5:00 am
time to get a check of your top stories with the guy who's the best in the business -- t.j. holmes in the "cnn newsroom." good sunday morning. another deadly air show crash to tell you about this morning. this time it's in west virginia. it comes a day after we were telling but that deadly crash at an air race in reno, nevada. we'll have an update on both of them for you. also, it was billed as the mega main event. but it didn't end the way people thought it would. a controversial night in boxing that wrapped up with a head butt and what some are calling a sucker punch. from the cnn center in atlanta, georgia, this is your cnn sunday morning. 8:00 a.m. here in atlanta, 7:00 a.m. houston, 5:00 a.m. in reno. i'm t.j. holmes. now a new picture from the air race crash in nevada. this picture could help investigators figure out what happened. this is why. take a look here.
5:01 am
you can see what looks like something possibly breaking off the tail of that plane. this was just after this. the plane veered out of control and crashed into the crowd. investigators say they are now focusing in on this picture. >> a component has been recovered in the area where that was observed. but i think it is critical at this point to know that we have not identified the component. it will be examined so we don't really know what the component is or if it even came from this particular aircraft. we are very clearly going to focus on that and that's part of the factual information gathering that's going on right now. >> nine people died in the crash. seven of them on the tarmac, including the pilot. two others died later at the hospital. nearly 70 people were injured. a number of them are still in the hospital this morning. that other air show crash i just mentioned a moment ago, this one is in west virginia. this happened at the thunder
5:02 am
over the blue ridge air show in martinsburg. the pilot killed in this crash. he was flying in an acrobatic demonstration. this happened, however, out on the airfield. this was away from the crowd. the i-reporter who was taking these pictures, as you can imagine, still said this was a really scary moment for everybody. this air show has been canceled for today. turning now to the president. he is expected to get his debt reduction bill ready and drop it right on the laps of 12 members of the congress' bipartisan debt committee tomorrow. you know that super committee been herein so much about? the president this weekend in his weekly address talking about his jobs bill and this debt reduction bill. he's going to use to pay for it. >> it will create new jobs, it will cut taxes for every worker and small business in the country and it will not add to the deficit. it will be paid for. on monday i'll lay out my plan for how we'll do that, how we'll pay for this plan and pay down
5:03 am
our debt by following some basic principles. making sure we live within our means and asking everyone to pay their fair share. but right now we've got to get congress to pass this jobs bill. >> "the new york times" reports that in his monday announcement the president will propose a new standard tax on millionaires. it is part of the deficit reduction plan he's talking about there. the plan is not likely to sit well with some republicans who say excessive regulation is what's dragging down the economy. >> we all know regulations are needed. we've got a responsibility under the constitution to regulate interstate commerce. there are reasonable regulations that protect our children and keep our environment clean. well, then there are excessive regulations that unnecessarily increase the cost for consumers and small businesses. and those excessive regulations are making it harder for our economy to create jobs. >> you'll hear the president's deficit reduction plan live right here on cnn tomorrow morning. that's scheduled for 10:30
5:04 am
eastern time. four minutes past the hour now. protesters angry over wall street and the banking industry blocked streets in manhattan yesterday. they were planning to converge on wall street in the iconic bull statue there. police blocked that off, however. protests were planned through social networks. organizers had hoped it would be like the demonstrations we all saw take place in egypt and libya. >> it is our duty as americans to fight for our country and to keep it, you know, true to serving its people. when it doesn't do that, it's immoral not to stand up and say something. >> this is what the new york police are saying about this, "a protest area was established on broad street, at exchange street next to the stock exchange but protesters elected not to use it. none associated with the demonstrations sought permits." ron paul is your winner. out west, the texas congressman won the california straw poll for republican presidential
5:05 am
hopefuls that's run by the california republican party. ron paul got 45% of the vote, as you see there. rick perry had 29%. mitt romney 9%. ron paul was there in california yesterday. most of the other candidates were over in south carolina. also this morning, final arrangements being made for former illinois senator charles percy. he died last night in washington. percy was considered by many a moderate republican who served three times in the senate. he was a navy vet and outspoken critic of the vietnam war. he was the first senator to urge a special prosecutor to investigate the water gate scandal that brought down richard nixon's presidency. percy was 91 years old and had been suffer fing from alzheimer disease. the united nations kicked off their 66th regular session last week but this week we'll see all those speeches by the world leaders. president obama slated to speak on wednesday. the assembly will also hear more
5:06 am
this week on worldwide efforts to fight terrorism and the possibility of palestinian statehood. the fight for libya rages on but still no sign of deposed dictator moammar gadhafi. portraits of the missing strong man got stomped by rebel sympathizers yesterday in libya's opposition fighters got stiff resistance from pro-gadhafi loyalists in the dictator's hometown of sirte. it was there one of our cnn producers was injured taking shrapnel to his ankle. six minutes past the hour. now it is starting to get a little cooler. you may have noticed. let's say good morning to our reynolds wolf. reynolds, good to see you back here with us. good to be working with you again. summer's done. >> for most people it is going to seem that way. for parts of texas it is still going to be brutal. are you personally fan of the warmer conditions. >> yeah, i like it hot. >> see, i'm opposite.
