10:02 am
but barely. i want to bring in richard quest who is live in athens and christine romans from new york. and richard, i want to start out with you. you and i have been talking about that for weeks the potential crisis in greece and potentially spread to the rest of europe, and what happened? >> well, what happened is that the greek electorate decided to go in many ways with the safer option with the party that wants to sort of renegotiate part of the agreement, but doesn't want to completely toss it over to wall. that means thathey are now involved in the most detailed horse trading, trying to build a coalition with other parties here in greece who got less number of seats and ultimately working out who would do what and how they would go to the europeans and frankly, suzanne, say, we need more relief, we need to have some more time to pay, we cannot keep to the austerity that we have had so far.
10:03 am
>> so, richard, what is next? how do they actually form the coalition government? is that likely to happen soon? >> yes, it has got to. the president of greece says it has to happen within hours if not days. the leaders of the parties have all said that greece has to have a government. so, yes, the leader of new democracy is negotiating as we are speaking. he has already spoken to thepos said no, way, won't join in. he spoke to pasok who is thinking about it and another party, a id would ex pekt in the next three to five hours to get a good indication of whether there is a making of the deal or whether he goes it alone in a minority government. >> okay. i want the bring in christine and talk about how this is impacting us at home. first of all, christine, how is the market looking? how is the market reacting?
10:04 am
>> well, the stocks are down in this country and that is no surprise, really, because while the election is over, the uncertainty is not over, for all of the reasons that richard quest so eloquently laid out. you have to build the coalition, and meet the deadlines and bond payments coming up later in the summer, an greece has a lot to prove. i have said that it is like greece is still standing on the edge of the cliff, and they didn't step over tcliff, but thy are standing there. it is a risk for the u.s. and the big risk here is that greece has an affect on europe and spain and italy and that is our biggest trading party, right, the eurozone. that could be a problem for the united states if things don't go well or at least correctly in europe from here on out. that would be bad for us, and our 401(k) and the jobs and the export sector and the whole bit. >> how does that work, christine? i mean, can it potentially affect our 401(k)s and should we check the portfolios? >> well, i say that you should check your portfolio
10:05 am
periodically anyway and if you are trying to figure out the log-in because of a greek election, you have to sit down to think about the priorities a little bit. but the real worry is if the greece crisis spreads and there could be a credit freeze in europe and stock plunge in this country and big movements in currencies and the euro sinks versus the u.s. dollar and all of this could have an affect on the u.s. exporters and ken rogueoff says that the u.s. recovery is fragile. we are in a fragile position 3 1/2 years after a financial crisis and we cannot withstand a body blow from europe having trouble here. in terms of europe, you know, greece is the weakest link in the chain. but it is still in the chain. we still have an awful lot of work to do. this is the beginning of the story quite frankly and i know we have been talking about it a year, but it is still the beginning of the story. >> richard, i want to bring you back, what do the greeks think about being the weakest link in
10:06 am
the chain, are they confident moving forward or uncertain? >> they are just exhausted. they have had enough. unemployment here, youth unemployment at 50%. some would say it is higher. you talk to the taxi drivers, the waiters and talk to the business people, and everybody here is angry with the eurozone, and they are furious with germany. they feel wronged by the europeans. and they feel that they are getting a bad wrap. and the real point here to take away from the moment is however this plays out, the greek people have got years more austerity of one description or another, and many more years of hardship they are going to have to face. >> and christine, in this political time here, five months before the elections, obviously, the obama administration is trying to convince folks here that they know what is best for the economy, but a lot of it is out of their hands here when you look at what is taking place in europe. what can they do?
