police show up, they tried to take off in the plane. as you see in that video, police clipped the side of the plane. the smugglers are forced to exit. five people are arrested. actually, it was not drugs. they were smuggling electronic equipment. >> electronics. like what? >> computers, notebooks, and they found a bicycle on the plane as well. >> and also fascinating. something you send me earlier. the fact they do this. police, they have to be familiar with stopping planes. >> that's right. according to the police chief there, he said that they've carefully studied this tactic. no one was injured in this. and this is actually the 12th plane in the last five years. the 12th smuggling plane in the last five years that they've caught. >> wow! thank you very much. next on the reporter roulette, let's go to ali velshi at the summit of economic powers. this time yesterday you and i were talking about curse words. remember this? we were talking about how there was probably going to be a little swearing. some colorful language behind

those closed doors in that meeting with sarkozy and merkel. sure enough, the greek prime minister has done this 180 with regard to his stance on the bailout deal. tell me about it. >> reporter: i think he's done a 360. let me tell you. this time yesterday, the meeting was underway. between sarkozy and merkel from france and germany. on this deal to fix the european economic system, greece might even get kicked out of the euro zone. this all happened late last night. we spent the morning worrying about this. then we thought maybe they have a deal. for the last few hours we're saying maybe there won't be a referendum. now it is all murky and unclear again. the leader of the opposition in greece is calling for papandreou to resign. he only has a two-seat lead in parliament so who knows what will happen. we're back to the drawing boards. all this tang about whether

greece would scuttle the deal. tensions dropped. now we're back into it. 24 hours laerkt we are no closer to knowing whether this euro deal is going through or not. and that will affect everybody in the world. >> fears of debt contagion globally. how could this problem in greece potentially wash ashore for us here in the u.s.? >> reporter: well, there are three distinct ways. first greece is the 32nd biggest economy in the world. generally speaking insignificant. but today greece is the most important country in the world. because three things will happen. one is these markets keep fluctuating. we've been talking about the markets fluctuating. number two, if this deal doesn't go through, europe could take another leg down economically. europe is the biggest trading partner with america and with many places. if europeans are not doing well, they don't buy thing and that means jobs, possibly even in the united states. and number three, you said it. the debt contagion. we saw what happened when lehman brothers failed.

people stopped lending each other money. that could happen again. that could trickle down to people trying to get a mortgage or a small business loan. bank there's seize up again not knowing what the next shoe to drop is. three distinct ways in which everybody in the world should be very concerned with what's going to in athens right now. >> in france for us, thank you. next, it started out as a peaceful occupy protest. let's to go dan in oakland, california. >> these protests continue to make headlines in part because of the vandalism that we're continuing to see here on the street of oakland. you can see this worker right here trying to get some of the graffiti off. this is a dental center. we're seeing this all throughout downtown oakland. also a lot of smashed windows. we should point out these protesters like to say that it is the 99% versus the 1%. but they have their own 1%. these are people who are intent on clashing with police. this was a very peaceful protest

that we saw yesterday. protesters going through the streets. blocking banks, going to the port of oakland, actually shut downing port but they did so in a peaceful manner. as soon as you sun went down, you saw the mayhem. this group of protesters, more like anarchists coming to the streets. spray painting buildings. breaking windows. et cetera. so that's why you saw that violent confrontation. for the most part yesterday was peaceful. >> what a scene there. dan simon, thank you. next on reporter roulette, a new report raises concerns about a popular stop smoking drug. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen here to talk about the potential alarming side of chantix. >> you might think this is a great drug to take to stop smoking. we already knew that folks who took it seemed to have more violent and aggressive behavior. what this study says is they seal to be more likely to think

about suicide and commit suicide. they compared chantix users to those who used other cessation methods and they were. more likely to be suicidal. >> wow! what is pfizer saying? >> the drug maker saying what there appears to be a relationship between sue side and a drug, it's not necessarily the drug that caused it. maybe these people were suicidal anyhow. they're saying there's no cause and effect here. and the fda says this is a safe and effecty drug. and they have actually put a warning on it but they say it is still safe and effective. >> so it still has the fda stamp of approval. >> it does. >> if you are looking to quit, you have other options. >> this is where you want to be a smart, empowered patient. you want to think this through. the results for chantix are no better than the results for other smoking cessation things like say the patch. it doesn't work any better from the experts we've talked to. many doctors say why would you want to take it since there are these concerns. you want to be an empowered

