poppy? >> and you know i think it's also important to point out our susan candiotti reported late last night that her sources are saying that the bedside interviews conducted by interrogators were "very thorough" and the source says investigators did not feel hindered by the timing of the miranda rights and charges being brought forward so i think that's an important point as well. i know you're also hearing from the white house this morning. what can you tell us? >> we haven't heard much from the president himself about this since the investigation began. we heard him initially raise questions about how did these young men become radicalized, how did they decide they wanted to attack in the u.s.. we did hear from vice president biden last night, he was speaking at a forum in sedona, arizona, with senator john mccain. he talked about why he initially called these suspects cowardly knockoff jihadis because he didn't think they were pros. listen to more of what vice president biden had to say.

i'm poppy harlow joining you live from boston this saturday. it is 10:00 out here on the east coast, 7:00 in the morning out west. so glad you're with us this saturday. ahead this hour, the boston bombing suspect may have a lawyer now, but the questioning is far from over. hear what a former secret service agent and interrogator has to say about what could come next. plus, he lost all his limbs, but not his passion for life. an amazing 13-year-old boy, very special message to the victims of the boston bombings. and we're coming to you live from boylston street this morning as people in boston try to get back to business as normal or as much as they can after this whole area being shut down in the aftermath of the bombing. the investigation is now focused on a land fill, which is about an hour away from where i'm standing, in new bedford, massachusetts, close to the university of massachusetts dartmouth. that's where suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev went to school. investigators are searching for a laptop, which could provide more information about the

poppy? >> that is absolutely the key question. we also don't know whether or not russia intercepted those polls before or after they warned the united states about tamerlan tsarnaev. russian president vladimir putin has been stressing all week that the united states and russia can work closer together to prevent tragedies like this but mike rogers says he thinks "russians have more ninformation than they're sharing." how open is the russian government being at this point? >> well, in terms of public o n openness, there is almost none, whatever. this is the russian security service, their internal police, if you like. what did they know about tamerlan tsarnaev. why they were worried enough to look into him. we haven't looked back on this and that isn't a surprise because this is a highly secretive organization. the soviet police, the kbg. from the government we haven't heard a lot either. vladimir putin offers greater information and in reference to what russia a knew at the time back in 2011

poppy? >> phil, are we getting any indication why it took until three days ago for russia to turn over this information or even tell u.s. authorities about this wiretap. they waited days even after the suspects were apprehended. do we know why? >> no, we don't know why. in fact, russian authorities have generally been very tight lipped on precisely what they knew back in 2011. why they were concerned about tamerlan tsarnaev and why he showed up on their radar and why they thought he was potentially a threat. they asked the fbi to help. we have been asking all the authorities, the government, the internal police here and the only response so far has been silent. the russian president vladimir putin in his only public statement on this point said it was to his regret that russian authorities were not able to provide any information that was operational significance. but since the bombing. both the russian and u.s. governments are keen to stress that they are working very closely together. to w

>> guest: there's so much poppy grown in afghanistan,en and that's the -- poppy -- the paste and the poppy gives you opium that gets refined into heroin. nobody is bringing heroin into afghanistan. helmund province, one province of afghanistan, just to the west of kandahar, where we sent our marines starting in 2009. i write about this in the book. just that one province, in 2007 and 2008, produced more opium then processed into heroin, than the entire world population of junkies could consume in a year. nobody is bringing it in. there hasn't been any evidence, i've seen, that the united states has been -- or u.s. jim,0 interests have been profiting. if you turn the clock back to the 80s, there's some people who have argued -- and i haven't seen come -- compelling evidence -- the cia encouraged cultivation to help fund the resistance. we do know that poppy funds back then were used to help fight the soviets. and like with the overall growth of the antisoviet jihad, some of then was helpful a generation ago comes back to bite the afghan people and u.s. interests in the current environ

poppy is a huge challenge. we've seen big ups and downs. the core drivers and we have learned this from peru and columbia and other areas where we've had successful alternative development programs. woe help with improving weak yields. working for export opportunities for the gulf and other countries in the area and one of the few things that's been effective at getting people out of poppy and these other areas is creating the opportunities that are safe and legal and financially fiscally rewarding to small producers and small businesses there. the poppy was going to the western countries but now the big market or part of it is russia and that avenue is somewhat open and if you could just address that very briefly too. >> that's accurate an part of our approach is to help manage and bring much more transparency and fight corruption at trading posts and border crossings for combatting poppy trade and revenue flow from that but also help the afghan government collect real customs to have domestic revenue replace aid overtime as that i can on

poppy harlow thank you very much for that, poppy. and straight ahead, the final moments before the capture last night, and inside information and a moment by moment breakdown of how police captured sar nef. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ fact, they have him cornered right now. >> who is corner ed? >> they believe it is the suspect. >> we heard what appeared to be several shots that sounds different than the flash bang. i have heard one of othose before, but it distinctively sounded different. it was definitely shots being fired. >> this is cnn breaking news. >>> and if you are just joining us, good evening, everyone. what started out
