now in nepal we seem to be running these as you were saying earlier people getting covered in colorful stuff. this is katmandu about ringing in the new year. >> and in japan, tokyo disneyland celebrating its 30th anniversary. more than 500 million visitors have been to disney's theme parks. >> 30 years since that one opened. how it flies by. that will do it for me. thanks for watching "around the world." i'm out of here. you are not. carry on working. >> not quite yet. see you tomorrow. thanks. >> see you tomorrow. you've probably flown at some point we're talking about boeing 737s now being inspected for a problem that could cause pilots to lose control of the plane. and carnival cruise lines has a rough time lately, but it is hoping a royal lifesaver will rescue its reputation.

plus, if you've been outside at all these past couple days, you know how it is. bad spring allergies right now. dr. oz is joining us with some tips on how to beat the yellow haze. this is "cnn newsroom" and i'm suzanne malveaux. want to jump right into the market check here. we're taking a look at the dow jones. a record high again last week, but things not going that way today. you see the dow down 166 points. want to bring in zain asher from new york. so first of all, zain, we saw china reported slower economic growth this morning. and that that triggered potentially this drop in gold prices. what do we think is actually pushing stocks down today? >> it's all about exports. essentially china's economic growth slowed down to 7.7% compared to a year ago. in any other country that would be great, but it's quite a bit lower than analysts had expected. also as i mentioned china has the world's second largest economy. it's likely to negatively impact other countries who export there, including the u.s. china is one of our biggest

trading partners so that means lower demand for goods like caterpillar, ge and other american companies as well. the slower growth is causing a selloff today in gold. copper typically falls when demand in china slows down. and since people typically trade a basket of commodities, you're going to see gold fall as well. it's falling to its lowest level in more than two years. and it's also causing stocks to pull away from the records they hit multiple times last week. we're going to be seeing if that changes as the week goes on. we're going to be getting more bank earnings and housing reports along with the survey of regional economic conditions from the fed, suzanne. >> all right. zain, i know it's tax day. people filing their taxes. i always file for the extension. i always procrastinate just a little bit. but there are an awful lot of goodies if people actually do file their taxes make it a little less painful today. >> yes, yeah. lots of companies use tax day basically to get on your side. you've got lots of food offers at places like cinnabon.

also half-priced drinked at starbucks. and boston market is doing we love the irs special. by the way i.r.s. technically stands for incredible ribs special. i know. it's hilarious. basically you can get two rib meals for $10.40. so two rib meals for $10.40. obviously named after the irs 1040 form. and at office depot you can print up to 25 pages tax free. they're hoping that once you're there you can spend money on other stuff. suzanne. >> there's a common theme, zain, i notice. eat and drink, eat and drink the whole day. start with your coffee and cinnabon and end the day with your ribs. >> eat, drink and be merry. exactly. >> thank you, zain. appreciate it. >> no problem. so as we just heard the price of gold plummeting today down $120 to about $1,400 an ounce.

$1,400 might seem like a lot, but it's actually the lowest it's been in two years. miguel marquez met a gold investor who is just betting that drops like these are temporary. >> i'm an optimist because i'm pessimistic. >> reporter: spent a lifetime investing and building a business based on precious metals. >> this is 1,000-ounce bar. >> reporter: don't hurt your back. >> this weighs 70 pounds. don't hurt your back. >> reporter: oh, my goodness. today the luster is off not only silver but edward's main investment, gold. we are visiting you on a day when gold has dropped more than $60. >> so far, yes. >> reporter: so far. not a good day for you. >> oh, no, it's all good. >> reporter: why is it all good? >> because all my products are on sale. >> reporter: in the world of gold investing, always a silver lining. edwards expects gold prices to recover and rise like never before. he like many gold investors expects inflation to increase dramatically in the future because of monetary policy

today. >> the monetary easing that the fed is doing, that the japanese are doing is unprecedented. and we're heading into waters that are uncharted. >> reporter: and uncertainty drives gold prices. >> yeah, sure. up, yes. >> reporter: during the rush back in 2011 gold traded at nearly $2,000 an ounce. today, america's gold reserves have lost tens of billions of dollars in value as investors find there's more money to be made in housing and the stock market. can edwards in the business since 1977 has seen it all before. >> that feel you feel is what people fall in love with when they get into gold. once they start, they never stop. >> reporter: he says he'll keep buying and keep the faith that gold prices will head north eventually. miguel marquez, cnn, los angeles. >> so if you fly on a commercial airline, you might want to pay close attention to this next report. the faa is saying it has ordered