patient. think about how to quit. first here are some tips. we wanted to give tips because this is such a big problem. pick a quit day. say monday will be my day. and tell people that you're quitting. if i say i'm going to be quitting on this today. support me. >> when you see me with a cigarette -- >> not that i smoke, i want to be cleempl but getting your friends to support you is very important. and then getting support for people in your situation is important, too. get cigarettes out of the house. just get them out. that way when you're tempted, you won't smoke. and if you go to cnn.com/empowered patient, we have more information for people who are trying to quit smoking. >> if you want to kick the habit, you have options. >> this is not the only drug. >> thank you. that's your reporter roulette for thursday. still ahead, he is a judge in texas and his daughter posted a video showing him beating her over and over with a belt. there is so much more to this

family secret than simply the video. you'll hear from the daughter coming up. >> plus, suddenly this scandal involving herman cain has sparked fighting. they are pointing fingers over who may have leaked the story. candy crowley all over it. also this. >> you made a huge mistake by taking one of us. release him and if anything happens to him, you will always remember this upcoming november 5th. >> battle of the shadows. a seek hacker group threatening drug gangs in violence. these hackers may be backing off their threat out of fear. >> the obama administration under investigation. the white house i know what the vice president's office, about to be slapped with subpoenas. ♪ for spacious skies ♪ ♪ for amber waves of grain

if it's interesting and happening right now, you're about to see it. rapid fire. the white house and the vice president's office about to be served with subpoenas. they are part of the investigation into the loan guarantees for solyndra. that failed solar energy company that got $535 million in federal loan guarantees. republicans say the obama administration owes them answers. meantime the democrat are worried the development of alternative energy in general will suffer. the white house has just responded saying it willing to cooperate but calling the subpoenas unprecedented and unwarranted. >> the manslaughter case against michael jackson's doctor getting closer to the jury by the minute. prosecutors with closing arguments in the trial of dr. conrad murray. they contend murray's use of propofol to make jackson sleep is what killed the pop star.

they're up next with their close them hope to prove that jackson took sedatives and gave the fail dose of propofol when murray wasn't looking. ted rowlands just said the jury could get the case by the end of the day. in texas, flame erupt in this home. five family members manage to escape. in the rush and the hurry they realized they left behind a 3-year-old little girl. that's when a police officer shows up and goes in. >> he shoved this bed. he said when he looked down, he seen her little hands coming up from under the bed. he just yanked her out. >> do you remember the man pulling you out? >> yes. >> the officer awarded the medal of valor. the little girl you see right there, she's doing a-okay. a mangled mass, flames leaping from freight train cars piled up like match sticks. take a look at this scene. this is bartlett, illinois. this morning reports of at least eight cars derailed. sparking this massive fire and

causing by the looks of things, a traffic nightmare. none of the cars though contain hazardous material. and a school bus crashes into a house. >> i come out and i look and i see orange through my window. >> that orange of the school bus there had just finished dropping off elementary school students when it had some kind of brake failure. everyone is okay. but by the looks of the home, maybe not so much. coming up next, i'm going to speak with one of my favorite people, now on cnn. one of the smartest men on television. mr. fareed zakaria. can this country produce more geniuses like bill gates? wait until you hear what bill gates told him. but first, i want to get to today's list. which by the way comes from fareed's own team. for the upcoming education special, they looked at the top

subjects college stoongts are studying. ranked by the percentage of bachelor degrees awarded. number seven, down to number seven is engineering. and i bet he may have a little something to say about that. he's talking about innovation. and number 6, visual and performing arts. number 5, psychology. number 4, education, and i should point out, all. degrees we've mentioned thus far, each account for about 5% of the degrees handed out in total. we'll show you the top three after this quick break.

