wired. >> that's okay because there's lots of news this morning. >> up first this morning, heads about to roll. at jp morgan chase. according to bloomberg, the firm's entire london staff could be dismissed. the banking giant also expected to accept the resignation of this woman, ina drew. pulling down a salary of over $15 million a year. drew and two other company executives being held accountable for a stunning $2 billion loss. ceo jamie dimon doing damage control on sunday talk shows is. >> it was a stupid thing that, you know, we should never have done but we're still going to earn a lot of money this quarter. it isn't like this company is jeopardized. we hurt ourselves and credibility, yes, that we have to fully expect and pay the price for that. >> christine romans is here with us this morning. how much worse is this going to get? i know we were hearing about

billion dollar loss, they're going to weather it. the big question is why should we care. >> the real damage here is for jp morgue's cj pjp morgan's ceo's reputation. jamie dimon has been front and center. he has been the industry's, i guess, poster child for making sure that they don't have new regulations. so for all the millions of dollars that the banks spent, including jp morgan to lobby against just this sort of kind of behavior running wild on wall street he has a lot of egg on his face, quite frankly. the company is a huge company. $2 billion trading loss is extraordinarily stupid and embarrassing. >> right. >> really embarrassing. i think you could see more heads roll, actually at jp morgan chase. >> this company came through the financial crisis very well. jamie dimon was thought to be a

real leader. some even talked about him even becoming treasury secretary. >> i can remember a few years ago people were saying it's too bad for the financial crisis. jamie dimon, the only other thing that would have capped his stellar run in banking was treasury secretary. he is someone who was trusted to talk to the president and other people about this. jamie dimon is someone who, people who work for him, he's a real task master, believes in profits and results and so you can imagine that he's furious that this has happeneds there. especially since it makes him look like, as the guy who has been saying, you know -- >> don't overregulate me and has be been very vocal for the volcker rule. >> what happens to him. >> probably not much but there are executives leaving. >> people have been asking me, why do i care that they lost 3

billion? my issue -- or 2.3 billion. this happened in 2008 with aig and it nearly took down the global financial system. i want to know this is going on. i want to know it's not going on. >> we're talking about indexes on credit default swap. it's insurance on insurance. that the company -- was it a hedge or was it a raw bet that went wrong? >> right. >> when you talk to people in the hedge fund world they're all kind of like giggling a little bit to themselves. they know jamie dimon and that position are probably getting hammered right now. there are people trying to make money off of jamie dimon's unfortunate position and bad bet in the markets. dow futures are down 100 points right now, folks. it's not because of the banks but greece. some developments in greece. we can talk about that later. these stocks got hammered last week. we'll be closely watching this. if you're a share holder in jp

"the wall street journal" is reporting that before resigning this weekend, ceo scott thompson toll the company's board of directors he had thyroid cancer. the report says the cancer diagnosis was in part responsible for thompson's decision to step down only after four months on the job. his his may claimed a computer science degree he claimed he had. ross levinsohn will now become the interim ceo. >> mark zuckerberg turns 28 years old. can you believe that?

be possibly suicidal. police say he left his burbank home on foot and then simply disappeared. and it is believed that he took his handgun with him. >> there is no history of violence associated with special agent ivans or any known threat to the community as the investigation has uncovered no evidence of foul play. special agent ivans is known to have been drought and investigators may believe he may possibly be suicidal. >> dogs had tracked ivans' sent near the mountains east of burbank. since then authorities have widened their search and are looking throughout los angeles county, a big area, as you might imagine. the big question remains, why would this fbi agent seemingly well liked by colleagues, a father and husband simply vanish into thin air? why would he leave, zoraida and

more importantly, where is he now? those are questions he simply can't answer. >> how long has he been an agent. >> with the fbi for about three years, he worked in national security on counterterrorism cases, specifically. he's said to be a valuable member of the team, never had any disciplinary problems and before that, he was an l.a. police officer for eight years. so, again, a long history in law enforcement. and why he disappeared, still a big mystery. >> i can't imagine what his family is going through right now. have we heard from them? >> law enforcement is working very closely with his wife, as i mentioned, husband and father, father of a 1-year-old child, a son. married, in fact it was his wife who reported him missing on friday morning at about 7:30 a.m. she did tell authorities that the last time she saw him is when she turned into bed on thursday night. >> oh, my goodness. >> friday morning he was gone. >> his family also at work, right, worried about him.

