♪ hello, everyone. i'm kyra phillips. 11:00 on the east coast, 8:00 on the west. a whirlwind week of celebrations has winded down in england. the diamond jubilee has been marked with all kinds of pomp and circumstance and pageantry. the brits are famous for that. richard quest had a front-row seat for the entire weekend of celebrations.

how are you feeling besides wiped out there, richard? >> reporter: i think the next thing i'll be having is a prescription for some form of antibiotics. no, it's been amazing. look, the rain is still pouring, my suit is drenched. but we have seen over four days a carefully choreographed, constructed routine from the spectacle of the river to the ceremony of today, right through the way to the balcony at the end and the fly-past by the world war ii planes. if that isn't really showing with 1.5 million people standing outside your front doorstep, if that isn't showing an element of appreciation, i don't know what is, kyra. >> i'm just curious, can you mix antibiotics with pims? >> reporter: the pims are over

there. and i assure you there's plenty of them. i think what we have -- there were an enormous numbers of levels you could have taken over the last few days. at its most basic, a tourist attraction for people to come to london ahead of the olympics. go up a notch and you can take it as being gratitude for 60 years of service by one woman. and go up to the top notch and you really come to something that's very british. the monarchy, which is in the very backbone of this country, an appreciation of the stability and the way in which it interacts with the people of this country. and i'm aware i'm talking to you in a republic and a monarchy is not for everybody. but the uk has had a monarchy for 1,000 years. and the queen is that unbroken lineage from then to now. >> and it was quite a moment -- quite an amazing moment in history indeed. i know it was special for you.

richard quest, thank you so much. here's an angle to the jubilee that you may not have heard about. taking an official part in all this pageantry is a man from harlem. lance corporal denton jong went across the pond as a member of the cavalry which escorted the royal family on today's carriage procession through london. what's the catch? he's a dual citizen. so he's able to serve in the british army. >> what they always think about is it's an operational unit foremost. we are soldiers first. so ceremonial is the second. >> this isn't the first time at an event like this for corporal john. he also took part in last year's royal wedding. noticeably absent, the queen's mate, prince philip, who's spending his first full day hospitalized with a bladder

infection. it was a pretty cold and wet weekend. and doctors say that definitely played a part. he's also turning 91 this weekend. so at the royal concert, prince charles gave a shoutout to his dad. >> dearly sadly about this evening is that my father couldn't be here with us because unfortunately he has taken unwell. but if we shout loud enough, he might just hear us in hospital. >> wow. cnn's dan rivers joining us from outside that hospital, edward vii hospital with the latest. if you didn't hear it, he definitely felt the good energy being sent his way, dan. >> reporter: we couldn't hear the cheering. we could definitely hear the fireworks and see the glow of them here last night. and i'm sure prince philip, the duke of edinburgh, would have

been watching some of the coverage on television from his hospital bed behind me. he's just turned in some visitors in the last hour or so, prince edward, the earl of wessex, his wife and daughter went in for half an hour and they came out and prince edward said, he's getting better, he just needs more rest. he's in good spirits, on good form. they looked very relaxed and reassured by all accounts. so i don't think that would give the impression that there's much to worry about here. really just letting, i would guess, the antibiotics that he's probably being given take their course. i'm sure he'll be discharged within the next few days. >> we'll check in with you and follow the progress. dan, thanks so much. you may not know that the duke was pretty good at playing polo all the way to the age of 50. he also gave up smoking before he married the queen back in 1947. as we mentioned, prince philip turns 91 on sunday. here in the u.s., a bitter and bruising election, an angry

electorate, historic amounts of money. you don't even have to wait for the big showdown in november because it's happening today as we speak in wisconsin. democrats succeeded in forcing a recall election for republican governor scott walker. but voting him out is another story. no less than bill clinton has come to campaign for walker's opponent who happens to be the same guy walker defeated in 2010. tom barrett is the mayor of milwaukee and apparently still the underdog. a late poll from marquette university shows him seven points behind the incumbent. tennessee's ted rowlands watching the voting from madison. remind us how this unscheduled election in a small state because such a national bellwether? >> reporter: well, because of the implications nationally and basically just follow the money, $60 million poured into this state, the bulk of that coming from out of state. it's either coming from folks trying to destabilize unions or folks that are trying to be pro-unions.

and that's basically the crux of this. walker came in, it was a year ago february, with this budget reform bill that slashed union rights for public employee unions and this is the end result. you mentioned the poll numbers. walker up by 7% in a fairly recent poll. it has gone down a little bit in terms of the latest polling. but he does have a lead coming into today. tom barrett, milwaukee mayor s going up against him. talked about how he thinks he might be able to overcome that differential today at the voting booth. >> we have just seen over the past week, it's the largest ground game we've ever seen in the state of wisconsin. literally hundreds of thousands of volunteers were out on the doors. i think what we're going to see is a huge voter turnout here in wisconsin today. so a lot of the projections are based on 2010 elections where there was a very low voter turnout. but we are very, very confident today that there are going to be hundreds of thousands of

additional voters and that's what buoys our confidence so much. >> reporter: and it's an absolutely gorgeous day weatherwise here in wisconsin. so we are expecting very high voter turnout today on both sides. both candidates are out trying to push the vote today. >> you heard barrett there, how much the dems want it to be just like it was when we saw that support for president obama in 2008. republicans say also a victory for them would give them the big play come november. >> reporter: yeah. and give a big play in terms of replicating what's happened in wisconsin in other states down the line. they look at this as a template. if they can destabilize unions, they believe that it saves money. it also politically is huge for them because, of course, unions funnel money into typically democratic candidates. it's a twofold win for republican ifs they can do what they're doing in wisconsin in other states, that's the goal.

