nel to test and test again. believe we're getting to anywhere getting to that emotional aspect of the evening. it is repetition. >> well, i don't think it is a repetition. i would have stopped mr. nel if i thought it was a repetition. >> mr. pistorius, i'm going to argue that you got emotional because you got your defenses mixed up. that's the reason you just got emotional, nothing else. what do you want to say to that? >> that's not true my lady. >> mr. roux is correct on one occasion i said you wanted to shoot reeva. you didn't burst into tears. you said no. why emotional today? >> i don't know my lady. >> i do. mr. pistorius, i indicated to you how you got your defenses mixed up. that caused the emotion. nothing else. >> i don't understand the difference in defenses. that's not the reason. >> that's why you cried. you don't understand the implications. that's why you got emotional. we'll carry on. now i have to start. for me to take it further, i'll start again. now mr. pistorius, before we got to the noise i

because of what gerrie nel had put to him. and it really was the most dramatic moments of this day so far. because the court had to adjourn. oscar pistorius was let out of the courtroom. his sobs, his howls were heard along the corridor by journalists there. a recomposed oscar pistorius coming back in to resume his evidence a few minutes later. but now under, again, fierce cross-examination from gerrie nel. in a slightly less aggressive style but a very forensic style. very, very -- picking detail after detail. trying to get oscar pistorius to admit to a discrepancy between what he told the court about what had happened that night in an earlier statement and what he is saying now in this, his evidence given to his murder trial for the first time in person verbally in front of the court and the judge. so he was trying to allege that oscar pistorius did go on to the balcony or did not go on to the balcony in a different form of events to the events that oscar pistorius had talked about previously. let's just talk about the very

there have been many according to gerrie nel. barry roux on one particular problem gerrie nel said oscar pistorius had with evidence that yesterday he was changing defense. he said in one sentence he shot reeva steenkamp because he thought she was an intruder and another sentence it had been an accident. today barry roux asked pistorius to explain what he meant when he said it was an accident. >> could you explain to the court if you talk about accident, what is it you mean by that? >> i mean the situation. the situation as a whole. it wasn't meant to be. >> now, when you were standing with your firearm pointing to the toilet door, what emotions did you experiment? >> i was terrified. i feared for my life. scared, thinking about what could happen to me and reeva. i was extremely fearful, overcome with sense of terror and vulnerability. >> one of the things oscar said during his time on the stand, he read out a valentine's card from reeva steenkamp waiting for him the morning after the night she died. it said in it she decided it

nel? >> mr. pistorius, my lady, i received a request, and that's why i have my cell phone in my hand. from mrs. steenkamp that after the adjournment yesterday, she informed me through her advocate that mr. pistorius did in fact request a meeting with the steenkamp family prior to the trial, but they were not ready for such a meeting. i'm putting that in the record. >> thank you very much. so it's confirmation of what mr. pistorius -- >> said that yesterday, and mrs. steenkamp felt that it was important that it be put in the record. i didn't know about that before yesterday. >> thank you for letting us know. >> you've also heard that, i'm sure, mr. pistorius. >> i have, my lady. >> mr. pistorius, because i went back there, there's one other aspect that i have to deal with. and in your evidence in chief, you indicated how important your religion is to you, an important -- how important that your christianity is to you. can i confirm that? >> that's correct, my lady. >> also said that you've always

by nel?> i think yesterday was a turning point for pistorius in that respect. all the way up until the lunch break and from when cross-examination had started, you saw pistorius being very intimidated by nel's aggression, managing to get unsettled, speaking around himself in circles, and being quite ruffled. for some reason after lunch, he had managed to compose himself. when he came back after the lunch break, it was the most composed we've seen him in the trial. because of that composure, he was -- he fared far better at essentially batting back aggression and not allowing him to veer off the course of the narrative he's telling. if he can go into court with that kind of demanner today, it will put i mean -- demeanor today, tell bring a response to the questions that nel is putting to him. >> you mentioned i clear and coherent version of events. that is what pistorius must put out and maintain during during the trial. do you feel he's provided the prosecution with any opening so far since h

