along that time line so all the information -- you may have graduate freddie college recently. now all that stuff has been pushed down because you talked about what you've been eating for breakfast, people don't know that. now they will see more significant life moments along your journey. >> you say it's been rolled out. are some noticing it already in their facebook pages? >> if you're tech savvy enough to go into the developer account, you can start to see how this is going to play out. no, i don't think individuals just yet are seeing this in their profiles they are seeing in the right-hand corner what they think is a time line but it's a news ticker. that's causing confusion and complaints right now. >> my goodness. facebook. we just got you on twitter, so we shouldn't even go that far. >> you're killing me. >> one step at a time. >> i'm feeling relaxed, now i'm stressed out. >> you're on a little sleep. good to have you here, back h e

here. >> i'm a low achiever in the facebook and twitter thing. >> no. >> i proudly boast. i'll get there. >> you have a good show. >> thanks, t.j., so much. you won't have to walk out doing this with your hands over your head, because that defunct satellite has made its way down to earth. we've been talking about it all week long. it crashed in tiny pieces somewhere over the pacific around midnight. the space agency hasn't pinpointed the exact location. there have been lots of reports from possible sightings from texas to hawaii. reynolds wolf has been following the developments of this. hopefully it means no one is hurt. >> as of right now i think we can breathe easy. i think we'll be okay. >> nasa would let us know. >> i think so. there's a tweet this morning, official tweet from nasa saying it made its way through the

atmosphere over the pacific ocean early this morning. pacific ocean is the largest single geographical feature. take all the continents, slam them together and have plenty of room for anything, even space junk. 26 separate pieces made their way through the atmosphere, some 100 pounds, some much lighter. the idea is hopefully as they were coming through the atmosphere, some of them began to break up. hopefully if they hit water, hit whatever, they would disintegrate rather quickly. there's a very good possibility, strong possibility that we will never really know where every single piece of this satellite went. take a look at the video. this was in hawaii where you see this in the sky. could it be from a jet, a plane? i don't know. could it be from the satellite? it's a possibility. you have to remember as we wrap things up, you have on average about 20,000 things that come from out of orbit into the

atmosphere, 20,000 each year. it means things are pretty busy out there. >> i don't think most of us realize that. >> some, chris rabowski, could that be part of it? >> it could but it could be something else, too. >> nonetheless, it was all very fascinating. it was an being buildup. we all learned something. >> we're better people for it. >> we are. i'm glad we so far can report nothing severe has happened as far as we know. thanks, reynolds. >> you bet. to washington, all eyes on u.s. congress, lawmakers have only one week left to pass a new spending deal otherwise government agencies could shut down. no one is working on it this weekend. there is word we might see a vote in the senate monday. our congressional correspondent kate bolduan looks at what's at stake. >> reporter: with lawmakers heading for the exit and after a

week of long heated debates. >> that's the danger to this country, the $14 trillion deficit and the $1.6 trillion we add to it every damn year. wake up. wake up. you can't kill these programs. this is the solution you are killing. >> reporter: congress leaves washington with no agreement on how to avoid another government shutdown. why the holdup as the deadline looms? neither side is backing down. top republicans and democrats continue pointing fingers at each other. >> harry reid is holding a bill up for no reason, no reason but for politics. that's why people don't have respect for this institution anymore. >> do they want the government to shut down, fema to close? fema will close. >> reporter: the house nar otherly passed a spending bill

that would keep the government funded through november. the measure also includes what both sides say they care about most, urgently needed money for federal disaster relief in the wake of the recent floods, storms, and wildfires. >> it is a reasonable, responsible approach. >> reporter: that plan rejected by the senate. demands disaster aid be paid for offset by solar programs including bankrupt solyndra, yet they contend these programs are creating jobs. >> is it really fair to fund disaster relief we take american jobs? >> reporter: senator reid countered with a compromise saying they will go along with the house measure providing $3.6 billion in federal disaster relief, less than senate democrats wanted but they will not go along with the off sets in the house measure.

