he says pockets of the city were under water yesterday causing major property damage. at least two people were killed in the flooding when they were swept away by the rushing waters. one of them was actually washed out of the arms of a rescue worker who was trying to get her out of her car. we know that more than 200 people were successfully rescued from submerged cars and flooded homes there. mayor julian castro said at least san antonio got a break last night with very little rain. and karen maginnis has been following this very closely. good morning to you, karen. how are things looking there now? >> we are expecting a round of rainfall. but let me qualify this. and that is we're watching this cluster of showers and a few thunderstorms making its way along interstate 10. it is been holding together fairly well. maybe just weakening just a little bit on this eastern edge, but we expect within the next hour it is going to trek its way across interstate 10 across san antonio. you may see some brief heavy

rainfall or moderate rainfall, but i think in the overall picture we're not looking at anything that is going to make things worse as far as flooding goes. there's already a flood watch as well as a flood warning all around the san antonio metro area. so watch out for that. the rainfall totals are expected to be maybe an inch, possibly two inches. that's the worst case scenario. this is coming out of the west. yesterday, that eight to ten inches of rainfall was fueled by moisture that was coming in from the southeast from the gulf of mexico. so that bumped into this very warm, moist, unstable air and consequently that corridor from san antonio to corpus christi, there you can see red and pink shaded areas, there's where we saw almost a foot of rain in isolated pockets. poppy mentioned two fatalities. we did see yesterday a gentleman

on top of a building at a golf course and there was a kodiak that had some rescue workers in it. they were able to rescue that gentleman off the top of the building. he put on his life jacket, got into the kodiak and off they went. there were lots of stories like that, but there were also about 50 people at an apartment complex who had to be rescued when their building was flooded. and they are safely somewhere else right now. but lots of stories just like that. >> absolutely. all right, karen maginnis for us this morning, thanks, karen. president obama heading to oklahoma this afternoon. nearly a week after the deadly tornado that claimed 24 lives and devastated the city of moore. the president is expected to speak this afternoon just around 2:15 eastern time. he'll then take a tour of the damaged areas. he will meet with families, he will thank first responders and then he'll head back to washington tonight. tonight is also when residents of moore will hold a memorial service to honor the victims and reflect on the tragedy that happened just a week ago.

all right, let's bring in our nick valencia. he's been reporting all week in moore, oklahoma. nick, thank you for joining us this morning. i know you said you saw some of the first smiles you've seen all week yesterday. >> that's right. a very emotional day yesterday, poppy, as three local high schools graduated, west moore, south moore and moore high school. and for at least one graduate it was a much-needed break. if -- just to put this into perspective for our viewers, these graduates lost family members, friends, they lost their homes. it's a very stressful time, a very depressing time here for a lot of people, but for one graduate it was his much-needed break and a return to normalcy for a very brief short period of time. >> i know a lot of kids lost family members. i mean, i know tons of people that lost their homes. so it's one of those things that they thought about moving it back to where they could go to funerals and stuff like that. >> so you're glad it's today? >> i'm glad it's today.

it means to me we're not going on different routes, we're staying on the same path that we were meant to be on. >> some more encouraging words from the valedictorian of south moore high school. they said we are damaged, but we survived. we are hurt, but we are resilient. we are graduating, but we are not done with our successes. just indicative of the spirit here and the character of a lot of these residents in oklahoma who have dealt with a lot in the last few days. poppy. >> absolutely. nick valencia, thanks for all your work on the ground there. appreciate it. well, this is a very disturbing story. a 17-year-old oregon high school student will be in court on tuesday because he'll be answering charges related to an alleged plot to set off bombs in his high school. investigators in albany, oregon, say that grant alan accord had built six types of bombs including pipe bombs and ne pam. they were found below the

floorboards in the boy's bedroom. the teen will be charged as an adult for attempted aggravated murder. cnn has been attempting to reach accord or any attorney representing him. now, to the crime that has shocked the world. the search is on for answers in the brutal killing of a british soldier right in broad daylight on the streets of london. this weekend there have been arrests, new arrests in this case. i want to go right to london and our erin mclaughlin. >> hi, poppy. three individuals were arrested in connection with the investigation into the woolwich murder. those individuals arrested on conspiracy to commit murder. two of them were tasered before being taken into custody. we don't know why they were tasered. and officials are also not naming these particular suspects in an investigation that is turning out to be incredibly complex and fast moving. in total some eight individuals have been arrested since

wednesday. of those individuals, three of them, two women and one man, have been released from police custody. the man was released on bail. now, as for the two suspects that were arrested at that grisly crime scene on wednesday, they remain in hospital in stable condition under armed guard. poppy. >> erin staying on top of it for us. thanks so much, erin. appreciate it. coming up in the next half hour of the show today, we're going to talk about the issue of extremism. how does extremism in any religion lead someone to commit violent acts in the name of religion? that's in our faces of faith. coming up next, the parents of a 10-year-old girl are challenging the rules of organ donation as they fight to save their daughter sarah's life. you see her right there. they're going to join me next. when our little girl was born,