nel, as he is essentially opening the door for pistorius to do that.far more success yesterday. >> and mr. nel saying you fired at reeva, you shot and killed at reeva. he says, no, i did not fire at reeva. i fired into the bathroom at what i thought were intruders. they are deadlocked at that different version of events. >> reporter: yes, and this has been the same gridlock, essentially, that we've seen right back from bail, because, of course, very unusually for an accused person, mr. pistorius actually gave an enormous amount of detail with regards to his version of events as early on as bail, and that has meant that he has had more pressure to remain consistent with that version, but equally from mr. nel's perspective, it probably accounts for some of the level of detail in his cross examination, because, of course, mr. nel has been able to prepare for that cross examination as far back as the bail hearing. >> fascinating. and the testimony continues as we speak. kelly phelps. thank you, kelly, in pretoria. >>> breaking news overnight. severe storms

nel put it to me. he asked i said i switched the alarm before i left the room. >> but can we accept you haven't made this mistake because you're tired? >> i can accept that. >> no, can we accept that? >> yes, my lady. >> reporter: the court adjourned for the day. we heard all about the events of that night, this trial. what was in oscar's mind when he fired four shots that killed steenkamp. having went round and round this issue, what was he thinking? why did he go into the bathroom with his firearm? why did he fire through the toilet door? nel asking again and again, why didn't he do certain things, ask reeva she was there? make sure he was so worried about the intruder he thought. why didn't he make sure where she was before taking dramatic action. >> on the 14th i was sure of what i heard. i didn't want to converse more than i had to. i said to ree va get down and phone the police. >> we know you never waited for response. >> that's correct. >> you never checked the if she's okay. >> i never did my

then he sinkholed gerry nel. here's a look back at the -- scolded gerry nel. here's a look at the testimony. >> the phrase "i love you" was twice in her taps. both times, highway is wrote that to her mother -- she wrote that to her mother, never to you, and you never to her. am i right? >> that's correct, my lady. i never got the opportunity to tell reeva that i loved her. >> but on the 14th of february, that's where there were arguments, and those arguments were all about you, what's important to you. >> there weren't arguments that turned into fights or anything like that, but we did have arguments, my lady. >> you never wanted to shoot the intruders coming out of the door. >> that's correct, my lady. >> we knew that reeva was in there. >> that is correct, my lady. >> there was no reason to shoot, objectively, after the fact, as we stand here today, you had no reason to shoot. >> that's correct, my lady. >> why but fire? >> because i heard a noise coming from inside the toilet that i interpreted at that split moment as somebody coming out to attack me, my la

nel.ve seen him veer from all different states throughout this very long, over a week that he's been on the stand. >> and it continues. kelly phelps for us in pretoria, thanks. >>> six minutes to the top of the hour. with diabetes, it's tough to keep life balanced. i don't always have time to eat like i should. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

this time prosecutor gerrie nel had none of it. he said you're becoming emotional again and batted it away as he did not believe for one sense pistorius was genuinely upset. of course the prosecution assertion is that oscar pistorius fire had the gun in a fit of rage during an argument with steenkamp. this changing gerrie nel accuses pistorius of, his defense has become evidence. pistorius seemed confused at some point saying he fired the gun involuntarily. at the same time saying he fired it because he thought there was an intruder. here's exchange between the two. >> the noise you heard that night. it's important. >> it was a significant noise i heard that night my ladlady. >> because there's not a single word of that door closing, shooting, in your bail at all. i understand that's the case my lady. >> but why? >> i'm not sure. >> it can't be. it's such an important, significant noise. it's not in your bail. >> i mentioned it to my legal team my lady. i don't know why it's not in my bail statement my lady. >> that's not all. it's

nel can make that comment. >> i'm using your words.softer than brains. >> that's a comment i made after i shot the watermelon, milady. i didn't in any way try to compare it to shooting a person in the hair. a fictional -- >> the brains you referred to was brains of -- >> milady, as i said earlier, the context was made in a zombie. >> i thought you would say that. therefore i'm going to read the whole thing once again. it's a lot softer than brains but it's like a zombie stopper. it's like a zombie stopper. it's not it is a zombie stopper. a zombie's brains. you're referring to something else. do you want to respond to that? >> no, milady. >> you don't have to. now, mr. pistorius, i just want to know. in the days that you were sitting there, is that what you can remember? or is that the reconstruction? >> it's what i remember, milady. >> i want to be -- is it not a reconstruction of everything you heard and you read, and that's why you gave the evidence? >> there were many topics that we've spoken about. there was my upbringing. there w

