the face masks and some of them with the attorneys, the five former officers just now walking into the courtroom, and there is one of the other attorneys and one of the former officers, an all now walking into the courtroom with their attorneys. we expect this to be getting under way here at any moment, and as i said, this is going to be their first appearance, and their initial appearance here to hear the charges against them. really, for this community to be
7:05 am
face-to-face with them and the family, which i think that for the family, it is something that is very, very important. we saw the d.a. go in as well, and i wanted to make a point about the d.a., the scorpion unit, and we have heard a lot about the unit which is d disbanded, and the district attorney said they will be hearing at least 100 cases where these officers were involved and about 75 of the cases are associated with the five former officers, but as we have been talking about, there is a sixth officer who preston hemphill, and he has about 25 cases that the d.a. says they will be reviewing, and now a total of 100 cases at least that the district attorney now has to go back to look at to see if there were any issues with those cases and potentially dismiss those cases, and it is a heavy burden for the d.a. and a fallout here
7:06 am
of this, but it is important for the nichols' family to be here face-to-face with the officers as they are beginning the process of facing charges against them. >> shimon prokupiez, thank you. we appreciate it. joining us is shan wu, former police commissioner from boston, and joining us. we will take it live as it begins. >> sure. >> i am not sure if it is starting here or not, but as we are waiting for that, just walk us through what is going to happen here in the next few moments. >> well, as shimon reported, this is the first sort of public appearance that they will -- >> sorry to interrupt you, but i believe they are starting. so we will listen in. >> and the attorneys here, are you prepared to present your client? >> yes, your honor, we are going to enter a plea of not guilty. >> is this for purposes of the record, your client's name.
7:07 am
>> emmitt martin. >> good morning, your honor, demetrious haley is my client, and he is present in the courtroom and waive the formal reading of the indictment and entear plea of not guilty. >> good morning, john perry on behalf of tadarrius bean, and we enter a plea of not guilty. >> and i see you back there. >> yes, your honor, on behalf of my client desmond mills, we enter a plea of not guilty. >> yes, your honor, on behalf of des emmitt martin, we enter a pleaf not guilty. >> so despite your best effort, this case may take some time, and your attorneys will be receiving the discovery and no
7:08 am
matter how voluminous it is, the state will take some time to turn it over to the attorneys to review that discovery to prepare their motions and prepare your case. so be patient with your attorneys and meet with them and cooperate and go over the discovery and if there are any delays, it is not on account of your any of your actions. to those also in attendance, as vi i have explained to the defendants, this case can take some time, and we are asking for your continued patience and civility in the case, and we understand that there may be some high emotions in this case, but we ask that you continue to be patient with us. everyone involved wants this case to be concluded as quickly as possible, but it is important for you all to understand that the state of tennessee as well as each one of these defendants have an absolute right to a fair trial. i will not allow any behavior that could jeopardize that right.
7:09 am
so with that being said, we thank you all for being present. the state understanding that there may be some discovery that needs to be collected, and we will continue this case out a little bit further to make sure that the discovery is concluded. we will reset this matter until may 1st at 9:00 a.m. state, anything else? >> your honor, the only other thing on behalf of the state is that i have a protective order as to each of the defendants to allow certain digital discovery and certain video evidence to be provided. >> any objection? >> no objection, your honor. >> no object, your honor. >> no objection, your honor. >> thank you, yourp. thank you, your honor. >> anything else on behalf of your client? >> no, your honor. we did file a motion for discovery this morning. >> anything else on behalf of your client? >> no, your honor. but we did file a petition on
7:10 am
behalf pursuant to c. >> okay. >> nothing further, your honor. >> okay. gentlemen, we will see you back here may 1st on that day. and now we will excuse the defendants and their defense koun counsel, and we are asking everyone else to remain seated. >> i would let the court know that the family is here this morning, also. >> thank you. >> your honor, thank you. and so there you have it. all five former officers entering pleas of not guilty. and former prosecutor shan wu, and also ed davis with us, and as we heard, may 1st, everybody is going to be back, and the judge warning that it going to be taking some time and understandable in this case, but as we are moving forward here,
7:11 am
what is remarkable, and shimon brought this up again, and the d.a. is talking to cnn and we learned a couple of weeks ago that the prosecutors are reviewing a number of cases that we involve a group of cases that criminal cases are being brought by the d.a. and these are closed and standard in situations like this, and is that standard in this case, shan? >> well, there is nothing standard about this revealing violence, and having a task force to review these types of cases, you certainly would want to look at the individual history of these officers and what other types of discipline issues or allegations of violence and it is sounding like reporting that there have been here, so it is very smart to look at that. it is important to uncover that truth. from the prosecutorial strategy standpoint, the more allegations that they find that could be charged, the more leverage they have on getting these officers
7:12 am
