makes a politician more, not less presidential. and maybe, just maybe chris christie is getting in shape for a run in 2016. a real run. but it shouldn't be the weight of his body, it should be the weight of his policies. that's all for us tonight. of his body that counts. it should be the way to his policies. that's all for us tonight. from cnn center, this is "cnn sunday morning." it is february 26th. good morning, everyone. i'm debra farrick, and welcome to all the service men and women watching. here's what's happening now. new details about the deadly shooting of two american officers in afghanistan. the gunman who is still on the loose opened fire in a highly secured interior ministry. check out this surveillance video from a commuter bus.

that's the driver restraining a passenger after being stabbed in the face with his own pen, but he is the one in trouble with his company. we're going to tell you why. and two crashes in three days. that is certainly not the way race car driver danica patrick wanted to start the weekend at daytona. she's upbeat about the big race. well, we start with the search for a gunman in afghanistan blamed for killing two ranking u.s. officers inside the heavily fortfied interior ministry, which is in charge of all afghan law enforcement. nato is pulling its military advisors from afghan ministries suggesting that it may have concerns over afghan security

forces. we're going to bring in nick walsh from kabul. nick, the two officers who were found dead, they were in their office. they must -- the gunman must have had some sort of security clearance. what are you learning? >> >> reporter: well, i'm getting some remarkable new details from an afghan counterterrorism official about the identity of this gunman, and he says he is abdul sabul, a junior intelligence officer who worked at the ministry of interior. he appears to have managed to get access to what's called a command and control center inside the interior ministry. very secure pathway of these high ranking americans worked. i understand this man arrived at work, logged in about midday, drove his own car, got his pistol, and then went to this office and then the shooting occurred. remarkably also we understand that, in fact, it's now known he spent two months in a pakistani

madrassa, a religious school. some point prior to him joining the service, big questions being asked now about how a lapse in vetting could have let this man into the ministry. the taliban, of course, have claimed him as one of those. many of their details. one key thing. the taliban said this shooting carried out in revenge for the burning of korans, and that's exactly what the after began intelligence official said to us as well. some cohesion there, but at the same time isaf not drawing any conclusions right now saying their investigation is still ongoing. they're aware of these reports, but they're not going to confirm them. >> were there any sort of closed-sshg yut television cameras inside? do officials know exactly how this played out and how this junior officer made his way to these two americans? >> reporter: that is exactly the heart of the investigation right now, but i think the real question is how did he escape? we can pour over how he got

there. we can pour over perhaps the shooting even taking place if such exists, and i'm sure there will be heavy security in that particular area. the question is how when those shots were heard, if they were heard, how is it that he is able to leave the intrir ministry and now be utilized. i think that's going to be playing much into this issue of trust between american and nato soldiers and the afghans they're training, so key, and many must be able asking themselves across afghanistan how they stand in the wake of the shooting where it should have been one of the -- >> we're going to be checking in with you a little later. big question as to whether this suggests that the taliban may have infiltrated afghan security forces as well. we'll get more details from you on that in the next hour. thanks so much, nick. well, to syria now where today brings a mix of voting and violence. people are voting on a new constitutional referendum that could make some small changes in the way the country is governed. there are already charges that the voting is rigged, but in

homs the shelling continues today. homs is in the epicenter of the uprising. at least 11 people have been killed there today after nearly 50 were killed yesterday. the international community is calling for an end to the violence and an end to the reign of syrian president bashir al assad. let's bring in cnn foreign affairs correspondent alease who is in morocco. you just spoke to secretary of sta state hillary clinton what is she saying right now? >> secretary clinton was attending a friends of syria meeting in tunis. more than 70 countries gathered together to try to get an end to the violence, but more importantly, immediately getting some humanitarian aid, and the conference came with a very detailed plan to get the aid in. unfortunately, the main thing you need right now is the permission of president al

assad. here's what second clinton said they're going to do if he sdwent let the aid in. >> how far are you prepared to get the aid in? the shame tactic. it doesn't seem to be working. today russian state paper is calling you the despicable one. i mean, how are you going to get that aid in if president assad won't do it, and the russians won't pressure him to do it? >> well, i think that speaks for itself. i think the syrian people themselves need to start acting on behalf of their fellow syrians. where are the people inside syria who are going to demand that men, women, and children cannot be assaulted and left to die, given no medical care, no food, no water, and you know, look, i think that russia has a commercial relationship idealogical relationship with syria. it's made its decision to stand. >> there are consequences to the relationship with russia if

