brooke sits down with artists as they travel through atlanta. if you want to see some of had her other "music monday" interviews, check out cnn.com/broome. top of the hour. i'm martin savidge, in for brooke baldwin. herman cain is on damage control. many employees forced to pay more because of weight or lifestyle. and millions right now without power. it is time to play reporter roulette. joe johns in washington, the political world is abuzz involving herman cain. what's the latest? >> the latest is that herman cain says this is a witch hunt. this all started with a report in politico which claimed that there were two women who charged him with various forms of sexual impropriety, if you will, improper conduct, in the 1990s when herman cain was working at the national restaurant association. the report was that there was
12:02 pm
actually some type of a settlement and that the settlement was sealed. well, now we know from a speech and question and answer session at the press club here in washington, d.c., that herman cain says he was falsely accused of sexual harassment. he says he didn't know that there was a payout, and, if there was, he says he hopes it was a small one. in his view, again, a witch hunt. that's about where we stand. >> joe, all of this comes out of course when herman cain reaches the top of the leaderboard, so to speak. any chance this came from a rival campaign? >> million-dollar campaign. we have asked politico the question. we had one person who actually said it came from a tip, not specifying where that tip came from. another reporter who worked on the story saying this was just a lot of hard work over several weeks, done by politico. so still trying to flesh that out, as you know reporters want to keep their sources a secret if they can.
12:03 pm
a lot of people, when a story like this comes out, always want to know the source of it so they can sort of judge the motivation. but you're certainly asking the right question there. >> joe johns, we'll continue to follow it. thanks. meanwhile, next on reporter roulet roulette, more companies are targeting employees because they smoke or they are obese. karina huber live in new york. karina, these workers are about to pay more when it comes to insurance, right? >> that's right, martin. eye new study finds that nearly 40% of employers will penalize their workers next year if they are obese or if they smoke. that's a big jump from back in 2009 when it was 9%. at the moment, some state workers already pay more like in south carolina and georgia, but some of the private employers like walmart, the nation's largest private lawyer, will charge tobacco users higher premiums next year, but they'll operate on the honor system and not test specifically if you have nicotine in your blood. other companies use medical screenings.
12:04 pm
>> and what is behind all of this? >> well, of course this is about rising health care costs. they are soaring. and not only for workers, in most cases it's actually employers who actually pay more than we do. a kaiser family foundation study found next year it will cost an extra $1,300 for family insurance. essentially employers are trying to get you to make more healthy decisions that could ekwailt to less sick days and less visit totz doctors. not everyone is in favor of this. critics are saying it's invasion of lifestyle, attack on lifestyle. >> thank you, karina. maybe a little financial incentive. next, cnn meteorologist chad myers is in york, pennsylvania, a town still woozy after a weekend pounding. how are the people of york recovering today? >> reporter: finally getting back to normal. only 6,000 people now without power in woryork.
12:05 pm
not bad compared to where we were. we were the first to get snow, also the first to get sun. rarely do you go on a blizzard event and then have to worry about snow screen. there's not enough snow to make a snow bawl, which is good. we got about ten inches of snow and all of a sudden the sun came out yesterday and it went straight into the ground. even the crews here talking about, when is the mower coming out? but the people to the northeast, they actually got much more snow than we did, compared to 10 inches here to 20, 30 inches for massachusetts through connecticut, parts of upstate new york, even northeastern through the delaware water gap. that's where most of the power lines are still down. that's where we're talking about the millions of people still without power, marty. that won't be over for the next couple of daze. so many power lines are down after the weight of the snow on the leaves took the power lines to the ground. now they all have to go back up. they won't go back up in unison. they'll get one line up per crew. they prioritize the line.
