brooke, jake? >> you know, deb, you were talking about the tree stump and we were showing the live pictures, i don't know if we still have them, but the tree stump was apparently the site of the second explosion and you see the semicircle of men, the firefighters, the first responders, as we await and as we continue to see more people lining up, boylston street, as close as they can get before the moment of silence, a couple of days ago i talked to someone i'll never forget this 41 veteran of boston fire department, his name was charlie buchanan, engine 24, you know, had never done an interview in 41 years and he was one of the heroes to rush toward -- he told me, brooke, we attacked, we never retreat. and ran toward the smoke and just to hear his story to hear his story of how he thought of his 7-year-old grandson malachi as he saw the daughter of martin -- the younger sister of martin richard and saw her eyes and he's having a tough time sleeping because he closes his eyes and he sees her little

brooke? >> okay. jessica, of course there are critics who are not partisan. people -- former counterterrorism officials, interviewed one on the lead yesterday, former ambassador thomas mcnamara, in charge of intellig questions. not all the criticism is partisan, of course. moving on to another subject, the president was also asked about syria. and he seemed to be slightly trying to clarify what he meant when he said a few months ago that using a bunch of chemical weapons would be a red line for syria that nation better not cross. well there is a suggestion that they may have crossed. what was the president's message today? >> reporter: you're right, jake. he did make very careful use of his words there. he repeatedly said if they determined that they used chemical weapons and they determine what the chain of custody was for their evidence it would be a game changer. what is different today is how he defines the game changer. he said that there are a range of options that are available to us a

brooke? >> okay. jessica, of course, there are critics who are not partisan. people -- former counterterrorism officials, interviewed one on the lead yesterday, former ambassador thomas mcnamara, in charge of intelligence sharing, and he had had questions. not all the criticism is partisan, of course. moving on to another subject, the president was also asked about syria. and he seemed to be slightly trying to clarify what he meant when he said a few months ago that using a bunch of chemical weapons would be a red line for syria, that nation better not cross. well, there is a suggestion that they may have crossed. what was the president's message today? >> reporter: you're right, jake. he did make very careful use of his words there. he repeatedly said if they determined that they used chemical weapons and they determine what the chain of custody was for their evidence, it would be a game changer. what is different today is how he defines the game changer. he said that there are a range of op

brooke? >>> yeah, anderson. i want to talk about the injuries here in a moment. i thought your point was interesting on how this is not a city under siege. i got into town two hours ago, two things i noticed quickly, one, a lot of blue lights, a lot of police presence at logan airport. i had to show my license three times to get on the plane from manhattan to here. but secondly, a lot of turquoise, a lot of turquoise and yellow marathon jackets. i talked to a couple who obviously is still very shaken up but they say they're still proud and showing their solidarity with their fellow runners. again, we're live at brigham and women's hospital here in boston. and it has been a tough 24 hours for the staff here and for the families of the victims from the bombings, from the boston marathon. they're gruesome. some of the people who ran the marathon who have experienced in the military and the doctors here talking about how they're similar to battlefield wounds, people are in medically induced comas

brooke? >> jim, let me ask you about secretary kerry, you know, has listed the conditions in which the u.s., possibly the u.s., would be sitting down to discuss, maybe denuclearization, of course, of north korea. was he specific? what did john kerry say? >> well, you know, kerry was specific. he let the north koreans know that, you know, the shot clock is running, so to speak, and they're going to have to consider what's essential to the talks themselves. denuclearization and getting rid of their ballistic missile systems. listen, -- >> what i simply did was repeat that we are open to talks. but the conditions have to be met where the north has to move towards denuclearization, indicated seriousness in doing so by reducing these threats, stop the testing, and indicate it's prepared to actually noesh on denuclearization. those are the conditions and that's what we need to see met. >> the question is, what's going to be the response? we're waiting and watching to see if there's going to be anyt

