right now where they sought to have some of the charges against him dismissed. the judge quickly denied that request, but meantime, we are learning new information about the conditions tsarnaev is being held under at a federal medical prison near boston. "the new york times" reports that he cannot mingle, speak or pray with any other prisoners. his only visitors are the legal team, and mental health consultant, and his immediate f family who had apparently seen him only rarely. he may write only one letter, three pages, double-sided and place one telephone call each week to his family, and when he reads newspapers or magazines, they are stripped of the classified ads to letters to the editor, and he is only able to go out to a single small confined place. and now under way, the attorneys

are also asked to ask the judge to ease some of the limitations. and so it seems that, the judge is not going to ease those restrictions, ron mott, outside of the courthouse, and in the guidelines of what dzhokhar tsarnaev is able to do and his access? >> yes, exactly. good morning, tamron. what the defense team is trying to do is because he is presume pli trying to be there for some time, they want the living experience to be as normal as possible under the circumstance, and so far in court this morning, they are not getting much, much in the way of favorable decisions on their side. now, one thing that ewe can tel you is that the defense team appears to be laying some of the mitigating groundwork for the trial that is scheduled so far to begin sometime in november that his brother tamerlan was 26 years old at the time, and

dzhokhar was 19 and the defense team is trying to establish that his brother was an undue influence and sort of corrupting influence on this young man who by all accounts was, had assimilated pretty well into society here in the boston area, and one thing that came up here today regards a 2011 triple homicide in the town of waltham in the metro section of the metro section here of boston, and satsarnaev is supposedly connected to that, and it is to read the testimony of that the trial which was a witness who was involved in a killing with police down in florida a month or so after the boston marathon bombings under some circumstances that are cloudy even still these many months later, and so there are a number of moving parts right now, but the court is trying to tell the

defense that it is going to be on the schedule and on to start in november, but a lot of things to try to work out between now and then, tamron. >> and another consideration, ron, the attorneys representing tsarnaev have a decision as to whether or not to seek a change of venue in hopes of avoiding the death penalty? >> right. our pete williams has done some great reporting on this point, tamron. boston and the commonwealth of massachusetts for the most part, the folks are not big death p l penalty supporters, and so to seek a change of venue from boston to some jurisdiction may not be in his best interests. so we will have to see whether his defense team picks up on that, and decides after all to go ahead and try the case here in boston know nag the public support here in the commonwealth is largely against the death penalty, and the prosecutors for the united states government say they will seek that if they can win a conviction here. >> and thank you for the details, ron. stunning new video has

surfaced that shows a huge gathering of al qaeda with inmates who have recently escaped from yemen prisons. there is a 52-minute clip on youtube and it shows al qaeda's number two in command who says that he wants to attack the u.s. and joining the militants, and joining us is jim miklaszewski, and so many questions here, and start with the group or the organization who posted the video, and who are they? >> well, several groups. they are the ones who posted it of course are connected originally who posted it and distributed it were connected to al qaeda. it is a highly produced video. and we have learned over time that al qaeda has become very good at communications, putting out the propaganda films and the videos to the to try to rally t forces if you will at a time when they are forces pretty much degraded. but in the case, you know, the video is somewhat troubling in that it does conjure up the

early images of osama bin laden taking target practice with the al qaeda forces there in the desert prior to 9/11. u.s. officials won't say whether they knew it was going on and whether they had the an opportunity to launch a drone attack and didn't do it, but i will tell you that to do that in this case where there was as many as 100 people gathered in one place is difficult for the u.s. intelligent services and military to get the actual approval that we need to launch a drone strike, because you can't guarantee that all of those in that crowd were al qaeda and posed any kind of threat to national security. but it is somewhat troubling that this number two, the nasser al waheshi did launch this in open skies apparently without feeling any threat from the u.s. >> and again, mik, the timing of

