8:01 am
america. we will begin this hour in greece where the voters have spoken in parliment,le bailout, the leader has two more days to form a coalition government. investors around the world are now relieves that greece has not decided to scrap the euro, ditch the bailouts, but what it has decided is anything but clear, unfortunately. but kristine rollins has been watching europe. let's talk about the election and the impact on us right now. >> i can't overstate the importance of greece to the american economy. it comes at a time when it looks like growth is softening a bit,
8:02 am
and greece is the weakest link in europe, and europe is the biggest destination for our exports. so if greece continues to hurt and has uncertainly, and the questions being asked about the euro continue, then you have a problem. you have europe not buying as much stuff as it used to and that is bad for american jobs. so that's a really important part here. also, what greece avoided by this voiavoided something big, leaving the euro zone, if that would have happened there would be been concerned of big repercussio repercussions. you would secret freeze, u.s. stocks plunge, quite frankly, and you would have the euro sink against the u.s. dollar.
8:03 am
so there are all of these ramifications, and it looks as though for now europe and grease from -- greece have averted that. they're still standing on the edge of a cliff and they have a lot of work to do to continue to edge backward. they have to form a government in three days. in ten days they have to meet a bailout deadline. in july their funds run out, so they're still at a critical moment here. >> so what can the u.s. do beside sit back, panic a little bit. >> don't panic. panicking is not good, but look today, the stock market is down just 18 points. the dow jones had a good week last week because there were a lot of hopes that what would happen last weekend would happen. we're watching spain, we're
8:04 am
watching italy, this may be one of those times when they say what kind of leadership can the government provide? it's coming from europe, germany, and france where they had their own elections. and the brand new leader in france, it's really important what he decides and what kind of leadership he has. we're watching a very important friend and alley who is hurting. 12 members of the euro zone have v been close to a recession. we're hoping it doesn't drag us down too. >> and greece is due to make more cuts by the end of the month. while greece is trying to sort things out, the leaders of the world's biggest economies are in mexico for the g 20 summit. and brianna keiler is live in
8:05 am
mexico, while you're talking about sunshine and weather, greece and the euro zone dominating discussions here. >> yes, there is an economic storm cloud despite how beautiful it is here. president obama is coming here with a message, and that is get it done. and that is his message for a handful of -- for members of the euro zone leader who is are here. but the key players, even though germany is here, spain, france, and the president of the eu is here as well, but really president obama has his eye toward this eu summit in pruszles at the end of the month. but he is looking for signals for tough decisions and look for a decision. >> and the president going to sit down with vladamir putin,
8:06 am
like weapons shipped to syria. >> yes, and the president just scheduled a meeting with the leader of germany. he is meeting with vladamir putin. of all of the meetings, this is one you want to be a fly on the wall for. the big sticking point is syria. the u.s. wanted to is a alishar go, and kira, this is not really a great time with this personal relationship with vladamir and president obama. with pugh tin not going to the g 8 summit at camp david, and president obama not going to the asia-pacific summit coming up.

8:11 am
that was so liciting cash. this is a week after shellie was charged with perjury and george zimmerman was ordered back to jail. they've been going through the phone calls. now the timing of these calls are key, right? >> yes. the bond hearing was on april 20th, and these phone calls, six different conversations between april 16th and april 19th. this is where prosecutors allege that george zimmerman was talking to his wife about how to manage the money. he told the judge he did not have money, but prosecutors found out he had a lot of money, at least $135,000. >> so that's how much we're talking about. >> yes, a lot of money that he could have used for bond, but you here how he was telling his
8:12 am
wife what to use and what to hold. >> they were alleging they were both talking in code? >> it's interesting, we have the transcripts, we're going through the audio. let's look at the transcript. if the bond is 50, pay the 15, pay 10% so a bondsman. shellie said i don't want you to pay 100? >> shellie and george a talking about thousands of dollars that could have been used for that bond. >> his defense attorney did disclose the donations five days after the hearing, right?
8:13 am
this is money he did not know about, this was money apparently raised through another website that george zimmerman set up. o'mara learned about it after the hearing and he quickly disclosed it to the judge, and that's why the prosecution moved to revoke his bond. >> so he had access to this money, he was able to transfer it back and forth. >> and if you read into what prosecutors were saying, that's what they were talking about. they were talking about this money, this thousands of dollars they had well before the bond hearing so make it clear what to hold. >> because of those phone calls, a judge revokes zimmerman's $150 bail. his wife is free after a $1,000 bond.

