Sean Penn says his interview with drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was designed to start a "conversation about the policy of the war on drugs."

"My article failed," Penn told CBS's Charlie Rose. "Let me be clear. My article has failed."

When Penn's shocking 10,000-word article in Rolling Stone was published last weekend, most of the news coverage was about El Chapo's confessions, Penn's potential legal liabilities for meeting with the fugitive, and the process of how Penn landed the meeting in the first place.

Penn was hoping for a different outcome. One of his points, he said, was that government's pursuit of individual drug lords and cartels arguably doesn't make a dent in overall drug use - a common view among activists.

"We're going to put all our focus -- forget about blame -- we're going to put all our focus, all our energy, all our billions of dollars on the 'bad guy,' and what happens? You get another death the next day the same way," Penn told Rose.

El Chapo asserted something similar in a response to one of Penn's questions. When asked whether he feels responsible for high levels of drug addiction, El Chapo said, "No, that is false, because the day I don't exist, it's not going to decrease in any way at all."

El Chapo also said, "Drug trafficking does not depend on just one person. It depends on a lot of people." And: "If there was no consumption, there would be no sales."

Penn, a world-famous actor, activist and occasional writer, has stayed quiet ever since his article came out last Saturday. In the meantime, questions have swirled about his motivations for meeting El Chapo and possible repercussions from it.

He spoke with Rose on Thursday for an interview that will be shown on CBS's "60 Minutes." CBS released excerpts from the interview on Friday morning.

"Let's go to the big picture of what we all want," Penn said. "We all want this drug problem to stop. We all want them -- the killings in Chicago to stop. We are the consumer. Whether you agree with Sean Penn or not, there is a complicity there. And if you are in the moral right, or on the far left, just as many of your children are doing these drugs."

He added, "And how much time have they spent in the last week since this article came out, talking about that? One percent? I think that'd be generous."

Penn also suggested that jealousy might partly explain the critical news coverage.

"When you get the story that every journalist in the world wanted, there's a lot of green-eyed monsters who are going to come give you a kiss," he told Rose.

He blasted critics who have dismissed him as "not a journalist."

"I want to see the license that says that they're a journalist," Penn said.

Penn also used the interview to rebut claims from Mexican officials that his meeting with El Chapo contributed to the drug lord's recapture. These claims have prompted speculation that El Chapo's Sinaloa cartel could target Penn.

Penn called it a "myth" that his trip helped the authorities.

El Chapo escaped from prison in July. Penn brokered a meeting with the drug lord through Mexican actress Kate Del Castillo.

The visit occurred in early October, roughly two weeks before El Chapo reportedly narrowly escape a raid by Mexican marines.

In an extraordinary coincidence, Penn's article was sent to the printing press on the same day of El Chapo's recapture.

Penn commented to Rose that Mexican government officials were "clearly very humiliated by the notion that someone found him before they did... We're not smarter than DEA or the Mexican intelligence. We had a contact upon which we were able to facilitate an invitation."

Rose asked, "Do you believe that the Mexican government released this" idea that the meeting assisted in El Chapo's recapture "in part because they want to see you blamed and to put you at risk?"

"Yes," Penn said.

"They wanted to encourage the cartel to put you in their crosshairs?"

"Yes."

"Are you fearful for your life?"

"No."

Shooting of Cedrick Chatman released - Group 1 - 17 year old shot and killed by police officer

Shooting of Cedrick Chatman released - Group 1 - 17 year old shot and killed by police officer

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On a sunny January afternoon in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood three years ago, two plainclothes police officers pulled up to a silver Dodge Charger that dispatchers said had been taken in a violent carjacking a few blocks away.

Suddenly, 17-year-old Cedrick Chatman jumped out of the driver's seat and ran, with one officer in hot pursuit and the other cutting across 75th Street with his gun drawn. With cars waiting at the light and people strolling down the sidewalk, Officer Kevin Fry took a shooting stance in the middle of the street and unloaded four shots, fatally striking the teen in the side.

As Chatman turned a corner and collapsed in the street, two pedestrians who had nearly walked into the line of fire turned and ran in a panic down Jeffery Avenue. Meanwhile, Fry's partner, Officer Lou Toth, placed handcuffs on Chatman's motionless body and stood with a foot on his back, waiting for the paramedics to arrive.

