we are getting new information on this and we will have details for you. >> we have reports of the buildings that were damaged from the previous quake have collapsed now. it is relatively shallow. we will follow this for you this morning. other news nfl bringing down the hammer on the new england patriots quarterback tom brady usssuspending him four games. the patriots fined $1 million and giving up a draft pick. the agent for tom brady calls the discipline ridiculous. says there was quote no fairness in the investigation. he promises to appeal. team owner robert kraft is blasting the league. saying brady has the team's unwaivering support. andy scholes has more for us.

four games. >> christine, this is big time. the nfl is hitting brady and the patriots because they must protect the integrity of the game. the executive vice president troy vincent said by not cooperating with the investigation, brady's actions were considered conduct detrimental to the league. his agent tom yee said the discipline is ridiculous and has no basis. the nfl lacks standards with the handling of footballs before the games. vincent's letter to the patriots mentioned the team's prior record including the spygate scandal as a factor. the patriots are the only franchise since 1980 to be stripped of a first round pick. it happened to them twice.

the nfl doubling the fine this time and hitting tom brady harder than they did bill belichick. robert kraft released a statement in regards to the punishment. he said the punishment exceeded any reasonable expectation. it was circumstantial. tom brady has our unconditional support. reaction to the brady suspension got mixed reaction. patriots running back was blunt tweeted this is absolutely ridiculous. shaking my head. #patsnation. patrick peterson said well done, nfl, #deflategate. and steve weatherford. tom brady suspended four games. ridiculous. comparing it to steroid use.

he will miss the first four games of the season. the fifth game for the patriots is against the indianapolis colts. >> andy scholes, thanks for that this morning. >> developing this morning, police in lake mary florida are expected to release a report that details the shooting of george zimmerman. someone he had been in an ongoing dispute with pulled up along him in traffic and took a shot. he was hit in the face by flying glass. the attorney for the shooter matt apperson says his clint shot as zimmerman because zimmerman shot at him. >> this is good old fashioned self defense. one in reasonable fear of his life or bodily harm they have a right as every state in the country allows to protect themselves if they are

threatened. >> this fellow was taunting and yelling at him calling him names. you going to shoot me now kind of thing. i don't know where that came from. when george recognized him and realized who he was and what he was saying he rolled his window up and get away. not to provoke it. the fellow followed him around the u-turn and pulled up next to him and shot him. could have killed him. easily. >> zimmerman's lawyer denies his client client waved a gun. the head of the nsa says the web sites is a concern as a weapon. using the web to recruit lone wolf attackers in the united states. >> this concern about

individuals within the united states increasingly resonated, if you will with the ideology of isul and acting violently is clearly of great concern. it is something that concerns us. it is a trend that things would suggest is increasing not decreasing. >> rogers told the forum on monday is balancing america's need for secure with respect for privacy. u.s. officials are knocking down the reports that isis is seriously injured and out of commission. for weeks, reports that al bagdadi had been hit by a u.s. air strike suffer spinal damage. now two u.s. officials tell cnn there is no reason to believe that is true. following the story for us is correspondent frederik pleitgen. >> reporter: john certainly from the very beginning was difficult to corroborate. abu bakr al bagdadi is the isis

leader who has been secretive. he has been seen in public once in a mosque in mosul after the islamic state of iraq and syria took over the area in july of last year. that was the only time he has ever been seen in public. now, you have the reports that surfaced in "the daily beast" yesterday and other newspapers in the past couple months that he had been wounded in an air strike that happened on march 18th 200 miles west of mosul. this comes from isis defectors who spoke to pro opposition groups in turkey and told them all this. they said the morale of isis is low. fewer foreign fighters joining isis. and al bagdadi, seems to be incapacitated physically he is still running day-to-day operations and giving orders. however, isis is now seriously thinking of putting in place

someone in his place, a vice leader of the group to try to run the day-to-day operations. you are right. this is something the u.s. cannot corroborate. first of all, it has no information he has been involved in an air strike and no confirmation he is not running isis anymore. certainly an interesting line again that has been coming out of the area. >> fred pleitgen thanks so much. let's get back to the breaking news this morning. another earthquake hits nepal. the u.s. geological survey reporting this one magnitude 7.4 earthquake. the usgs says the epicenter near namche is close to the border with china. this want is relatively shallow 11 miles deep. sumnima udas is returning from

