where are they diverting us? it's going to be bloodbath everywhere. >> i'm not sure how i would react. >> i was watching the guy sitting next to him. >> what would you do? i often think about it on the plane. >> i'd be the one to get up and be the tackle him. >> you never know. good morning, everyone. it's a bizarre and frightening attack on a united flight. the passenger allegedly tried to stab the flight attendant. the chilling video of the attack. also, four americans kidnapped at gunpoint in mexico, what we're hearing from their families. in addition to that, nearly two dozen suspects are now facing domestic terrorism charges after a violent mob of protesters attacked the future site of a police training

facility in atlanta. cnn chief law enforcement john miller is going to join us to break down the charges and the strategy police are using to prevent more violence. we begin with yet another terrifying incident on a flight. >> i'm taking over this plane. >> uh-oh. >> they tried to open the door and with and it happened during the flight. cnn obtained this video of the attack. this is frightening and one of several very scary incidents in the sky recently. >> that's right, don. this is now under investigation by the department of justice. second high-profile incident of an unruly passenger abroad an

american airliner. this has to be one of the most dramatic, in fact the department of justice said the flight crew first became alert when the alarm when the passenger tried to open the emergency exit. the flight from los angeles to boston, it was a smooth flight for the first five hours on sunday until -- >> so, where's the homeland security with the gun? i'm waiting for them to point the gun at them. i'll take every bullet in that clip. wherever in the body they shoot it i'll kill every man on this plane. >> reporter: identified as francisco torres of massachusetts. recorded by a passenger, the video shows torres having violent outbursts towards other

passengers and flight attendants. four minutes, nervous passengers sat down and listened. >> nobody cares. nobody cares. where's homeland security? >> reporter: 15 seconds later, torres walks out of his seat, pulls what appears to be a makeshift weapon out of his jacket pocket and said something that no airline passenger wants to hear. >> i'm taking over this plane. >> uh-oh. >> reporter: while united airlines say there were no reported injuries, they say torres rushed toward one of the flight attendant, hitting the flight attendant on the neck area three times. torres also told law enforcement he tried to open the emergency door to jump out of the plane, torres also claimed he was defending himself because he

believed the flight crew was trying to kill him. video shows the crew and passengers restraining torres. he remained restrained for another 30 minutes before the flight landed safely. and where torres was arrested. united airlines say that torres has been banned from future flights on the carrier, torres will appear before a judge on thursday. don? >> pete, there's also this, we're learning of a new runway incursion that's under investigation this morning the sixth recorded this year, what do you know? >> reporter: yeah, the sixth recorded this year, don, this happened at sarasota on february 16th. the national transportation board said it's investigating a air canada on the runway, as american airlines was coming to

land on the same runway, the american airlines went around, another string of incidents that will come up on capitol hill tomorrow. >> pete, thank you very much. in our next hour, we'll speak to a woman who was on that united flight and recorded the video of the attack. also this morning, an update on those four kidnapped americans. still no word from their families. what looks like a case of mistaken identity. take a look. this video is frightening. showing people exploded into a truck one by one. cnn confirmed that video matches the incident of kidnapping. we haven't independently confirmed if that's the four americans in that video. >> i felt a little uneasy, because i told him i had a dream.

i'm just checking on you. that's what i told him thursday. then like i said friday morning, i texted him and i didn't get anything. >> the waiting is the worst part. it has its advantages and disad disadvantages. however no news is good news. >> they're certainly holding out hope. rosa, what's the update this morning? >> reporter: you know, poppy, as you mentioned we're still trying to confirm that video to see if it actually shows the americans but we're learning this morning from the aunt of one of the americans that they recognize one of their loved ones in that video. now as you mentioned this video is very graphic, just a warning before we show that video. but according to the aunt of one of the individuals, she says that she recognizes her loved

one's blonde hair the clothing that she was wearing on that very day, now according to the fbi, the four americans crossed into mexico on friday in a white mini van with white carolina plates. we have photos of this. u.s. official with knowledge of the investigation says indeed this is case of mistaken identity and that the cartel's likely mistook these americans for haitian smugglers. they're trying to figure out exactly where these americans are. they're trying to find them, bring them back, the u.s. state department keeping a close eye on all the developments. take a listen. >> we're standing ready to provide all appropriate assistance. we remind americans about the travel advisory, it remains at

