hello, everyone. george zimmerman is back in jail. this is him in handcuffs in seminole county, florida. he was free on bond. that freedom was revoked when a judge said zimmerman is not telling the truth about his finances. zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of trayvon mart anyone february. let's go to central florida. our reporter is following this story since the very beginning. so martin, this is about lying and it's about money. really it's about credibility.

tell us why george zimmerman is back behind bars today. >> reporter: yeah. and the one other thing in there, it's about one very angry judge. it happened at 1:45. that is when george zimmerman was booked back into the seminole county jail here. if that is accurate, then he had about 45 minutes left on the ticking clock at 48 hours that the judge kenneth lester when rerevoked the bond on friday. the interesting thing here is there was a great deal of concern about security and so george zimmerman actually turned himself over to authorities 20 minutes earlier at the side of the highway. listen to how the sheriff described how that happened. >> george zimmerman met two members of the sheriff's office in the area of lake mary at i-4. was placed into custody, transported to the correctional facilty. he is being booked and processed. as per judge lester's order,

he'll be held on a no bond status. >> reporter: all right. let me take you back to friday and that very dramatic hearing where the judge revoked the bond. it was then that state revealed that george zimmerman, even though his original bond hearing said dent have a lot of money, turns out did he have a lot of money that was in an internet fund. and he and his wife had spoken about that money and recorded conversations the state had days before he denied having money. and that's what angered the judge. here's the judge talking about that. >> mr. zimmerman can't sit back and using a palm and let his wife testify falsely before the court when he knew well in advance of that hearing the amounts of money in controversy. nor can he allow his attorney to stand up and make misrepresentations not by your fault whatsoever. you were completely candid and honest with the court as you've always been. and he can't sit back and obtain the benefits of a lower bond or

circumstances based upon those material falsehoods. that's what they were. so at this time i revoke the bond. place him on no bond status. >> reporter: that judge was steaming. and that is, of course, what brought us to today and george zimmerman turning himself n i spoke to marco mara, the defense attorney. i asked him what zimmerman's attitude was like going back to jail. >> solemn, obviously. he's worried continually about his safety, coming out of hiding is of concern of his. i think he also realizes that the judge's concerns now that we have all had on the defense team a chance to look at all of the evidence. he understands the court's concerns. he understands the state's concerns. and we're going to address those. and say what i think needs to be said to address them with judge lester. >> reporter: and like before, george zimmerman is isolated and away from the general population in the jail. and we simply wait to see what

happens next. there's been a lot of tursurpri, don. >> how long is he going to have to stay in jail? do we know? >> reporter: no, we don't. we know that mark o' meara plans to file another motion for bond as early as tomorrow. will it be heard this week? we'll have to wait to see what the judge says. >> all right. and you'll be covering it. thank you for that, martin. george zimmerman says he shot 17-year-old trayvon mart continue to death february 26th of this year. martin was walking through zimmerman's gated neighborhood in sanford, florida. zimmerman told police it was self-defense. and early april zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. that means a potential for life in prison. and then a few days later, zimmerman post bail and is free until today when he surrendered to police with 45 minutes left, you heard martin say. that zimmerman's trial is not expected to start until next year. we'll follow for you. overseas now. a massive rescue and recovery operation is under way at the scene of a catastrophic plane

crash. a plane crashed hours ago in a crowded residential neighborhood setting three homes on fire. emergency officials tell us all 153 people onboard were killed. cnn's reporter was near the scene aeearlier and told our sister network what he saw. >> the plane crashed in a heavily populated area where the houses are literally on top of each other. and so what we could see were just flames and pieces of wreckage and pieces of -- or just houses that had been demolished. >> as you can see in that video, police and fire crews are sifting through the smoldering wreckage in search of anyone who was injured or killed on the ground. >> we go to egypt now. anger spilling over for a second day following the verdicts in the jose mu bbarak trial.

streets. this youtube video appears to show protests right after the speech. calling for the syrian president's execution. in new mexico, more than 1200 firefighters are battling the largest fire in that state's history. the blaze in the national forest started from a mother nature double whammy, dry conditions and lightning. it has been burning for nearly a month and is expected to get even bigger. new mexico isn't the only state where wildfires are ranging. huge fires are burning in at least eight other states. in all, more than 300,000 acres are on fire. a governor facing a recall in the middle of his term. that doesn't happen often. it's left a state, even families, divided and unforgettable moment in history. >> president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. >> walter cronkite, american people m people, many people loved him. a life and look at the career of the most trusted man in america.

