for men. listen to me, men don't read. when is the last time, piers, you have been in a bubble bath with some candles lit. >> yeah. >> and a book and a glass of wine. >> reading about love and relationships. >> you? >> it has never happened. have you done it? it is never going to happen. >> if you do, that is not your man. >> i love it. steve harvey, you are a genius. >> great interview. i loved it, man. >> thank you. >> i loved it, brother. good evening, everyone, i'm don lemon and we have a developing story. two nuclear power plants along the missouri in danger of severe damage in the path of a historic flood, and we know from japan what a massive flood can do to a knew leek plant. i want you to look at the calhoun power plant north of nebraska. you can see the missouri river

lapping at the doorstep. it was shutdown earlier todayf a barrier protecting the fort calhoun plant from the flooding collapsed. sound familiar? and the other plant in danger is a short ways from fort calhoun and we are talking about the cooper nuclear power station. that is where we find tonight's cnn's patrick ottman. patrick, a very serious situation. >> reporter: it is. and really a remarkable situation, don. let me explain to you sh, don, are outside of the cooper nuclear power plant and the missouri river is ten feet above what it usually would be. it is very concerning for the officials here and another three feet, and they are required to shutdown the plant. they don't believe it is going to happen, don, because they have fail safe mechanisms here and obviously flooding is different than a tsunami like in japan. we were all at the plant today and seeing the preparations. the fail savf safes include berd

the missouri river is literally lapping at the levee outside of the plant. 100 miles to the north of us, a different situation, don, as the fort calhoun plant that you mentioned they are on generator power today and they had to go off of the grid because of the flooding. today, a large aqua mote, and this is sort of an inflatable barrier they set up around the plant was ruptured by a worker. this is a 3/4 mile long structure around the plant. that was ruptured and the officials still say there is no cause for concern. they have a lot of the backups and the contingencies, and there is no cause for concern here, but obviously, some deterioration in the safety around that particular plant. a lot of people hoping that the flooding will go down, don, and it is a question of when there is more to come. >> and the developing story, two

nuclear power plants along the missouri river likely to be damaged. we have been telling you about the damage in minot, north dakota, and this is probably as bad as it will get there, and thousands of homes are already lost which is a blow to the town. we will take you for a closer look this hour, but minot is the beginning of what is going to be a catastrophic summer for countless communities along the rivers. over the coming weeks flooding on the missouri river is going to be unlike any in recent history. al leexander steel from the wear center, and it is unprecedent and walk us through it. >> absolutely. it is a dichotomy we have seen around the country. the northern tier inundated with rain last spring and the winter snow melt erupting and exacerbating the flooding concerns, and then the southern tier of the country, incredibly parched and places like texas in the 100-degree territories and the devastating drought so that the dichotomy continues, and the

pattern looks as though lit continue. back to the fort calhoun plant, because i wab nt to talk about that a little bit. we are talking about the swollen missouri river and also the swollen river in minot, and we will get to that in a second, but that flood is near minot where the nuclear power plant is. and the water-filled berm that was punctured and that was the problem and the water continues to come. to give you a little perspective of how high the missouri river is there, the river right now 1,006.3 feet, and that plant can withstand that river getting to 1,014 feet and another eight feet is all of the wiggle room that there is. certainly, concern because more rain is coming. let's go back the minot, because we are talking so much about minot and what we are seeing. we will expect now that it has crested. it did early, early this morning and as quickly as it got there, it will be exponentially slow to recede. it is expected to fall two feet

by wednesday, that is it. and even by next sunday a week from now, still a foot above record stage, and that record secenturie centuries' old record, and it still needs to drop another ten feet to exit the flood stage portion. so through july 4th, we will be dealing with above-flood stage in this area. it is a very slow process to recede. >> alexandra, thank you very much. we appreciate that. another developing story into cnn. we are talking about children now trapped in the wreckage of a school bus and dozens of rescuers scrambling to help. this was the scene in pennsylvania and this video is just into cnn. 25 people were hurt when the people from the cumberland valley christian school crashed on interstate 81 in the harrisburg area. a highway patrolman told our affiliate that a driver in a cadillac tried to pass the bus causing it to rollover. none of those hurt is critical, but the officer said that when