it's not clear which witnesses the defense plans to call. mexican officials try to pressure -- reassure the public this morning that civilians are not being targeted. this comes after the gruesome discovery of at least 49 decapitated and dismembered bodies littered along a highway. a message left on a wall nearby indicates it could be the work of the zetas drug cartel. the corpses were found in a town north of the border. he's in atlanta for us. i have to tell you, the details of this are absolutely horrific. >> zoraida, it's just incredible. 49 bodies, all deposited in the same part of -- along the side of the road in northwestern mexico. apparently it was not only about the executions, zoraida, but about a very intentional way of sending a message to a rival drug cartel in mexico.

this happened as you said about 80 miles southwest of mccowan, tex tell on the mexican side of the border. this could be a result of the turf war being fought between two very powerful mexican drug cartels, los zetas and another cartel. these victims may have been -- >> that area, are the people in that area worried that perhaps some of the folks that live there will be targeted or have they been? do we know anything about that? >> so far, zoraida, there's no indication that civilians have been targeted. officials saying this is specifically a fight between these two very powerful criminal

groups. either that or migrants from central america that have to go through that area. this is a lucrative transit point for drugs not only from mexico but south america and that's the reason why you see that kind of violent fight between these criminal organizations. >> and i'm curious as to how this is affecting tourism, right? there are a lot of emwho travel to mexico that are very concerned about some of the violence that happens. you hear about the bodies that are hanging from the via ducts. is there any plan from the government there as it affects tourism? >> look, people who would normally cross border in the southwestern united states and that southeast part of texas are definitely afraid and aavoiding crossing into mexico. however, i was taking a look at some numbers from the tourism office in mexico and also up here in the united states. the number of tourists into mexico from not only the united

states and canada but also from europe increased last year because places like cancun, are still for the most part very safe. it appears that tourists and foreign visitors are making a difference into that very violent part of northern mexico. the border states. and the typical tourist areas that i mentioned before, zoraida. >> this isn't the first time they found these mass graves, is it? >> no, no. last week on wednesday there were an additional 18 bodies in god guadalajara. five months before that, an additional 26 bodies, the year before, another 35 bodies in vera cruz. you're seeing massive massacres in mexico. again, the main point here, what the cartels are trying to dow is se -- to do is send messages to

particular cartels, they will face consequences if they dare to enter that. >> how were these bodies found? >> in this particular case, all of the bodies, according to prosecutors, were dismembered, decapitated, their limbs were missing and it appears, zoraida, what they were trying to do is make it very difficult for police, for authorities, to identify the bodies. messages were found right next to the bodies and one of the messages claimed that it was los zetas organization that was responsible for this. >> thank you very much for that. >> thank you. >> i wish i could give you more uplifting but a georgia woman is in danger of losing her fingers to flesh-eating bacteria. 24-year-old aimee copeland became infected earlier this month. she was zip lining over the tallapoosa river near atlanta when the line snapped and she suffered a gash. that cut came in contact with a

"early start," i'm zoraida sambolin. >> i'm ali velshi in for ashleigh banfield. it's 6:00 a.m. in the east. let's get started. >> up first this morning, pain at jp morgan chase. according to bloomberg, the banking giant will accept the resignation of ina drew as early as today. she's one of the highest ranking women on wall street. pulling down a salary of over $15 million a year. the entire staff of the company's london chief investment office could also be dismissed. more fallout from the investment firm's staggering $2 billion loss stemming from the risky trades. the so-called proprietary trades are what took down aig during the financial crisis. jamie dimon doing damage control on sunday's talk shows. >> this is a stupid thing we should never have done but we're still going to earn a lot of money this quarter. it isn't like the company is jeopardized. we hurt ourselves and credibility, yes, that we have to fully expect and pay the price for that. >> and christine romans is with us this morning.