i was there. >> reporter: but nel's strategy was to mock all of the defendant's claims. >> you stated in your evidence -- >> reporter: right up to the critical claim he never confirmed where reeva was when he opened fire because he was certain it was an intruder behind the bathroom door. >> she was talking to you. she was standing right in front of the door talking to you when you shot her. >> what the prosecutor is trying to do is trip him up on the details by going moment by moment over the incident and asking tough questions trying to rattle him. >> reporter: prosecutor nel several times and ways, that's not true, that can't be true or you're lying. at one point, the judge called him on his language. >> you done calling a liar, not while he's in the witness box. >> reporter: still a final challenge to a final pistorius claim that the reason steenkamp stayed quiet while locked in the bathroom was she was afraid of an intruder, too. >> she wasn't scared of anything, except you. she wasn't scared of an intruder. >> reporter: outside court friday, a weary pistorius was handed a flower

nel suggested that he was faking it, and the judge actually reprimanded nel and said, look, he clearly is emotional. but not too much should be read into this, the fact that the judge finds it authentic or sincere, because she is very well schooled in the law, and she will know better than anyone that someone being genuinely traumatized in the aftermath of a crime tells the court absolutely nothing about what their frame of mind was when they were actually committing the crime itself. and for the purposes of this criminal trial, the only part of his mental state that is at all pertinent is his mental state when that gun was being fired, not afterwards. >> kelly phelps outside of the courthouse there in pretoria. kelly, thank you. >>> breaking news overnight. tornadoes, thunderstorms, hail tearing through parts of the country. indra petersons tracking all these dangerous storms for us. we're going to have a full report from her. look at those pictures! right after the break. your education is built to help move your career forward. here's how: we work with leading employers to learn wha

this is exactly what you did to steenkamp, nel said, as he forced pistorius to look at a photo of his girlfriend's shattered skull. take responsibility for what you have done, mr. pistorius. >> i have taken responsibility but i will not look at a picture about what i saw and felt that night. as my fingers touched her head, i remember. i don't have to look at a picture. i was there. >> reporter: pistorius repeated he broke down and wept under his questions, but nel was unmoved, accusing the star athlete of lying. >> my life is on the line. of course i think of every single word i say when i'm sitting here. >> reeva does not have a life anymore. reeva is not alive any more because of what you have done so please, listen to the questions and give us the truth. >> reporter: reeva's mother june steenkamp sat stoically throughout forewarned by the prosecution that they intended showing gristley photos of her daughter. she bowed her head. pistorius can expect an even tougher day tomorrow. prosecution sources tell us they will continue to confront him with photos of a body of his girlfriend.

nel didn't pull any punches.'s go to karenle following the case for us. >> reporter: george, well the trial has broken for lunch and adjourned for an hour or so. just before lunch, nel cross examining pistorius about the actual events that led to the death of reeva steenkamp, what was in his mind when pulling the trigger facing the toilet door behind which he shot her dead. around the womorning he's been weaving around their relationship, oscar's character looking at text messages between the couple. he accused oscar of caring only about himself. >> now i have it available. i say that your life was just about you, what's important to oscar. oscar shouldn't get into trouble. this shouldn't get to the media. you were very concerned. >> i was concerned for both of our futures my lady. >> now, another part of the picture nel was trying to paint was oscar as an irresponsible person. didn't adhere to normal rules when handling guns and wouldn't take the blame for one incident in particular, a separate charge of a firea

and you can see this by the face that nel kept him on the stand for two days.izes the importance of devaluating that evidence. we've seen him put evidence at the sound of the cricket bat and could that have been the cricket bat mistaken by the gunshots by the ear witnesses which would mean that they, in fact, heard pistorius screaming and not steenkamp. and also in terms of ballistics. dixon suggesting that the bullets were fired in quick succession, supporting pistorius' version of events, rather than the state saying he shot slowly and, therefore, intended to kill. core parts of the case being called into question. >> again, robyn curnow speaking with cnn legal analyst kelly phelps. >>> when we come back, the world loses a literary giant. we'll look at the beautiful writing of gabriel garcia marquez and how hue impacted readers world. . >>> okay. here's one for you -- the u.s. city of portland, oregon, isn't taking any chances with its water supply. the city is flushing 38 million gallons of drinking water after surveillance video showed a teenager relieving

