"newsroom" continues right now with challah ga rahala gorani i phillips. >> it's 11:00 on the east coast, 8:00 on the west. after months of fallout and backlash, jerry sandusky's trial started just over one hour ago. on one side, ten young boys who alleged sandusky preyed on molestened and in some cases raped them over a course 15 years. on the other side, a defense team who maintains that sandusky is an innocent man. right now both sides are giving a jury of five men and seven women the first look at their cases, including a glimpse of pictures of the allege the victims as children. they're all grown now, of

course. opening statements are under way as we speak in central pennsylvania. let's get straight to susan candiotti on the ground at the courthouse in pennsylvania. now, you were just in court, susan. what did you see and hear just now? >> reporter: hala, the prosecutors just wrapped up their opening statements, and clearly the most powerful moment we have seen and heard so far involved them showing individual photographs of eight of the ten alleged victims in this case. single shots of each one of them. smiling as young boys who were, as the state alleges, as young as 8 years old when this alleged abuse occurred. all of them smiling. and in each case, jerry sandusky looked up at the photographs, and looked back down as the prosecutors introduced each one. and for the first time, we heard the first names of the victim it's, which we at cnn will not reveal because, as policy, we do not identify alleged victims of

sexual abuse. now, the other key part of this is when prosecutors called jerry sandusky "a serial predator" and went on to tell jurors in this case that the alleged abuse occurred, in their words, not over days. not over weeks. not over months. but in the words of authorities here, over years. in two cases, they said, there was only one instance of alleged abuse. very powerful stuff. the other thing that we saw, hala, this morning, was, we saw what appeared to be government evidence being brought into the courthouse. we have heard about this in the grand jury information we received from them. so we saw a set of golf clubs. we saw a snowboard. we saw a hockey stick. we also saw a penn state bag. these are believed to be gifted that jerry sandusky is said to have given according to prosecutors in the case to at least some of the victims, and what we believe alleged victim

number four. hala? >> susan candiotti, thanks very much. this trial, sandusky's trial, is expected to last about three weeks. we'll bring you detailed coverage throughout the trial, of course, as well as the defense strategy in all of this, which going to be interesting to dissect and more on what we know about the alleged victims. let's turn our attorney to commerce secretary john bryson, out of the hospital amp being involved in a hit-and-run accident in california is in his own vehicle. bryson was driving in the los angeles area on saturday when the accident happened. and now the commerce department is reporting that he suffered a seizure linked to the hit-and-run accident, 0 are i should say accidents, because he appears to have hit two vehicles. brianna keilar joins us now from the white house with the very latest. what more do we know? >> reporter: we know now, hala, from a commerce department official, that bryson is now back in washington. that he spent the night in the hospital. saturday night, at least, it

appears. and according to an official was given medication for a seizure, but he was in these traffic accidents within minutes of each other, hitting one car, actually twice, and then minutes later, another car, and this is where, according to the l.a. sheriff's department, police found him unconscious in his car, and alone. now, we just learned a short time ago from the commerce department, from a spokeswoman, that the secretary suffered a seizure. we had known from the l.a. sheriff's department that a preliminary alcohol screening came up negative, but there certainly is a little bit of a confusing situation here as we're trying to figure out exactly how all of these pieces are keshgted, because the sheriff's department says this is under investigation as a felony hit-and-run. sounds like there may be a health explanation, but we're still waiting to get all of the details sorted out, and hear from officials that there's a

defensetive link there, hala. >> if it was a seizure, i imagine alcohol or drugs or anything else are not suspected in this? >> reporter: well, that's what the sheriff's department says. preliminarily, alcohol and drugs, they don't think was part of it but there is a blood alcohol level test conducted and the results of that aren't back yet, but the commerce department saying that there was a seizure. yes. >> all right. any word from president obama at all? >> reporter: no. we don't know any word from president obama. i do know from an administration official that the white house was alerted last night. so this happened saturday at about 5:00 p.m. the white house was looped in last night, presumably -- we're presuming that president obama was looped in sometime around that time, but, of course, who knows at this point, hala. >> brianna keilar at the white house. thanks very much. as journalists we normally kel other people's stories. today the host of "good morning