and burning question at least for me is why should i care? >> you should care because, look, three years after the financial crisis the very kinds of things, credit default swaps and risky hedge -- is it hedge, insurance or is it a raw bet? all of a sudden, $2 billion in losses, this is what brought aig down. this is a much smaller scale, a subject but shows you things haven't changed and the rules and regulations to try to rein this stuff in are not in place. goldman sachs and morgan chase are trading for the benefit of their firms. bank it takes your money, takes your deposits or a bank has been investment bank and they help companies go public or help companies buy other companies. morgan is trading its own money to make money for itself, something in the wake of the financial crisis many people wanted reined in. >> who is this woman who has resigned, aina drew, by all accounts many don't know who she

is and never heard her name and got to be one of the most high-ranking women on wall street. >> $15 million, there aren't that many women who get all the way to the top. jamie dimon believes in results so this is clearly a woman until now has gotten results. would you agree? >> sure. >> you don't see women get this high. banking is banking. it's a dog eat dog profit-driven business. >> a bit of a guy world. >> in "the daily news" they call her the fall gal. >> if she ran this office and division it was her job to make sure this didn't happen. jamie dimon said there could be another $1 billion maybe and in the hedge fund world people are salivating how they can squeeze dimon for some more profit on their end. there's a lot going on in the trading world that's fascinating. elizabeth warren, somebody who had the president's ear about banking reforms and reforms of

just these kind of practices, she's someone who has said jamie dimon should not be on the board of the new york fed, a regulatory body. >> on top of the company who did this sits on a body that regulates banks. you can get why people who don't follow the story as closely are saying i don't understand a piece of this, i don't understand proprietary trading, credit default swaps. >> when we were chatting this morning you mentioned gambling analogy and it hit home. >> these banks have said let us do these things, this proprietary trading because we're hedging, providing an insurance for ourselves for tough times. neither morgan chase which basically sold that so-called insurance nor the people trading against morgan chase who were buying the so-called insurance had anything to do with the underlying assets so if you owe me money and i take out an insurance policy because i think you may not pay me that's one

thing. if you owe christine money and i take insurance out on that, that's a bet. >> he's taking out insurance you're going to pay me but nothing happens to him if you don't pay me. >> that's where it becomes a bet. >> that's a ding, ding, ding, moment, okay, i get it. >> people tweeting, who cares? let them fall. a, they won't fall but b it's in your 401(k). if it gets as serious as aig, aig crippled the entire world. >> when people say i don't care about the banks, break them up or make them smaller. banking has become complicated but we don't weigh want to root for bankers to fail because that's the oxygen of the american economy. we'll have elizabeth warren in the 8:00 hour and she's the one who made the controversial call to have him step off the fed board.

agents and dozens more law enforcement officers are on the hunt not for a fugitive, for a fellow agent who has been missing since last week. alina cho is here with more on the bizarre story. >> it sparked the largest manhunt in burbank, california, in two decades and spanning a wide area of l.a. county. good morning, everybody, what is so troubling about this story, special agent steven ibens is said to be despondent and possibly suicidal. authorities won't say why that is the case but it is the reason why those searching for him are so concerned. ivan's 35 years old, was last seen thursday night, according to authorities. the very next morning on friday police say he left his burbank home on foot and then simply disappeared and it is believed that he took his handgun with him. >> there is no history of violence associated with special agent ivans or any known threat to the community, as the

investigation has covered no evidence of foul play. special agent ivans is known to have been distraught and investigators believe he may possibly be suicidal. >> he is said to be an avid hiker and runner. fbi officials say dogs have tracked ivans' scent near the verdugo mountains east of burbank and they're looking throughout los angeles county. very big mystery. why would this fbi agent seemingly well liked by colleagues, a father and husband, vanish into thin air, why would he leave, the big question and more importantly especially for his family where is he now? >> what do we know about how long he's been at the fbi and what he's done? >> he's been there three years, focuses on national security, counterterrorism cases. he's said to be a valuable member of the team, never had any disciplinary problems and before that he was an l.a. police officer for eight years