this showing the members of al qaeda who escaped from prison in yemen in february, and so that is a window of the timing of when this may have taken place. >> and u.s. officials do acknowledge that the film, this video is recent. that it does show al qaeda's number two, and beyond that, you can't speculate about what is going on here. they believe it is a simple propaganda video. it does indicate though that despite the fact that osama bin laden is dead, that al qaeda core forces have been decimated over the past 12 years or so. that they still do remain a viable threat particularly if you talk to u.s. intelligent services, the most serious threat to the united states homeland from al qaeda resides right there in yemen where this video is taken. >> all right. thank you, mik, very much. >> okay. and now to a developing

story in south korea. the u.s. navy is on standby right now to help in the search for survivors after a ferry sank this morning off of the southern coast. almost 300 people are still missing and 4 are confirmed daed. the ferry was packed with high school students when it went down, and on the way to the resort island often called south kree ya's hawaii. dozens of boats, helicopters and divers are on the scene. crews are having a difficult time searching, because the ship is now more than 100 feet below the surface with very thick mud on the ocean floor. joining me now by phone in seoul is geoffry king. >> thank you, tamron. >> and geoffry, can you tell me the details of what happened here? >> well, the details are actually hazy, and we are still waiting to hear more from the authorities on what exactly happened, but this morning in korea at about 9:00 a.m., the ship sent out an s.o.s. signal,

and there is a lot of students reported hearing a loud noise before the ship capsized. that is when a lot of them got off and rescued to safety, but since then, we have not heard much on what exactly is going on. it is not clear what exactly caused the singing, because the weather conditions today were fine. this is a common route, and a daily route. all sorts is of tourists in korea travel from seoul to jeju for student vacations, and honeymoons and all of these sorts of things. >> and geoffry, we are looking at the video, and let me pause you, because we are looking at the video of the ferry sinking, and we are told that it happened in a matter of hours after the first distress call, but that some passengers say they heard or they were told to stay on board of the sinking shippen after it started to fill with the water that we are watching

it. >> yes. and actually, i have been in contact with the authorities today, but we have not heard anything again details to point to exactly what caused this. all with we know for now is that there are 300 people missing and the fear is that they are trapped below the deck. we know that most of them were high school students with about 15 teachers out of the total of 459 people on the ship. we have four confirmed dead. so it is something that we are waiting to hear more. it is dark now, and we do know that the rescue operation will continue tomorrow morning in earnest. >> geoffry cain, thank you from the global post, for information, and we will keep the audience posted, but right now, 292 missing and many of them high school students who were on this ferry. thank you, geoffry, for the information. and coming up, michael bloomberg's new effort to take on the the nra. >> reward those who are

graphic testimony again today in the oscar pistorius murder trial. pistorius actually got sick again in court, as defense forensic expert roger dixon explained reeva steenkamp's inju injuries the night that pistorius shot her. the prosecutors spent a lot of time attacking dixon's credentials and questioning whether he was even qualified to analyze what happened that night. >> are you qualified as a geologist. am i right? >> my first degree was in chemistry and geology. >> i see that you have currently not affiliated to any forensic body. >> that is so, my lady. >> are you a blood spatter

expert? >> i have received no training in blood spatter, my lady. >> the trial has been postponed for two weeks, because a member of the prosecution team has to attend another case, and the trial was scheduled to run three weeks, but it starred march 3rd, and continues. a home burglary in houston is getting a lot of attention, because of the chilling surveillance released by police. the surveillance shows the burglar looking into the nursery, and looking into the crib of the sleeping baby and all of this while the child's parents slept unaware in another room. and now the police are asking for the public's help to catch this criminal and prevent him from striking again. natalie morales has the details. >> reporter: a little boy who is unaware of how close he came to danger. in the chilling video, you can see the burglar stalking