10:07 am
>> it is interesting, because you see the sniping on the campaign trail of who created how many jobs when and who created what regulations that is holding back the jobs, but quite frankly in europe, that is where the jobs story is coming from right now. you have a paralyzed congress, have two men in an election year patel he l battle here, and as ken rogueoff calls it a potential meteor coming right at us, so i don't know quite frankly how much more this administration can do other than watch what is happening, talk to european leaders, but this is, and i'm sure that richard will say it francois hollande and angela merkel, and the people who hold the keys to this are not in washington. >> and richard, what do they want president obama to do? >> well, there is not a lot that he can do is the short, honest truth of it. when the president spoke just last week at a press conference on a friday afternoon, he was basically telling the europeans to get a finger out and get on
10:08 am
with it, and the australians and the europeans have said the same, as they dither and make promises, but nothing happens. christine has put her finger perfectly on it, they are simply not. they have the bully pulpit and they can exhort and exhale, but ultimately little that the americans can do. it is a european problem with a european solution that is going to take place here in europe. >> although, it will have some real political implications for who becomes our next president. richard, thank you very much, as always. christine romans as well. here is what we are working on for this hour. eight young men took to the stand saying they were molested by jerry sandusky, and today the defense tries to save him. a cdc lab that experiments with deadly anthrax and sars is having problems with ventilation, and it caught one group of visitors off guard. and why a third of the most

getting this word just in, president obama now sitting down and meeting with russia's president vladimire putin that is taking place. this is a sidebar discussion and one-on-one between the two leaders at the g-20 summit taking place in mexico. it is a summit full of world leaders talking about economics as well as some of the hot spots, political hot spots throughout the world, but this is a critical meeting between the two leaders obviously talking about russia's role when it comes to syria, and also going to be discussing disagreements over the case of iran. as soon as we get that tape, we will turn it for you and bring it to you, the discussions taking place between president obama and russia's leader. prosecution has rested its case in the jerry sandusky child sex abuse trial. the defense has started to present its side. susan candiotti is covering the case for us and this is moving quickly. the defense has already called three witnesses to testify for
10:13 am
san ddusky and including a form penn state football coach. >> yes, a couple of them as a matter of fact. right out of the gate, the testimony came from two coaches who took the stand to say matter of factually who said that they, too, have showered with young boys at penn state showers. well, after that happened, the prosecutors try to blunt that testimony by saying that and did you ever pick them up and hug them? they said no. now, there was an audible gasp in the courtroom when one of the two retired coaches said that he also had been to a couple of them had been to the ymca and have showered in a public shower there and not private, with other children. and he also stated that he had once showered with his granddaughter at the ymca shower. that is when there was a gasp.
10:14 am
>> who did the gasp come from? what was the reaction in the courtroom? >> that was spectators in the courtroom, because that was not what they were expecting to hear certainly. we are not getting any immediate reaction from the jurors, so we are left to wonder what they think about this, but clear ly the defense is trying to prove, suzanne, that it is is common practice or not at all unusual in the penn state athletic shower rooms to be showering with young boys. >> do you have a sense of who is actually attending, because this has created a lot of curiosity among the community and the outrage as well. >> well, you know, we haven't taken and not a poll taken, so it is hard to gauge, but there are members and seats reserved for members of the public here, and so anyone can listen. i know that during certain aspects of this case, we have heard and seen people visually reacting and turning to the people behind them, and with their eyes wide open particularly last week during some of the riveting testimony
10:15 am
from the alleged victims in the case. and remember that more than half of the members of the jury have a direct or indirect connection to penn state. >> and susan, it is from what i understand that the jurors heard from one more prosecution witness this morning? >> yes, and we didn't know it but it is a powerfulful one, the mother of victim number nine. what stuck out about her testimony is that while her son was spending two the three weekends a month with jerry sandusky, she could not figure out and wondered why he would often come home without his underwear and wondered why jerry sandusky did not replace it, and the reason this is significant is that during that boy's testimony on the stand, he testified he was asked about whether he ever bled during sexual assaults, and how he handled that bleeding.
10:16 am
and he testified that he handled it in his own way. so, the implication is did he get rid of the underwear? >> wow. that is disturbing. susan, thank you so much, and appreciate it. obviously, a lot of people and testimony taking place there and we will see how it develops. thank you, susan. israel's president says that time is running out for iran. here what shimon peres told cnn. the medicare debate continues in washington... ...more talk on social security... ...but washington isn't talking to the american people.

10:19 am
time has run out for iran, and that is the warning from israel's president, as six world p powerers met today with iranian negotiators in moscow. this is the third round of talks called after two previous rounds of discussion yielded little results. israel's president shimon peres is weighing in on an exclusive interview with our reporter elise la vin. it seems he has strong tough words here and how did he weigh in? >> that's right, suzanne. the president spoke to us on the eve of his annual conference looking at the challenges facing the world, and how to make a better world, and as the talks start in moscow, on iran, he said he thought that iran was playing for time, and that iran didn't think that the world was
10:20 am
serious enough about dealing with the nuclear program. let's take a listen to what he said. >> do you think that the military threat is credible enough? >> i think that i hope that the audience would understand. if the iranians understand that seriously, this is an option, maybe it is not needed. if they think that it is a bluff, then it may lead to war and for that reason the warning must be credible, and the information credible, and so the nonmilitary means indicating to the iranians that gentlemen, better you agree with a nonmilitary confrontation than look for the other options. >> reporter: how long do they have? >> how long? i think that time is out. because they continue to build a bomb.