so long history in law enforcement. >> solid career, family you said, he's got family? >> that's right, and this is what makes it all so confusing, seemingly a solid career, a family man, father of a 1-year-old son, married, as i mentioned. it was his wife who reported him missing on friday morning, at about 7:30 in the morning, and she has told authorities that the last time she saw her husband, was when she went to bed thursday night. she woke up the next morning and he was gone. >> what a story, it is very strange and the manhunt continues. thanks. >> it is 12 minutes past the hour. one of the highest ranking women on wall street is expected to step down as early as today at morgan chase. according to several reports she will resign over the firm's staggering $2 billion loss and according to bloomberg the london staff of the company's chief investment office could be dismissed. ceo jamie dimon confirming the banking giant could lose another

science and accounting degree from stonehill college, it's been in company documents at paypal where he was before and now at yahoo!. company documents have to be sworn to be absolutely truthful by the ceo. >> right. >> he only has a degree in accounting, sounds like a small thing but there was an investor in this company who has been trying to wrangle some seats on the board, brought this up. >> because he's generally frustrated about the company. >> let me show you why the investors are generally frustrated. yahoo! stock over the past five years shows you that the stock is down some 44% over the past five years. it's down 11% over the past year. they're saying, come on, we want to have a better say, and they dug up this stuff about his past. now here's where it starts to get unfortunate and pretty interesting as well. "the wall street journal" is reporting he has informed the board, scott thompson informed the yahoo! board he is beginning treatment for thyroid cancer so his credibility and his resume under fire for the past couple of weeks, investors wanted him

out after a tumultuous year at yahoo! in general and now he's got according to "the wall street journal" a medical issue to deal as well. >> it's a head scratcher why he would lie on his resume. originally i thought he didn't have a degree but he does. >> we talked to human resources management type folks. there is he a lot of different surveys on this as well. more people lie about their experience and their degree than you would expect. education is the number one reason why people lie on their resume and the second reason is what kind of experience they have or what their job was at a particular company and one of the reasons why people lie so frequently about what their degree is, is because they're trying to make it match what they're trying to get. i don't know what scott thompson was doing. the company called it an inadvertent biographical error. >> you said something interesting, scott thompson is 54 years old. most people who are internet savvy, you would think the ceo of yahoo! is, would know you can find out the real information on

anybody for no money. >> why would you have to embellish a degree, when steve jobs dropped out. >> accounting degree is not a silly degree. >> he's got a track record and he ran paypal. the take-home advice to me is everyone screen your resume especially if you're trying to get a new job. for $10 on the internet everyone can find out anything about your academic history. >> and when you're young and savvy and got a good product that the degree doesn't necessarily matter as much. >> best of luck to him and his family as he begins treatment for tie 'roid cancer. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. ahead on "early start," "newsweek" magazine creating a stir with this week's cover calling barack obama the first gay president. stay with us. e announcer ] nature valley granola bars, rich dark chocolate, toasted oats.

country, african-american churches, ministers really struggling with the president's decision to come out and publicly endorse same-sex marriage. these ministers, some of them pulling back their support from the president, others saying that while they disagree with mr. obama, they will still support him, so there's still that division there among african-american ministers. expect this conversation to continue. the president heads to new york today, where he'll visit barnard college. he'll be delivering the commencement address there, also receiving that school's highest award, which is the medal of distinction, along with the president, a prominent gay rights advocate will also be receiving that award, and then the president appears on "the view" and will be attending two fund-raisers, one of them will be hosted by ricky martin, of course, who came out openly gay entertainer came out a couple of years ago. >> i figured that ricky martin fund-raiser should be a lot of fun. >> it should be.

