police say the real hero here is amanda. talking about amanda berry whose frantic call to 911 led air officers to them last night. once she managed to escape amanda berry made that call from a neighbor's house across the street. hear the fear, emotion in her voice as she explains to the dispatcher she's been missing for ten years. >> 911. what's your emergency? >> help me. i'm amanda berry. >> do you need police, fire or ambulance? >> i need police. >> okay, and what's going on there? >> i've been kidnapped, and i've been missing for ten years, and i'm here. i'm free now. >> okay, and what's your address? >> 2207 seymour avenue. >> 2207 seymour. it looks like you're calling me from 2210. >> huh? >> looks like you're calling me from 2210. >> i can't hear you. >> looks like you're calling me from 2210 seymour. >> i'm across the street. i'm using the phone. >> okay, stay there with those neighbors and talk to police

when they get there. >> okay. >> thank you. okay. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. hello? >> okay, talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. are they on their way right now? >> we're going to send them as soon as we get a car open. >> no, i need them now before he gets back. >> all right. we're sending them, okay? >> okay, i mean like -- >> who's the guy you're trying -- who is the guy who went out? >> his name is ariel castro. >> okay, how old is he? >> he's like 52. and i'm amanda berry. i've been on the news for the last ten years. >> okay, i got that, dear. and you say what was his name again? >> ariel castro. >> and is he white, black or hispanic? >> hispanic. >> what's he wearing? >> i don't know 'cause he's not here right now. that's why i ran away. >> when he left, what was he wearing? >> who knows. >> the police are on the way. talk to them when they get there. >> i need -- okay. >> i told you they're on the

way. talk to them when they get there. >> all right, okay. bye. >> wow. police say the top priority is well-being of the three women now back with their families. investigators questioned them briefly last night, fbi experts noon talk with them more in-depth today. in a news conference this morning, authorities on the scene said they never stopped following leads in the missing persons cases over these many years. they described the emotion of finding the three women alive. >> there's a law enforcement person, and i know everybody within the division of police and all of my law enforcement partners feel the same, i was overseeing the disappearance of secure johnson back in the low 2000s, a 12-year-old female disappeared and three weeks later we found herbodically. to find the three girls, it makes the police department, it just gives ace boost.

>> family members in law enforcement kept the faith one day they might see their daughters, their sisters, their nieces again. monday evening that happened. the fbi and the crime task force, as the chief and mayor mentions, particularly men and women of the cleveland police department pursued every tip and stood with the families each step of the way. and the families of these three young ladies never gave up hope. neither did law enforcement. as you can imagine, words can't describe the emotions being felt by all. yes, law enforcement professionals do cry. >> the community clearly overwhelmed today, overjoyed that these young women have been found, horrified such a thing could happen in their own neighbor h neighbor. martin savidge. what's the latest on the three men under arrest? >> reporter: yeah, let's talk about the investigation, because it gets all tied together.

and beginning with the house behind us, right now there is said to be a special team from the fbi, forensic prospectors, if you will, going through, and they say they've got at least a decade worth of evidence that has to be analyzed, has to be collected, and has to be put in some kind of perspective as to exactly what happened. also being told, in addition to that, that there are dogs that are going to be brought into the nearby neighborhood to search vacant lots, around the homes. they won't say why because they could be cadaver dogs. and then the three suspects. we know they're all related, three brothers, ariel castro, 52 his brother pedro, 54, his other brother, o'neal, 50. we know ariel is the one whose name is listed to the house to which the women were kept. beyond that authorities aren't going into how all of the men are connected to this, are they all equally to blame in this?

authorities aren't saying. they are saying the investigation's huge and only growing larger. and that they really are just starting to get their arms around it. wolf? >> how are the people in the community there in cleveland -- i know you're from cleveland -- how are they feeling about all of this today because what an amazing development. >> reporter: yeah, it is. i mean, i think people are still in a state of disbelief. you have to understand the missing two girls, especially the two youngest ones, those were stories that people in the community followed. this is this is a story, they went out searches joined them in the canvasses but they were part of the mind-set and they began to fade away. now they're found. that's the euphoria and there's a lot of that. after that subsides, the question, how is it possible? why were those girls selected and taken? how could they be taken? above all, how is it possible

