afterwards because we couldn't see or were unwilling to clear away the dust to look at exactly what was happening. >> reporter: a symbol of missteps. >> there are no dangerous substances in the air. >> the hardest thing for someone in power to say, is i don't know. there's nothing wrong in saying "i don't know" early on in a disaster because the truth is, we don't know. >> see much more of my investigation on the long-term health fallout from ground zero, called "terror in the dust" tonight 9:00 eastern on cnn. that does it for "sgmd." time to get you a check of your top stories with mr. t.j. holmes and "cnn saturday." good saturday morning. we are at the top of the hour and three people are believed to

be part of a possible terror plot against the u.s. planned to coincide with the 9/11 anniversary. government sources say they think two of these three people are american citizens. we will have the very latest in a moment. republicans running for president getting ready for monday night's big debate in tampa. cnn and the tea party express teaming up and sponsoring this event which will feature questions from the audience. we are just minutes away from nasa heading to the moon. a scheduled launch, a new mission, we'll tell you all about it. plus we will show you that launch when it happens live scheduled for about 28 minutes from now. wondering if the weather was going to cooperate there in florida. looks like we're a go for launch today on this saturday, september 10th. i'm t.j. holmes. thank you for spending part of your weekend with us. we do start now as the country gets ready to stop and

remember the 9/11 events, there is a new terror threat right now that is possibly planned to coincide with the tenth anniversary. intelligence officials say it could be two american citizens at the heart of the threat. the information comes from intercepted communications in pakistan. they're calling this a credible threat, yet they're saying it's not confirmed. just a trickle of information. it has now led to a massive security response in new york as well as washington, d.c. extra police are on the streets and they are on round-the-clock patrols. athena jones is at the fbi headquarters for us. let me turn to allan chernoff. you're at ground zero there and new yorkers, ten years of these anniversaries now, and here is another. many around the country might be wondering, well, they've been through this so many times before, what is the mood like? does the mood ever change the further we get away from 9/11 or is it kind of the same?

>> well, t.j., it's a bit of here we go again. everybody knew we would have tight security coming up on the tenth anniversary, but with that terror threat, obviously it's exceedingly tight. the police have set up checkpoints throughout the city, especially in manhattan, checking vehicles as they drive, particularly as they drive towards downtown. also a big focus on times square as well. they've been pulling aside vans, trucks, checking the inside, using radiation detectors, even license plate readers as well to find any plates that are attached to stolen vehicles, perhaps. so very tight security. frankly, it's something that new yorkers have simply gotten used to over the past decade. nobody likes it, but pretty much everyone understands it's necessary. 9/11 changed the world and that is one very, very apparent way that our lives all changed.

>> all right. alan, you stay with me. let me check in with athena in d.c., new york and d.c. were the two cities that might have been the focus of this possible threat. d.c. looking kind of the same scene, some of the same scenes as we're seeing possibly in new york with stepped up security, checking vehicles? >> well, there certainly is an increase the law enforcement presence everywhere. we're not necessarily seeing those vehicle check points like you're seeing in new york but all of the officials i've spoken with, the capitol police, the secret service, metro transit police and the park police, those people in charge of protecting the monuments, memorials and other public things, are all on high alert and they're prepared. >> reporter: a heightened state of awareness at the washington metro. significantly increased vigilance at the capitol and stepped up security near the white house. >> we were ready for this and if there are other measures that are necessary we're prepared to take them. >> reporter: with a new credible threat, the nation's capitol could come under attack,

potentially using a truck or car bomb, officials have been eager to assure the public the city is ready. >> this has been ten years of preparation and planning, essentially, from local, federal law enforcements, on how to do the best we possibly can to keep our city safe. we have a very robust plan, a lot of experience here. >> reporter: this weekend as the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, unattended vehicles around government buildings and bridges will be towed and there is an increased law enforcement presence everywhere. capitol police have more officers on patrol, more police cruisers in the field, and more canine, bomb squad and other specialty units deployed. the u.s. park police has, quote, a substantial number of officers on patrol. in uniform and plain clothes, on foot, horseback and motorcycle, and is using cameras and other technology for surveillance. metro transit police are patrolling with canine and special operations units and conducting unannounced bag searchs, among other steps. >> there is a protective

measures list that's talking about background checks, talking about training, preparing our employees, preparing our people, public awareness. >> reporter: they're sharing information and coordinating close with with their counterparts citywide. >> i see an officer to my left, i see an officer to my right. i've noticed an increase in security at the station. i think that's good. >> i have nothing to hide so it's like all right, ramp up as much as you want, try to keep us safe, so that's good. >> reporter: and now t.j., the mayor and the police chief have both said that people should go on with their business. they should carry out their usual activities as they normally would. there's triathlon going on today, a college football game scheduled for this weekend, a bunch of festivals going on. they're asking people report any suspicious activity and the mayor said in her most recent press conference yesterday afternoon they're already seeing an uptick in people reporting suspicious vehicles, for

