join us weekdays from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. eastern. and at this time every week on cnn international. the news continue next right here on cnn. we just heard from florida police minutes ago, then they are closer to finding out who murdered a florida couple in a brutal home invasion. a couple leaving behind six children, some with down syndrome. >> our investigators for the first 36 to 48 hours and hit a numerous number of walls and here within the last ten hours, the dam has broke. we got some very, very good leads we're currently pursuing. >> let's talk about all those good leads now. david mattingly was at that news conference and he join us now

with details on who killed and how they were killed them. tell us what you've learned. >> a very good lead. it all came do you mean to the vehicle that was used and the surveillance tape from the home. they captured images of a red dodge van. a very large vehicle. it was seen at their property leaving and going into the property. and what they were able to do was put that out there. they got some tips this morning that led them to that van. that van led them to the owner of the van who then directed them to who was using the van and that, and another person who was associated with the person using that van. all very by the book police work. that brought them to two persons of interest that are being questioned rate now. and when we asked, are these suspects or persons of interest, the sheriff was very clear to say these are persons of

interest. they are not charge yet. but listen to how he describe their possible suspected connection to the crime? listen. >> at this time, the sheriff's office in our investigators are comfortable with the lease that we have developed to identify two people that are persons of interest that we can tie to enough significant events and instances in this case that would lead a reasonable person to believe that they have an association with these murders. >> the two people of interest they have right now, they say they match the description of the men they saw in the surveillance video inside the house. the murders of this couple happened on thursday afternoon. about after 7:00 in the afternoon. the police say that they were shot multiple times in their home. this couple well known in the area for opening their hearts

and their home to special needs children adopting a dozen children over the years. there were eight children inside the home at the time of the shooting. six of those children are down syndrome children. + say that those children now being cared for by family in an undisclosed location. everyone being very protective of them. everyone very concerned now that the parents have been killed. >> have they talk about motive at all in this press conference? are they still interviewing these two people of interest to try to figure that out? >> that is the big question, don. why? why would someone want to kill this couple? for that question, the sheriff is not offering up any answers right now. something he did tell us about the way this break-in happened at the home, he said it happened very quickly. surprisingly quickly. they got in. they kill the couple. and they got out.

he said that suggests experience. he wouldn't go into details about what kind of weapon were used or what might have been taken out of the home. he won't even confirm this was a robbery to say anything was taken out. at this point, he said the way this was carrying out suggest experience, they got in, they kill the couple, they got out. as far as a connection to the couple or any kind of motive, that remain the very big question in this case. >> all right. they are questioning though two people right now and david is standing by for more breaking details on this. meantime, some emotional moments for president barack obama as he visited africa for the first time since taking office. krouz of people clamored just to get a glimpse of america's first african-american president who wrap up his visit there just tonight. in a speech to the particle. a ghana, president obama praised the sub saharan nation as a beacon of democracy. >> the people of ghana have work hard, put democracy on a firmer

footing. with repeated peaceful transfers of power, even in the wake of closely contested elections. >> all right. the president and the first family also toured the cape coast castle, which the british used as a slave dungeon. he compared it to a recent visit to a jerl an concentration camp. >> it is will reminiscent to the trip i took to buchenwald because it reminds us of the capacity of human beings to commit great evil. >> later this hour, we'll play the president's entire comments from the cape coast capital. now that mr. obama has spoken, some ghanaians, they want to see some action. joining us from ghana with more. what do they want to see? what do they want to hear?