they were kept on this street for ten years without somebody knowing something? and those are really troubling questions for law enforcement and the neighborhood at zblarj great questions to ask. and there's no answers yet. presumably we'll get questions soon. the story took a dramatic turn when a neighbor responded to a call for help. charles ramsey being called a hero. he had no idea three women were being held against their will right in his own neighborhood. he told our affiliate wews he was going about his business. >> heard scream, i am eating my mcdonald's, i come outside, i see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house. so i go on the porch. i go on the porch, and she says, help me get out. i've been here a long time. so you know i figured it's a domestic violence dispute. i opened the door, and we can't

get in that way how the door is it's so much a body can't fit through it, only your hand. so we kick the bottom. she comes out with the little girl and says, call 911, my name is amanda berry. >> do you know who that was when she said that? >> when she told me it didn't register until i got the call for 911. i'm calling 911 for amanda berry, i thought this girl was dead, you know what i mean? she got on the phone and said, yes, this is me and the detective, right here, detective gregory cook, charles you know who you rescued? the girl amanda told the police i ain't the only one, it's more girls up in that house. so they going up there, you know, and when they came out, just astonishing. i thought they would come up with nothing. we seen this dude every day. i mean every day. >> how long have you lived here? >> i've been here a year. i barbecued with this dude. we eat ribs and whatnot, listen

to salsa music, see where i'm coming from. not a clue that that girl was in that house. or anybody else was in there against their will because how he is, is -- he comes out to his backyard, plays with dogs, kicking it with the cars and motorcycles and goes back into the house. you look, you look away, he's not doing nothing but average stuff. nothing exciting about him. well until today. >> charles ramsey. he certainly is a hero for what he did. here what happens we're working on also this hour. families never gave up hope. now three women are free. they're not alone. we'll attack a closer look at other missing children who were found alive including elizabeth smart and jaycee dugard. also -- the new jersey governor chris christie long struggled with his weight. we are now finding out he had secret weight loss surgery. the real mystery is, did he do it for his career, did he do it

for a professional run for the presidency? did he do it for his family? we're trying to get some we're trying to get some answers. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods.

join us at purinaone.com the prayers of three families are finally answered in

cleveland, ohio. three young women are free today after being held captive for ten years in a neighborhood home. flee middle aged men, all brothers, not related to the victims, they are now under arrest and a special forensic fbi team is searching this house right now. it's where the girls were found ra last night. the psychological impact of this ordeal on these young women. jeff gardere, sometimes called america's psychologist, joining us new york. these women have been through hell. none of us can bhimagine what i must have been like. the process of healing, what will happen . >> well, what we're going to see is of course they're going to be debriefed because they want to file charges and get as much factual information as they can. but yet at the seam time, law enforcement does understand they can't push these young women too quickly because they don't want to retraumatize them by talking

about the horrific, more of the horrific intimate details as to what happened. so they are going to -- law enforcement will be advised by psychologists, by mental health experts, but that will be part of their rehabilitation. talking about this and getting supportive counseling. i think we'll see counseling not just with young girls but also young women but also with families and if we can get the women who are in captivity together, because only they can understand what they've been through. we can only begin to imagine. but they were in it together and therefore rehabilitation should take place together, that's supportive kind of counseling that will help them to be able to have their catharsis in a healthier way. >> there's always a tension, as you know, police want to do the right thing, want to help these young women, want to help them adjust. at the same time, they want to get evidence against these three

suspects now who are under arrest. and it's not always easy walking that tight line. what do you make of the suspects? >> what i say about the main suspect, ariel castro, from what we're learning, supposedly a charismatic guy, language out, do barbecues and people around the neighborhood knew him but this other thing of being this horrific captor, this monster. to me, that fits right into the profile of a psychopath. a person who can do these monstrous things but yet at the same time give a persona to other people they're just normal, being able to have that dichotomy and do it so well and seem to have some sort of morality but we see there is absolutely no morality as part of this person's character. >> have you ever heard of three brothers, 52, 54, 56, all in their early -- relatively early mid-50s, three brothers

allegedly involved in something as horrendous as this? >> this does appear to be some sort of a family pathology. on your airwaves earlier you had some anchors talking about the fact that these three members of the family were disaffected, people were not communicating and an uncle hadn't talked to them for a couple of years though they're in the same area. this is a case where perhaps ariel, and we all are supposing here, might have been the lead of this but brought the brothers in to be part of this horrific crime that was taking place almost a crime of opportunity in that these brothers may have walked into a situation where we can have captives and do things and our brother's leading us but we can support it because we're also getting the gain or secondary gain of whatever torture or sex was involved, certainly against the will of these women. >> bottom line right now is the