instance, that they think are parked in a strange place and so the city wants to run those leads down. they're not turning up anything so far but they want everyone to keep their eyes open as you heard if you see something, say something. >> athena in d.c. allan chernoff still standing by with me in new york. i'll come back to you. these two cities were much of the focus is, and especially new york, but new yorkers, they have to deal with threats and the threats of attack every single day. they're always on a heightened sense of alert. but on 9/11, when this anniversary comes around, what do they reflect on on these days? some of the folks you talk to, living in new york yourself, what kind of mood are the people in around these anniversaries? >> that's right, t.j. the mood really does vary. i'll tell you, frankly i think a lot of new yorkers live with it all the time. it's embedded into our souls and will be for the rest of our lives. i have to also say that a lot of new yorkers, i think v a bit of 9/11 fatigue.

they acknowledge that it's important to memorialize on that date, a lot of people feel you know what, they memorialize almost every day. people who are not here downtown all the time, when they pass by, suddenly it makes them reflect. the people i should say who do live here and there are twice as many living in this community as there were on 9/11, well, it's just become part of life. it's become natural and, indeed, it's a very beautiful community that's grown here, really grown out of the ashes, of 9/11. >> good perspective there, allan chernoff for us as well, thank you to our athena jones in d.c. we'll check in with you both more this weekend. president obama will be in new york tomorrow for the ceremonies. but today he had a message for the world in his weekly address. take a listen. >> a decade after 9/11, it's clear for all the world to see the terrorists who attacked us that september morning are no

match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation or the endurance of our values. they wanted to terrorize us, but as americans we refused to live in fear. >> and tomorrow morning, starting at 6:00 a.m., i'll be in new york at ground zero. we'll bring you "cnn sunday morning" live from there. take a look at how america has changed in the ten years since 9/11. then starting at 8:00 a.m., cnn will have complete coverage of all the remembrance ceremonies in new york, washington, and shanksville, pennsylvania. let me turn now to a story of tragedy we're following this morning. this is unfolding off the coast of tanzania. specifically the island of zanzibar where there's an accident involving a ferryboat. at least 40 people confirmed dead now. 259s have been rescued so far. but, there were 600 people on the ferry. there could be many more casualties. a rescue and recovery effort is under way in the indian ocean.

we'll keep updating you throughout the morning. in egypt, the situation there is improving compared to certainly what we saw yesterday. protesters attacked the israeli embassy with rocks and molotov cocktails. the israeli government says six embassy workers who were trapped in the building are safe the israel. egypt's health ministry says almost 1100 people were hurt in yesterday's outbreak of violence. we will take you there live for the latest next hour. republican presidential candidate michele bachmann not only at odds with president obama, she also is pulling away from her party's own leadership. a revealing interview with cnn's john king, still ahead. also, we are keeping our eyes on the launch pad in florida. nasa's latest research mission scheduled to blast off in just about 15, 20 minutes. we will have that launch for you live. nasa heading to the moon today. also in pennsylvania receding floodwaters but still heightened concerns. the latest from this disaster zone, that story and more when

11 points past the hour. there is a tense situation happening this hour in the town considered a stronghold for moammar gadhafi. rebel fighters believe key members of gadhafi's regime, including two of his sons, may be in bani walid. cnn senior national correspondent ben weederman is on the outskirts of the town. there was a deadline that came and went. now what? >> now there is an operation, attempted assault by the opposition fighters on the town of bani walid. it's been going on for about the last seven hours. they went in shortly after sunrise, but what we've seen is, actually if we can pan the camera over, the rebels are actually pulling back.

we were told they ran into quite a lot of resistance in the town, one member of the transitional national council, the rebel authority, they said that there seemed to be some elite forces loyal to gadhafi inside the city. they have heavy weaponry, rockets, heavy machine guns. we came under fire, there were bullets flying just about eight feet over our head, just about half an hour ago, and we pulled out of that area. so, it's -- the battle has begun, but it's not clear whether it's going in the direction of the rebels or the loyalists may have the upper hand at this point. t.j.? >> ben wedeman on the outskirts for us there, we're check in with you again. thanks so much. 13 minutes past the hour. for texas, wildfire victims, the latest round of help is coming from washington. president obama declared a state of emergency in texas last night making federal funding available to those affected by wildfires in bastrop county.