>> president obama spoke to the parliament but he was not only speaking to this country. he was speaking to the continent. this was how ghana react. they lined the streets from early morning to get as close as possible to the first african-american president of the united states. there was the motorcade and then an outbreak of jubilation. >> welcome, welcome. >> reporter: the first country in sub saharan africa to host president obama. and as the president went out of sight to outline his vision for the continent, the people crammed into any place they could find with a television set to watch him. >> the 41st century will be shaped -- >> reporter: some were just delighted by the matter sight of him in their own country. they cheered when he praised

gauba's progress but also when mr. obama spoke about the continent's shortcomings from which they have not been spared. president obama may have come here to highlight ghana's success orcs but this country is far from perfect. >> we have suffered too much from a government's corruption, from poverty, from inability of providing good education. >> reporter: the failure to invest in infrastructure and a heavy reliance on commodities that mr. obama point to as having stunt growth and made african economy vulnerable was as evidence here as it is in nigeria. and the lack of clean water, sanitation and adequate health care services have been as detrimental to ghana' population as any other continent. but as ghana satisfies perceived seriousness in dealing with corruption interesting record of good governance and relatively good economic growth that has earn it the time of the successful model in mr. obama's

eyes. so will his one-day stop? africa to deliver a critical speech laced with inspiration and motivation make a difference on a continent that is struggling to stand on its own two feet? >> if we apply what he said, it will make a difference. if he doesn't, it will be the same as it is today. i think it is not like one of those speech that -- when he spoke, it is straight and he was very much emphatic about what he was saying. and you can see it from what he was saying, that this man meant something for africa. >> reporter: president obama is not the first western leader to high flight continent's failures and weaknesses. but this time those words came from a man africans consider one of their own. a man whose personal history would make it hard for those resisting reform by any means possible to dismiss as patronizing or racist. at the end of his historic trip,

mr. obama left the continent having made a critical promise. to support an africa that is willing to uplift itself. president obama spoke a lot about responsibility, saying africa should take responsibility for its own destiny. he repeatedly said, africa's future is up to africans. we'll have to wait and see whether the leaders react to the speech in any meaningful way in the near future. >> i was watching you yesterday in the situation room with wolf blitz where president obama was arriving and they were doing the dancing and all of the people who were running up to him for a western leader, i know when presidents come over there, they are usually warmly received. but for a western leader, have you ever seen anything like this? is this unprecedented? >> reporter: it is not unprecedented. when president bush was here, you will remember in february, there were people drumming. there were dancer and president

bush join some of them. so it is not unprecedented. this is a truly african welcome that is given to anybody, whether they're from africa or anywhere he will in the world. >> they welcome everyone. this is how the people do it, right? thank you. >> reporter: indeed. >> thank you. we appreciate your reporting. thank you very much. tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern, we'll talk to the producer reggie allen about the new documentary, ten days in africa. allen will take us deep inside the heart of africa. he made the journey to dispel some myths about the couldn't in any event and find out firsthand what it is really like. our conversation with the filmmaker coming up tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern. only here on cnn. the u.s. is seeking amnesty for two american journalists. they have been ill prisoned in north korea, accused of entering the country illegally. the secretary of state hillary clinton asked that laura ling and lee be released on humanitarian grounds. clinton made the announcement at

a state department briefing. a plea for amnesty implies forgiveness for some offense. >> the journalists and there are families have expressed great remorse for this incident. and i think everyone is very sorry that it happened. what we hope for now is that these two young women would be granted amnesty through the north korean system and be allowed to return home to their families as soon as possible. >> ling and lee are both serving 12-year sentences in a prison that requires hard labor. demonstrators marched in the nation's capital to protest last month's presidential election in iran. they walked from capitol hill to the white house, and cnn's reporter has the story from washington. >> reporter: over the past couple of weeks, there has been more pro democracy rallies for iran outside of iran than inside. that of course is because people for the most part are free to

protest outside of iran. the latest rally taking place in washington, d.c. a few hundred people gathered at the reflecting pool about 11:30 a.m., working their way up to lafayette park in washington, d.c. some americans part of this rally but most iranian, who left iran over the past three decades because they simply weren't satisfy with thes can there. they want more social and political freedom. and they've really been concern about the post election turmoil and inspired by the uprising there. and they say they want to do their part. >> to hear the voice of the iranian people, we need free and fair elections supervised by the united nations. secondly, we want the western nation and the obama administration specifically to seek tougher sanctions against the iranian regime. diplomatic and economic sanctions. >> i'm here to spore all of the iranian people that have been fighting in iran for the past