people aren't putting money into wisconsin because they want to improve the lives of wisconsinites. it's all based on that union yes or no question. that's why it's so dicive in this stachlt people are either for walker or against. >> ted, thanks so much. dana bash has been following the dollars in this election. she'll be up live from milwaukee at half past the hour. persona non-grata in syria. in some cases, the enjoys were long gone but it's a further show of syrian isolation as government militias wage war on their own people. survivors in the town where more than 100 civilians were massacred last week say the government is cutting off supplies of food, electricity and medicine. >> of all the times i've been live in iraq, what went through your mind? >> this is the geographic south pole.

just a quick note for those of you heading out the door, continue watching cnn from your mobile phone or if you're heading to work, watch cnn live from your desktop. a big political upset could be shaping up in fullerton, california, right now. several of its city leaders face a recall by voters for what some say was a failure to leave. the quaint unassuming town now on the map and in the national conscien conscience. the beating death of kelly thomas, who was homeless and schizophrenic. recordings are being revealed,

like this one -- >> i'm sorry, dude! i'm sorry! please! please! >> kelly died from his injuries five days later. the city's response that followed kelly's death have raised many questions over accountability and fullerton's leadership. now that may come to a head today. casey wian is standing by in l.a. casey, the issue of kelly thomas is key to today's recall elections. we're talking about three key city council members facing a recall. let's go ahead and gi some perspective on this and why these members specifically. >> reporter: well, kyra, i'm standing on the spot where exactly 11 months ago kelly thomas received that fatal beating. and you can still see behind me there are memorials to kelly thomas and it sort of speaks to how angry some members of this community remain about that beating. these three city council members

who are up for recall, including the former police chief, are looked at as sort of the old guard, the old leadership of this city. many younger, newer residents have come into this city over the last couple of decades. they say it's time for a change. the spark was the kelly thomas beating. there are now 13 different candidates who are running to try to replace these three longtime city council members and city leaders. kyra? >> we actually spoke with one of the city council members who is being recalled, pat mckinley. and he used to be the police chief. and he actually owned up to the fact in an interview with randi kaye that he had hired these cops when he was active in the force before coming councilman and before becoming involved in this controversial death. let's listen to part of that interview. >> do you know any of the officers involved? >> oh, i'm certain i do. i probably hired them all.

>> you hired them all, you think? >> probably. i had 16 years -- >> the officers you hired might have been involved in this, appear to have been involved in this? >> well, i'm going to guess now. i'm going to guess there may be two there are deeply involved. >> casey, i understand you actually talked with mckinley recently. how's he responding to all this? >> reporter: that's right. i just spoke with him at length yesterday. he talked about hiring one of those officers in particular, who is being charged right now with manslaughter in the death of kelly thomas. he said that that officer went through a very detailed vetting process, including interviews with two different psychiatrists because he had suffered an on-duty injury as a member of the lapd several years earlier. he lost the sight in one of his

eyes. he went through a battery of psychiatric tests, went through a two-year probationary period. said there were no red flag that is came up in the hiring of that particular officer or any of the other officers involved in this beating. but mckinley does say that he would do one thing different -- >> if we would have let our feelings be known that we were appalled by all this, just like anyone else, we're very appalled by it, perhaps it would have at least quelled it a bit. but i think it would have went forward anyway. there's so much money behind it, so incredible much money. >> reporter: now, mckinley says one of the reasons or the main reason that he and other members of the city council were silent in the days after the kelly thomas beating is because they had legal advice not to say anything, not to prejudice the investigation or the trial

that's ongoing. kyra? >> so what are the implications here, casey? >> reporter: depends on who you talk to. one of the leaders or the leader of the recall, we spoke with him yesterday. he's a local businessman. he has given $200,000 of his own money to finance this recall effort. here's why he says it's important to do that. >> somebody has to do this. somebody needs to step up to the plate and when there's something that happens in the community that's wrong, if you have the money and if you have the time, you need to stop what you're doing and focus on getting your community back on track. >> reporter: now, mckinley and the other city council members who are up for recall, they say they expect that perhaps this recall will be successful. they say what this is really about is a power grab by tony bushala, a local businessman, a local developer who wants his own slate of candidates on the

city council to further his business interests. he saez that's absolutely not the case, this is all about changing the old guard in the city of fullerton. we're just going to have to wait and see how this election turns out. definitely going to be a big change if this recall is successful. kyra? >> sure is. we'll stay on the story. casey, thank you so much. we'll bring you the results of the recall elections as soon as they come in. last month, a judge ordered these two fullerton cops, officer manuel ramos and corporal jay cicinelli to stand trial. d you a room. at hotels.com, you'll always find the perfect hotel. because we only do hotels. wow. i like that. nice! no. laugh...awe hmm nice huh ooh, yeah book it! oh boy call me... this summer, we're finding you the perfect place - plus giving you up to $100 at hotels.com

imagine finding 12 people in central pennsylvania who don't have strong opinions on jerry sandusky. that's the former penn state assistant football coach who's charged with 52 counts of child sex abuse. seating an impartial jury is the challenge under way for prosecutors and sandusky's lawyers. cnn contributor sarah ganham on the story and she's been ever since she broke it for the "harrisburg patriot news." we've just learned something that a lot of people here find pretty surprising. can you hear me okay, sara? did we connect with you? >> reporter: yes. >> you can hear me okay? >> reporter: yes, sorry. >> that's okay. we are live and we are connected.