the stalemate now forcing at least the senate to put off part of its scheduled recess next week. we'll see about the house. kate bolduan, cnn, capitol hill. >> talk about the race for the white house. if you're a republican running for president, you want to be in either michigan or florida this weekend. that's where two major straw polls are being held. cnn reporter peter hamby joining us from orlando, florida. peter, why is the contest there, florida, florida, florida, considered so important? >> reporter: florida will be the state in the general election, no doubt next year, one of them, one of the major swing states. but the state republican primary will be pivotal. the candidates believe, people in florida believe it was for john mccain in 2008 when he defeated mitt romney and catapulted himself to presidency. presidency five is the name of the confab, a philly day event, started with a debate thursday

night, a conference where they all spoke. today a straw poll where 3500 or so republican activists will cast a vote in the straw poll and pick for president. rick perry is the only candidate competing in the straw poll, courting the delegates. he's expected to win. if he doesn't win, that would be a big surprise, fred. >> let's talk about another straw poll, this one being held in michigan. what's at stake there. >> mackinac island, a beautiful resort in the northern peninsula of michigan. they always have this big republican conference out there. a lot of republican activists and insiders there. influential people, not regular voters, donors, influential activist types. mitt romney, rick perry, two front-runners for the republican nomination are speaking there. perry spoke here in florida and flew up there. they will also have a straw poll. two important tests of support very informal, not decisive. it will give you a good sense of

whether or not that debate had an impact on the thinking of these republican activists. >> at that conference in michigan, what's the message this needs to be hit home? >> reporter: well, i think the debate again on thursday kind of reframed the contest, the presidential contest at this point. because as you saw, rick perry took some elbows owned issues like immigration, social security, federal education policy. he was kind of on his heels. mitt romney was thought to have a very good debate. he's kind of trending upward. you're going to see perry kind of aggressively go after romney a little bit more. he spoke here in florida today and i was there. he really criticized romney for being inauthentic and slick. expect to hear more of that in michigan tonight. >> all right. lots morifying words i'm sure. peter hamby, thanks so much, in orlando. let's move across seas now to middle east. the palestinian authorities foreign minister says he's hoping for quick action on the palestinian push for full united

nations membership at the united nations. palestinian president mahmoud abbas put forth. they will discuss the request come monday. he's hoping a vote will come soon. this empty blue chair resembling one at the u.n. has turned into an emotional symbol of the palestinian bid. it has been on tour at the u.n. this week. both abbas and israeli prime minister netanyahu addressed the palestinian and state hood issue during their time at the podium. >> translator: this is a moment of truth. our people are waiting to hear the answer. will it allow israel to continue the last occupation in the world? >> the palestinians should first make peace with israel and then

get their state. >> cnn state department producer ali is with us. how has the crisis been averted or has it. >> all the world leaders here in new york is considered a big week. the u.s. was desperate to avoid a u.s. veto this week. also in the long-term because it really doesn't think that's the best way to go to negotiations. they are afraid this will raise palestinian expectations and there will be violence. what he did, president abbas left this sword over the neck of the international community, did force a vote. now the u.n. security council is meeting monday and palestinian officials do tell me they expect a quick vote at the u.n. security council. maybe not two weeks but in the near future.

they think they have enough votes, you need a nine vote majority. we know the u.s. will veto. they say u.s. be dammed, we want the council to take action and we'll decide on our next steps. >> we'll see what happens come monday. thanks so much. shane and sarah, you have come to know the names. hikers held in iran are planning a future together now in oman. also interview with levi johnston. he will give us insight to life in the palin home.