they're not willing to at least help use their influence to provide the aid? >> well, i mean, i think we've already seen some very clear disagreements played out in public between us, but at this point we're doing everything we can to marshall public opinion internationally, and work with neighbors in the region to try to get that humanitarian aid in. >> so deb, what she's trying to do is peel that inner layer away from president assad, from the military, from the regime, even from his family, and she says that there's some evidence that his inner circle is starting to think about the day after, but as we've seen so far president assad not balking, and russia not really ready to use their influence on him. >> right. you know, one of the key issues with syria is just a strategic location that fortfied lebanon, turkey, israel. secretary clinton was meeting with a group of very influential people, and she basically said

she thinks president obama will be re-elected. is that to reassert sort of the u.s. position on the world stage? did you ask her that? >> i did. secretaries of state are not supposed to be political, so i -- when we heard that the other day, we were kind of confused, and what she said is she got a little too forward on her skis. her enthusiasm for president obama. she was talking about the context about campaign rhetoric right now. there was some questions from tunisian youth about some statements that the campaign candidates have made, and she said, listen, don't listen to the campaign rhetoric. listen to president obama, and he will be re-elected. i said sounds like a campaign statement. she said it's hard to get politics out of your dna, out of her veins, but she recognized she went a little too far. >> elise lavin for us. thanks so much. appreciate it. well, the compound in pakistan is being knocked down.

pakistani military says they don't want the site to become a shrine for all al qaeda sympathizers. u.s. officials believe pakistan was hiding. nelson mandela could be going home from the hospital perhaps as early as today. a statement from the south african president said mr. mandela is in satisfactory condition after being hernia surgery. mandela is 93 years old. he has had a few health issues recently and has been kept largely out of the public spotlight for the last couple of years. and to politics now. it has been four days since the republican primary. don't worry. we've got two this week. the stakes are high for the candidates in michigan and arizona. cnn political editor stall steinhauser has more. paul. >> reporter: hey, good morning, deb. that's right. just two days after the crucial

primaries in arizona and michigan, and, yeah, a lot at stake, so let's break it down, and let's go alphabetically. arizona first. 29 delegates at stake there, and it's winner take all. you win, you get all 29. you lies by a couple of thousand votes, zip, you don't get a dell got wrash it's a semi-open primary. republicans can vote in the gop primary, and so can independent voters. it's not early voting in arizona. a lot of people have already cast ballots. maybe up to half or more that have already voted before primary day. moving to michigan. 30 delegates at steak, but it's proportional, which means you don't have to win to get delegates. also, it's an open primary. that means republicans, yes, of course, they can vote in the gop primary. so can independents, and so can democrats. that's important. it will be interesting to see how many democrats voted in the presidential primary, and no real early voting in michigan. just absentee ballots. a lot less people casting ballots before primary day. deb.

>> paul, thank you. well, there's also going to be a little campaigning in florida today. it's the great american race, the daytona 500. mitt romney and rick santorum will have a presence there. romney is expected to be there for part of the race. he was there last year as well. the united autoworkers plan to protest his appearance at the race track. zirjts rick santorum is also going to be at the daytona 500, and in name in spirit and his name is sponsoring a car in the race. as you can see, the number 26 ford will have santorum 2012 on the hood. it can cost between $2 million to $20 million for that kind of exposure. and danica patrick will be one of the most watched drivers in today's rashgs but she didn't finish so well yesterday. a wreck early in the nationwide race at daytona pretty much ended her day, but she still seemed pretty upbeat. >> more than anything i'm just frustrated because the go daddy car was so fast. it was so fast.

i could keep up to tandem cars in front of me all by myself. it's frustrating when you have one of those kinds of cars, and it's gone. because there are other days where you don't have that kind of a car, and nobody seems to manage to find your bumper ever. >> well, patrick starts 29th in today's race. she's just the third woman to ever run in the daytona 500 and the first since john robinson did it exactly 20 years ago. here's a rundown of some of the stories that we're working on. a close call on a florida interstate for one state trooper, and it's all caught on tape. we'll show you what happened. plus, one of robert f. kennedy's sons is facing charges for a hospital confrontation involving his newborn, and spra tuesday right around the corner, we're looking at how social media will impact the race. and finders keepers, not so fast says a u.s. court. a florida salvage company ordered to hand over an estimated half a billion dollars in treasure to another country.