two, three week after the election of everything. and i'm here to support the revolution going on. >> the u.s. and canada are trying to interfere. we're not. we're just standing beside the people of iran for getting rid of a totalitarian government. >> i want the people in iran to see that the people here support them. >> reporter: because of the crackdown in iran, the number protests have dramatically decreased. and there appears to be very little for the opposition. nevertheless, the people here at this rally say they'll continue to try to make their voices hear. most of these people are calling on the international community to come up. all diplomatic and economic relations with iran. that will be part of the debate you'll be hearing for the week and months to come. cnn, washington. new information tonight about the cemetery plot scam in chicago. many parents can't find the remains of their babies. plus i was on the phone with the

thousands of anxious family members showed up at the cemetery to feign out it was closed. the suspect are accused of digging up bodies so they could resell the plot. it is closed to the public so investigators can figure out how many graves were disturb. among those buried is emmett till, a hero of the civil rights era. his grave has not been disturbed. but his original casket, replaced by a newer one four years ago, was found rusting in a shack. >> reporter: emmett till redefine emotions in fundamental ways. to see his casket in this state of desecration and neglect is very sad. robbers at this level have no conscience. to them it is about the money. not about history, not about

culture, just about the money. >> there was a quick response from the emmitt till campaign. they urged them to reopen the investigation into till's killing. and joining us now from kansas city, the president and founder of till campaign. his name is alvin sikes. mr. psych, when was that -- he was exhumed in 2005, right? >> yes, sir. >> 2005. that was because of a justice department investigation. i remember, a correspondent who work with my old station, rene ferguson was working on a documentary there and talk about that and talk about his mom. but tell us the surrounding that, why was he dug up? and why was he not placed back in that same casket? >> well, back in 1955 when the trial commenced surrounding emmett till's death, the state of mississippi never did an autopsy. when the jury acquitted the two perpetrators, they stated the reason they did it was because they did not believe that the

state of mississippi had verified that the body was that of emmett till. so in 2005 when the investigation was reopen, it was necessary as part of the criminal investigation to have an autopsy done to establish the eyent of the body and to recover any possible forensic evidence that may be within the casket. at that time, we were told that the casket was not in good shape and that therefore, there was a new casket. emmett's body was put into a new casket for his reburial. but there was the assurance at that time that the original casket would be preserved for the mausoleum and the museum that was to be dedicated to emmett. >> that's what i was going to say. a lot of people think that casket should have been put in a museum. and so funny because i'm getting the social networking sites are

getting a text from rene saying, as you said, an all white jury acquitted him. there was no evidence the body was really till's until dna proved that it was his body. so that casket really, really should be put into a museum. when you hear this is happening, not only for emmett till but also for the dozens of families who don't know where their loved ones are, especially their children, what go through your head? >> well, the issue is unimaginable. but it is a criminal act so the only thing i can say at this time is that we're mad. but at the end of the day, we want to see the criminal justice system hole these people fully accountable to the full extent of the law for their actions. >> have you had a chance to speak with simeon wright yet, who is till's cousin? >> i haven't talk to him but did i talk to wheeler parker and some of the other family members. the family as a whole feels that

they're going through grieving again. and certainly want the casket rush to them as swiftly as possible. that property does remain the property of the till estate and is to be return to the family as soon as possible. ? if restorable, it will be restored and placed in a memorial in a proper setting. >> if it can be restored. i would venture to guess, mr. sikes, even if it is not restored forecast it is left in the condition that it is, it will all be part of the story. don't you think? and i think i as well as many other people would love to see that particular casket in a museum. listen, i want to ask you this. but mamie till died in 2003, just a couple years before it was proven that was her son's body. what do you think she would make of all this? she fought really hard. she wanted an open casket and what have you. where do you think she would want to see this casket go?