brooke? >> okay. shannon travis for us there in front of the capital, a whole lot of people wanting that change, wanting that pathway. thank you. >>> now to some of the hottest stories in a flash. roll it. there she goes. this is a giant breakthrough, a giant explosion. this is underneath the streets of new york city. what, you ask? this is the mta blowing some tons and tons of bedrock to make way for a subway expansion. this is the east side. the product is said to cost $8.3 billion. >>> and a shoutout today on the eve of the masters. there she is. condoleezza rice, sporting the coveted green jacket. here is club chairman billy payne. >> welcoming condi and darla as members of augusta national represented a joyous occasion for the club. this week, that's truer than ever. and i hope the experience for condi and darla as members of our club has been every bit as rewarding and enjoyable for them over the last eight months as it has been for their fellow members. it is just awesome. >> for fun, par 3 tou

brooke? >> tell me, jake -- jake, listen to me. i have jake tapper standing next to me. welcome to you, jason, before i let you go, what else do we know about the facility who else is being detained in a place like this? >> reporter: well, i can tell you this facility houses approximately 1,000 inmates. but tsarnaev is being held in a restricted section because he's a high risk offender. and that particular section of this facility, it can hold up to about 30 inmates. and found a little bit more information about these particular type of cells that he's being held in right now. apparently it is just your very -- a very basic cell. it has got a shower inside of it. a toilet as well as a sink. there is a slot in the steel door, so food can be brought in there as well. in terms of visitors, he is allowed to have visitors, butte we're told at this point the only visitors on that list are his legal representatives. if the family member such as his father, for example, wants to come in, and visit h

brooke? >> yes. >> i like how you brought up being kicked off a plane, and people said, you were kicked off a plane and you were like, oh, do i really have to tell this story. and then the story you hated to tell was, well, i was flying to st. bart's for my wedding. really? come on. >> andy, are you just bitter? >> yes. greg, do you have something to add to that? >> brooke, tell them what happened after you were leaving the plane. >> i did stand up and say, this could happen to you, too! and then nobody did anything. they just stood there and looked really afraid and they let us get kicked off the plane for absolutely no reason. and the pilot admitted to us that we were kicked off because the stewardess said i gave her attitude about my dress. >> here is my theory. flight attendant, how old was she? >> it's hard to tell when you're up in the air like that. >> yeah, when you're up in the air, all of a sudden age disappears. she wasn't married. she was bitter and jealous. >> oh! >> not all flig

i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> hi, there. i'm brooke baldwin. good to be with you. beginning with breaking news on this thursday. reports of a tornado right now moving over mississippi. chad myers, it's in to alabama. tell us what you know. >> >> that's correct. it was on the ground. has been on the ground for a long time. it has produced one fatality. the storm continues to be on the ground as it travels to the east of columbus, mississippi. these are kind of rural areas, thank goodness, because this is probably an f-3, f-4 tornado on the ground. it did hit a town near may con, mississippi, earlier, but it's now moving in a very rural area near alabama. they're already taking some of the kids out of school already. the last time we happened we remember the vivid pictures of tuscaloo tuscaloosa. those kids are going home. more tornados in southern mississippi and some of the patien parishes of louisiana. this is going to be one of those days, if a storm is

brooke? >> brian, let's just walk back a step. tell me why police had honed in. what happened there? >> this was 12 or 17 hours earlier. and then, come into this area where they engaged in a standoff, a very, very violent standoff some of the witness accounts are just incredibly dramatic. how that all unfolded when his brother was killed. that's what kind of led them into this area where the suspect was hulled up. they were going around to almost every house. so there's a chance, brooke, he may have been in that boat for much of the day. >> these will come out once law enforcement officials are able to talk to him around try to understand where he was and why. brian, thank you so much. >> yeah, brooke, it is going to take a while before the authorities piece everything together. it will take weeks, maybe even months before we know everything that happened. in the meantime, family members have been talking out. their reaction has ranged from disbelief to disgust. >>> meantime, john, they never showed any inclination towards terrorism. here she was. >> my younsest