america" robin roberts is the story. she made this amichel announcement to viewers this morning. >> sometimes treatment to cancer to lead to other serious medical issues and that's what i'm facing right now. it is something that is called mds, mile lyelodysplastic syndr. if you're looking that up i was doing the same thing. and the doctor has been holding my hand through this and will have a lot more information about mds on our website. and the reason i am sharing this with everybody now is because later today i begin what's known as pre-treatment. my big sister is a -- virtually perfect match for me. she's there with diane, ann sweeney, and she is going to be

among the dead are two former auburn football players. the current player was one of those injured. cnn's david mattingly is in atlanta this morning, and, david, was the alleged gunman do we know specifically targeting these players? >> reporter: that does not appear to be the case. what we're hearing from witnesses there was that someone else there at the party was confronted by a couple of young men. an argument ensued over a woman, and from there, the argument turned into a brawl, and that gunshot was fired. when it was over, through e men dead and three injured. among the three killed were two former auburn football players. one of them ed christian. the other la darius phillips. the player injured was eric mack. he is -- was treated and released, and he is expected to have a full recovery. but at this point, the police chief from auburn was talking about this case yesterday. and he was saying that these

players all seemed to be the victims of a brutal shooting, not the instigators and apparently not the original targets. >> and what do police say they know, then, about this suspect? >> reporter: well, this suspect is, desmonte leonard, 22 years old. immediately fled the scene. they were able to find his car in a county that is west of where the auburn area is, and from there they obviously believe he's got some help. someone's helping him hide out. someone may be transporting him somewhere else. they know he's on the run. they haven't been able to find him. there's a reward out for him and appealing to leonard to actually turn himself in. >> and also the question is what was going on at this party? do we sglknow? that may have caused it to so violent and deadly? >> reporter: that's the strange

thing. nothing strange going on. a pool party, summertime party at a complex off-campus from auburn university. witnesses say people were hanging out having a good time. an argument started, escalated into a fight and then gunshots. >> david mattingly. thanks for the update. a $15,000 reward leading to the capture of desmonte leonard and they set up a tip like. 334-223-5400. in your jeep grand cherokee. and when you do, you'll be grateful for the adaptive cruise control that automatically adjusts your speed when approaching slower traffic. and for the blind spot monitoring that helps remind you that the highway might not be as desolate... ...as you thought. ♪

you know, they're in their late 40s, early 50s and can't get back to where they are before. at the same time, therapy so more optimistic than which i met them six months ago. they realized, they don't need that much to get by. they had the harsh reality of losing friendship, friends that don't understand what it's like to go from middle class to working poor, for them, their marriage and family, it's brought them a lot closer together. that's the up side to all this knop. they're not hopeful and frankly don't know if politic, new leadership can really change anything for them. >> and having an impact on their kids, delaying college and the rett of it. poby harlow, thank you. after her first story aired they wanted to help ux sended family on vacation. poppy asked them why they didn't take any of the money and the family said they talked to cnn because there are more people out there just like them going through something very difficult, like they are.

these are live images coming to us from the central city of homs in syria. live streamed online, and in the past hour or so, we've seen some black smoke rising above the rooftops in homs. we understand there have been reports of shelling and deaths across the country today once again. activists are blaming the syrian army for shelling areas that are held by rebel forces in homs, and in the process killing civilians, ard coulding to opposition activists. here you see, i believe this was shot earlier. live streamed earlier.

some of that smoke rising from above that rooftop area in homs, in syria. this, as the country descends more and more into chaos and bloodshed certainly more than 12,000 at the very least killed possibly more than 15,000 since this crisis began. we're going to have a report a little later with more on what's happening in syria on this program. for now, let's turn our attention to another country in the arab world, and nine days into a life sentence for not preventing the deaths of pro-democracy pro set offers the ousted egyptian president hosni mubarak is said to be very near death himself. a government spokesman says the 84-year-old muir bark is in a coma. you see him in a coma there as we he was attending his own trial. high blood pressurary problem, irregular heartbeat. in cairo with the latest on what we know. what more do we know about mubarak's health condition, ben? wa can you tell us?