10:21 am
it is not the policy, because they are continuing to do things that are contrary to the united nations resolutions, and to the laws of geneva and they say we will stop and maybe the west will have a problem, but they don't. they continue to enraich the uranium, and so you cannot continue to poke the woring thay are assuming only. >> reporter: so time is out? this is it? >> i think that time is beginning to be out, yes. >> i have to tell you that shim moan peres is one of the so-called doves here in israel and to hear him talk in real terms about a military option was striking. on this front, he said that president obama needs to show american leadership here. he said that an american needs to be quote the elder statesman on this issue and that the u.s.
10:22 am
cannot hand iran a nuclear iran the entire middle east and so looking for the u.s. to join them in making this credible threat with some military option credible. >> two things when i am listening to this, because it seems dramatic the language here, and first of all, did you read this as a threat against iran, and secondly when he says that time is running out. how much time is he talking about? >> well, he didn't say, and i mean, obviously, he said he didn't think that anything would come out of these talks right now, but i do think that the israeli government is starting to talk in very real terms about what is going to happen, what israel would be forced to do if these talks don't produce any progress. originally the international community signed up to five rounds, and israeli officials tell me that they don't believe that iran if you bargain in the middle east you give the final offer at the last minute, but when iran gives that final offer, it has to be something that the international community can buy on to, because israel
10:23 am
has said quite clearly it is not going to tolerate a nuclear iran, and so those words are strong and starting to prepare the groundwork for letting people know what is possible if iran does not make some kind of deal, whether it be at these talks or in the coming months. >> and turning the corner here, because obviously, you are look at the outcome of the presidential election in egypt. you have someone who is part of the muslim brotherhood here potentially, the one who will be in charge, and was that a concern for peres? >> yes. he spoke very strongly about that. first of all, he said that the muslim brotherhood doesn't have a plan. they have been preachers, and they have been praying for a long time. he said it is time to stop praying and start to think about how you are going to feed the egyptian people, and how you are going to provide jobs, and how you are going to provide security, suzanne. over the last couple of weeks and over this weekend, we saw some skirmishes on the border of egypt with rockets thrown from
10:24 am
egypt to israel. and today even gunfire between so-called what the israelis are calling terrorists that made their way across the border from egypt, and there was a gun fire between israeli military and these militants, and so since the fall of president mubarak, this is believed a lawless area and israel is concerned about terrorists getting a strong hold in the sinai on the border of israel, and so a real big concern for him in this interview and here in jerusalem. >> intense time, and elise labott, excellent interview, and thank you. and we will take you into a new sexy subculture that is defying the stereotypes in pakistan. and don't forget thaw t you can watch cnn on your computer while you are away from your tv at cnn.com/tv.