level 4, do not travel. we encourage americans to heed that advice. >> reporter: poppy, as you heard there, this area has been on the do not travel list for a while because americans can and have been victims of crime, kidnapping, i should mention that the fbi has $50,000 reward for information that gets the americans home. >> tell us what we know about all four of them. >> what we know from their loved ones they're very tight friends. they grew up together in south carolina. and one of the individuals la mother of six. according to their loved ones she was the one who was headed

to mexico for this medical procedure. she never arrived for that appointment. now family members said this would have been the second procedure that she received in mexico. so that tells me some of the familiarity, unclear what part of mexico she had her first procedure, but again, these are very close friends. they were together and they were really just hoping to go to mexico for a quick medical procedure and come back to the united states. >> terrifying. and children waiting wondering where their mother is. next hour, we'll take you to the hometown of the abducted americans. also this morning, we're tracking in georgia where at least 23 people are now facing

domestic terrorism charges after being arrested amid violent clashes with police officers at the construction site for a proposed new training center for police. they said it would increase militarization and atlanta police say they're not protesting insteaden gaging in criminal activity. tell us what you're seeing on the ground? >> reporter: good morning, we're on the edge of this forest, where countless numbers of activists have made their home, camping out here in opposition of this proposed police training facility. it's become a camp site and staging area where we're at, a free store with clothes and earlier this morning, i spoke with two of the activists

they're living inside this forest right now because they don't want cop city built. they see it as a par military facility, further militarizing the police in this country. they don't want the environmental harm by this facility. it's become in a sense ground zero for activists to come in from across the country to confront police or at the very least air their grievances against police. 35 people taken into custody. of those 23 have been charged with domestic terrorism. similar to the other charges we've seen from individuals who have confronted police at this site. georgia state police said the man opened fire first and they returned fire.

this week has been promoted by protesters, a week of action and protests with the fate of this proposed police and fire training facility dubbed cop city hanging in the balance. >> the question of course is, nick, how long these are going go on, what these protests can look like? >> reporter: >> nick, stand by. want to bring in chief law enforcement analyst john miller. good morning. . 35 people taken into custody. at least 23 people facing domestic terrorism charges. how serious is this. >>. >> this has been going on for a while. it involves a shooting between police and a protester, the protester was killed. second wave in downtown theratlanta.

not at the construction site, they broke bank windows, attacked businesses, so you've got a couple of interesting dynamics here, you got groups of local protesters who have a position on this training ground and whether it's going to infect the environment and destroy a wooded area, but then you have the out of town group that's come in and out of the 23 people charged yesterday, 2 are from the state of georgia. the rest of what police referred to as professional out of town age day or thes who inserted themselves into this to create a flashpoint. supporters from out of town who are experienced in taking on authority and dealing with police. however you want to look at that. you see it starts with a protest march which is legal and, you know, under police escort and going by the site and then it turns into the launching of

fireworks at the police, shooting of fireworks at police. molotov cocktails. burning of a police atv and that is that group of out of towners. you change out of what you're wearing into your all black clothes, making harder for police to describe who did what. it's been very dicey. >> what we just talked about with rosa, these four americans, one going for a medical procedure right over the border in mexico, authorities think this is a case of mistaken identity, how do you get them back? >> well that's a complicated situation, because in the normal situation you get them back through -- and i used to run kidnap investigations for the lapd -- there are a set of

procedures there, when you're operating in an imprer misive environment, it gets very complicated because you don't own the grounds. the fbi, the dea, the u.s. marshals all work in mexico with the u.s. embassy, their job since the american authorities have no legal authority on the ground is to help develop intelligence and informants and information that can result in one of two things, either adding commun communications, pressure to turn them over, some appear to be wounded or to develop information on a location, then you have to do a dynamic rescue

operation which is dangerous. >> the state department says don't travel there, level 4, it's incredibly dangerous, but a lot of people do do this because medical treatments are less expensive in the united states, it's not all that uncommon, is it? >> no, you know, people make this calculated risk, they mean don't travel deep into the state, i'm just going across the border from brownsville. i've seen a doctor on facebook, my friends have been down. this would have been her second trip to this medical facility. she's got her friends. safety in numbers. but this is a really bad example of how really dangerous it is and this is what she was involved in probably an $8,000

procedure in the united states which is a $6,000 or $5,000 procedure. that's a lot of risk. people in hard-hit southern california have been trying to dig out as another round of snow on the way. the total snowfall for the season there stands at more than 48 feet. this is in california. all right, that's central sierra snow lab says that's the total amount. >> i'm feeling frustrated. it's frightening. >> it's hard to make stuff. i'm eating what there is. it's getting uncomfortable. >> we're live in crestline, california, they're talking about how hard it is to get on and off the mountain. >> reporter: the good news here