covering the earthquake in april. a quake which had widespread destruction in the country. here another one. 7.4. what do we know? >> reporter: this is the fear a lot of nepalese had. another big one would strike. a lot of people were camping out refusing to go back to homes. the aftershocks kept continuing while we were there. we felt three or four aftershocks a day. a lot of the homes there, even in kathmandu, the capital, which is cracked by the earthquake two and a half weeks ago. they are too scared to go back home or engineers said this is unsafe. a lot of people camping out in cities like kathmandu. presumably the death toll will not be very high because people were already outside. the epicenter of this right now the usgs is saying around namche

which is the hub for the trekkers who want to go to everest. the everest expedition had been canceled by the nepal government because of the previous earthquake and avalanche. a lot of trekkers were there to travel to base camp but not summit everest. there are a lot of nepalese there. obviously nepalese who live in namche. there is a lot of concern that this could also be quite big, christine. >> it could be quite big. it could also complicated the rescue and rebuilding which has been slow. give us a sense of what it is like there before the quake and having just been there and covered it, what this means for the recovery and rebuilding that

was already underway. >> reporter: it is another setback. christine, nepal was just moving into the rehabilitation phase from the search and rescue phase. starting to rebuild some homes there. they pulled as many survivors as they could. evacuated as many of the injured as they could. they were really just starting to move on. the shops in kathmandu starting to open. people starting to go back to work. now this. people were already traumatized by the previous earthquake. experts said another big one is coming. this is just another setback. of course in terms of relief operations. the authorities and army and police i'm sure are reevaluating or trying to figure out what the epicenter is and where to go and who could be affected. so much in the early phases. they are still trying to manage the disaster that happened two

and a half weeks ago and just starting to rebuild and i just saw today the first home being rebuilt on a post my friend sent. people starting to get their lives together and now this. christine christine. >> thank you, sumnima udas. we know you will get to the phones and work the story. thank you. >> i think some of the concerns the epicenter near namche is the gateway to the mountainous area. we are hearing more from kathmandu. the building collapses. i was just reading tweets about people taking to the streets. obviously very scared. >> felt in new delhi. 7.4. nothing to mess around with. 13 minutes past the hour. time for an early start on your money. european shares are lower. the talks with greece and eu creditors failed to reach

agreement. greece facing a cash crunch to repay a debt today. the stocks yesterday pulled back. a lot of people talking about a rise in bond yields around the world. dislocation and one asset class tends to hurt the stock market. also watching google self driving cars. they have been in 11 accidents in the last six years. according to a google blog post they are minor and no injuries. self driving car was never the cause of the accident. in some cases, the person inside had taken control. in others. the self driving car was rear-ended or sideswiped. google says these cars could save time and productivity. the cars are more efficient. interesting to see they are on the road and what is really happening. accidents, but not the fault of the car. the fault of the bad human.

>> always the fault of a bad human. we are following breaking news. a new earthquake in nepal. 7.4 magnitude. the potential devastation. we are getting new information from the country now. plus storm damage here in the united states. new information on the toll that the severe storms have taken across this country. that's next.

updating our breaking news this morning. u.s. geological survey revised the size of the earthquake in nepal. the earthquake is 7.4, down to 7.3. still a very strong earthquake. 7.3 is the revised magnitude. the epicenter reported to be near the nepalese city of namche. this is about 11 miles deep. there are reports of buildings collapsing and buildings that were damaged by the quake on april 23rd. now those buildings once damaged

collapsing. >> 8,000 people died from the quake that hit nepal on april 25th. the country still recovering. the quake in the city of namche. the gateway to the himalayans. there is concern there could be people trekking out near there. no words of avalanches. we are getting more information. 7.3 magnitude quake. very strong. we will bring you the information as soon as we get it. in the meantime we are learning the toll of the severe storms that hit the u.s. five people killed. dozens more injured. more than 70 tornadoes tore up parts of the plains and midwest. >> take a look at the damage inflicted by an ef-3 tornado in van, texas. 24 hours ago, we were talking about the storms rolling through van. that's what it looked like. look at this. it left more than 40 people injured. eight people were missing in the east texas town. they are all accounted for now. look at the 45-foot wide sink

hole that opened up in a parking lot in a grocery store. it is 40-feet deep. heavy rains are being blamed over the lone star state. >> it was loud man. the only thing i can think of. just sounded like a jet engine above your head. you could not open your eyes because there was so much dust flying around. >> when you find out everybody's okay you thank god for your blessings. everything else is possessions. we can rebuild. >> it will take weeks to clean up in van, texas. it tore up main street on sunday ripping roofs off homes and a local high school. power lines and trees are still down. in arkansas storm damage there extensive. most devastateing loss is a couple who was killed in their homes shielding their