brooke? yeah, back here in boston, the activity that we've been playing in watertown, i spent much of my day where the two suspects had lived. i've landed an interview about a block away from the suspect's home with an auto-mechanic who had a pretty odd exchange with this younger suspect. coming up next, we're going to share part of my interview. he saw him and how to deal with him one day after the marathon here in boston. a former cia operative tells us he does not think so. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> coming up to 10 minutes to 3:00 in the morning here. a daunting task trying to figure out why these two young men allegedly carried out these terrorists attack. he says he does not believe that the two brothers acted alone. tells me that he was involved in some sort of group. the fact that they were able to explode two bomt, that they enclosed them. that day purt pellets in them. additionally, it's extraordinary. these two men had a running fight with police. this is not normal people wh

i'm brooke baldwin. busy morning of developments. let's begin with investigators looking into a bizarre and fascinating possibility that his older brother, a devout muslim, with fundamental beliefs may have funded attacks by peddling illegal drugs. the father of dzhokhar and tamerlan say terrorists are threatening the family in southern russia. both his sons are innocent and that they were somehow framed. their mother takes it one step farther, she believes this bloody crime scene here in boston was no more than a lot of smoke. actors, she says, played the main victims, and the blood was nothing more than paint. this from the suspected bombers here. much more on that in a moment. first, russian president vladimvladmir putin urging closer cooperation with the united states and this follows concern that by some that u.s. intelligence agencies failed to follow through on concerns from russia. russia asked americans to investigate tamerlan tsavraev because he appeared to be sliding into islamic extremism. th

brook, that's where the suspects, these two brothers, lived. what are you seeing, what are you hearing? >> okay, wolf, you're xl right. we're on this live picture right now. we have zoomed in, you see the firefighters, there they go actually moving closer down norfolk, so that is the street. so just, about i'd say maybe a football field and a half from where you see those firefighters, down norfolk, is where we believe is that apartment complex where these two guys have been living here in cambridge. i have been here for several hours this morning and what we just learned in a news conference from police givees with this tremendous law enforcement presence. you know, we have additional ambulances on standby, possibly in the case that there could be injuries with this controlled explosion, but we saw firefighters pulling out the hose, we're sort of waiting for possibly signaling cover your ears, umm, waiting, waiting to see when the explosion happens because you know you never know what could be inside of that apartment before they can go in, be

brooke? >> they're learning to debate. >> i have a theory, brooke, that it's impossible for a republican kid or a conservative to be a victim of bullying because they are exempt from that. if you bully a goth or if you bully a liberal, but you can't bully a republican because people think they're mean, anyway, right? >> right, that' hypocrisy. i applaud this young man for what he's doing raising awareness about this issue and how concerned he is about the welfare of other students. a study at harvard is coming out with a study that 70% of students in law school are left contribu being harassed for the democratic party. we're seeing violations of these students' civil rights under title 6. that is why my next book coming out is about protecting your rights on campus. it's called the students' guide to harassment on campus. watch out for it, it's coming out. >> bill, let's talk about little tucker for a moment. little tucker, do you think celebrities who do those "it gets better" things will ev

brooke? >> bounce back, way above the 14,000 mark, despite this roller coaster, quick roller coaster of a day on wall street. alison kosik, thank you. >> shows the general anxiety, atmosphere we're in now. we'll repeat what the tweet was, because it was fake and offensive, but we're all on edge, and just one more reason why the investigation surrounding what happened here is so important. the more we get answers, the more people calm down and understand the situation is under control. >> there is surveillance video. and witnesses and a nation wanting justice here. so does -- how does a lawyer defend dzhokhar tsarnaev? coming up next, we're talking to two attorneys who face a similar challenge. they each defended a terrorist suspect. hwelcome back.. nice to see you again! hey! i almost didn't recognize you without the suit. well, this is my weekend suit. weekend getaways just got better. well, enjoy your round! alright, thanks! save a ton on our best available rate when you book early and feel