my hands up, so no threat. >> but now rodney king, the man at the center of the riots, become a symbol for police brutality. he was found at the bottom of a similaring pool. there are no signs of foul play. right now, authorities are expected to conduct an autopsy on king and toxicology tests as well. let's go to miguel marquez. >> they're waiting for the toxicology reports, that usually takes a couple weeks. it sounds like he was up much of the night. neighbors describe a very emotional conversation there about 3:00 a.m. sunday morning. his wife heard a splash, went to the pool, saw him at the bottom
8:18 am
of the pool, she's not a good swimmer, called 911, police pulled him out and he was pronounced dead about 6:11 on sunday morning. >> you said wife, is it a fiance or wife? >> fiance, i'm sorry. >> that's all right, i just wanted to double-check. so at this point is it just being called an accidental drowning until we know from from the autopsy? >> they suspect a accidental drowning, but he had a lot of personal demons. he used drugs and alcohol in the past. he admitted to be a recovering addict and still using capitol. police are saying they did not see any sign of drugs or alcohol in the pool area, but they appeared to be up all night, and because of his past history, a guy with plenty of problems in
8:19 am
his life unfortunately. they will wait for the toxicology before they declare what killed him. >> what's interesting is his fiance told authorities he is an avid swimmer, he loved to swim, sfligt. >> she did, he was clearly comfortable in the pool, but very good swimmers drown often. but it's not very clear what lead to this. >> any reaction from the community? i saw some of the local stations did talk to various neighbors, have you been able to get any kind of additional information? >> certainly people who knew him, and the neighbors are in shock, some are in shock he lived in their neighborhood. the current chief of the lapd issued a very kind statement, talking about how rodney king
8:20 am
changed the los angeles police department for the better. he may have had demons in his life and dealt with personal issues, but what happened on that night in 1991 was not right, and lapd today is a much better place for it and certainly rodney king changed souch around the country with law enforcement, race relations, and the way police agencies operate across the country. >> we covered that market for years, and we did see dramatic changes within the community. as you pointed out, race relatio relations, the police department, drastic changes. >> yes, and not always easy to come by. there was a lot of hurt and heart ache. the lapd didn't want to, at times, did not like especially rank and file officers did not

8:25 am
from eight of his accusers. we'll keep you posted on everything that happens. i want to bring in paul, who is a cnn legal contributor. this is what i would like to know, would you ever put jerry sandusky on the witness stand? >> never in a million years. he already admitted publicly in television interviews, such devastating things about showering with little boys that you know he will get torn apart on cross channel nation. >> we cannot forget that interview he did with bob costas. it was unbelievable. he wasn't real definitive off the top about anything, yet if he wants to take the stand, he
8:26 am
can say to his lawyer's nings n want to talk. but if a defendant wants to take a stand, he has every right to take the stand. and, this sort of plays into this disorder they came up with last week. in that if he has this personality, which is an attention seeking disorder, what better way to get attention than to get on the witness stand in the most highly profiled publicized case in america. so i think it doesn't matter what the attorney's say to him, this looks like a guy who wants to get on the witness stand and convince them he is innocent. >> witness after witness tells the same story, and sandusky's
8:27 am
attorney said a lot of people lied. it sounds like a hard case to make. >> it's been a very difficult case to make. i expected lengthy cross-examination of the victims. mcqueary, a lot would have kept him on the stand for days, and it was relatively quick. they're going to say the dates done line up, sandusky was some place else when he was supposed to be in the shower with a kid, but believe it or not, one of the attorneys said part of the defense is that jerry sandusky thought he had an obligation to teach under privileged boys how to take showered. if they're summing up on that they will have real problems convincing this jury. >> are you surprised this case went to trial? >> yes and no.
8:28 am
it's such a controversial case. the prosecutor would be unlikely to make a deal. we will face felonies. the only option would have been to plead guilty for everything and throw himself on the mercy of the court and hope the judge might give a lighter sentence. the one thing i wonner about, he is putting his wife and family through these horrible details we heard from the last week. if he is guilty. maybe he takes the stand and convinces all of us it's a horrible mistake. >> the defense made an attempt this morning to get the charges dismissed, right? >> i saw that. i was reading their arguments. they did the best they could. >> did they make a good argument? >> they made some technical arguments, that --
8:29 am
>> what did you think was interesting? >> i thought there were two things that were interesting. there was an imprecision by some of the victims as to when and where the offenses took place. so that's sort of, you know an area that's a good area for them to develop. the second area i find interesting, there was testimony from two janitors, one that now has alzheimer's said to the other janitor and says ho my god, i just saw him, lifting a little boy up and sexually abusing him. that was admitted into evidence even though it's clearly hearsay. it was the excited utterance exception. lawyers love to debate these. there's a big argument about if this was an excited utterance.
8:30 am
sometimes evidence is so reliable, if you say it right away after you see something, that's really a highly emotional thing. and the judge said this janitor saw something highly emotional and this is a legitimate excited utterance. >> paul, thank you so much, we'll depend on you quite a bit because cameras are not allowed in the courtroom, but you will hear all of the developments first right here on cnn. great shot. how did the nba become the hottest league on the planet? by building on the cisco intelligent network they're able to serve up live video, and instant replays, creating fans from berlin to beijing. what can we help you build? nice shot kid. the nba around the world built by the only company that could. cisco.