strains of the flu as well. all right. when you think of fashion week, you think of this, right? cities like madrid, paris and new york. probably not this. this is the southeastern asian country of pakistan. it is made for famous for drone strikes and terrorist hideouts than anything else, and where women cover up in things like burqas. but now you can find bare necks and plunging necklines and high hem lines. but hidden away in luxury hotel, there is a fashion screen that is starting to thrive. check out this video from vice.com, and online news and cultural source. ♪ the islamic government of pakistan is under shariah law. what played out before me in pakistan is far beneath the
10:30 am
standards. it would not be fair to judge this by western standards, because this is an industry catering to the wealthy elite and in a country where a majority of the women cover up, and having said that the boys looked like bad boy bands rolled into one, with the pants and the cowboy boots. everything seemed to be going swimmingly until -- what is going on? power cut. >> well, last hour we spoke with the vice correspondent charlet duboc who joins us from london. and the power outage is unusual and we know this is an underground movement, so do you believe that somebody was trying to sabotage the fashion show that was taking place? >> no. it would be unfounded for me to speculate about it being sabotaged. truly, pakistan and islamabad is plagued by power problems. while i was there the hotel had
10:31 am
a good backup generator, but no amount of money can buy you power all of the way through the fashion week unfortunately, but it added to the atmosphere. >> okay. okay. no conspiracy there. okay. i will go in a different direction there. tell us why this is actually important and why this is catching on in pakistan and what does it sneen. >> well, in pakistan, there is, you know, a very wealthy elite that make up a very small portion of society. there's no middle class as we know it. a lot of the elite, the young girls were educated abroad, and behind closed doors they want to wear jeans and vests and, you know, they are interested in the western fashion. >> do they think of themselves, these fashionistas as revolutionaries in some ways to change the society in some ways through the underground culture? >> well, you know what, i when i spoke to the fashion students, they were so much more inspired than so many fashion students that i have spoken to in london, new york. they really, it is a real outlet for them and a real way of
10:32 am
expressing themselves in a country where individuality is suppressed and where you know, life is tough. you can't go out -- and to do what boys and girls want to do everyday, you have to work ways around it, so with fashion, it is kind of the same thing. >> and my last question here, is there a backlash to all of this? do they get a pass because they are the rich and the elite or folks in the pakistani government actually coming down hard on them? >> well, that is the thing, you know. i think that anywhere in the world, you know, in developing countries especially, money can buy you a certain amount of privilege and you can create western bubble for yourself where you can live out life the way you want to. but then i think that in an example with the edit when we made this report, we had to cut so many things out, because no amount of money can buy you out of the complications in pakistani society. there were things that we quoted people saying, and they called us literally crying down the phone saying that we had, we would have their blood on our

10:37 am
ways a lanslide victory for him over john mccain, but romney is trying to go to the states to talk about his economic plan. we have seen along the way, he has received some hecklers and some organized protests from the national democratics here in washington, d.c., but in many ways, that would just say that it has been a success, because he is drawing the attention of the national democrats who are trying to do their best to derail this bus tour. but just a couple of hours ago, he had about 900 people in wisconsin, and we are learning that this is from our own rachel stritfeld who is with him on the road, but a couple hundred people with mitt romney, and scott walker the governor who just survived a recall and paul ryans who oversees the budget process for the republicans here, and also the rnc chairman reince priebus, suzanne. well, i would like to know about the comments that he made in regard to president obama's immigration policy and this is something following him as a
10:38 am
candidate. this is how he responded to it on "face the nation." listen to this. >> i u mean, first of all, we have to secure the border. we have need an employment verification system to make sure that those working here in the country are here legally, and then with regard to the kids brought in by their parents through no fault of their own, there has to be a long-term solution to know what their s t status. >> mark, how are they handling this, because obviously a lot of questi questions in terms of whether or not he would overturn or if he agrees or disagrees with the president's approach to allow at least some of the illegal immigrants who are young and who are aspiring to stay in the country and avoid being deported? >> gingerly. you know, suzanne, they are not addressing it head on and did not answer the question directly by bob schieffer in that interview on cbs that aired sunday. mitt romney is in a quandary at some point because if you consider back to the presidential primary, he took a hard-line on the immigration matter and tried to distinguish
10:39 am
himself from others such as the texas governor rick perry, but however, he is now in a general election and there is some thought at least in the republican corner that, you know, mitt romney is not going to win over the latino vote, the hispanic vote in the 2012 election, but if he can chip away at it, that is is part of the equation for him to beat obama in november. now, he didn't say anything necessarily specific other than he would talk about a long-term solution. he certainly did not say whether he would repeal it or not, suzanne. >> and this is going to be a big latino convention happening later in the week in orlando a wlend be there to cover it, and do you believe he is going to be forced to at least alter his position or be a little bit more forthright in terms of what he believes? >> well, i believe the latter. in some ways what we with might see from the romney campaign is to try to tee up, and perhaps putting a better point on the whole subject when they are down at this conference down in florida this week. not only mitt romney is going to be speaking at the conference,
10:40 am
but so is president obama and that shows you how important it is going to be when we roll into thursday and friday and of course, you will be there broadcasting it, and right now, as we are focusing on the november election, this is the week of the hispanic voter, suzanne. >> okay. good to see you, mark preston. you might think that children from rich families have it made, but a new report says not necessarily. our skin. only aveeno positively radiant has total soy, for a whole new level of radiance. it's clinically proven to visibly reduce blotchiness, brown spots, and other past damage, while broad spectrum spf 30 helps prevent future damage. healthier, more radiant skin. it's in your future now.