let's go live to brook baldwin. hey, brooke. >> driving here to this live location where we have been c p camped out for the better part of air week here in copley square, it's been celebration in the stleets, driving here, given everything that happened in the last couple of hours, jubilation. i think this is the first night ever since send people here in boston will finally be able to sleep. we'll talk you through what went down. i spent my day in cambridge and learned more about this 19-year-old suspect who is now not too far from me in a boston hospital. talked to a lot of young people who went to high school with dzhokhar. they never knew much about where he was from his his roots. i want to stay some sounds. >> one thing we do know is that whatever hateful agenda drove these men to such hasn'tous acts cannot prevail. whatever they thought they could ultimately achieve, they've already failed. the people of boston refused to be intimidated. they failed because as americans we refused to be terrorized. we will n

brooks. >>> good afternoon, commissioners. eric brooks with san francisco green party and local grassroots organization in our city. so, first i want to make sure that it's made clear on the pg&e question. a lot of very -- varied environmental and consumer groups made sure the settlement that was reached with pg&e was strong, which is good for us because it gives us something real competition and it gives us -- and they'll have to spend more on it and it gives us a rate we can maybe compete with. but explicitly in that agreement is that pg&e has committed that in its program it will build hundreds of megawatts of solar energy in california and hire people doing it. so, people need to be aware that that's part -- this is not a buildoutless pg&e program. and there is real buildout in it. it's statewide instead of local and it's solar instead of integrated. >>> now, as to the presentation today, a couple of quick things. one is that we need to reel back on the buildout question and ask a very fundamental question that we have bee

>> good afternoon, again, eric brooks, san francisco green party and local grass roots organization in our city, i do too many of these, so at any rate, it's really good to see the lafco taking this up. i'm not a fan and i don't think -- i'm not going to explicitly speak for them but i think most of the folks in the green party are not a fan of this strong executive that's able to just appoint people that leave offices like the board of supervisors or the assessor. i see no reason whatsoever that whenever someone leaves a position in our city government that we can't immediately call a near term special election to replace that person by a vote of the people, that's the way we should be replacing people on the board of supervisors and to other elected positions. and just to kind of also dove tail on what some of you already said, we also have this situation and this whole assessor thing where, you know, god bless and i mean, i find him to be a little more positive than his predecessor from the start point of a progressive, but mayor lee did do this thing that the board of supervisors a

first of all we already know brooke. i do day time tv but i'm a watcher, i'm a fan. i happen to have a job where i was watching anyway. when i turn on my daytime tv i like familiar faces. i like to get know somebody and i like them to be a part of my household. being that hasselbeck and behar are leaving, brooke shields has been in our household since "blue lagoon." remember when she fought tom cruise. she's 47 years old. she's a mom. we're familiar with brooke. the one to go in the chair for behar is saying ally wentworth. she's been here a couple of times. she's married to george stephanopoulos. she's from a very well appointed washington, d.c. beltway family. she's a very smart girl. she knows how to get down and dirty. she knows how to drink a boiler maker and wipe her mouth. she's just fun. i think those are two good choices, barbara wall terrifies. the "daily news" is reporting is you're considering stepping down at the end of this year. [ applause ] and we like barbara, but you know barbara can either stay or go or stay and, you know, how she sometimes is a gu