8:38 am
temps. the fire risk is now at high. any help coming? >> no. the wind will gust 60 miles per hour, just ripping out there. temperatures 95 to 100 degrees. the winds die off at night, you get a little containment at night and then the winds pick up in the afternoon. it drives firefighters stop because when the wind stops smoke gets everywhere and you can't put any kind of containment with air support. fires burned now 58,000 acre there is, and there's more than one fire because it jumped hot spots. it looks like a bunch of different fires going all directions. wind gusts 50 to 60 miles per hour all day there.
8:39 am
it isn't going to be a whole lot better but finally cooler weather, but the chance of rain is zero. sometimes when it tries to rain that's worse because there's lightning, but not enough rain to put out the new fire that the lightning made. >> that high park colorado fire has now burned 58,000 acres. as we mentioned. there will be a live press conference, it's going on right now, regarding the colorado wildfires. we'll continue to monitor that for you and bring you the latest news. a outrageous story in san antonio texas. a kindergarten teacher lined up the kids in the class and told him to hit each other. she even yelled hit them harder. all of kids were about 6 years old. it was supposed to be a lesson

wrapped up a historic presidential election in egypt. one candidate declaring victory, the other way saying wait a minute. it may not matter because the military changed the rules. the military has been running the country his the former leader was forced out. >> yes, the military created an interesting new fourth pillar. you now have the legislature which they took over, the
8:44 am
executive, which the muslim brotherhood seems to have taken over, and now you have the military establishment itself according to the cushional declaration. there is no oversight over the military. they deal with their own affairs, and no one, not even the president of the country according to this constitutional deck collar ration, has any right to question what the military does, and the military itself has oversight over the presidency. the president, for instance, cannot order the deployment of troop ths within egypt except with the approval of the supreme council of armed forces. the president cannot declare war except with the approval of the supreme council of armed forces. this may have been the design all along. egypt may well have a president
8:45 am
from the muslim brotherhood, but he is a president with very few powers. >> that's any next question, what kind of powers then will the new president that? and what does this say about the future of this country? >> well, at this point, the president has the power, for instance, to dissolve parliam t parliament, to appoint ministers, but the revolutionaries including the muslim brotherhood have gotten themselves into an interesting situation. they add the old powers, but they turned around and created through this gaffe, a very weakened president. so it's a very bizarre situation, and even though the brotherhood members were celebrating in the square overnight and into the morning, some people say there's very
8:46 am
little for them to celebrate even though they have won the presidency. not officially. the official results are not issued until thursday, but all indications is they have won around 52% of the vote compared to 48% for his opponent. >> thank you so much. the final results of the election may not be known until thursday. both sides are calling for investigations into voting irregularities. they're accused of bribing some of the 20 million egyptians that went to the polls over the weekend. i never thought to use aspirin for muscle pain. but i tested it out, and bayer advanced aspirin relieved my pain fast. it helps me get back in the game. but don't take his word for it. put bayer advanced aspirin to the test for yourself at fastreliefchallenge.com.

a dim memory. we have elizabeth cohen here to shed a little light. >> the sunscreen industry was told a year ago you have a year to make this happen, and they're saying we can't gthey are i sea oh, no, we can't get it done, because the changes required to the label are expensive and involves repackaging and resizing and we can't do it, but i will tell you, kyra, some members of congress and advocates are saying, come on, you had years and you knew it was coming from years ago and why couldn't you have gotten yourself together. >> and what changes are eventually coming? >> and you know, these are actually really interesting and i must say as a mom who buys a lot of sunscreen for four very pale bodies -- >> me, too. >> and that it will shed some light as you said. take a look. if it wants to be called broad spectrum, if that is something that the product wants to claim, it has to cover both uva and uvb, because right now, you can say that and not cover both of those. >> did you say broad spectrum on
8:51 am
the bottles or on the -- >> well, sometimes a sunscreen will say we are a broad spectrum. >> interesting. i never noticed that. >> now they are saying if you claim that, you have to protect against the uva and the uvb rays both of which can affect your skin. the second thing it has to do is to is that there has to be a warning on the label if it is under 15, because right now you can sell it under 15 and call it sunscreen and they are saying to put a warning, because it is not high enough. also, they have banned the use of sun block, waterproof or sweat proof, because let's face it, you can never block the sun 100%, and really, what can be sweat or waterproof? i mean, it is -- those never made sense to me, and you can put the stuff on and spend time in the water and it is still all there? >> how often do you reapply? >> you are supposed to reapply certainly when you get out of the water, but when you see waterproof, you think, i can go in and out of the water, but that not the case and that is why they want to see the change