what are american college students getting their degrees in? is yours on this list? the department of education says

the third most popular degree is the health profession. two, thus the song, i suppose. social science and history. the top bachelor' degree, did you guess this? more than 21% of american students went for business degrees. also, that happens to be the most popular among international students coming to the states, getting their degrees as well. we wanted to show that you list as we continue to try to focus in on education today. i want to welcome back my friend fareed zakaria who is focusing on education on his show. good to see you again. we shared these numbers yesterday. i think it is just word revisiting. let's throw the numbers up. first as a nation we are ranked 15th when it come to reading. reading education. this is a brand new study. math, number 23. and in science, 31st in the world. so it wasn't always this way, as you pointed out yesterday.

as the voice for public education you cite the late steve jobs who attended public schools in california in the '60s and the '70s. what were those schools like? the ones that produced the steve jobs, compared to what we have now in 2011? >> brooke, it's a fascinating comparison. it is just one generation ago. in 1972, steve jobs graduated from home steady high in cupertino, california. the public schools were at that time ranked number one schools in the country and public education in america was considered the envy of the world. good schools, good teachers, well-run and homestead high where jobs went had a very good technology program and a very good liberal arts program. the two streams that he married together in all his products were there from the start. it was where he met steve wozniak. the scientific guy who founded apple computer with him. this is what public education in

america used to do. it used to take working class kids. remember jobs' father was a machinist. and it would move them into higher and higher paying jobs and higher and higher paying professions. that's what has collapsed. california schools now rank at the bottom of the country. california spends twice as much on prisons as it does on schools. so it is a tale of when one generation, we slacked off and declined and the rest of the world caught up. >> you mentioned two computer guys. bo sunday we know bill gates has spent a lot of his fortune to improve education. you asked bill gates about our current fixation on tests. let's listen to what he said. >> gates dropped out of college, spent hours and hours in computer labs just dreaming up stuff. this was not working methodically toward a test. what do you say to that? >> well, certainly if my example

is meaningful, it is just one data point. being good at math and having that knowledge was critical to my being able to understand computers, to write code. to understand logic. and my success as an engineer is because i was good at math. >> and we just saw your list, fareed. engineering will. number 7 in terms of degrees. but conversation come back to math, math and science. my question is, are we getting any better in that realm given the state of our schools? can we today produce a bill gates, a steve wozniak, a steve jobs? >> what is worrying is the whole system, the california public school system, for example, is broken. but i have a very hopeful segment on this special. about a guy in california who started a website where he has 3,000 videos, video modules

where he teaches math and science which have been watched 80 million time by students all over the world. gates is a big fan of this program. he's given it a lot of money. and it is a revolutionary way of teaching math and science. much more interactive. . more customized. so there's always innovation going on in america. when you get very down, you look at people like that and you say, maybe we're not going to be able to fix this big education bureaucracy. maybe we'll to have reinvent it or do an end run around it. this guy is one example of this. a lot of education reform that's bottom up. not top down. >> speaking of hope, i guess. let's talk about debt. while i have you. i want to ask but the turmoil in europe. we know the president is there. gp 20. today big concern as you know is greece. my simple question is this. are the term of the greek bailout, are they too severe? would americans, for instance, would we accept the hardships the greeks would have to

shoulder? >> no. the terms of the greek bailout are extremely harsh. but here's the problem. greece doesn't really produce very much as an economy. people keep saying america is like greece. we're in the same trouble. it's nonsense. the united states is a very strong dynamic economy that has got some issues relating to debt and deficits. as long as we can grow, for example, we'll be able to solve many of these problems. we do have to deal with entitlements in health care. in the greece case, it couldn't be more difficult. they don't grow. or produce much that the rest of the world wants them don't have a large enough internal economy. i don't really know what to do about greece. the rest of europe, frankly, is. more manageable and defendable. greece, at the end of the program, even if greece succeeds at everything that's being asked of it, greece will have a debt to gdp ratio of 120%. which is one of the highest in the world. it's the point at which argentina had to default six