>> it sounded to me, brooke, like it was totally spontaneous. they didn't have any money, so this isn't something they had planned out and had said, okay, we're going to do these bombs here on boylston street and then go to new york city. it was spur of the moment, spontaneous. they had no money, tried to get money out of an atm from the guy they hijacked, car had no gas. they were not going to make it to new york city. new york city, it seems like it's always, always there as a possible target, because it is an icon. and, you know, we saw the attempted bombing in times square not too long ago where a guy pulled up there in a van and tried to detonate a bomb, but that didn't go off. so, again, new york city police, new york city fire, they are constantly, every single day, responding to reports of suspicious packages. i see them every single day, at least one somewhere in the city, so this is something they live with constantly. >> yeah, and thank goodness for that astute hotdog vendor. i remember being on cnn when that was unfolding, but mayor

brooke? >> absolutely. deborah feyerick for us there at that explosion site and the finish line of the boston marathon. thank you so much. thanks for being with me here. live special coverage in copley square in boston. when we come back more from that growing memorial just across the street from me boyleston street back open. jake tapper takes over "the lead" next. music ... music ... music... >>> jake tapper is up in just a moment but before i let you go we have a pretty stunning piece from our correspondent drew griffin about how police tricked these brothers and saved lives along the way. >> in a hail of bullets this watertown police suv became the decoy taking fire, a bullet through the windshield, side, and back windows shot out. according to the chief, all part of an instant decision made by one of his sergeants literally in the heat of a battle. >> there is a serious gun fight going on. the second person on the scene, one of my sergeants, he pulled up and immediately gets at least one shot right thr

brooke? >> dan lothian at the white house. >>> few americans know more about north korea and former new mexico governor bill richardson. we will talk to him in a few minutes. >>> next, it is tough to believe but here we go, carnival cruise "triumph" involved in yet another catastrophe. this one though may be deadly. a worker is missing this morning after this ship escaped from its moorings yesterday afternoon. it has been docked for repairs since that february engine fire that sort of infamously disabled that. shannon travis has been tracking the developments on this ship from washington. shannon, what do you know? >> brooke, this is such a worrying store rid and bizarre at the same time. this worker is identified by local reports as john johnson, or better known as buster, as some people call him. 64-year-old african-american apparently he wasn't wearing a life vest at all. the family, as you mentioned, is being told that his chances of survival are remote but that search is ongoing and the

. >> brooke: the hospital? >> bill: yeah. katie rested well last night. >> brooke: how's will? >> bill: he's good. he's sleeping after his unexpected visit with his mom. >> brooke: dr. meade was right. all katie needed was a chance to see her baby. that, and...the ring. the minute you put it on her finger... you did the right thing. i hope you know that.

ring. >> brooke: "ring." [ birds chirping ] >> steffy: i still can't believe it.

minutes before closing time on november 9, 1933, brook hart left the department store and walked the short distance to his car. his kidnappers would be the last people to see him alive. >> this is the great gangster era of the 30s, and the great terrorist crime of fashion in those days was kidnapping for ransom. >> described by those who knew him as slow witted. he became friends with another local man, a motor oil sales man. together they would plan and play out the kidnapping of hart. >> they murdered him immediately and then asked for the money. >> reporter: the men waited for hart to leave the department store. using another car they drove to the san mateo bridge about a half mile out over the water. they tied weights around hart, clubbed him into unconsciousness and threw his body into the water. howward thurmon then emptied the pistol firing into where hart hit the water. almost immediately, they began bombarding the hart family. calling the mother and father at home, writing them notes demanding $20,000 for their son's safe return. the two responded sending for proof that they

back to you. >> okay, brooke. i got a couple of questions for you, brooke. first, for our viewers, we're obviously don't want to do anything that gives away any kind of tactical information, any kind of ongoing tactical operations. that's been a problem in years past. it can even be more of a problem with live television. we're very cautious in terms of where we're pointing the cameras, what we're showing you, putting things on tape delay when warranted. the -- obviously everybody's role here besides our role to inform you, we don't want to do anything that impedes or hampers this investigation, it is very possible this suspect is hunkered down in some home somewhere watching television, the concern we have with the massive manhunt under way with chris dorner months ago in california. a couple of key questions. do we know, we may not know this, so let's not speculate, but do we know for a fact these two suspects lived at that addre address? i asked chris lawrence about he had heard -- he had talked to a young man who helped this younger suspect dzhokhar at 1