5:07 am
you got to mix it up. keeps things interesting. if you're a fan of cooler weather like i am, it is going to be great across much of the great lakes, temperatures some five, ten degrees below average. same story for much of the eastern seaboard. if you're like mr. t.j. holmes, you'll be happy in parts of south texas. in miami your highs will be in the 90s. today dealing with scattered showers and a few embedded thunderstorms across the central and southern plains. what that is going to do is give you the rain chances not just through parts of the southern plains but also moving into parts of the southeast, even into florida. expect some scattered showers, some across much of the great lakes. severe storms could also cause some delays to stack up in a few places. no surprise out in st. louis you might have a delay of about an hour. same deal in oklahoma and kansas city. chicago, back into tampa and miami. those thunderstorms in the afternoon may keep you delayed for about an hour or so so just keep that in mind. temperatures again -- wow. love this time of year. it is going to be just perfect in chicago. 72 degrees. 67 in new york. 81 in atlanta.
5:08 am
again, t.j., miami and tampa, highs in the 90s. 64 portland. 74 billings and minneapolis with 63. that's a quick shot at your forecast. today, back to you. >> reynolds, thank you, kind sir. eight minutes past the hour. got some video to show you here. of a flash mob. pretty good stuff here but we'll explain why they showed up outside a campaign stop of one of the republican presidential candidates. also this morning, the fight ended exactly how a lot of people thought it would. but. they could pick the winner but they couldn't pick -- or figure out exactly how this one was going to end. a mess, folks, with a head butt and a sucker punch. an ugly night for boxing.k pa . then i tried salonpas. it's powerful relief that works at the site of pain and lasts up to 12 hours. salonpas.