police, law enforcement, everyone really who deals with these three women have to be sensitive to questions they're asking, what they're going to do because you don't want to make a bad situation even worse. >> that's absolutely correct. there will be ptsd, there will be depression, there will be anxiety, and all of the research wolf, shows, that if you are able to tread lightly but in a therapeutic way steadily you have a better prognosis because you're getting them, they're not just talk about what happened, but getting the facts for prosecution, but also getting them to process that horrific series of events so that they can be healthier in life and it's going to be a long, long emotional road for these young women to be able to get back on their feet. >> we wish them only the best. good advice from jeff gardere, thanks for joining us. the new jersey governor, chris christie, reveals his secret he had surgery to help

congressional midterm elections are not until next year but a hotly contested race is happening right now on the day in south carolina. mark sanford, former republican governor who fell from grace after an infamous extramarital affair is hoping to defeat democrat elizabeth colbert bush the sister of stephen colbert running for a vacant house seat in the coastal region. a traditional republican seat san for once held. polling dead even. cnn will have complete coverage with the results after the polls close, that would be 7:00 p.m. eastern later tone. new jersey governor chris christie revealed he secretly had lap band weight loss surgery. christie, 50, did it for his kids. a 40-minute procedure back in

february. doctors put a band around his stomach to make it smaller to the stomach feels fuller faster. chief political analyst gloria borger is joining us now. governor christie says it's about his health but how much is potentially about a race for the white house in 2016? >> this is about his life. this is about his life as a father, as a husband, and of course, as a presidential candidate. i think you'd have to say that losing weight was really a prerequisite for him for running for the presidency. his weight was a complete liability. people understand that while 64% of the people in new jersey now say his weight is not a problem, when you start playing on the presidential stage, wolf, it becomes an entirely different story. people care about your health. they want to know you can fulfill the rigors of the office. look at john mclean with his cancer. mike huckabee had a weight

problem. people questioned bill clinton's weight, back in the day, remember? this becomes i part of his personal narrative. he can now tell a story about how he had a struggle, how he was vulnerable, and how he's tried to overcome it. by the way, wolf, people will now continue to watch to see how he does. >> we know that, as far as his weight in new jersey, there was a quinnipiac university poll registered republican voters are nationwide that in new jersey it's not an issue. we asked among these republicans, potentially for a presidential campaign you see registered republicans, 19% for rubio, 17% for paul ryan, 15% rand paul, chris chris tis up there with 14%. you sense that this is likely to change. let's say he loses another 50 pounds or even 100 pounds right now. i suspect that would help him dramatically. >> you know, getting thinner is

not going to make conservatives love chris christie anymore. they think he's a moderate. they don't like the way he embraced president obama before the last eex. he is, and you know this, he's for gun control, immigration reform, he believes that climate change is real. this puts him at odds with a lot of people within his own party. what this public struggle does do, though, wolf, is it allows him to present himself as a person who has a vulnerability and a struggle and part of telling your story when you run for the presidency is to have a good story to tell. and this is somebody who can now say, i'm devoted to my family, i'm devoted to my kids, i wanted to dance at my kids' wedding. and you know, that's something that really appeals to voters. so it's not going to make him any more conservative, but it might make him a little bit more

personally appealing as someone who has admitted to a struggle he's had a hard time overcoming and trying to deal with. >> if he deals successfully with it i suspect that will help him politically as well. we wish the governor success with this effort to try to lose some serious weight. hope only the best for him. thanks, gloria. see you later in "the situation room." new threats from north korea as president obama hosting the south korean president at white house. we'll have a live news conference coverage coming up. you see reporters ready at the white house. that news conference coming up momentarily. we'll hear what the president and south korean president, what they have to say about north korea and more soon. this day calls you.

dramatic developments all came after a neighbor heard amanda berry screaming for help. and now authorities are trying to piece together the details of how the young women were abducted and held for all those years. gina dejesus was 20 years old when she disappeared april of 2004, nine years ago. but her aunt says in all of that time, gina's mother never gave up hope. sandra ruiz says her sister's faith gave the rest of the family strength. >> ply sister had the sister of a thousand women. she knew, she knew, and she kept -- we had the strength, she kept us on the strength and that's, you know, i give her -- i don't know how she did it. if it was my daughter, i don't foe. she's my niece and i -- i survived day by day with god. amanda's part of our family. >> right. >> so will michele. michele will be with us.

