air-conditioning. the effort is called super cool biz. quite a slogan. go to our web site for more. don't forget, tonight on 8:00 p.m. eastern and pacific, "restoring the american dream: how to innovate." i will see you all next week. you're in the cnn newsroom. it's sunday, june 5. i'm martin savage in for fred riee ri rickricka whitfield. a day marking the anniversary of the syria war. 20 people were killed, more than 325 hurt. elsewhere, in syria, more violence today in that

month-long anti-government uprising. human rights groups say 25 protesters have been killed since yesterday when syrians fired into a crowd of protestors. that same group said more than 80 people died. a volatile situation in yemen. their president flew to saudi arabia for a medical condition. what have you learned? >> well, marty, as we know, president solis flew to saudi arabia after the main tribe fighting his government troops stormed the palace, and not only injured president solis but the speaker of parliament. it was a bad scene yesterday. but today we understand that president solis did receive some very bad severe bruises, burns

from u.s. officials telling us he also received shrapnel wounds, so we're not sure if his condition is life threatening but certainly very serious, marty. >> obviously his condition could determine whether or not he returns, but say he does become healthy again, is this a temporary leave of absence or is he gone for good? >> from my understanding from sources of yemen, they don't have any anticipation that he won't be back. this is just like in the united states when the president undergoes surgery or some other medical procedure and is conscious that he will provide leadership when he's better. this would basically have him resign on elections in the country. he's supposed to transfer power to the vice president, so the saudis are really putting a lot of pressure on him. and now that he's in saudi arabia, we understand they will be urging him to step down. we understand there is a truce right now. we've seen over the last couple

days the government troops and the troops of ali mar have been fighting at the capitol, and this led to the skirmish yesterday. we understand the president has offered a truce to ali mar, so we see it pretty quiet, but the future of the president is unclear at this point. >> there seems to be jubilant celebration, so they seem to think this is somehow a permanent change. >> i think it's a little bit of wishful thinking. right now president solis' family is in control of the minister of the interior and other ministers. although we understand there has been this truce, and we understand that president solis has transferred power temporarily, i think it's a little bit of wishful thinking right now that this is the end of president solis. u.s. officials anticipate he won't be back, but in yemen

they're saying he's not going anywhere, and he's just as much in control now as he was when he was in the country. >> real quick, we want to talk about the violence we've seen on the syria border. what's going on today? >> we saw there was a lot of protests because of the anniversary of the six-day war. there's been gunfire, people trying to cross the border from syria into israel, and israel has been firing warning shots. this is related to what we've been seeing going on in the capital of damascus and all the protests going on against preside presidenti alistad saying if you're not going to support me, i can make trouble outside the country. so it seems if he's not masterminding it, he's certainly encouraging it, because nobody can get over the border without his permission. >> we'll talk a little later about new developments

surrounding al-obeidy. this is the woman who claimed syrian troops had gang raped her. she was deported back to libya. well, we're told she's on the move again. we will have the details on where she's headed. that will be at 4:00 p.m. eastern time. it is his last trip to afghanistan as defense secretary. robert gates spoke to u.s. troops today in cannkandahar answering questions about the war and this summer's questions about afghanistan. then it got personal. >> i just want you to know i think about you every day. i feel your hardship and your sacrifice and your burden and that of your families more than you can possibly know. you are, i believe, the best our country has to offer, and you

earth warms unnaturally the more frequent storms we're going to have and the more extreme storms we're going to have. but i think this year in particular, while we've had a lot of extremes, a lot of records broken, tornadoes, floods as well as droutghts, its hard to pinpoint and say that. it's been above average in part of the south. mexico water temperatures have been very warm, so all the moisture has been coming up from the south, connecting with that dryer, cooler air from the north and then we have a very strong jet stream that's been riding in and bringing these storms in. so some of those things together with extreme drought kind of combine to make these major tornado outbreaks we've been having. tuscaloosa, they had five ef-5

tornadoes. >> i don't remember having so many back to back. is that an indication of something here? >> right now my thinking is it has more to do with the fact that they've hit populated areas. >> that's just the luck of the draw? >> ef-5 is the damage scale. so an ef-5 could hit nothing and you don't know it was an ef-5. it actually has to hit something to be able to analyze how strong the storms actually were. this has been a record year. we've had about 1300 reports of tornadoes so far. in an average year we have about 1274. we've got seven months to go and we're already way above. what is striking is the number of deaths we've this this year, and that's 522. that's the worst we've seen since reliable records have been kept since 1950. we know there were more deadly tornadoes, like 1925, but the fatalities this year has been terrible. >> having seen it firsthand, yeah.

jacqui, thank you very much. this spring's flooding has had deadly impact. thousands of people are losing homes and farms. but a lot of the weather has separated families from the pets they love. >> meet the latest victim made homeless by the flood. the humane society in vicksburg these days is pretty noisy and busy. >> i don't know who it belongs to, but it was pulled out of the water. >> the 2011 mississippi flood has georgia lynn and her staff of volunteers looking after a modern day noah's ark. goats, miniature horses, cats, dogs, chickens and cherokee, a sweet tea-swigging ma inin inin. >> how did this habit begin?