received in an assassination attempt back in june. the two american hikers released days ago by iran are still in oman celebrating their freedom. one of them has taken a rather big step. cnn's mohammed janjun is in oman. this is quite a story, isn't it? >> reporter: yes. the initial engagement happened while they were in prison. last night we got word and an exclusive image that a new engagement, official engagement happened here at the palace hotel. there's a picture showing shane bauer putting a ring on sarah shourd's finger. this is the actual ring not the ring he gave her in prison, a string from his shirt. can you see it in the smile on

her face. that really says it all. sarah shourd said in an interview they had gotten engaged in prison to basically sustain themselves in prison, to hope for their future together. now that couple is reunited. we saw the other night on wednesday, one of the most anticipated reunions. all eyes were on shane bauer and sarah shourd. they were embracing, kissing on the tarmac after shane got off the plane. they even gave each other flowers. a very romantic reunion and engagement that's taken place in a much more romantic setting than the initial engagement they had when they were in prison together. >> that's beautiful. everyone wishes them well. as it pertains to shane and josh, when might they, along with everybody else, be coming back to the u.s.? >> reporter: fredricka, we're still not sure. shane and josh and the family has been quiet here in muscat.

we're told the first day shane and josh were getting medical tests done, having quiet time with their families. we heard after this engagement ceremony what happened, this was last night. omani officials said 24 to 48 hours. we expect they will leave fairly soon and head back to the u.s. we've heard from officials here that basically shane and josh and sarah have really enjoyed being reunited. we should add josh fattal, the third american hiker released, on that plane with shane the other night, he is planning to be the best man at the wedding when shane and sarah finally do get married. >> mohammed jamjoom, nice to see the smiles and all these pictures we're enjoying right now. thank you. meantime, this was quite the horrible nightmare. she was kidnapped and held captive 18 years by a convicted rapist. now jaycee dugard wants the government, federal government to pay for her lost childhood.

about adding adventure to your next trip, you're not alone. many people are taking their vacation to the edge. you need to be prepared if something goes wrong. >> people don't realize their normal medical health insurance doesn't always cover what you're doing on an adventure. >> reporter: supplemental insurance can be purchased on time up to an hour before you leave. if you want your own gear, it can cost you. airlines charge for equipment more than $50 pounds or longer than two inches like a surfboard or skis. >> when it comes to big gear, i generally recommend people rent on location. >> reporter: when you get to your destination, you may need time to get acclimated, especially in the mountains. >> you want to make sure you have enough time for your body to get used to the new oxygen levels. >> reporter: if you are diving, take a break before the flight home. >> the general rule is 12 to 24 hours after your last dive. that's when you're going to be safe to fly. >> reporter: consider the extra time a chance to relax on the go.

remember the name jaycee dugard? she is suing. she's not suing who kidnapped her and held her captive for 18 years, they are behind bars. she's actually going after the united states government. let's bring in our legal guys avery friedman, civil rights attorney in cleveland. hello. arnold richard herman, criminal defense attorney and law professor joining us from plantation, florida. okay, gentlemen, good to see you. good locations. >> good to see you. i call your name. >> come on, avery, come on,

fred. >> you won't hear me sing, not again. >> we'll be your back-up. >> i'm sure you will when the cameras are off and the mikes are off after that. again, i'm hearing the voice. >> no escape. >> i'm trying to escape. what was i thinking. okay. now, let's talk about jaycee dugard. she already won a settlement from the state of california for the oversight, for the neglect, she says, for not coming to her rescue when all the signs are there. now she's going after the federal government. in what capacity, avery? >> under the federal tort claims act. when i saw this initially, fredricka, i was very skeptical about where it was going. when you see what happened, there was only a 25-minute interview 12 years ago and ignoring therapists and other probation officers recommended he be let out, the parole

commission bought it. 50-year sentence, they let him out after 10 years. look what happened. that's the underlying argument here. >> whattert chances of this argument, richard? >> this argument is going to be great, fred. because in addition to what avery just said, apparently the feds forgot to communicate with the state concerning everything they knew about garrido. as we know she already settled with the state for $20 million. now she's going after the feds. she has said, whatever i win against the united states, i'm going to donate this to charity to try to help, so this situation never occurs again in the future. that's her goal. it's pretty stellar, and it's going to be very difficult if she gets up in front of a jury. i don't believe this case is going to go to trial. i absolutely believe there's going to be a resolution here. >> what kind of money are we talking about? what potential settlement here. >> multiple millions of dollars. >> multiple millions of dollars. this is horrific, enslavement,