12:06 pm
if that line on the ground can get 5,000 people back online, they're going to put that line up a lot sooner than they're going to put your line up if it's on your property and you're the only person that's going to get power back. that's how they prioritize what they can do for the most people they can at a time. so this isn't over by any stretch. i don't even think by friday everyone will have power back across the northeast. >> chad myers, a remarkable storm. thanks very much. that is today's reporter roulette. still ahead on this halloween, a disturbing story out of missouri. what a worker found inside a haunted house that involved a noose and a young woman. plus, how far is too far? disturbing video of a boot camp for kids, now a criminal investigation. you'll see it. also, justin bieber says one senator should be locked up because of her stance on mufbsi

12:15 pm
most of us who fly have been stuck sitting on the tarmac, but did you hear what happened to the passengers on a jetblue flight from ft. lauderdale to newark over the weekend? the snowstorm that socked the northeast diverted flight 504 to hartford, connecticut. that's where the plane sat on the tarmac for about eight hours. this was supposed to be a pretty short flight. there wasn't much food or water on board and the bathrooms quickly backed up. even the pilot was frustrated. listen. >> look, we can't seem to get any help from our own company. i apologize for this. but is there any way you can get a tug and a towbar out here to us and get us towed somewhere to a gate or something. i don't care. take us anywhere. >> at one point, the pilot was almost pleading but ready to take matters into his own hands. >> i have a paramreej ick on board that needs to come off.
12:16 pm
i have a diabetic that has issues. a list of things. i just need some help. >> roger, do you need a paramedic? >> no. we have a fire truck. i don't know who all the players are, but it looks like they've got it covered. my priority right now is a tug and a towbar. if you give me a wedding shop i'll build one myself. >> jim, a retired pilot in phoenix, have you ever been in a situation like this? >> never. absolutely not at all, and i'm glad i wasn't and i hope i never am. i think this whole thing did not have to happen, martin. >> we're going to get into this, but i want to play a clip for you again. we'll talk about it afterwards. >> look, you know, we can't seem to get any help from our own company. i apologize for this, but is there any way you can get a tug and a towbar out here to us and get us towed somewhere to a gate
12:17 pm
or something? i don't care. take us anywhere. >> well, the pilot is obviously frustrated with the airline, but who really is in charge in a situation like this? is it the airline? is it the airport? >> it's the airline to begin with. let me back up a little bit, martin. they never should have taken off. they never should have take be off. let me tell you, chad myers on cnn a good 24 hours or more before this storm hit forecast it. he talked about the specifics of it, how many people would be out of power, how many cities would be inundated by this. all that. so this whole idea about this being a surprise storm just forget it. that's not the case. so the airline should have known that they were flying into a zone that may have some great difficulties. knowing that, they should also have planned for diversions to airports outside of the snow zone. you know, we're just talking about a little bit more newly to fly another hundred miles one
12:18 pm
way or another and you don't have any of these problems. once you get into that, now it's the slippery slope, just about every decision you make is going to be a bad one. >> well, and the airline did point out, as it says, it was a very severe storm, they had to divert a number of its aircraft to a number of places fltd and this was one of those things. but as you point out, if they had just been, well, listening to the weather forecast, this could have been figured out ahead of time. why don't they do that? >> i have no idea why they don't. they have their own meteorology people. they have all kinds of access. they have cnn to take a look at. they have every reason to understand what's going on. yet they flew into this thing knowing full well that they may have problems. that's okay. but if you're going to do that, you have to put enough fuel on the airplane so you have options once you get near your destination. airlines now routinely, more than ever before, are skimpy on fuel. they think it's going to cost them much too much to ferry fuel
12:19 pm
unnecessarily so pilots are kind of left in the dark in terms of making the decision about how much fuel is on board. so that is a large thing in terms of where they could go and why. >> well, let me read the statement that jetblue has put out because we fwheed to give them their due. getting all the flights deplaned at the same time in a small airport is not unlike trying to get an elephant into a smart car. it's not an easy fit. but i think as we already pointed out here, jim, it's not so much the problem or getting into it, it's how you get out of it. you say the best way to get out of this one was for jetblue to what, cancel all of their flights? >> absolutely. absolutely. it's done every day these days, given the kind of fines that could be levied on these airlines for problems on the tarmac like this. so a lot of airlines are now canceling flights before they take that chance. but if you're going to take the chance, okay, put enough fuel on board to have options to go someplace where we can be serviced properly. and once you're on the ground,