the rescuers arrived, they had to cut open the bus to reach several children. we will update you on that one as well. an intense manhunt for an accused murderer comes to an end in oklahoma as the suspect is captured by the police. wait until you hear how one sheriff passed right by him without realizing it is next. imagine the state forcing you to be sterilized, robbing you of the ability to have children. it happened to thousands of people like elaine riddic. >> they cut me open like i was a hog. >> i spoke to her moments ago and you will hear what else she had to say. many of you are looking for foernmation on the social media and you can reach out to us on twitter or facebook at cnn.com/don and on foursquare check out transparent, my new book available anywhere books are sold. of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service,

bosse is accused of killing a woman and her two children and burning the mobile home with the victims inside in summer of 2010. a member of the mcclane county sheriff's department had a head-slapping moment as the sheriff said he passed bosse on the road, but he didn't know it, because thele alert had not reached him. >> i seen the car that fit the description of one of the jailers who had just purchased it, and i know is theed the papers on it. i am on my way to church and i see a male driving and i don't pay attention to him. >> and you heard about it shortly after you saw the car a few moments ago. >> after a few moments, i was notified that we had an escapee. >> should you have known? >> i should have known. >> he said they are making changes to the notification system.

now this. what does new york's same-sex marriage law mean for the rest of the nation. i will talk to political editor harold lewis next. and high school players are joining forces to help communities in need. steve perry went to camden, new jersey tox fi jersey, to find out what is go ing on. >> reporter: it is saturday morning in camden, new jersey, at a teen addiction school, and they are here not for what it sounds like, but to give back. why are you giving back? a lot of young kids do not want to give back. >> well, i would rather be here than out ob tn the streets. >> reporter: why are you here? >> because they say people need help. >> reporter: this is part of the action team that was created by the major league baseball

players trust and baseball america. they have come together to encourage young people to make a difference in their communities across the country. do you feel like what you are doing here is going to make an impact? >> yeah, everything that you do has an impact whether it helps one person or 1,000. >> it is not always giving money, but sometimes it is giving time. >> what do you want the kids to get out here? >> well, they have gotten the message just because they are here. you don't have to be a major league baseball player or athlete or anything to be a good role model in the community. >> reporter: we take the players off of the pedestal and lift the high school students and put them on a pedestal to give them the resources to go toout to inspire their peers and pick causes that help the communities and the schools and make a difference and then they realize they have the power. >> reporter: today, there are 163 high schools who have action teams in 33 states. >> seeing people happenpy and helping them out is the best feeling.

that is why i ordered federal agencies to extend tb same benefits to gay couples that go to straight couples

wherever possible. that is why we are going to keep fighting until the law no lon r longer -- i heard you guys. you know, believe it or not, i anticipated that somebody might ask this. >> well, those hecklers want president obama to support same-sex marriage, but officially he is still opposed and he says that however, his views are quote evolving. so what is new york's new law going to mean for the rest of the nation and next year's election? let's talk about it with cnn contributor errol louis and tell us what pushed us over the top? there is an interesting dynamic going on here. >> well, the vote in new york was really a very old political story. the side that wanted same-sex marriage was organized and had a lot of money and solidarity and a smart strategy and the other side didn'tb have any of those things. they were kind of dithering and a little bit scared frankly by

the amount of passion and energy of organization they were confronting and in the end, they didn't have what it took to fight it off. >> okay. and republicans actually helped. there were some republicans helping to raise money in support of the bill? >> oh, absolutely. there are groups like gop proud that have been doing a national effort. they have a ton of money, and they have big names, ken mehlman and others who are serious organization republicans, who have been making ads, making threats and going into states and telling people, look, you get with the program or you are going to have a primary next time around. it really had an effect. >> very interesting. we heard president obama coming out of the break, there and he won't say whether he supports same-sex marriage, but he likes to say that he is evolving. is it trying to have it both ways? >> well, to a certain extent, yes. you can see from his points of view, it makes sense to try to have it both ways, because he

got rid of "don't ask, don't tell," and he says that the federal government will no longer defend the defensive marriage act and pushed for hate crimes legislation, and he has done quite a lot, and he deserves credit, but on the other hand he doesn't want to take the last step for same-sex marriage, but he doesn't want to be penalized at the polls or by donors who want him to go further in the direction that he is already taking a few steps in. >> and a quick answer here before we move on to other topics. as i watched this happen and watching some of the 1969 footage of stonewall, it harkened back to the civil rights movement and some of the footage we saw in selma and some of the other cities, and some people equate gay rights with civil rights and that is a valid comparison with the civil rights movement i should say? >> well, there are a lot of of differences, but there are many, many important social movements including the environmental movement that took major steps forward and the anti-war movement at the same time and you know what else happened in

