and it's also just not you, it may be a person in the home who has the gun legally. but if you fall into one of those three categories you talked about, that you have access to the gun. >> they've gotten a few thousand back as far as effectiveness goes. but you know what, judge? i worry what if they go to the door and knock on the door and pretend to be all friendly and get access and they're not home so literally relying on good will and luck. >> you are. and somebody knocks on the door or they look out the window or say i'm not opening the door, you're expending a lot of time doing this. so i don't get the part about there not being some way to access the court to get warrants to go in. but in a way you can't because it's the fact that they are now not eligible to have a gun, but
9:01 am
had they broken a law that gives you an access to get a warrant? i think it's a complicated situation. >> you are a perfect person to ask this because as a judge you're the person i come to as a law enforcement officer to ask for permission, to ask for a warrant. judge, i think i have probable cause, will you give me the warrant to go and get that gun? and it turns out in california, even in california that has this program, the disqualifying event like i'm a violent felon and the cross reference of the database of you being a registered gun owner isn't enough for probable cause? is that your fault, judge, or is that just the statute? >> well, i think the statute is problematic and i think they're going to have to go back and do some revisions if they want this to be effective. but really, ashleigh, technically if you are a convicted felon and you are not supposed to have the gun, even if you got it legally before this restriction, before you became a felon, then it's illegal for you to have that
9:02 am
gun. and i would argue under those circumstances that they would be justified in getting a warrant in those circumstances. >> i think we're going to hear a lot more about california's program. >> i think we are. >> judge glenda hatchett, for joining today. we are fully out of time. but "around the world" is next. welcome to "around the world." i'm suzanne malveaux in d.c. today. hey, michael, good to see you as always. >> good to see you, suz anne, looking lovely. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and also around the world. we want to begin in st. maarten. >> toilets are now backing up, overflowing, miserable conditions caused by electrical problems. but these passengers much luckier than triumph passengers
9:03 am
were. we're going to tell you why up ahead. president obama's on capitol hill for a third straight day trying to reach a deal with the republicans on the budget and the deficit. we're going to tell you who he's talking to today and if there's any real chance the two sides could reach a deal. this is baghdad. smoke rising over the skyline today. four explosions all went off about the same time. at least 18 people were killed. more than 50 others wounded. all the bombs went off near the fortified green zone that is in central baghdad. at least one of them was a suicide attack. no word yet on who is responsible. and it's his first full day on the job. if it isn't exciting enough, billions of people are watching his every move. >> that's right. the newly elected pope is saying mass actually this hour right now in the sistine chapel. he takes the helm of the roman catholic church during aty mu i
9:04 am
multichous times. infighting among the church hierarchy, it's a long list. >> but of course before he deals with all the problems, pope francis who is beginning his time at the vatican with prayers. he is celebrating with mass for cardinals who elected him. >> let's bring in john allen. miguel, let's begin with you. some people already expressing concerns about his health. not everybody knew this. >> yeah. well, it turns out that this was out there already but the vatican has confirmed he had a piece of his lung -- one of his lungs removed some years ago. there's not a huge level of concern being expressed by the vatican. he's lived with this condition for some time and his health seems to be fine. >> miguel, we know that the pope is known for his humility. this is what cardinal timothy dolan told us earlier. >> even though he's kind of shy and humble, as you've already
9:05 am
seen, he radiates an interior strength and energy. and it's already clear to me that he's got a great sense of the power simple. can i give you a couple -- when he came out after getting his white on, you know, so he comes out from that little dressing room and we all applaud again. he's supposed to go up these steps to a platform and sit on the white throne and we're supposed to come to him and kneel in front of him to give him our love and loyalty. so as the attendants took him, he said, no, i'm going to stay down here and greet each of my brothers. that's a powerful sign literally on our level. >> and, miguel, i understand he took the box as well. there are a lot of things very appealing about this pope. do we get a sense, however, because he is so traditional that there will be major reform within the church? >> yeah. i do not sense that there's going to be major changes. he does seem like a very humble guy. he seems like a guy with a very good sense of humor. i certainly got that sense from
9:06 am
him even in his massive outpouring last night in his first public appearance as pope. but this is not somebody is going to embrace gay marriage or adoption by gay parents or female priests even conception, that was an issue for him in argentina. so i don't think we're going to see major doctrinal changes like that out of this pope. although he will probably it seems at least from his first day in the position so far he's going to re-focus the position of the church at least on issues of the poor. >> yeah. and i want to bring in john allen. miguel, standby. we said this mass is underway and want to give people a sense of the flavor, the atmosphere. let's listen for a moment.