would she want to see it restored? in a museum? what do you? >> well, she cooperated with the people there at the cemetery for this mausoleum to be built. she wanted the mausoleum to be built that would house her remains, emmett's remain, the stepfather's remains, and have like a time line of events within the mausoleum. she would defense in itly want it preserved and kept, and certainly the remaining family members will see that that happens under the leadership of mr. lester barkley, who is the attorney for the estate. >> thank you. we really appreciate it. thank you very much. the whole story about emmett till, i'm not sure if we will it, it was because he allegedly whistled at a white woman. right? >> yes. that's what that was about. but now, with the emmett till

unsolved civil rights crime act and other it is surrounding the case and all the matters, there will be some vindication for his death. >> thank you. we appreciate it. thank you. let us know what happens. that is a piece of our history that should be preserved no matter what the outcome of the case at the cemetery. thank you. >> a lot of you are weighing in on this story. and specially jackson story. and i'm just getting a couple here. let see. which site do i want to go to? we'll talk about the one about the cemetery. webber. the cemetery story is just horrible. i can't believe someone would do something like this. people will do anything for money. universal said stealing caskets? i know we're only flesh here on earth and spirit later, but how can they have a conscience? where is the respect? dr. cmg says a member of my women's group said her entire family was at burr oaks.

she was really shaken and shot right back into her grief again. keith evans said as a relative of emmett till's, this is very disheartening. keith, send me a direct message on twitter. i want to get in touch with you. i would really lake to talk with you. do you know warren valentine? a radio show host? he had a number of family members in that cemetery and he call me yesterday and that that he was devastate. we'll reach out to him and see what he's doing. i read all of them. if you've bone twitter or facebook, you know i respond to a lot of them. if they make sense, of course. not just people looking to create controversy. i will responsible to your comments. it is me. meantime, minority children are will they're not welcome in a private swimming pool outside philadelphia. now the swim club president is on the defense. you're going to hear his explanation coming up. plus, our very own jackson jarrett. so good to see you in person.

no shuttle, no shuttle, not going to go, right? >> you would think the third time is the charm. lightning struck it about 11 times yesterday. check out this video. this is really incredible. we get this from nasa tv. they have one strike and then one more. uncredible. this did not hit the shuttle itself. but it hit the shuttle launch pad. usually, it happens all the time, believe it or not. it is a pretty common thing but these were unusually strong bolts of lightning so they were a little concerned. wanted to check the electrical system. so far serving looking okay. why does this get hit all the time? a lot of thorl in florida, for one thing. for another thing, this is almost 200 feet up in the sky. there you can see on the top of that, that is a lightning rod. and they actually have a lightning protection system in place here and it is design to have the lightning attract to

this rod. and then there are periods of wires that direct that energy away from the shuttle. so hopefully, everything is a-okay. it is schedule to launch to recall at about 7:13, i think, >> paul:. one thing that could inhibit is it more thunderstorm. and we've got maybe a 30% chance of more storm inhibiting that launch tomorrow. we'll continue to watch that for you. in the northeast, nothing severe right now. the watch boxes have all expired. we'll continue to see moisture. if you're heading out of town, maybe going to broadway. to the east of you, in the plain area, watch out for that and our other weather story today, certainly the heat. and we want to talk about that across parts of texas here. we're going to see temperature in the triple digits once again. phoenix real hot, too, 112 degrees. >> did you say 112. >>? yeah. 112, 113 there right now.

remarks allegedly made by some club member. were behind to kansas tell swim contract with a largely minority daycare center. >> really unfortunate. we apologize deeply. we regret deeply that this will to happen. >> i accept anyone's apology. when you tell the truthful i want him to tell the truth. >> here's what happened. a daycare center catering to mainly minority black and hispanic kids paid $1950 for the kids to use the pool once a weak for an hour and a half. but after one visit, their check was rush and summer swim trips cancel. >> we severely underestimated the number of children and our capacity to handle these groups. we were not prepared for it. and that's the only reason. it was a safety issue and that's the only reason the children, we fell it was not safe for them to be here. >> the daycare center call that a lie. the club flatly deny it discriminates and says two other daycare centers were also cancel after one visit.