8:52 am
in there. >> so, why the delay? >> they say that the delay is because it is so much work to get these, this packaging changed. you know how drugs have something called a drug facts and it has a label on the ingredients on the back. >> yes. >> they will have to do that even on things like a lip balm that has a sunscreen, and they say it is a lot of text to get into relatively small packages and it is going to be difficult to do. again, people have challenged that, and, you know, who knows what will result. >> and so until december? >> until december when these labels changed, you can be an empowered sunscreen purchaser and keep all of the things in mind, that you want a product that is uva and uvb that prot t protects against both of the rays. don't buy one that is one or the other, and it does not make sense. protect against everything. look for spf of 30 or higher. and 30 is perfectly fine, but you don't want below 30, and also, do not spray children they have the spray. >> i saw that there is a spray
8:53 am
and then it says. >> rob: rub it in. then what is the point, get the lotion. >> they can breathe in the particles and you are better off using a lotion. >> good point. or just dress them from head to toe in a big hat and long sleeves. >> yes on the beach, what fun. >> and they will look like dorks, but that is whole other story. than you, elizabeth cohen. don't be just enlightened consumer, but a empowered patient, and check out elizabeth blog or of course buy her book. ♪ we all need it. to move. to keep warm. to keep us fed. to make clay piggies. but to keep doing these things in the future... at shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energies. that's why we're supplying natural gas to

well, golf has a new major champ making people forget about tiger woods and his flirting with the winning of the u.s. open. we now have webb simpson who pulled ahead late in san francisco and of course kissed the trophy and he watched from the clubhouse as the other contenderers couldn't measure up. it is the first major championship for the 26-year-old from north carolina and he talked to shane donahue about the pressure of being at the top of the leaderboard in just the
8:57 am
second u.s. open. >> it was nerve-racking and i could not feel my hands or legs, and the legs felt like 200 pounds each. the california crowds were great, but this week, they were especially great. i looked at my caddie on 14 and i asked him, are the crowds louder today, because it seems like we were hearing roars every few minutes, and it is so much fun to have played in an atmosphere like that and the 18 hole, and coming up to the clubhouse is the coolest finish i can imagine in golf. i expected it would not come this quickly winning three times in a short amount of time. i never put limits on what can happen with the game. you can get on runs out here and you seem to be just, the wins or the good play comes in bunches, so i want to take advantage of that, and one thing i always pride myself in is remembering how i got here and remembering what makes me tick as a golfer. >> well, something else that might make him tick is how about
8:58 am
being the underdog. his best finish this year before conquering the u.s. open was a fourth place finish more than a month ago, and his last two tournaments before the open, well he missed the cut both times. writer and broadcaster hayward hail broom said that sports don't build character, but reveal it. two brothers are putting that to the test as they compete for u.s. olympic trampoline team. only one will make it. here is carol costello. >> reporter: steven and jeffrey need to jump 30 feet in the air to qualify for the olympic games, but that is nothing compare t compared to the greatest challenge, beating each other. >> sometimes they fight, you know, during the training, so it is tough, because you have to separate them a little. but sometimes when they have rough days, they actually support each other a lot, which makes it easier. >> how about pike, back pike. >> and the champion tatiana trains them both, but steven knows that jeffrey is the one to
8:59 am

9:01 am
states. greece's pro bailout conservative party won, but barely. that has calmed some world economic fears, but now greece will get a governing body that will at least embrace a bailout. more on this story in ten minutes. folks celebrating in egypt, but the military's power grab there has left this country with no constitution, no parliament and possibly no power for the guy who actually wins the presidency. the muslim brotherhood's mohamed morsi says he will stand for democracy and women's rights, but his challenger ahmed shafik who was hosni mubarak's right-hand man has not conceded, and the official vote yet to be counted. and china became the third country ever to complete a manned space docking. the three-person crew including the country's first woman to go into space successfully docked.

9:03 am
we know that the most important thing is to be able to end the civil war erupting in syria. what they say today could make a big difference. what do we think is on the ta e table? >> you know, it could make a big difference and obviously, syria is really the sticky issue they are going to deal with. you know, suzanne, keep in mind that as the president meets with vladimire putin, this is all happening under the immediate backdrop of two russian warships heading to syria to the naval base, the only naval base that russia operates on the mediterranean coast. so that will sort of be top of mind. this is going to be a tough meet ing and i would say it is going to be awkward. we are expecting it to be tense, and russia, at the same time, even though there is a lot of snubs as you have mentioned between president obama and president putin, there is -- there really is a sense that russia is key when it comes to iran, and especially when it comes to syria, and so far russia has blocked some u.n.