that's where some of the worst fire damage has occurred. almost 1400 homes destroyed. wildfires have been burning there it seemed like constantly. almost 300 days. texas, though, could use a little of what they've got in maryland. look at this. been telling you about pennsylvania and upstate new york with the floodwaters but this is happening in maryland as well. this river town where cars gave way to kayaks and canoes. the floodwaters have receded somewhat, leaving lots of mud and debris where there isn't standing water. further up the swollen susquehanna river in pennsylvania, the flooding has leveled off just a bit. the river hitting a crest of more than 42.5 feet in some places. that's more than 20 feet over flood stage. unofficially it's a record. according to the national weather service, meteorologists breaking the previous high set in 1972 by hurricane agnus.

i must say good morning to alexandra steele with us. where do you want to start? >> wow. it's really the extreme, is the new normal, wouldn't you say with the flooding and the wildfires and again, once we head into this winter looks like we're going to see an exaggerated of the same theme, more wet conditions where we don't need its, more dry conditions where we don't need it. 11 rivers in new york and pennsylvania reaching record levels. 13 inches of rain in portions of pennsylvania, so unfortunately, we still have this flood threat. and you know, in pennsylvania, sewage plants are under water so the water that is there, is toxic and it is polluted. there's the big picture with the flood threat, so as more rain on the docket, unfortunately it is for some. kind of the dividing line is new york state. from new york state, north, new england, it will be a gorgeous day. sunny skies, clear conditions, blue skies, really beautiful. south of that, this area of low pressure is stubborn as it is to stay, still continues to meander

around, thus clouds and showers over the same area. southeast seeing sunny, dry skies. southwest, the scattered storms. sunny skies and hot conditions, the heat continues in the pacific northwest. 97 in portland, oregon, today. san francisco, incredibly warm, 99. we thought we were going to get a little relief with rain because of tropical storm nate here in the gulf, southern gulf, but unfortunately heading directly west, so will not bring any rain to texas where we do need it. >> goodness. all right. alexandra steele, thank you for the update. we'll check in with her plenty throughout the morning. quarter past the hour now. when president obama unveiled his jobs plan he told congress he got one of his big ideas from the state of georgia. >> this jobs plan builds on a program in georgia that several republican leaders have highlighted. >> well, we are going to be talking to the man who put that georgia plan in place. live with the former georgia labor commissioner michael

19 minutes past the hour. now taking a look at some of the stories making news across the

country. cnn affiliate wlox reporting the death of a high school football player in mississippi. the player collapsed during a game last night, was given cpr before medics arrived but he later died at the hospital. also authorities in north carolina trying to find 14,000 rounds of ammunition, missing from ft. bragg. the ammo was checked out for training exercise, but it never came back. also, all 3500 members of the army's first brigade combat unit were put on lockdown after this when the ammunition was reported missing on wednesday. the mississippi supreme court has cleared the way for a controversial initiative on the november 8th ballot. voters will decide whether life begins at conception. this is a move that could make abortions illegal in the state of mississippi. several other states are planning similar ballot initiatives. 20 minutes past the hour now. president obama has called on

congress to pass his $447 billion jobs plan. it's called the american jobs act. he unveiled this on thursday night. you may have seen the speech. expected to be submitted to congress some time next week. the president's plan proposes creating jobs with infrastructure projects such as repairing roads, bridges and schools and offers tax cuts and breaks to small business owners who hire new employees and it proposes free training for out-of-work americans and extending unemployment benefits beyond 99 weeks. and the american jobs act includes a work-sharing program called bridge to work that is inspired by a state-run program called georgia works. >> this jobs plan builds on a program in georgia that several republican leaders have highlighted where people who collect unemployment insurance participate in temporary work as a way to build their skills while they look for a permanent job. >> now, that program, the president was referring to, is the brainchild of this guy,

michael thurman, georgia's labor commissioner when the program started back in 2003. good morning to you. good to see you. that's got to feel pretty good. >> it's great. it feels good. >> did you know it was coming? you knew he was going to be talking about that in his speech is. >> no, i didn't, not specifically. i had been to washington on several occasions and talked to members of the administration, advocating the georgia works strategy. >> what were they curious about? did they come to you and say hey, we heard about this program, how does it exactly work? could you tell they were always curious trying to find a way to implement it nationally. >> yes. momentum picked up. president clinton began to advocate for it across the country and then speaker boehner, the u.s. house endorsed it, and reverend jackson. what it does is, six out of ten people who participate, get jobs. >> now you explain it. i'll allow you to do so. explain it to our viewers what it does. i know it's some kind of -- pare down for me here but in essence the person does what?