thick and thin, for the rest of our lives, those two women. >> i wonder, when you last saw them they were girls and when you see them now they're women. >> they're women. >> what can you tell us -- >> they're stronger than you, you, you, and me. >> i believe that. >> trust me, they are. >> how -- >> they're great. >> if they helped one another, did you see signs of that? i'm sure that helped them get through. >> sisterhood, women that -- those girls, those women are so strong. what we do out here, what we have done in ten years is nothing compared to what those women have done. together to survive. >> sadly, amanda berry's mother didn't live to be reunited with her daughter. when she passed away back in 2006, people said she died of a broken heart. amanda disappeared while walking home from her job at berber king a few blocks from her home. the day before her 17th birthday. brandy is a former tv reporter

who covered the amanda berry story and developed a special bond with amanda's mom. so, thanks for joining us. what were your thoughts, first of all, covering the story? tell us about the mother. >> reporter: i tell you what, wolf, you know, it's one of those stories you know you cover typically missing person, missing child, and you know you collect it out and you see, is this a runaway, a feeling as a reporter how this is going to develop. so i got to know the mom. and once she invited me into her home and amanda's bedroom, showed me around, and talked to her, i talked to her for a while, i knew right away, you know, this is more than just a runaway. this wasn't something that was, you know, going to engood because you felt the closeness between the mother and the daughter. and she was so persistent all the time about finding her

daughter and she kind of had that instinct, she was still here. she's somewhere. and she felt helpless because only thing she could do is reach out to us and we did our best to you know get the word out. but for ten years we didn't know, obviously. here we are today with good news and -- but still at the sail time you have that mom who is gone now and still never knew what happened to her daughter. >> this notion, you knew her, she died -- she was a relatively young woman, she actually died of a broken heart. do you believe that? >> reporter: oh, definitely. i would say shattered. you know, broken is a good way -- she died of heart failure. and i think you have been hearing that a lot, she died of a broken heart. it truly was one of those bonds between a mother and a daughter, you can tell they had a closeness. i hope amanda knows that.

she's watching this and hears this. her mother did everything she possibly could to try to find her. she really did. she reached out. called every week. she owould do whatever we could to get her daughter on the news. she never had a dry face. the woman would call, you could tell she had been crying. i go to interview, we'd reach out, we'd hug. her face is so wet covered in tears. your heart broke for her. >> i know you tell the story that you would hold her hands and try to get a smile off of her but that was virtually impossible. the women was so, so sad, so distraught on every occasion you saw her? >> reporter: this is true. and you know, you try to do things to bring a little light of hope, you know, glimmer of hope and cover the stories. but it's one of those things you can only cover the story so many

times, you know? when there's a vigil we would cover it or the slightest tip. there's nothing concrete. i worked for wjw, and we couldn't cover it every day. because after a while, you know, it's the same story. and unfortunately we did the best we could. and i think a lot of the community, that's why people rallied around so much, because they felt a closeness to amanda because her mom did a very good job of getting the word out and letting people know this was something more than a runaway, or someone who is playing a joke. there was something more to it. i think she really felt that. it was a motherly instinct. wolf, one more thing. a lot of times you very kids and you lose one in a store for two minutes your heart sinks. as a mom, i have four children now. i can't imagine, i can't fathom what she was going through all those years not knowing. i mean, i just wanted to call

and pick up the phone and say, we found her, we found her. but as soon as i heard the news yesterday i dropped what i was doing. and i felt helpless. i was overjoyed and relieved and i just wanted to share that with her. >> it would have been nice if she would have been able to be reunited with her daughter. our heart goes out to that family. brandi thanks for sharing thoughts with us. >> reporter: my pleasure. >> distraught survivor of the tragic limo fire speaking out. saw the smoke in theackf the car, where one of her friends is sitting. >> you'll hear why she says the limo driver did not, repeat, did not do enough to help. at angie's list, you'll find reviews written by people just like you. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. angie's list -- reviews you can trust.