nel? >> mr.torius, there are two things that i just want to go back to before we proceed from where we ended yesterday, and that is in your version, mr. poift, the deceased must have opened the bathroom window. >> that's correct, my lady. that is before or after she'd been to the toilet? >> before, my lady. >> in your version, she opened the door before she went to dish. >> -- to -- >> no, my lady. >> when did she open the window? >> she opened the window before she went to the toilet, my lady. >> that's it. and i'm not going to go step by step, just in summary. you heard the noise, you armed yourself, you walked, and when you -- and in the passage you screamed. that's just a summary. >> that's correct, my lady. >> so mr. pistorius, in your version, she must have had time to void her bladder. >> that's correct, my lady. >> and get dressed? >> i don't follow the question, my lady -- >> she -- when you shot her -- >> she was dressed when she went to the bathroom. when she fell asleep she was dresse

so, we've seen the most determined, predantic, aggressive cross examination from nel, but equally forseen pistorius, perhaps the most composed he's been so far and unwilling to get led down certainly paths of concession that would be quite crucial points to concede on. so, they have just been essentially butting heads. the judge has intervened on one occasion, where she felt that some of the comments from nel were starting to veer towards becoming a bit unfair, and she sort of put it back on track again. but there's no doubt that nel will not let up in this relentless line of questioning, because getting these confessions from pistorius is part of the core of his case. >> how long do you think the judge will let this go on? as you said, she kind of pulled him back from some of the more aggressive questions. >> reporter: she will certainly give him quite a long line to work with. she will let him go on for as long as she feels that there is genuine purpose in helping to establish a true version of events for the court. where she is likely to intervene is, first of all, if she feels tha

balance -- and then trying to discredit him. >> it will show that you are lying. >> reporter: then nel played this video -- that's pistorius blasting at watermelons. you can hear him, laughing. and saying, "it's softer than brains." >> it's a lot softer than brains. nel insisting pistorius's fatal shooting of his girlfriend, the model, reeva steenkamp had the same effect. >> take responsibility for what you've done, mr. pistorius. >> reporter: -- demanding pistorius look at forensic photos of reeva. >> i don't have to look at a picture. i was there. >> reporter: the gallery gasping, steenkamp's family unable to look. it was clear, his big line of attack today, the inconsistencies in pistorius's account of what happened. >> listen to the questions and give us the truth. >> reporter: pistorius, who once said killing reeva was the accident -- now calling his gun going off the accident. >> let's just get one thing out of the way. did your gun go off accidentally? yes or no? >> reporter: now, pistorius, was grilled mercilessly today on this witness stand, but what the prosecution did not ge

and they came, they got nels and they took nels a long with these other folks to alcatraz. this is a little present about a mile north of the hanoi hilton. at 13 cells, and i'm not sure why they left it empty. i think they probably forgot to include a couple of these guys in there. and they lived on these 11 guys lived for two years in nine by four-foot cells. so think about this. this is your world for 23 hours and 50 minutes a day. so nine feet is about -- that. this is about four feet. this is where those guys lived for two years. there were no windows. they would walk in this space. if they had enough energy, they didn't ge get very much foods on they couldn't even do push-ups or situps, or they were so banged up, so injured that they could neither. this was their world. all they had. they couldn't see out of it. it was cold in the winter and it was like a furnace in the summertime. they had nothing to do. so when i was writing this book i thought that the worst part about being a pow might be the torture. and when i told the guys writing this book, commander george cok

gerrie nel, karin did not let up until the end. >> reporter: he didn't. he finished cross-examination of oscar pistorius with a very stark summary of how he, the state, believes the event went that night. oscar pistorius must be very relieved. five days of cross-examination, seventh day on the witness stand. now once again i've seen him sitting in the dark as other witnesses now are heard from. at times he had his eyes closed. he must be very relieved. let's hear how gerrie nel ended cross-examination hammering out points he believed happened one by one. >> johnson, berger and both heard reeva's screams not yours. >> i don't agree. >> they heard when she escaped from you. you shot four shots through the door knowing you're standing behind the door? >> that's incorrect my lady. >> you knew that she was talking to you? >> that's incorrect my lady. >> she locked herself into the toilet. you armed yourself for the sole purpose of shooting and killing her. >> that's not true. >> that's what you did. >> afterwards indeed you were overcome by what you've done. t