the inspection of more than 1,000 boeing 737 jets. they say there's an equipment problem on the tail of the plane and it could cause pilots to lose control. want to bring in rene marsh in washington. i understand it's pins used to connect the tail to the fuselage and there's something that's wrong with it. >> that's right. absolutely, suzanne. the 737 as you mentioned, it's a very popular plane. and if you're a frequent flier, chances are you have been on one of these planes. i want to show you exactly what we're talking about here. so the faa they're focusing on this part of the plane. we're talking about these flat horizontal panels here. that's where these pins are located on more than 1,000 of these planes. and, again, the pins are located right there. and the pilots unfortunately could lose control of the plane if these pins fail. now, it sounds very scary, but experts tell me that it actually would not cause a crash today. i spoke with one aviation

mechanic and others in the industry who say this is a safety problem, yes, but it is not an immediate concern. now, the faa says that the issue is with the pins that essentially hold everything together in the tail of the plane. now, these pins are exposed the weather, so they have to be coated with a material that protects them from corrosion as well as wear. and the faa, they got involved after reports that the coating was applied incorrectly. so that's a problem here. now, if those pins failed, the pilot could lose control of the plane. because, once again, the stability of this tail is so critical in keeping the plane in the air. suzanne. >> are we talking about old models here? are these newer planes? this is across the board? >> well, these are the newer planes. so they have come into service around 1998 or so. so that's considered relatively new. and that is why they're saying this is not an issue that would be a problem today or even tomorrow for that matter because

as we all know corrosion takes a while for that to kick in. but it's something that does need to be addressed, suzanne. >> and do we know is boeing responding at all with these inspections if they're going to affect airline schedules or how quickly this will start? >> we did speak with boeing today. it is not expected to affect scheduling. if you have a flight booked, you should not have any issues because of this. and they have until may 20th, that's when this directive actually kicks in. and then once may 20th comes around, there are certain things in place where depending on how old the plane is, how many miles its flown, they will need to address this issue, suzanne. >> all right. thank you, rene, appreciate it as always. the duchess of cambridge is going to be a godmother, but it's not what you think. thoo she's going to be godmother to a cruise ship. that's right. carnival cruise line has actually asked her to launch their latest ship called the royal princess. bring in john zarrella to

explain this. carnival has had problems passengers stranded on board days without power, mess with the toilets and those kinds of things. is this essentially a p.r. campaign to try to erase some of the bad memories? >> well, you know, there's no question about it they've had a rough go the last year or so, carnival, or two years going back to the concordia which is part of the carnival family. and the question, yes, suzanne. is it p.r.? sure it's p.r. but the question is this is a princess cruise ship. now, how many people out there know that carnival also owns the princess cruise line? so there may not be a direct correlation between good p.r. for carnival cruise and the princess cruise line. so it's going to be interesting to see how it shakes out. but no question about it, the stock has been down. my understanding is they're offering real deals on the carnival brand cruises right now to try and rebuild the brand name because it's been a tough go. but having her attached to this

ship certainly will not hurt. >> and what do we know about the update from senator jay rockefeller? he's asking carnival cruise line to pay for the rescues to help folks after they've been left and stranded. have they been pitching in money here? have they actually been following up on this? >> here's how it shakes out. rockefeller had sent a letter to carnival's ceo right after the incident. and said, listen, i'm concerned about the problems you've been having. and in the body of this letter he asked if carnival was planning to reimburse the coast guard and navy for some $77,000 that it cost them in responding to escort the ship in, to help to make sure there were no issues during the mishap. and what he got in response from carnival was carnival's policy is to honor maritime tradition

that holds that the duty to render assistance at sea to those in need is a universal obligation of the entire maritime community. the cruise industry's no exception. so they didn't say they were going to go ahead and pick up that tab, but they did add to that though very briefly is that one of our ships picked up a bunch of cuban refugees just this past friday in the gulf of mexico. so we don't ask to be reimbursed for that from the coast guard. >> they're going to have to sort all of that out. john, i know you're going to have more on this. this is 5:00 eastern on "the situation room" with wolf blitzer. tune into that as well. there's going to be a lot more on that story. thank you, john. >> yep. here's what else we're working on for this hour, will they actually have the votes? we're talking about a proposal by a republican and a democrat to expand background checks on gun sales. even "saturday night live" weighing in on that. plus, an essay assignment that has some parents and students outraged. at one school in new york students were given the task to