>> you have hurt children, that heard racial comments and they don't understand. are they too black in their skin to swim? this could impact them for a lifetime. >> pennsylvania's human relation commission now is investigating two formal complaints file by parents of the daycare center. >> we always hope to settle these cases so that parties can move on with their lives and everyone feel that they can walk away feeling whole. >> for now, there doesn't appear tube learning curve or compromise in sight. >> thank you very much. we'll be talking about that story a lot more at 10:00 p.m. eastern tonight. digging very deep into that story. there you see the first family. they are in ghana. president barack obama delivers a personal message to africa in person. hear his complete comments while visiting the cape coast castle where americans -- africans, excuse me, were once health before being sole into slavery.

we've been telling but the first family's visit to cape castle. it serves as the center of trade. after they toured with mrs. obama and his daughters, president obama shared his thoughts firsthand. >> it is reminiscent of the trip i took to buchenwald. because it remind us of the capacity of human beings to commit great evil. one of the most striking thing that i heard was that right above the dungeons in which male captors were kept was a church. and that reminds us that

sometimes we can tolerate and stand by great evil, even as we think we're doing good. i think it was particularly important for my daughters who are growing up in such a blessed way to be reminded that a history can take very cruel turns. and hopefully, one of the thing that was imparted to them during this trip is their sense of obligation to fight oppression and cruelty wherever it appears. and that any group of people who are degrading another group of people have to be fought against. with whatever tool we have available to us.

so obviously it is a moving moment. we want to thank those who arranged for the tour, to gauna for preserving this history, as painful as it is. and i think that it help to teach all of us that we have to do what we can to fight against, the kinds of evils that sadly still exist in our world, not just this continent but in every corner of the globe. and i think as americans, and as african-americans, there is a special sense that on the one hand, this place was a place of profound sadness. on the other hand, it is here where the journey of much of the african-american experience

begins. and symbolically to come back with my family, with michelle and our children and see the portal through which the diaspora began but also to come back here in celebration with the people of ghana, of the extraordinary progress we've made because of the courage of so many, black and white, to abolish slavery and ultimately, win civil rights for all people. i think is a source of hope. a reminder that as bad as history can be, it is also possible to overcome. >> while inside the cape coast castle, president and mrs. obama unveiled a plaque commemorating their visit. it was placed on a wall outside

the male slave dungeons. for black in america two, soledad o'brien introduces to us what is you might call a silent struggle affecting black men across america. soledad los angeles for a solution. >> reporter: depression is an illness that affects more than 14 million americans every year, black, white, young, old. but black americans seek help for depression far less often than whites do. for black member, sometime the stigma of mental illness that prevents them from being open about it. but we spoke to one man who is trying to change it for other black men. shawn andrews is much of the strength behind the philadelphia eagle' offensive line. last summer, this 6'4", 330-pound right guard almost side line himself. >> i talk to my agent and will him, i don't think i'm going to training camp. >> reporter: you wanted to quit?

>> i wanted to give it up. he said you can lose a few million dollars. and i was like, so what? >> you didn't care. >> i knew something was wrong. >> that something was clinical depression. an illness he said he battle since grade school. but he never talked about it to anyone. >> were you thinking about killing yourself? >> i did have some suicidal thoughts. i was in my truckism got up to about 140 miles an hour. and i was thinking, i don't want to be hear. and it is funny, as i was thinking about flipping my vehicle or whatever the case, a picture of my son came across my phone. and the look in his face was, he didn't know what was going on but the look was like, why, dad? it was tough. >> it stopped you. >> yeah. >> from killing yourself. >> uh-huh. >> for many black men, depression is a dirty secret