ape >> well, that was gerrie nel, the lead prosecutor in the oscar pistorius murder trial. attacking the details he offered to describe the night he shot and killed his girlfriend reevaa steenkamp. he said it was a mistake, he thought there was an intruder.v the prosecution says they have an argument and he knew what he was doing. >> judge alex, a retired florida circuit court judge. good to see you. u. good to see you. >> we don't get to see like the entire courtroom and the on't defendant refers to my lady, because this is the way you do it in the courtrooms because he's's responding to the judge a woman. there has been criticism for going after him too hard. what do you think? >> no, i think the prosecutor is doing the right thing.ve i mean, if this were a courtrooe in the united states he might d have a problem with that because in the u.s., you have a jury anv then you have to deal with the question of the perception on in the jury.ng the judge isn't going to be treating the evidence the same way as the jury, and let's face it, the prosecutor's goal here is to rattle p

nel must make that clear. we're not talking about the same time my lady. >> you also referring to the bail application? >> absolutely. so we're talking about different times. just to make clear. >> my lady, it cannot be -- i'll refer to the bail application. that's one of the embarrassing things when you need the bail application, it's not here. >> well it might be good idea to count it from the record so that we know exactly what you're talking about. >> i'll ask. the way i remember are it, there was no woman screaming that night. that was put in the bail application. i'll mark it on mine. i'll carry on with something although -- i'll carry on with this. when i get back and have the record i will do that. mr. pistorius, now you see, i've heard your evidence of how it affected you and how you felt. you'll agree with me that for reeva being in that small cubicle when shots were fired through the door. >> i agree my lady. >> what happened to her that night was unthinkable. i've never heard you even say anything

i suspect that's what gerrie nel will be trying to get at.e'll be essentially try to be unnerved and so some aggression that they have claimed within oscar pistorius. >> it's fascinating to see, kelly, because the emotion can be controlled with his own attorney doing the questioning. kelly phelps in pretoria. thanks, kelly. >>> also breaking news in the search for missing malaysia flight 370. crews detected new signals in the indian ocean. new audio signals that could be from the black boxes. now, account wreckage be found before the batteries run out? and could we finally learn why this plane vanished midair without a trace? investigators have a very good hope that they're narrowing in on this jet. we're live next. he conversation. she didn't tell him that her college expenses were going up. or that she maxed out her card during spring break. when the satellite provider checked his credit, he found out his daughter didn't pay her bills. but he's not worried. now he checks his credit report and score at experian.com, allowing him to keep trac

the pressure from nel was never-ending. >> mr. pistorius, you now, you now have to give a lot of answers and you know why, mr. pistorius? it is because you know exactly, you fired at reeva. the other versions of yours can not work. >> not true. >> you did. why are you getting emotional now? >> i did not fire at reeva. >> well, the witness emotional, maybe take an adjournment again. >> reporter: pistorius forced adjournment twice by break down. nel was asking "the blade runner" was using his emotional state as a escape. prosecutor said pistorius was he said disproving self-defense and suggesting voluntary action. nel accused of pistorius hearing steenkamp fall on the magazine rack on the toilet after the first shot which made him change his aim to nor effectively hit her on the next three. and asked what to many is a big question. why if he thought it was an intruder, did he only four shots jenna? jenna: real quick here, paul, has the prosecutor presented any evidence? i know he has a lot of theories what oscar pistorius has done o

rules of evidence in south africa, had pistorius not raised evidence of his good character, gerrie nel would never have been allowed to raise any evidence of his bad character. so, while it is very compelling, it's also somewhat surprising that quite so much time and so much of his case in cross examination is being spent on a portion of evidence that he may never have been allowed to raise in the first place. >> how is the demeanor of oscar pistorius now? we know just a couple days ago, the judge adjourned for the day very early, at 2:00 in the afternoon your time, because he was having such a hard time on the witness stand. how is he holding up under this aggressive cross examination? >> reporter: today he's holding the up quite well. he's managed to maintain his composure. you can hear the emotion in his voice. his voice quivers and shakes, but on the whole, he's managing to get out clear and coherent answers. he didn't fair as well yesterday, a day, obviously, the prosecutors opened with very shocking pictures of reeva steenkamp's head wound, and that completely unsettled him. so,