>> yeah. so look, is this bill what we wanted? no. is it what the nra wanted? no. but does it at least help in some small way? >> no. >> probably not. >> all right. what they're doing there of course spoofing republican senator pat toomey and democratic senator manchin. the senate is now expected to take up the gun package tomorrow. bring in our chief political analyst gloria borger. >> that was good. >> yeah, when "snl" starts to weigh-in on all this you know people are talking about it. you can poke fun of it, but also it's very emotional. it's a very emotional issue. you've seen these, you know, massacres, shootings that have ta taken place at schools and the president weighing in on all of this, what do we make of what we're going to see tomorrow? >> i think it's going to be so close, suzanne. it's hard to know. you know you need 60 votes to get anything done in the senate. and whether they're going to get those 60 votes remains to be

seen. you saw those two senators, democrat and republican, both pro-gun senators trying to come up with some sort of a compromise. and they've got problems on both sides of the aisle. you've got about a handful of democratic senators up in pro-gun states who are very, very nervous about voting for any kind of gun control that could be construed as interfering with the second amendment in any way, shape or form. and on the republican side you have the same problem, i mean most of the republicans except for one up for re-election come from states that mitt romney won, red states. so they've got a real problem there. it's going to take some cherry picking. and that's why you have this republican and democrat trying to do that together, cherry pick some senators who can actually get it done. >> this seems like the most noncontroversial part of this. we've got a poll that's saying nine out of ten americans favor

stricter background checks in purchasing guns, but there is this political divide here if you take a look at the new cnn/orc poll, says 29% of republicans say they favor stricter gun control laws compared to 82% of the democrats. so how key is this political divide here? and what gets done? >> it's very important. i mean, if you look at this sort of macro politics of it, suzanne, you see that kind of a number. you understand what's going on between republicans and democrats. you see that nine out of ten americans support something. if you're looking at the republican party as a brand, you'd say, you know what, voting against some kind of expansion on background checks might be good for the brand since this is a popular thing to do in the country. but if you saw that poll you just showed, if you're looking to solidify your base or run for re-election in a red state, then it's a very, very difficult issue for you as a republican. so you've got the larger issue.

so you see why senators are having a difficult time. but overall in the country the republican brand could suffer if republicans stopped the expansion of background checks. >> gloria, point out the gender gap here on the gun issue as well. i imagine that also shapes the debate too. >> right. that plays into the question of the republican brand. as you know, suzanne, republicans had a lot of trouble with women voters in this last election. so we asked, do you favor or oppose stricter gun control laws? and you see by two-to-one women favor gun control. so, again, if you're looking at this as a potential republican presidential candidate, you might be for the expansion of background checks. but if you live in a red state and you are running for re-election, it's very difficult for you as a republican senator. so i think that that's why we can't predict where the votes

are going to be on this because it's going to be so close. >> all right. gloria, we'll be watching closely. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> sure. new member of the bush family. i want you to take a look at this. these are pictures of the first grandchild of george w. and laura bush. she is margaret laura born saturday to jenna bush hager and her husband henry hager. she's named after her grandmothers. the family will call her mila. congratulations to all of them. and the flowers are blooming, but the pollen, it is everywhere. allergy season, people sneezing, fighting off headaches, feeling just miserable. well, coming up, dr. oz has tips on how you can minimize your symptoms up next.

♪ might find yourself sneeze, headache, a lot of people saying this could be the worst allergy season we have ever, ever seen. that's what we're talking about here. dr. oz is joining us from new york. and we are going to talk about childhood obesity, but first i want you to talk a little about what the cdc has said more than 50 million americans now suffering from allergies every year. you've come up with some pretty unique ways to help folks relieve some of those symptoms, right? so many people, half my family, everybody's just coughing and sneezing. >> well, we get the world experts in the room they actually agree it's pretty straightforward but very effective techniques. never forget this one, dress like a movie star. wide brim hat, big sunglasses,