[ male announcer ] now get 50% off brake pads and shoes at meineke. this is a picture of 10-year-old sarah. she may only have a few weeks left to live. she was born with cystic fibrosis. she needs a lung transplant immediately, but as her parents only recently learned, sarah's age makes that incredibly

difficult. and now they are trying to change the rules that govern lung donation for young children. if not in time to help their daughter, then to help others like her. our zain asher has their story. >> 10-year-old sarah wants to be a singer. ♪ how i wonder what you are >> her mother says if she gets a new pair of lungs next few weeks, her dreams could one be a reality. >> i'm not going to tell her she's dying because she's 10. >> sarah was born with cystic fibrosis, an illness that's damaged her lungs beyond repair. >> i used to go to school before i got oxygen. got to go to school and at least

act like i was other children. >> we knew at some point she would need new lungs. we had hoped it would be much, much further down the road. but over the years her disease has progressed. >> if sarah was 12 years old, she'd have a higher chance of receiving adult lungs, but since she's 10, she primarily has access to children's lungs, which are in shorter supply. >> that's insane. it shouldn't be about their age. if she's the sickest person, she should qualify. >> under the rules, the only way sarah could receive an adult lung is if the other patients in her region who are aged 12 and older turned it down first. >> it tugs at my heart. it's not a perfect system. there is no perfect system. it's the best we can do right now. >> dr. sweet is a board member at the united network for organ sharing. he helped write the pediatric transplant rules. >> so if i change the system to give sarah an advantage, there's another patient very likely an adolescent who then gets a

disadvantage. and i am not in a position, and i don't think the system should be in a position, to do that on a case-by-case basis. we built a system tries to be as fair to everyone as possible. >> with the clock ticking on sarah's life. >> but it's so hard to get pediatric lungs. >> her mother is still working on a solution. her options though are limited. >> maybe it's too late for sarah. i don't know. but it's not right. i'm going to fight for the next person's kid. >> sarah still has hope. >> i'm not going for easy. i'm just going for possible. >> the possibility of living, of maybe one day realizing her dreams. >> we can do it if you try, try. >> zain asher, cnn, philadelphia. >> and we're joined this morning by skype by sarah's mom and dad, janet and fran. they're in center city, pennsylvania.

welcome to you both. thank you for being with us. >> thank you, poppy. >> thank you. >> first let me ask, how is sarah doing this morning? >> she's stable. she's sleeping this morning. and we're short of stable on the edge of this knife that we're on. >> yeah. you know, when you look at the numbers here, it's clear that lungs, organs really for transplant for youth, pediatric organs, are much more rare, they're harder to come by than adult organs. and when you look at that, your daughter sarah may be more likely to receive a lung if she were just a couple years older. so your doctors i know went to the national lung review board and basically asked them to bend the rules in sarah's case. what happened? >> so they were denied the appeal. >> were you told why? >> i was told that it's more of a computerized system and it's not -- it's something that the appeal's put in and the appeal's denied. at this point our best hope is other transplant centers

allowing sarah to compete on her l.a.s. score. so our hope is not to be above anyone else who is sicker, our hope is to let sarah compete based on how sick she is. >> okay. so i want to play for our viewers some sound. this comes from a doctor you heard from in zain's piece, also board member for the united network for organ sharing, they oversee the organ transplant in the united states. here's part of what he told zain asher. >> one of the challenges that exist in the current allocation system is that there is a boundary between children under 12 and children and adults over 12 for the way the allocation process works. and right now there's no way within the computer system to make a child like sarah appear to be over 12 to get access to those organs. >> so i want your reaction to that. >> i understand where he's coming from. and understanding the system

that was in place now was designed around 2005, 2008. i don't see any reason why there would be an issue now, especially with they're talking about computer system and the advanced analytics and the software out there nowadays. there's no reason you couldn't put in a dummy date if needed to change in the system. >> this is something you just learned about recently in terms of how exactly this system works. i certainly didn't know about it before zain was reporting on this story the way that it works. is part of your goal here ultimately to make this much more widely known? i know that there is a petition on change.org right now. >> yeah. there's a petition on change.org. part of our goal here is to change this. we didn't know it. our daughter was listed for pediatric lungs to start out with. and for the first year, you know, was fairly stable and it wasn't until she became unstable that we listed for adult lungs. and we didn't find out sort of