>> person is laid off. construction worker. decides he wants to go into a new career, new job. what he can do while he receives unemployment benefits go to a potential employer and say if you will train me and provide me with the skillset needed for this job for six weeks, i can continue to receive my unemployment benefits. no cost to you. after six weeks you can hire me or give me a certificate of completion. what we found is 6 % 0%, six out of it ten have jobs. >> there are issues with the program. not everything works perfectly. if the president were to call you and say hey, through trial and error, what did you all do wrong with the program that we can correct nationally? what would you tell him didn't work so well? >> well, first, when i first started here in georgia, my biggest challenge was that employees said it sounded too good to be true. others said, it's too simple, such a complex problem with unemployment in america, obviously we need a more complex solution. it was too simple.

the big thing to make sure all employers follow labor laws and make sure the employees are not being abused. make sure we follow the laws, keep it simple, empower states to be creative. >> a comissues that come up, it didn't really make a dent in georgia's unemployment rate. georgia has one of the highest in the country at 10.1% now, and the program, it started off with a bang, but i understand the numbers have gotten down as far as the people participating now, down to under 100. so, why is that the case? with the unemployment rate and numbers of participants so low now. >> i left the georgia department of labor in january. when i left we had over 5,000 people participating. the commissioner who followed me, changed the program. it was his decision. while i was there, 32,000 georgians participated, 23,000 completed the program, 16,500 employers provided training and

six out of ten got jobs. >> you're putting it on the new guy? >> no. he made a decision, you know, the program became so popular, quite frankly, we exhausted all the revenues there to fund it. >> it's difficult to fund this thing. the other issue some are having, questioning whether or not this program on a national level maybe even locally you came up with this, if it's even legal because what you're doing is taking people unemployed and putting them in training, but at the same time many of them could possibly be doing work for these companies for free for six or eight weeks and that company is under no obligation to hire that person. like you talked about they could be abusing workers here. >> we have 32,000 different job seekers to participate. i'm not aware of one single complaint that was filed during the seven years i was at the georgia department of labor. obviously there could be abuse. you have to have administrative oversight to prevent and protect the workers. at the end of the day in this crisis where we have 14 million americans unemployed, we can't continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect a

different result. let me tell you, the 12,000 georgians who are working together as a result of georgia works, is proof positive that georgia works works. >> he's not the labor commissioner anymore but still advocates that program. good to see you. thank you for coming in. we'll follow up and see if it does become implemented on a national level. i'm sure you'll be there. >> thanks, t.j. >> we're 25 minutes past the hour now. we told you we are standing by this for. supposedly just a few minutes away. nasa is going to the moon. you'll see the launch live, if it happens, looks like the weather is going to help out. so, stay with us for the launch.

all right. 27 minutes past the hour. it's been nearly ten years since the terrorist attacks on the u.s. on 9/11. tomorrow ceremonies will be held to remember those who were killed. you don't have to wait to tomorrow to reflect on the events of 9/11. mario armstrong joins me from baltimore. i haven't talked to you in a while. good to see you. technology helping people -- >> good to see you. >> make a personal connection to 9/11. how does this work? >> it's working through apps. that's the easiest way to get many people, as much as possible, to be able to go through their different feelings their different emotions and really educational history about

these events. we got a couple apps to share with folks. the first one is called explorer 9/11. explore 9/11. these are free apps you can download from the itunes store and android marketplace. this is created by the september 11th national history museum and what they've created here, t.j., is something that's awesome. number one, they have a seven-step walking tour. a seven-stop walking tour. basically you take your iphone and you can walk through different stops and see video as well as photos of -- photos with narration of different people, people that worked there, first responders. i have one pulled up quickly here so you can hear a little bit of it. >> planes, screaming, and the huge crash and the tingling glass and metal. all i saw was people running away. >> as you're going through that, you're actually seeing the pictures correlating with that and you're walking through this tour. that's one. the other is to explore it and you can use this technology

called augmented reality with photos and then the third way you can actually do go through this app is through the interactive timeline they have. impressive technology to help people understand what took place. >> that's interesting. it probably helps and a lot of young people who are very much tech savvy and have the smartphones and maybe were a lot younger when 9/11 it took place, that is the way for them to connect as well. there are several others, i think you got at least two more to share with me, but you tell me the one of most interest to you. >> 110 stories, this was done by an individual named brian august. i'm in love with this app because it's all about this individual mission. 110 stories is taking your phone, tj, pointing it at the skyline of new york city and being able to -- >> i'm told i have to jump in here. i was about to lose your satellite feed. keep that up for a second to let people see what he was talking about. looks like we might here. mario armstrong. apologies there. we ran into a time issue and

window issue with him. what i'm going to do for you folks, get from him these apps he's talking about, send them out to you via twitter and facebook. @tj holmes. we will get those for you. our apologies we ran out of space there and weren't able to continue on with mario. but you can join us every saturday this time as our digital lifestyle expert gives us the latest scoop on the latest technology. we're at the bottom of the hour. give you an update on what we were keeping an eye on. nasa heading to the moon today, supposed to take off about one minute ago. 8:29 was the launch time. they have scrubbed it for at least that time. they are monitoring the weather. they said they improved their chances from a 60% chance that weather was going to cooperate to an 80% chance, but now, not taking the first launch window, which was supposed to be at 8:29. they have another opportunity for liftoff at 9:08.