scott walker's decision to strip public employees of their collective bargaining rights. and more than a year later, his race against milwaukee mayor tom barrett is down to the wire. our political reporter peter hanby joins us from milwaukee. how close is this recall election going to be on tuesday? >> ha hey, don. it is extremely close. the most recent poll from marquette university law school had the race at about a seven-point lead for the republican walker. both campaigns, though, say the race is much tighter than that. outside groups have it at one%, 2% lead for walker. this is an extremely divided electorate. there are only 3% undecided voters herement it comes down to turnout. that is a terrible cliche in politics. but in this race it actually matters. both these candidates are trying to get supporters out to the polls and scott walker knows the

race is close based on the campaign he's running. he's running a very safe race here in his final stages, trying to make no mistakes. and just kind of run out the clock until tuesday. he does have a late advantage. most people here in wisconsin agree, don. >> we were talking about the pictures in the capital and protesters and a lot of viewers remember when walker's opponents mounted this recall effort, a lot of protest there's, look at that. what happened to all that anti-walker momentum? >> right. it's interesting. this is a textbook case and why recall lections are so tough. this is only a third gubernatorial recall in american history. but that was over a year ago. and scott walker's approval rating took a serious hit in a wake of the protests. democrats were fired up. they're still fired up. but there are serious headwinds that they're facing, you know, over a year later. the economy is looking brighter here in wisconsin. the unemployment rate dipped. the governor's prejektiojecting

bum budget pusurplus this year. mayor barrett to say, governor walker, you know, you might have a 51% approval rating according to recent polls but you should still go. even the milwaukee journal sentinel which is no friend of scott walker's said in an editorial that guy deserves a chance to finish out his term. so, you know, after a million signatures and a year, you know, of in fighting, it shows how tough it is to pull a governor out of office, don. >> all right, peter hamby, appreciate it. it's not the best week for president obama. unemployment ticked up and the stock market sank. is his strategy to hit mitt romney? is it really going to work? also we want you to stay connected to cnn even on the go. grab your mobile phone and go to cnn.com and can you also watch cnn and watch it live. hing new.. walmart can now convert your favorite dvds from disc to digital.

ahead with our cnn contributors will cane, elsie granderson. they're back. okay, will, the obama campaign says the mess obama inherited will take time to fix. are the american people going to buy this argument? how many times sbrun asked that question? >> well, you know what? i've been asked it in a little while. i'm happy to come back to it. no, i don't that i line of argument is going to work for the obama administration. i think everyone understands once recession started. but after three years they need to see progress and movement. they will judge president obama on the direction they feel this economy is going. is it getting better? is it getting better fast enough? that is a qualifier as well. right now with the job numbers this past friday, 69,000, what is that? a third of what was expected or wanted. i think the answer is clear.

without ideology, that is bad, bad numbers. >> you know what? whether it is his own creation or not, it's obama's economy now. that's what he's going to have to run on. >> absolutely. he's lost control of the message and lost control of the message fairly early. what david heard and wants to hear from 2007 -- >> what message? what was the message he should have controlled? >> all of the messages. instead of just simply blaming w and his policies and what happened, what he needed to explain to american people is for that the u.s. created 1% increase in terms of private sector jobs. all the jobs created were public sector. who's paying for that? we are. he had explained that and how it's going to take more than just three years to turn around the ten-year trend, i think we'll be much more receptive.

you can't come in 2011 and say it's going to take a long time to turn this around. he should have told us that wn we elected him. now they just want to see a turn around. >> now people, more than anything, you know what? people want a job. it's the economy, stupid. my thing is it's employment, stupid. can you just give me a job? that's what people are saying. and, you know, confidence is down. i say that because consumer confidence as well. it dipped this week. the big trob, the biggest drop in eight months. that reminded me of another democratic president. sometimes he is compared and maybe it's not fair or not. he confronted his own crisis of confidence. he was talking about the energy crisis as well. take a look. >> it is a crisis of confidence. is acrisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will.

you with see this in the meaning of our own lives. and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation. >> he was trying to sell it there. did you see the hand gestures, the emotion? that was a so-called may lay speech. is president obama in danger of becoming jimmy carter, a president who couldn't convince americans he could fix a bad economy, will? >> situationally substantively, there are a lot of parallels here. three years of very, very boring malaise to a week growth over three years and trying to convince us that we're headed in the right direction, you know, situationally it does look very, very similar. i said to you a moment ago, you can't understate how bad that speech was by jimmy carter. and president obama doesn't put out bad speeches like. that he won't go on national tv and underperform. >> i had never seen him that animated. but also when you look at it in history, it looks forced, doesn't it? >> oh, absolutely. >> so is that a fair comparison?