one or more to plead guilty, even if they don't go to the point of indicting, the mere fact that they are looking at this, and they will be talking to the defense lawyers about it. >> and a lot of time, too, the judge says with the next meeting may 1st. ed davis, the sad fact as we are watching legal ramifications of this case, we had a story on last hour about another case, and this is in louisiana, negligent homicide now charged in the case of alonso bagley, and i don't want to give this the impression of it happens in every police encounter, because hundreds of them end peacefully, and are departments changing training or changing the approach to make these kinds of deadly encounters less likely? >> well, it is a great question, jim. after talking to my colleagues across the country, i know that this is the single is most important thing that they are
7:13 am
struggling with, and the bigger part of it is the culture of the organization, and everybody is reflecting on what they are doing, and how they are doing it. but the advent of cameras has brought a lot more accountability. we have to be happy with the fact that these officers were charged d so quickly and accountable, and this is sending out a message to every officer on the street. >> and in terms of the culture -- and i'm glad that you brought it up -- because we have reporting that a lot is made of the scorpion union that these officers were members, and talking about the culture, and that culture is not something that changes overnight. so, shan, how much is that culture, and how much do you anticipate that culture is going to be coming into play, and going to be part of what we will hear from both sides? >> very interesting question.
7:14 am
from a defense standpoint, you would want as little of that culture to come in as possible, because the argument is that it is highly prejudicial to portray these officers as being part of a group, almost a gang member mentality where they are jumping out and beating up people. now, on the other hand, from the prosecution's standpoint, that type of picture is important to point, because it is helping to show the jury what is going on here, and the prosecution is going to be arguing that this is not simply trying to damage the officer's reputation, but rather to show that these are the facts going on here. that is central to proving the intent, what they were doing wrong, and this is critical for the jury to understand, and it is not an isolated incident, and this is what the prosecution's point is going to be, and that is a clash here. >> david, you are saying that you are speaking to departments around the country, and it is more likely to have officers to face murder charges, and we saw
7:15 am
it with george floyd and tyre nichols, and with alonso bagley here, and is that danger or that threat of the consequence a motivator for police departments to change not just regulations, but the training and culture that you talk about? >> well, it certainly is. the damocles is hanging over the head of any officer who acts like that and they have to know that over any point of time, and the friends in the business, we just shake our heads that it is still happening. and it is inconceivable that someone does not understand first of all the humanity of this which is, should be the driving force, but the danger to yourself, if you are go this far. there are studies that need to be done on what happens to be done physiologically to the officer after a pursuit or a gun battle. there is not enough information on that, and none of that is an
7:16 am
excuse, but it is maybe a way to deal with the issues that drive this kind of behavior. >> yeah. >> shimon prokupiez is there at the courthouse with us, and schwartz really checking this box for the arraignment moving forward now, and i wonder if the family of tyre nichols there in the courtroom if they made any statements on the way out? >> no, they didn't. we expect to hear from them in a short period here, they are expected to speak. you know, i cannot imagine walking into a courtroom having to face these officers. you know, the mother has just been holding so much emotion, you know, releasing it in many ways, but you can tell just that i had the brief interaction with her, but the grief and the weight that this must be having on her is very evident in her
7:17 am
face and in her body and the way she moves and speaks and certainly that is why i felt it was important to know why must it be like to walk into a courtroom having to look at five men who are now accused of murdering her son. so, no emotion from her in the courtroom, and she sat there, and she said is important to be there, because she wanted them to see her face. you saw the officers walk in. they said absolutely nothing, and some of them wearing face masks, and then when they walked out, we tried to ask them questions, and obviously, they did not anything. but yeah, everything that is expected and now this is a long drawn out process as the attorneys fight over discovery and documents and the big question that everyone needs to keep in mind whether or not these attorneys will ask to have the cases severed so that some of the officers are charged
7:18 am
separately because of how much involvement some officers have as opposed to others and how that is playing out over the coming months. >> we have been showing you the courtroom in memphis where the officers are charged in the death of tyre nichols and their arraignment, and we will continue to follow with shimon prokupiez and shan wu and david willis. and now, we will talk about this morning after senator david fetterman has checked himself in for depression and how common this is. and now, we will also talk about a peace deal as president putin is meeting with his s belarusian counter part. what's the #1 retinol brand

7:23 am
president biden's doctors say that the routine physical shows that the president is healthy and vigorous, and good enough to perform his presidential duties. >> he underwent a physical at the walter reed medical center where presidents go, and they did find a lesion on his chest that was removed. we have elizabeth cohen who is joining us now, and did we learn anything else from the president's doctors here? >> yes, jim. we did learn a few more things, and this is what we were told by the white house. the president's physician says that the president experiences a stiff gait in the past that is due to arthritis that he has and also that he clears the throat often because of reflux which is not unusual, and also that he is treated for afib which is an