5:12 am
now. while campaigning in california, republican presidential candidate michele bachmann ran into this -- a flash mob outside her appearance at california republican party convention. gay and lesbian activists say they don't like her stand on gay issues and this group is sponsored by the courage campaign. >> bachmann with her anti-homophobic message, they just can't play the gay way. we're here and we're here to stay. that was the message. >> inside the convention bachmann says republicans will win back the white house. the california state hasn't gone to the gop since 1988. let's say good morning to our good friend from hln sports. joe carter. >> i can tell you where i want to start, i want my $49.99 back. that's for sure. >> you got a better deal than i did. >> i got a discount. you got to change your cable

providers. >> talking about this fight of course last night. this was a big one, one of the few marquee names that people will pay money to see. m mayweather. >> mayweather/ortiz last night ended like no one thought it would end, midway through the fourth round. up to the fourth round mayweather completely dominated the fight. no question. in that fourth round, ortiz clearly frustrated head butts mayweather in the mouth. rep stops the fight, docks ortiz a point. they both come back and touch gloves and for one split second ortiz took his eyes off of mayweather, looked in the ref's direction. that's when mayweather dropped him. fight was called over, knocked out. afterpar afterwards though the response from mayweather was just absolutely childish the way larry merchant asked him about the fight, asked him about the punch. he went off in a profanity-laced
5:14 am
tirade. but the ref's response was clear. a fighter needs to keep his guard up at all times. mayweather did nothing illegal but clearly boxing and i think many people would agree with me is clearly not a gentleman's game. he could have waited two second. he could have waited two seconds, t.j. >> this happens all the time. boxers when they get split up, something happens, they touch gloves. you let your guard down for a moment, touch gloves, say all right, let's go back to fighting now. that's that moment that was happening and it looked like mayweather took advantage of it. what are people saying the day after? they getting on to the authorities for the head butt? >> immediately following the fight you could hear people in the crowd boog. 40,000-plus inside the mgm grand booing. i even read at the staples center they had a viewing party and as the fight ended there, the boo-birds flew out. people frustrated that the fight ended there. ortiz did a bad first but head butting him. when they came back to touch gloves, gave him a quick hug as
5:15 am
to say, my bad. when he looked away for one quick second, that's when mayweather dropped those two vicious punches. now i am just telling people, if they didn't see it last night, hbo are replay it next week. make the decision for yourself. but the 15 times i've watched it, first thing that comes to mind is cheap shot. looks like a cheap shot. again, it is a legal punch. we haven't seen a fight end this bizarrely since '97 when holyfield was bit by tyson in the ear. it frustrates me as a boxing fan and sports anchor because i want to see a reason to fight again. you chink we cheated? we'll fight you again. it just puts more time in between what we would like to see which would be the mega fight to determine who is really the best fighter on the planet. >> people, we encourage you to see that next week. it is shocking to see but his hands were completely down at

talking about this fight as well. this fight took place in russia. not boxers but billionaires, tycoons, business tycoons. they are debating the economy at a forum and look what happens. you don't have to speak russian to understand that right there. somebody didn't like something that said somebody and somebody started throwing blows. the older guy who threw the punch is a former kgb agent. may explain why the other guy didn't come back at him. let's turn now, say good morning to -- >> hello. interesting, there are so many very wealthy russians. >> billionaires. >> yes. a daner cell phone company has targeted them and targeted them to sell them something very exclusive. and what it is is a pure
5:20 am
18-karat gold cell phone. take a look. this is a danish company called a acor. it is pure gold. it is about $60,000. it does not give you the internet, it only has speed dial, a built-in calculator and a bluetooth. >> but these guys are billionaires, they run out of things to buy that are unique. >> they can buy anything they want to. and something that is a status symbol. if you think we take utilitarian things like sunglasses which are to protect the eyes and turn them into a fashion item, this is the ultimate fashion item which is your pure gold, very sleek phone. it's about $60,000. you can get the stainless steel version for about $10,000. now, there has been some criticism because it only has a five-hour battery life. do you have an iphone? iphone has about an 11-hour
5:21 am
battery life so this is not that good, five hours. but who cares really? i suppose, you're just taking it out for fashion anyway. if you think the price of gold has increased so much that you could always melt it down and turn it into something else, right? >> these days is gold the hot thing? i mean hot as far as the price of it but they're doing everything with gold these days. >> we spoke about that a while back. we spoke with gold tattoos, pure gold tattoos out of dubai. remember that one? and you weren't here when i brought you gold contact lenses with diamonds out of india. see there be tattoos. that's the gold contact lenses. where people are saying we can use gold in all kind of forms. that's the ultimate, isn't it? >> how expensive are the contacts. >> the contact lenses are about $15,000. right. and the gold tattoos -- as you know, but all different ways of showing gold. but that's not the most
5:22 am
expensive cell phone you can buy. because the 3gs iphone supreme is 22 carat gold with a diamond home button. who makes that? >> the iphone apparently, purely on demand. that's about $3.2 million. >> that's just silly. has anyone bought one of those things? >> we'll have to find out. but think about it when you have absolutely everything, imagine taking out of your purse a beautiful sleek gold phone. >> it is a matter of principle. nadia, good to see you. 22 minutes past the hour now. a massive dead satellite is about to crash back to earth and scientists aren't exactly sure where it is going to land. also this morning, they have discovered a new planet that could possibly sustain life. nasa has been busy. what they've been up to after the break. stay with me.