is, poppy at least the roads are open. they've now opened it up just to residents so they can come and go. some people were afraid if they left the mountain they wouldn't be able to get back up here. the other good news is, it wasn't good for them yesterday, a rainstorm came through and it melted some of the snow out here. there's still a ton of snow. there's still a lot of the fact had so much snow on top of these building here you had roofs collapsing making sure their homes are going to be okay. people with snow blowers on top of their roofs. some of these businesses making sure they get the snow off. people are hiking in from the other regions. the county said 60% of the roads are open now, a lot of those side roads aren't open. because of that people are

trying to make their way down here. to get down to the middle of town where they can go and pick up food. overall we're looking at still some divot times but at least they can get in and out of here now. in northern california, another storm system is heading that way as well. homes had roofs collapsed because of snow. so it's still very much the heart of winter here even though we're into march, poppy. >> it certainly is. i remember when we were literally uncovering that car in the snow that was totally hidden. also in washington, a revised crime bill for washington, d.c., has split

there, it comes as there's some drama under way in the nation's capital. the d.c. council is withdrawing of the capital's criminal code for consideration. before the senate was scheduled to vote on it. the senate will still vote on it. after the white house announced that president biden would not veto the republican-led measure. now they're going to move ahead with this. this has upset some democrats in the house after they voted on it and voted against overturning it. some democrats said it's put them in a difficult position. they're the ones who voted against it with the white house now changing it. a d.c. council member was crittle call of this effort. >> they're just using this bill

to spread misleading soft on crime talking points. house speaker mccarthy on cnn this morning saying that the council want to decriminalizing c carjackings. that's false. the speaker's home state of california, carjacking is only punishable by nine years. frankly the speaker's ignorance on this issue is exactly why congress shouldn't be making decisions for the district of columbia. >> hard to understate the frustration from house democrats, leading democrats over the way the white house has handled this. >> we have seen a falling of political dominos ever since last week when the president said that he wouldn't veto this bill if congress were to pass

it. democrats were blindside d. there were of course democratic progressives who said his position doesn't line up with his stated support for d.c. statehood. as you said yesterday, we saw this whole debacle with the d.c. council trying to take this out of congressional review because they knew the u.s. senate was able to kill this bill. look, the big picture, we're seeing a big reminder of how big issue and vulnerability democrats see as crime being, republicans have consistently go after democrats as being soft on crime in the same way they said democrats are soft on the border. this has captured how politically fraut this issue is going to be and found themselves in a bind including president biden. he wants to make sure he's presenting himself as a leader of the party on not being soft

on crime but on this issue it was kind of a difficult balancing act and in the end, the white house didn't end up giving a full or clear explace they clearly felt this was a route he had to take. heading into 2024 this is going to be a huge political issues that republicans attack democrats on. >> we know the president is going to release his budget blueprint this morning. he talked about medicare, one of their main contention points with republicans. >> so much leading up to thursday when president biden is going to be releasing his own budget, this is sort of going to be seen as the opening sal voe of his negotiations with kevin mccarthy. for the president he has made clear a big part of his

messaging is going to be about strengthening medicare. this is part of what he said this morning, if the maga republicans get their way, seniors would pay higher out of pocket costs on insulin. the deficit will be birk and medicare will be weaker. now i should note of course kevin mccarthy has said social security and medicare two republicans don't plan on touching. we'll see the details of this budget come thursday. it's already pretty clear what the white house's messaging is going to be and the democrats' messaging is going to be. a stern rebuke of u.s. policies as tensions between the world's two largest economies, conflict and confrontation is inevitable if washington doesn't change course. he defended beijing's close

partnership with moscow. we're live in beijing. what else are you hearing from the new foreign minister? >> this was his first press conference as china's foreign minister. he was china's ambassador to the u.s. until recently. it's significant that he struck this more combative tone. he warned of catastrophic consequences if the u.s. doesn't change its approach to china. we heard him emphasize this argument that beijing has been making for a long time this argument that the u.s. is trying to contain and suppress its rise. he accused the u.s. of plotting an asian-pacific version of nato. he defended china's partnership with russia as imperative and that china hasn't supplied

weapons to russia or ukraine. this was clearly a fiery press conference and it really sets the tone for china's foreign policy not only for this year but years to come. it shows there's not going to be an off-ramp to tensions any time soon. this press conference happened during china's biggest annual legislative session, a rare opportunity for media to attend. i came back from a session myself. i actually had to enter the quarantine hotel last night, get a pcr test and get bussed over to the venue and bussed back to quarantine. >> thank you. ahead, we'll tell you how an animal tranquilizer is changing the drug epidemic across the