nasty turn. in sworn depositions to police, nurses say they convinced kennedy to leave an elevator, but then he headed to a stairwell. the nurses say that's when things got physical. >> in this particular father ramped her, wristed her arm and twisted it so severely that she had tremendous pain in her arm. she then backed off with the other nurse standing right there. this gentleman then proceeded to kick her and kick her so hard with so much violence that she flew through the air and landed in the middle of the corridor." >> kennedy's lawyer says kennedy was trying to protect baby bo and used a knee, not a foot, to stop the nurses who were grabbing for his baby. >> the only aggressors were the nurses, and, in fact, initially the nurses said that he could go outside, and it only changed when another nurse and then another nurse after that became aggressive and blocked douglas from walking with his baby outside to get fresh air. >> the nurses told police the

baby's head was "shaking violently from side to side." kennedy's lawyer denies it, adding the baby slept through the whole thing. attorneys for both sides agree the baby was not injured. an emergency room doctor who was visiting kennedy and saw what happened defended his boyhood friend in a statement. "i can state unekwifically that the nurses were the only aggressors. to charge mr. kennedy with a crime is simply inxrenszible. seven weeks later the local d.a. charged kennedy with a misdemeanor for child endang endangerment and harassing the nurses. it's not clear whether the nurses will sue kennedy civilly, but last month they sent him a letter suggesting he might want to hire a lawyer. debra. >> susan candiotti, thank you. a bus driver is stabbed on the job with his own pen. police say an unruly passenger is to blame, so why then is that bus driver the one in trouble?

welcome back, everyone. i'm debra feyerick. it is just half past the hour. checking your top stories, a gunman has been identified in the shooting deaths of two u.s.

officers inside the afghanistan interior ministry in kabul. officials say the suspect who remains at large is a junior intelligence official with ties to a religious school in pakistan. authorities believe the shootings are related to outrage over koran burning by nato troops. the top nato commander has ordered all to withdraw from the ministries in kabul and other areas while this is under investigation. polls are open in syria where voting has begun on a constitutional referendum. the bashir al assad regime says the measure if passed will allow a multi-lateral government. the critics are dismissing saying it's superficial. jimmy carter talked about what he thinks is necessary to create true reform. >> well, for a number of months now i have advocated to first the arab league and then to the prime minister of calcutta and then later to secretary of state

hillary clinton and then to the chinese on an approach to syria that i thought would be effective, and that is passing unanimous demand that the 2014 election for president and other offices in syria be moved to 2012 with complete supervision of the united nations muggies and the arab league and with monitors coming in to make sure that the election is free and fair and safe. i would guess that both a revolution and bashir administration feels that if they have an honest vote by the people, they will surely be chosen to continue the leadership of syria. >> well, new details are emerging about a journalist killed in syria. the sunday times reporting that norine was trying to get her shoes in an effort to escape a shelling in homs last week. she removed her shoes upon

arizona republican debate last wednesday. in arizona mitt romney is up by four points ahead of tuesday's primary. this one is inside the margin of error, so basically it's a dead heat. in michigan the numbers are basically flip-flopped. this american research group poll has santorum on top by four. in all 13 states they're holding their contest in the next ten days, and the candidates are reaching out every way they can, including on-line. we have some of the on-line efforts, and, josh, are they paying off? >> they are to some extent, absolutely. it's a critical part of what campaigning is about these days. you can see more and more moving on-line. also, if you just want to know the pulse of a campaign, what the campaign is pushing any given day, good place to look is the main page of their website. this is rick santorum's website. it's always interesting to see what the primary image is that you get when you get to the website. he is in the main section of his website we are pushing fund

raising at the top. mitt romney, here his first main message at the top of his is -- didn't pull ip here. there you go. it's about the michigan bus tour. that's what he is focussing on there before you see the other things. i don't feel, we know michigan is a critical state for him as well. let's go to newt gingrich here. newt gingrich is pushing various ways to get involved in the state. he also talks about some of his most well known supporters. take a look here. you end up seeing one of those and that's chuck norris. let's trook at ron paul here. ron paul is pushing fundraising here as well at the top of his website, looking at specific numbers trying to gather money many advance of super tuesday. i want to you see the twitter numbers about these candidates. by far mute gingrich has the most twitter followers. more than anyone else. he has actually had them for a while, and in some cases these are people who followed a list

years ago of automatic follow lots of suggested twitter followers, so what happens here is that it's not a direct correlation too anything about your supports or your voting on the ground but you can see he has a lot more. i want to show you facebook numbers as well. here it's gircht. when it comes to face bobbing, mitt romney is on top of almost 1.5 million people following him on facebook. no one even comes lone close. if you want to talk about reach on social media in terms of immediate si of the message, take a look at what president obama has. month surprise there. president obama's numbers would be higher. he is the president, after all. about 25 million on facebook. 12.7 million twitter followers. about half as many as he has on facebook. deb, look, they are constantly putting all sorts of messages out there on all these forums, and it is a critical way advancing messages of reaching voters and of reaching fundraising going at all times.

