>> all my favorite things. >> good morning, i'm christine romans. >> and i'm john berman. it is wednesday, may 29th. welcome to "starting point." we're tracking a lot of extreme weather across the u.s. this morning. just take a look at this right now. this massive twister touching down in northern kansas overnight, homes damaged, power lines down, you have to take a look at this map. nearly the entire country under some form of severe weather today. we're talking wildfires out in the west. more twister forecast in the heartland. you know, here in the east, the first heat wave of the year, our indra peterson is tracking all of this wild weather. and it is everywhere from coast to coast. >> literally hard to pick one spot to talk about. we're going to start you off in the northeast where yesterday you saw temperatures drop down in the 60s, and now we're talking about 20, 25 degree temperature jump out there. look at the warm front cruising through. in addition to that, we're going to see a cold front slide just to the north of us and all of that is going to produce a slight risk for severe storms even in the new england area.

wildfires on the west coast. unfortunately conditions are not going to be improving. winds gusting as high as 60 miles per hour and temperatures there also expected to soar into the weekend with the potential for some triple digit heat. big story today, though, remains that dry heat in the west, really banking up now to the warm, humid air coming out of the gulf. the key is the low has exited the rockies that did produce some rain and now that is going to produce that tornado risk today. so there is a moderate risk out there. unfortunately the bull's-eye for this involves three million people right again over wichita and oklahoma, really kansas and oklahoma there. the broader risk of this involves 60 million of us. everyone needs to pay attention. a tornado outbreak is possible today. i also want to show you this kind of looks like. show you real quickly what it already looks like. great video for you. >> this thing's monstrous.

>> late tuesday, a new round of tornadoes ripped through the heartland. this massive twister tearing through kansas, leaving downed trees and power lines in its wake. in the middle of it all storm chaser sean casey reported live on cnn there. >> sean, i understand you're chasing a tornado right now. what's going on? >> see this is my first interview while looking at a tornado. so, we were hoping it's going to come up onto our road and we will drive right up to the southern half. >> reporter: just one day before casey's team captured this rare and frightening video inside a tornado in smith county, kansas. the potential for supercell thunderstorms, damaging winds, and hail threaten a number of states from texas to new england today. in the plains, strong, damaging tornadoes are possible. in areas like oklahoma, already littered with damage,

meteorologists warn of high wind gusts kicking up and carrying dangerous debris across the area. meanwhile further north, severe storms blew in to michigan and pennsylvania overnight. damage was reported outside detroit and near erie, pennsylvania. and on the west coast, a different kind of weather danger. dry conditions fueling wildfires in santa barbara, california. scorching over 1800 acres in los padres national forest. in valencia, helicopters attacked the blaze from above as brushfires near magic mountain theme park burned 25 acres in less than an hour. and look at this. just to the east of the fires, this massive dust storm bringing traffic to a standstill. finally, in the northeast, weather whiplash. from snow just four days ago, to what could be a record-breaking heat wave. temperatures rising double digits across most of the region. i mean a lot of wacky weather out there. again i cannot stress enough this is the time of year we do

have tornadoes in tornado alley. but days like these, the potential outbreak are the days where minutes can save lives. >> we know last week 16 minutes meant the difference between life and death. thanks so much, indra. new fallout over the benghazi talking points. late tuesday congressional committee subpoenaed ten current former state department officials. they want to see paperwork and they want to see communications from the state department's number two and the top aide to then-secretary of state hillary clinton. white house correspondent brianna keilar following these new developments for us this morning. brianna, the white house has already released 100 pages of e-mails about the developments in benghazi. what is it, what more is it that the oversight committee is looking for? >> well, in a word it is just more. that's it, christine. republicans still allege that the obama administration misled americans in the lead-up to the presidential election. as to the cause of the attack in benghazi, removing specific references to terror in those

cia-authored talking points. and the committee wants to see more when it comes to those talking points and how the state department was involved in suggesting some of those changes. those obviously were used, those talking points used by u.n. ambassador susan rice in the days following the attacks where she said repeatedly publicly she referenced a spontaneous demonstration in benghazi, as the potential cause of it. i will tell you, though, christine, the state department officials there feel that they have been forthcoming. the white house feels this is straight up a fishing expedition. you heard president obama call it a side show. >> brianna keilar thank you so much. at the white house this morning. fire caused by a collision between a truck and a freight train full of chemicals fully under control this morning. federal officials are on the scene in baltimore where several of the derailed cars exploded and burst into flames yesterday. that blast was felt blocks away. as clouds of black and white smoke filled the area firefighters were able to rescue