do they think it's a ploy by mubarak and his team top get him transferred to that luxury hospital suite? >> reporter: well, depends who you talk to. many egyptians are genuinely sympathetic to the president. they say he served the country for decades. he's a war hero, and despite some mistakes may have made while president of egypt for 30 years, this is not the sort of treatment he deserves. others say that he should be treated even much worse. others continue to call for him to be hung. so very much difference of opinion on what egyptians want to see as hosni mubarak's final fate. hala? >> thanks very much, ben wedeman cnn international correspondent in cairo. and egyptians are about to elect mubar mubarak's successor next weekend. former prime minister is one of two surviving candidates in the runoff. this, too, has its

evacuate. the larimer county sheriff's office now says one person is missing in the wildfire. we're monitoring a news conference held right now on the fires and we'll keep you updated on the latest. jou let now let's bring in matter toologist chad myers. why is this fire so stubborn? >> a windy weekend, all the way, new mexico, utah, arizona, every state a red flag warning. wind guchts over 50 miles per hour. hala, they'll get a little handle on it today. a little help from mother nature. the winds shifted direction. the winds are coming in from the north and not from the south. that's kind of blowing the fire back on to itself, or blowing the hot part of the fire on to an area that may have already burned. that switch is dangerous for firefighters, because they have to see that switch coming so they can get out of the way of that switch, of that wind that comes in here. the humidity, up a little bit, but still very low. in the single digits all

weekend, which means relative humidity around 5% to 10%. 3,000 acres burned in a few hours yesterday when the winds really roared. up to 36,000 acres now. that's 60 -- 60 square miles of burn. just in colorado alone. obviously you know some of the fires in parts of new mexico are significantly bigger than even this one. hala? >> what about possible rain in the forecast? that's always sort of what you hope for in these cases. >> yeah. don't see that at all. the only rain we'll see in places that saw so much rain this weekend, pensacola. in 24 hours, pensacola had 21 inches of rain. can you imagine what that could do? the water went up so fast. flash flood warnings are still in effect for parts of pensacola and the area around this county now. >> thanks very much, chad, and speaking of pensacola, these pictures from the gulf coast, in from one of our i recorders, randy hamilton captured these before and after pictures saying

>> reporter: what they're trying to do hala, try to close this loophole that existed that i will you odd some of these coaches who are accused of physically and sexually abusing gymnasts to continue coaching, even after they were banned from the sport. by usa gymnastics. for example, there was this one coach doug boguer, who was banned because of allegations of sexual abuse for life from the sport, but these gymnasts found out he was still coaching at another gym that was actually owned by a convicted sex offender. these gym was not affiliated with usa gymnastics. so these coaches were allowed to continue working. now what the sport's governor body has done, any gym minast w wants to compete sanctioned by usa gymnastics must belong to a member club or be a member of usa gymnastics themselves. they can be unaffiliated if they want to be but cannot wear any sort of logos or be operate pg

and bring a coach from a filiat. hoping to have stricter control over these gymnasts. >> those who say they were victims, what do they say as the proposed changes? >> reporter: they say it's a good step. they're very happy it has happened but say it doesn't go far enough. it doesn't cover camps, which can be operated by coaches outside of the auspices of usa gymnastics but they are very happy, this is a first good step, they call it. usa gymnastics says they will continue to look at more changes to try to promote this safety of young giymnasts. obviously, big problems in the past. >> casey wian in los angeles. the new policy changing by usa g gymnastics go into effect in august.

announcements and work under way at the moment, and we hope it is heading in the right direction. >> christine legarde, the managing director of the imf is taking a look at the wall street down 28 initially after news of the bailout for spanish banks were announced futures were up and the european markets were up and the euro ticking upwards and 10-year bond yields for spain and then all of the excitement fizzled out. today, in the syria stronghold of homs, look at the amateur video here. the distinct sound of shelling, a daily occurrence almost in homs and many other areas across syria. opposition forces say that at least 50 people have been wounded and many of them are so badly injured that they are expected to die. reuters is reporting at least 35

people have been killed, and in all a total of 60 have die d in the country in one day. cnn is not able to confirm the independent reports and another key development, the opposition syrian national council has nominated a minority kurdish akvist to monitor all of this. and we go to have a report about the shelling there in homs that seems particularly bad, ree ma. >> well, a very bloody day indeed in syria. 61 people have been killed across syria today. among them women, and children and army defectors, but specifically bad day for homs. we saw live streaming by activists and we could hear the heavy shelling. activists are saying that rescue teams and medical teams are not even able to go to the injured people, and help them. there is no electricity across

the city, and no water and telephone lines are down. hala. >> well, rima, one other important point about this conflict, the u.n. says that 9,000 syrians have died since anti-assad protests have erupted, and, rima, we thank you for that. we can help brighten an old dog's mind so he's up to his old tricks. with this kind of thinking going into our food, imagine all the goodness that can come out of it. just one way we're making the world a better place... one pet at a time. vibrant maturity. from purina one smartblend.