a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions,

bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

it may be weeks before we know what caused that limo fire that killed bride-to-be and four friends. while investigators worked the case, we're hearing from survivors of this terrible fire. >> i said i told you there's smoke and then a spark came out. i said there's a fire. stop the car. stop the car. when he stop the car he get out from the car, he just get out from the car.

then he get out from the car. he just opened the door, that's all he did. i asked him, help me, help me, bring out my head from the compartment and say, help me, so i could squeeze myself over and and slide myself. open the door, open the door. he didn't do anything. when i ran back, jasmine was saying, i cannot get out. help! i cannot get out. so i tried to pull her out. i tried to check if i can pull out one more, but it's already too dark, i can't see anything anymore. >> the limo driver's also speaking out. he got out safely and managed to

help one or two of the women escape. he says it all happened so fast he wishes he could have done more to save the others. we can soon find out where the boston bombing suspect tam tsarnaev will be buried. the latest information we have. the funeral home in worcester, massachusetts where the terror suspect's body was taken says it expects a resolution perhaps as early as tomorrow. that's after trying unsuccessfully for several days to find a cemetery that would accept the body. there's help on the way for the victims of the boston bombings. the boston one fund has raised at least $28 million so far. the head of the fund kenneth feinberg says families of those killed in the attack will each receive more than $1 million but cautioning there's only so much the money can do. >> i'll tell you right now whatever we do with this fund is

inadequate. and everybody i suggest, lower your expectations about this fund. if you had a billion dollars, you could not have enough money to deal with all of the problems that ought to be addressed by these attacks. >> the fund is aiming to distribute money to victims by the end of june. we're told that momentarily the president of the united states and the visiting president of south korea will go into this room over there at the white house. you see the flags of the u.s. and south korea there. they will hold a joint news conference. they have been meeting earlier in the oval office at the white house discussing the very, very explosive, tense situation on the korean peninsula, given the recent threats from north korea and its new young leader, kim jong-un. they have been working out a joint strategy in recent days. u.s. officials say the north

koreans apparently have removed some missiles that were threatening earlier but the situation there remains very, very tense. remember, along that demilitarized zone separating north and south korea, there are to the north 1 million north korean forces heavily armed with artillery, missiles and rockets. to south almost 1 million south korean troops, 30,000 trips. there's the south korean president, but here's the president. >> please have a seat. let me again by saying it is a great pleasure to welcome president pak and our friends from the republic of korea. we are greatly honored you have chosen the united states as your first foreign visit. this, of course, reflects deep friendship between our people and the great alliance between

your nations, which is marking another milestone. i'm told in korea 60th birthday is a special celebration of life and longevity. [ speaking foreign language ] we're marking the 60th anniversary of the defense treaty wean the nations. yesterday president pak visits arlington cemetery. tonight she's hosting a dinner to pay tribute to the generation of american veteran whose have served in the defense of south korea and tomorrow she'll address a joint session of congress, an honor that is reserved for our closest of friends. and in this sense this visit reflects south korea's extraordinary progress over these six decades. from the ashes of war to one of the world's large of the economies, from the recipient of foreign aid to a donor that helps other nations develop and of course around the world, people are being swept up by

korean culture, the korean wave, and as i've mentioned to president pak, my daughters have taught me a pretty good gangnam style. president pak in your first months in office, south korea's faced threats and provocations that would test any nation yet displayed calm and steady resolve that has defined your life. like people around the world, those of us in the united states have also been inspired by your example as the first female president of south korea. and today i've come to appreciate the leadership qualities for which you are known. focus and discipline and straightforwardness and thank you for the progress that we've already made together. today we agreed to continue the implementation of our historic trade agreement which is already yielding benefits for both our countries. on our side we're selling more exports to korea, more manufactured goods, agriculture products. even as we have a long way to

go, automobile exports are up nearly 50%, and our big three, ford, chrysler, gm, selling more cores in korea. and as president pak and i agreed to make sure that we continue to fully implement this agreement, we believe that it's going to make both of our economies more competitive, boost u.s. exports by some $10 billion in support of tens of thousands of american jobs and obviously creating jobs in korea, as they are able to continue to do extraordinary work in expanding their economy and moving it further and further up the value chain. we agreed to continue the clean energy partnerships that help us enhance our energy security and address climate change. given the importance of a peaceful nuclear energy industry to south korea we agreed to extent the existing civilian nuclear agreement between our two countries but emphasize the need to continue to work diligently toward a new