i think what you will hear is this conversation continuing from the president. it's in that, you know, environment where these are people who have supported the president now for quite some time. they've been putting a lot of pressure on the president to speak up, and speak out on this issue. he's finally done that so we can expect that conversation to continue, and perhaps the president talking a little bit more about what went into his decision. >> it's interesting also in the "newsweek" article the contributor that you were talking about, andrew sullivan, says that this is not an aberration. it was inevitable, a culmination of three years of work for the. the to come out in support. >> that's right, and he talks about going way back to when the president was first thinking about running at a fund-raiser or a meeting that the president held, that he had a chance to go in and get a chance to really meet the president, and during that meeting, someone asked the president about what he would do for her son, who happens to be gay, and if he wanted to marry someone and at that time the

president was very strong in his conviction that this was something that could probably be taken care of by civil unions, and he did not feel that you needed same-sex marriage to fulfill what he thought was a quality for gay couples but we have seen the president over the last couple of years was going through this evolution finally last week coming out with his decision, and now everyone's talking about it. >> which i think is actually a good thing, all of the dialogue. dan lothian live in washington, d.c., thank you very much. >> okay. the fallout over morgan chase's $2 billion blunder cost the chief investment officer of the company her job. are other big banks making the same risky bets? if they are, that's where it affects you, that's where it could affect the economy. you don't care about morgan chase you should. we'll tale you more about it after the break. the next phase was going to be, you know, because you been, you know, this is what you had been doing. you know, working, working, working, working, working, working.

good morning, new york. if you're not awake, wake up, but if you're not awake, you weren't around to hear me say that anyway so it's a useless thing to say. 66 degrees right now. going to go up to a balmy 69 with some showers. gloomy, overcast day particularly for one person, one of the highest ranking women on wall street is expected to resign from her post at morgan. ina drew is the bank's chief investment officer, she ran the risk management division or oversaw it at least, responsible for the bet that cost the nation's largest bank $2 billion, probably more. her resignation coming days after the bank acknowledged its risky trades that they say were

intended to protect the bank from financial risks, and had turned sour. that has a lot of people asking five years after the financial crisis brought this company and some of the world to its knees, how could morgan get it so wrong? are other banks making the same risky bet and could it crater the economy again in peter ba barresi is former economic director for the u.s. international trade commission and has some strong, strong words about this, peter, in terms that our viewer, still sleepy time for some of them at 6:30 in the morning, can comprehend because we don't deal in credit default swaps and don't deal in some of the complicated things, what is your take on what happened and what should happen to fix it in. >> let's look at what happened. essentially morgan was hedging against risks on the other side of those trades were hedge fund managers gambling. how could ina drew be hedging

and the hedge fund managers gambling at the same time? the answer is they were both because it's not possible for the banks to put in place risk managers that can fully understand the market with it evolving so rapidly to avoid these kinds of calamities from happening. the bottom line is this can't be regulated and the banks that take deposits and make loans with your money need to be separated out from these investment houses that engage in this kind of activity. >> that's the distinction, it is not illegal to simply gamble, not illegal to bet on the direction that something will go in, whether it's an economy or a market or a certain type of loan, but it's dangerous if they take other people's money and it starts to become intermingled, in other words, something probably bad isn't going to happen to morgan chase but it could and that could end up affecting a lot more people. >> worse than that, ina was making $15 million a year and now works in the same place as a banker who makes loans and takes deposits and things like that.

wells fargo, very straight-laced. then they start to feel why aren't i making that kind of money and the bankers lose interest in making loans, and really take our deposits and use them for these kinds of purposes. wells fargo is doing that right now. it takes in a lot of deposits from main street and doesn't know what to do with them so it's basically buying a lot of securities. there's plenty of loans to be made to small and medium sized businesses but the big wall street banks don't have much knowledge of main street business, aren't interested in making those loans and they really shouldn't have those deposits. >> there is a distinction to be made here then that these banks are taking their own what they call their own money, the ceo of morgan chase, jamie dimon said this wasn't customer money, wasn't investor money. is that a fair distinction? >> i don't know that it is. we've seen in the past where traders for example, bearings bank in britain was brought

down, pushed into bankruptcy by a trader who basically bet the house. i don't believe that you can put in place investment officers that can keep that from happening. if you could, then why did ina drew let this happen? i'm not saying she's a bad person or she didn't have good intentions but the fact of the matter is no one has that kind of understanding of a gambling situation or the person on the other side wouldn't be making the bet against you. >> but peter, ina drew is reported to have been the kind of person who instituted these practices to protect themselves, to hedge. christine romans this morning was making a distinction between hedging and betting and the hedging is because you've got some interest in the underlying thing that you're making a trade on, and the betting is that you're just betting on the direction of something you don't have anything to do with. >> when you hedge, you are making a bet. look who was on the other side of the trade, hedge fund managers who essentially do bet. my bottom line is they have dressed this up to look like something that it is not.