12:20 pm
look, jetblue flies into hartford. it's not in the middle of nowhere and they have crews there. you can't tell me they couldn't get a truck to back up there and dump those lavs. you can't tell me you couldn't get access tore sandwiches or food or water to those passengers on the airplane once they got into this mess. i'm really appalled by this. it puts a bad mark on the aviation industry and not necessarily because of something that you couldn't do anything about. >> jetblue is saying, jim, that the passengers of 504 are not eligible for compensation. do you think, one, is it true? who decides that, but could that change? >> i think passengers on jetblue's attorneys are going to determine whether or not they're eligible for compensation of any kind. i think they were treated in a terrible fashion, and i think the airline owes them a lot more than just a couple of bucks. i think it -- this is one of those cases where the passenger bill of rights really should be laid out and have it really affect that airline and any
12:21 pm
other airline thinking about doing something that's a no-brainer. >> jim 'ttilmon, thank you so much. >> thank you. that little plan that i just shared with you doesn't force the granite state to expand your tax footprint, if you know what i mean, like 9% expansion. >> rick perry off the cuff and definitely very loose. there were many more of those moments and you'll hear them next. but first look at the big board, the dow down 200 points as we approach the closing bell. every time a local business opens its doors or creates another laptop bag

12:26 pm

12:28 pm
the top ten of my high school class. was that on my resume? >> once again, that was texas governor rick perry speaking friday evening in manchester, new hampshire. perry now has agreed to appear at our next cnn debate, and that is scheduled for the 22nd of november. time now for an america's choice 2012 politics update. republican herman cain strongly denying a published report that he sexually harassed two former employees. he says he knows nothing about reported payouts to his alleged accusers. >> in all of my over 40 years of business experience running businesses and corporations, i have never sexually harassed anyone. number two, while at the restaurant association, i was
12:29 pm
accused of sexual harassment. falsely accused, i might add. i was falsely accused of sexual harassment, and when the charges were brought, as the leader of the organization, i recused myself and allowed my counsel and my human resource officer to deal with the situation. and it was concluded, after a thorough investigation, that it had no basis. >> cnn's chief political analyst gloria borger joins me now. gloria, did herman cain answer all the questions really surrounding these allegations? >> no, i don't think he did. i think he'll have more questions as a result. while he said that he knew about these charges that he'd been falsely accused, he also told us he had recused himself as head of the association from any investigation, but he told us he
12:30 pm
didn't know about any payout. well, that kind of, if you ask me, strains a little cred youul there. he knew he was cleared but didn't know there was a payout? the women ended up leaving so he might have noted that. >> what is this going to do to his campaign? some will be critical but others will rally. >> absolutely. i think that evangelicals would be a good place to start. i believe that they will rally around him because he's denied all of these charges and they will rally around him forcefully. they will blame the media or other campaigns or whomever else. this is a candidate who said today that he has a target on his back. but, let me say this, if this unravels on herman cain and things become known that are not known now, i believe evangelicals would turn on him with a great deal of force. so i think this is a very tricky situation. i think the other campaigns stay
12:31 pm
far away from this right now, but obviously if something were to happen to herman cain that would be good for rick perry, the man you just showed a few moments ago. so, for now, i think, martin, this kind of freezes the race as people watch how mr. cain and his campaign extricate them selves from this problem. >> a lot of people will be watching, including us. gloria borger, thanks very much. >> you bet. stunning video. it shows life inside a boot camp for at-risk kids. tough love? or just plain too tough? decide for yourself. plus -- mother finds her teenage daughter stabbed after a home invasion. she later died. now investigators say coins could be the biggest clue to solving her murder. sunny hostin is "on the case" and that is next. e, improve the health of your skin with aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. the natural oatmeal formula goes beyond 24-hour moisture.