>> reporter: what we're learning inside is about 30 of the last 40 people that were interviewed as a group are now individually talking to the judge and to jerry sandusky's attorneys and prosecutors moving forward with this jury selection. what we know so far is that about 14 of them have ties to penn state, have either worked there or retired from there. four knew jerry sandusky, two knew his wife, two worked for the second mile. and what they're doing basically from this pool that started about 220 people is whittling it down, trying to get 12 jurors from this county, which is very -- a lot of ties to penn state, a lot of ties to the penn state football program, the charity that jerry sandusky started. and they're working to try to get 12 people -- the judge said to them this morning, i know this isn't going to be easy, i'm not naive, i know you've heard about this case. what i'm asking you to do is put all that aside and do your civic

duty and hear this case without bias and make a decision after hearing the facts. >> which leads to the question of why hasn't the trial been moved? if you could answer that in just a second. but let's get to the news of the moment. the judge has anous nounsed the jury will not be sequestered. >> reporter: right. that's what the judge decided. it was after he gave this speech where he kind of -- he took off his robe, he stepped off the bench and he said to them, you know, i'm going to -- i want to have a conversation with you. i trust you. i'm not going to sequester you. you're going to get to go home every night. but the challenge is that you don't listen to media reports, you don't read newspapers. you set aside all of your thoughts that you might have had leading up to this point and in exchange for that trust, he's going to allow them to go home at night. >> which leads me to the point that you just made. one in three people in the county there attends, graduated or works for penn state university.

so why hasn't the trial been moved? >> well, prosecutors -- no one necessarily wanted it to be moved from this courthouse behind me. what prosecutors wanted was to bus in jurors from somewhere else in pennsylvania. but jerry sandusky said he didn't want that, he wanted a jury from center county where he lives wrshgs lives, where he worked. and the judge gave him that with the caveat that they would try. 4e said basically, we will try to pick a jury from this county. the judge said he expects it to take about a week. whether or not they will get to the point where they have 12 jurors and four alternates remains to be seen. >> sara, thanks so much. two other people face charges in the sandusky scandal. penn state's athletic director and a former senior vice president are charged with perjury and failing to report sandusky's alleged crimes.

so i'm pretty sure you've

probably seen a number of these things. they're called high-powered magnetic toys and sold as sculpture balls, puzzles and even jewelry like this. you can pull the magnets apart and you can make these bracelets, necklaces, you can find them online in stores like brookstone, urban outfitters. but you have to be really careful if you have kids. because apparently if you swallow these tiny pellets, they can attach inside your intestines and cause major problems, including death. elizabeth cohen joins me to talk about these magnets. what makes them so dangerous? >> do not wear that home. you have two small children and they're exactly at the age where they put everything in their mouth. >> they dochlt it. it's probably the last thing i'd want to put in front of them. >> you just made that little bracelet.

there is a 13-month-old in new york who has mother made a little bracelet out of these and the child ate them. and that's what you have. you can see it right there. do you see that circle inside that child? that child ingested those and they had to be taken out. so what happens is if you just were going to swallow a bunch of little balls, it's not that big of a deal. but when they're magnets, they clump together. if it gets into the intestines, it can be deadly. so you've got these little things you're playing around with them as a parent. a couple of them roll away. your kid sees them -- you're in trouble. >> i thought a magnet sa magnis magnet is a magnet. but these are high-powered magnets. they don't just come apart and go all over the floor. they stay together really well. what kind of -- let's talk about the death in a minute. let's start first with the permanent damage this can cause by doing this -- like for example what we saw in this

picture. >> i'm going to show you an animation from the consumer products safety commission. what it shows is that if more than one of these magnets gets into the intestines, it will pinch off -- you've got these two -- it will pinch together and it will perforate the intestines. and that is a huge medical energy because then all sorts of things can happen including what's inside the intestines can leak out and cause septicemia. these kids are incredibly sick. i was talking to a child's mom. that child needs an intestinal transplant. this child can't eat or drink anything except water and they're now waiting for some intestines so -- from a cadaver so that he can get an intestinal transplant. this child is in the hospital for two months. >> one reported death so far?

>> one reported death so far. there was a survey of 33 pediatricians. the 33 doctors had seen 80-something cases. i talked to a doctor who had three magnet injections per month. these are bucky balls, the most well-known version of this. there's a warning here. there's a warning here. they say these should be out of reach of children. but the doctors meehl meeting with the cftc say, keep these away from kids. >> elizabeth, thanks a lot. >> thanks. >> for more on the dangers of these magnets, check out cnn.com/health. four shampoos that give men game-winning scalp protection, great looking hair... and confidence [ crowd cheering ] [ male announcer ] head & shoulders for men.

diana magnay has been covering the story for us. diana, magnotta went before a judge today, right? what can you tell us about the hearing? >> reporter: right, this was really explained to him, the extradition process and to give him the chance to say whether he would fight it or not. he said that apparently he won't, which means that the whole thing will go fairly quickly. germany and canada have an extradition treaty together. there's no death penalty in canada which might have had a reason why germany wouldn't extradite someone like magnotta. but it means this whole process could go as quickly as a week for him to face justice back home on those charges, first-degree murder, indecent assault of the body and then mailing those body parts to politicians in canada, kyra? >> just to put this in perspective, this was an international manhunt. apparently officers in 190 countries? >> reporter: huge, huge