you shouldn't make the mistake that the number of people following on twitter or facebook is a correlation to whether you are going to win or not. >> nor does it suggest what they think about each candidate or what it is they're actually supporting or not supporting or whether they're going to vote or not vote, but, yes, so interesting because we all look at our twitter numbers every now and again to see how they're inching up, but it never is a gauge. >> it's not. >> of how people think you're doing. >> it's about being engaged and about how many people that are following you that are also engaged and even using that social medium to try to get something done. that's why it's so important to use this. also why people should not get caught up in numbers. >> josh, thank you so much. we'll talk to you later on. >> yeah. >> up next, how spoiled milk and moldy bread can actually help keep, listen to this, $600 in your pocket. really. but we couldn't simply repeat history. we had to create it.

well, when you see that moldy bread in your pantry or the sour milk in the frig, the last thing you probably want to do is eat it, let alone save it, but environmental lifestyle expert says doing this can safe you up to $600 a year. not to mention not wasting the food. he calls it the dumpster diet, and he tells me how it works. >> let's say i've got wilty or moldy food in my refrigerator. how do i make that ed inl. i love celery. i have the fantasy that i'll eat celery all the time, and it ends up going to waste in my refrigerator. >> it sort of feels bendy. get a large glass or vase. fill it with cold water. a couple of table spoons of white vinegar, and take the celery and stick it inside. let it soak up the water, and it crisps right back up. you have another three to four days that you can use the celery. >> does it taste like vinegar then. >> little drops. that's the key thing. don't use the whole jar of white

vinegar. >> i would be calling you telling you my celery tastes vinegary. >> another example is a lot of us will take our bananas and put them all together in a bowl. it's actually gas that they're all emitting, and it's causing them to ripen up. i've had this next to the avocado and this neck tar even, these bananas and in two days they ripened. if you keep them separate from each other in separate brown bags, you'll have a longer shelf life. >> would you never think that they actually affect each other. >> mother nature didn't grow them this way, so keep them separate from each other. >> how did you -- for example, like, you have cheese here and also the bread. explain. >> okay. bread. if it tastes like it's gone stale and you want to crisp it up, get a spray bottle with water, pray it with water, put it back in the often to crisp it up. you have a brand new loaf of bread. >> you are extending the life of the food. how do you know that you're not going to get sick, for example. >> it's called intuition. a lot of things -- a lot of cheeses that might have mold, if it's a hard cheese or a salama,

you can cut about an inch away from the mold, and you'll still have perfectly good food. if it's a soft cheese or something that doesn't normally actually have any kind of a mold -- >> like a brie. >> you sometimes see the white fuzz -- >> throw it away. a lot of people think if you freeze things, it's going to kill the bacteria. it actually just preserves it. what you want to do is freeze berries, let's say they're in season and really peak and freeze it, you're good to go. once you thaw them, you can't refreeze it. for the first time it's great then all summer long and fall long for smoothies or for recipes. it's great thing for fresh produce. >> does organic food have a longer shelf life? >> it doesn't. you know, it is healthier for you. if people want to buy organic, look for generic brands, leak store brands, and so anything in cans, it's usda certified organic. it's pesticide free or chemical free. it's cheaper than the national ones. >> i do think we tend to buy thinking we're going to use, and

then when it reaches sort of the end point, we say, oh, i'm just going to throw it away and buy fresh. >> right. you really should actually take note of things that you are throwing away. there's even fraj i'm things or common things we buy all the time like milk and eggs. my big trick is when you go to the store, get the milk in the back of the refrigerator and get the eggs in the bottom of the stack because they've been coldest the longest. you actually get another week's worth of use out of them so you never have to throw it away. >> that's right. many new york where i'm from we often see on the date it says will expire like a week earlier if you get it in new york, which is always interesting to me. where you buy it also? >> also where you store it. if you have the older refrigerators, they have the trays on the inside. when you open the frig all the time, that's the place that gets warmest quickest, so that's the worst place to put eggs and milk. you want to put it in the back of the refrigerator. >> saving food and using them longer, and i think that's great. nobody wants to throw away food. especially i have become my mother. there are people who are

starving, and you have to say these are great tips. >> $600. >> danny, thank you so much. really appreciate it. really useful tips. thank you for coming by. >> well, it is the subject of fairy tales and movies. a deep sea treasure worth half a billion dollars. more in a minute.

for this morning's passport, our own in additiona combed the high seas to dig up news on what many believe is the most valuable sunken treasure in history. half a billion dollars, and the people who found it can't keep it. >> well, not only can't keep it, but yesterday morning half a

billion dollars of gold and silver coins were taken by the spanish government from fort lauderdale back to spain. the treasure was found by a u.s.-based company known as the odyssey marine exploration company. they spent $2.6 million retrieving the treasure with the most unique technology known as a submersible. >> right. >> so they found it in 2007. there's been a wrangling with the spanish government because it was a spanish ship found off the coast of portugal, and apparently it was on his way from peru. now the peruvian government has gotten in the act as well, but the bottom line is right now the treasure is in spain, and the lawyer jim gould has been acting on behalf of the spanish government and said finally, spain has now been victorious at every level of the u.s. courts from tampa to atlanta to washington." >> what's incredible is they wouldn't have been victorious had there been no discovery of