9:04 am
action on both of those things. i don't think that we are expecting a breakthrough. it is an important meeting, but it is going to be a tough one and right now on syria, the u.s. and russia are worlds apart. the u.s. wants bashar al assad out of syria, and russia looking suspiciously at the u.s. looking at what happened in libya and of course in the wake of the death of moammar khadafy and suspicions of what could happen again with the u.s. involved. >> brianna, tell us about the russian ships again, and what is the purpose there? >> well, at this point, we are really trying to understand a little bit more about it, but there are these two russian warships, and it is sort of when you look at the timing of it, i think that is the concern among the u.s. officials. there is a russian naval base and a lot of people may not real realize this on the
9:05 am
mediterranean coast, so russia has a military interest in syria, which is one of the last really or the last middle east ally that it has, but you look at the timing of it, and as russia is backing up syria, and that is really the concern here. >> and brianna, real quickly here, if you can tell us about what is taking place in russia in moscow, and you have the talks dealing with iran and other world leaders to try to get them to curb the nuclear ambitions here. do we think that there is a chance, a stand that there is going to be some breakthrough in the discussions? it has been a very frustrating process and now you have obama and putin side by side and face to face today and do you think they can make any headway? >> i think that there is a process, but i would not say that there is going to be a breakthrough, because a lot of folks are looking at what iran is doing in the talks which include u.n. security council members and u.s. and russia and saying that iran is trying to keep the talks going, and kind of placate some of the parties involved, but that really, there's not going to be a breakthrough in terms of saying that they will suspend enrichment or suspend it at a
9:06 am
certain level and a lot of pressure on president obama and his and the u.s. really to kind of stop iran at that point, but i think that this is probably sort of one of the steps along the way in this process. >> all right. bria brianna, keep us posted on how that meeting goes between president obama and putin and we will have more in a little bit. in a matter of months new leaders have been elected all around the world. so greece, portugal and spain and italy all voting new governments hoping it will turn around the dire economic situation. last month france elected francois hollande to replace nicolas sarkozy, and now in 17 year years he is the first socialist president, and now yesterday his parliament won enough seats to form a majority and the main task like other countries is to get the finances in order. joining us from washington is hala gorani, and you have covered much of french politics and tell us why hollande is gaining so much popularity and
9:07 am
why is he in the forefront? >> well, a rejection of the previous government of nicolas sarkozy for one thing and you showed the map of europe. so many countries and those who have been suffering economically over the last several years have rejected the governments they blame for driving the economies of the country in the ground and elected a new president. francois hollande benefitted from this disconsent. you mentioned the parliaments in france, and they gave the socialist party a majority in the parliamentt which strengthen s the mandate of francois hollande and he said in the campaign, austerity is good, but growth is better. we cannot only tighten our belts. we need a growth component to the way we solve and address this economic problem, this budget crisis in the eurozone, suzanne. >> what is ma making him so different from the other european leaders? >> well, compared to angel la merkel for instance, she has a
9:08 am
leader who has promise d the french people that he is going to make sure that the jobs are going to be added and secure jobs like teachers for instance and going to preserve this french way of life or this european way of life and you can retire early and take more holiday and you don't have to work as many hours a week, and this is not in jeopardy. that is the message he was sending. that said, suzanne, the reality now is going to hit. these budgets are in deficit. they do need austerity measures and so how many of the promises will he have to break is the big question. >> and hala, you mentioned something of the european way of life and you hear about socialism in this country and it is hurled almost as an insult between president obama and mitt romney in this country, and how is socialism in france different? >> well, it is a central party in france, and they still embrace capitalism as the way of managing the e kconomy, and the
9:09 am
are differences between the socialists and the right winged parties. for instance in the tax rate areas who to tax, how much to tax but overall the differences between socialists and the right winged party such as the unp are not as big as americans would think. there are two centrists parties and the way of tackling the economic problems is not that much room for maneuver in a european country. >> thank you so much. good to see you, hala. this is what we are working for in the hour of newsroom international. a chain is only strong as the weakest lin, so what does it mean that greece is sticking with the currency? and later we will show you a side of pakistan that you have never seen, the fashion runways of islamabad. >> this is the way against war. it is not against drones, but it is the way to eradicate the war.

birthday today, and the the composer and best selling music of all time, and he will be performing in the olympics in london next month. happy birthday. let's get back to the big election in greece over the weekend. everyone was holding their breath to see who would win and how it would impact our finances here in the states. on one side the conservative party who wants to hang on to the financial bailout offered by the european partners even if it means greece going through deep painful cuts. the other was a left wing party who wanted a big renegotiation of the bailout and some said that could have led to greece pulling out of the common currency and the bailout for the party won, but barely. richard quest is live in athens. richard, great to see you. you and i have been talk about this for weeks leading up to this, and we have been talking about potential crisis here. i assume that we see that this is a crisis averted, right? not happening. >> no, think that you'you have o
9:14 am
leap across the fence early, suzanne. the immediate crisis has been averted and perhaps in a way that is familiar to yourselves that they have kicked the can down the road. what is happening at the moment, suzanne, is that the horse trading is under way between the political parties, although, we have a winner new democracy. to go into the government and have an absolute majority the leader of the party has to have a coalition partner, and all afternoon, they have been negotiating and trying to find out and trying to decide who that partner would be, and if they don't, suzanne, then he will probably have to go into some minority government on his own. >> does this mean that essentially greece will stick with the eurozone and they are not going to go do their own thing with a new currency, because that is the main concern of a major impact on europe and
9:15 am
the united states? >> well, i have no hesitation for the time being that is exactly what it means. the party who won is committed to the eurozone. by and large, the austerity, and it is a misnomer to think that they want it all. they want to tinker at the margins of the austerity plan, and that is where this whole thing could spectacularly fall apart in a few months from now. because once the government is rmto formed in the parliament, they will go to brussels and say, take the foot off of our throat, and give us breathing space and make it easier, because we cannot cope with the austerity that we have got. i think that europe will give them a little bit of breathing space, because they know it is so critical. but ultimately, and this is what is being lost in the detate at the moment, be under no illusion, suzanne, greece stays with austerity if this continues. there is going to be no suddenly off to the races and massive stimulus spending.