>> yes and no. it's fair in terms of the situation. you think about the other things that happened besides the economy. that would be, of course, the hostage situation. i don't think anyone views president obama as performing politics the way jimmy carter did. then you have to look at who's he's running against. jimmy carter was running against an actor, basically, a salesman who is very, very good at getting his message across very forcefully. >> they're all actors. >> yeah, but ronny is a different beast. he is a very good actor in terms of getting in touch with every day people. reagan was. >> i want to move on and go through this one quickly. we want to talk about the recall election in wisconsin. national implications if, whether or not scott walker wins or loses. there is national implications.

we'll see it in november, right? depending on what happens? >> it's probably the death throws of the unions. that's the national implication. the unions put all they had into this fight. it's not going well for them. the democrats at the national stage knew this wasn't going to go well. they didn't get it into. president obama hasn't been there and i don't think he's going to go. >> i thought it was amazing. w back at the white house this week for his official portrait hanging. take a listen. >> you will now be able to gays at th -- gaze at this portrait and say what would george do? >> you know, it was -- you know, love him or hate him, whatever, he was funny and just interesting to see him in that setting. yes? >> yes, absolutely. he has the luxury to make fun of himself. i that i is nice to see in retrospe retrospect. >> very funny. a lot one liners. then we went back on the internet and looked at all those, the right hand doesn't

what officials call a rebalancing with the area in the face of a rising china. panetta traveled to asia to explain the new u.s. strategy first announced this past winter. >> we're going to revoke us on the pacific because this is an area where we confront many challenges. >> reporter: among the major issues, disputes between china and other nation officials maritime rights in the south china sea, a vital shipping route. a crisis in the area could hurt the u.s. economy. the new strategy will mean a shift in how america deploys its military resources. more troops have begun rotating through the region and by 2020, 06% of the warships will be in the pacific, compared to 50% today. >> the ships so far is not great in terms of really changes in fundamental deployments but symbolically, it's really important that u.s. is pulling closer to australia and the philippines and having joint maneuvers with these countries. >> reporter: the u.s. and china are engaged in a delegate dance in the region, a fact that

panetta seemed to acknowledge. >> we in the united states are clear eyed about the challenges. make no mistake about that. but we also seek to grasp the opportunities that can come from closer cooperation and closer relationship. >> reporter: the u.s. hopes to enhance military to military cooperation with china. a country where defense spending is surging. >> china still far below the united states in terms of military capability. but the trend line is clearly closing that gap. >> athena jones live in d.c. this shift to the asia pacific region is under way in australia. >> that's right, don. an attachment marines arrived in april to conduct training and exercises. they'll also be able to deploy around the region to help out with natural disasters or security at sea. over the next several years, the u.s. is planning to increase the size of military exercises, the number of them. and also the number of visits to

headlines. that is a lot of trash. >> when you think about brazil, don, you think about the grand carnivals and the beautiful rain forest. but this is a not flattering side of the country that not a lot of people know about. it is also the home to one of the largest open air landfills in south america. and it's actually, if you look at a grand scale, on a global scale, it holds the largest volume of trash that's brought into there. if you were to take this area as we can see here in the pictures, if you put 243 football fields and filled those football fields each with trash, that's how much trash this landfill can hold. on a daily basis, that is 8,000 tons. that is no joke. and that is 70% of rio's trash comes into this thing since the '70s. >> goodness. >> it closed literally a few hours ago. >> then why this landfill? why is it closing? where is this garbage going to