that are pressure is on from nel.ou can see there it is relentless pressure trying to test oscar pistorius on what he said and oscar pistorius remaining measured in all replies and even challenging the chief prosecutor. back to the coverage. >> at page 1. before i knew it, i fired shots at door. my ears were ringing. >> that's correct my lady. >> is that a reconstruction? >> it's taking count into the fact. there were four shots. i don't remember specifically firing four shots. i remember firing in quick succession. i did fire them. when describing the manner, i fired in quick succession. do i remember firing four shots? no, i don't. >> at the door? >> correct at the door my lady. >> do you remember firing at door? >> yes, i remember firing at door. >> yesterday when we ended you said you don't, you can't remember. >> that's incorrect. yesterday when put to me if i fired at door, if i remember firing at door, i said yes, i remember firing at door. at the time i fired the pistol was fired at the door. when i heard the

. >> reporter: chief prosecutor gerrie nel tore into oscar pistorius again, challenging his story that he had mistaken reeva steenkamp for a burglar. his fate will be determined by this judge, referred to as my lady, as is south african custom. he said he found it inconceivable if pistorius feared an intruder he would have checked that steenkamp was safe before he reached for his gun. >> did she scream at all while you shot her four times? >> are you sure, mr. pistorius, that reeva did not scream after the first shot? >> reporter: there was a long pause as pistorius was unable to go on, and he struggled to find answers under nel's fierce questioning. >> after you fired the first shot, did she scream? >> no, my lady. >> would you have heard her? >> i don't think i would have heard her after a gunshot that went off, my lady, my ears were ringing. >> reporter: the strain showed on pistorius' face. he contradicted himself and then apologized for the mistakes, saying he was tired. as he left court, the usual crowd was waiting. one woman gave him flowers, a reminder of what life used to be l

once nel attacked he didn't let go. after dixon didn't use any instruments as decibel loudness meter on the defense sound tests. to find out how dark it was in "the blade runner" bedroom, dixon frankly astonished the court instruments he used were his eyes. >> all you did was you hit the cricket bat, the door with the bat? >> that is so, my lady. >> and with your visibility in the dark, you just used your own eyes? >> i used my eyes, my lady. >> reporter: nel piled it on regarding tests where a gun was fired saying dixon wasn't there for the test, the court documenter know where or how the tests was done, what recording was used but you say it was enough. nel found out music producer rather than a ballistics expert was used to record the gunshots and the defense didn't use same black talon as pistorius did conducting tests. oscar pistorius looked ill. he turned to me and his pace e face was bright red. i noticed a unpleasant smell and some say he was vomiting, jenna. jenna: paul, where is the defense in their presentati

the official evidence and testimony that's enter ad as a matter of the court record, and that's why nelt of time trying to get pistorius to speak around these crucial moments so that he can place on that record testimony that he can then argue in his closing argument, suggest that the only reasonable inference is that it is so improbable that he, therefore, must be lying and must be guilty. and that's why we can see both pistorius and nel sort of digging their heels in the sand and very confidently asserting their various stances on that, because they both know just how much is at stake revolving around this part of cross examination. >> wasn't suggesting that the judge would make the decision based on common sense, but this argument by the prosecutor is intending to make pistorius seem not believable, that his explanation for what happened is implausible. what's the best-case scenario, i suppose, for the prosecutor at this point, assuming that pistorius doesn't change his story or dramatically falter on the stand? and i don't think he's shown that he will. what's the best-case scenario

chief prosecutor nel talked about the moments pistorius found his girlfriend slumped in the bathroom. nel could not understand why pistorius screaming earlier was suddenly quiet. >> you shot four shots through that door knowing you're standing behind the door. >> that's incorrect my lady. >> that you knew that she was talking to you. >> that's incorrect my lady. >> she was locked into the bathroom and you armed yourself with a sole purpose of shooting and killing her. >> nel spelled out the prosecution case telling the court pistorius shot his girlfriend after they had an argument. >> now you see her. now it's the opportunity for you to scream reeva, reeva, are you fine? why would you not scream then? >> i don't understand that question. >> you've now seen she's in there. the first time you know she's in the toilet am i right? >> that's correct. >> why did you not scream then? >> i don't know what the purpose would be of screaming. i was overcome with sadness and crying. >> after five days of salvaging, the end of the cross-examination, pistorius advocate barry roux redirected questio