7:24 am
irregular heart beat, and the physician noted that they did a detailed sort of screening, neurological screening, and that they did not find anything consistent with anything like a stroke or ms or parkinson's, and they did a similar screening in 2021 when he had the last physical. jim, erica. >> elizabeth cohen, thank you so much. more medical news here in washington. senator john fetterman in pennsylvania is being praised by both side of the aisle for his mental health. he checked himself into a washington hospital to be treated for clinical depression. he was elected in november after suffering a stroke last year. >> his wife gisele said that she is so proud of him for seeking help. and now, joining us is the director of socioethical mental
7:25 am
health, and there is not enough to talk about when it comes to mental health, because mental health is health. and last night, a cardiologist said that about 1 in 3 people who experience a stroke could in fact then have depression. is it always that link? that feels like a high number to me. >> well, while i can't comment in particular on senator fetterman, we wish him well in his treatment and send our regards to his family. it is more common for people to suffer from depression after a stroke, and many medical and neurologic conditions can increase the likelihood that someone will experience symptoms of depression. >> so he is getting treatment now which is of course recommended, and so many americans are dealing with depression, and i believe that you said that 8.4% is the
7:26 am
estimate from 2020 and close to 1 in 10. so any reason to believe that with treatment he cannot carry out his duties as a u.s. senator? >> well, the most important thing to know about depression is that it is very common and it is very treatable. the overwhelming majority of people who receive treatment for depression don't have to go into hospital, and they can be treated in a relatively brief period of time with medications, therapy and other interventions, and this is the most important thing to know. >> yeah. >> and for people watching, we hear about depression, and senator fetterman talking about clinical depression, and when are those signs, and when do you know that it is a string of bad days when you feeling really down? >> well, depression is more than just feeling down even for a day or two or having a low mood. as you mentioned, it is a physical disorder that affects our brain and our body. so depression has to last for at
7:27 am
least two weeks. and it affects not just our mood, but also our sleep, and our interest in doing things that we used to enjoy, our level of energy, our thoughts, our thinking, our concentration, and sometimes kit can slow down our body and movements and thoughts, and finally in the most severe thoughts it can make us think that we don't want to be alive anymore. >> and public figures talking about mental health which is health. and we have numbers to call if you are experiencing symptoms, and another case that is in the news, and this is the actor of bruce willis where his family has announced that he is suffering from frontal temporal dementia, and how common is that, because it struck many of us that he is quite young to be experiencing symptoms like this. >> well, there are many different kinds of dementia, and
7:28 am
in general, frontal temporal dementia does affect people who are younger, and as early as the age of 40 but up to the age of 65, and it does account for 10 to 20% of all dementia cases. >> what does it translate to? what is specifically to someone experiencing the frontotemporal dem dementia? >> well, the frontal lobes of the brain are affected and they are responsible for the personality and behavior and so many times those signs are changes in people's behavior maybe becoming disinhibited or socially inappropriate, and changes in the movement like tremors, and we can also see changes in their language, the way they speak or are able to put words together. >> dr. rebecca brendle, thank

happening right now. vice president kamala harris meeting with the vice chancellor of germany as we are approaching the one-year invasion of russia in ukraine. >> and the military are burning through ammunition, and often firing some 11,000 artillery shells in just 11 days which is the same amount that one plant in pennsylvania can churn out in one month. our correspondent oren liebermann joining us with more. you went to the plant toammunitt question is if this is the only plant that is making this ammunition? >> well, there is another one in texas, and there is a 24/5
7:35 am
operation, and the goal is to go to 24/7 to crank out the shells they can make each month. take a look inside here. >> reporter: in the steel furnaces of scranton, pennsylvania, the weapons of war are in high demand. one ton metal rods are heated and forged into about 11,000 high explosive artillery shells a month. cnn got a rare look inside of the scranton, pennsylvania, ammunition plant, and one of the few in the country that make these rounds. here heated to 1,000 degrees and slowly shaped step by scorching step into the final product. to this point, it has only taken a few hours to heat the steel and then turn it into what looks like an artillery shell to press it into the familiar shape, but it is days of testing and infections to make sure that it can be turned into a 155
7:36 am
artillery shell to be fired on the battlefield. the process does not end here. the empty shells are shipped to another plant for explosives and fuses. 5,000 miles from the front lines and mother russia, and the enemy here is time. ukraine can burn through the plant's monthly production in half a week, and locked in a grinding war of attrition putin's army and mercenarmercen >> the current rate of the expenditure of ukraine is many times higher than the current rate of production. >> reporter: one war in, the war is a vicious math problem, how to make enough ammunition for the united states and allies, and the race to increase the industrial base. doug bush is the army's head of acquisitions. >> right now, we are meeting demand. of course, i would want it to be faster, and everyone does.