9:07 am
♪ miguel marquez and john allen standing by there in vatican city. i understand john's having trouble hearing us so i'll put this question to you, miguel. these days the pope really needs to be part saint and part mba to operate as a successful pontiff. he's very much a pastoral and not a bureaucrat. is it a sense he has the chops for reform? and just as importantly to battle the internal politics? >> yeah. i think, john, are you hearing that question? he's talking about the internal politics and does this pope -- >> does he have the steel and spine to pull it off. listen, michael, i will tell you that is the central question. i think there is no doubt that the 114 cardinals who elected pope francis wanted a reformer. they wanted someone who can get
9:08 am
his hands around the bureaucracy of the vatican and shake the place up. part of the reason -- part of his appeal was that he's an outsider to that environment. never worked in the vatican a day in his life. he has run a conquest institution in the archdiocese in argentina. they have taken someone who is an outsider to this environment who does not know where the bodies are buried and of course is 76 years old and they're hoping that that's going to be the guy who is going to bring a new broom in and sweep clean. i think it's going to remain to be seen how well that's going to play out. i will say that although we've only seen five minutes really of the pope and public last night, he is certainly off to a promising start particularly with the choice of his name, the name francis that in the catholic imagination in an instant, in a flash, summons images of a different kind of church, humbler, simpler and closer to the poor. that's the idea. if that becomes his program of
9:09 am
gove governance, we could be in for very interesting days ahead. >> he started off in a humble way as we said catching the bus instead of a papal vehicle and all the rest. john allen, vatican analyst, miguel marquez, thanks so much to the both of you. now to the caribbean island of st. maarten. this is where thousands of folks of carnival cruise ship passengers are watding to be flown back home. it was just a month after carnival's triumph ship lost power, stranding passengers in horrible conditions. the carnival dream cruise it also got stuck. the boat's emergency generator has failed preventing the boat from leaving port in st. maarten. passengers are going to be flown back to florida, but they have been on the boat now for hours. some pretty bad conditions. >> the bathrooms are not working. they're backing up. there's human waste all over the floor in some of the bathrooms. we spoke to somebody at the front desk and asked them if we
9:10 am
could just depart the ship and stay at a hotel and get our own transportation back home and they would not allow us to do that. >> we're at carnival cruise headquarters in miami. christina, flying them back to orlando, we hear there's worse places to be stuck than st. maarten. are they being allowed off the boat right now? >> reporter: well, they're not off the boat just yet. this has become -- this carnival dream cruise has become another nightmare for the cruise line. after you imagine what happened with the triumph barely a month ago, we're not quite sure how many passengers on the ship. they say they can carry as many as 5,000 passengers. but what we do know is that carnival released a statement regarding the transfer of passengers. they say that they're flying all passengers home on charter flights to florida. they're giving passengers a three-day refund. plus 50% off future cruises. also, they announced the
9:11 am
cancellation of the next scheduled cruise that was scheduled to leave this saturday from port canaveral. they too will receive 25% discount additionally to that cruise that they were supposed to take. now, that's the information that they're releasing right now although they do say the ship is fully operational. >> huh. can you tell us why it was they didn't allow the passengers off the boat after the generator first went down? we saw in the last go-round that at least for the other one, triumph, that they were on that ship for about a week or so. >> reporter: that's right, suz anne, they didn't allow any of the passengers to get off because they were on the last leg of the ship and they feared that some of the passengers might be left behind and therefore complicating matters to get them back here stateside. >> and of course no one forgets
9:12 am
those images just a month ago with that carnival triumph stuck. as suz anne said at sea for almost a week. you have to imagine it's all about perception in that industry, that's for sure. what kind of p.r. hit is the cruise line taking? >> reporter: well, this is certainly not boding well for the cruise line. they just announced as a matter of fact two days ago that they were going to do a complete revision overhaul of its 23 cruise ships. so obviously there is something happening there and they're trying to be proactive now in order to avoid something like this from happening again. >> all right. appreciate that. thanks so much for being with us and updating us on all this. what a story. i've got to say. >> michael, do you take cruises? >> no. i've never been on one. never. >> i've been on one and i'll never do it again. i'm not a big cruise person. >> i'm not in a hurry now.