the treasure to begin with. where does the florida company come in? >> not even access. they don't even get their money reimbursed. it's controversial because it's saying is this going to dissuade people from find this kind of treasure, but what he it found is that the actual coins were on a military ship so to speak. had it been a commercial ship, then they might have had access, but once they found that, in fact, it was a spanish military ship, so today spain is half a billion dollars richer, and the spanish government says it is going to be used for artistic exhibition. ? oh, absolutely. i think this company needs to re-evaluate its business plan and actually find it for a percentage, assuming they can't keep it. we'll check in in a bit. appreciate it. >> a marine sent home because of a severe -- documentary shows how his physical pains were matched by the action newsing zits of memorial regular life. >> look at this. there's not a single parking

good morning. welcome back. a special hello to our men and women watching on the american forces network. the decade-long war in afghanistan has claimed the lives of 1,893 u.s. troops. more than 15,000 have been wounded in action. that staggering number represents only physical injuries. not eat moeshl and mental toll wounded warriors face. when they return home from war, their road to recovery can be rock where i. take a look at this clip from the documentary, hell and back again. [ gunshots ] >> let's go, let's go. >> are you all right? >> i'm doing pretty bad, to be honest. >> get that. shoot at the middle of the wall. >> they're shooting from there and directly down the road. >> they need your drop.

>> that's up for best documentary featured at tonight esacademy awards. joining me snou is the man you just saw, sergeant nathan harris and his wife ashley. thanks so much to both of you for being here. sergeant, you were part of an elite counter insurgency unit in afghanistan in 2009. a couple of weeks before you were to go home, you were injured. tell us about that. >> i was initially shot by an enemy machine gun, and the bullet did a significant amount of damage. the exit wound from the round was actually 24 inches, so it was very, very large. it was right where my femur meets my hip. >> it's going to be six months before you really feel like this leg is your leg again. a year before you really, you know, want to get back to killing people. >> you're doing great. feel better? big relief, huh?

>> a year. >> i know. you got to remember that you are blessed that it's a year. you have your leg. >> what's amazing is watching nathan, how difficult it is for a returning service member to come back and adjust, to get back to regular life. >> look at this. there's not a single parking spot in this gigantic parking spot. it's like, my god, i would rather be in afghanistan where it's simple. >> felt that way every time. it's just, you know, whether it's in a wall mart parking lot, whether it's in a parking lot anywhere or just a mundane task, the stresses that go into it and the new type of things you have to think about, the new decisions that you have to make are completely different. you're doing everything as aggressively and quickly as

humanly possible, and now you can't even get into a parking spot and get into wal-mart without it taking too long, and it makes you feel a certain way. >> do you think i'm lying about it when i tell you i'm getting sick? >> no. >> just leave me alone. i'm tired of arguing with you over stupid [ bleep ]. >> i know. you insist. >> you got to leave me alone. >> ashley, i have to ask you because when he came back, he was a different person, and this documentary shows you as a good marine wife. you helped him with his medications. you helped him dress. there were oftentimes that you were the brunt of his frustration and his anger. how did you deal with that nathan who left and then that nathan who came home? >> well, i guess the best way to explain it is i've kind of gotten used to it. this is the third deployment we've had, and each time he came back, he was a little different, and it's almost like learning somebody new again.

i mean, we've -- i've benoit from him just as he was away from me, so he had to learn me again also. you know? and you just have to look at it as you love each other, you made this commitment, and no matter what, you're there, and you're going to stick through no matter what. >> absolutely. well, listen, on a lighter note -- and this is such a powerful documentary. it's up for an academy. are you excited to walk the red carpet tonight, the two of you? >> yes, ma'am. >> oh, yes, ma'am. >> unblooechably excited. >> we can't wait. >> thanks so much, and good luck. be sure to tune in to "showbiz tonight". a.j. hammer hosts our special live coverage of the oscars. the road to gold. that airs sunday, 6:30 p.m. eastern. americans targeted in afghanistan. by people who are supposed to be u.s. allies. ahead, we'll take you live to afghanistan. you gotta taste this soup. ahah, , wewelclcomome e toto h . ifif y youou'r're e lolookokinio geget t totogegethther, yoyou u cacameme t to o ththe.

