you're in the cnn newsroom. it is september 18th. i'm fredricka whitfield. our top story, investigators in nevada may have found clues that could help them figure out what caused that deadly plane crash at an air race in reno. they've recovered parts from the plane's tail. right now, the death toll stands at nine. dozens of other people were hurt and today, we're also hearing more from witnesses who were there. cnn's dan simon is in reno. tell us what investigators have found so far and how those items could be important to this investigation? >> fred, first of all, we got a look at what that crash scene looks like today. you can see that the devastation is just tremendous. the plane left a three-foot deep crater there on the tarmac. it is eight feet wide and the debris field is spread out over an acre. in terms of what may have caused

that plane to go down, obviously the focus is on the tail of that aircraft, almost immediately after the crash, photographic evidence emerged that a piece of that tail came off during mid-flight and that's something that ntsb confirmed during their news conferences and when crews went to take a look at the debris field, they actually found a chunk of the airplane and ntsb officials talked about that yesterday. take a look. >> it just happened so fast, a split-second event. you think, is this it? am i going to die? >> reporter: obviously, that was not the right sound but we want to talk to you a little bit about the victims. we got an update of the 69 people who were taken to the hospital, and treated for injuries, 31 patients remain in local hospitals and nine

patients in critical condition. and, of course, we know that nine people died as well. i know that you have more information on that, fred. >> that is incredible. that's right. we know that number is at nine right now, but investigators are still saying and local authorities are saying there are a lot of people who are at the hospitals being treated with injuries as well. all right. thanks so much, dan. appreciate that. michael joseph wogan was one of the people killed in the crash. the 22-year-old was there with his father on vacation. michael had muscular dystrophy and was in a wheelchair. in a statement his brother says quote, he was about moving past that disability and always driven toward independence. his motto in life was, the only disability in life is a bad attitude. meantime there was another air show crash this one in west virginia. a t-28 plane crashed and exploded killing the pilot. the pilot had performed a belly to belly maneuver with another

plane when it wobled and hit the ground. federal investigators are heading to the scene. the president of the united states has been pushing for this now. a new white house plan to help reduce the deficit and reform the tax code. tomorrow, president barack obama will propose a new tax rate for people earning more than $1 million a year. it will be called the buffet rule. named after billionaire warren buffett who believes wealthy americans pay less than their fair share in taxes under the current code. the plan is getting a mixed response from lawmakers. >> certainly on those who are wealthy and comfortable and wouldn't even notice it, yes. warren buffett has been honest. other people i know who have been fortunate in life and wealthy, have said for goodness sakes, you can raise my taxes if that's going to help this economy move forward. >> the tax code should be reformed for one purpose, to generate more revenue to help run the government and to create jobs.

and when you pick one area of the economy and you say we're going to tax those people, because most people are not those people, that's class warfare. >> the white house says the buffet rule would ensure millionaires pay at least the same percentage of their earnings in taxes as middle income americans. and the race for the presidency, candidate ron paul is celebrating a victory. paul is the winner of california republican straw poll. he captured nearly 45% of the vote beating rick perry and mitt romney who finished second and third respectively. now to a deadly shooting in central florida. officials say a gunman opened fire at a home in lakeland, killing one person. the suspect then reportedly went to a church and shot a pastor and associate pastor injuring both of them. officials say church members tackled the gunman and restrained him until police arrived. the suspect is identified as 57-year-old jeremiah fogel. police are not commenting on a

possible motive. a peaceful ending in the manhunt for a fort drum soldier who escaped military cutedy. the three day search for army private russ sell mar kum ended when he surrendered in a wooded area nearist this ka, new york. he was being held by military police on a burglary charge when he escaped. nfl fans are giving themselves a little extra time getting into the stadiums today. they'll need tickets and patience. the nfl instituted enhanced pat-downs for everyone entering stadiums. the nfl says the security upgrades have nothing to do with last week's incident involving a fan and a stun gun. tonight is tv's biggest night. at least one of them. the 63rd annual emmy awards will be handed out in hollywood. stars from the small screen will be vying for statue wttes in mo than a dozen categories. kareen wynter is checking out the carpet and will be joining

the united states sends $3 billion in aid to israel every year. that breaks down to 8, 219, 178 a day. all right. so the president of the palestinian authority plans to ask the united nations general assembly for full membership this week. live with alease labbit our senior state department producer. why is the u.s. planning to vote no on that? >> well, basically, fred, what they're saying is they don't believe that this is going to lead to a palestinian state and it's really not. even the palestinians are acknowledging it's a symbolic move and they feel that the road to negotiations really as secretary of state clinton likes to say isn't leading to new york, it should lead to jerusalem where the parties can negotiate it out themselves.

let's listen to what the israeli and palestinian ambassadors had to say to cnn's candy crowley on "state of the union" about the prospect for negotiations. >> but the u.s. position is that the territory in the statehood can only be done through negotiations with israel and, therefore, and believes that this will undermine that effort? >> we don't disagree with the administration that there has to be negotiations. the problem is there are no negotiations right now. we are the party who needs negotiations the most, who need the end to the conflict the most. >> israel wants peace. israel wants peace. prime minister netanyahu said he's willing to negotiate with president abbas anywhere any time without preconditions on the basis of territory for peace. we have to make compromises, work out all these difficult relationships and problems with the palestinians. the palestinians want all the territory without the peace.