7:37 am
but there is a time factor of a year and 18 months is what you are looking at. >> bush says that this the greatest ramp up of military production possibly going back to the korean war. >> early on, we realized that we had to put the foot to the floor. >> reporter: the goal is to produce two times of artillery rounds to 70,000, and twice as many javelin anti-tank missiles, and 30% more rocket launchers about 850 per month, and the precision weapons that ukraine is using to target ammo depots and 60 stingers aircraft ammo each month. the u.s. is not at war to russia, but it matters little to the manufacturers whose weapons are part of the fight. >> our industrial base is still largely geared towards a peacetime environment, and not towards a wartime or at least a quasi-wartime environment that
7:38 am
we are now in. >> reporter: to get a sense of the contracts out there, and within the last couple of weeks, we have seen $1.5 billion out in contracts for the crucial 1.55 artillery shell to get there faster, and to the front lines in greater quantities. jim and erica. >> it is coming faster, and how to appreciate it all, oren. thank you. and now, fox news privately trashed the claims of fraud in the 2020 election even as they allowed the comments to be promoted on the air.

7:43 am
there was no widespread fraud in georgia's 2020 presidential election and that is a unanimous finding of a grand jury investigating president trump's efforts to overturn the election in that state. >> parts of the highly anticipated report were released yesterday, and the grand jury concluded that some witnesses may have lied under oath, and urged the d.a. to consider perjury charges. some of the most loyal allies of president trump went before the grand jury, but nobody was named in the parts of the report that were made public. and also, there is some rejections of cakari lake's clas
7:44 am
in her claims that there was election fraud, and it was found that people were allowed to vote and their votes were cast and of course, she continues to lie about that. >> and governor katie hobbs won that election by 17,000 votes, but lake says she is going to take that fight to the state supreme court. another story, that we are covering this morning, newly revealed text messages that show how some of the biggest names at fox news actually felt about the bogus election fraud claims that they were pushing at the same time that on fox's air. >> so the messages were revealed in court filings, and this is part of the billion dollar lawsuit against the right wing media channel, and cnn reporter oliver darcy is joining us. these documents of what they are revealing is not surprising to folks in the media and maybe folks in washington, but revealing for a lot of the dedicated viewers.
7:45 am
>> yeah, i think that this is a court filing and the messages contained in it really expose fox news as frankly a propaganda machine in search of the profit. and people like rupert murdoch and top hosts like tucker and shawn hannity and laura ingram and others knew that president trump's claim were bogus, and yet those claims were made on to the air, and they were shy about fact-checking, and in fact, in one case, one of the fox news correspondents, jackie hinrich, fact checked a tweet from her
7:46 am
and they wanted her fired. >> just because she fact checked the president? >> yes, and they want her fired for that. and she wasn't. >> right. >> and so it shows how devoid the journalistic ethics the people at the top of fox news were, anded they were not caring what the right thing was at the top of fox news and not afraid of alienating the audience and afraid of donald trump, and these messages are quite damning, and they reveal it. >> oliver, as the messages were revealed, has fox news been covering revelations in the last 24 hours? >> fox news is surprisingly not kori covering the revelations covering their own network, and rupert murdoch's own newspaper is not, and he is accusing the
