1:07 pm
from london. so dan, has the move to shut down the paper kind of quelled the public anger? >> well, interestingly, we're hearing that the print run of the paper is actually doubled for tomorrow's edition to 5 million copies. rather than about 2.5 million which is about normal circulation. we have got a copy now of the front page which i think we can bring up which is a collage of all of the various different front pages down the decades with the headline across the front thanks and goodbye. we're just waiting here now for most of the staff to come out of this building behind me, including the editor collin miler who we're thinking will make a statement. earlier a few of the employees came out. here's what they said. >> it's extremely emotional, but every single one of us stays very proud that we're working for the news of the world.

1:09 pm
firing line for the last few days. she's staying in her post and causing a lot of criticism and causing her to stand down from all the political parties here. and it will i would think be fairly, kind of leave a pretty bitter taste in many people's mouths here, because a lot of these journalists who are coming out here in a minute joined a long time after this scandal, and they feel that their jobs are being sacrificed and rebecca brooks who presides over the paper clings on to her job as cheer kpek. chief exec. july 9, independent day. all right, they're singing, free at last in the newest nation of the world, south sudan. and we'll get you caught up on what royals will and kate are up to in southern california.

1:32 pm
needed support in how to deal with these problems. it made it unnecessary to hide the reality of substance abuse. and i think that was a contribution that betty ford made. >> we're hearing mrs. ford will be laid to rest in grand rapids, michigan at the presidential library where her husband is buried. a moment of silence in arlington stadium last night before the texas rangers game. players and fans paused to honor a man who fell to his death death from the stands the evening before. shannon stone was trying to snag a ball thrown into the seats when he fell over a railing on to the cement 20 feet below. he later died of his injuries. the woman at the center of a grave reselling scheme in suburban chicago has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. carolyn towns pleaded guilty to

1:35 pm
off the giant external tank, doesn't appear there was any, which is certainly all good news to hear that. so they did that and as i said, now they're racing toward that rendezvous with the space station. >> that's incredible, so that should happen tomorrow and this will be the last time anybody sees this kind of rendezvous. >> reporter: right. >> will it be any different than what question have be what we have been able to see in the past? >> when they rendezvous, before they dock, the shuttle itself is going to do a back flip and flip over so the crew on the space station will be able to take pictures of all the thermal tiles underneath the shuttle, which is standard procedure now. again, all this came after the columbia accident to ensure there's no damage to the heat shield, they have protective tiles on the shuttle. so they'll do. then they'll dock and open the

1:40 pm
mars. nasa says it's committed to staying in the lead of exploring space. take a look at this video. >> we're investing in a broad portfolio of technology. some of those technologies are risky, some of them may pan out, other also not. but in the end, we'll have the technological capabilities to fill in places and to explore both with robots and humans that we can't do today. >> you heard them there say humans and robots. that's another things that they're working on, they're calling them robonauts. right now it's a torso, they're working on legs and wheels. they have actually demoed it with wheels. everything on the space station and on these shuttles were designed for humans. so if you need to do basic tasks, right, it makes sense to have a human body. they're also hoping that eventually they can get these
1:41 pm
robonauts as far as mars and elsewhere. our next video here is the unpacking early this year of one of these torso robonauts. >> it's so a test, they want to see how well this does before they're able to move forward? >> hopefully they can send it up to mars, but even with all this going on, a lot of people feel that the u.s. will not be dominant in space, that will ending the u.s. shuttle missions and with cutting back on the budget, you can expect the u.s. to lose the lead. >> interesting, well, bottom line, finances, budget. very expensive and that's the decision that was made. >> and we're going to see how much they're losing for fiscal year 2012, congress is continuing to have its battle. all the technology i just showed you, everything is up on my facebook and twitter pages. i want you to check it out, something i told you about

before the break we asked you how much sleep do you think the afternoon american gets? is it 5.5 hours, 7 hours, 8.5 hours. the study showed 8.5 hours of sleep. so we learned this week the arthritis medicine celebrex might prevent lung cancer from developing in ex-smokers. if so, it would go far in our fight against cancer. healthy living expert joins us
1:46 pm
from sacramento. about 100 ex-smokers ---why do people think that celebrex may have prevented some of these patients from getting lung cancer. >> first i can't remember the last time i had eight hours of sleep. >> me either, i don't buy it, but oh, well. >> scientists have known for a long time that the chemical signals that control inflammation in the boat also play a role in the transition from healthy cells to cancer cells, so they said wait a minute, what happens if we use a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, would that have an affect on those signals and prevent healthy cells from becoming cancer. >> this was a phase two trial with 100 or so. now they're going to recruit thousands of people. these are people who have quit for at least a year, they have
1:47 pm
quit for at least a year and then they'll be given the celebrex and then they'll do a special biomarker test to see if their cells have not made the change to cancer. so far cells -- people that take the celebrex do not go on to develop lung cancer. >> so the oncology world is pretty excited about this trial for obvious reasons, right? >> the prognosis for lung cancer, any lung cancer is dismal. there may be head way, there is some improved survivorship, but it's still a very grim diagnosis. so something that could prevent people from getting lung cancer is a real positive. >> so will all exsmokers be candidates for this or will it be someone who's been smokers for most of their lives. >> people who have smoked for a long time are at a much higher risk of getting cancer.
1:48 pm
but drugs like celebrex are very powerful agents and they have side effects. people who take celebrex can get into heart trouble, liver trouble and kidney trouble. are they healthy otherwise so that they can tolerate this therapy if it became approved by the fda. >> and what would a smoker do if they wanted to explore the possibility of sataking celebre. >> make sure that you have had a good screening chest x-ray and no other findings suggest that you already have lung cancer. you and your doctor can discuss the risks and benefits, it's important, that nobody start a medicine, stop a medicine or change a specific dose of a medicine without first talking to their doctor. and then have a discussion as to whether or not you would want to enter into one of these trials in the hopes of protecting
1:49 pm
yourself from getting lung cancer. >> thank you very much for helping us live healthy. dr. bill lloyd. the british tabloid news of the world has covered scandals for more than 160 years. now a scandal of its own has brought the paper down. it's water from the drinking fountain at the mall.