oversize them. the reason is the pollen is in your eyes and hair and nooks and crannies, keep it off you by wearing protective gear and a wide brim hat and sunglasses will do just that. i also love the idea of taking a shower with a shampoo late at night. i know a lot of folks don't do this, but when you're walking around all day long, the pollen sticks to the parts of your body the stickiest. your hair is unfortunately the most likely culprit. so when you shampoo your hair, you wash that pollen off otherwise it deposits on the pillow, your head on the pillow and your eyes are swollen when you wake up. and allergy shots are incredibly effective. when i was a kid i used to get shots here and there, i never thought they worked. now with modern technologies 85% or so relief from symptoms, sometimes complete relief. check it out. it's worth making a visit. >> oh, yeah. my dad's a former retired allergist. i've seen that done before. you and your wife, however, you and lisa, you've started this program to help fight childhood obesity. and the stats are just unbelievable.

we know one in six child in the country is now obese. but you have something very unique in how you want to get to it early. what is your suggestion? >> well, about ten years ago i was in washington at a committee meeting trying to figure out how to deal with childhood obesity and i left there very dismayed. so we came back together and created something like health corps. think of the peace corps, take college graduate, teach them about stuff and put them in bats wa na to build dams. we do the same thing. we're in 66 schools across the nation. we're touching probably 40,000 kids. and healthcorps.org is the name of the organization. if you're a kid wlo who wants to join, let us know. if you're a parent or you want a mentor in your school system, let us know. we have a big event coming up, we take that money that we raise

at these events, and you're welcome to join by the way, suzanne, if you're free. and we take that money krooz u across this country, partner with local communities, governments, you know, school boards and we build these programs that change the lives of kids. here's the big story if i say nothing else today you remember this, kids are not the achilles tendon, they're the future. they always will be. we're not about teaching you food and exercise, mental resilience. if you're tough now have to take control of wlast in here, your body, you can change the world outside of it. >> love that theme. why is it that obesity is such a serious problem when kids are getting heavy so early in life catching them at a critical age as you do? >> it's a perfect storm for obesity not just for adults but for kids. we've created an environment where it's easy to do the wrong thing. and what we have to do is make it cool to be healthy. make it cool to control your destiny. make it cool to push back and rebel. these kids often thought of the lost generation and realize if

you can go home and audit your refrigerator and give your mom a hard time, which you're going to do anyway, give her a hard time about why do you have high fructose corn syrup in the fridge or eating the stuff we know that's not good for our waistline nor our brains? get as a nation to understand you cannot be wealthy country without being a healthy country, the kids will lead that change. good news on the front, for the first time this year we're seeing a plateauing in childhood obesity. we're making a dent. our efforts are paying off. >> i like that idea of actually tapping into the kids and teenagers rebellious streak, right? use it in a way that's really productive and gives them a sense of control over their lives. dr. oz, thank you so much. hopefully we'll be doing less sneezing during this really tough allergy season. >> big glasses. >> big glasses, hat, whole thing. love it, hollywood. thanks again, dr. oz. there's been an arrest of a former texas justice of peace for making terrorist threats. the big question, is the arrest of eric williams connected to the murders of two texas

the op-ed is titled "gitmo is killing me." this is a powerful piece published in "new york times" by a prisoner at guantanamo bay. in it the prisoner writes i've been on a hunger strike since february 10th and lost well over 30 pounds. i will not eat until they restore my dignity. the prisoner says he has been jailed for more than 11 years and has never received a trial. in the op-ed he says he became sick last month and refused to eat. well, now he says the military is force feeding him. he says to go ahead and say they tie me to a chair in my cell. my arms, legs and head are strapped down. i never know when they will come. sometimes they come during the night, as late as 11:00 p.m. when asked for a comment, a spokesman from the pentagon says

that investigators had descended on a storage shed about 15 miles away from eric williams' home where they spent many more hours combing through that storage shed. local media outlets here in the dallas-ft. worth market are reporting that inside that shed investigators found some 20 firearms and there was also a crown victoria, a police-style looking car that was taken out of that storage shed as well. we're told by law enforcement officials that this is in connection with the ongoing investigation of the murders in kaufman county. but suzanne, as you mentioned, still no official word from investigators that eric williams is a suspect or that he's been charged with any crimes related to those murders. >> do we know, have we heard anything from his attorney? >> we haven't at this point. what we had been talking with him, eric williams is a name we've known about for some time. we've spoken with his attorney from time to time, but over the last few days we've gotten no response. remember, eric williams was a