9:17 am
surprisingly. the pope is going to meet with all the cardinals tomorrow and hold an audience with the media on saturday. should be interesting. in venezuela the government hit a snag in plans to embalm the late president hugo chavez. acting president nicolas maduro says it might not be possible at this point. scientists say the process should have started much earlier. chavez passed away last week after a two-year battle with cancer. and in china you'll remember this story. officials have found the source of the thousands of dead pigs dumped in a river that runs right through shanghai. a farm south of the city has admitted to dumping the carcass, about 6,000 of them pulled from the water this week. the local government says about 70,000 pigs actually died from poor raising techniques and also some bad weather earlier this year. but those carcasses were disposed of properly.

and police have busted a terrorist gang that uses children as young as 8 years old as bombers. >> this gang is a separatist group in the poorest part of pakistan a group fighting for self-rule for years now. we have a report on how the children are being used to carry out deadly attacks. >> now, police have told cnn that they discovered these young men in this raid some as young as 18 years old, none over 18. they were from low income poverty-stricken families and being paid to deliver these bombs to the ring leader's chosen targets. we don't know if they knew what they were doing, but the police chief told cnn that at least one of them has allegedly confessed to being behind the bombing in which 11 people were killed and at least 67 injured in january. and as far as we understand they were taking the packages to the
9:19 am
location. it had half an hour time device in which they can place it and leave the area. now, they are currently being questioned by police. the courts have given them six days to question them after which they'll be transferred to a juvenile ward of a jail awaiting trial. cnn, islamabad. >> police are saying the group used the kids there because of course as kids they rarely arouse suspicion. and it's not the first time children have been used to deliver bombs in pakistan. a top taliban leader used them back in 2009. a really disturbing story. >> just a shame when you think about that, michael. >> yeah. this is a very interesting story. this is a man who wrestles a shark and protecting these kids who are nearby, right? then he gets fired from his job. we're going to tell you why.

going to take you to australia now. the sunshine coast of queensland, warm weather, water, beaches, all that stuff and of course the occasional as we say in australia noah's ark or shark, we do say that. you see this shark runs into the water, grabs a six-footer and pulls it away from a bunch of kids. this is caught on camera. the video goes viral. and of course that's how heroes are made, right? amy laport is here. we do this. >> i know. exactly.
9:24 am
there we go. we are all steve irwin want-to-bes, right? >> i'm kidding. what's he doing? >> this is a good guy. i want to paint a picture of this guy. he's a charity worker backing whales. he is such a good guy that he has had charity awards, he's met prince charles, he works a lot, right? so he goes on this vacation to australia with his wife who also works for this charity. he is on the beach having a barbecue when someone yells out help, help, shark. immediately without thinking he sprints down to the water, shallow water, there are kids around, toddlers, so he decides to grab the tail of this six-foot shark, pushes it out. you can see there actually the shark is thriving and these things are strong. so it knocks him into the water. it's biting at his legs. he manages to fight it off. and it eventually goes out into open water. >> all right. amy, i got to weigh-in on this.