The harrowing scene - which took just seconds to unfold - was captured on surveillance videos released Thursday after a federal judge blasted lawyers for Mayor Rahm Emanuel for abruptly reversing the city's opposition to making the footage public.

Attorneys for Chatman's family have said the videos contradict statements from police that Chatman had turned and pointed a dark object at police as he ran, prompting Fry to fire in fear of his life and that of his partner. The object turned out to be a black iPhone box.

But unlike the now-infamous dash-cam video of the Laquan McDonald shooting, the videos in the Chatman case, obtained from a police surveillance camera as well as cameras outside a convenience store and by South Shore High School, are dark and somewhat indistinct, showing mostly distant views of the shooting.

While various angles from the videos clearly show Chatman fleeing police, it's difficult to tell whether his blurred figure - covered at times by shadows cast from buildings on 75th Street - turned toward the officers before he was shot.

The controversy over the Chatman case erupted just days after video of McDonald being shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke went viral, sparking protests and leading to the forced resignations of both police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and Scott Ando, who headed the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates police shootings.

Both incidents involved a white police officer shooting a black suspect. In Chatman's case, however, IPRA concluded the officers' actions were justified because they reasonably believed Chatman was armed at the time.

That finding, however, overruled the opinion of Lorenzo Davis, the IPRA supervisor who headed up the Chatman probe. Last year, Davis filed a federal lawsuit alleging he was fired for concluding that officers in several shootings - including Chatman's - were not justified in using lethal force.

Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez - who filed murder charges against Van Dyke - declined to consider criminal charges against Fry and Toth, records show. Neither officer was ever disciplined, and both remain on active street duty.

Amid the widening scandal over police misconduct, the Emanuel administration had argued for months that releasing the Chatman videos could inflame the public and jeopardize a fair trial in the family's lawsuit.

In a surprise court filing Wednesday, though, the city abruptly dropped its opposition, citing the ongoing work of the mayor's Task Force on Police Accountability, which is expected to issue recommendations in March on the city's long-standing policy of keeping police shooting videos from the public.

In lifting the protective order on the footage Thursday, an irritated U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman said he was "very disturbed" about the city's sudden about-face. The judge also said the city had been disingenuous in its previous arguments that the videos would not be part of any pretrial motions and therefore should be barred from public view.

"I went to a lot of trouble to decide this issue, and then I get this motion last night saying that this is the Age of Enlightenment with the city and we're going to be transparent," Gettleman said. "I think it's irresponsible."

Before Gettleman ruled on the motion, Jonathan Green, an assistant corporation counsel, told the judge the city is being forced to adapt to "a new world" in which new technologies and the public demand for information on police shootings have taken precedence over the city's policy to keep evidence in pending cases under wraps.

In the meantime, Green said, the city had decided that in this case "the public's right to disclosure" outweighed concerns over jeopardizing a fair trial.

"We are making a policy change on behalf of the people of Chicago," Green said.

After court, Brian Coffman, who represents Chatman's family, said the family was suspicious of the timing of the city's about-face. He said Green's unusual "speech" in court showed how the city was "really trying to control the message."

"The city of Chicago has had not only the last month and a half, they've had over the last 21/2 years to be transparent in this case," Coffman said.

Hours after the hearing ended, the city's Law Department released the video footage as well as hours of police radio traffic from the day of the shooting. Hundreds of pages of police reports were expected to be released by the city Friday.

The incident began shortly after 1:30 p.m. Jan. 7, 2013, when 911 callers reported a large fight and then a carjacking at 76th and Essex streets, about a mile east of where Chatman was shot.

At 1:44 p.m., a distraught-sounding man reported to dispatchers that a group of men and women had attacked him in his vehicle, taken his shoes and $400 cash from his pockets and stolen the car, according to the recordings released by the city.

"There was so many of them," the victim, 28, said on the recording. "They all came out of the same house. ...They dragged me out of my car. Oh, God."

Fry and Toth, meanwhile, had been on routine patrol when they said they spotted the Charger rolling through a stop sign at 75th and Essex. They ran the car's Wisconsin license plates, but the car came back clean, and they didn't stop it at the time. When the call came over the radio minutes later about the carjacking, they doubled back and caught up with Chatman at the intersection with Jeffery Avenue.