18-month-old daughter. the child found alive near the bodies of her parents. >> it has been bad. i don't know i have seen this damage in nashville since i have been in the department here for over 17 years. >> there's more severe weather in the forecast for today. let's bring in meteorologist pedram javaheri. pedram. >> good morning, guys. yes, tropical storm ana, when it made landfall across carolinas, north carolina in particular. tremendous rainfall. heaviest of which stayed offshore. it picked up 4 to 6 inches off the coastline. here is what is left of ana. off the shore of new york city. the front that caused the tornadoes across texas in the past 24 hours. it will scatter thunderstorms in vermont and burlington. it will bring this scattered showers in rhode island. we have dense fog advisories

this morning. visibility less than a half mile in new york city. wet weather in southern texas. tremendous thunderstorms across extreme texas. we had radar estimated rainfall in the region. take a look. models over the next five days bring in another flooding potential across abilene and dallas with 3 inches of rainfall in the forecast. guys. thanks pedram. secretary of state john kerry in a high stakes meeting with the russian president vladimir putin. we are live in russia next. i'm caridee. i've had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis most of my life. but that hasn't stopped me from modeling. my doctor told me about stelara® it helps keep my skin clearer. with only 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses...

...stelara® helps me be in season. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and increase your risk of infections. some serious infections require hospitalization. before starting stelara® your doctor should test for tuberculosis. stelara® may increase your risk of cancer. always tell your doctor if you have any sign of infection have had cancer, or if you develop any new skin growths. do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. alert your doctor of new or worsening problems including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems. these may be signs of a rare potentially fatal brain condition. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you or anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. in a medical study most stelara® patients saw at least 75% clearer skin and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. stelara® helps keep my skin clearer. ask your doctor about stelara®.

welcome back. u.s. officials say secretary of state john kerry and russian president vladimir putin meet face-to-face in sochi this morning. the first meeting since the crisis in ukraine erupted. a lot of upheaval with the nuclear talks with iran. senior international correspondent matthew chance live for us in moscow. it is fair to say the relations with the two nations have been strained over the past year or 13 months. what's on the agenda for the meeting? >> reporter: the strains are bound to be discussed in the meeting since 2013 of the sitting u.s. official inside russia. john kerry will be meeting the russian president vladimir putin

at some point later today. the tensions between russia and the u.s. right now. the crisis in ukraine and sanctions imposed against russia for the involvement in ukraine. the expansion. these have sunk relations with russia and the united states. it is crucial for the two con countries to get together to forge some kind of working relationship because a working relationship with russia and the united states is essential for global security. there are whole area where is they cooperate despite tensions. you mentioned the situation in syria. the situation in iran. without russia the u.s. would not have got so close to getting iran to the negotiating table and deal over the nuclear program. they need the russians as well for cooperation of united

nations security council for resolution on yemen. whole areas where they need to cooperate and try to get a normal working relationship started again. >> a normal working relationship after a tough year. matthew chance thank you. we have breaking news this morning. a new earthquake has hit nepal. 7.3 magnitude. a strong strong quake and shallow as well. we are trying to get reports of damage to find out what's going on there. this could be very very damaging to a country that does not need this. we'll have new information after the break.

>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm christine romans along with john berman. we have breaking news. a 7.3 magnitude earthquake has hit nepal. it was revised down from an initial 7.4 by the u.s. geological survey. still a very stigignificant tremor. the epicenter is near the city of namche. that is close to the border with china. this follows that huge 7.8 quake on april 25th. that quake killed more than 8,000 people and has left the country simply devastated. i want to bring in cnn's sumnima udas live in new delhi. what's the latest for us? >> reporter: christine, the government's still trying to get a sense of the impact of the and

the scale of the earthquake. we know in kathmandu, a lot of chaos on the streets. a lot of people outside. a lot of people crying. that's what people on the ground are telling us. outside kathmandu, a few homes already cracked. they have now fallen. this was the fear of nepalese had while we were there two and a half weeks ago. people said another earthquake will strike again. a lot of the homes with massive cracks will fall. a lot of people were camping out outside. we are talking two and a half weeks since the previous earthquake. my family for example, is still living outside in a tent because of that fear christine. >> thank you for that sumnima udas. felt all the way to new delhi. >> so close to that area of the town of namche where the trekkers do to reach the himalayans. no word of any possible avalanches or snow damage.