9:25 am
i've got to ask you. two aussies in the house here, why did this guy lose his job? >> here's where it gets really interesting. so he arrives back home and he arrives to a letter. and we actually have part of that letter here i want to read to you. so this is from his employer. while unfit to work you were well enough to travel to australia and according to recent news footage you allegedly grabbed a shark by the tail. we find the dismissal is the only course of action we can recommend. of course, so what actually happened there was a news crew on the shore. and they captured the whole thing on video, ran it on their nightly bulletin. the national news picked it up. it went viral as these things do. he's hailed a hero internationally. and of course it gets back to his small village in wales. >> but the twist is he was on sick leave not for a pulled
9:26 am
hamstring, he was on sick leave for stress. >> that's what it comes down to. >> okay. >> he loves his job because he took this vacation because he was stressed. >> right. >> and i guess it raises the issue that his daughter had told him, you're stressed mate, go on a holiday. so if you've got an infection, you get antibiotics, right? you have work-related stress. you go on a holiday. and i actually went onto twitter and i saw overwhelmingly people are going to be in support of this so-called shark man. not so much. actually, it's bleeped. there are a lot of people saying he cheated the system. if you are too unwell to work, then you are too unwell to wrestle a shark. >> an ongoing debate about this, suzanne. >> oh, come on. >> it's happening in england. there's talk that they're going to negotiate and blah blah blah, but at the moment, no, he is fired. but, yeah, if it happened to

9:33 am
think it will probably be a different tone than what we saw from his meeting yesterday with house republicans where it was by all accounts pretty intense -- intense, particularly on the number one issue in front of this country and in front of these politicians here which is the economy. probably be a little bit different. the president has more of a relationship not just because of his dinner last week but because he was a member of the senate as well. so likely a different tone. >> yeah. dana, i know it's hard to say before the meetings actually take place, but i'm curious on your take on this so-called charm offensive this past week or so. is it making a difference? these are pretty hard-nosed politicians set in their ways. what do you think? >> they are hard-nosed politicians set in their ways. as i said, a meeting or a dinner or a lunch is not going to change the fundamental very real philosophical differences that divide them, particularly on economic issues. it's not going to change the fact that the president wants to
9:34 am
deal with deficit reduction by raising taxes and cutting spending and the republicans don't want to even talk about raising taxes. however, one of the things that has been kind of the hallmark of criticism of the president from democrats and republicans here on capitol hill for a long time is that he doesn't reach out, he doesn't have a relationship. and you can't do anything really fundamental without having a relationship. so when it comes to that, there's no question. it couldn't have hurt, it had to have helped. >> all right. dana good to see you. dana bash there. >> you too. all right. new york's cardinal timothy dol dolan, he's had a lot to say about the new pope. we'll tell you what he thinks the pope can change in the church. he's got a big job ahead. univers rough economic times have led to an increase in clinical depression. drug and alcohol abuse is up. and those dealing with grief don't have access to the professional help ey nee en you s thesss, doyou want tw? wi d the field of counseling or psychology from

check it out. you're looking at live pictures from the sistine chapel. pope francis is celebrating mass for the first time as head of the catholic church. >> yeah. and today we actually learned some really interesting details about the new pope. he had the option of going in a chauffeured driven papal vehicle, but he wanted to get on the bus with all the other cardinals. he actually did that. and also it's tradition that the new pope would sit on a throne to accept oaths and loyalty from the cardinals after being elected, but he said no and stood on the same level as the cardinals. so getting into that st. francis humble thing again.
9:39 am
>> yeah, sure. seems very much like a down-to-earth kind of guy. in an interview he had with our chris cuomo, cardinal timothy dolan of new york say the changes that come with the pope probably are not going to include church doctrine. >> what do you think pope francis can do that will give a sense of renewal for the catholic church? >> you got it, chris. because the catholic church is ever-ancient, ever-new. it's a beautiful blend. sometimes we look to our church as a grandmother. sometimes we look to her as a young bride. so there's got to be that combination of things immutable and things that are timely. he'll do it well. all we can do is look at his track record, okay? and amazingly simple sincere transparent man, a man who deeply loves the poor, a man who is theologically well-grounded in the timeless doctrine of the church, okay. and a man who knows how to govern. now, we're going to begin to see
9:40 am
those kind of things. i think there may be a touch of simplicity, sincerity, openness. i think he's going to tend to the roman central government of the church universal. which we all said you've been reporting it well probably needs some tending to, right? what government doesn't? as we look to d.c., we americans are saying there need to be some changes there. i think we'll see that stuff. >> you think that's the prospect for him as a reformer more than on the social liberal agenda of what's he going to do about women, what will he do about celibacy, what will le do about gay marriage? do you think he'll move the church on any of those? >> no. i don't think he'll do that. he can't, as you know, he can't really tamper with what's called the depositive faith which he inherits and to pass on faithfully to the next generation. so he can't change any of the substance, the given, but boy
9:41 am
can he ever change the way that it's presented. and i think he's shrewd enough and he's been a pastor in a huge dioceses to say i love the traditional teachings of the church, i'm as loyal to them as the day is long, but i'm also recognizing a lot of things aren't going over. i'm not going to change them because they come from the lord, but we better work on a more tantalizing, attractive, compelling way to present them. i think he'll do that. >> fascinating chat. now, special forces, suzanne, they've got a bit of a new mission, don't they? >> that's right. protecting rhinos, actually, from their worst enemy, we are talking about poachers. >> ultraprize rhino horns selling greater than the price of gold in the black market. sensational demand from asia.