The surveillance videos show Chatman bailing out of the car almost as soon as Toth and Fry get out of their unmarked Ford Crown Victoria. As the short foot chase ensued, the Charger, which was still in gear, could be seen on the videos rolling forward through the intersection.

After the shooting, Pat Camden, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police, told reporters that the officers had reason to believe Chatman was armed because of the carjacking call. Camden said Chatman had appeared to reach for something in the passenger seat before bolting from the car. During the short foot chase, one of the officers yelled to the other, "'He's got something in his hand,'" Camden said.

"The guy turns. The officer, at that point, in fear of his life, thinking the object could have been a gun, fires and hits the individual," Camden said.

In their 2014 depositions in the wrongful death lawsuit, however, both Fry and Toth testified they didn't see Chatman reach for anything before he bailed from the car. They also acknowledged neither yelled to the other during the brief chase. And Fry said under oath that while he saw Chatman "make a subtle turn to the right" as he neared the corner, he never actually pointed anything in their direction.

"He had a small, black object, which I believed to be a handgun," Fry testified, according to court records. "It was - it extended in front of his body."

When Mark Smolens, an attorney for the Chatman family, asked if he said anything to Chatman before opening fire, Fry answered, "No, I felt that his threat was such that I didn't have time to say anything."

"But he never pointed anything at you or Officer Toth on Jan. 7, 2013, correct?" Smolens asked, according to the transcript.

"Correct," Fry answered.

Davis, who viewed the surveillance video as part of his IPRA inquiry, told the Tribune in November he did not see Chatman aim at or turn toward the officers, leading him to conclude the shooting was unjustified.

"Cedrick was just running as the shots were fired," Davis said. "You're taught that deadly force is a last resort and that you should do everything in your power to apprehend the person before you use deadly force. I did not see where deadly force was called for at that time."

His conclusion in the case was reversed after a supervisor, Joshua Hunt, reviewed Davis' work and accused him of being sloppy in his investigation. According to IPRA records released to the Tribune last month as part of an open-records request, Hunt noted in his review that Davis made a "blatant and troubling omission" by not mentioning that the video shows Chatman raising his arm with the "dark object" in his hand toward Toth.

"The video supports Officer Fry's observation that (Chatman) was pointing a firearm at Officer Toth," Hunt wrote.

The case was then reassigned to another investigator, who ultimately exonerated Fry.

Ten Yemenis released by the United States from prison in Guantanamo Bay have arrived in Oman, the Gulf monarchy's state news agency reported on Thursday, citing an official of its foreign ministry.

The men will remain in Oman for humanitarian reasons until their transfer back to Yemen, which is gripped by civil war, the Oman News Agency reported.

In December, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter told Congress his department would transfer a wave of detainees from the prison in Cuba at the beginning of 2016.

Pentagon officials have said transfers were expected soon and were likely to bring the number of foreign fighters in the prison below 100. Four detainees have already been moved from the prison this month.

President Barack Obama, who campaigned on a pledge to close the prison, views it as a damaging symbol of detainee abuse and detention without charge that was inherited from Republican President George W. Bush.

However, his efforts to close it have been hindered by fierce opposition in Congress and difficulties in transferring detainees to countries that were unwilling to accept them or provide adequate security guarantees.

A U.S. official confirmed the transfer on Thursday, bringing the inmate population below the symbolically important milestone of 100 as President Barack Obama seeks to close the facility.

The transfer reduces Guantanamo's inmate population to 93, the lowest level since Obama took office in 2009 promising to shut the internationally condemned prison.

The physical education teacher accompanied 10 students from the St.-Exupery school in Lyon to a part of Les Deux Alpes ski resort that has been closed off since the start of the ski season -- at first due to lack of snow, then due to a high avalanche risk -- Grenoble prosecutor Jean-Yves Coquillat said.

Many signs and a safety net had been put up to keep people off the course. Yet the students and their teacher went over that net, said Coquillat, who noted that backcountry or off-piste skiing itself is not a crime.

The teacher, who is not a ski instructor, was among those caught up in Wednesday's avalanche, and was still in the hospital one day later with non-life-threatening injuries.

A 16-year-old girl was found dead on the closed ski slope, while a 14-year-old boy died after being transferred to a hospital. Another person outside the student group -- a Ukrainian skier, who appeared to be alone -- also died.