>> so what's going on now? basically even though president a abbas said he's going to go to the u.n. security council furious negotiations going on right now to stop him from doing that. anything from trying to block him at the united nations, even though the u.s. can use its veto, it doesn't want to be all alone, trying to get other states to vote no with him, but other things, trying to minimize the fallout here, trying to find a way out a day after. that means a statement by the so-called quartet which includes russia, the united nations and eu, a statement of principles so no matter what happens, even if he does go to the u.n. security council or general assembly, where he might have a little bit more support, this will be the kind of parameters for negotiations to jump start and they're hoping no matter what happens, next week they really have to get back to the table and start those negotiations. >> it's interesting, because i guess the interpretation of the u.s. vetoing the proposal, really does contradict what this white house has said it wants to

happen. this white house says supported the palestinians having some negotiations with israel in order to move towards statehood but the palestinians are saying they've tried to reach out and talk with israel and israel has not come to the table. so where does this kind of negotiating or where does this strategy really stand? >> well, the short answer is we really don't know. i mean everybody knows that the negotiations have to take part. this isn't -- no matter what happens next week this isn't going to be the end of occupation. the palestinians aren't going to have their state. that's why they want to get them back to negotiations and the palestinians know that they're not going to get this state at the u.n. next week and the israelis know they need to negotiate with the palestinians to have security for themselves and relations with the arab neighbors all part of a peace deal. what the u.s. is hoping is no matter what this -- what they call maybe evein a dog and pony show next week, this isn't really going to be what the day

after is. so they're trying to minimize the fallout while also talking to the parties about look, let's move even thinking past, even though we're looking towards next week, thinking about the week after, fred. >> thanks so much from washington. one more note about this week's gathering of the united nations general assembly, libya will be represented there, but by a representative of the forces that ousted long-time leader moammar gadhafi. the general assembly adopted a resolution two days ago that not only improved the national transitional council to represent libya, but also established a u.n. support mission to help the libyans work on security and a new constitution. elsewhere, overseas today, iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad is addressing his nation. we're told he's covering a range of issues but we're waiting to see if he will be addressing the case of the two american hikers awaiting release from prison in iran. also speaking out today,

intervene in a hearing tomorrow. most of the witnesses have changed their stories about the murder of a policeman 20 years ago and davis maintains his innocence. so does his sister. last night she spoke to our don lemon. >> he's always maintained his innocence and told us he was not the one that shot the police officer and we have stand behind that innocence and stand behind his word. i am emotionally prepared as well as troy because troy said if the state of georgia does succeed in executing him, they will only take his physical body because he's already given his soul to god. >> the mother of the slain police officer mark macphail doesn't want her son forgotten. she was in court in 1991 and says she's suspicious so many of the witnesses have changed their testimonies. >> i was at court when that all happened. the joy, i mean, was emphatically saying, he's guilty.

now after 17 years, they're saying the other thing. somebody is on their back and i knew before even they were. because it came back and said we have family in savannah we know what they were doing. so, but i really don't know what happened. i'm being very cautious. it's the fourth time and every time something else came up. >> a petition seeking clem masy for troy davis has more than 660,000 names on it. i talked to our legal guys about the case and asked if that petition is helping davis win time and potentially his freedom? >> the georgia pardon and parole board really holds his fate and they're going to be meeting, obviously, in a very short period of time. 663,000 petitions are important, but i'll tell you, what's more important, are the efforts made by a former fbi director and

former federal judge william sessions, along with 27 other federal prosecutors, state prosecutors, and judges, who say there is some evidence, actual evidence, of innocence. that's what the board has to consider. judge sessions published an op-ed piece yesterday in the atlanta newspapers there and i think the parole board is going to really struggle to make a decision. there are three new members. they rejected it in 2008. see what happens. >> richard, has the parole board been at this crossroads before there may have been witnesses that recanted their story or jurors were second guessing the conviction. if this has happened so many times prior, why did it a, not considered and why are we at this juncture again. >> you heard the representative from georgia say we've considered everything and not going to consider ricantations made 17 years after the fact. i mean, there was sufficient evidence to convict him, fred.