years ago. that is success for them. so greece will have to default or restructure. greece, what europe has to hope is that they can somehow ring fence the rest of europe and let greece somehow manage a special restructuring of some kind for itself. if you pin your hopes on greece getting back into shape, and all of europe is pinning its hopes on that, it will be very tough. >> i guess after that emergency meetin meeting, he was seeing a different light with merkel and sarkozy. we of love having you on. we have a tv date once again tomorrow so i will look forward to that. in the meantime, don't forget to watch sunday night, 8:00 eastern. they're calling it restoring the american dream. fixing education. do not miss this. still ahead here, a judge taken off the bench after videos

surface show him beating his daughter. she's the one who released this video. plus this. >> you go out and blab it to other people. that's just unethical and that's not the way i live my life. >> a rick perry adviser defending himself against accusations that he leaked the story of alleged sam involving herman cain. the scandal quickly becoming a war of words between presidential candidates and campaigns. who does it help? let's ask candy crowley. is this a chevy volt? [ stu ] yeah. it's electric. i don't think so. it's got a gas tank right here. electric tank, right over here. an electric tank? really, stu? is that what you pour the electricity in? it's actually both, guys. i can plug in and go 35 miles gas free, or i can fill up and go a whole lot farther. is that my burger? oh. i just got bun. i didn't even bite any burger.

what are these guys doing? [ horn honks ] could you please not honk while this guy's telling me about his chevy volt? is that that new... is that the electric car? yeah. but it takes gas too. ask him how much he spends on gas. how much does he spend on gas? how much do you spend on gas? how much do i spend on gas? if i charge regularly, i fill up like once a month. he only has to fill up about once a month. [ woman ] wow. that's amazing. quite a treat. we get to talk to candy crowley. we have to talk about this story with regard to herman cain. these allegations, right? you chuckle. the allegations of sexual harassment, very much testing

cain. but big picture, how if at all is this affecting his campaign? his numbers? >> we'll see, won't we? there's one school of thought. first we don't know what's there. like what is this about? because we are lacking, you know, a face put to the complaints against him. we're not even sure we can get it because of privacy and confidentiality agreements that were signed. every day, it seems we hear about a third and a fourth woman here. so there's a lot of smoke here. so what it's done is not just consume -- right now, here's the harm to the cain campaign. when was the last time we heard him talk about 9-9-9? it's getting more and more difficult for him to go back to the issues that brought him to the top of the polls. number two, he has mishandled this so badly in terms of who he's blamed, how he handled the first day when the story kept

changing. and it sort of adds to that. is this campaign ready for prime time question that has been out there about herman cain? but it is beginning to sort of suck in some of the other campaigns. rick perry's because cain himself has that, look, the person who leaked thought is a former aide of mine during the senate campaign. he totally deny it and said i didn't even know about it and i certainly would not have leaked it. so it is kind of brought in a the real bitterness there is. at this point from, on the conservative wing of the party which is vying to be the nonromney. between perry and cain. so it's beginning to bring, if you want to look for a winner at this point, i would say probably mitt romney. he's only been a little bit tinged because he's been asked about it. but right now it looks like perry and cain are the two. cain taking the biggest hit. >> you mentioned we haven't heard herman cain mention much about 9-9-9. he tweeted in the last hour,

trying to talk about, he was tweeting about iran. so perhaps that's his way. here you go. tweeting about iran. my message to iran. if you mess with israel, you are messing with the u.s. trying to bring it back to foreign policy. something more sub tanstantive. my kids would say, better luck. in the end there has to be a period on this. some way for him to stop talking about it. and i think that's going to require this candidate to say, listen. here's what i know. here's what happened that i can tell you without violating any confidentiality. and now i'm not going to talk about it anymore. before you can say i won't talk about it anymore, you have to give some sort of explanation. now i think there's a possibility here that the people who really like herman cain and the people who are keeping him at the top of some of these polls are going to look at all this as a group out to get him. and it might not affect his poll

numbers. but i don't think, it can't help but hurt him a little bit. we'll see how much as this story, the story is still evolving. it is really hard to look and say here's the damage done. we don't really know yet what the story is. >> as you said, it's just smoke for now. just smoke. candy crowley, thank you as always. >> thanks. a graphic video surfaces showing a dad beating his daughter. the father is a judge. but the daughter is the one who posted this video on to youtube. the father says not as bad as it looks. coming up next know you'll hear from the daughter, the father, and whether he can be charged with an actual crime. sunny hostin is fired up on this. these dogs wake up too early!