operation. interpol issued an alert, a red alert, which is its highest warning, really, to try and find this man last week. and that goes out to 190 countries. now, the canadian authorities thought that he'd gone to paris and apparently he left paris for berlin on a bus on friday. but i spoke to the berlin police and they said that they'd had no sightings, no tip-off until shortly before his arrest, that magnotta had actually been here for the past four days. so it really was luck that that man in the internet cafe who had been reading the papers, who noticed his picture recognized him apparently as soon as he walked in and thought, this is the man that interpol are looking for. an amazing stroke of luck there which eventually led to his arrest, kyra. >> diana magnay, thanks so much. after four days and tens of thousands of loyal supporters and royal watchers, the celebration marking 60 years on the throne for britain's queen

elizabeth ii just end this had hour. the diamond jubilee ended with a gun salute and a jet flyover at buckingham palace. massive crowds of well-wishers gathered outside to take it all in. despite the cold and rain, it was a picture-perfect ending to the celebration. with one exception, prince philip being hospitalized. let's get the latest from simon perry in the london bureau. actually, no, he is there at trafalgar square. simon, good to see you. first of all -- >> reporter: thankfully under cover in this lovely wet weather. >> yes, you are. this is typical, rain in london at this time of year makes perfect sense. do we know how the prince is doing, first of all? >> reporter: well, we haven't been given an update since almost this time yesterday. but we just understand that he's resting in the hospital not too far from here, in fact. hopefully we would have heard some of the joy and the celebrations and the cheers for his wife, the queen, w.

there were about a million people in the streets around here. >> you are there in the london bureau, you're the bureau chief for "people" magazine, so you are covering the royals on quite a regular basis. and a lot of people here in the states were saying, how is it that the queen stays so healthy, that she has the energy that she has? what's it like to live like a royal? and is there somebody specifically tied to her dealing with health and diet and relaxation and trying not to stress? >> reporter: well, i don't know if there's anyone who gives her diet advice. we know she doesn't eat particularly large quantities of food or anything like that. she eats well and she measures the amounts and she leads a healthy life. she's rarely ill. has these wonderful hearty holidays up in scotland where the weather isn't much better

than this. maybe it creates a strong constitution. maybe that's why she was able to stand so long on that boat the other day on sunday, four hours standing in the cold on the thames. >> well, it's pretty remarkable what she was able to do throughout the weekend, considering the weather and all the excitement and all the various celebrations. final question, simon. the fact that her husband could not be by her side. we're used to always seeing them together. i know that interviews are not possible and it's not -- "people" magazine can't sit down and have a one-on-one with her. but from what you know, the years that you have covered her and her husband, their relationship, what do you think that was like for her with such a huge celebration and not having her other half by her side?

>> reporter: sure. i'm sure she missed him. today, she almottended the serv at st. paul alone. there she was in one of its grand cathedrals without her husband by her side. there was a sense that she was a bit alone today. but by the time she got on the balcony, she had a son, prince charles, with her in the carriage, camilla, as well. she was all smiles, which was great. i understand that she's been incredibly touched by the warmth of the cheers and the adulation from the people here today. >> simon perry -- >> reporter: it certainly helped her loneliness. >> indeed. simon perry, thank you so much. thanks so much for joining us. ♪ how are things on the west coast? ♪

when republican governor scott walker was first elected. >> this is way out of proportion to a state this size. >> reporter: tom barrett pulled in $4 million, walker, $30.5 million. a quirk in wisconsin law let walker raise unlimited funds since he's targeted with a recall and a lot of republicans seeing this as a prove of the presidential race wrote walker huge checks, some names will probably sound familiar -- texan bob perry gave $500,000. he bankrolled the infamous 2004 swiftboat attacks against john kerry. sheldon adelson and dick duvas each gave $250,000. several of walker's donations came from outside wisconsin. phil raised money for wisconsin republicans for 25 years.

had you suggested that somebody donate here, they probably would have laughed at you in the past? >> they did laugh at me. >> reporter: outside groups supporting both candidates flooded wisconsin with $25 million, a who's who of washington interest groups from big lab tore planned parenthood to the n.r.a. the republican governors association got $1 million from david koch. >> this is a battle we need to win. >> reporter: blankets airwaves to the tune of $8.5 million. >> our elections are being poisoned here. but the people of wisconsin can't know who's paying for most of the poison. >> dana joins me live now. will all that money make a difference, dana? >> reporter: that is what is really even more stunning. it's unclear. tens of millions of dollars and according to almost all polls, the number of undecideds, is very, very small. so they're targeting very few people here in wisconsin.

what people on both sides of this do tell me is they are using that exorbitant amount of money for get out the vote operations. on the democratic side, unions have really gathered. they've spent about $8 million in total. a lot of that is to get out the vote. they are making, according to them, hundreds of thousands of calls. same on the republican side. so they always say getting out the vote is important. in this particular case because there is so much money, they can actually spend it in order to really, really try to make the difference in the end. >> dana bash there in wisconsin, thanks so much. if you want to know what life is really like on the campaign trail, coming up at noon eastern, join the cnn election roundtable with wolf blitzer and cnn's political team. logon to cnn.com/roundtable. hey, the new guy is loaded with protein!