silently through the house. when he gets to the nursery, he shines the light down to the sleeping child asleep in the crib. the robbery was captured after 5:00 a.m. while the child was asleep, and thankfully, nobody was hurt, and the family didn't know for hours that they had been robbed. the intruder entered through the unlocked front window, in the video, he can be seen taking a laptop, and that was later found in the neighbor's yard. ten days after the incident, the father is still shaken up. >> my stomach was turning, and i was really upset what happened. >> reporter: the harris county sheriff's office releesased the video to help find the suspect who is believed to be a hispanic male in the teens. and in all, he got away with $60 in cash, and small sum considering how close he was to the family's most valuable item. >> as soon as i knew, i went

upstairs and kissed him so hard. i was so happy to know that he was okay. >> and they believe that the burglar may be responsible for t the another string of burglari s burglaries. unbelievable. and if you can believe this, this weather is bringing us the pollen vortex, and pay attention allergy sufferers. we will talk about the explosion of the allergins right now, and how a lot of us will be popping a lot of clairetin, and i am putting myself in that. and plus, here is a look at what is happening on april 16th, attorney general eric holder, and fbi director are speaking at the national summit on illegal drug drugs the i da. the topics will include marijuana legalization and decriminalization. this afternoon, the president and vice president joe biden will travel to pennsylvania to talk about jobs training and skills training. and today, marks the 50th

today, and many people woke up with snow on the ground, and snowed in chicago a day ago and wisconsin and as i understand from what i have read, all of the sudden the trees and the flowers and they are going to bloom in the same time, and on a scale of 1-10, and the 10 is the worst, what can we expect here? >> well, if you have seasonal allergies, it will come in two ways. first is trees and then later spring is grass. but because everything is going to be compressed now, we will is one big blooming season. yesterday my crocus came up, and now it is buried in snow, so i know that the blooming trees are going to take a little while. it is bad, because all of the fruit trees are going to be looking to be affected and look for the price of fruit to go up at the end of summer, too. >> and that is bad news on top of bad news, but regard iing th

pollen vortex here, and the allergy sufferers, the number is estimated to 40 to 50 million people affected by this. and it was, what, two seasons ago that the folks said that it is the worst that we have seen, and are we repeating that this season? >> well, it is going to be worse, because it is all concentrated. two seasons ago, you had the two waves. the first first and then the grass. but we will see everything at one time. >> and do you believe, because we talk so much about the climate change of course, and the impact that it is having, and i'm not asking you whether this is climate-change related, but what i am asking is if you believe that this is something that the allergy sufferers will have to be accustomed to every year, because we are always hearing that it is the worst season and then one-upped. >> well, people have to know how the manage their allergies. if you know you have a bad problem, a jd have the opportunity, close the windows, and turn on air conditioning. not everybody has that same opportunity. and you can't bring in the clothes that you have on back

former new york city mayor michael bloomberg is throwing his name and a big chunk of money behind his fight for gun control. he took the fight earlier, but only petered out in congress, and now he is committing $50 million to a new organization focused on grass roots outreach. he wants the new group the match the power in washington, and punish the politicians who fail to the enact stricter gun laws. >> what we have to do is to convince those in both of the parties running a that this is

what the american public wants and when they come to the primaries, they are going to have to be right on guns, and we will have to make sure that we reward those who are protecting the lives and make shure that those who are trying to keep people from being protected lose elections. >> and now as mentioned, bloomberg wants the new group the take another page out of the nra handbook by building a nationwide grass rootings effort. they plan to target specifically to women and mothers. and in an interview with "the new york times" bloomberg was asked if the image of an east coast billionaire could undercut the efforts. he said, i don't know what your perception is of our reputation, and mine, the name bloomberg around the country, but mine is people yelling out of of cabs "you're a rock star." and so certainly, this image is