you know what else is early? medicare open enrollment. now through december 7th. can i stick with my old medicare plan? sure! or find a new plan with better coverage, less cost, or both. medicare plans give you free cancer screenings and wellness visits and 50% off on brand-name prescriptions when you're in the doughnut hole.

there's a video online right now showing a father beating his teenage daughter with a belt over and over again. people who have watched this are

burning up the internet expressing their anger oirt. come pounding the outrage is the father father's identity. he is a judge in texas. he makes decisions about other families and their lives and now he is being investigated. we're about to show you a small portion of what is really a seven-minute video. i want to warn you, it is tough to watch. >> bend over that bed. >> the video is difficult to watch. it shows a texas father punishing his 16-year-old daughter for using the computer to download video games. but that father, william adams, is a texas judge who handles among other things, family and giuliani cases. this happened seven years ago in 2004. and the now 23-year-old daughter, hillary adams, posted it online. it has been viewed more than a

million time. the outrage is causing judge adams to leave his post temporarily. a visiting judge will take over his caseload. judge adams could face criminal charges. police are investigating. >> we need to see the original of the video. we're always concerned with seeing an original when possible. >> phones at the aransas county courthouse have been ringing off the hook. a fellow judge says the video is disturbing and surprising. >> observing him in court, you would never think that he had any kind of temper. >> judge adams admits, it's him in the video. >> in my mind, i haven't done anything wrong other than discipline my child after she was caught stealing and did i lose my temper. i've since apologized. it looks worse than it is. there is a story. it will come out in due time. >> in a twitter post, his daughter says i'm feeling some regret for publishing the video.

to ruin my own father is heavy indeed. she tells corpus christi tv station -- >> these hinges brought to life. not because i want to see my father burn or anything like that. that's a hideous way of thinking and i don't want to inflict that on him. i cannot stress enough. i can't repeat myself enough that he just needs help. >> cnn, atlanta. >> i want to talk now about the potential fallout from this video. sunny hostin is in new york. it's tough to look at. i imagine that's your same reaction. >> yeah. no question about it. we showed a snippet of it. it is seven minutes long. it is very clear this is child abuse. we have to make clear that you can discipline your child in texas. spanking is okay. but it crosses the line here. he's using a belt. he is doing it in anger and there is no doubt in my mind

that this is child abuse. both physical and emotional. he is also cursing at the child and successes she is 16 years old when it happens. allow, i believe that it is unlikely that criminal charges will be brought because there is a statute of limitations. sbts five years. remember, this happened in 2004 when she was 16. it's now 2011. and she is an adult who has moved out of the home. but make no mistake about it. this is criminal child abuse. >> so let me ask you. can this judge really continue to sit in his present job as this county court law judge now that this has gone viral? >> i don't think so. that is because judges are held to a very high standard, as they should be. attorneys are health at a very high standard, as we should be because we are enforcers of the law. right? so there is no question that i think public confidence in him has been decimated.

he certainly can't sit in judgment as to what is in the best interests of a child, as to whether or not families should be kept together. so there is a judicial commission in texas as there are these commissions all over the country overseeing judicial officers and i think it's time for the texas commission to take action and remove him from the bench. >> the daughter in this video, the young woman who posted this video. her name is hillary adams. she was on the "today" show this morning. let's watch a piece of it and then we'll talk on the other side. >> i waited seven years. back then i was still a minor and living under his roof refl lesion it then, i don't know what would have happened to me or my mother or my little sister. so waiting until today, seven years later, it has enabled me to pull away and distance myself from the consequences. i think he has been punished enough just by seeing this go public like this. and i think he just really needs help and rehabilitation. >> help and rehabilitation. counseling. is that the best course of