welcome back. we don't have to tell you, you know this. fentanyl crisis in america is destroying communities everywhere, in city of philadelphia the solution may be more dire. a powerful animal sedative has quickly found its way into vast majority of the city's drug supply. watch this. >> i heard that like people don't really want the tranq, they can't avoid it's in everything, is that true? >> yeah. >> reporter: in philadelphia it took a couple of years to dominate the supply, we now are at 91% and we're seeing in other over major cities where it's not present that it is dominating the supply in less than six months. >> tell me what you know about

this zombie drug >> it's cig ma tiezing. why would you say about a human? >> she went to philadelphia for this. she'll be reporting in full tonight before the town hall on fentanyl. what is this and what is it doing to these communities? >> it's a powerful sedative. one of the approximate is, narcan works on fentanyl, but it doesn't work on the tranq. talking to people out there i was afraid they wouldn't want to

talk to me, but they did. multiple people said to me things like i'm human, you know i'm a person, like i am a mother, i have children. >> it's mixed in with some of the opioidss they're taking. >> yes. the idea is that drug dealers put it in to make it last longer. >> i've been just obsessed watching these videos and the coverage around the country, because philadelphia, former philadelphiian, philadelphia's on the front lines, but it's happening in boston and the pacific northwest, it's happening all over the country with tranq as they call it. it's every different

demographic. it's not just one demographic of people who get sadly hooked on drugs. it turns people into zombies, they stand there on the street. they can't move. you can go right in front of their face and they can't move. so what is the solution? what are people doing in order to fix this? i don't know what the fix is. it's an awful epidemic that's making its way all across the country. >> lot of people i talked to got there because they were prescribed pain pills for c cancer, and another thing that experts told us that mental health care is a big part of this, lot of people are trying to drown out their thoughts about their trauma, people who were addicted told does same thing. that tranq meant you don't have to think, you don't have to see,

you don't have to know. >> the woman you spoke to there at the end is really notable, sarah, she runs what's known as savage sisters, she's a former he heroin addict, she can em emphathize with them. people may donate canned foods, where are they going to cook that? shampoo, where are they going to wash their hair? she understands how to take care of their needs. shower, clean clothes. nurses to take care of their wounds. >> the other big part of this it also causes a flesh-eating disease, many of the people because they're addicted they're

on the streets and they can't get medical care. >> yes, doctors aren't sure why, it causes these large wounds on the skin. they understand why they won't heal. the blood isn't going to these wounds. t the flesh is dying. it's really rough. it's really rough. the doctor said, the nurses who take care of people who come to the hospital say, there are some secondary trauma from seeing so many people who are in a difficult situation. >> the full reporting tonight on "ac360" ahead of our town hall on fentanyl. that's tonight. we're just hours away from history being made on capitol hill. the first black woman to represent virginia in congress will be sworn in, but first she'll be with us live right

con. congresswoman-elect from virginia, jennifer mcclellan, good morning. >> good morning, thank you. i'm very excited. >> how are you doing? this is milestone. how does it feel? >> i have to pinch myself every now and then to remind myself that it's real, it's something that i never thought would happen. i'm so thrilled. >> it hasn't been that long since we've had poll taxes, you were the great-great-grandchild of slaves. you're a working mom. how does your experiences shape the perspectives that you're going to bring to the table to the people's house? >> being a black woman shapes everything that i know, you know

i will bring. the stories i was told growing up. daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter and niece of domestic workers. i understand the importance of that work. my mom was the first member of her family to go to high school let alone college because in her town the only school that taught black children was the catholic church and it only went to eighth grade. so everything is shaped by my life experiences and those stories. >> you're going to be sworn in, it's amazing 58 years exactly 58 years after bloody sunday in selma, you'll be sworn in on your father's old bible. where you found a copy of your dad's poll tax that he paid to vote in the 1940s.

how do you plan to fight for voting rights in a divided congress? >> i know, but i learned in the general assembly here in virginia i was in the minority for 14 years and i learned just be persistent and that's how i was able to make virginia the first state to pass voting rights act. i'll keep those stories and i'll keep fighting that fight in congress until we succeed. >> i was surprised it's not that far behind. during the commercial break i told you my very own story of reading with my grandmother about poll tax and the jelly beans in the jar and that sort of thing. can you relate to americans how people think that this fight is over and this was just a generation ago, it wasn't that long ago? >> it wasn't that long ago.