so just about 30, almost 40 minutes from now, having some wind issues they're saying. the wind did not cooperate. winds a little too high to take off. this is the "grail" mission, a mission to the moon trying to map the moon, more about the surface of the moon and gravity at the moon. that's what this is for. nasa heading back to the moon today, but we're going to have to wait at least another 40 minutes for the next possible launch window. i assure you when it does happen we will bring that to you live. just past the bottom of the hour now. i'm going to be telling you next about some of the people, some of the special events, planned today from the pentagon to shanksville to manhattan. that's coming your way in three minutes. also, republican presidential candidate michele bachmann says the president's plan for jump starting the economy has some holes in it, big holes. you'll hear from her after the break.

>> people in over 90 countries died on 9/11. of them 67 were british nationals. tomorrow at the british garden at 10 over square, a small garden in new york city, there will be a memorial service. this is a garden triangular shaped, looks somewhat like the british isle. even the fence has 67 funniles which are on the top of the fence to remember the 67 and the queen herself actually opened the garden officially last year. that's just one of the british ceremonies. but also in london this week, what was unveiled is a sculpture by an american artist from brooklyn called mya ando. it is dedicated to the victims of 9/11, but as you said earlier it's caused a great deal of controversy. the families of the victims feel because this sculpture is made of steel and steel from 9/11, it's the mangled steel, you can

see the memorial stone, but the sculpture is taken directly and the families feel it's too upsetting, too evocative. instead of having the sculpture where it was supposed to be in london outside the town hall, it's been moved to a less visible space. >> now did that satisfy the families at all? they would rather not have -- >> they would rather not have it. it's an interesting debate between private grief and public art. now, moving to new zealand tomorrow is a very interesting day because the american rugby team is going to be playing island in new zealand on 9 1ur. there they are, the american rugby team. the vice captain of the team says he feels very honored to be playing on this particular day. both the irish team and the american team will be wearing black arm bands. the organizers of the rugby world cup have brought in a marine band from america to honor 9/11. they played in a big procession

today. at new plymouth tomorrow they will be having a moment of silence to remember the victims. mike pettry himself, the vice captain of the american rugby team says he was in new york, he was 17 years old on 9/11, he remembers seeing the entire thing unfold and remembers being so proud about how new yorkers behaved. i think everybody all over the world from dublin to dur bin to dubai remembers where they were on 9/11. >> what they were doing on 9/11. something that the team is playing tomorrow i'm sure they'll be playing in honor of the victims that day. does the american rugby team, are they supposed to be in this? >> that remains to be seen. the new zealanders beat tonga yesterday. i know you're not a great rugby fan. >> it may take a little while. nadia bilchik, thank you so much. after 9/11 nobody knew exactly when it was okay to laugh again. especially the late night

comedians. do you remember how they handled their return to the airways in the days after the attack. >> a lot of people have asked me, what are you going to do? what are you going to say. not geez, what a terrible thing to have to do. i don't see it as a burden. i see it as a privilege and -- i just see it as a privilege. everyone here does see it that way. >> all i can say is that tonight we're going to start and we're going to try to make this little show, which has always been silly and unprofessional and largely inconsequential in the larger world, we're going to try to do one of these tonight and then we'll try tomorrow and then so on and so on. >> the reason that i am doing a show and the reason i am back to work is because of mayor giuliani. very early on, after the attack, and how strange does it sound to invoke that phrase, after the

attack, mayor giuliani encouraged us and here lately implored us to go back to our lives, go on living, continue trying to make new york city the place that it should be. and because of him, i'm here tonight. >> live, from new york, it's saturday night! >> all right. well, at 47 minutes past the hour, tomorrow morning, starting at 6:00 a.m., i will be in new york at ground zero bringing you "cnn sunday morning" from there. we'll be looking back, but it's also important for the country to look ahead and how far we've come since 9/11 and still how much further we need to go. then starting at 8:00 a.m., cnn will have complete coverage of all the remembrance ceremonies in new york, washington, and shanksville, pennsylvania.