from cnn center, this is cnn sunday morning. it is sunday, february 26th. good morning, everyone. i'm debra feyerick. new details about the deadly shooting of two american officers in afghanistan. the gunman? still on the loose opened fire in a highly secured interior ministry. an 86-year-old war veteran crawls to safety after being

attacked at a gas station. what's outrageous? no one offered to help him. and it's a big night for billy crystal in hollywood as the oscars get ready to honor the year's best movies and hottest stars. we start with the search for a gunman in afghanistan blamed for killing two ranking u.s. officers inside the heavily fortfied interior ministry in charge of all law enforcement. nato is pulling its military advisors from afghanistan ministries suggesting that it may have concerns over security forces there. let's bring in nick paton walsh from kabul. what do we know about the gunman? >> remarkable details, actually, from an afghan counterterrorism official. this man is called abdul sabul, and was an sxwee of the intelligence department of that interior ministry. now, he appears to have gone to work in his own car as normal. logged in. picked up his pistol and then gone to this highly secure

command and control center in which these two high ranking american officers were sat. he shoots them and then leaves. it is now escaped on the run. the ministry interior said they went to find him. another remarkable detail of this unnamed official is that he apparently spent two months recently in pakistan at a madrassa, a religious school there, which surely had people known about it, could have raised red flags. now, it's not clear at present if he does have an affiliation with the insurgency. what is clear is the source we spoke to believes this was 100% linked to the recent burns of korans and, in fact, this source pretty much tallies with the explanation the taliban gave in an e-mail yesterday. they called the government abdul -- but said he too is acting because of this koran burning, deb. >> is tla suggestion that he could be one of many that infiltrated security forces and thereby, pose a threat to all

u.s. and other nato forces in those ministries that are providing security and helping the afghan government get on its way? >> over the longer term future. the taliban have said they've infiltrated the police and security minimum industries, and there are repeat instances in which men in afghan army uniform opened fire killing isaf personnel. two americans and two incidents with the french that made them reconsider their presence here. that is a long-running concern, and one we regularly see coming to fruition here. much of the time they say, these are soldiers acting on their own. perhaps out of frustration or personal tiffs with the isaf people they work with, but it's vital that there's trust between american isaf and afghan forces. they have to train the afghans to take over security here so nato troops can leave. >> things so unstable there. nick paton walsh, we appreciate it. a key point you mentioned, how did he even enter the ministry.

today a mix of voting and violence in syria. people voting today on a new constitution referendum, but in homs, the shelling continues. activists say at least 11 people have been killed there today after nearly 50 were killed there yesterday. the united states has promised humanitarian aid. a short time ago secretary of state hillary clinton talked about syria and american intervention. >> the syrian people themselves need to start acting on behalf of their fellow syrians. you know, where are the people inside syria who are going to demand that men, women, and children cannot be assaulted and left to die, given no medical care, no food, no water, and, you know, look, i think that, you know, russia has a commercial relationship, idealogical relationship with syria. it's made its decision to stand on their side. >> will there be condefenses to the relationship with russia if

they're not willing to at least help use their influence to provide the aid? >> well, i mean, i think we've already seen some very clear disagreements played out many public between us, but at this point we're doing everything we can to marshall public opinion internationally and work with neighbors in the region to try to get that humanitarian aid in. >> secretary clinton also said it would be difficult to try and arm the opposition because there's no clear path and no clear leadership inside the country to contact. >> the compound in pakistan is being demolished, and if you look close here, you can see the heavy machinery just there on the right knocking it down. the pakistan military says they don't want the site to become a shrine for al qaeda sympathizers. they were killed by a navy seal team last year. u.s. officials believe pakistan knew bin laden was hiding. nelson mandela could be going home from the hospital as

early as today. a statement from the south african president says mr. mandela is in satisfactory condition after having hernia surgery. mandela is 93 years old and he has had a few health issues recently, but he has kept largely out of the public spotlight for the last couple of years. and to politics now. well, we're only two days from the next republican primaries in michigan and arizona, and just a week away from super tuesday. joining me is patricia murphy, founder of citizen jane politics and a contributor for the daily beast. and patricia, you know, mitt rom my has made a few misstatements. >> yeah. >> things he probably wants to take back. there was the $10,000 bet he made with rick perry. $10,000 being kind of a lot of money. >> too rich for some of our blood. >> a little bit. there was also this one. just take a listen. >> i love this country. i actually love this state. it just feels good being back in michigan.