coins may be the clue that solve the brutal murder of a 14-year-old girl. police think that kelly owe laughlin came home and walked in on a burglar. she was found by her mother and was rushed to the homt. but she died. sunny hostin is "on the case." how could a set of coins, something like that, solve a killing like this? >> well, these rare coins, martin, were stolen from the home, and when i say rare, i mean rare. there's apparently one $10 gaming token commemorating the 50th anniversary of the flamingo las vegas hotel. so those folks that have these coins could possibly be implicated in her murder. this is just good old-fashioned police work. they've contacted pawnshops in the area. they've contacted local coin shops. and this could very well lead to many, many leads in this case. >> well, i understand the police have been questioning a man suspected of at least one burglary in the area over the summer so i'm wondering, you
12:36 pm
know, are they looking at him as a possible suspect here, or do you just bring him in because of what happened in the past? >> well, he isn't a prime suspect, is my understanding, martin, but they are looking at him. he is part of the investigation. he is in custody right now on a warrant related to something else, but not the prime suspect. certainly part of the investigation. >> we'll wait and see how that develops. in the meantime, we've all seen talk shows featuring boot camps for troubled kids. but some video from one of those camps is raising a lot more than just eyebrows. take a look at this. >> sunny, this has prompted an
12:37 pm
investigation in pasadena, california. what kind of charges could people in this video face is it criminal child abuse? >> no question about it. it's just so clear. and look how disturbing there video is. i'm certain that we don't have all of the information and all of the evidence of things that happened here to this child and to others. it's -- i see that it's very clearly criminal child abuse. we're talking about willful cruelty, that would be considered in california. the other thing is unlawful corporal punish tmentpunishment. you've got not one, not two, but four adults screaming at this child. i think there's part of the video where you hear this sort of blood-curdling scream coming from the child. it's really just unbelievable. when i take my lawyer hat off and put my mommy hat on, it's just infuriating. we've seen so many teens be abused in these boot camps, and some have died. there was a government report done a couple of years ago, and there were ten instances
12:38 pm
reported where children died in these sorts of circumstances. so we can't sort of overemphasize how cruel and unjust some of the behavior that we're seeing on this video is. >> no doubt about that at all. sunny hostin, thank you very much for joining us. just hours from now, nato's mission in libya will be over. seven months and thousands of air strikes later, nato will stop its operation against moammar gadhafi's regime. cnn's matthew chance just landed in tripoli. what he has to say about the milestone, that's coming up next [ male announcer ] are you considering a new medicare plan?

here, the libyan capital. >> we have been are to protect civilians and that nation has been a great -- massacre. we have saved countless lives. we have fully -- the united nations mandate. that was our mission, and we have gotten what we promised to get. >> reporter: libyan leaders expressing some concern that nato may be leaving too soon. thier still very worried about the threats posed by different factions, possibly gadhafi supporters mustering themselves and posing a security threat as well. but nato is adamant they are in 2 1/2 hours from now approximately ending their mission in the skies over libya, marty. >> matthew, the country's new leaders are saying they found some of gadhafi's chemical weapons. i guess we can assume now that they are in safe hands?
12:43 pm
>> reporter: well, they certainly will be, that's right. the prime minister of the country, jibril, saying the chemical weapons stores had been located in the country. the international authorities have been informed according to the interim government here in libya and inspectors are expected to come to libya to deal with the issue later this week. and so that's something that's solved a lot of concern. it is one of the big concerns of nato also. i spoke to the secretary-general about this. if there are any weapons, caches, around the country, arms dumps, they should be brought under control very quickly. >> matthew chance reporting from libya, thanks very much. back home, one senator should be, quote, locked p up. that's what hoeart throb justin bieber is saying about a senator is saying about music. i'll tell you what she's pushing that would affect the industry