agreement. i believe we can fine a way to support south korea's energy and commercial needs even as we uphold our mutual commitments to prevent nuclear proliferation. we agreed to continuing modernizing our security alliance. guided by our joint vision we're investing in the shared capabilities and technologies and missile defenses that allow our forces to operate and succeed together. we are on track for south korea to assume operational control for the alliance in 2015 and we're determines to be fully prepared for any challenge or threat to our security and obviously that includes the threat from north korea. if pyongyang thought its recent threats would drive a wedge between south korea and the united states or somehow garner the north international respect today's further evidence that north korea has failed again. president pak and south koreans

sko sko stood with resolve. faced with new international sanctions north korea is more isolated. the days when north korea could create a crisis and elicit concessions, though days are over. our two nations are prepared to engage with north korea diplomatically and build trust. the burden is on pyongyang to take meaningful steps to abide by commitments and obligations particularly the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. we discussed that pyongyang should take notice of events in countries like burma which as it reforms seeing more trade and investment and diplomatic ties with the world including the united states and south korea. for our part, we will continue to coordinate closely with south korea and with japan. and i want to make clear the united states is fully prepared and capable of defending ourselves and alleys with the

full range of capabilities available, including the deterrence provided by our conventional and nuclear forces. as i said in seoul last year the commitment of the united states to the security of the republic of of korea will never waver. more broadly we begin to continue expanding our cooperation globally. in afghanistan, where our troops serve together and where south korea is a major donor of development assistance, we're on track to complete the transition to afghan-led operations by the end of next year. we discussed syria, where both our nations are working to strengthen the opposition and plan for a syria without bashir al assad. and i'm pleased our two nations and our peace cores have agreed to expand our efforts to promote development around the world. finally, we're expanding the already strong ties between our young people. as an engineer by training, president pak knows the importance of education, madam president you said, and i'm quoting you, we live in an age

where a single individual can raise the value of an entire nation. i could not agree more. i'm pleased we're renewing exchange programs that bring our students together andwi we wanto make it easier for foreign entrepreneurs and foreign graduate students from countries like korea to stay and contribute to our country just as so many korean-americans already do. so, again, thank you, president pak, for making the united states your first foreign trip in your inaugural address you celebrated the can do spirit of the korean people. that is the spirit that we share and after our meeting today i'm confident that if our two nations continue to stand together, there is nothing we cannot do together. so madam president, welcome to the united states. >> very strong statement from the president of the united states. and now a response from the president of south korea. we'll monitor what she's saying. i assume she's also going to salute the very strong u.s./south korean relationship

and also in the face of the latest threats coming from north korea. we'll take a quick break and continue to monitor what is happening at the news conference at the white house. we'll be right back.

checking your money right now, there you see the dow is over 15,000 once again. take a look at this, up about 78 points right now. you might remember the dow passed the 15,000 mark for the first time ever on friday. but it hasn't closed above that big psychological mark. we'll see if it does later

today. we know a college degree makes a huge difference when it comes to getting a job. the unemployment rate for workers with college degrees is half of the national average. but what you study can also make a huge difference in your job prospects and even how much money you wind up making. christine romans explains in this week's how to speak money. >> reporter: stem stands for science, technology, engineering and math, stem, and these fields are driving the good paying jobs. it is no secret that students studying stem make more than those studying liberal arts when they graduate. stem majors make almost 20 grand more a year right off the bat. a new report from glass door shows they can also make a lot of money even before they graduate. look at the top five highest paid internships. vmware claims the number one spot. interns there make about $6700 a month on average. that adds up to more than $80,000.

ebay comes in a close second, paying $6500 a month. exxonmobil third spot followed by facebook and google. notice a trend? those internships are mostly at tech companies or petroleum engineering. these companies need to fill high tech jobs like software engineers and they'll pay to get the best. something to think about as you get the college acceptance letters. remember, stem jobs are the future. they'll drive the growth of the industries that are paying the most money for students. the u.s. is lagging behind china, india and others on stem education. we can't afford to lose that edge in integration and you can afford to have a $200,000 degree that leaves you unemployed. be very careful what you're studying, what you're good at, and what the economy is rewarding. and if you're not a math guru, if you're not a science freak, don't worry. liberal arts majors can still make very good living if they are working in fields that are stem related. back to you. >> christine romans, thanks very much. that does it for me.