>> reporter: well, it's a natural continuation of the strategy that nel started yesterday, and we know that this is always going to be his main strategy in cross examination, which is to set up a number of inconsistencies within pistorius's version of events or otherwise improbabilities in terms of the claims that pistorius is making, in order to set up the foundation for the judge to be able to determine at the end of this trial that there is such a track record of lies and inconsistencies that the only reasonable deduction that the judge can make is that he would only lie so much if he were guilty. so, that's the strategy he's employing. and in order to do that, he needs to take quite a predantic approach and put a number of small details on the record so he can bolt towards this track record. >> this idea that oscar pistorius said he was very frightened of crime, that he was frightened of something happening. the prosecutor, how's he doing in sort of poking holes in that? >> reporter: well, it's too early to assess how he's doing. we can certainly see what he's trying to do. so, he'

multiple surveillance cameras and the nel network quickly find the suspect and transmit video data. >> translator: there is a huge amount of images from security cameras. we want to use that data to develop technologies for locating people. >> reporter: however, there is growing concern about such technological innovations. a communications institute planned to taste facial recognition cameras at a major train station in osaka but the project was post pointed due to strong objection from commuters. a major electronics manufacturer is developing a system that blurs people's faces and video images in realtime. the technology is an effort to protect privacy and prevent complaints. >> translator: no one is sure what is permissible under current laws. i hope the government will introduce legislation enabling further utilization of data. >> reporter: the government is set to revise the personal information protection law. the abe administration wants to boost the economy by utilizing information from surveillance cameras and other devices while protecting privacy. >> translator: you may fee

nel, my lady. >> reporter: a prosecutor ready for a fight, the defendant unwilling to back down. >> yout willing to concede anything. >> reporter: a judge pushing to keep order. >> you possibly think this is entertainment. it is not. so please restrain yourselves. >> reporter: it was a wide-ranging second day of cross-examination in the oscar pistorius murder trial. one in which the prosecution touched on all charges against the olympian, and finally revealed its narrative of what it believes happened on valentine's morning. after a push from the defense lawyer -- >> when you got up, you had an argument, that's why she ran away screaming. >> reporter: finally an objection forced the state to give their version of the events. they said pistorius and steenkamp had an argument, and as he chased her into the bathroom, see it screamed -- s screamed in terror. >> reporter: earlier, nel loud a text message dispute between the olympian and his girlfriend. pistorius said some of her emergencies messages were untrue. >> reporter: questioned about why she wrote "i'm scared of you sometimes and how

. >> reporter: gerrie nel putting the state's case front and center.case started today. they elicited testimony striking at the heart of the charges about negligence and intention. and even cast doubt on the boundaries of his defense casting doubt on his version of events. >> reporter: the differences between the two versions of events -- >> argument would be that that's better on the duvet where you carried the deceased past that area. what are you saying about that? >> i don't understand that, my lady. >> but on your version, it can't be. >> reporter: at times the testimony difficult to hear. >> you fired at reeva. you fired at her, you did. why are you getting emotional now? >> i did not fire at reeva. >> reporter: nel forcing pistorius to continuously recount the night he shot and killed his girlfriend who he allegedly thought was a burglar. >> i screamed, i said, get the [ bleep ] out of my house, get the -- out of my house! >> reporter: the prosecutor further detailing their narrative of that fateful night concluding steenkamp's jeans found on th

what he's trying to do is build on the narrative that he's been implying throughout the trial, that nel has been implying throughout the trial, that oscar pistorius is a hot-headed and self-obsessed, violent temperament who was prone, who had a likelihood towards behavior that would lead to the murder of his girlfriend. so, it's an inference that he's essentially setting up for the judge to draw. but it's therefore very important to remember the legal rules around evidence in south africa, because the judge will be close in that. and character evidence in south africa only holds very limited weight. so, while this evidence is, of course, very compelling, from a legal perspective, it only has limited impact in terms of what the judge can make of it. >> of course, the only person who knows now what happened in there and what state of mind he was in was oscar pistorius. so, knowing how and why he made these decisions will be key. i've been very interested about these text messages and the way the prosecution's asking these questions, essentially asking oscar pistorius, what did reeva steen