48 minutes past the hour now. quick break here on this "cnn saturday morning." aerp right back. to stretch around the earth over 190 times. each brita filter can take up to 300 of those bottles out of the equation.

we couldn't get joe carter so we got ray d'alessio. >> the jabs are starting already. welcome to saturday morning boxing. >> with hln sports. my man, always good to see you. all right. >> that hurt. >> that's all right. football, everybody is happy football is back. nfl, thursday night, great game.

still we have all the games on sunday. >> right. >> they timed this out. the nfl did this, trying to commemorate and trying to help the country still get past 9/11. >> yeah. one player in particular before we get into lance brigs of the chicago bears, it's important to note that the nfl's uniform policy, very strict. one of the strictest policies in all of sports. your socks have to be a certain height on game day, can't wear certain types of gloves. everything has to be in uniform, i guess you want to say. >> cost you pretty big money. >> and you get fined for it. lance briggs came out this week and said you know what, i don't care, fine me if you want, but on september 11th, i'm going out there, i'm wearing special red, white and blue gloves and shoes, to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11. you see the picture he tweeted. it says there, never forget, 9.11.2001. other players followed suit. reggie wayne of the indianapolis colts, said the same thing. he was going to go out. there's reggie, wearing the red, white and blue gloves.

as a result of this and other players saying they felt the need to go ahead and wear these shoes and these gloves, the nfl said for this sunday only, we're going to loosen our policy and if you guys want to express yourself that way, that's fine. which makes sense because they even honor breast cancer awareness with the pink and everything. i'm surprised the nfl didn't do something like that for the whole league this sunday, but at least they're loosening that uniform policy. >> nice to see. very visible day on sunday. everybody will be watching nfl football. let's turn now to college sports. >> oh, yeah. >> if you can call it that. this is golden. this coach, set this up for us. >> every so often, t.j., it happens on average, i say once every three years, a coach, be it a pro coach, nfl coach, they come out with one of the press conference rants that are just instant classics. we have another one, coastal carolina head football coach dave bennett this week telling how he wanted his players to be more aggressive. take a look.

>> i turned and look there's a kitty cat in our kitchen. so i said, what are you doing in here, little kitty cat? by that time, the cat turns, tries to get back out. that screen won't go that way. cat starts going -- all crazy. told our players, i tried to let it out the front door. the cat still going crazy the in there. i told our players we need to be more like a dog. >> i don't understand, he's basically saying the cat is a fighter. why do you want your players to be like a dog? be like a cat. you're a fighter. >> the cat was running around like crazy confused, be a dog. we have so much more. >> i guess that's what he was trying to get the point across. i'm still trying to figure it out. >> be a dog. that's going to be the new thing. can't wait. >> oh, my gosh. >> be a dog. >> beautiful stuff. >> will you help us, alexandra, we lost our minds over here. >> no dogs in the forecast weather wise. >> it's a big college saturday. >> hello. >> how are you? have a seat.

she's nice to me. >> all right. let's talk about the forecast for a big college game day forecast. first take you to baton rouge, right? >> oh, yes. >> not a lot of dogs. partly cloudy skies, beautiful conditions. baton rouge/lsu coming there, northwestern state visiting. >> little small school out of nakatish, louisiana. played there my senior year in college. >> i know about the northwestern state demons. >> lsu tough. >> dry sky, 72, southwesterly winds. won't affect passing game, right? i know enough about college football -- >> you sound good. >> state college, every meteorologist on the planet went here to penn state. huge meteorology school. kickoff 3:30 this afternoon. weather gray. there is a chance of a few thunderstorms. they're in pennsylvania where we've had so much flooding. little area of disturbed weather could bring off a shower. >> jo pa against nick saban. >> you're the sports guy. is he coming down from the

booth. >> for one more game, don't quote me on this, but i think for one more game he's going to stay in the press box. i would imagine f i was joe i would stay up in the press box. he's getting up there in years. the reflexes are gone. >> 72 degrees, don't quote me. let's talk next -- >> this is a big one. michigan/notre dame kicking off. the first night game? >> yes. >> the big house. >> 68 degrees. 30% chance of some showers. pretty nice. winds not a factor unlike what's happening with nasa, the winds a factor. shouldn't be a factor all day today for the college games. >> i have to go with michigan on this one. i was not -- >> anybody go with notre dame for any reason? >> come on. >> i think we learned our lesson last week of what we saw with notre dame. >> thank you so much. >> add such insight, you know. >> you sounded like you knew sports. >> ray, i will be nicer next week. >> can we have you next week? >> there's a little interesting weather tidbit, nasa was delayed because of high winds, winds in the upper levels of the

atmosphere, between 15 and 22,000 feet. they're sending off one more weather balloon at 9:01 this morning, if that is a go we will look at the winds with the weather balloon sent up and know if it's going to go off at 9:08 this morning. 9:01 we'll know a little more. >> a font of information. >> weather, space. >> well rounded. >> we're right back. stay here. l to help your engine l to help your engine run more smoothly by helping remove deposits and cleaning up intake valves. so when you fill up at an exxon or mobil station, you can rest assured we help your engine run more smoothly while leaving behind cleaner emissions. it's how we make gasoline work harder for you. exxon and mobil. handle more than 165 billion letters and packages a year. that's about 34 million pounds of mail every day. ever wonder what this costs you as a taxpayer?