>> she's one of the smartest animals in the world. >> georgia began taking them in for free. >> their lives get ripped apart. >> the same floods pushing pets into shelters are pushing wild animals into places they normally wouldn't be. the images can be startling and amazing. critters and creatures of all sorts just as scared as humans trying to get to high ground. to find out where the wild things are -- >> it's not graceful to get in there. i promise you, it's not. >> charles gross of mississippi wildlife and fisheries head out into the flood. >> a lot of the animals are very stressed out. >> it wasn't long before i was feeling some stress. >> some animals have never seen a human. they're curious. some are going to be afraid of us. there he goes.

now, considering he's about average size. >> and then there are the snakes. >> we've been also telling people be mindful of what's over here because the snakes don't swim, that don't like water, copperheads and things like that, they're trying to get ahead of the water. a lot of them were stuck in trees that weren't able to get down, they're going to be hungry. >> georgia is kmfrtd comforted fact that most of her animals will leave with their owners as the waters recede, and others are alarmed by the animals that have moved in while they were gone. >> there is also a new concern because the flood of the missouri river is just starting. other areas upstream could send high waters back to those areas along the mississippi that have already flooded, and yes, moran

prosecution that's going to do this defendant in. and the very point that's been made, well, when she takes the stand and puts her hand on the bible, let me tell you something. a lot of people dag with thi disagree with this, richelle, but they're going to have to put casey anthony on the stand, at the very least, because the jury sees something wrong with her. they have to prove, in order to get the premeditated murder, that casey anthony was the one who put the duct tape on her mouth and nose. they cannot prove that, they will not be able to prove that, they do not have a cause of death in this case, and they should not put her on the stand because the jury is going to hate her worse and she's going to get convicted and probably get sentenced to death. they have to save her for the mitigation phase. >> you can catch our legal guys every saturday at noon eastern time. also tomorrow dominic

you have probably heard about sourcing jobs, but have you ever heard about sourcing your computer programs? the latest innovation is called cloud computing. >> reporter: onlive is a gaming service with a difference. you're playing games on your computer, but the game isn't actually running on your computer. it's running on a computer back at onlive data center. you're playing the game by remote, sending commands to a computer far away which streams the video games back to you. that means you don't need a powerful computer to play the latest game, just a screen and an internet connection. onlive is part of a popular movement in the technology industry. it's called cloud computing. sounds futuristic, but what is it? >> cloud computing is like outsourcing. it's very much like what manufacturers say here in the

u.s. do with tasks, you know, like producing goods and services. why should you have to store everything locally and process everything locally when with faster internet speeds, you could rely on the far greater processing power or storage space available at some off-line site? >> it's very likely you've been doing some cloud computing without even knowing it. flicker, an on-line photo library. hotmail has been hosting an on-line cloud since 1996. by keeping all of this in one place means phones and tablets can have access to the same information. you.n don't need to store any o that information from these devices. you just grab them over the internet. but what happens when your internet connection fails? >> one of the great abilities of cloud computing is that all of

this is built on the assumption that internet speeds will remain fast and that connectivity will we main reliable. and anybody who has ever walked around in san francisco or new york with an iphone knows you can't always count on mobile data being fast or reliable. >> another worry about cloud computing is security. you're willingly handing over your information to another company, and relying on somebody else can cost you. when someone at amazon.com suffered an outage, the shift to the cloud was coming. >> they're set to go on sale. they are remarkable because they contain just 16 gigabytes of storage space. they are designed to live remotely under the server.

cloud through paying for data services on my cell phone or paying the fees that are supposed to be associated with these cloud music services over the long run. >> we pointed out apple coming out tomorrow with this icloud. tell us exactly what it is and how is it different from the other music programs that are out there cloudwise? >> we don't know fundamentally. of course, this is apple and they like to keep things secret until the very last minute when steve jobs walks out on stage. we are supposed to believe it is a music streaming service. we're told they've done deals with all the major music labels. the big question is, are they going to be allowing us to upload all of our music or give us access to all of our itunes music in the cloud, or is it just going to be music that we've already bought on itunes?

that's what we don't know yet. if it's the former, i think it would be a really formidable cloud service. the other rumor is it will cost $20 per year. that i'm also not sure about. i think itune users will balk at having to pay for this stuff twice when they already have it on their ipods. >> what about using cloud technology otherwise? >> oh, otherwise, absolutely. there is a great service called drop box that i use to store just about everything that i want to send to other people. it's a very good transmission device. it's a very good way of backing up your data and it's a very good way of keeping your documents safe for all time, really, as you move from computer to computer. i just think the music is a little bit different. it's a little more personal than all these things. we'll have to wait and see. >> i think a lot of people will be waiting and seeing.

after developing tropping the k school, it all changed. >> we were ambushed. our windows were smashed and we were pulled from the karat gunpoint. my brain didn't even have time to register what was actually happening. >> reporter: a group of gunmen attacked their car. they let jane go but took her husband. they left the message, if you ever want to see your husband again, give us $8 million. >> they thought i had a lot of money cash that i could give them. and i did not. >> reporter: his father used to own a chain of newspapers, and the kidnappers thought there was a lot of family money. when they couldn't come up with the ransom fast enough, the brutal beatings began. and as time passed, the beatings became even more violent. the captain shot him in the leg and in the arm. >> there were many times i wanted to lose it, but as a

mother, that's too much of a luxury going through something like that. you have to be strong yor your kids. >> eduardo stayed strong despite torturous conditions. they made him stand up with music blarg and lights on 24 hours a day. >> when they realized no amount of torture was going to produce the $8 million they wanted, they began to scale down their demand. the money they finally accepted for edwarduardeduardo's release closely guarded secret. he came home seven months after being in captivity. >> so see him there, and to feel this human being that was really cold, like a corpse.
