had enough from both lawyers on both sides here. what are they doing frustrating him so much? >> the big violation on the part of jose baez, who is the lead defense counsel for casey anthony, he is not turning over all the information that he wants his experts to testify to. there were a lot of pretrial hearings in this case. we have had three years of hearings leading up to the trial, and in february it came to a head and judge perry signed an order and what he said was okay, guys, both sides are playing games, so i am being fair here, and i will put this order out and it applies to everybody. if you want an expert to testify to something, they have to render an report and this is my opinion and what i am basing it on, and baez is turning over reports and when they get on the stand he is asking them questions that were not in the

report, a clear violation. >> what about the anthropologists, regarding what he had to say about duct tape? >> yeah, he started to testify saturday morning and went on about the bones, and that's fine, and that's his opinion and what he is qualified as an expert in, but when baez tried to get into the duct tape and the placement of the duct tape, and this is critical because the prosecution is alleging the duct tape was the murder weapon, and mr. baez wanted them to testify it could not have been around the head. he's not an expert in that type of thing and therefore the paus cuter rightfully said judge this is in violation of the order. in his opinion, he said he was going to talk about the bones and not the duct tape. this is the central in the case, was that the murder weapon. >> what do we expect the defense to present this week? do we think casey anthony will take the stand? >> we know that she doesn't have to. the defense does not have to put

her up. she has the fifth amendment right to stay silent that we hear about in all the tv shows, but since they promised in opening in the big bombshell where the baby drowned and she was sexually abused, she is the only one that can testify to that, so she has to take the stand and testify about it if they want to prove that what they said in those deliberations. >> is it fast for all the presentation for the defense to be done in one week? >> it is. the prosecution is the one who has the burden of proof. they have to present so much evidence that they can say beyond a reasonable doubt we have proven her guilty. all the defense needs to do is poke holes in all the work the prosecution has done. all they need is one to hang the jury and they cannot get a

the violence in syria is forcing refugees across the border. we look at what this conflict means for syria's youngest refugee. >> reporter: this baby was born a refugee. he's just a day old and is named after the turkish prime minister. his parents say it's out of gratitude to the country they believe saved them from imminent death in their homeland. his father who did not want to be filmed angrily states it's better to die in turkey than a syria ruled country. this man is 103 years older than the baby. after a few questions about his life, he starts to cry. he is from one of the towns that has been the focal point of the military crackdown in recent

weeks. thousands of refugees streamed into turkey, and the media until now kept away from them. the authorities allowed the press's limited access to the refugees in the camp on a carefully coordinated tour. we are able to break away and hear some of the stories of survival. this 4--day-old baby's uncle said he was born on the border before an ambulance can arrive that will and this 9-year-old says she remembers the gun fire and could see smoke before her family fled. row upon row is terrified families. most fled with just the clothes on their backs. the refugees are provided with food, water and other basics. as the tour progresses, a small demonstration. chants of "thank you, turkey,"

coupled with cries of "people want the downfall of the regime." and the children cheer anti-government slogans. all the parents that we spoke to tell us they dream of going home but a dream that cannot be realized they say until asaid leaves. >> it's not just a problem in syria. globally the number people of forced out fr their homes is now at a 15-year high. that's according to a new report from the united nations. michael holmes goes beyond the headlines. it looks like a worldwide epidemic. what is taking place? >> we'll break down the numbers for you. people don't realize how big the problem is. this report was released in honor of world refugee day. the numbers are astonishing. the united nations calls them

forcibly displaced people. that's the tag they have given the victims of persecution. now by the end of 2010, the u.n. estimates that 43.7 million people worldwide have been forced out of their homes by war, disaster, persecution, and that sort of thing. that's more than the entire population of california. twice the population of australia. that gives you an idea of the scale of the problem. it's huge. and many are forced to leave their home or country, and 75%, idp, the people forced out of their homes but remain within their country's borders. >> what are they running from? >> all kinds of things. there is a whole bunch of different reasons. they are trying to escape, say,

a natural disaster. a war, often. or being purse kautd, race, religion, social groups. i remember being in jordon and doing a story of hundreds of iraqi refugees putting stresses in that country. one thing that ties all these people together is they lost everything. >> where are they going to? >> they are from the world over, really. can you find adps and refugees from any part of the world. but afghans account for one-third of the refugees. iraqis are up there as well. somalis, as well. and as for where they are going? this is the problem. some of the poorest countries end up hosting huge refugee populations. jordon, for example, they cannot afford to be hosting 1 million iraqi refugees. talk about pakistan, and iran, and syria, they host the most