time now for a -- to check in with christine romans for a look at what's coming up on "your bottom line" at 9:30 eastern time. >> hi, t.j., september 11th, 2001, changed this country and its people forever. it's changed our security and priorities. most of all it's changed the

day-to-day of everyday life in the united states. coming up on a special edition, we're going to look at life after 9/11 from how it's taught to our kids in the classroom to changed those who narrowly escaped. meet a man whose life changed forever and made it his business to make sure you change yours as well, on a special edition of "your bottom line" at 9:30 eastern. t.j.? thanks to our christine romans. we'll see her in just a moment. look at some of the stories making headlines on this "cnn saturday morning." a tragedy off the coast of the tanzanian island of zanzibar. hundreds are missing. rescue boats have been bringing survivors from the site. the state minister says at least 259s people have been rescued and 40 bodies recovered but the minister says more than 600 people were aboard that ferry. also in libya, ben wedeman reporting earlier this hour that rebels are attacking a town considered a stronghold for

moammar gadhafi. the attack on bani walid began at daybreak there. wedeman says the rebels ran into a lot of resistance apparently from elite forces in the town. rebels believe key gadhafi regime leaders including two of his sons may be there. . well, it is just a trickle of information, but it has led to a flood of extra security this morning. we're talking about the new threat that coincides possibly with the tenth anniversary of 9/11. intelligence officials say it could be two american citizens at the heart of the threat. the information comes from intercepted communications in pakistan. they call it credible, still not confirmed. but it is a sobering reminder as we pause to remember the victims on 9/11 this weekend. we've got our susan malveaux with us from kabul, afghanistan, where troops are rehearsing for their 9/11 ceremony and athena

jones is in washington keeping an eye on the increased security there and cnns a senior correspondent allan chernoff is at ground zero for me this morning. alan, i'll start with you. what's the mood of the city? >> t.j., the mood is one of tension, but it's tension that has been experienced for the past ten years. so frankly, this tightened security that we have had in place since yesterday, something that new yorkers unfortunately are very, very used to. it's the drill once again. we all knew it would be tight before the tenth anniversary, but, perhaps a little tighter because of this newest terror threat. so police have had checkpoints throughout manhattan, stopping vehicles, especially vans and trucks, looking inside. they are, in particular, targeting license plates that are rentals. that the license plates indicate that these are rental vehicles. they've also been wearing radiation detectors and they've

been scanning plates at bridges and tunnels, so t.j., tight stuff, long traffic yesterday, very bad traffic jams, but most new yorkers understand this is part of the new world created post-9/11. >> all right. and alan, to our athena jones, we'll go to d.c. they already were stepping up security for these 9/11 events, especially in new york, in d.c., anyway. with this new threat how did they step it up even more? >> well, you know, everyone i talked to, they said we're at a heightened state of awareness. this anniversary coming up, isn't as though it came out of the blue. they've had ten years to prepare and they know that anniversaries like this are important to groups like al qaeda and their extremist sympathizers. they say they're ready. all across town you're seeing an increased law enforcement presence. at the capitol you have more canine units, hazmat units, bomb squad units, all those specialty units coming out to -- in a show

of force. the parks police in charge of protecting the monuments and memorials around town will be surveilling with technology like cameras, officers in uniform, in plain clothes, on horseback, on foot patrolling and on the metro here you've seen canine units patrolling the metro lines, doing bag searchs, unannounced searches on people and the metropolitan police have added 200 to 400 police officers to be working this weekend and overlapping 12-hour shifts. they've definitely stepped it up as we head into sunday. and they believe they're ready. let's listen to what police chief lanier had to say. >> in terms of the safety of the city i feel very comfortable that we have a very safe environment for the weekend. i want people to go out and do what they were going to do without this threat being present. >> reporter: and so you heard that police chief say she wants people to continue with their lives. that's what the d.c. mayor has said. there's a lot going on here in

the city today. festivals, triathlon, a big college football game going on this weekend, and so they say go out and enjoy, but just be vigilant as always, you hear that phrase, if you see something, say something. the police chief said they've seen an uptick in the number of people who are reporting suspicious things like cars parked in odd places and the d.c. police, they want that kind of information. they want everyone to have their eyes out. they're running down all of those reports. nothing has turned up but they want everyone to be paying attention. >> athena jones in d.c., thanks to our allan chernoff in new york for us. but at six minutes past the hour, coming up on -- we are going to bring you what we have been waiting to bring you for the past few hours here, nasa is about to launch a mission to the moon, that is the "grail" mission. you're about to see this vehicle take off in 2:53. let me bring in john zarrella