so premier redford, we're really very pleased to welcome you to brookings today. thank you. >> i'm sorry, i forgot to tell you, you have cards on your seats if you'd like to write questions while the premier is speaking, we'll be glad to get those answered during the course of the delivery. >> all right. well, thank you very much for being here today, and thank you so much, charlie and dan, for hosting this event which for us is very exciting. the brookings institution, of course, is a place where i've never spoken before, but it is certainly an institution that well known to many of us in canada, and it is an honor to be here today with our canadian ambassador, gary doer, and with ambassador giffin. and i know that while there are those of us in the room, that there's also a webcast of this, so i welcome people that are watching online from the comfort of their own homes. it is a pleasure to be here, to be able to have a discussion in this room, which is truly representative think tanks in the united states because this institution has a tremendously distinguishe

before we bring up brook to say a couple words. could you talk to me, i didn't see in the description the possible design for connecting the parking lot to the plaza. >> the mendell plaza. the design work on the fence includes a large ruling gate that will be across from mendell plaza. with the intent we'll close off the bay view project for the children and will it encourage movement from the man dell plaza to the bay view plaza. >> what material is it made of? >> the final work will go through final design. it's actually going to be metal with a twist in it that will have a kind of a ripple effect so you will be able to see through it at some angles but it will block and provide privacy for children's area and will be lit from underground so in the evening the light will shine and it will have a sense of movement to it. >> will it mechanically move? >> i don't know the answer to that. i will find out for you. >> looks like we have a question from commissioner campos? >> thank you madam chair. thank you for this presentation. it's

. >> brook, since 9/11, we've been very cognizant of threats. do you think that now that there is an inordinate amount of flight attendant power, or do you think this is -- >> absolutely. i think everybody knows someone who has been kicked off a plane, right? the authorities can be completely discretionary. >> were you kicked off? >> do you have to tell that story right now? >> absolutely. >> okay. this is the story. i was on the way to st. bart with my wedding dress -- >> nice! >> -- and i got kicked off the plane from american airlines because they didn't have room for my wedding dress. i'm telling you. >> you were getting married in st. bart's, so you were on the plane with your wedding dress. they're aware this is the most important day of your life, but because they didn't have room for the wedding dress -- your fault, by wait the way -- you d have to wear it, you could have worn some kind of linen outfit. >> it was completely by discretion, and they told me i gave them attitude. it was my wedding dress, come on! and they kicked me and my h

i'm brianna keilar in for brooke baldwin. the family of an alleged rape victim are on a mission to end the cyberbullying they say pushed her to end her life. we're moments away from hearing from the parents of audrie pott in a live news conference. pott was a popular california teenager who loved art, music and skiing. then september 2nd happened, the night a sleepover she attended turned into an unsupervised drinking party. pott passed out, woke up, and first got a hint of what three reported friends allegedly did to her. >> had no idea what occurred until she woke up the following morning and had some drawing on her body in some private areas. >> she soon learned students were sharing images of her attack. audrie posted this on facebook. they took pictures of me. my life is ruined. this is my worst day ever. pott killed herself eight days after that party. and on friday, santa clara county investigators arrested three boys current or past students at her high school, saratoga high. they're facing juvenile charges of sexual

brookes. >>> good evening, supervisors. eric brookes representing san francisco green party, local grassroots organization. our city and earth quart nater, the community ceqa improvement team. first of all, i want to reiterate what a couple other speakers on this side of the aisle said, which is that we realize that there are some problems that for a few people really cause a nightmare and we realize that this needs to be fixed. we realize that cat ex's and negative declarations need an improved process. and let me assure you that the legislation that we have helped craft that will be coming from supervisor kim's office is not going to be a piece of legislation that is going to allow a problem like discovering a rotting wall to really mess things up for a homeowner that wants to fix their house. that's not in our interest. we won't support legislation that causes that kind of a problem. so, i think folks should rest assured that the super improvement team is not going to put its stamp of approval on something that would cau