you know, the trees are the right height. [ applause ] >> the streets are just right. i like the fact that most of the cars i see are detroit-made automobiles. i drove a mustang and a chevy pick-up truck. ann drives a couple of cadillacs, actually, and i used to have a dodge truck. i used to have all three covered. >> you know, look at him. it's almost as if -- you know he wants to say something, and you know he wants to come across as sort of an uncomplicated, one of the folks kind of guys, you know -- >> yes. >> at the same time when he talks about a couple of cadillacs, you know, it's like a land mine. >> it just hurts so much, and the problem for mitt romney is that people are saying where is the authenticity? who are you? he has had one after mother after another of these gaffs that tell us is that who you really are? it just feels like there's some sort of facade that he is putting up, and then he will say something and say that's who you really are. oh, you're a regular guy who drives a pick-up and your wife

drives a couple of cadillacs. this falls into a pattern. we see some politicians struggle with this. george h.w. bush had a moment where he was amazed by a grocery scanner. in 1992 he lost that election. john mccain said he can't really remember how many houses he has. he lost that election. you know, especially when people are struggling, it is almost offensive to them when they see somebody trying to lead them who doesn't feel their pain or doesn't at least try to understand what they're going through. this is real for him. >> and he is also trying to make them seem as if they're just one of you. when they're not -- look, mitt romney has awe lot of very strong factors, but by trying to almost simple few them -- i don't want to say dumb them down, but i don't understand why trees in michigan are the right height. i don't even understand what that means. to me if i'm living in michigan, i don't know. maybe -- >> he keeps saying it. >> why do you keep saying the trees are the right height? >> i don't nabbed. >> just tell voters who you are, and voters will embrace that. they just want authenticity. >> they want to respect you.

you don't have to be liked as long as you're respected for who you are and what you bring. rick santorum started the week defending his vote in favor of no child left behind. now it seems like he has a higher problem with higher education, like it's too high. take a listen. >> president obama once said he wants everybody in america to go to college. what a snob. [ applause ] >> okay. just go at it. >> well, this is a strange position for a man who has an mba and a law degree. you know, i'll have several graduate degrees, but no -- i don't even know what he means by that, but he has put this language into his stump speech. it's new. he calls the obama administration a bunch of snobs, and barack obama is a snob. that is an appeal, and you heard the applause there, and people applauded this. it resonates with them. he is appealing to a blue collar white republican electorate that mitt romney is not appealing to, and he is really connecting with them, and he has been a lot more

successful. rick santorum, once he started to go after this blue collar working class vote, and it's worked for him. >> what i kind of find interesting also, and that is that you have to push somebody down in order to build somebody up. you have a college degree? that's great. you don't have a college degree? that's great too. patricia murphy, we'll be checking in with you in a bit. >> thanks. >> thanks so much. there's also going to be a little campaigning in florida today. it's the great american race. the daytona 500. both mitt romney and rick santorum are going to have a presence there. romney is actually expected to be there for at least part of the race. he was there last year as well. the united autoworkers plan to proters his appearance at daytona. rick santorum will be there in spirit, but also in name. he is actually sponsoring a car in the race. as you can see, the number 26 ford, it's going to have santorum 2012 on the hood, and that kind of advertising, it can cost between $2 million to $20 million for that kind of exposure. well, danica patrick will be one

of the most watched drivers in today's race, but she didn't finish so well yesterday. a wreck early in the nationwide race at daytona pretty much ended her day, but she still seemed to try to remain upbeat. >> more than anything i'm just frustrated because the go daddy car was so fast. it was so fast. i could get up to tandem cars in front of me all by myself, and it's so frustrating when you have one of those kinds of cars and it -- it's gone. because there are other days where you don't have that kind of a car, and nobody seems to manage to find your bumper ever. >> well, patrick starts 29th in today's race. she is just the third woman ever to run in the daytona 500, and the first since shawna robinson did it exactly 20 years ago. well, after the break, an 86-year-old world war ii vet attacked, carjacked, and forced to crawl to safety without help. what is going on? what is going on? it happened in broad daylight.

i didn't know how i was going to do it, but i knew i was going to get that opportunity one day. and that's what happened with the university of phoenix. nothing can stop me now. i feel like the sky is the limit with what i can do and what i can accomplish. my name is naphtali bryant and i am a phoenix. sure. what flavor? mm, one of each. lemon burst, hm, cherry orchard, blackberry harvest... my daughter's grabbing some yoplait. pina colada, orange creme. i can't imagine where she is... strawberry cheesecake.

lake winnebago in wisconsin could be called lake ford, buick, or toyota. dozens of cars parked on the frozen lake are now soaking wet or worse after the ice broke under their weight. there were as many as 150 cars parked there for a popular fishing tournament. ouch. well, alexandra steele is in for reynolds wolf for a check of the weekend forecast. first, ice is not my first

choice of a parking space. >> no. you know, and because for the balance of this winter, temperatures have really been quite warm. we have had balances and kind of, like, hits of arctic air, but it's been a diet of warm temperatures. i want to show you the ice thickness and the safety. i just did some research on the hole. people right now saying lake winnebago, about nine inches, and that's where on the whole that's what people are saying the depth is. here's a rundown of how safe it is. this is talking about new clear ice. clear isz, a lot safer than kind of a dirtier ice. two inches or less. you have to stay off. four irchlgz is for ice fishing or anything you are doing on foot. five inches snow mobiles, atvs, safe. eight to 12, a car or small truck. if lake winnebago is at nine inches, not a lot of room for error there, and those are bigger trucks than small trucks, so 12 to 15 inches is the depth of the lake having to be to safely hold a medium sized truck. there's that. temperatures now certainly cool enough to support that ice around. we've got snow coming down as