9:46 am
faced with in south africa. the question is, how long before someone wakes up and decides to do something about this crisis which we face? >> now, this is the reason a team of highly trained american special forces are fighting to keep the african rhino from going extinct. when we say fighting, we don't mean with words either. >> this is real here. live with us now two of the guys from animal planet's rhino wars. we have rob and washington we're going to call you oz simply because you're active duty in u.s. special forces. thanks to both of you for joining us here. yes, this is a very big deal. i want to start off with you, rob, because you're in south africa. and this is literally a battle, a war that you're having with individuals who have been trying to kill these rhinos and poach them. how do you prepare? and how do you go after these guys? >> well, i'll tell you, that's a
9:47 am
good question. with all of our backgrounds and the situation and where it is and how we plan missions, how we execute missions taking the four of us over there and dropping them to a foreign country, we were faced with a lot of difficult problems. and one of them being knowing the battle space, which is the poachers. the poachers actually work in the syndicate -- these big crime syndicates, anywhere from five to 55 guys as they shoot the animal or kill the animal, dig out the horn and move that off into mozambique where it was exported to china and other areas. it was different. it was different for all of us. we all have a sense of service. we all have a sense of we want to do what's best for the greater good. but we were dealing with a lot of people that didn't see it the same way as we saw it. >> yeah. >> go ahead, michael. >> i was going to dive in there and say, you know, you're hunting these poachers. and the thing that in other parts of africa too that we've seen is these guys aren't
9:48 am
messing around. they're armed. you're armed. in other parts of the country it is shoot to kill if these guys engage. what are your rules of engagement? >> well, it's actually not -- we don't hunt the poachers. we try to deter the poachers from actually shooting the animals because they're not actually poachers for the animals until they shoot the animal. so you're dealing with as far as like a moral issue, they come across the fence, then it's a -- you want to shoot to kill. can you shoot this person because he has a gun into the game reserve? is he pointing the weapon at you? we went over with the message of if we start shooting people over here, we would look like the bad guys. our message had to be bigger and brighter about that because it's about the animals in the end. hunting poachers, more so tracking them and trying to arrest them to figure out where the network was. if you can figure out where the syndicates are out there operating and what areas they're operating, it's easy for us not
9:49 am
to attack them but send law enforcement to arrest them to break the network down. that was the biggest thing and the second part was the awareness for the population that's in that area to not hunt the rhinos. >> i want to bring in oz into the conversation. a couple things, oz, here. first of all, what do you see when you actually approach these rhinos? what kind of conditions are they in? what have you actually witnessed? and then secondly, how do you do this on top of being active duty in special forces? >> well, thank you for having us on the show. to answer your second question first, i'm part of a group right now that's a national guard group. so i'm active with their operation, but they allow me a lot of freedom to kind of do some private personal matters. and that's how i'm able to do this. i can tell you walking up on the live ones is certainly an incredibly majestic feeling. you have a sense of excitement, but a sense of nervousness
9:50 am
walking up on an animal that is 3,000 pounds of solid muscle. it's a tremendously calming feeling that you manage to feel in that presence, which is kind of strange. i can tell you that walking upon the animals that have been massacred, you have a sense of anger. you have a sense of sadness. and when you see the way that they've butchered these young, young animals, the small ones just for a couple grand for these horns, you get a sense of brutality and the level of viciousness that these people have in terms of, you know, being motivated by greed to commit these crimes. >> oz, do you actually see these rhinos suffering? i understand that sometimes they shoot them and they're still alive when they're actually carving them up and taking their horns and all these kinds of things. >> i can tell you just hearing that question actually kind of makes my stomach sink. absolutely. i mean, if you look at the beginning of our show, there is anand naidoo mall that survived a brutal attack. he's been massacred. the front of his face is chopped