. >> reporter: prosecutor gerrie nel, known as the pit bull here, smelling blood. attacking. >> say, yes. i shot and killed reeva steenkamp. >> i did, my lady. >> reporter: shooting his girlfriend on valentine's day last year. earlier, describing the horror of finding her there. >> and then i just sat there and waited for the ambulance to arrive. and -- i had my fingers in her mouth to help her try breathe. >> reporter: but she would die in his arms. >> reeva had already died whilst i was holding her. before the ambulance arrived. so, i knew there was nothing that they could do for her. >> reporter: and just minutes earlier, we heard pistorius announce for the first time. >> i did not intent to kill riva my lady or anybody else. >> reporter: despite firing four exploding bullets into a tiny bathroom cubical, at a person he said he thought was an intruder. coming up, we'll show you the video and the questions that triggered a shouting match in court. a moment so raw, that it drew an outburst from pistorius. images so graphic, that the judge had to put an end to it.

but gerry nel, the man they call the bull terrier, went further. revealing contradictions in his story. perhaps the most devastating, what he said he did when he first thought he heard an intruder. >> i told her to get down and call the police. >> reporter: a clear contradiction. even the facts revealed the food in her stomach. pistorius claimed they had a quiet dinner and went to bed. but a pathologist testified she still had food in her stomach indicating they may have gone to bed hours later than he says. >> do you have an explanation for the stomach content of the deceased? >> i don't, my lady. >> reporter: he offered an emotional seven days on the stand. now that's over. it's up to his defense lawyers to convince the judge and her two assistants that he did not kill reeva steenkamp. legal experts say with the prosecution destroying his credibility, his defense team has a tough road ahead. abc news, south africa. >> and the judge will decide pistorius' guilt or innocence. it is expected to take months. >>> up next, a warning about this video. w

gerrie nel relentlessly chipped away at pistorius' credibility last week and his changing version ofvents surround the death of reeva steenkamp. now, his testimony seemed to be so damaging, one analyst called pistorius a defense nightmare witness. >>> now, to chile where fire crews say some parts of a deadly wildfire that were declared contained had sparked back to life. that happened last night. that wildfire has already killed around a dozen people and destroyed 2,000 homes. the flames have forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate. firefighters had to let some neighborhoods burn because of lack of running water. >>> investigators in california are still interviewing students about last week's fiery bus crash, the one that killed ten people. they say the bus screeched to a stop, but there were no skid marks from the fedex truck that slammed into it. some of the people killed were not wearing seat belts and were ejected from that bus. they are still looking into reports that the truck was already on fire before crossing the median, but investigators have not yet found any evidence

the practicality is the internet does not have sufficient bandwidth on a consumer level nels,ump all the chan because each channel is give or take 19.2 megabits per second times any number of channels, on a single household. benefit,he people's there is no broadcast capability in the internet. that is not how the internet is designed, so you have to move the ability to tune away from the house and into the cloud. that allows the consumer to get a stream down to the household. when you move the tuning ability from the house and put it in the cloud, you essentially put an antenna in the cloud. you put a loop at the end. it actually simplifies it tremendously because you do not have to do math for permits or towers or any of those kinds of things. >that hopefully gives people a picture of why the technology was architected that way. either you accept the make -- the migration to the internet is inevitable, and this is the only rational architecture that exists, and if you do not accept the migration to the internet, the cable architecture makes sense. the spectrum is such a precious res

. >> reporter: it was oscar pistorius' moment of truth but truth was not what lead prosecutor gerry nel thought he was getting. >> you're not telling the truth. >> he has admitted to killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp in the bathroom of his home last year, now saying his gun accidentally discharged. >> accidentally your fingers pulled the trigger? >> i started shooting at that point. >> at the intruders? >> at the door. >> so it wasn't accidentally? >> i'm getting confused with accidentally or not accidentally. >> reporter: this is where the prosecutor stands, but the cameras don't show you how close he is to oscar pistorius on the witness stand. that proximity is what creates so much tension in the courtroom. that intensified. >> you never to hour. there was no question pistorius' love for steenkamp. the strategy, if the prosecution can show he's untruthful, they hope the judge won't believe the killing was an accident. it's working say court watchers. what did the prosecutor do to his credibility? >> it's gone. it's totally shattered in my opinion. >> reporter: the story is just