1969, the cuyahoga river caught on fire in ohio and that gave pressure to what became as we know the modern environmental movement and the founding of earth day a year later, so lots of people have lots to be proud of in the country, and lots of different movements. they have some similarities, but think they in tehe end, they al stand up on their own. >> and let's talk about the debt ceiling and the budget cut, and the president plans to meet with each party tomorrow, and who is going to blink here? will a deal be reached before august 2nd? >> well, whoever blinks, it won't happen before the break. they will run it out here. the play of politics seems to be that nobody wants the responsibility of what could be a catastrophic outcome and everybody wants to act as if the they are reasonable, but a lot of people really want to make sure that we don't go back to this point over and over again. so, they are going to play their

hand very, very tough and go as close to early august as they can. no reason to believe it is going to be resolved any time soon. >> where has the president been up until now? do the republicans in congress have an interest in getting this done early as well? >> i'm not so sure they do to tell you the truth. or depending upon the outcome, if they want to sort of slink away from it, and quietly acknowledge that, yes, we have to keep the government run, and we are going to have to raise the debt ceiling, maybe they will do it on a friday night or some holiday weekend and that is where you might see it where the glare of the spotlight and the media attention won't there except for you and i on a sunday night, but for the most part it is likely they will get much, much closer and try to get everything they can. they have to be able to go back and say, look, we tried as hard as we could and got as much as we could, but in tend, we hhe ed to throw in the cards that. time is not yet. >> and i want your opinion, errol, and i want yo u to look t

the new iowa poll with romney on top and michele bachmann with a statistical dead heat and herman cain is third. what do the numbers tell you? >> well, it tells me that iowa is the same state i visited four years ago. it is a very evangelical state, and people talked about praying before they resolved the caucus picks, and it is serious stuff, and michele bachmann who was born in iowa and she is an evangelical and she will do well there. she is a favorite daughter and their kind of daughter. >> all right. errol louis, i like your library behind you. it looks nice. >> thank you. >> a woman gets arrested for recording a police incident that took place in front of her home. was she interfering with the police business, or did the police go too far? you will hear her next.

have -- i have not been in the league, i have been a basketball fan for years. >> reporter: does it give you a leg up on the competition that you are a fan and see it differently and not the average person running a team? >> well, the level of play right now in the wnba is at an all-time high, so i don't think that the opportunities for growth for us are in improving the play, because it is fantastic. and the fan experience is great. so that the real opportunity for the league is getting more people to attend games. >> reporter: pull people in. >> and more sponsors as well, and that is the background that i have got, and i do hope that as a fn of basketball and fan of sports i can make sure that as we attract people that when they do come to a game, they have a really great, great experience as a fan. >> why should people be as interested or more in the wnba than they are in the nba? >> well, one of the things that is amazing about the women's game is that basketball, the way that basketball, i think, is supposed to be played. it is team. it is the individuals coming

it was one of the worst brawls in nba history and right in the middle of it, ron artest playing for the indiana pacers

at the time. >> and over to the scorer's table and trying to get down to the bench. artest is in the stands. oh, this is awful. fans are involved and steven jackson is in the stands. >> well, the 2004 brawl cost artest the longest suspension in the nba, and now the former bad boy is trying to change his image and petitioned to change his name. i asked him why he chose metta world peace for a name. >> i chose the name, because we had a couple of names a couple of years ago and i wanted to change my name three years ago but i didn't want to do it to be entertaining, because i wanted to be inspiring, too. it took us three years to come up with something good. this year we had the name, me and my name, and then we was, it took us three to four months to say, okay, we will have the heart and we are going the do it. >> you lost a lot of money and a lot of controversy and people

have said a lot of things about that and are you at peace with that, metta? >> well, i forgot about that because i donated my ring to charity and my championship ring, i donated away for mental health awareness and i have been focused about that, and i have been doing a reality show to help rehabilitated convicts and parolees when they get out of prison, because the rate of return is 90% or something and prisons are overcrowded and things like that, so i have not been focused on the brawl. i know that a lot of people have not been focused on it, and it is unfortunate to bring it back up. it was a part of my life, and i'm not shying away from things i have been through, but i want to move forward and stay positive and move forward. >> ron artest, one of a kind. police don't like citizens getting directly involved if they see criminal activity, because it is dangerous of course, but monique lawless was so angry when she saw three men