jamie dimon is running a casino in this aspect of the bank. that's fine, because actually you can serve some useful purposes in the economy that we can't get into with the time that we have by doing that but those useful purposes should not be served by the people that take your deposits and those deposits are then guaranteed by the fdic, the federal government. when i go to the bank and put my money in, i don't want to see say slot machine in the lobby. >> peter morici, thank you very much, a professor of international business at the university of maryland and a former economic director at the u.s. international trade commission. zoraida? >> thank you very much. 42 minutes past the hour. let's get you up to date. here's christine romans. >> good morning again. i'm going to start to the 2012 fire season in arizona, at least four wildfires burning across the state fueled by high winds and extremely dry conditions. the biggest one has scorched nearly 3,000 acres, despite an air attack and hundreds of firefighters on the ground

backed out. hayden said he was the one who was nervous. >> hey, joe, would you consider going to my senior prom with me because my date backed out and didn't go. this is bigger than i ever imagined. >> i am nervous, taking pictures with me and her family and everything, i feel like we were legit, does this look cool and everything, right? i feel like this is my prom, too. >> hayden says he never attended his own prom because he graduated high school early. today's best advice for you comes from actress and producer virginia madsen, a nice follow-up for you to mother's day. >> best piece of advice? certainly would have to come from my mother, and she told me to always listen to the voice inside, and as i grew up, i found that to be very true, because she said, you always know what's really right and what's really wrong, so listen to yourself and you'll know what

to do. >> i don't know, i love this little segment, giving you a little something to take to work with you, a little advice from someone we talked to. we talk to interesting people here at cnn. >> i love that. this is one of my favorite segments so thank you. we appreciate it. brooke boaldwin is in for soledad o'brien. >> hello, it's not good to be here bright and money. the money is a huge, huge story. good morning to all of you. ahead on "starting point" you've been talking about this $2.3 billion mistake by morgue son this morning we'll talk to elizabeth warren who you know she headed up the t.a.r.p. program, currently running for senate in the state of massachusetts, she's stepping forward and calling on morgan's ceo jamie dimon to resign from his post on the board of the new york federal reserve bank. certainly news-making interview there. awful story, this 24-year-old grad student from georgia fighting off this

flesh-eating bacteria, she's lost her leg at the hip, her family fears this morning she might lose her fingers as well. so we're going to talk to her parents to see there's anything possibly to be learned from this. and i know it's early, but we're talking math, the question we're asking you, are you smarter than an eighth grader? riddle me this. bag of coins containing only pennies, nickels and dimes, zoraida is like why are you asking me at 6:45 in the morning. with at least five of each, how many different combined values if five coins were selected at random? this kid has the answer in zero seconds flat. we'll put him and a certain member of our panel to the test so that should be some good tv. >> oh, no. >> coming up in ten minutes. look forward to it. we make meeting times, lunch times and conference times. but what we'd rather be making are tee times.

tee times are the official start of what we love to do. the time for shots we'd rather forget, and the ones we'll talk about forever. in michigan long days, relaxing weather and more than 800 pristine courses make for the perfect tee time. because being able to play all day is pure michigan. it was in my sister's neighborhood. i told you it was perfect for you guys. literally across the street from her sister.