we know that happened last time. more than 8,000 killed last time in the 7.8. this one is 7.3. very very strong. we are going to stay on this all morning and bring you the latest information. in the meantime on a different front, the nfl brought down the hammer on quarterback tom brady suspending him for four games over deflategate. the team was fined $1 million. they will have to forfeit two draft picks. including the first round pick in 2016. tom brady's agent calls the discipline ridiculous. don yee says he will appeal. team owner robert kraft says brady has the team's unwaivering support. joined by my friend andy scholes. andy this is without precedent. if you read the rules, perhaps without basis. >> the nfl hitting brady and the

patriots hard with punishment because they must protect the integrity of the game. in a letter to football operations, troy vincent said by not cooperating with the investigation, brady's actions were conduct detrimental to the league. don yee, as you said, john, they plan to appeal. the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate bases. it lacks protocols with handling footballs prior to the games. we will appeal. vincent's letter to the patriots mentioned the team's prior record including the spygate in 2007 as a factor in assessing the discipline. here is a comparison. the patriots are the only franchise since 1980 to be stripped of a first-round draft pick and it happened to them twice. this time the nfl doubling the fine to the patriots. they will be fined $1 million for deflategate. they were fined $500,000 in 2007

for spygate. robert kraft released a statement. today's punishment, however, exceeded any reasonable expectation. it was based on circumstantial rather than hard or conclusive evidence. tom brady has our unconditional support. our belief in him has not waivered. reaction to the suspension was mixed on social media. blunt obviously had his quarterback's back. he tweeted this is absolutely ridiculous. shaking my head. #patsnation. cardinals defender tweeted well done, nfl. #deflategate. steve weatherford, tom brady uss suspended four games? brady will miss four games to start the season. it will be against pittsburgh buffalo, jacksonville and

dallas. the fifth game on the schedule would be at indianapolis on sunday night football. what a coincidence. >> if you are looking for a consistent threat for the punishments by nfl over the years, it is hard to find one because there isn't one. >> a big jump to what the patriots got. as i said john the cover up sometimes worse than the actual crime. thank you. police in lake mary florida expected to detail the shooting of george zimmerman. he says someone he had been in a dispute with pulled up alongside him in traffic and took a shot. the bullet missed zimmerman, but

he was hit with flying glass. his attorney spoke out. >> this is good old fashion self defense. if one is in reasonable fear of their life or imminent bodily harm they have the right to protect themselves if they are threatened. >> this fellow was taunting and yelling at him and calling him names. you going to shoot me now kind of thing. i don't know where that came from. in any event, when george recognized him and realize what had he was saying, he rolled his window up and get away. not to provoke it. the fellow followed him. followed him around the u-turn and pulled up next to him and shot him. could have killed him easily. >> zimmerman's lawyer denies his client waved a gun. so far, no arrests or charges in the case. the head of the national security agency says isis efforts to use the internet

against the west is a great concern for the nsa. mike rogers says the agency is worried about isis using the web to recruit and encourage lone wolf attackers in the u.s. >> this concern about individuals within the united states increasingly resonated, if you will with the ideology of isul and acting violently is clearly of great concern. it is something that concerns us. it is a trend that things would suggest is increasing, not decreaseing decreasing. >> rogers told a forum on monday is balancing the american need for security with respect for the privacy. that is the trick. u.s. officials knocking down reports that the isis leader is injured and out of commission. for weeks, reports of abu bakr

al bagdadi suffered spinal damage that left him incapacitated. two u.s. officials tell cnn there is no reason to believe those reports are true. following the story for us is correspondent frederik pleitgen live in london. fred some of the reports had him surrounded by a group of iraqi doctors or surrounded by minions to make sure his orders were carerolle carried out on the battle field. what do we know? >> reporter: the reports say all of this comes from isis defector defectors who spoke to groups in turkey. these people were able to produce isis identification. one of the things christine, we have to keep in mind is abu bakr al bagdadi is someone who is not

only very secretive in public, but very secretive inside the isis organization. by some accounts he is known as the invisible sheik there. really the only public footage we have of al bagdadi is the one we are seeing now. he gave a sermon in july of 2013 shortly after isis overran that place. it would be very difficult for people within isis to really corroborate if he had been hit in an air strike and how bad his injuries were. there were people who came out with some very specific information which is very difficult to substantiate. saying all this happened on march of 18th. it is interesting to see the u.s. is coming out to say they don't have evidence he was hit in an air strike and no evidence to suggest he is not running the day-to-day operations of isis anymore. certainly that seems to indicate they really are wary of the

information that is coming out. as you said information that has been coming out again and again and again. it has been several months since all of this was first reported. march 18th is a while ago. there has been information coming out an gaingain. christine, there have been isis leaders in the past who made is team they were injured or killed on the battle field to take them out of the line of fire. that is something we have to keep in mind. it could be a smoke screen by isis. very very difficult to substantiate. >> rumors and information. sometimes when you are covering isis. it is hard to differ between the two. thanks fred. 41 minutes past the hour. time for an early start on your money. bond yields are rising around the world. that could be bad news for stocks. u.s. stock futures are down. i want to tell you about the picasso painting that was on auction yesterday. it became the most expensive art ever sold. the price tag on the piece, $179