action here? >> well, the best course of action in my view would be to have him serve some prison time and perhaps do some community service with children and abuse victims. but i think certainly he needs counseling, right? that's clearly appropriate here. and remember, there's another sibling at issue. an 11-year-old. i would say he does not have unsupervised visitation with that child. the child does not live with him. the child lives with the mother. i will say this. i saw that "today" show interview and i'm appalled at the mother's role in this. she was there. she was there. >> very close, apparently. >> so i don't know that either of them should have custody of the 11-year-old. >> you're a tough cookie. >> that's right. >> thank you very much. by the way, we should point out. you can hear much more from hillary adams herself. she will talk to anderson cooper at 8:00 eastern for that interview. still ahead, rick perry

responding to those suggestions by some that he was drunk during a speech. and his answer to critics. specifically jon stewart involve wine. also, the bible. president obama and a white house admission. plus this. >> you made a huge mistake by taking one of us. release him and if anything happens to him, you will always remember this upcoming november 5th. >> hackers calling out a mexican drug cartel is threatening them publicly. this is a of move so dangerous, the hackers are warning their own to protect themselves. things about to escalate. look, every day we're using more and more energy.

the world needs more energy. where's it going to come from? ♪ that's why right here, in australia, chevron is building one of the biggest natural gas projects in the world. enough power for a city the size of singapore for 50 years. what's it going to do to the planet? natural gas is the cleanest conventional fuel there is. we've got to be smart about this. it's a smart way to go. ♪

the hacker group anonymous is targeting the cartel. they stay zetas kidnapped one of their own volunteers so right now anonymous is demanding his release by saturday or else they'll launch what they call operation cartel. the name and addresses of people linked to this cartel. this is a very dangerous game. the cartel zetas has hackers all of its own. if anonymous hacker get caught here, instead of being arrested, they could be killed. last hour i spoke to a terrorism intelligence expert about what's happening. >> due to just the level of violence inside mexico, the outcome would probably not be good for any names that are published or outed inside of

mexico. alleged and formers. having said that though, the interesting part is this may actually cause the average person in mexico to bring forth information of cartel-related activity. >> i was reading about cyber vigilanteism. tell me more about this group anonymous. you call them ghosts. why? >> they are a group that has no formal structure. this is a group that's very, very fractured and there at time is not a consensus which is one of the reasons why we've seen the threats to release information on the 5th of november which i think is highly probable that we'll see some names released. the scary part as you look at this is whether or not the names are connected in any way to the cartels.

they're still going to be out there. >> knowing the potential for deadly retaliation, a spokesman for the hacker group says anyone who is afraid of los zetas should not participate in this mission. now this. he lost his freedom for a while and he snapped. >> chilling new reaction about the man who terrorized a town after unlocking the cages of dozen of dangerous animal. find out what the autopsy found on his body. besides a gunshot wound. also, as the markets react to the crises in europe, here at home a starting new statistic about debt and the toll on our families and our kids.

that's an interesting question. what can they do? >> probably i would leave the money in their retirement plan alone if possible. one other option may be to get a home equity loan or line to pay off those credit cards. rates are at historic lows. that may be a better option. if they are insistent on taking the money out of their retirement plan, another option may be to take it out as a loan. that way it wouldn't count as income because they're borrowing it from the plan. you need to be careful about that. if they leave the job, the money

would be due immediately. >> a very good point. your question come from jason in colorado. he is 38 years old and single. he contributes about 14% of his $60,000 a year salary toward his retirement plan. he's thinking about moving that into to have ruth ira and that his employer doesn't offer a match. how should he split his contributions? >> he might want to rethink that by maxing out. he's contributing about $8400 to his 457 plan. he's lowering his taxable income for the here and now so he's reducing the. a taxes he has to painful obviously, the roth has the own benefits. he is going to be able to take out those moneys tax-free on the back end. if he wants to do a split, he might think about a 60/40 split keeping about 60% in his employee sponsored retirement plan and then using the other 40 to fun the roth ira. >> if you have a question, send

us a question. this is $100,000. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ? if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. fortunately... there's senokot-s® tablets. senokot-s®. for occasional constipation associated with certain medications. now you can save big on senokot-s® tablets!