well. here's a look at the radar picture. right along this i-94 points north. north of bismarck and north of minneapolis. maybe five to eight inches of snow today. that's kind of it in terms of snow. the rain a big factor here in the southeast. kind of an area of low pressure moving off the coast. today the daytona 500, 1:00. want to show you the radar and the movement of it. we're going to see here's daytona. there's the rain. 1:00, 2:00, and, again, more rain coming in. even some light rain kind of could cause some trouble with daytona 500, so keeping an eye on that. does not look good for today. >> alexandra, thank you so much. i can't imagine explaining to somebody, oh, my car got destroyed when i parked on the ice. okay. thank you so much. >> your insurance company. >> that's exactly right. >> taiwan earthquake, that's coming up. we look forward to checking in with you on that in just a little while. detroit police are trying to find the person who carjacked a world war ii vet in broad daylight at a gas station. take a look. 86-year-old aaron brantley was on his way home from church when

someone jumped him from behind, broke his leg, and then drove off in his car. to top things off, no one bothered to help him. as he crawled away. look at this poor man. >> i opened the door and proceeded to get in, and all i knew i was on the ground. >> well, according to affiliate wxyz, the car was found a few hours later. the tires and radio gone. the gentleman's bible was still in the car. no one stopped to help. unbelievable. well, hollywood is getting ready to honor its best, and we have a preview of what to expect from our oscar watcher john murray. that's coming up next. he is dressed for the occasion. these clothes are too big, so i'm donating them. how'd you do it? eating right, whole grain.

well, tonight is the big night in hollywood. what a night is that, you ask. the 84th annual academy awards. hollywood as finest will be hitting the red carpet hoping to bring home that little gold oscar, but it hasn't exactly been a smooth start for this year's show, as you probably remember. brett ratner stepped down as a producer after a controversial comment. then eddie murphy, who was chosen to host, well, he dropped out. let's talk more about the oscars with entertainment journalist john murray, and, john, let me ask you. first of all, are people disappointed that billy crystal is hosting again, or is there some enthusiasm there? >> well i think, deb, people are disappointed that eddie murphy isn't hosting. they were excited about the fresh perspective he was going to bring to the show. billy crystal has done it before. he is going to execute in great form. at the end of the day, it's hollywood's most magical night.

people will be dressed in their sunday's best, or whatever their stylist picks out, and it's about hearing those famous five words "and the oscar goes to." >> what are your predictions for tonight? are we going to see any big upsets in this? >> i don't know about big upsets. i think best picture is definitely going to go to the artist. it has wonderful momentum going into the weekend. people are really excited about this film. i say put your money on "the artist". for best actor, i say jean dujardin, but i think he is also going to win for "the artist." he won the sag award, which is always a great indicator going into the oscar ceremony, and i think the two heart throbs will cancel each other out. brad pitt, george:where i. not going happen. for best actress, i would say go with viola davis. some people say it's a toss-up between meryl streep and viola, but viola also won the sag award, which i said is a great indicator, and marilynn is presenting on the show, which can sometimes mean you're not going to win, and even she said

viola is her favorite actress. let's go with merrill's choice for best actress. >> i was listening to something they said. both meryl streep, glen close have both been nominated. whenever they're nominated together, neither wins. it's very scientific as ho to how some people win lsh let's move and talk about sasha barron cohen. he has made headlines of his own because reports started to circulate that he was going to pull some sort of a stunt on the red carpet. he even posted a video addressing the drama. let's take a look at this first. do we have it? stand by. >> it's okay. >> okay. that was not the clip. that's christopher plumber who is nominated for best supporting actor, but sasha barron cohen --

>> if christopher plumber does win, he will be the oldest actor to ever win in his category. jessica tannedy for "driving misdaisy" was 80 when she won, and he is 82. when he takes on a role, he commits to it, sasha barron cohen. he wanted to show up as the middle eastern general aladin, and they said, no, you can't do it, you can't come. he said it was taking away his freedom of speech, but i hear that they have invited him again, so, you know, that's going to be all the rage on social media. if he shows up in character, it will bring the fun fabbing or to the oscar red carpet. >> it's so fascinating because you think of the oscars wrush want some spontaneity. you want some levity. obviously, he is -- he -- that's his thing. he gets people when they least expect. those hilarious interviews he does with people. well, it will be interesting to see what he does. certainly i think the academy making more of a fuss than need be. brought a lot of eyes to
