12:26 pm
>> that's the thing that puzzles me. i can't see why somebody would want to do that to my daughter. >> i know there was a vigil last night. this is a community of some 800 where she lived. i know in speaking with the assistant attorney general last week and she said these investigators have done their work, gone out and talked with every single person. is there any message you want to relay to the investigators, the community and also nationwide? so many people have taken quite an interest. >> yes. like i said, i'd like to -- i thank the authorities very much for the hard work they've done. i'm thankful that we did -- you know, we did find her, not the way we wanted to find her, but we did find her. the and now, you know, i know she'll be resting in peace. that will be better knowing that than her still missing. >> adam laro, thanks so much for calling in. again, my condolences to you. >> thank you so much.

12:36 pm
this terrorist group a shabab. it's tough. a cnn correspondent. she's in mow gu de-shah for me on the front line. she has exclusive access to the troops and their mission. we'll talk live here from somalia, but first i want you to watch this exclusive report. victory the ramadan event has been done in earnest. every year the african union forces supporting the fra jiej somalia. the is lal mick holy month has always enabled them to rally support at home and abroad. african union forces underresourced and undersupport cleveland only look on as the supplies roll in. >> extremists are receiving supplies from the sea and from
12:37 pm
the air. >> reporter: but in spite of all this, the au is makie inine ina. the rods that lead to front line of mogadishu looks deserted. this is the new front line here in mogadishu. it's quite far from the northeast of the city. the last time we were here two years ago they controlled only a triangle of territory, the port, the airport, and the state house. today out of the. the expansion of the secured zone has given them the courage to seek refuge and aid in the capital and the au says given the resources it could do even more. >> the african countries need to do more. we cannot wait for anyone to come and do this job here. somalia is part of after ka.
12:38 pm
it's safer. we need more troops. we need more troops. of course, the entire world being affected by terrorism that. will do the job. >> reporter: after they left the front line, two au soldiers were killed in gun battle with two would-be suicide bombers. as they wait for that much needed support. getting job done here will continue to come at a high price. nima elbagir live. first. i think it's point to point out that t crisis in the horn of africa, it's not new. it's simply now exacerbated. >> reporter: well, i think that is right, brooke. i think often with africa we
12:39 pm
often behave as though this is the reality of the situation. you can try to help, but this is how things are. this really isn't the case here. we've had drought warnings year on year. we've noun that the insecurity was always going to is exacerbate that. we've known for a while that ail shabab, the militant group, has a problem with foreign aide organizations working in their areas. all of that was a toxic cocktail that was always going to result in this kind of humanitarian catastrophe. and then you have the african union, 9,000 troops doing the work of the union of the world, trying to stabilize. >> so you have drought. you have famine. you have this terrorist organization al shabab, and now there are reports. try to thing of these women and their children walking hundreds of miles, try, to you know, seek shelter and aid and food in kenya, and there are reports now that they're being targeted and
12:40 pm
raped, is that right? >> yes, some pretty horrific reports coming out of the camps in kenya, brooke. aid agencies are warning that many of the people who travel across the board were their children while their husbands attempt find work or go in to the capital of mow ga deshish, they're being targeted. there's always tension between the communities in the areas where the refugee camps spring up and the refugees come in. there's famine in kenya as well some of you have these two communities fighting for meager and much needed resources and it really feels like women are bearing the prunlt of all that tension, brooke. >> and just seeing you doing this reporting, you know, embedded with the au troops, i mean what was that experience like? it looked like you were in baghdad, but you were in somalia. were you fearful ever? >> reporter: well, actually this is the fourth time i've been in to sew mall yachlt last time i was here i was on the other side
12:41 pm
of the front line with the militants. this has been a really amazing experience for me, really optimistic experience. last time i was here it 'twas two years ago during a ramadan offensive and it didn't feel like there was much hope for somalia. not only was it difficult but people were actually quite surprised. the united states, the west in general has. had a very good history here. you remember black hawk hawk down, intervened in 2006 to bring about the owned testify islamic courts union, so people were very angry with the west and quite supportive of shabab. this time because of the way they've been starving their own people, you really feel like people are willing for this to come to an end. you want to try and help. >> and we lost her. that's what happens when you try to talk to someone from somalia. but nima elbagir.
12:42 pm

re-election. now to severe heat and drought that so many of us are dealing with rye now. at least 11 heat-related deaths in oklahoma. at least 12% of the country's experiencing extreme drought conditions. crops are dying, lakes are drying up. that leads me to this. have you seen this today? this thing here? this is a piece of the space shuttle co-"columbia." it turns up after waters dried up and recreted. you remember debris from "columbia" just fell all around that area after the shuttle broke up upon re-entry back in february of 2003. now, nasa is working on a plan to recover this piece of the shuttle, which is a tank that provided power and water for shuttle missions. chad myers, you have more perhaps on what could be found or on this piece of debris? >> that was a cryo tanking about four feet around. four feet in diameter. it's very large. it was holding either the cryo
12:47 pm
hiydrogen or oklahoma city jn t come together to make fuel for the shuttle and all those other stuff, the amazing parts that the shuttle had. let me show you. i have a picture from nasa. the parts that they actually found from columbia. here tees outline of the shuttle. back to there, back to there like that. there. right there. they didn't find very much of the shuttle. so there's an awful lot on the ground in texas. most of it came down. much of it burned down. there were parts. this should be a complete shuttle. there are a few pieces that nasa still had to put back but there are five small, small piece. there's the front nose gear. you can see that. this isn't a hangar. this is kennedy space center. here's what happened this spring. it dried up. the entire state of texas literally dried up. right there. there was a lake on the west side of the town and parts of the shuttle fell into this lake. especially on the north side of