my own father paid poll taxes and his father paid poll taxes. my mom didn't vote until after 1965. and when i think about, you know, my great-grandfather telling his story about having to not only take a literacy test to find three black men to vouch for him to vote, that's not that that long again. even when we have success the voting rights act of 1965 there's always a backlash, we have to work constantly to protect voting rights. >> you championed abortion rights, guarantee a woman's right to have an abortion. how will you continue this fight in. >> the decision, health care decisions including abortion

care should be between patients and their providers. i'll tell the stories of people who have had to have abortions and how restrictions and bans impact their health. and that's how i was able to make virginia the first state in the south to proactively expand access to abortion. it took me a decade to do that. hopefully it won't take that long in congress. again you got to be persistent. >> congresswoman, thank you for what you doing. congratulations to you. it looks good on this mornin potential game changer when it comes to detecting breast cancer. how artificial intelligence could spot signs that your doctor might miss. we are going to discuss that and the concerns raise about this new technology with the medical director of the louder breast

"the new york times" has an interesting piece about the impacts of a.i. in hungary. one of the doctors says that a.i. spotted a tiny tumor that that doctor admits she missed. what does this really mean? we want to get an honest analysis of what this means. joining us to do that is the medical director of the lauder breast center at sloan kettering. thank you very much. i sent this to our team over the weekend because i was fascinated by this.

i think we all have victims of cancer in our families and people we love can you explain how this a.i. works? >> a.i. is a tool that machines use are for looking at images and coming up with, comparing those images that images have been orrecorded in the machine identify abnormalities. it's used widely in many areas of science and business and many other things. here are the applications, this a.i. technology to look at mammograms and identify areas that a human radiologist may want to look at more carefully. it's computer assisted detection. it's been around since the late 1990s. the technology is always getting better. >> i want your read on this image. here are side-by-side images of what mit did. they used artificial intelligence to predict breast cancer. the left side is high risk. four years later that is cancer

developed, right? and the point is a doctor, i am eyes may miss that? >> there is lots of abnormalities that you see. they are not abnormalities. their changes that are not really cancer. you can't call everything cancer. then everybody would need a b biopsy and that's not practical. what this does is it identifies risk. it can tell a woman you are at high risk for developing breast cancer before you develop a breast cancer. one of the things that humans can do is order special tests, contrast enhanced mammograms and mris and other specialized tests that can be used. the other thing that humans can do that machines can't do is look at previous mammograms and see if there are any changes. >> better than a human eye can compare two images? >> think of a.i. as a tool for helping the radiologists looking

at the images better. it won't replace a radiologist. >> what do you do if you get this, they are told they are at high risk for breast cancer? we think about that gene where some people get elective mastectomies. >> brca1 and brca2. >> what would this tell someone to do? do you get more ma'am mams? >> you have to make individual judgments. often we do other tests such as contrast enhanced mammograms, mris. people should go for testing sometimes to see if they are carrying an abnormal gene. you can't give a blanket recommendation to everybody. it has to be individualized. >> you have a warning for people. so, for example, i called to make my mammogram point for this summer. ful i do it every june. you have a warning for people not to walk in and say something, right? >> i think some people can say i am only going to get in a mammogram using a.i. to help the

radiologist. it's not standard of care. we are using it, studying it, trying to get better at it. but indeed a skillful radiologist is still your best protection. the biggest protection is get imaging. half of people who should be getting it are not getting it right now which is an awful thing. we had a slowdown because of the pandemic, too. the most important thing, get a mammogram and go to a good railologist. >> anyone over 40? >> yes. >> thank you very, very much. "cnn this morning" continues right now. ♪ ♪ >> i'm taking over this plane! >> oh, no.

[ bleep ]. >> it is the moment that we have not stopped talking about all morning here that. terrifying scene playing out on a united airlines flight, all of it caught on camera, is a passenger is accused of trying to stab a flight attendant and open the emergency exit door in a moment we are going to speak with a witness who watched it unfold. >> can't wait to hear from her. and four americans kidnapped at gunpoint in one of mexico's most violent and dangerous cities. the desperate search to find them is underway. what we just learned about why they were there. plus this. >> they were peaceful, orderly, and meek. these were not insurrections, they were sightseers. >> that is tucker carlson trying to rewrite the history of january 6th with surveillance video provided to him by the house speaker kevin mccarthy provided to him an