million. $179 million. >> what does it do? does it have a flatscreen tv? >> you can't put peerbeers in it. the painting was last sold for $32 million in 1997. a recovery which the art market has been on fire. until yesterday, the most expensive was the three studies of freud. >> at least there are three of them there. you get a good value. >> but the big trophy pieces it shows you how the super -- how much money is out there. you look at properties in london and new york and other parts of the world and trophy art like

that. >> i joke but i like both those works stunning. 42 minutes after the hour. we have breaking news out of nepal. a new earthquake. 7.3 magnitude hitting that country where 8,000 people were killed in a quake a few weeks ago. which we will get you the latest information there. and testimony in the boston marathon bombing sentencing trial. did dzhokhar tsarnaev apologize for his crimes? we will tell you what he told a nun after the break. brushing alone does less than half the job leaving behind millions of germs. complete the job with listerine®. kill up to 99 percent of germs. and prevent plaque, early gum disease and bad breath. complete the job with listerine®. power to your mouth™. also try listerine® floss. its advanced technology removes more plaque.

we are covering breaking news this morning. getting our first reports of death caused by a new magnitude 7.3 earthquake in nepal. international agencies say there were four deaths in the town of close to kathmandu. the epicenter is in the town of namche. the damage can be more devastating since the earthquake was shallow. there are reports of buildings that were damaged in the april earthquake. >> a lot of trekkers go through namche. we don't know if there are landslides yet. we saw that on april 25th with the first quake. >> i'm checking the wires here.

we are getting reports of some landslides in a few towns. we will closely watch where that is and how it complicated the rescue efforts. >> 8,000 dead from the first quarter. both sides preparing to deliver closing arguments in the boston marathon bombing trial. the arguments happen wednesday. the defense put an anti-defense activist on the stand. sister helen prejean. she believes he is genuinely remorseful. tsarnaev was convicted on all 30 counts. jurors will decide if he gets life in prison or the death penalty. >> she said it was the way he looked down or the look on his face. he did not say i am genuinely remorseful. >> that is of note.

>> our deborah feyerick is following this. she had a special report. she covered all of the terrorists 9/11 and the underwear bomber it goes on and on. she says he completely appears to be checked out or disinterested if he gets the death penalty or life. he doesn't care. >> i wonder if the jurors make that same conclusion. 49 minutes after the hour. the tsa is compromising passenger safety by mismanaging reports on the airport screening. i don't think the tsa thinks that. the investigation by homeland security inspector general finds tsa workers do not know which equipment works and what equipment needs repairs. this includes major pieces of machinery used to screen travelers for guns bombs and other weapons. because of mismanagement, the report concludes passengers have been vulnerable to terrorist attacks for a decade. happening now, secretary of

state john kerry in meetings with russia's president with sensitive topics on the table. we are live in moscow after the break. but that hasn't stopped me from modeling. my doctor told me about stelara® it helps keep my skin clearer. with only 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses... ...stelara® helps me be in season. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and increase your risk of infections. some serious infections require hospitalization. before starting stelara® your doctor should test for tuberculosis. stelara® may increase your risk of cancer. always tell your doctor if you have any sign of infection have had cancer, or if you develop any new skin growths. do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. alert your doctor of new or worsening problems including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems. these may be signs of a rare potentially fatal brain condition. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you or anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. in a medical study most stelara® patients saw at least 75% clearer skin and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. stelara® helps keep my skin clearer. ask your doctor about stelara®.

a long time. there is a lot on the agenda yemen and syrian and the nuclear talks and the relationship with u.s. and russia. our correspondent matthew chance joins us live from moscow this morning. good morning, matthew. >> reporter: good morning, john. that's right. turbulent relationship with moscow and washington over the course of the past 12 months or so over the ukraine crisis and sanctions and over nato expansion as well. which russia is extremely angry about. it plunged relations with the two countries to post-cold war lows. they have cooperated still over the course over iran and nuclear question. over syria as well in trying to find a resolution to the conflict. they want to cooperate over yemen as well. they have to start this process of rebuilding that relationship so they can continue to work in the international arena and

diplomacy. that is why john kerry is coming to russia today. he will lay a wreath at the war memorial in sochi and meeting with sergei lavrov and the russian president as well. >> matthew chance thank you. millennials have taken over the work force. what's more important than a paycheck? i'll tell you what that is next.