child abuse, rape. >> unprecedented attempt at finding responsibility or claiming some some responsibility in the government arm trying to enforce and protect others becoming victims like this. >> you nailed the issue. that's exactly what's going on here. this is federal tort claims act. procedural issues, the judge may not even let it get to that resolution. but i do agree. i think this matter is going to get resolved and we'll never see a verdict. there will be a resolution. >> like you said, richard, she said if she's going to be awarded finances from the federal government, it will go to her foundation she has set up to help other young children who have endured or are enduring the same things she encountered over that 18-year period. let's move on now to a very interesting case, this lead paint. some argue it's reminiscent of

tuskegee institute. people claimed they were enticed, richard, into living in lead paint housing. >> they went for treatment because they were not feeling well. they were showing symptoms of lead paint in their system. so they went to this facility to be treated. apparently what the facility says is in the early '90s when we took these children in, we established them in low income housing under the guise of our experiments many showed lower levels or the same, so we were helping them. as we see now ten years plus, these children are now of age. they have to file lawsuits because the statute of limitations are going to run and they are. there was no disclosure. they were not told what their blood levels were. they were not told they were constantly being exposed to lead in their blood. >> go ahead, avery. >> it's a little bit more

complicated, i think. i think it's a little more complicated. the kennedy kraeger institute was engaged to funnel money to landlords to abate iron and lead. part of the responsibility once the landlord represented they were lead-free they made referrals. it's by no means a slam-dunk. a very important case, an appeals court, fredricka, exact right compared it to tuskegee syphilis testing, a horrendous chapter. >> the krieger snout saying that analogy is misplaced. meantime -- what's the ling between them and john hopkins. why would they not be part of this lawsuit? >> kki was a function. the treatment part of it was through johns hopkins. the reason they are not a

defendant, they should not be. kki funded getting rid of lead and the treatment was a secondary thing. referral is what happened. if there's liability it remains to be seen. this is not -- >> john hopkins approved this, every step of the way approved it. kennedy krieger performed -- their scientists were monitoring and they knew what was going on with these children and they failed to disclose it to the children. that's the big issue. that's going to give them liability. the utter failure to advise the children and their families what they were being exposed to to give them an opportunity to get away from it. that's where the liability is going to come to. >> nothing to do with johns hopkins. nothing to do with johns hopkins. >> we'll see what the outcome ends up being. >> we'll see. >> we'll follow up on that. we'll see you again. we will not be singing, i promise. it's not going to happen. >> sing us out now, fred. >> no way. but we've got other legal cases.

i won't be singing. we're going to take a little later about seaworld. again, this time it is in court. we're going to talk about what's taking place. this linking back to the death of one of its whale trainers. you remember that. we'll get into that case right after this. this is the dodge journey. it comes with things like the enhanced accident response system and the peace of mind of knowing it's a 2011 iihs top safety pick. we built it so you'd get out and explore the world. ♪ and to prove we're serious, we left this one somewhere. you won't find it online, but it might help you figure out where it might be.

bristol palin. he a lot of access to sarah palin's family. something he wrote about in "deer in the headlights, my life in sarah palin's crosshairs." i asked him if he was able to have -- if he still has a relationship with his son. >> the relationship is not good. i expected that. i don't see tripp nearly as often as i'd like to. we're going to court soon. it will all be fixed. >> what's the obstacle? what's the problem? >> as far as court? >> being able to see your son more than you want to, than you are. >> she's got a house in arizona as well as her mother. they travel a lot. she's filming in l.a. i am gone, too, but not near as often. i'm spending 90% of my time in alaska. i'm supposed to see him twice a week. that really hasn't happened in quite some time. >> where are you on whether you're voting republican or

closing arguments are under way in the amanda knox appeal trial in italy. she's the american college student convicted of murdering her british roommate in italy.