go? >> this is something in the works for a few years. you have the u.n. rio plus 20 summit coming in on environmental sustainability and then also not to mention the 2014 world cup and then the 2016 olympic games. but the government is saying there's alternative ways to handling this trash and what we want to do is find more sustainable ways that are not as harmful to the environment. as you can see, it does lead into the bay there and there is a lot of pollution that can have ramifications for -- on a grand scale. >> i'm amazed at how big those buzzards are. they're as big as those people there. unbelievable. is that first -- look. that is not the first time this received international attention. >> it's not. there is a film in 2010 that was oscar nominated film called "wasteland" that got a lot of attention on this area because of the workers that work there. and they look for recyclable items. it is a whole economy built around this landfill. so the question is, okay, so the

government wants to reallocate the trash elsewhere. they're going to lose jobs. the other question is you can't change a generation -- like decades of behavior overnight. so what happens? we'll have to see. >> fascinating stories. thank you. >> yush welcoou're welcome. >> walter cronkite, one of the best known news men in history. did you no that he president kennedy got testy with him over an interview? that and more fascinating details about the legend airy newsman straight ahead. i took the dare... will you?

millions of americans welcomed him into their living rooms each night to hear his news and tag line, that's the way it s walter cronkite defined what a journalist was through his 19-year heyday at cbs news. he reported on the most profound moments in the 60s, 7 o's and 80s. a new book by douglas brinkley details what made walter cronkite tick. i asked douglas brinkly why write this book about cronkite now? >> i grew up watching walter cronkite like so many millions of americans. he is an icon. and a few years back "the new york times" reporter mentioned to me before he passed that cronkite was the most important journalist to the second half of the 20th century. kind of took me back a little bit. i always thought of print reporters being the most significant. but when you really look at what cronkite did, taking us through the mccarthy era and space with

john glenn and to the moon with neil armstrong and nixon during watergate and famously the vietnam war, we lived in walter cronkite's cold war era and his papers opened up at the university of texas. i had a trove of material, cooperation of walter cronkite's family and friends. so i took on the book. >> the book is not all glowing about walter cronkite. he was human just like the rest of us even though, you know, we make him out to be an anchorman super hero. >> it's hard to live up to being most trusted man in america. that was what he was dubbed by 1972 from a quail poll and the cbs publicist ran with it. walter cronkite was trusted. integrity factor was extremely high. but i write in the book about some moments really was kind of the old boy ace cl's club. they interacted different than they do now. by the time cronkite became

hankerman in 1962, people were getting their news from the evening news of walter cronkite. and almost became a ritual. you got home from work, 9:00 to 5:00. you relax a little and then you watch cronkite and then have dinner. and so his impact is immense. things like civil rights, gay rights, women's movement, environment and the '60s and '70s, cronkite insisted all the stories be covered in a real time and important way. you can't think about something of the birth of earth day or, you know, why the images of bull connor in the south and the horrors of jim crow were brought into everybody's living rooms. cronkite is managing editor of cbs and insisted on it. >> i want to get to riz relelhi relationship with edward r. morrow. he thought news should be more thought out. and then when the conventions came around, walter sort of relished in it. i wonder if that was the advent

of 204 hour news? >> i think that's spot on. in 1952, walter cronkite covered the democratic and republican conventions. morrow didn't want to do it. he thought there were going to be too many commercials and beneath the dignity of a serious journalist. but once the cameras came in and captured stephenson for the democrats and eisenhower in '52, everything changed. the cameras did conventions into infomercials and they did lead to kind of a birth of 24-hours news broadcasting. and cronkite in '52 taught a seminar on how to talk to television to politicians and thou apply makeup properly and two of his students were sam rayburn and john f. kennedy. you see television news and special events reporting which cronkite was the master of. like walking us through the kennedy assassination or taking us through, you know, the apollo

11 mission. he would go marathon for days. he was known as the iron pants became his nickname within cbs culture. >> president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. 2:00 eastern standard time. >> i remember getting these glasses, right? i never thought about it. i just liked the glasses. and my colleague sort of called them my cronkites. picked up that name. but it's interesting when you see him with those glasses just talking about the death of john f. kennedy, taking them on, looking at the clock, that was his moment. and that is probably the iconic moment in journalism and the next i think will be 9/11. >> everybody knows that clip. i'll tell you, he came in that day, was a normal friday. a lot of people had cut out for the weekend. others were having long lunches in new york. he brought cottage cheese and pineapp pineapple. he was an old united press.