implay indications for the presidential election. some see it as a referendum on the role of the size of government. stakes are high for democrats and republicans. the race seen as a test of the tea party versus union support. could give either president obama or mitt romney an edge in wisconsin as well. we have a look at this race. ted, first of all, a lot of people watching this because you have got national figures who have weighed in on this, you've got union power, you have the issue of bargaining rights, you've got the tea party. do we have any idea which way this is going to go? >> reporter: well, right now the poll shows that governor walker does have a lead, but the lead is very small and within the margin of error, at least the latest polling indicates that. that's internal polling. the last major poll gave him a 7-point lead. it really is going to come down to getting people out to vote. the democrats need to push a lot of people out there. both candidates are out there

today and they have armies on both sides making calls, it's going to come down to that getting out the vote. as it always does. but walker going in does have a slight lead. >> ted, i understand that really, the folks who are on the fence, the undecideds, they are not weighing in. it's all about those on both sides as you mentioned. what is the turnout look like so far and how much more time do they have to go to the polls? >> reporter: well, the polls are open until 8:00 tonight. they opened 7:00 a.m. central standard time so there is plenty of time. long lines, though, have been reported, not only during today's polling but during the early voting periods, a lot of people came out, all across the state to vote early so they could avoid the long lines. they are expecting record breaking numbers in terms of the turnout. so, and it's a glorious day here, no reason if you want to go out to vote that you can't. the weather is absolutely fantastic. >> ted, i understand that they are breaking all records, the

governor breaking all records when it comes to people who have raised money for him to win this race, and also a lot of support coming from people who are out of state. why is that so important? >> reporter: well, think about it. why would people pour money into a state's gubernatorial race, a recall race, if you know, a millionaire in another state doesn't really care about the daily lives ever wisconsinites. that's not why they are pouring the money in. this is classic battle between the parties, in the id mel is the unions. walker depleted the union power through his budget repair bill which is now law here. and republicans and conservatives, tea party types want to replicate what is going on. they claim it helps communities be more nimble and fiscally responsible because they don't have to take in the health care from whatever the union gives them. but the other thing is political. let's face it, most unions fund democratic campaigns and

candidates, and they get out the vote so it's two prong from the outside, then of course the unions are fighting back, pouring in money as well. >> all right. ted, a lot of people looking at that race saying this is a referendum on what we're going to see in november and who becomes the next. . thank you. appreciate it. >> jury selection started in jerry sandusky's child sex abuse trial. sandusky the man as you may recall spent three decades as football coach at penn state a founder of a charity that helped troubled kids. now he is facing 52 counts of child sex abuse. he is so well known in pennsylvania biggest challenge for the prosecutors and the defense right now, simply finding 12 jurors and alternates who don't have a strong opinion about the case. susan is watching the trial from pennsylvania and susan, that is if main point here. you've got jury selection, you've got to pick these folks. but you've got a limited jury pool and a ton of publicity

around this case. how is the judge going to do this? >> reporter: it's going to be tough, don't you think. i think everyone thinks that's what's going to happen here. so far we know that they are working from a jury pool of 220 people. and at this hour they continue to question 40 of those first 220. getting into some of the very questions that you raised. for example, we've learned so far that of the 40 people questioned, 14 of them have worked or are retired from penn state university. no surprise, it's a big employer here. four of the people know jer require sandusky personally. two of them know his wife personally. and two of them volunteer at the second mile, that's the charity from which jerry sandusky allegedly found some of his alleged victims, suzanne. >> that does seem difficult when they actually know who this guy is, they know his wife. have we seen sandusky at all today or his wife at the courthouse? >> reporter: jerry sandusky

arrived smiling, he has been listening to the questioning. his wife is not here this day. he's described as looking a bit worn out, certainly this is a -- could abmatter of whether he will spend the rest of his life in jail if found guilty. he has pleaded not guilty. one of the other things we learned is that the judge said he will not sequester this jury. that's what he told the pool. he said i'm going to trust you not to watch the news, not to read the news, stay away from social media and in return i'll let you sleep at home at night. we'll see. >> that is putting a lot of faith in the jurors there. i understand that there is something else that is unique about this. this is the judge has ruled that the alleged victims, they are not allowed to testify anonymously or even under some sort of pseudonym or fake name. cnn decided as our policy you protect the alleged victims, to prevent them from not coming forward. but how is the judge going to handle that? it would seem to me as if that

might sway some people not to go forward with this. >> reporter: well, certainly attorneys, civil attorneys who represent alleged victims in this case wanted these witnesses to remain anonymous, known as john doe number 1, john doe number 2. otherwise they said this would take an emotional toll on their clients. and certainly they are now projecting this could have a chilling effect on other potential victims in this case or in other cases down the road. but the judge has said no, these people are going to identify themselves in court, and of course it will be up to news organizations as you said, cnn would not be reporting the names regardless of potential sexual abuse, but there is a lot of fallout from this. nevertheless, suzanne, the attorneys representing these victims say that so far no one is dropping out, that they want to move forward with this case and in the words of one, he

wants to see justice done in regard to jerry sandusky. >> thank you, susan. we learned from susan that the jury in the sandusky trial will not be sequestered. later in this hour we'll talk to one of our legal guys to find out why this is becoming actually a trend even in these high profile cases. here's what we're working on for this hour. >> the revolution may be over but justice is about to be served for gadhafi's hench men in libya. then forget sex, race or money. right now politics is dividing our country more than anything else. and trumpets, canons, horses, and massive crowds. the highlights of london's celebration of queen elizabeth.

attacks against civilians in last year's uprising that toppled gadhafi. nic robertson is joining us by phone. tell us the role that he played here, how important a figure was he? >> reporter: he's a figure who was the spy chief for the last two years of gadhafi's world, a former libyan representative to the u.n., he's not seen as somebody who's got a lot of blood on his hands himself but by association with gadhafi. but today he was charged with crimes that could carry the death penalty. he was charged with trying to insight civil war and also for killing protesters. very serious charges. >> what do they hope to learn from him? is he one of those figures, i understand he is an intelligence figure, is he somebody they can get to pin some of the crimes on some of the others?