who covers nasa with me. always good to have you with me. you do a better job than i have explaining what this mission is. i've been keeping it short and saying nasa is going to the moon. what are they doing on this mission? >> as well, it t.j., it is a complicated mission even for those that cover the space program. what nasa is going to do on this delta 2 rocket, if they can get off the ground here, they've been plagued by high winds in the upper levels of the atmosphere. this delta 2 rocket is going to be carrying twin satellites each one about the size of a washing machine and going to take a three-month route to get to the moon so they will be able to save fuel that way, save money. when they get there they're going to go into orbit, literally identical orbits, one behind the other. and as they circle the moon for about three months in that orbit, they'll be going over mountains, valleys, they'll be going over masses that are hidden beneath the surface of the moon, and as they do that,

the gravitational tug on those satellites will force them to either move a little closer together or a little further apart as one goes over the mountains an the other one trails behind it. and by doing this, the data they receive from that, they'll be able to map the gravitational field of the moon and by doing that, they're literally going to get a cat scan of the interior of the moon. why is that so important? well, because despite the fact that we've seen humans to the moon and more than 100 different probes have orbited or landed on the moon, we do not understand what makes up the interior of the moon. they don't know. this cat scan of the moon should prove to them or help them figure out what the interior of the moon is made of. and that will help them have a better understanding of what the inner planet, the rocky planet of the solar system, actually are made of, besides earth, and how they ultimately formed in the early, early eons of the

solar system's formation. >> okay. >> that's the plan for this mission. as well as another interesting part of it is, they're going to have cameras, eight cameras, four on each of these spacecraft, and it's a project for middle school students around the world. >> okay. >> first time nasa has dedicated to education an entire suite of instruments. >> well, john, you can put it that way or just call it a mission to the moon like i have been doing. but it's about to take off. we're less than 30 seconds away. let's listen in to nasa and their mission control. this thing is about to take off. >> 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 0. and liftoff of the delta 2 with "grail" journey to the center of the moon. >> rising and all six grou

groundoutlet motors. the chamber pressure on all six ground let motors. 20 seconds into the flight. 29 seconds. mark 29 seconds. mac 1, vehicle going transsonic. 35 seconds in. 38 seconds in, max q. dynamic pressure. on the 45-second mark. mark. 45 seconds in. altitude 3.4 quarter of a miles. 14.4 nautical miles. velocity 1742 miles per hour. on the one minute mark. mark. 1 minute into the flight. standing by for solid motor burnout about ten seconds from now. pressure decreasing on the solids. standing by for burnout.

and we have burnout. standing by. and we have separation. and we have ignition on the three air motors have come up on chamber pressure. chamber pressure on the air lit motors. 1:39 into the flight the delta vehicle now only weighs one half of what it did at launch. 1:50 in. altitude 21.8 nautical miles. down range 51 nautical miles, vel loss itty 4493 miles per hour. >> all right. as i'll bring john zarrella back in here. we're watching this and no matter what, it always captures the imagination when you see, you know, a rocket launch,

frankly into space, but we're not going to be seeing the space shuttle anymore, so these are the kinds of launches, john? is this what we're going to have to look forward to nasa and the foreseeable future, these kinds of launches, these kinds of missions? how many more do they have down the pike? >> the big one down the pike is the mission called msl, which is the mars mission coming up at the end of november where they're going to send rover, another rover to mars, but it's the size of a vehicles wagon. the most expensive, the ambitious mars mission that will be be -- has ever been und taken. it will be a fascinating one to watch over the course of, you know, after they lift off and then the next year and a half. i'll finish that thought real quick, middle school students around the world can actually go to moon cam, moonkam.com and you can go on-line and you can request a photo taken of a

particular location on the moon's surface and you'll actually be able to follow the progress when the signal is uplinked an when they take your photo and it will be posted on the websites eventually for teachers anywhere in the world with middle school students. that's a fascinating opportunity to get kids interested in science and space exploration. t.j.? >> john zarrella. i appreciate you hopping on the line with me and certainly needed your expertise in walking me through what this mission was all about. but john zarrella, covers nasa right now, he's been covering some of the flooding up in pennsylvania. we'll be checking in with him throughout the day and weekend on that. thanks as always. 13 minutes past the hour now. we are going to be heading live to afghanistan coming up. our suzanne mall vo is there checking in with u.s. troops who have a different take on what 9/11 means. stay with us. there's so many choices. the guests come in and they're like yeah i want to try this shrimp