Some 80 military personnel, police and dog search-and-rescue teams converged on the site Wednesday afternoon, with authorities initially fearing that one person was still missing in addition to the three dead. But Coquillat made clear Thursday there were only three dead.

1 teacher denied students' request to ski closed slope

The very steep, expert-level slope where they were killed sat about 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) above sea level, Gilles Strappazzon, an official in the regional Isère government, told CNN affiliate BFMTV.

It also was in an area that was under a Level 3 (of a five-level scale) avalanche risk, meaning there was an above-average possibility of ruptures at high altitudes. This danger was compounded by the fact some 33 centimeters (13 inches) of fresh snow had fallen that day, a notable amount following a relatively dry and mild December.

The students involved in the avalanche were among 19 from St.-Exupery, and were accompanied by three teachers. Three of the students spent the day at a hotel while the other six skied less challenging runs. One teacher who rebuffed the 10 students' morning request to go onto the banned slope spent the afternoon at the hotel, while the teacher now facing charges then accompanied the more advanced student skiers, Coquillat said.

One person who belonged to a group of 15 Romanians and Hungarians who'd been backcountry skiing at the site expressed fears to police that they might have unknowingly set off the avalanche.

Authorities are still investigating the exact cause, as well as the teachers' roles. They plan to question the two other St.-Exupery teachers, other witnesses and surviving students who were found in shock but unharmed, according to the prosecutor. Those students were skiing on a different side of the closed slope when the avalanche struck and are now back in Lyon.

CNN's Greg Botelho reported and wrote from Atlanta, and CNN's Aurore Gayte reported from Paris.

Walmart is closing 269 stores, more than half of them in the U.S. and another big chunk in its challenging Brazilian market.

The stores being shuttered account for a fraction of the company's 11,000 stores worldwide and less than 1 percent of its global revenue.

More than 95 percent of the stores set to be closed in the U.S. are within 10 miles of another Walmart. The Bentonville, Arkansas, company said it is working to ensure that workers are placed in nearby locations.

The store closures will start at the end of the month.

The announcement comes three months after Walmart Stores Inc. CEO Doug McMillon told investors that the world's largest retailer would review its fleet of stores with the goal of becoming more nimble in the face of increased competition from all fronts, including from online rival Amazon.com.

"Actively managing our portfolio of assets is essential to maintaining a healthy business," McMillon said in a statement. "Closing stores is never an easy decision. But it is necessary to keep the company strong and positioned for the future."

Walmart operates 4,500 in the U.S. Its global workforce is 2.2 million, 1.4 million in the U.S. alone.

Walmart has warned that its earnings for the fiscal year starting next month will be down as much as 12 percent as it invests further in online operations and pours money into improving customers' experience.

Of the closures announced Friday, 154 locations will be in the U.S., including the company's 102 smallest-format stores called Walmart Express, which were opened as a test in 2011.

Walmart Express marked the retailer's first entry into the convenience store arena. The stores are about 12,000 square feet and sell essentials like toothpaste. But the concept never caught on as the stores served the same purpose as Walmart's larger Neighborhood Markets: fill-in trips and prescription pickups.

Also covered in the closures are 23 Neighborhood Markets, 12 supercenters, seven stores in Puerto Rico, six discount stores and four Sam's Clubs.

Walmart will now focus in the U.S. on supercenters, Neighborhood Markets, the e-commerce business and pickup services for shoppers.

The retailer is closing 60 loss-making locations in Brazil, which account for 5 percent of sales in that market. Walmart, which operated 558 stores in Brazil before the closures, has struggled as the economy there has soured. Its Every Day Low price strategy has also not been able to break against heavy promotions from key rivals.

The remaining 55 stores are spread elsewhere in Latin America.

Walmart said that it's still sticking to its plan announced last year to open 50 to 60 supercenters, 85 to 95 Neighborhood Markets and 7 to 10 Sam's Clubs in the U.S. during the fiscal year that begins Feb. 1. Outside the U.S., Walmart plans to open 200 to 240 stores.

The financial impact of the closures is expected to be 20 cents to 22 cents per diluted earnings per share from continuing operations with about 19 cents to 20 cents expected to affect the current fourth quarter. The company is expected to release fourth quarter and full year results on Feb. 18.