>> reporter: the government here believes that two things, i mean one, they believe they have to get the trials going ahead. they have to show the people of libya they are making progress and there are courts of law to try people. there are 7,000 people being held awaiting trial. so that part is important for the government. but what they do hope is that you know, he will give them information on others who are detained. he is, in terms of being the most recent spy chief, somebody who will have a lot of information. but it's not clear that the government's getting that from him. today he said in court that he had not heard the charges before and even the government couldn't tell us until today what those charges were going to be. so the level about this disorganization as well. >> tell us about the libyan people. do they believe in this process of justice here? you've got a lot of these former gadhafi officials, essentially, both in and -- in the country, some in the government, some

outside. do they think that this is going to be a fair trial? do they think this guy is going to be held accountable? >> reporter: i think most people here already think that he's guilty. guilty by association with gadhafi because he was so loyal to him. the first indications are from the human rights lawyer that we talked to, other people, the trial's getting proper start, a fair start. the buildings have been completely refurbished, the government clearly making a lot of effort in allowing live television of the trial to sort of let people see, you know, blow by blow if you will what's happening inside there. that is creating the impression that everything is going well but there are concerns about all the other people detained. those 7,000, more than half by militias t justice ministry doesn't control the country, doesn't control those people. there are reports continuing of torture of some of the detainees, even deaths over recent weeks of some.

so in the public's mind, they really recognize that the government here doesn't yet control this country. this trial is a step to convince them but i think it's a long way from people knowing that this government is really in control of everything in the country. >> and nic, we saw pictures of him behind that cage there. how is he living now? is he actually being fed well or is he in good health? >> reporter: he looks pretty frail. when you compare pictures to when he was first captured in september last year, he's not the sort of strong looking man, walking with crutches today. i talked to his brother. he said he's getting better treatment now. i said what was happening before? his brother kind of looked around at officials and sort of said, well, that was before we're talking about. he didn't want to get into the

details of the conditions and situation, detention. but he said they are improving. that was coming from his brother. so one has to take it at face value. >> thank you so much. we're looking at royalty, british pride, london erupting in celebration of queen elizabeth. you can watch on a computer. ♪

we're talking about hyper partisanship in washington. does this even come as a surprise to you that it is really this bad? now they are measuring it and they have it in numbers. >> reporter: it's not a surprise but it's a remarkable way ever quantifying the problem in our politics, out of control hyper partisanship leading to unprecedented division and dysfunction in washington. you start to see as you said now political identification is more polarizing, more divisive, than racial identity, gender, class, age. that's startling. that is a should be a real wake-up call to us all, given our historic wrestling with these other issues in our country. it's a direct result of the kind of education we're getting with the rise of partisan media. this cool aid that ends up getting force fed to folks that they think people with political differences are less american and different than they are. this is a troubling study and it should be a wake-up call. >> let's talk about what it shows. you've got the divide, the

widest on things like social safety net. or what surprised me was actually the environment. you have other things regarding unions and equal opportunity but really comes down to is the role of government and that people are so widely split on what the government should and should not be doing. >> absolutely. and one of the things in these value cross tabs you see is a fundamental difference in terms of asymmetric polarization. for example the environment. 25 years ago republicans over 80% of them felt that government regulation was positive to preserve the environment. now that's cut in half to over 40%. same thing on philosophical divides. in the past you did see both parties not so far together because there was an active center right as well as center left, the growing ideological split on these issues does reflect the fact that the parties are more polarized than ever before and notes in dennally you have a record number of independents in result

in direct reaction to this polarization. people are saying this is ridiculous. they want something different. >> what was interesting is that you see this gap and it's starting to widen during bush's years, george w. bush, then president obama really i mean he gains a lot of traction during the campaign because he promises i'm going to make this better, change the tone in washington. then the realities of working with congress. how do you manage to change this? is there even a way when you look at the administration, is there anything they can actually do to change the tone? >> no question, hyper partisan head winds and this was president obama's appeal. no red states, no blue states, only the united states. you say with this polarization that we start to see during the bush add min, explodes during the obama years in part because republicans now because they are so polarized are overwhelmingly inclined to see the government in negative terms so

polarization being a self fulfilling profession set. not only change the culture, push back on this drum beat of partisan media but i think if we see election reforms and congressional reforms to stop this structure that causes our politicians to constantly play to the base than reaching out across the aisle to solve problems on behalf of the american people that might help. >> i know a lot of people saying amen to that. so thank you, john. appreciate it. >> have you wondered what it's like to be on a presidential campaign trail. not easy, tight deadlines. wake up to the alarm clock not sure what city you're in. hop on line right now and we're talking now, wolf blitzer and our team are answering your questions in real time what it's like, log on to cnn.com/roundtable. remember, the hanging chads, there is a new debate over is

fight over the purging of voter rolls in florida. legal council for florida's election officers recommended counties stop removing names from those voter lists. after the justice department warned florida that it failed to properly notify the federal government. democratic senator bill nelson says he is outraged by the purging. >> in the year 2012, here we are taking people's right to vote away from them. i thought we settled this in all of the civil rights era back in the 50s and 60s. >> miami herald political writer mark caputo is joining us. i want to talk about this because we'll never forget west

palm, i was in west palm for weeks doing the ballot recount trying to distinguish hanging chads. now specifically, who asked in the first place for florida's voting rolls to be purged, those lists. >> that's a good question, suzanne. it appears that rick scott asked for it according to the ap, then we hear from rick scott's people and folks close to rick scott that there are people in the division of elections mentioned to him hey, here is an initiative we're embarking on, what do you think. scott said great, go for it. >> what was the thinking behind at the look at the voter lists and start eliminating. >> well, if you're not a citizen you shouldn't be registered to vote and you shouldn't be voting. i think that's the baseline is where the law is. but more broadly, if you are a republican you generally believe the voter roles need to be clean and you're concerned about voter fraud. if you're a democrat you think that these efforts are tantamount to voter suppression. this gets back to the last