welcome back. georgia woman is now in danger of losing her fingers to a flesh-eating bacteria. 24-year-old amy copeland became infected earlier this morning after a zip lining accident over the tallapoosa river near atlanta. she suffered a gash that became infected with the bacteria. she's lost a leg and part of her abdomen. her family says they're optimistic awaiting what they call amy day. george howell joins us live from atlanta. when we're listening to all of the details here and hear that the family is optimistic, we can only think that they thought at some point she was going to die. >> well, indeed they had reason to believe that especially after

that surgery, where she went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated but this morning, i spoke with andy copeland, amy's father and he told me this, the family has been able to start reading lips, they've gotten good at this over the last few weeks and they were able to understand two questions, just last night, first, amy was asking about her thesis, she's pursuing a master's degree in psychology, so she was concerned about her course work there, and she also asked about her job, concerned that the time she's lost could count against her. her father says it's an example of her work ethic and obviously reassured that she will be okay. people understand given what she's gone through. zoraida, this happened two weeks ago when she was out with friends on a zipline that snapped and a gash resulted on her left leg, this flesh-eating bacteria got into it, and obviously the wound was closed up, but days later she was back in the hospital, fighting for her life with this disease.

>> okay, george, this is scary because a lot of people zipline and fall and get gashes and what do we know about the flesh eating bacteria. >> where did the bacteria get into her leg? was it in the natural environment? was it somewhere else? that is something doctors will want to look into but right now andy copeland says his focus is specifically on his daughter's health right now. he's not asking those questions. he just wants to make sure that he's there with his daughter, there with her as she progresses and he is optimistic she will progress. >> that's great news. is she breathing on her own yet? are we waiting for that to happen? >> not at this point. we know that she had 100% oxygen put into her lungs after this. she's improed of to 33% now that is just shy, 12% shy of 21% oxygen, which is the oxygen level around us. that will be as you mentioned

earlier, amy day, her father hopes to see the tube come out so she can start talking again and they can hear her voice. >> george howell, thank you so much. we'll celebrate amy day. coming up at 8:00 a.m. on "starting point," amy copeland's parents will be live with more insight into their daughter's case. people have been trying to picture this because it's somebody whose face we know so well, steve jobs. ashton kutcher acting as the apple icon steve jobs in a movie. see what he looks like in costume. you think he looks like steve jobs? not here. we'll show you some pictures afterwards and you might think so. >> if you're leaving the house, take us with us. we'll be on your desktop or mobile phone, go to wacnn.com/t.

i'm going to smack myself. i had one opportunity to see "the avengeravengers" and every else did. "the avengers" continuing to prove their powers at the box office. you got to see these numbers, they are quite remarkable, topping $1 billion on sunday. the superhero blockbuster was number one with moviegoers for the second straight weekend. disney unsurprisingly says there will be a sequel. >> this is a meteoric rise they had. we had other million-dollar movies but they got there really fast. a first look at ashton kutcher as steve jobs. he's playing jobs in an biopic and looks just like him. tmz posted the photos taken on a movie set in los angeles. it is tentatively titled "jobs,

get inspired." >> many people will see that who have bought the book it will be a big movie. on "snl" the burning question about "time" magazine's famous breast feeding cover, take a look. >> really, "time" magazine? this is the image you went with for mother's day? what's with the camouflage pants. you realize there's not enough camouflage in the world to hide from the blowback this kid is going to experience. in time, don't get me wrong, i understand you have to do what it takes to sell magazines but if you wanted a great cover, you would have photo shopped out the chair. i mean really. >> joe, locked inside your room all day, what's wrong? >> what's wrong? are you serious? do you really not get it? >> does this have something to itwith the whole gay marriage

thing? >> doy! it's not fair. i was the first one who said it should be legal and you're the one getting all the credit. >> that's not true. >> oh, yeah? oh, really? then why are you all dressed up? >> i'm going to a gala with lady gaga and elton john. >> oh! >> and that is it for "early start" "the news from a to z." that was convenient. >> yes. "starting point" starts right now. >> it is "a to z with a little b." i'm brooke baldwin in for soledad o'brien who deserves a vacation this week. things are about to get ugly at upmorgan chase after the firm's shocking $2 billion loss, top executives could be stepping down as early as today, and one prominent politician is now publicly calling on the firm's ceo to step down