former justice of the peace who was convicted by mark hasse, the assistant district attorney that was killed back at the end of january, hasse prosecuted his theft case of county property there. and that's the connection there. at the end of that trial eric williams told the court that that verdict in that case dramatically altered the course of his life. interesting comments there as we look back at what happened about a year ago. >> thank you, appreciate it. follow it closely. in the world of sports kobe bryant expected to be out six to nine months. that is right. but the lakers playoff hopes still very much alive. we're going to explain in the bleacher report up next. your loved one can get a free 30-day trial. and you can have access to nurses. it does not change how the disease progresses. hospitalization, and rarely death, have been reported from wearing more than one patch at a time. the most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,

a helmet maker riddell found guilty in colorado of failing to adequately warn players about the dangers of concussions. now, they have to play a high school football player more than $3 million. that is because the judge found that riddell partially guilty

for his injuries. the family led the case against the helmet maker and the former player suffered brain damage while playing football, that happened back in 2008. he is now partially paralyzed. riddell says in a statement "while disappointed in the jury's decision not to fully exonerate riddell, we are pleased the jury determined that riddell's helmet was not defective in any way." so the company plans to appeal. riddell faces similar lawsuits in los angeles as well, plus a complaint by thousands of former nfl players. terrible trend now happening in southern california. this is really sad. more than 1,000 baby sea lions, they've been found starving to death on beaches from san diego to santa barbara. this is all happened in recent months. the people on the beach they're finding them wandering lost with their ribs protruding. animal rescuers have been called in, but often it's just too late. philippe cousteau is joining us from san francisco.

first of all, tell us why is this happening. >> well, that's the scary part is we don't really know exactly why it's happening. this is absolutely unprecedented mortality rates of six sea lions showing up and certainly many dead sea lions as well. up to half the population of baby sea lions are believed to be suffering from malnutrition. far increase over last year. and traditional years it's less than a third. and there's concern it could be declining populations of sardines and squid that the babies and mothers are typically feeding on at this time of year, could be toxic algae blooms contributing as well to this. but we're not sure yet. >> and what are the kinds of conditions that they find these little sea lions in? >> again, that's what's so concerning. sea lions are a very adaptable species. they live relatively well in close connection with human beings. there's about a quarter million sea lions or more here along the

coast of california. so having sea lion pups, this is the nursing season when the sea lions are being born, and nursing with their mothers, they're showing up as you pointed out with their ribs protru protruding, about 25 pounds. they should be on average around 60 pounds at this time of year. so it's very, very concerning. a lot of them are dehydrated and malnourished. and one could argue that these types of marine mammals are like canaries in the coal mine. they really help us get a sense of the overall health of the ecosystem. so if sea lions are suffering, it's likely that something bigger is going on. they're the first visible signs of that impact. and people are using these beaches and resources as well. and it's very scary. and the national oceanic and atmospheric administration has determined this as an unusual mortality rate, which really shows the level of concern that authorities have about this trend. >> and is there anything that wildlife rescue agencies can do? can they rehabilitate them? can they get them back to normal? >> well, indeed they can.

and there are several wonderful organizations, marine mammal rescue center up here in san francisco, there's an organization marine mammal rescue center in los angeles, sea world does a lot of work in san diego. all of these organizations are dealing with a dramatic increase and influx of these sick and diseased sea lions. and people can really help out by supporting these organizations and getting involved. and of course we always recommend that if people do see a sick or dead sea lion on the beach, do not approach it. call the local authorities. stay well, well away and respect them. >> all right. thank you so much. >> always a pleasure. >> thank you. in most parts of the country the sun is out. and some investors starting to think about selling stocks now because summer weather usually brings a selloff, but is it really time to sell or time to buy? that's up next. the kyocera torque lets you hear and be heard

vacation had to get away ♪ >> the go-gos said it best back in the '80s. we're heading into what is traditionally the worst six months for the stock market, may through october. thus, that old wall street adage, sell in may and go away. >> the market has actually outperformed itself november through april, compared with may through october almost 75% of the time. so it averages plus batting averages that cause people to say, you know what, in the summer, investors focus more on their tans. >> reporter: and this batting average pretty high. since about 1950, from november to april, the s&p 500 has gained 1400 points. in may through october, it has lost 97 points. >> history says but does not guarantee we probably will advance another 3% before stumbling from exhaustion like the messenger from marathon. >> reporter: this most recent marathon took the s&p to record highs.