iphone and the ipad and we are expected to see features like broad facebook integration which we don't v and new maps and interesting technology with maps. and also some new features with siri, the voice-enabled personal assistant on the iphone. we are expected to see a whole bunch of new mac computers and an entirely new slate of mcintosh computers, and of course, everyone is watching and everybody in the technology world interested in apple is going to be following this event closely. i will be headed inside shortly. again, this is the worldwide developers conference, and so folks from all over the world paying a lot of, you know, paying close attention to what apple is going to be announcing here, because thee people behind me, these are the people who make the apps, and this is what the conference is for is to instruct them about the latest products tole allow them to get one-on-one training so they can build the newest technologies. >> and that is really the iphone is so dependent on the success

and the popularity of the apps, but i mean, ordinary people out there must have been waiting for hours. i saw you speaking to one man from australia who spent the night outside of those doors or something? >> they started lining up last night. it is not cheap to come to the conference. it cost $1,600 and the event sold out in less than two hours. so it is going to be going on all week, but today is kind of the most important day of this conference is when apple ceo tim cook delivers the keynote, and by the way, this is the first time he will be delivering the keynote address. last year at this time, it was steve jobs and the last time we saw him in public. the event will also dra and generate a lot of interest, because it is tim cook's sort of big day, you e nknow, on this stage. >> thank you, dan simon. that will kick off at 10:00 a.m.

pacific. newsroom continues with my colleague michael holmes. >> thank you, very much. i'm in for the suzanne malveaux today. well, he was cited in two traffic accidents over the weekend and now the commerce department secretary says that john bryson suffered a seizure while he was driving and a spokeswoman says that bryson is back in washington now after spending the night in the hospital, and police say that he rear ended one car, and got out to speak to the occupant and left to hit that car again and later struck another vehicle, and the investigation is ongoing. well, some 400 firefighters are battling a huge wildfire in colorado. this blaze doubled just overnight in terms of the size. thousands of people are being brought from their homes, and officials say it is so bad that there is no hope of containing the flames. >> the folks are doing everything they can, but mother nature is running this fire yesterday and today. all we can do is to get the

people out of the way. >> well, authorities say that at least one person is missing. now, weekend shooting at the auburn university campus has left three men dead, and all of them 20 years and three other men wounded. two of the dead were auburn students and former football players, and today, the focus is on the manhunt for the suspect. auburn police chief said that the man should be considered armed and dangerous. >> we plead with anyone who k w knows his location to notify and call 911 wherever you are at the you know where mr. leonard may be located. we have two other persons who are persons of interest at this time, and we want to locate them. i'd like to implore them if they are listening today to come to the montgomery police department and ask to speak to the detectives and it would be in their best interests to come forward. i would like to reach out to mr. leonard and ask him to turn

himself in today. >> and cnn's david mattingly is here with more on the developing story. start with the manhunt, and what is the latest there? >> they could be closing in on the guy, because i had a conversation with the police chief in montgomery, alabama, which is an hour west of auburn university, and close to where the shootings took place. the police chief there tells me that they have made an arrest actually for someone accused of hindering prosecution, and lying to police, covering up the fact that they were harboring this man over the last 24 hours. we know that demonta leonard is a native of montgomery, alabama, and they may be closing in on him, and looking for an arrest soon. hopefully. this is all coming up because of what happened late saturday night at a party. this was at an off-campus party off of the auburn university campus, and it was a pool party, and people saying that there

were people relaxing and then an argument started reportedly over a woman, and then from there it turned into a fight, and then there were gunshots. before it was done, there were three people shot, and three fatally, and two of them were former auburn university football players and ed christian and la darous phillips and one current player who has been released from the hospital and expected to make a full recover, edward mack. >> and what do we know about the p party? students? some were, some weren't? >> well, nothing unusual in the summertime, pool party in off campus apartment building, and people there. witnesses say there was a relaxed atmosphere when apparently an argument started. these men came into the party and confronted the couple of the men who were there. no one confronted the football players. they apparently were not targeted, and no one came in gunning for them, but they happened to be there when the