based on the jeeg geography, anr perception of his work is where you fall on the guan laws, but it is real and not imagined. >> that is right. and i think that some of the places where boom bloomberg needs to go with the gun control push is not where people are hanging out of the cabs yelling at him, but small town thes and red states. what is interesting to me is how he has approached this is that we have covered the push for the background checks in congress extensively, and he was active in that period of time on television, and this is an acknowledgment that that push didn't work, and so what he needs to do is to launch the grass roots effort to what is similar to the national rifle association and what they have done for years. they are very focused on the state legislature, and state laws and to take the approach kind of from the ground-up as oppose theed to the tv airwaves on down, and in some ways, it mirror mirrors the group that is behind gabrielle giffords has been doing, and focusing on for example a push in georgia to the

write less free gun laws, and so we will be interesting to see if he can push this way. >> and it will be interesting to see him as the face of the movement, and we saw him on the "today" show, and he called the nra a paper tigerk and whether his money will match the efforts in this effort. >> well, he was not modest in describing his own efforts, and he has talked about the other pushes here in new york city like that of obesity, and he said that when he goes to h heaven, he is not stopping for interview, because he has earned his way in there already. and whether that is an attitude or approach the make a difference in arkansas where it might be a real issue remains to be seep. >> and the quote that he said, he said, i'm telling you, if there is a god, when i get to heaven, i'm not stopping to be interviewed, i am heading straight in. i have earned my place in

heaven, and not even close. >> wow. >> not even close. and wow. the nra has not had any comment on the new initiative of mayor michael bloomberg, but the next step that has polarized the country in so many ways, gun control. thank you, kasie. >> thank you sh, tamron. >> the australian group leading the search for the missing malaysian flight 370 was scouring the ocean floor, and it resurfaced after just six hours yet. we are joined by katy tur from per perth, australia. and it is one setback after another here, and are they headed back out with this? >> well, they are headed back out now. as far as we know, it is np scanning the ocean floor as we speak. hopefully through the 16-hour pass through the entire thing. it is supposed to hover 100 feet

above the ocean floor and scan in a lawnmower-type pattern to get across 15 square miles. the first area they are starting in is the one they have the most hopeful about and the best leads they are about, and the area that they hope to triangulate to where the black boxes are going to be. so far, not a lot of good luck, and the first one lasted six hours into 16-hour dive, because it reached a depth that was farther down than it was programmed to go. and farther down than three miles to go. and it shows you how unchartered the indian ocean is. in the second dive, they had technical issues and not sure what they mean by that, and the third one, they are hoping that it is going to come back, but so faer, the data has not turned up any good news, but the experts are saying that they are hopeful that they will find something, and that the problems are only trial and error and they will get the hang of it soon enough. >> katy tur, thank you so much. and up next, outrage after two

now, that's progressive. it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care

for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. today is first day of classes at franklin regional classrooms in pennsylvania one week a after a sophomore student according to police brutally stabbed 21 students and a security guard. four students are remaining in critical condition from the stabbings, and the police have yet to determine a motive for the actions of 16-year-old alex

hribal, and they don't know what caused him to take that action. he is held on bond at a juvenile detention center. joining me is debra herdley who is covering this story for the "pittsburgh tribune. " "". >> thank you, tomran. >> for some of the students to adjust to go back to school can, some of them were allowed earlier in the school as part of the counselling a and the ongoing therapy. is that the case? j yes. yesterday morning, they brought them back in different groups, and they had the halls lined with therapy dogs and koucounses on hand, and it was a way to bring them back gradually to show them that their school was once again what it had been and no longer the scene of horror. and the students we talked to who went, were really glad they had. they said it was comforting sort of experience and this morning

they went back and the glasses resumed as normal. >> and the young man police say committed this crime, there is no motive yet at least one they have revealed publicly here, but obviously, just at any school, i would imagine the students and the teachers are talking, and have you heard of a clearer picture of his relationship with the kids at school and even some of the administrators? and do we know more about him? >> not a whole lot. we know that for the most part the students he attacked were random. we have heard that there may have been some bullying involved, but there have been no real specifics. his attorney tells us that he has had 20 anonymous calls and text texts from students, parents who have told him, yes, there were incidents involving alex. another parent told us a screen shot of a taunt from facebook from the night before against this young man that somebody had