9:16 am
we are mere ly talking about drastic austerity or major austerity. >> and richard, what does this mean for -- i have to say, and ask, what it means for me or for us in the united states, our 401(k)s and the inves tments in the country, any impact at all, our portfolios? >> it does in the sense that the volatility that we have seen abates for just a while. but as long as greece has still got long-term problems with banks which translates to long-term problems for banks in spain and elsewhere, we are not out of the woods. we are not in crisis like we were maybe two weeks ago, but i think that certainly, we are still sort of to use the proverbial, we are in it up to here, all that has happened is that we have come down a little bit. >> all right. still here at this level. well, crisis averted as we have said before. richard, good to see you as always. the chaos in europe and the chaos in greece right now how it could effect everything from the

international" where we take you around the world in 60 minutes. right now in egypt where a power struggle is taking shape. on the one hand military generals tightening the grip on everything and we are talking about lawmaking and the national budget. on the other hand you have the muslim brotherhood announcing the hardline islamic candidate has won the presidential elections. nationwide, folks are waiting for the official vote count, and our ben wedeman is joining us from cairo. ben, first of all, obviously, people are tense there. they really want to get a sense of who is in charge, but explain to us whether or not the military is actually granting the power and the authority to whoever wins this election and is that person actually going to be in charge of the government? >> well, the real power in the country, there is no question about it, remains with the supreme council of the armed forces which take over from hosni mubarak on the 11th of february last year. in effect, what has happened is that you have a fourth estate
9:21 am
within the government, and that the military which is completely autonomous of the rest of the government. for instance, parliament was dissolved as we know last thursday, but parliament nor the president has any oversight over the military budget. the military decides all matters of promotions and what not within itself, so, yes, egypt may well, and it has not been officially declared, but may have mohamed morsi as the president, but he is a toothless president at best given the power that the military retains for itself. >> so in light of that, ben, in light of that fact, do people really believe that morsi is going to have any kind of power? do they believe it is a real election or this is simply an exercise? >> well, depends who you speak to. obviously the muslim brotherhood is very happy that it won the election, and we saw hundreds of
9:22 am
people in tahrir square from very early in the morning celebrating this victory, but in effect, it is a hollow victory. they have lost control of the people's assembly or the parliament which they had controlled 50% of the seats, and what they are left with is almost a symbolic position with very little power. some people are quite happy with that. the muslim brotherhood, its performance in parliament was not well reviewed by the ordinary egyptians, and what is interesting is that the muslim brotherhood won half as many votes in the first round of the presidential elections as it did in parliament, because of the parliamentary elections. >> ben, first of all, let me ask you about mohamed morsi, because this guy, he is a conservative iz law lslamist and he has talkt the role of islam as being the law of the land here, and now he wants to promote democracy and women's rights and do people
9:23 am
really believe that? do they believe that is what they are going to get from this guy? >> well, obviously the hard core supporters do, but many egyptians are highly skeptical, and what is interesting is that we attended one of the rallies before the first round of the presidential elections, and he was very much appealing to his base. even though he, himself, did not call for the implementation of shariah or islamic law, others on the stage did, and many of the people in the crowd said that was their top priority. when it came to the second round, and he had to broaden the appeal, he toned that down somewhat, but many people are simply not convinced. they feel that he is a hardliner within the muslim brotherhood which actually does have some liberals in it, but as far as he is concerned the feeling is that he is talking to for instance when he is interviewed on a western media channel, he tends to be far more liberal than when he is speaking to egyptians.