our laem legal guys are back, avery cleveland, richard herman in plantation, florida. all right, richard. you say you see amanda knox making her way back to u.s. soil. >> i kind of think so at this point, fred. avery, how weird does this sound. there's going to be a verdict next week. the six jurors and two judges are going to come to a resolution next week. apparently 50% of the case that go on appeal in italy have some for form of reversal in them. the united states has put tremendous pressure on the italian government due to the perceived lack of evidence, even though she does not have an alibi for that evening. but the dna was knocked out. that was a substantial blow to the prosecution's case. i just kind of believe the mood and i can feel a little sense there's going to be a substantial diminishment of her

prison time or she very well may be put free next week. >> avery, why are you so skeptical, even with the diminishing of the dna evidence that helped convict her? >> i'm not skeptical but i think i'm hearing a reversal on my colleague's part. i thought richard said there was definitely going to be a conviction. as it evolves we have changing opinions. mine is not. i predicted an acquittal or substantial reduction of time. the prosecutors argued remember the victim. they are not arguing remember the evidence. they are even coming up with things that aren't even in the record like she had a flight going on home. they are claiming openly to the jury and the judges that media is interfering in so many -- i think these are desperate arguments, fredricka. the bottom line, substantial reduction or acquittal. i think she's coming back home.

>> you do? what we've seen in italy, the appellate process, is this fairly typical or is this typical because of the high-profile case? >> fred, it's completely foreign to me, italy. it really is. i've never read anything like this. this is my first experience with any type of appellate procedure like this. but apparently, again, when they drink their espressos with their biscottis, everyone is talking about this case in italy. there's a lot of pressure to let her go. when that dna got knocked out, that was a terrible blow to the prosecution's case. there's not going to be an acquittal. there could be a substantial reduction or could very well be on the plane next week. the victim's family -- >> wait, wait, wait. there are arguments. >> if she were to be released. >> actually the arguments are

not done. we're going to hear from the victim's lawyer, meredith kercher. we're going to hear from amanda's lawyers. listen to this. amanda may very well be presenting personally an argument to the jury. we never see that in america. we're going to see it in italy. >> very fascinating. let's move onto a case involving seaworld. here we're talking about, everybody recalls what happened in 2010, the killing of a trainer by a killer whale. now seaworld is in court facing allegations by the department of labor's occupational safety and health administration. so osha is saying you owe it to your employees to ensure their safety. but seaworld is saying, you don't understand sea mammals. you don't understand these creatures. it's really not that plain and simple. right, avery? >> fred, you know - >> a $75 fine, three citations. in one sense, fredricka, they

are saying inadequately trained. and their key witness is seaworld's former trainer curator. so they have a good shot at affirming this. they are not worried about the $75,000. they are worried about the wrongful death suit by the estate of dawn brancheau, the trainer who was killed. >> richard, how do you see this? >> the issue is whether seaworld kept accurate records of the behavior and propensity of this, quote, killer, end quote, whale. at the end of the day, no one forced this trainer to jump into a swimming pool with a quote, killer unquote whale. these are not like puppy dogs. these are wild, vicious animals. she's intentionally on her own, with knowledge and intent, jumping into this swimming pool with them. you know, chris rock -- it's a tragedy she died. chris rock talked about with

siegfried and roy, the lion did what lions do. this animal is in captivity. you can't train them to do everything you want them to do. they have certain propensities. >> you can't ignore safety precautions. >> that case is going to be -- >> there's an assumption of the risk there, fred. there's an assumption of the risk. >> we'll see how it unfolds. thanks so much. richard, avery. always good to see your name. >> i'll call your name, fred. >> get him on the show. no doubt about it. >> dynamite, guys. have a great one. we'll be right back with much more of the newsroom. are you curious about new ideas?