Shares of Walmart Stores Inc. fell $1.12, or 1.7 percent, to 61.94 in morning trading.

The bus was carrying 41 people to popular ski resort Kita Shiga in Yamanouchi Town when it crashed near the town of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, according to local police. Twenty-seven people were injured.

It's not known what caused the accident; images from the scene showed no snow on the road and conditions were dry at the time of the crash, police said.

The bus operating company has a record of drivers' safety violations and is now under investigation, said ministry officials. It had received a penalty and vehicle suspension only two days previously.

Most of the passengers were aged from eighteen to early twenties according to travel agency Keyth, which advertises itself as offering cheap bus tours to popular resorts.

The overnight bus left Tokyo Thursday night and was carrying 39 people and two drivers.

The U.S. Coast Guard searched Friday for two Marine helicopters that collided with 12 people on board near the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

Search conditions were challenging because of darkness and high surf, Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Sara Mooers told Los Angeles radio station KNX-AM. She said a high surf advisory was in effect for waves 10 to 15 feet building throughout the morning.

Coast Guard District 14 told CBS News the debris field included an empty life raft and fire on the water.

The transport helicopters each had a crew of six from Marine Corps Base Hawaii and crashed just before midnight Thursday, officials said. No other passengers were aboard the CH-53E "Super Stallions," which came from the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Capt. Timothy Irish said.

The aircraft were taking part in a nighttime training mission. It's unclear what caused the crash.

A Coast Guard helicopter and C-130 airplane spotted the debris field 2 1/2 miles offshore early Friday. The debris covers an area of 2 miles, Irish said.

The search includes aircraft from the Navy and Air Force, a Honolulu Fire Department rescue boat and Coast Guard cutters, officials said.

"It is a true search-and-rescue effort, and it is ongoing," Irish said just before daybreak on Oahu, where a steady rain was falling on the North Shore.

The collision comes less than a year after the Marine Corps' new hybridized airplane-and-helicopter aircraft crashed during a training exercise, killing two Marines. The MV-22 Osprey went down last May with 21 Marines and a Navy corpsman on board. In 2011, one serviceman was killed and three others were injured when a CH-53D Sea Stallion chopper crashed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.

Chipotle is shutting down all of its stores nationwide for a few hours next month to hold a national staff meeting about food safety.

The meeting will occur on February 8 and the company's more than 1,900 restaurants will take part.

Chipotle said the meeting would provide an opportunity to thank employees, discuss changes and answer questions.

Chipotle has suffered from several outbreaks of E. coli, Salmonella and norovirus that infected customers and led to an unrelenting stream of criticism and mockery on social media.

Customers have posted photos of Chipotle meals and joked about getting infected with E. coli or norovirus.

Before the outbreaks, Chipotle had cultivated a loyal following with its adoption of non-GMO standards and other health conscious initiatives.

And investors loved the stock. At the height of its popularity, Chipotle's stock was at a high of about $750. It has since plummeted to as low as $428 a share -- a 42% drop.

Raw Ingredients: The unprocessed story of where your food comes from

The trouble began in August when 64 customers in Minnesota were infected with Salmonella and about 100 people were struck by norovirus in southern California.

These infections were followed by an E. coli outbreak in October and November that affected 53 people in nine states.

In December, Chipotle suffered from two more outbreaks. Roughly 140 students at Boston college were infected with norovirus and a second new incidence of E. coli broke out affecting five people in three states.

Why your food might not be as safe as you think

The trouble didn't end with the outbreaks however. Customers have sued Chipotle and the company was recently served with a subpoena by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigations.

The company has also projected a drop in sales. Chipotle said it thinks the recent outbreaks will end up costing between $14 million and $16 million.

CEO Steve Ells said earlier this week that he was "hopeful" the Centers for Disease Control would soon declare that the outbreaks were over.

"We know that Chipotle is as safe as it's ever been before," Ells said on Jan. 13 at a conference in Orlando.

Related: Can Chipotle come back from E. coli outbreak?

He said Chipotle is planning to lure back customers with a new marketing campaign in February.

Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold said there hasn't been an E. coli case in two months. Since then, the company says it's been serving a million customers a day "without incident."

Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the number of Chipotle stores.