9:24 am
>> ben, talk about the implications of all of this, because in the past, morsi has called israeli leaders in his words "vampires and killerers" and this weekend you have a gunman who opens fire on israeli construction workers and leaving an israeli dead and the gunman dead as well, and it seems that this is going to have an impact on the relationship between egypt and israel. does it look like a real concern that it will deteriorate? >> well, as far as this incident where two gunmen infiltrated into israel from egyptian territory and killed one israeli construction worker, they were not egyptians, but palestinians, so let's not mix those up. but on the other hand in the past, yes, like many members of the muslim brotherhood, he has spoke anne hard-line when it comes to israel, but when the realities of power come face to face with the people, oftentimes, they change their opinion. now, they, mohamed morsi as well as other leaders of the muslim brotherhood have been speaking with american diplomats, and
9:25 am
visiting american officials, and have constantly tried to reassure them that egypt under a muslim brotherhood president will continue to respect for instance the camp david according between the israel and egypt if of course they say that israel does the same. suzanne. >> thank you, ben wedeman. good to see you. new immigration policy that allows hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants to stay in the united states is having an impact on hundreds of thousands of american families. we will have the reaction. they've been committed to putting clients first. helping generations through tough times. good times. never taking a bailout. there when you need them. helping millions of americans over the centuries. the strength of a global financial leader. the heart of a one-to-one relationship. together for your future. ♪

9:29 am
>> well, as soon as the announcement came out, the president of mexico thanked president obamak because he said it was courageous knowing he would be criticized. it is an important development for mexicans in the united states and why is that? well, if you look at the numbers and we are talking about the number of undocument and some say 10 or 11 million and between 6 or 7 of every 10 hispanics in the u.s. are either mexican or of mexican dissent and this is seen as a important development, and coming at a time when many were expecting an announcement. >> president obama and calderon have been working closely with the whole idea of immigration, and are mexicans split over the issue or by and large see something that is going to work in their favor? >> i'm pretty sure they see it as going to work in their favor. you have the between 800,000, and 1.4 million young people
9:30 am
under 30, and people who speak the language who many of them don't even speak spanish, so going back to mexico or one of ther countries in latin america where they come from would be a difficult proposition. now having them sintegrate into the american society with the knowledge they won't be deported for two years, but no expectation of a visa is a step, and all of the kids behind the dre dreamers' movement is a step and they are looking for something permanent and something that does not benefit only the students, but benefits the parents. >> all right. juan carlos lopez, thank you. rwanda's genocide in the 1990s took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. and now the village courts that prosecuted the accusers are officially closing marking the end of a terrible era. [ woman ] my husband, hank, was always fun. never took life too seriously... till our son was born. that day, he bought life insurance. now there's no way i could send our boy to college without it.
9:31 am
9:34 am
welcome back to "newsroom international" where we take you around the world in 60 minutes. genocide courts have finished the work and today the government officially closed the village tribunals and they were overseeing the prosecutions of the 1994 slaughter of some 800,000 people. the village courts were set up to ease the burden on rwanda's legal system so that civilians who contributed to the attacks were sent to the village tribunals where leaders and m masterminds of the genocide were tried by national and international criminal courts. human rights group say that the tribunals fell short of international legal standards. the trials are over, but the scars are still there. can you imagine, living next door to somebody who kills your entire family? could you even forgive that person? that is exactly what the tribunals have asked many people in rwanda to do for the sake of peace. rwandans are struggling to forgive those who took part in the genocide. on a recent visit to rwanda i sat down face the face with a
9:35 am
killer seeking forgiveness. >> reporter: these two grew up together as children and they lived and played together in the same neighborhood, but 18 years ago, something horrible happened between them, fredrick hunted down and killed lawrence's family. what specifically happened? what did he do? >> translator: this group, they killed seven people. >> they killed them using the mache machetes. >> they cut them to pieces and took off their heads. >> reporter: fred vick a hutu and a member of the ethnic group in rwanda who in 1994 killed more than 800,000 in just 100 days. lawrence is a tutsi, a member of the ethnic group targeted. in the genocide ten of her family members were murdered including her parents and brother.
9:36 am
thought about her brother, she just pray to god that she meet him one day in heaven. >> reporter: how did this happen? neighbor turning against neighbor? fredrick says he was brainwashed by the government to hate the tutsis. >> when he was doing this, what was he thinking? what was he feeling about this? >> translator: he had no feelings at the moment, just the devil in his heart. >> reporter: and he also killed women and children as well? >> yes. >> reporter: fredrick served nine years in prison for the murders and after the release he agreed to participate in a program the reconcile with the victims' families starting with lawrence. >> translator: he approached them and told them that he betrayed them and he told them that he is the one who killed their family. >> translator: she fainted. she could not believe it.