call called him rat face that had been handed over, but really no clear narrative coming out of how this developed. we just keep hearing that he was a nice quiet sort of young man. people were shocked. >> absolutely shocking. and security-wise, anything been changed about the way that the students are are able to come in and out of school daily? >> well, at this point, no. it was a secure building to begin with and buzzer entrance and when it happened armed police officer and two security guards on the premises. >> thank you, debra. and again, we wish the best for the students to return to what is hopefully a normal school year for the rest of the year. thank you very much. >> thank you. strong questions raised in the case of california involving two parolees accused of killing multiple women all while wearing gps ankle monitors.

the suspects were charged monday after police say they raped and killed at least four women in orange county last fall. police believe that there may be more victims. both men are registered sex offenders, and they have served time in priz sson for sex crime against a child under the age of 14. and even more alarming if you can believe, authorities say that in the months, the women were killed, both men routinely checked in with the police as required under parole, and the investigators say that the discovery of a woman's body in an na him eventually led them to the suspects and the mother of that 21-year-old victim is saying that the monitors should have prevented her daughter's death. and crime reporter michelle sigona joining us, and when i read the details, i could not believe it. what were the police or the people who were supposed to be monitoring these guys with the gps saying? >> well, at this point, that entire portion is still under investigation as you can imagine, trying to figure out exactly where the gaps happened

in the system. but you know what, in looking at this tamron, yes, it is horrible, and this is horrific and how could they be wearing the gps monitors and the murders happened, it is because of the monitors that investigators were able to figure out and pinpoint their locations and connect some of the dots, so it is really kind of a give and a take in this particular situation. >> and as i mentioned though, the mother of at least one of the victims feels like there need s needs to be more answers involved in this. and the california department of corrections says that unfortunately gps monitoring cannot always deter the crimes, and it is a tool that shows us where a monitored defender has been and place them at a scene of a crime. a monitor has no way to detect whether a crime is being committed. but i thought that when somebody was forced to wear a monitor for example, they are supposed to go to work, and they can leave outside of the home so many yards or feet and other than that, they are not allowed to do that and if that is the case,

then the monitor would show that they were not at the designated locations. >> right. they were not at the designated location locations, and i don't know, because i have some of the calls out right now the figure out just how much people within their area are under these particular gps monitoring and what are the standards and the stipulations for each and every one of them and who exactly does the monitoring and the prob e lem is that i think that in so many cases across the country is that you have so many of the suspects wearing the devices, and so few people, you know, with so many cutbacks and things like that being able to monitor these systems, and so many people and other things and, you know, unfortunate horrific situations like this slipping through the cracks, but because of the gps monitor iing, accordg to the investigators at that press conference they were able to take these girls, these victims' cell phone records and combine it with the gps records to at least be able to charge them with four of these alleged murders right now.

again, as you mentioned, they could possibly have more victims out there, and folks, if you really know anything, please give the anaheim police department a call. please contact the orange county district attorney's office, because they are connecting the dots and in figuring out who the victim victims are, and if there are anymore victims. >> lastly, i have to put this here, the mother of one of the victims found in anaheim, saying that california is responsible for them, the suspects, and evidently, their system does not work, and that is the mother of one of the story, and we will keep following it. thank you sh, michelle. and what was a deadly carriage ride is going to top the "newsnation" today. this morning, security cameras caught it with a horse scrambling, and sent suspects out of the way. they don't know what spooked the horse, but they believe it may have been a piece of broken

equipment, and some passersby calmed down the horse with carrots, and however, the driver of the carriage suffered a broken heel bone. and miley cyrus is recovering from a health care. she is being treated for a severe allergic reaction to antibiotic antibiotics and putting her on physical rest, and she announced that she is going to have to n cancel a concert in kansas city last night, and again tonight. she says that i won't be released today, and therefore i won't make it to st. louis. i'm so sorry, but some things are out of my control. couldn't we just say that she could not make it, and do we have to do the whole tweet with the tongue hanging out? that is because brandon loves miley and he wanted to give her the proper time. and still ahead, the minimum wage battle, the governor of oklahoma signed eded a law bann the cities and the counties from setting their own minimum wage standards and now a representative who calls that