5:23 am
5:24 am
24 minutes past the hour now. a dead nasa satellite about the size of a school bus is about to crash to earth and we don't exactly know where. that is just one of the big space stories we need to tell but. always good to see my good friend, john zarrella, joining me live from miami. you're here to tell us when we need to duck. >> yeah. we got to worry about ducking. about the 23rd of september nasa says. that's like what? next friday, i think? give or take a day, they really don't know for sure. it's called the upper atmosphere research satellite launched by the space shuttle in 1995 to study the earth's atmosphere. it ran out of gas literally in
5:25 am
2000@ -- since 2005 and its orbit has been degrade ever since. it is coming closer and closer to re-entering the earth's atmosphere. if you look at this flat map of the earth, you can see that the area it can possibly hit covers six continents, 500-mile wide swath. so nasa has no idea where in that swath right now it could come down. but there's a 1 in 3,200% you could get hit by a piece of space debris. only a half a ton of the six tons is expected to re-enter the atmosphere but that's still quite a bit. we'll know more later in the week. >> again, it is going to break up. so small chunks but still could be some large, significant pieces? >> well, they won't be big -- they won't be the size of your desk, for instance.
5:26 am
there will be some small pieces that will land back on earth or if we're lucky they'll all hit in the water but there's just no telling the exact size of these pieces that are going to reenter. >> we appreciate them giving us a general idea. somewhere on six continents. other news here though -- they have discovered what these planets -- a planet that has two orbiting suns? do i have that right? >> you've got it exactly right. you remember luke skywalker in "star wars." he's standing on the desert planet, his home, and he's looking out and he sees two suns. well nasa had always thought, well, it is possible but they've never, ever discovered a planet orbiting two suns. well, the kechlt plar telescope that's orbiting the earth right
5:27 am
now has done it. they discovered a planet orbiting two suns. it is not a habitable planet. it is a big huge saturn-size planet but it does add to the belief that there are far more planets orbiting out there than they ever did before. this is my milky way candy bar. this represents the milky way, our galaxy. if you just take off a little bit of this candy bar, that's about how much of the galaxy kechlt plar looks at. in this little portion 145,000 stars in just that little portion of our galaxy. you can imagine that there is very likely life out there somewhere in the universe. >> this is why we love having you on. we get the information and demonstration with the milky way bar. john zarrella, it is always good

we are just past the bottom of the hour on this cnn sunday morning. i'm t.j. holmes. here's a look at some of the
5:32 am
stories making headlines. the ntsb now looking into this deadly air crash at this air show, air race, out in nevada. not sure what caused it but they hope this picture you are seeing can help them out. it shows a missing section of that vintage plane's tail. nine people died after that plane crashed, including the pilot. also eleanor mondale, the daughter of former vice president walter mondale has died. she was 51 years old. she was a radio show host and television reporter. she had been battling brain cancer since 2005. also freedom on hold right now for those two american hikers imprisoned in iran for spying. the toerattorney for shane baued josh fattal hope they will be released soon. so far only one judge has signed their release but the other judge is on vacation. tanzanian authorities say a
5:33 am
ferry capsized. more than 200 people died. four suspects expected in court tomorrow, the captain is missing but there is a warrant out for his aret. the reverend pat robertson says divorce is an option for a man whose wife has alzheimer's. the man wanted to start seeing another woman because he says the woman he married essentially no longer exists. listen now to what robertson said that started such a controversy. this was on his show, "the 700 club." >> i hate alzheimer's. it is one of the most awful things. this is the woman or man that you have loved porefor 20, 30, years and suddenly that person is gone. they are gone. they are gone. so what he says basically is correct but i know it sounds
5:34 am
cruel but if he's going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again. but to make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her -- >> but isn't that the vow that we take when we marry someone, is for better or worse, for richer or poorer? >> i know, if you respect that vow. but he said until death do us part. this is a kind of death. >> okay. you can imagine the reaction that got. you probably, if you hadn't seen it before now, have a pretty strong reaction to it as well. but to help us with this, to talk about christianity and divorce, our good friend yore deigned minister and ordained minister at emory university, dr. brent strong. people wonder about vows and what the bible says about them. start with this -- what does the bible say about divorce and when it's okay? >> well, as you can imagine the bible says several different things about the divorce. some text in the bible seem to allow for it to pre-suppose the