until we got pretty far into the wait for adult lungs when our number got really competitive and i started to think why aren't we getting offers when i know the number is competitive enough that we should be getting offers. and that's when i dug in and asked some questions and realized that we weren't getting offers because sarah's sickness wasn't competing the way everyone over 12 was competing. everyone 12 and over is competing based on how ill they are. and that's just natural emergency medicine. you treat the sickest patient first. doesn't matter how old they are, you treat the sickest patient first. my daughter's one of the sickest people in this region. and all we want is for her to be treated in order of how ill she is. >> i know. we're looking at some beautiful -- we are looking at some beautiful pictures of your daughter who has this great, great spirit. i know she wants to be a singer. and i'm wondering, she's been on the list for 18 months. can you tell us where things stand now for her? how her prospects look now of

getting a lung donation to be able to get that transplant? >> well, right now our greatest hope is pediatric lungs still because, you know, both where we are with the adult lungs. we are appealing and pushing the regional hospitals and regional transplant centers who have all received us really kindly to let sarah compete on her l.a.s. score. and our understanding is that while it can't be changed in the computer system, these transplant centers could decide on an individual basis to let sarah compete on how sick she is. and our hope and our prayer is that they will hear our plea, they will see sarah and realize this is the way medicine should be managed. the sickest patient should be cared for first. so that's our push. beyond that we have a petition on change.org. >> i think we may have unfortunately just lost fran and janet there. we'll try to get them back. luckily we were able to get through most of the interview

with them and hear from them about sarah and about all of this in what they're trying to do right now. again, our thanks to them and our thoughts with the entire family and with sarah. again, the family has set up a petition at change.org. you can search her name at the top of the page. also her mom has a facebook page devoted to her daughter's fight for survival. you can also find out more information about these transplant rules, how they work, why they work this way. it's at www.unos.org. coming up next, we're going to take you to a new jersey town still feeling the effect of superstorm sandy on this memorial day weekend seven months after the storm. what they're doing to prevent damage like that again. vietnam in 1972.

hey there everyone. welcome back to "cnn sunday morning." i'm poppy harlow. bottom of the hour here on the east coast. first, san antonio, texas, emergency workers rescued more than 200 people caught by flash floods. at least two people died in those floods. two women were swept away by the water yesterday. also, there is word that a teenager may still be missing. he reportedly was trying to cross a creek when he disappeared. the flood waters are expected to recede today, that is good news. a lot of rain is not expected today, thank goodness. drivers in seattle are being forced to find a detour this holiday weekend because that bridge you see right there is collapsed. that happened on thursday when it was hit by an oversized truck. the driver says he heard a big boom before the collapse. the truck was too tall for the bridge, but there was apparently no sign on the structure saying how tall it was. the president, president obama heading to oklahoma this

morning. he'll be touring the tornado-damaged city of moore. he will meet with several families there. he'll also meet with those who lost their loved ones. and he'll thank first responders. the president has pledged his support to the region as it recovers and rebuilds. in new york, gabby giffords offered graduates of bard college the same advice she gave u.s. senators regarding gun legislation, be bold, be courageous. that is what she said. giffords appeared at bard's comme commencement. the former arizona representative shot in the head in 2011 resigned from congress in january to focus on her recovery. and it was a dark, wet morning in boston on saturday, but nothing could dampen the spirits. thousands of runners ran the last mile of the boston marathon. they returned to complete what they had trained so long and so

hard to do. and of course to honor the victims of last month's bombing. the one run event was organized by boston running clubs and local businesses. good for them. it was a shocking crime. and it was committed in broad daylight on the streets of london. a british soldier brutally killed by two attackers wielding meat cleavers. one of the suspects on camera after that horrific slaying saying the only reason we killed this man is because muslims are dying daily. the british soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. this is a message of extremism, religious extremism. and in today's faces of faith, we're going to explore this. we're going to explore extremism. what drives a follower of any religion to extremism to commit violent acts in the name of religion? so i want to bring in two experts to talk to us about this. i'm joined by charles kimball,