bu bullets started flying and they got hit. >> it is a huge football cool s and i can imagine the reaction on campus. >> yes, national championship twoer yoor a eyears ago, and th involved did not play on that team, but the head coach gene chizik put on a statement saying that the people on that team are paying close attention to them to help them with the grief. >> david mattingly, thank you for the report. this week the court could turn into a legal cliffhanger. they are to rule on some biggest cases, and perhaps the biggest is health care, and considering whether the law championed by president obama is constitutional. the supreme court will also issue a ruling on arizona's tough immigration law, and we are waiting for a decision on juvenile justice and whether 14-year-olds who commit murder

can be sentenced to life without parole. senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin joining us on the phone. start with health care rerm to, and the court heard three days of arguments in march, and you said in march, it did not go well for the government, and what does that mean for the law? >> well, it was really an epic moment in supreme court history, and as big of a deal as the argument was, the decision will be bigger, because it is not a case about the signature piece of legislation of obama's presidency, but it is also about the scope of the federal government's power. it is about whether the federal government can insist on everybody buying health insurance, and it is just going to really define the relationship between the judiciary and the federal government, and the rest of the federal government, i think, for many years. >> and what about the impact on the law, itself? what is it going to mean for the

law? >> well, this is where the case gets very complicated and interesting, because one of the issues in the case was if the court strikes down the individual mandate. if the court says that is unconstitutional, as the justices seem to indicate they were leaning, how much of the rest of the law goes with it? there were am least some justices who believed that the whole law had to go which is a real earthquake in terms of the importance, but the issue of how much of the law is to be struck down if any of it is to be struck down is a big mystery about this case, and it is one of the many things that we are waiting to hear about. >> and let's talk for a minute about the arizona immigration law, a very controversial one in some areas, but what is the legal issue at stake here? >> well, the legal issue there is actually somewhat more narrow than the political debate would suggest. the legal issue is, does arizona's law, which describes

how arizona law enforcement should deal with individuals who are suspected of being in the country illegally, does that law interfere with the federal government's power? it is not about du it violate the rights of hispanics or anyone else. the legal issue before the court is federal versus state power, and the argument there suggested very much that the justices were leaning in favor of upholding the arizona law. so that's where that case looks to be going, but obviously, we won't know until we hear the results. >> we mentioned in the intro that another major case deals with juveniles who commit murder. tell us about that case. >> well, that is another case where the court has been struggling with the issue of do individual -- do young people have different rights under the 8th amendment which bars cruel and unusual punishment. in 2003, the court said that juvenile offenders under age 18

could not be sentenced to death under any circumstances. and the question here is whether they could be -- whether they could get life in prison without parole. the question -- it's an issue of are juveniles so young and uninformed that a sentence would be simply too draconian and earlier the court said that a death penalty is true dra kocon, but the question here, is life in prison without parole for juvenile offenders too harsh or too cruel and unusual p punishment? >> well, there is a recent poll that i wanted to ask you about, too, and only 44% of americans approve of the way that the supreme court is the handling the job. there's the stats, and you are an expert on the high court, and does it surprise you? why is the number so low? >> well, not really, because when the supreme court is perceived as part of the

political circles that are so familiar in congress and the white house, the court's reputation dips. it dipped in 2000 with the "bush v. gore" decision and the health care case is widely regarded as so politicized that it is not a surprise that the court has dipped, but one of the thing abts the supre about the supreme court is that they have lifetime tenure, and while they prefer the higher nu numbers to the the low ones, they don't matter, because they are just there. as one justice jackson said, they are not time, because they are infallible, and they are infallible, because they are final. that is the last word and it won't change regardless of what the polls say. >> and legal analyst jeffrey toobin, so good to talk to you. thank you. here is what we are working on this hour -- deadly violence there breaking out between the muslims and the buddhists. a state of emergency declared in

opposition group in exile just elected a minority kurdish activist to unite dissidents supposedly aimed at ousting syrian president al assad. and you see the workers pulling out of myanmar as they say that 17 people have been killed in the past week there, so they are pulling out. the violence started after they arrested three men in connection to the rape and killing of a buddhist woman that happened last month. in libya, a lot going on there. the british embassy first of all says that everyone in a diplomatic convoy is accounted for after the convoy was attacked today in the eastern city of benghazi, and you may remember that benghazi was the center of the uprising that toppled moammar gadhafi, but this is the latest in the series of clashes in libya, and