5:35 am
practice was known and even widespread in some cases. other texts are quite adamant against divorce. >> let's put up one here. try to take me through this. the first here, we're getting from dut reuteronomdeuteronomy. suppose the man enters into marriage with a woman. that sounds like a man can divorce a woman for whatever reason. >> the key phrase there is "something objectionable." what is that? it gave rise to a lot of interpretation because the text itself isn't clear what that phrase means. so in the first century the rabbis debated this and the school of rabbi hillel says something objectionable means anything. if a woman displeases a woman by not cooking dinner right, he can divorce her. but another school of rabbis said, no, that's not the case. the particular language that's used seems to suggest some sort
5:36 am
of sexual impropriety. that's the kind of debate that's going on. that jesus then sort of enters into with his teachings on divorce in the new testament. >> you brought up some sort ever sexual impropriety. this is from the book of mark. "then jesus said to them whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her and if she divorces her husband and marries another she commits adultery." that makes it sound as if you shouldn't be divorcing at all. >> that's right. look has a very similar statement by jesus. mark and luke, those texts seem to indicate jesus is against divorce and particularly about remarriage after divorce and the connection of remarriage to adultery. so it seems to be the concern about the adultery commandment, going back to the ten commandments, that's motivating that. but in matthew jesus makes a famous exception about when one can divorce. it is much more in line with saying in the case of sexual
5:37 am
impropriety -- most people think it means something to do with adultery. >> let's get now back to what pat robertson said. people brought up the vows. you take a vow that says until death do us part. he says this is a form of death, alzheimer's. now that's surprising to a lot of people to realize when that pastor is standing up there, maybe married you or been to a wedding, he is not reading those vows word for word from the bible. they're not necessarily from the bible. explain first where did we get those vows we're all so familiar with? >> the traditional vows seem to be in their early form going back to the 1500s. but they're not technically found as such in the bible. some of the language of course that's used in marriages, including things like what god has joined let no one put apart, that's found in the bible. jesus says that in matthew 19. but these other phrases are not found in the bible per se though they echo aspects of what the bible says about the covenant bond and particularly with care for one another in there.
5:38 am
>> is there a it will death do us part you could pluck from the bible somewhere or somewhere they interpreted that? >> not exactly with that phrase. but when you ghink -- of course, there's nothing like alzheimer's mentioned in the bible proper. they don't have that diagnosis back then. but there's all kinds of text in the bible about taking care of people who are needy and sick. if that applies to strangers which it does in the bible, then certainly it would apply to a family and even one's spouse. we do have these texts like ephesians talking about husbands really mandating love their loves with the love of christ. that says till death do us part, even up to and including the death of the spouse who loves the other spouse to that degree. >> we'll wrap here. the reaction you've seen -- of course pat robertson has said some controversial things in the past. people support him, people don't support him. but on this one what have you seen from the religious community? >> it's been really markedly uniform condemning him. i think it is clear the bible is
5:39 am
against what he said on this particular point. >> thank you for coming in. 40 minutes past the hour now. if you'd like more about religion and spirituality we've got our belief blog, cnn.com/belief. you can certainly share your thoughts there. also this morning, her son was trying to help a homeless man that was being attack. he paid with his life. now his mom is recalling one of the last times they spoke. >> he would call me during his break and say mumsy, he called me, i'd just let you know i'm thinking about you, i love you. >> you'll hear her reasons for wanting troy davis to be executed on wednesday.go stores and pick out o the we everything you want. the sinks ringing. hello?