author of "when religion becomes lethal." also with me a former leader in the global islamist movement, now a human rights and democracy activist. he is author of "radical, my journey out of islamic extremism." so thank you both for joining us. i appreciate it. >> good to be here. >> it's a pleasure. >> madrid, start with you. your story is fascinating. you say you became radicalized at age 16. i wonder what drove you there and then what brought you back here to where you are today. >> yes. there are generally four factors that lead to somebody traveling the path of radicalization from any religious context whether it's the islamist context or far right wing movements. one, a sense of grievance. somebody has to be very angry, very aggrieved to start

considering alternative identities and adopting a subculture. the second is what i call an identity crisis, because from that grievance the person start disconnecting from mainstream society and distancing themselves both in terms of empathy, but also in terms of belonging from the society in which they were born. and that's a crucial stage, that identity crisis, because it then allows them they feel somewhere else and don't belong to the very people they will eventually go onto target. the third one, a charismatic recruiter steps in at this stage and provides a sense of belonging, pretty much like a gang people in the united states have to deal with a lot. he or she provides an alternative sense of belonging. and then the fourth one comes along, which is the fourth factor, the ideological narrative. that charismatic recruiter will sell to that vulnerable individual a narrative that would seem to explain away all of the world's problems. and as we heard from the killer on the streets of london in

woolwich when he said muslim troops are dying. if this anti-west victimhood narrative as if muslims are the only victims in the world and the only ones dying and the only one killing is non-muslims. that's a half truth. the problem with this narrative is it's not based on lies. it's easy to uncover a lie, but it's based on half-truths. they only uncover half of the story so this young and angry teenager doesn't realize that in fact there's a complete picture there that they're missing. for example, more muslims in pakistan have died due to taliban terrorism than due to u.s. military strikes. so why would this young man not turn into a suicide bomber against the taliban? but that's an example where the narrative falls apard. >> maajid, i want charles to jump in here. he explained the four points, he's written about them and frankly himself experienced many of them. you write about the warning signs. can you talk to us about warning signs that people can see before

something like this happening? >> yeah. and they dovetail i think very much with what maajid was just saying. there is a kind of absolutism that's involved, a kind of narrative that takes over. there's an absolute truth claim where in the end the end justifies the means. we saw that in the boston bombing case, we saw that in this case where the message is clear that there's this incredible grievance that's felt. and i can do something about it. when you throw in charismatic leadership often and the religious narrative that paints all of this in a broader picture of ultimate meaning, it's a very powerful combination for at least some individuals. >> i want to talk about some other examples here. let's talk about scott roader, people may know that name, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for killing the late-term abortion doctor, george tiller. this happened in tiller's church

three years ago. and roeder was a born-again christian. he said the killing was justified because he was protecting unborn children. is that an example the ends justifies the means that you're talking about? >>. >> -- there's no question about it. >> go ahead, charles. >> i would say, yes, it's a prime example where people cite the ten commandments as being so central, one is thou shalt not kill, and here are people both in the case of dr. tiller in kansas in 2009, a presbyterian minister in florida, we had another doctor killed in new york state where the remedy for those who are killing in this view is to murder them. and the end justifies the means. so they're doing the very thing, sadly, in the name of religion, that they say they stand against. >> i want maajid to jump in here. we're running out of time, but one thing you have said before on cnn that i found fascinating is that we as a culture and perhaps outside of just america

globally targeting individuals is a mistake. that the focus needs to be on targeting ideas. can you explain that for us? >> yes. so if we recognize the power of the narrative and how that becomes a brand that thousands of angry young teenagers from whichever religious background join whichever extremist cause, then the focus must be on discrediting that brand. but if we do actions that only reinforce that narrative such as targeted killings, illegal sort of, you know, torture and rendition, these actions of our foreign policy, if they end up reinforcing the extremist narrative, we're giving power to that brand. we should be focusing on the inverse of the knneo conservati culture impose on the grass roots instead of from the top down and also instead of just basically focusing on increasing targeted drone strikes which i call in the old conservatism light. >> i appreciate both of your time this morning. a fascinating conversation.

we will have you back again. thank you. >> pleasure. >> thank you. >> thank you both. for more stories on faith, be sure to check out our belief blog. a lot of fascinating stuff there at cnn.com/belief. well, the supreme court is ready to make history. several landmark decisions on the horizon possibly as early as tomorrow. we've got a preview. ♪ [ male announcer ] how do you engineer a true automotive breakthrough? ♪ you give it bold styling, unsurpassed luxury and nearly 1,000 improvements. the redesigned 2013 glk. see your authorized mercedes-benz dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services. through mercedes-benz she's always been able it's just her way.day. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready.