worrying trend. a lot of the people are wlaming islamist and blaming tribal rivalries and now we are joined by tim list who is here to talk about this. tim, so many clashes, and the one in the u.s. consulate mission in benghazi, and the clash between the militias that overtook colonel gadhafi and seems a lack and loss of central government. what is your read? >> i don't think the central government had any control. they were placeholders and not government. their mission is to sheppard in a new government, and the elections that were due to take this place month will be in july to push the process on, but the nastional transmission process s to help that along. there is an old saying that politics is local, and all local

politics is old. so perhaps the army is bigger than their size in terms of the impact on benghazi. >> well, going back to iraq war, most of the foreign neck of thes who went there to fight the american americans. and this is a theme of libya, we will reform, and live in a democratic umbrella, but it was never like that, because you have militias in town holding on. >> yes. >> and the general in tripoli cannot get the four staff members of the international criminal court who are held right now, cant no get them released, because the militia has them. it is a full-on hope to think that the u.s. transitional council can unite the country. the tribes are most important, but beyond the tribes of course, you have well armed militias and the arms came from all of

gadhafi's weapons stickers when they were stacked. so you have well armed society, and smugglers from the south especially and fighting over the weekend, and that is largely about the smuggling routes. in the far east of the country, they used to call it die hard in derna, because that is where all of the extremists went in iraq. there is a bedrock of support, and aman al zawiya ri is organizing the camps. >> this is a potential worry of america, because it has the plans to evolve into a threat. >> yes, and the americans are flying surveillance drones over eastern libya to make sure that the camps don't get a momentum about them, and a center of gravity. >> like yemen. >> yes, and already to the south of libya, you have problems in mali which is split in two where

the islamist groups have moved into mali and a lot of them have weapons from gadhafi's arsenals. >> and they are talking with al qaeda as well. >> yes, they are talking to al qaeda. and it is a little bit of a mess, michael. >> yes, and it is not what everyone hoped for. briefly, the election, when it is held, hopes for unity there? >> well, it is so difficult, because mainly in libya, it is about personalities, and it is about powerful people. it is not about parties. they haven't had an election since 1952, so creating parties all of of the sud sen going to be difficult. most of the seats are reserved for individual candidate and not parties. dozens of parties have copd up, but -- have popped up, but we will have to wait and see how that happens. and it is day one of the rape trial of former penn state assistant coach jerry sandusky. we will have a live report for you. don't forget you can watch cnn live on your computer at

sandusky, that former penn state assistant football coach, of course, accused of session yulely abusing ten boys for more than a decade. cnn contributor sarah gannon is a report foreer the "patriot news" and has been in court all morn morning. take us into the courtroom and what were the opening statements that we heard? >> well, prosecutors started kind of with a show that really left some jurors with the mouths open. they went through every alleged victim and put their photo up on the screen and remember these men are adults and men, and they put up photos of them when they were boys and when they said they were abused by jerry sandusky, and gave a rundown of the abuse they endured. prosecutors say that jerry sandusky was a serial pedophile and went after the children because they were at-risk and vulnerable. jerry sandusky's attorney got up and said, he was vulnerable. he did things for kids that no one else would do and these men who are coming forward were

reluctant to come forward and some of them denied they were ever abused and that jerry sandusky's attorney alleged that the prosecutors coax ed them ino saying the things that they did and he pointed to this fact saying that 6 of the 8 men who will take the stand and testify against jerry sandusky have already gotten civil attorneys, so he alluded to the fact that they are in it for the money. >> and apart from the fact that we learn so much about jurors at all before the case begins, 8 of the 16, and alternates are, have connections to penn state, and is that likely to be an issue? >> well, no. the judge actually addressed that before the openings began. he said, look, this is a small town and a rural community, and he said that i trust you to keep your profession al lives separae from your personal life in everyday. so i trust you to do the same thing when you are here. yes, more than half of these people have connections to penn state. three of them have connections to key witnesses, but the judge allowed them to be on the trial,