segment we're in a hyper partisan era doesn't seem you can do anything. >> the justice department gets involved, now saying you got to stop. how does florida respond? do we have any idea how florida officials are responding to that? >> well, we don't. we know that they haven't responded and have until wednesday. they could respond today or tomorrow. who knows at 11:59 p.m., it didn't specify what time. you know, i have a feeling that they are probably not going to fight the justice department on this, but that's just a feeling. i've been wrong before. there is a chance that florida is going to say okay, sue us, justice department, because we think we have the right to do this. >> we have a hint, a spokesman for florida division of elections told cnn his office is preparing a response and the department has a duty under state and federal laws to ensure that florida's voter registration roles are current and accurate, therefore, identifying ineligible voters is something we are always doing. but clearly looks like the

justice accident saying look, you violated federal rules here. they are going to have to explain themselves. but how do we think this is going to impact what is taking place in florida? who does it benefit and who does it hurt? >> well, that's a tough question to answer. if you think about it, this isn't a whole lot of people but then again in the 2,000 election, that was decided by 535 votes. we have a list of 2600 suspected or better said potential non-citizens. now, the overwhelming majority is in the miami area, about 1600, almost 1700 are on the list are here in miami. so far the elections officials in miami-dade county have been about able to verify about 500 of them. of the 500, 13 were non-citizens and of them two had cast ballots. everyone else so far has been shown to be a citizen and lawful voterment we had run analysis.

about 58% of the rolls were his span i and most independents targeted. democrats more and whites and republicans far less so. >> i had a chance to speak to the head of the naacp, one of the problems this is disproportionately affecting those in the african-american community and latino voters. that seems to be where the fault line is. >> that's a statistical thing. it's a really hispanic or latino voters. you target potential non-citizens you're looking at immigrants, and in florida most happen to be hispanic, latino. your sample is going to be skewed. that's what's happening. >> marc, we're following this. see what happens tomorrow when the florida officials have to get back to the justice department and respond to what they are going to do. whether or not they are going to keep purging voters off the list or whether or not it's going to stop. thank you, marc. good to see you. >> never a dull moment here in florida.

>> all right. accused of sexually abusing ten boys. jerry sandusky is finally going to stand trial. 14 clubs. that's what they tell us a legal golf bag can hold. and while that leaves a little room for balls and tees, it doesn't leave room for much else. there's no room left for deadlines or conference calls. not a single pocket to hold the stress of the day, or the to-do list of tomorrow. only 14 clubs pick up the right one and drive it right down the middle of pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. until i got a job in the big apple. adjusting to city life was hard for me. and becoming a fulltime indoor cat wasn't easy for atti.

but we had each other and he had purina cat chow indoor. he absolutely loved it. and i knew he was getting everything he needed to stay healthy indoors. and after a couple of weeks, i knew we were finally home! [ female announcer ] purina cat chow indoor. always there for you. like a ramen noodle- every-night budget. she thought allstate car insurance was out of her reach. until she heard about the value plan. see how much you could save with allstate. are you in good hands?

jury selection started in the jerry sandusky child abuse trial. he is a former penn state assistant football coach charged with sexually abusing ten boys. this is a case that has received a lot of publicity, already we have seen several potential jurors dismissed because they either have a close connection

to the school, or even to sandusky. i want to bring in paul callen to talk about this. one of the surprises that we heard from the judge is he's insisting that the identities of sandusky's accusers be made public. cnn is going to blur the faces of those who accused him, we want to protect their anonymity. but what is the thinking here behind the judge's decision on this? >> well, the thinking is that first of all, under current case law, the public has a right to know and to look at the trial process to determine who the witnesses are in an important case. now, the only time that witness identity is shielded and this is upheld by the courts, tends to be in cases where there is a threat, an organized crime case, for instance, an undercover police informant, there might be special circumstances like that. you also might have a situation where a child was involved while

he is a child. but remember, in the sandusky case all of the witnesses are adults. >> couldn't this potentially keep them, i mean, future alleged victims from coming forward? would this possibly act as a disincentive when you have other cases? >> it certainly will act as a disincentive but the same disincentive applies really to any sort of a murder case. suppose it was a murder case. any kind of a criminal case i meant to say. suppose it was a murder case and the witnesses came in to testify and you would say well, if their identity is revealed, no one will testify in murder cases. and eventually we would be left with secret trials in america. and the presumption under the constitution is open trials, open disclosure. the press may choose not to reveal names but that's a custom, a journalistic custom. the courts have been open about revealing witness names at the time of trial. >> how do you manage to get an impartial jury when you look at

the number of people, i believe a figure of one in ten folks either who worked for the university, penn state, or employed by the university, and some people know this guy. they know sandusky. how do you do that in a limited jury pool and high profile case? >> it's extraordinarily difficult, suzanne, in this case. you know f we compare it to other high profile cases, the o.j. simpson case tor casey anthony case, those were cases you had an enormous amount of publicity and how can you find somebody who knows nothing about the case to serve. this is those cases times ten because it's taking place in this small community in pennsylvania that derives really all of its income, all of its employment from penn state university. everybody knows everybody else. so, this is going to be a difficult situation. now, you never are going to find somebody who hasn't heard about the case or hasn't read something about the case. but you will eventually find people who will say i can put

that aside and limit my decision to what i hear in the courtroom. the evidence only. and that's what the judge is looking for. >> paul, though, to that end, though, the judge has now said he's not sequestering the jury and made them promise they are not going to get on the internet or watch tv. is that a reliable, to actually say okay, it's in your hands, i trust you guys? >> it's not particularly reliable. i think most lawyers who try cases, high profile cases, think that the jurors probably get some information improperly. but sequestration is almost never used in the united states now. at one time it was quite common. now it's really not used. the o.j. simpson case, i was reading estimates that the sequestration cost $3 million in that case. casey anthony, $300,000 to sequester the jury. you know, county governments don't have the money to sequester juries even if they want to so judges give instructions and they hope that jurors will follow those.