it. >> considering whether california's proposition 8 band is constitutional. and in a second case, if the defense of marriage act can deny same-sex couples the same federal benefits as heterosexual ones. >> i think it's going to be good. >> that case was brought by edith windsor, a nrk woman who had to pay higher estate taxes when her wife died than someone in a heterosexual marriage would have. >> i think it will validate the federal law says we won't recognize state same-sex marriages, but in the california proposition 8 case, the justices seem unlikely to require under the constitution every state to recognize same-sex marriage. the ruling may not be a huge gay rights victory at all, but i doubt it's going to be a significant loss either. >> another case involves the kind of genetic testing that let actress angelina jolie to undergo a double mastectomy. whether products of nature can be patented.

athena jones, cnn, washington. well, new details are surfacing that the parent company of fox news was aware years ago that the justice department was targeting one of its reporters in a leak investigation. this is something fox news is just now acknowledging. this comes after a law enforcement source told cnn that the justice department notified a media organization almost three years ago of a subpoena for detailed phone records. and a second source told cnn that organization was fox news. after news of the subpoena broke saturday, a fox news executive told cnn the outlet's parent company, that is news corporation, was notified of the subpoena by the justice department in may of 2010. but fox news itself apparently never got the word. fox and other news organizations have been highly critical of the justice department's aggressive pursuit of leak investigations involving reporters, but fox had said nothing about the 2010 subpoena. the subpoena was part of an

investigation of steven kim, a former state department worker accused of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information to fox news reporter james rosen. now, one law enforcement source told cnn and this is a quote here "in the investigation that led to the indictment of stephen kim, the government issued subpoenas for -- the government issued subpoenas for toll records -- telephone records, for five phone numbers associated with the media." "consistent with department of justice policies and procedure, the government provided notification of those subpoenas nearly three years ago by certified mail, by fax and e-mail." up until now the focus has been on a separate search warrant for personal e-mails of the man you see on your screen there, james rosen. fox news indicated it learned of just recently. while fox news is now acknowledging notified the

parent company about the phone record search, that noes anotice apparently didn't include anything about the separate search of rosen's e-mail. so that is the latest on that story we continue to follow. coming up next, we are remembering our u.s. servicemen and women on this memorial day weekend. our hats off to all of them. we'll be right back. in miami, coca-cola is coming together with latino leaders to support hispanicize, and the adelante movement. teaching tools for success, and fostering creativity. these programs are empowering people to lead positive change, and helping them discover how great a little balance can feel. through initiatives like these, our goal is to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make, together. nehey!r!

80 thousand of us investing billions... in everything from the best experiences below... to the finest comforts above. we're not simply saluting history... we're making it. all right. time for bleacher report now. let's bring in joe carter. joe, this is interesting. i guess the only thing the grizzlies can do now is what no nba team has ever done before. >> yeah, they have a lot of making up to do. basically memphis has to win four games in a row to advance to the western conference finals, but no team in nba history's ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series. memphis was unbeaten on their

home floor in the playoffs. they had a chance to keep that streak going last night. in the final seconds they found themselves with the chance to win. the game was tied at 86, but the shot would not fall, which forced overtime. that's when the spurs took total control of the game. san antonio cruised in overtime. they won the game by 11 points. now the spurs just stand one win away from sweeping that series. this is awesome video. great finish in the rockies-giants game yesterday. san francisco's down by one run in the tenth. angel pagan hits it off the wall. that scores the tying run. pagan's got a triple, right? instead he pushes it one base further. the third base coach practically running by his side wishing him home. he beats the throw. a walk-off inside the park home run. incredible finish. the giants would go onto win 6-5. another piece of great video for you. a sideline reporter from milwaukee gets hit by a stray

baseball during her live report. best part, totally unphased, picks the mic back up and continues her live report. number one rule, in live television, if anything happens, just keep going. >> yeah, i think she handled that much better than i would have. shout-out to her on that one. joe, thank you. tomorrow, memorial day, you don't have to wait to start your cookout. for a lot of folks a lot of nice weather across the country, not everywhere, but many places. karen maginnis here with a quick holiday forecast. >> poppy, we are watching potential for severe weather all the way from texas extending into the central plains and headed up towards the northern tier states even into montana. we have seen reports come out of south dakota of baseball-size hail. we could see some large hail, damaging winds and the possibility of a tornado or two. sunny skies will eventually prevail across the northeast. and temperatures fairly warm. we'll look at 80s across the upper midwest. and chicago a high temperature of 82. >> pretty nice there. thanks so much, karen. appreciate it.