smaller than that and what about the children with the developing brain tissue and is that okay for them to be spending time with the cell phone right to their head? so, luckily, i while we wait for the fcc to do a very easy step for your own health, use a headset. it can be this kind of headset, it can be a bluetooth headset. the riduation that comes out of your phone dissipates easily. held here, some people think there is a possibility it could do something to you. just wear your headsets. it's that simple. >> wear the headset. >> wear the headset. >> you had a story where people were sleeping with their cell phones because it is your alarm too. sometimes people have it next to their heads while sleeping. probably not a good idea. >> night table. how hard is that? just put it on the night table. it doesn't take much. just put it that far away and
10:51 am
the radiation goes out into the air. it's not going to reach your head. holding it to your head, rays are going into your head. some studies say they are. the world health organization said that cell phones are a possible carcinogen to humans. ww.h.o. set out what they think. scientists go back and forth. >> thank you. some struggling families here in the united states are no, s forced to decide between buying food or diapers. we'll show you how one woman is helping. before copd...
10:53 am
i took my son fishing every year. we had a great spot, not easy to find, but worth it. but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps significantly improve my lung function starting within five minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort, today i'm breathing better.
10:54 am
and that means...fish on! symbicort is for copd including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. with copd, i thought i'd miss our family tradition. now symbicort significantly improves my lung function, starting within 5 minutes. and that makes a difference in my breathing. today, we're ready for whatever swims our way. ask your doctor about symbicort. i got my first prescription free. call or click to learn more.

10:56 am
her baby dry and clean is not so simple. >> before i had my daughter, i didn't know how many pampers i would use in day and in a week and in a month's time. it's a lot. >> reporter: an average of eight diapers a day, about 240 diapers a month at a cost of more than $100. she can't afford enough diapers for her baby. you can't get diapers through the food stamp program. it's considered a hygiene item. often the only alternative, reusing diapers. >> i'm the founder. >> reporter: boxes and boxes of donated diapers. >> you got them? >> yes. >> reporter: being delivered to a neighborhood community center. >> diapers are a necessity for infants. they're not a luxury. you have a mom who wants to work and trying to work, doesn't have enough diapers to send her child today care has to stay home with that baby. >> reporter: she became a mom
10:57 am
for the first time in 2009. the first months were rough. >> one night i was up with him all night. i thought how do you do this if you don't have someone you can call? after we got out that first hazy six months of having an infant. we said what ke with do to help families. what can we do to help other moms? i said i can give time and money. i was blown away when they said diapers. it hasn't occurred to me. it's an idea that's been catching on nationwide. >> reporter: she helped launch the diaper bank network. each box contains 50 diapers. it distributed 2600 boxes in the last year. that's more than 130 diapers. they are donated. >> you're welcome. >> reporter: from individuals and corporations. >> she got five. >> parents learn this is a need, they want to help.

10:59 am
they don't have really good options. if they can't afford it or don't have access to a diaper bank that in sometimes they have to reuse it or have to leave the baby in that diaper longer. any mom knows that's really, really difficult on baby to stay in a wet diaper. >> really does. stuck in a tough spot. >> how can we help? >> there are other diapers banks across the country. it started in arizona and took off in connecticut. now you have in various cities, you have these different kinds of diaper banks that operation much like the way a food bank. they have all gotten together and there's a national diaper bank network. there's a website. a great website. you can find all kinds of information at diaperbanknetwork.org. you can find out how if you want to run a diaper drive.

11:01 am
enterprise institute in washington. keep in mind, the backdrop, the leaders of the u.s. and russia are talking what the world economy. they are discussing syria as well. it has outraged the world. the u.s. wants assad out but he's a key russian ally. it's happening in mexico. dan, let me ask you at this meeting, we don't know much about it. hopefully you can shed light here. what can you tell us about this meeting? >> reporter: that's right. i wish i was inside that meeting. we're still waiting to get a read out of that meeting. certainly, syria, we expect will be a big focus because the united states has been putting
11:02 am
pressure on russia to come on board with other countries to put the pressure on syria's president to step aside. so far as you pointed out russia being an ally of syria has refused to take that stand. in fact t twice now has vetoed u.n. resolutions of sanctions on syria. the hope of the u.s. administration is that russia will join in this effort of pushing syria to a peaceful transition somewhat like what we saw in yemen where the leader steps aside and the reforms to democracy begin. it doesn't appear that russia is willing to do that. >> do we anticipate that russia will be the pervasive topic through this two-day meeting? >> reporter: well, certainly in discussions with president obama and president putin.