because he trusts them to make a fair decision. >> one of the alleged victims could confront sandusky as early as today. is that right? >> yes, that is right. after lunch, we expect to hear from alleged victim 4 who is going to say that he was abuseded by jerry sandusky over a long period of time. prosecutors say that jerry sandusky was like a surrogate father to him, but jerry sandusky would take him on bowl trips with the family and other vacations, and when they were alone together, he would abuse them, and he also said that in one of the situations, he was threatened, if you don't do this, you are going home. >> and how long is this expected to go on there? it seems to be so much evidence that is going to be heard? >> well, you know, it is interesting, because there are boxes and boxes of evidence on the tables behind the attornes,s and we do expect that this could last the rest of the month, and that is the prosecution's case and the defense case. prosecutors though, they have said that they don't need more than about a week to make the

case. that is an estimate, because you have to factor in cross-examination and really, it is hard to tell how long the testimony is going to go and what could come up that is not expected. >> sara ganim, thank you so much. and the president says that he would like to know who is responsible for the security leaks. >> it is obvious that the leaks came from a person in the administration. the president may not have done it himself, but the president is certainly responsible as commander in chief. >> we will have the latest on the leak investigation when we come back. um... try the number one!

a flood warning is in effect in alabama after some flooding took place in the coastal states. in one part of florida waters

reached eight feet. yes, eight feet. even a jail was flooded and lost power, and the rain has slowed down somewhat, but officials say that the damage is already in the millions of dollars. we are tracking this closely, and we will bring you the latest next hour. stick around for that. the attorney general eric holder says he has assigned two u.s. attorneys to lead investigations into possible leaks of classified information, but that isn't silencing republican critics who this weekend on cnn, john mccain, the sen or the, said that the buck has to stopt ta top. >> it is obvious on its face that, this information came from individuals who are in the administration, and the president may have not done it himself, but the president is responsible as commander in chief. >> all right. i want to bring in our national security contributor, fran townsend who is a member of the cia, and the department of homeland security external advisory boards, but fran joins us by skype, and fran, it is not

about those disclosures about the drone program, and congressional leaders being briefed after the fact, and what is your take on this? >> well, it is never a good day in the executive branch when congress is learning about a program or the details of the program from the newspaper or from the news media. so, there are ways to do the briefings and notifications to capitol hill in a very confined way to prevent leaks, but they do have an oversight responsibility. so, you know, it is interesting to me that shouldn't frankly, that shouldn't happen. >> what would you like to see out of the investigation like this? >> well, you know, michael, these investigations are very sort of widespread and unwieldy if you will, and so they are difficult to come to a clear conclusion. one of the benefits that i have always believed of the investigation, itself, is when the investigators start to

interview the witnesses and putting them in grand jury and pulling the documents and the e-mails and the phone records, you bet that folks who have been providing information and classified information to the press are less likely to do it, and it is much more difficult for the media to get inside of national security programs, and that chilling effect is a benefit if you are trying to encourage people to try to keep the secrets that they have taken a sworn oath to maintain. >> well a lot of people, fran, who would say, and ask the question, is a special prosecutor ever a good idea? >> well, you know what, they are typically not. you know, the republicans and the democrats when they are in power hate to have a special prosecutor, one, because they lose control in the ability to have oversight over these people, and what you need though is a clearly defined mission for a set period of time with a defined budget. if you have those three things, then the prosecutor has to focus very clearly on what their mission is and not have it run years and years for tens of millions of dollars and never

come to a conclusion. and so i think that mission is important, budget is important and time line is important if you are going to have one. >> yes, right. national security contributor fran townsend, and always good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you, michael. the race for the president is getting tighter. we will have the latest poll numbers for you and the dueling online ads out today. do stick around. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen,

the romney and obama campaigns are out with dueling web videos today. they focus on jobs and also trying to take advantage of each other's gaffes. it is just another sign of how tough the campaign fight is becoming, and how tight the race is shaping up to be. a new poll out today also highlight highlights the close race for the white house and political editor paul steinhauser is joining us from washington. good to see you, paul. start with the poll. what does it show? >> you are close, michael. you want close, well, look at this, cnn poll of polls, and look at the number. president obama 45%, and mitt romney, the republican challenger, 45%, and that is as tight as you can get. >> well, you can't get closer. >> well, we took the three national polls that were all conducted after entirely after that unemployment report that came back out oabout ten days ago on the may unemployment numbers, and there you go, 45% for each candidate and as tight as you can get with five months to go until election day.