>> okay. you got to kind of have faith, i guess. paul, thank you. appreciate it. >> this only happened seven time since the time of galileo. we'll show you how to get a look at the shadow of venus passing across the sun. >> thanks for joining us today on the help desk talking about mortgages. joining me to help do that is lynnette cox, a personal finance author and founder of the financial advice blog ask the money coach.com and zafd a financial planner and professor of finance at nyu. lynnette, this question for you. take a listen. >> if i'm interested in buying a home? >> i don't like the word lever up. taking on a lot of debt. no. don't go back to the old days. but it is a great time to get a mortgage if you qualify. you know, rates for the 30-year fixed rate mortgage hit a record low, 3.75%. the lowest ever since 1950, since a 30-year has been

offered. so that's the case. if you have good credit. a 700-plus fico score, you have the savings and done the work to be able to afford the home i think it is a great time. but don't overextend. >> always a 30-year fixed or is it case by case? >> it depends on the current situation. if you're going to be in the house long term, a 30-year fixed is a great deal now because of how low the historic interest rates are. but you also have to look at how long you're going to be there. let's say you're an executive, you're going to be there three to five years. does it make sense to get a 3030-year mortgage. maybe you're going to be retiring in 10 or 15 years and you want the house paid off when you retire. generally 30-year mortgage is a good deal but you want to taylor it to your situation. >> guys, thank you. appreciate it. if you've got a question to tackle upload a 30-second video with your question to

ireport.com. people with a machine. what ? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7, you need an ally. hello ? ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense.

amazing show taking place.

venus is going to pass in front of the sun. pretty cool stuff. chad, you can explain how this works and when we're going to see it. and this is in our lifetime, right. after this the next time is? >> we're going to need real good medicine to see the next one. >> how many years. >> 2117 will be the year it happens again. >> we'll be 150. >> i'll be older than you. it is a small little disc that's going to pass in front of the sun, a silhouette of venus that passes in front of the sun. the only problem is this thing is only going to be about 1,000 times smaller than the sun. so, here's the disc you're going to see. and if you think about it, you could put 1,000 discs that size inside the sun. so it isn't going to be worth trying to look at with really the naked eye. honestly. you have to have -- the best place i believe to watch this is going to be on television. nasa will be covering it, it will be streamed live. it's a great event simply because of the way three

dimensionality lines up. you think all of these planets going all directions, all of a sudden one gets in the way. it's so much smaller than the moon compared to the sun because the moon is so much closer and when the moon makes its eclipse it almost takes the entire sun and blocks it out. don't look at this without the proper eye protection. that does not mean a couple of pair of sunglasses. not going to see it here in africa or south america. every place else in the world on the globe you'll see it. a lot of the times when you get to these solar eclipses you can only see them a couple of places. a little cloud cover probably down across the southeast and florida, d.c. up the east coast. the best, southern california where we'll have our cameras trained on the sun. please don't look at the sun. please. >> thank you. >> massive party in london for the queen. her husband was not by her side.

prince phillip is hospitalized with an infection that could pose a danger fon an older patient. i see pride. you know, i have done something worthwhile. when i earned my doctorate through university of phoenix, that pride, that was on my face. i am jocelyn taylor. i'm committed to making a difference in people's lives, and i am a phoenix. visit phoenix.edu to find the program that's right for you. enroll now.

the queen celebrating her 60 years as the britdish monarch. her husband prince phillip is in the hospital with a bladder infection. we're not sure how he's doing but we want to get a sense of whether or not it is a serious situation. i want to bring in elizabeth cohen to talk about this. certainly for older patients it

might be more significant. >> as you get older it can be more significant. it was considered significant enough that he was put in the hospital. we were told for observation for a few days. bladder infections come in all sorts of shades, so for example, you might have a bladder infection even in a man his age where you could give him antibiotics and he could go home. but on the other hand, they can be extremely serious and a bladder infection could cause a kidney infection, a bloodstream infection, could cause death. we have no reason to think it's the severe type for him. maybe they are keeping him in hospital because he's prince phillip. we don't know what end of the spectrum he's on. >> how does one get a bladder infection? >> it's actually more common in women than in men though as men get older they are more prone. so it's an infection of the bladder and for men what it can be that the prostate could grow

bigger. there could be several things. sometimes doctors, they are just as concerned about the causes which can be a sign of something big, not just the infection. they want to know what's behind it. >> we are learning from dan rivers that he is doing fine, that he's feeling better, in good spirits which is good. any way you can prevent this? >> not really. i think that the first signs you want to seek medical infection. you would have a fever, for example, and you would feel unwell. and people his age, older people sometimes get confused for some reason when they have a bladder infection. it's not clear why that happens. one thing that you should be careful of with an older person, when they are diagnosed with a bladder infection make sure it really is a bladder infection. sometimes they look at your urine and see bacteria. that doesn't mean you have a bladder infection. you want to make sure before you're trd