11:03 am
that's a key issue. the real focus is the euro zone crisis. a lot of concern about what that will mean not only to the u.s. economy but the global economy. the fear it will drag not only these leading nations but also developing countries down as well and for the u.s. economy, the concern that it could impact u.s. goods being sold in europe, which europe being the u.s.'s number one trading partner. that really is the big focus here but syria still an important issue as well. >> thank you so much. all of this comes here as we mention at the top of the show, we're learning about the russian trip that has weapons. first, talk to me about what we know about this ship. what, maybe who is on board? >> the ship's registered to a company based in moscow. it left st. petersburg back at the beginning of june.
11:04 am
it entered north and sort of turned around. >> sort of turned around. >> it's strange. the last position was 40 miles off the north scottish co headed off into the atlantic. it's about 10,000 tons and a general freighter. >> i understand the ship has turned off its transrespondser. >> we can't be sure. it could be it's out of range or just turned off on transponder. it's probably just out of range of the available tracking systems. >> as you point out sort of the out trajectory. what about the registry of the ship? it's been changing. >> it has been changing. it's registered in the netherland antilles. it's owned by a russian company what claimed a danish company
11:05 am
was managing it and they said no. the pentagon correspondent said u.s. officials believe, maybe three mi-25 helicopters on that ship. they would have been refurbi refurbished. >> what can we do about it? >> it's difficult. you're going to rely on intelligent sources that we don't have. what can we do about it? very little. there's no u.n. security council, military sanctions on the export of arms. that's because russia has repeatedly blocked them because syria is a big client of russia
11:06 am
for military equipment. they said no. they blocked any movement towards forbidding arm ship to syria. >> as we watch this ship and its curious trajectory potentially carrying weapons, there's also a military russian ship headed toward syria. >> we believe there's two. it's probable that if the russians are worried about the security of their installation dh is the only overseas port they've got now, they want to make sure it's secure. it may well be they are deploying a small number of troops to that area to make sure the base is secure. >> thank you. i'm going to take you here now into the deep into the vortex of likelihoo

likelihoods. it's less likely today that volatile greece will strap the euro. perhaps the common currency won't go the way. take a look at this. this is u.s. trade with europe. do you see that large number? that's $3.6 billion a day. that's a huge cash cow and any threat to the euro would have threatened that particular trade. not to mention as we look at the new york stock exchange, these are more numbers we want to share because a hint of a threat would have sent our markets reeling today. you can see the dow is down a smidge. crisis averted from now. john, i want to, let me walk this back. the greeks got themselves into this debt crisis. we're talking a decade or more of economic pain. you had the greeks revolting saying their leaders had
11:08 am
knuckled under, saying they wanted out of euro and the greeks have voted over the weekend. the message they sent is what? >> reporter: well, the message is they need to stay in the euro. it's accurate what's at stake here. the greeks were in this titanic and headed to the iceberg crashing out of the euro. they got very close to the edge and almost crashed in. they realized it would create more chaos and bring the wealth doung. they are helping they can put a

11:10 am
back in 2008. my questto you then is how big of a role does that possibly scenario play out as this conserve tiff party that finish first in t election over the weekend looks to then looks to a partner to form government. they're trying to get that done dmt next 72 hours. to be specific, europe is a broader market of 550 million consumers. a quarter of u.s. exports go to europe. you do have that banking exposure to the u.s. right now in the front line, if they have troubles it spills into the global markets. i had the global financial crisis, everybody was willing to accept up and provide liquidity.