there's a lot going on today. here's things we thought you should know. democratic senator mary landrieu has a new campaign ad that uses reenactments of statements she made at an energy committee hearing last year. here's that ad. >> i will not rest until this injustice is fixed. >> and she won. now is the new chairman of the energy committee. >> do you think there are fairy godmothers out there that waves a magic wand? >> she holds the most important

position in the senate. >> that's what we told the president. >> landrieu's campaign is defending the reenactment as necessary. mitt romney's son josh took to twitter for this. hey, senator reid, it's how you get your paycheck. josh romney was taking aim at senate majority leader harry reid's claim during the 2012 campaign that his father had been able to avoid paying any taxes for ten years. that's an oldie. and vice president joe biden's wife jill biden joined me on the "today" show this morning to promote joining forces initiative. to support military families. she also answered viewer questions. take a listen. >> was it his humor? what was it? >> oh, no, i loved his two sons,

our two sons. so i always say that i fell in love with the boys first. >> wonder if will. >> quite a personable woman there. those are the things we thought you should know. go to the website and check out the initiative. they're doing great things to help the men and women who return from service, continue their lives through community college, through any college of their choice, and a lot of that is paid for. so it's really awesome. time for a check of the time when raising the minimum wage is a hot campaign issue. oklahoma republican governor is blocking efforts to raise it in her state. governor mary fallon has signed a bill that bans cities and counties from setting their own minimum wage standard saying it creates a hardship for small business owners. joining me now is state representative eric proctor, who is strongly against that bill. sir, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> before i get your opinion on your view, the governor said most minimum wage workers are single people working at entry level jobs, and it would require

businesses to fire many of those part-time workers and create a hardship for small business owners and increase costs. your reaction to that statement released by the governor? >> one of oklahoma's favorite sons will rogers said it's not what you don't know gets you in trouble, it's what just ain't so. no americans should work a full-time job and live in poverty. what this governor here in oklahoma did, is just simply wrong. to silence the voice, you all sit down, shut up, we got this, don't worry about it, we're going to stifle your voices, it's wrong. it is immoral. >> the minimum wage would have increased to $10.10 an hour, which we know is a national debate led by the president. and his administration here. but it is intriguing that this idea that businesses would be hurt from this, or jobs would

somehow be stifled when we know if there's money coming in, those individuals aren't hoarding it and putting it under a mattress. you're likely spending that money and putting it back into the economy. >> that's right. and it's just a simple philosophy between oklahoma democratic legislatures and oklahoma republican legislators. the republicans believe the wealthier ones create the jobs in america. but if they were in my 9th grade economics class, they would know 70% of the american economy is the spending of the middle class. the cost of living is increased. the power of the dollar continues to diminish. but wages stagnate. to stand by and do absolutely nothing, when we have a chance to help our brothers and sisters that are struggling living in poverty but working a full-time job, is wrong. it is immoral. >> what is the next step here as you pointed out, you believe it is immoral here. what's the next step for your

state? >> we just continue taking the message to the people. and we have a provision in oklahoma that we can take it to a statewide referendum vote. and i think you'll see efforts to do that, to give every oklahoman the opportunity to vote, and to stand up for those let force nat than us. >> i greatly appreciate you joining us today. >> thank you for having me. god bless you. >> what does your gut tell you? should a state law prohibit counties and cities from setting their own minimum wage standards? go to news nation.msnbc.com. mike anderson was sentenced to serve 13 years in jail, but never served due to a clerical error. he's waiting for a decision from the state attorney general whether he must serve that sentence. 31% of you said he should do the time. i'm tamron hall. tomorrow "news nation," actress