9:37 am
she could not talk to him. she said like she is talking to the devil. >> reporter: we found fredrick and lawrence living in a reconciliation village. it is a community of 53 homes that killers and their victims' families build together. the exercise is aimed at helping rwandans move beyond the tragic past and leave the ethnic divisions behind and forgive. why should the family forgive him? >> translator: he repented and he realized that what he did was bad and he asked god for forgiveness. he is not expecting forgiveness but a miracle people forgave him. >> reporter: after three months of working together building their homes, lawrence says she did forgive. when you think about the prother and t -- brother and the way he was killed, would you want your
9:38 am
brother to believe you should forgive? >> translator: this is the power of god. >> reporter: but is this a really lasting peace? is the hatred really gone? do you ever see the faces of the people that he killed? do they haunt him? >> translator: he is thinking about the kids that they killed. at the moment they could be brilliant kids, and they could be ahead in developing the country. >> reporter: would you ever kill again? >> translator: he would not go back gagain to killing. >> reporter: do you ever think about seeking revenge. >> translator: she never thought about that, because she saw how people died and blood all over those who put gunshots and those who put the ma shchete, and she never thought about killing
9:39 am
somebody else. >> our james clancy and producer are being recognized in rwanda for the 1995 cnn documentary "rwanda, cry justice" which is set out to prove that the genocide was preplanned and deliberate. michael holmess jo s joined the atrocities as well and joins us here. it is unbelievable when you think of the things that you saw. >> oh, yes. >> and first of all doing this story of reconciliation, and is that what the courts were meant to do? tell us what they were to accomplish? >> it is great that you are covering this, because as you novi covered wars from iraq to afghanistan and all over the world and i have never seen anything like i saw in rwanda in 1994, and i will never forget it. it is 800,000 or a million people whoever's figure you want the believe who were butchered while the world stood back and did absolutely nothing. there was a war tribunal set up about 15 years ago and the
9:40 am
locals on the ground say it did nothing as well. there were 38 people convicted in 15 years, and 2 million people accused of atrocities in the genocide. so what happened is they set up the organizations that is a village tribal setup and appoint somebody as the judge and the accuser and the victim would meet together, face-to-face, and it was all about reconciliation. and then that tribunal, it would have the ability to send someone to jail or punish them in some other way, be it community service or other sorts of ways. now, they went through -- and you have to remember that waiting for the system to work, 10,000 people died in jail. waiting to go to trial under the old system. so, what they did was they went through tens of thousand os fr people doing it this way. >> and were they actually able to reinforce or even enforce this idea that people could live together side by side and those
9:41 am
who had killed and those who were the victims? how does that work? because i find that extraordinary they people can forgive and live together. >> well, it is a mix. no, wit was not p perfect and the system had the critics, too, often the people meting out the justice were not leel ly train and those accused did not have legal advice. it was a grass roots system and done at the village level. some people said, yes, some measure of reconciliation, and some of the killers are living in the communities alongside those who were victims or original targets, and it had the critics, too, that allegations of corruption and money was paid and some witnesses were killed before the tribunal got to hear the evidence. all sorts of criticism, but for rwandans and those who supported the tribal system, it was better than nothing and certainly better than waiting for the world to do what they didn't do during the genocide which is to do something. >> and why are they getting rid of it now? is this a process they no longer
9:42 am
need? do they feel that they essentially have everything in place and gotten the people responsible? >> well, they worked through what they can work through. and the reason it was so slow also going through the rwandan justice system is that the genocide killed the judges and the lawyers and so the whole judicial system was ruined. so have they gotten everyone, no. the main perpetrators and the brains behind the genocide fled the country and they went to other countries in africa, and europe and some to the united states. some of the people have not been dealt with by any justice system, and that sticks in the throat of a lot of people in rwanda. and look, those of us who covered that story at the time were furious at the time. i remember being as a journalist there, and i was there with jim clancy at the time, and i didn't know him at the time and being furious that nobody was doing anything about this, because the world was too gutless in my view to call it is a genocide. because once you have called it a genocide, then under the heading international, you have to do something, and nobody did
9:43 am
anything and 800,000 people died. >> that is amazing, because you recently being there in the last couple of months, people still want to prove to you it was a genocide, and surprising that they still want to show you the skulls and show you the burials, because they still believe that people were not convinced that it actually took place. michael, thank you. >> and suzanne, i hope i never cover anything like that again. it was awful. >> thank you. more photos around the world that actually caught our attention up next. ence happens. ♪ when skin meets goddess, anything can happen. introducing venus & olay, a match made in skin heaven. olay moisture bars release skin conditioners to help lock in moisture and boost your shave. while five blades get venus close. revealing smooth. renewing beauty. and goddess skin begins. only from venus & olay.

boybands rolled up into one, and the cowboy boots. everything seemed to be going swimmingly until -- what's going on? power cut. >> power cut. all right. let's bring in the correspondent who joins us from london. first of all the power outage and this is unusual and it is an underground movement here and do you think that somebody was trying to sabotage this fashion show that was trying to take place? >> no, it would be unfounded for me to speculate about it being sabota sabotage. i genuinely, pakistan and islamabad is plagued with power problems and the hotel had a good backup generator, but no amount of money can buy you power all of the way through the fashion week anyway, but it added to the atmosphere. >> no conspiracy there. okay. let me go in a different direction there. why is this important? why is this catching on in pakistan and what does it mean? >> well, in pakistan, there is,