9:51 am
off. he's bleeding heavily internally and externally going into shock, suffering, crying out for help, can barely hold its head up, if it even survives the gunshot, it probably will die of massive infection afterward. you can hear these animals cries. i mine e mean, you can't deny that they're feeling pain. >> that is unbelievable. yeah. much both of you for the u so incredible work that you're doing. really appreciate it. again, where can we see this? >> battleground rhino wars is being shown on animal planet. we are doing our best to get the word out. the goal objective of our show is really to create public awareness. the more people that watch, the more encouraged you know everyone will be in terms of making a difference. and what we want to do is we want to get back into the fight. and we need viewers to watch us and show that they support this cause. because i think we can really make a difference. >> all right. rob, oz, thank you very much. >> great work. you wouldn't want these two coming up on you either. great work.
9:52 am
appreciate what you're doing there. >> teddy bears. >> yeah, really. hung out with you guys before -- well, not you guys. when you pick up your luggage at the airport, some places look a little lighter than when you began your trip, right? up next, putting your bags to the ultimate travel. and reminder to watch cnn's new show "the lead with jake tapper" starting monday afternoon 4:00 eastern for our u.s. viewers. hey. they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorry. ok...four words... scarecrow in the wind... a baboon... monkey? hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? jimmy: happier than paul revere with a cell phone. ronny: why not? anncr: get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. i'm up next, but now i'm singing the heartburn blues.

in europe the european commission unveiled new rules for airline passenger rights. now, among them travelers will be put on arrival carrier if their flight is delayed more than 12 hours. and they'll clarify the definition of exceptional circumstances when it comes to compensation. mechanical failures count. natural disasters do not. and there's some protection for the industry too. airlines won't have to pay for more than a three-night hotel stay. >> michael, i know you've probably experienced this. you travel all the time. i know it happens to me. you check your luggage at the airport, not treated as well as you would treat it yourself, of course. >> lost a couple bags. >> and when it comes back, it's kind of beaten up. so these are tossed in the planes with hundreds of other bags as you know. considering the weather, i've had wet luggage as well. so the manufacturers of luggage now are trying to make sure it's tough enough for all this stuff.

times larger than any competitor. they face several challenges to maintain that lead. durability is a given as the chief executive himself makes sure. >> you can see this product is none the worse for wear. >> reporter: the key is responding to the constant changes in the way we travel. >> people's requirements are changing all the time. and just to give you one example, the cases that we sell today are probably half the weight that they were five years ago. and people are much more concerned now about how much cases weigh because of obviously easier to use a lighter case, but also it can cost you money. there's an area here i can also fill up. >> and that's really what people are after these days? they don't want to pay for the extra. >> they want something they can stuff into an overhead locker. >> small enough to stuff in the locker or light enough to get the most bang for your buck at check-in. the challenge lies in developing the latest and lightest

technology. it only takes about a handful of these pellets to make an entire case. >> this is my sort of case that i'll use. you can put into that any size of computer. one of the challenges for us is to meet the space limitation of the line while at the same time offering the business person the opportunity to put everything they want and take away with them for a two or three-day trip. >> the days of the giant trunk are long gone. today they have to be light, tidy and tough. most of us only buy a new one once every five years. you pride yourselves on building luggage to last, but you want people to keep buying luggage as well. >> i would never worry actually about selling a product that lasted a long time. there's always new people who are traveling, there are always new products to invent. even though people may have a few cases out there in the attic, that's not a worry for us. >> and thanks to this lineup,