shell casings from his weapon were found at the scene there and allegedly reused or not allegedly, were proven to be used to be the -- to kill the police officer. so, there was evidence to convict. >> shell casings but no other physical evidence. >> that's right. >> there were eyewitness testimony and the question is, how valuable is eyewitness versus circumstantial. everybody thinks eyewitness is the best. it it's really not the best and we're seeing that here. people make mistakes. "60 minutes" did a great piece on this. people make mistakes. eyewitness testimony is not the best. the real dichotomy are you pro death penalty or against it. if there's a chance of putting an innocent man to death is it worth the dealt penalty. people including pope benedict are fighting hard to get clemency issued for this man. >> avery, if that is brought to the attention of the parole board, people make mistakes and possibly people made mistakes in

this case, isn't that defense enough to save a man from being put to death? >> well, it has to factor into the formula. the fact that you see the pope and other anti-death penalty people advocating it, they would advocate it any how. the focus has to be on the board, is there any likelihood that there's actual evidence of innocent? 172 pages by a federal judge said no and that's what the board has to consider, although they don't use the same legal standards. they have complete, absolute discreti discretion. >> catch our legal guys every saturday, noon eastern. some other stories we're following. investigators may have found clues that could help them figure out what caused the deadly plane crash at an air race in reno, nevada. they have recovered parts from the plane's tail and it's believed the damaged part called an elevator trim tab may have played a role in that crash. >> they have identified and

recovered portions of the accident aircraft tail. and as part of this process the ntsb has been aided by a technical inspector with firsthand knowledge of these modified aircraft. >> right now the death toll in the crash is nine. an unseemly ending for a high school football game in pennsylvania. >> another fight across the field. this is where it gets ugly. >> with just ten minutes to go in the game between sharon and hickory, referees called the game, because of that fight. while the outburst was ugly, so was the final score. hickory beat sharon 43-7. former president ronald reagan was honored during the coin toss at the start of yesterday's university of southern california football game. usc lynn swann tossed a commemorative coin issued to

going on here. where might this come down? >> it's a large area, they don't know and that's the problem. could be anywhere from northern canada all the way to southern parts of south america. >> that helps, right? it's going to be about a 500 mile stretch. scientists say don't worry about this. this happens all the time. satellites and other pieces of space debris fall into the earth's atmosphere, most burns up on contact and no one has been hit by this before. should you worry? your odds are not all that bad. they say the odds are 1 in 3200 that somebody will get hit by a piece of space debris. that person is you, one in 21 trillion. feeling more comfortable about that. they're tracking this out there. take a look at this from google earth. this will show you where it is right now. it is over the middle east. here's india just to put it in perspective. that's the location of the satellite right now. they're tracking all kinds of space junk which is out there. there are about 20,000 different pieces, about four inches in

international monetary fund today gave his first interview since his arrest jailing and subsequent dismissal of sex assault charges. let's go to paris now and cnn's jim bittermann. he spoke with french journalists. can you elaborate any further what he meant by that? >> well, i think he was pretty specific and fairly compattive about what he was saying this evening. i don't think that observers expected him to be as combative as he was. he denied there had been any aggression, violence or constraint as he put it. he did however say that this is much more than a weakness. this was a moral failure on his part. he'll regret it forever. he realized he let down his friends and family and france, as he put it, mr. rendezvous with france, rumored to be the leading candidate for president in this presidential election coming up in 2012. the fact is, he's kind of

admitted guilt in the sense he was guilty for what he did to the french people. he didn't admit any guilt, however, in terms of what he was accused of in new york. and he said about the affair still hanging in france, complaints brought by a young journalist that he tried to rape her back eight years ago, he said that was total imagination on her part and denied that anything had happened there. so he was on the facts denying everything. in the -- when asked about his future he said, i have no -- i'm a candidate for nothing he said. i'm going to sit back and i'm going to reflect and my whole life has been to try to serve the public and we'll just see what happens. so that's basically the kind of tone he struck this evening. >> when he talked about the moral weakness, you know, failing the french people, did he ewill be brats any further or admit that he -- did he admit he

had sexual relations with the woman in new york who accused him of assault? >> he was not that specific. he basically stayed away from real specifics about what happened except at a couple points,waved the prosecutor's report or what he said was the prosecutor's report and said it did not bear out anything that miss deyal lo's attorney has been saying. the prosecutor's report said that she was an unreliable witness and not somebody who could be trusted and a number of different versions in the stories she told. he was using the prosecutor's report in his own defense and, of course, i don't know that anyone has seen the entire report other than him and the other principals that are involved. there's been a number of things published that he said purported to be the report, but what he waved around is something that,

in fact, takes his side of the case. >> jim bittermann in paris, thanks so much. more on this and your reporting one hour from now. checking today's other top stories, a florida man is in custody accused of carrying ult a deadly shooting this morning. police say 57-year-old jeremiah fogel shot and killed a person at a home in lakeland and then opened fire at a church injuring a pastor and associate pastor there. investigators may have found clues that could help them figure out what caused the deadly plane crash at an air race in reno, nevada. they have recovered parts from the plane's tail. it's believed a damaged part called an elevator trim tab may have played a role in the crash. right now, the death toll stands at nine. and i'll be back in one hour from now as the economy struggles, many of you are seeing your adult children move back home. they are called boomerang