allegedly shoplift a case of beer from the walmart, she goes to leap into action. she comes into the picture soon. she jumps right on the hood and then she slid off with a face plant to the ground. right there. and they didn't get far before the police caught up with them. i asked her, at least, what she was thinking. >> i was just reacting really. i was mad and i saw the kids walk in there and walking out with beer. you know, i asked or told the cashier, you know, do something, do something. and, you know, people are standing around me and we are all waiting in line waiting to check out and they heard me say something to her and pointing at them, and nobody did anything. when it was obvious that walmart could not do anything, i said watch my purse and my basket and i took out after them. >> you weren't worried about they could have hurt you with

the car or a weapon of some kind? you didn't think about that? >> no, when i first saw them i knew they were fairly young and they were 18, 19 years old and my kids' age, and when confronted by an adult my kids are going to stop, and yes, ma'am, and no, ma'am, and yes, sir and no, sir, where these kids had no fear in authority or adult or anything. they didn't care. >> yes, we were showing the video of them getting caught. did they drag you a little bit in the video? it looked like you get dragged for a second? >> yeah, when i opened up the driver's side car door, he took off then and i had a hold of the door and i pulled forward and lunged forward and did a face plant into the asphalt. >> that is where the black eyes came from. >> and the black ice and the bruised nose and everything. yeah. >> you have breaking news for me that you have not told anyone else, and that is? >> i received a facebook message from family members of the sylvester boys, and, you know,

they apologized to me from the family. they said, you know, we are really, really sorry that you had to go through this event, but we are thankful for what you did and thankful for the actions and they deserve whatever punishment they get and they deserve to be in jail right now and have to pay for what they did. they were wrong. and i told the family member, you know, thank you, thank you, thank you. because, i felt bad, you know, i feel for the family. everybody is affected by this. your community is affected, their family, and right down the line. and i want to say thank you to that family for reaching out to me and letting me know that they felt like i did the right thing. >> hmm. another story now involving a brave woman. one who is subjected to forced sterilization by the state of north carolina along with thousands of others. you will hear her story for yourself next. ttd# 1-800-345-2550

forced sterilization sounds barbaric of another culture or another era, but people were robbed of their ability to bear children in 33 states starting in the 1930s. this week the state of north carolina held a panel to figure out how to make amends. it is eugenics board labeled the victims as feebleminded and

usually they were mentally disabled, poor and most often people of color. north carolina deemed elaine riddic feebleminded and she had been raped at 13, and then sterilized against her will at 14. she spoke to me of how she overcame her tragedy. >> i was totally humiliated, degraded and it was a big insult. you know, i became a hermit. i didn't want to deal with the people. i didn't want to live in society. i just couldn't belief that my government would do something like this to me. >> they gave you a hysterectomy when you were a child, and how could people who take care of it, how could they sign off on this? >> well, let's back up. >> okay. go ahead. >> they didn't give me a hysterectomy. >> okay. >> what they did was when i was 13, i was raped, molested. i had my son at the age of 14. and when i went into the hospital to have my son, the state of north carolina decided that they were going to give me a cesarean birth where when i

had my son they went inside of me and after they took my son from me, they went inside of me and sterilized me at the same time. later on, because of my body was traumatized, so severely, i ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. but, prior to that, before i had the hysterectomy, most of my life was, i had to live in a lot of pain, hemorrhaging, when i got my monthly cycle, you know, i had to, it felt like someone had take anne knife and was gutting me. that is how severe the pain was. >> you mention your son, and how old is your son now? >> 43. >> he is the product of what? >> of rape. and i love my son. and i'm so proud of him, and he, you know, someone asked me a question the other day. >> tony. >> tony. somebody asked me the question the other day, how do we get

along? do i have certain feelings towards him as far as, you know, reminding me that he was a product of rape. no. that is my son, and i love him very much. and he is a special gift from god, and that is how i look at it. >> what do you want from the state of north carolina? >> north carolina should, you can't put a price on a child's future. you can't put a price on what they think that you are worth. you can't just say what a child is worth today. >> and the headlines tonight -- the flood of the missouri river is encroaching on two nuclear power plants in nebraska. the fort calhoun plant has been shut down since april and emergency generators are being used to keep the fuel cool. the murder trial of casey anon