11:11 am
this is a huge market. if the euro zone continues to unravel, they'll need to do so now. they've been rather complacent about it. it's not providing a solution. greece has a problem. if this goes into spain and italy, we're looking at economies of $4 trillion in spain. it's a much, much bigger scale. >> it's huge. you bring up the liquidity and should washington at all help. i'm going to save that for next hour. we appreciate you and your reporting. a lot more news coming into us here. watch. two weeks ago he walked the stage at his graduation and today he is gone. shot to death and as police are looking for his killer, there's now word this young man was

a group of catholic nuns are taking aim at the current house republican budget plan and its author, paul ryan. they are on this two-week bus tour to protest the plan saying it hurts the poor and the vulnerable. this nuns on the bus tour comes after we're hearing about this rogue nun. let me bring in cnn senior vatican analyst john allen
11:28 am
joining me now. question number one, why does it seem with all these different stories that the american catholic women are at odds with the vatican, why? >> reporter: i've put that very question to the vatican senior official who is an american in an exclusive interview i had with him this week. i said why are you picking on nuns, and he said we're not. they would argue these are not connected. they are independent issues and there's no vatican campaign to bring the nuns in line. they can't avoid drawing the conclusion there's a tension here, at least, between where many american nuns are and where the vatican seems to be. >> it seems to be a tension even thoep they say they are not
11:29 am
picking on nuns. how does the vatican view the american catholic church? it's changed over the years. >> reporter: it has. even as recently as 15 years ago when i started this, the mainstream culture had a negative take on the united states generally. they saw it as a protestant culture. weren't sure if they could trust it. what's happened in the period is that with run away serk sec lark larism in europe, they pay more attention to the united states which has its positives and negatives. there are some nuns on a bus who can talk to you about the negatives. >> there are indeed nuns on a bus. we found some numbers.
11:30 am
roman catholics are the second largest group in the united states. it is seeing an exodus of members. they say one in ten is an ex-catholic. is the vatican worried at all about that? >> reporter: sure the vatican is worried any time they see people streaming out of the church, and it's true that the catholic church in the united states loses about four members for every one new member it gains. there still are about four million new catholics every year. the catholic share of the american population is holding steady at around 25% despite the losses because they are also gaining huge numbers of new catholics in the form of immigrants from mexico and latin america. those immigrants have higher birthrates. the other foint vatican would make is maybe we're losing ground in europe and some parts of the united states but globally they would see things are growing like bank busters. the catholic church grew 27,000

11:35 am
about time magazine cover, the mom breast-feeding her 3-year-old son. you have an 18-month-old son. what's your approach to raising him? >> my approach is as best as possible without being a perfectioni isist attempting tol this first stage which is attachment. when is the segue time into this exploration time. i think the opportunity to trust that a child will wean themselves is not only something to be trusted but something that does require a lot of time and not everybody has that time. >> you're so right. it has become such a hot topic. let's call it a lot of noise, noise about mothering in the news. alicia silverstone was talking about chewing up food and a mama
11:36 am
bird to a baby bird feeding her own child and have talk about moms sleeping with their little ones and fear mom could roll over. should it really be up to each individual mom how to raise their own kid? >> ultimately, it is up to each family how to raise their children. i know that what bonds us all in this conversation is we all want to do what's best for our children and it begs the question what is best for each child. they'll know they exist. it's such a big part of that first stage, the touch, the skin on kin. the parents. the parental figures being constant. they can trust life and are connected. it's a great foundation. >> you seem like in such a different place. i was a fan from many years ago from jagged little pill and here
11:37 am
you are almost in this zen garden talking about being a mom. i have to talk about music. you have this new album coming out. it's called havoc and bright lights. what does that even mean. it talks about recovering from different kinds of addictions. so many of us are taught not to feel and when the attachment stage is throwed in, it makes for some addictive tendencies. we're craving that connection and warmth and love and tenderness. that's the hov ok part. bright lights is about the sense of spirit that threads throughout the whole record and my life and bright lights of fame being a celebrity in the white hot heat. >> we have this picture of you. i'm guessing it's your band and your little one here which is sort of like the alanis morrisette tour like 2.0. how do you balance it all?
11:38 am
>> being a mom is 100% and being a vocational artist is 100% and being a wife is 100% because i value commitment and the healing that comes from that. i'm offering 300% from a limited capacity. >> do you really have 300%? >> no, of course not. that means coffee is my best friend. i think the parenting aspect will dissipate when they are much older and i'll look back and have amnesia. >> new album is havoc and bright lights. it's so nice to see you. >> thank you. >> used to play her music a little too loud. moments of terror. a man help a driver escape a burning car. he runs off. we're going to speak with him live. a quick reminder, keep