overall, essentially, you know, these are people flooding into sometimes developing country that cannot support them and it's a recipe for disaster. >> is there anything that we can do to help people who are in the situation? >> it's a tough call. because a lot of these people are so desperate. they fled from the horrors. they are stuck. the refugee agency are in there helping to get water and food and education and health care in many cases. you see the local red crescent societies, and the most recent version of the red cross. all of these people looking for volunteers. donations, really, giving food and clothing doesn't work, but money works because it can be put to work quickly. go to www.unhd.org and find out more about lending a hand. >> thank you for shining a

is that true? we have been putting some of the quotes through the truth-o-meter. angie, tell us about this one from debby wasserman schultz. she said the obama administration has cut taxes on small businesses 17 times. true or false? what do we know? >> we rated this one mostly true. there are 17 tax cuts, about half were in the stimulus, and the other half approximately were in a small business jobs bill. so mostly true because some of them apply to all businesses, not just small businesses. >> republican representative and presidential candidate, michele bachmann has been going after president obama. she said when he was a u.s. senator, barack obama refused to raise the debt ceiling because he said president bush had failed in leadership. what do we know?

>> we rated this one true. both parties have played politics with the vote on the debt ceiling, and back when george w. bush was president obama voted with most democrats against the debt -- raising the debt ceiling. so true. >> okay. a true. all right. and this comment from another republican presidential candidate. he says obama has put up a stop sign against oil drilling, offshore or in alaska? >> we rated this one false. it's just not the case. during the pb oil spill, there was a moratorium, but the permitting has continued, and more than 40 since february of the deep water permits, so we rated this one false. >> angie, thank you for keeping them honest. happy monday morning, huh?

responses. hi, carol. >> the talkback question today what if anything is to be gained with the united states holding talks with the taliban. this from michael. we should not negotiate, talk or have anything to do with the taliban. this is absurd. we do not -- i thought we did not negotiate with terrorists? what is going on today in america? this from henry. as distasteful as it is to make deals wtd enemy, and we choose to wage war and it has lasted far longer than any of us dreamed. let's de-escalate. talking with an enemy is better than fighting with an enemy. this from chase, talk k is better than fighting, and those that feel otherwise are welcome to go over and do it themselves. the fact that the current administration made this choice sheds light on how well the war

is really progressing. please keep the conversation going. facebook.com/carolcnn. >> some people say, look, you know, how many taliban really are willing to talk now? there's a program, like 20,000 taliban insurgents, and 1,700 said we will give up our weapons, and how do we know if it's the bad guys or people with guns trying to take advantage of the program? it's hard to say. >> you don't know who to trust. who leads the two groups of taliban. are they the leaders, or do they just want something from the united states or the afghan government. can you trust hamid karzi to really negotiate with the taliban in a responsible way that would help the united states as well as his own hide? we don't know. >> good point, carol. every once in a while he says he

will join the taliban. you can't tell which side he is on. very good point. >> he has said so many glowing things about the united states lately. >> yeah, true. >> thank you, and appreciate it. financing later in life comes from what you learn at an early age. there is a homeless single parent who somehow still found a way to teach his kids. their story inspired a hollywood movie. >> don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. >> you will recognize him perhaps as played by will smith in "the pursuit of happyness." even after the hollywood ending, chris gardener did not rest on his laurels. every day he is hoping to pass on what he has learned. >> you know what? i learned so much about money

now your choose news winner. the nuclear crisis takes it' toll on one of the prized exports, green tea. japan's green tea field sits gracefully as a harvest is under way, but a growing radiation panic brews below the hills. i'm really worried says the farmer, just west of the fields, radiation was found on tea leaves exceeding government standards. third generation tea farmer doesn't understand how it could happen here in this prefecture. south of tokyo, and 400 kilometers away from the crippled nuclear plant. we farmers can accept natural disasters, adding the nuclear

meltdown is man made impacting his livelihood. japan's economy and global image, its unfair he says, and fair or not, the government banned green tea from four prefectur prefectures. it has crippled the entire country's tea exports. one that primarily goes to high-end buyers in the u.s. and europe and has seen a massive droppoff in orders since the disaster began. >> that's the nature of the beast. when people are fearful, they will not buy your products no matter how often you tell them they will be safe. this is an on going struggle. >> even japanese shoppers are more reluctant to consume the national drink. we need to have access to all the information, says the shopper, a little more skeptical

before she buys. and the current government regulations regarding radiation don't make sense. let's say this is radiation contaminated green tea, you have to eat this amount of green tea leaves every day for an entire year before you come close to hurting your health, and that's the equivalent of about 200 bottles of green tea that you have to drink every day for an entire year. >> there are many tea lovers that they cannot drink good quality tea because of stupid irregularlation. if it changed it would be a no tea ban. >> it could be too late for this harvest, and the farmers who say their precious export and profits will have gone down the drain.