the trapped truck driver. railroad officials tell firefighters the burning substances were not toxic. >> we've received word from csx that there's no toxic inhalants, which is really just a reassurance to the area that it's not an unsafe area. you don't have to evacuate. >> residents of about 70 homes in the area were told they could leave if they felt threatened but they were not forced to evacuate. several industrial buildings in the area were damaged. the arizona mother of seven, grandmother of two, accused of trying to smuggle 12 pounds of marijuana out of mexico, she will be back in court today trying to convince a judge to set her free. her family says yanira maldonado is not a drug smuggler and that she was arrested by authorities. she says the authorities were looking for bribe money. cnn's casey wian is following all these developments for us live in good 3 year, arizona. what's the latest, casey? >> good morning, john.

it's a week ago that yanira maldonado was taken into custody in mexico. her family says wrongfully. mexican authorities say they found more than 12 pounds of marijuana under the seat that she was sitting in a bus coming back from her grandmother's funeral. well, she -- the family had hoped she would be out of jail as early as yesterday. there was a court hearing in mexico, where several witnesses, her husband, her husband's father, the woman that brought her to the bus station, among those testifying. court officials made it clear that she was not going to be released yesterday. very disappointing for the family. i spoke with her daughter, a very emotional anna soto, last night. >> to everyone because of this, that's who i'm angry at. the people that put my mom in prison. without having evidence. >> now we're going to see what kind of evidence there is in

this case, if any, when the mexican military personnel who apprehended yanira maldonado, they're expected to testify at that closed court hearing later today. in mexico. family believes the decision will be made by the judge before the end of the week. they hope it is in their mother's favor, because if the judge decides to hold her, our understanding from legal experts is she could be held in a mexican prison for up to four months before there's a trial. >> wow. four months. casey wian for us in arizona this morning. next hour we're going to speak with yanira's daughter anna soto. you just heard her emotional words there before. we will ask her how her mother is doing this morning. tea party favorite michele bachmann says she will not seek a fifth term in congress. bachmann made the announcement in a video posted this morning on youtube. and her website. >> our constitution allows for the decision of length of service in congress to be determined by the congresspeople themselves, or by the voters in the district. however, the law limits anypun

from serving as president of the united states for more than eight years. and in my opinion, well eight years is also long enough for an individual to serve as a representative for a specific congressional district. >> bachmann says her closer than expected win in her last race, and a congressional ethics probe into her presidential run had nothing to do with her decision. >> the subject of politics an unlikely political marriage forged in the days after superstorm sandy and before the 2012 presidential election, it is renewed. president obama and governor chris christie resuming their bromance with a romantic tour of the jersey shore yesterday promoting a big summer comeback. seven months after the storm. a credit they say to cooperation between federal and state governments. christie, no coincidence, is up for re-election this year and is considered a potential republican presidential consender in 2016. >> so once he returned to washington the president hosted a white house reception for asian-american and pacific heritage month. listen to him joking with the guests, not to give you any

ideas about that lipstick on his collar. >> i want to thank everybody who is here, the incredible warmth of the reception. a sign of the warmth is the lipstick on my collar. i have to say, i think i know the culprit. where is jessica sanchez? jessica, it wasn't jessica, it was her aunt. where is she? auntie, right there. look at this. look at this. i just want everybody to witness. so i do not want to be in trouble with michelle. that's why i'm calling you out. right in front of everybody. >> quite an alibi there. by the way the president was referring to the aunt of singer jessica sanchez who was a runner-up on american idol. >> i feel for the president. i'm one of the few men in america who often gets makeup on his collar. and it's my own makeup. i'm always telling my wife, no, honey, it's just my makeup. really. >> ahead on "starting point"

good morning, welcome back. it may take more than a few lewd photos and a fall from grace to keep anthony weiner down. he participated in his first debate yesterday and he's gaining ground in his bid to become the next mayor of new york. national political correspondent jim acosta is with us this morning. if the polls are rate, the latest polls are right, new yorkers seem to be in a forgiving mood when it comes to

anthony weiner. >> they are. we have seen this movie before. just not here in new york city. anthony weiner said he wants new york city voters to give him a second chance and judging by the latest polls in the race for mayor of the big apple it looks like he may be getting one. to the political pundits writing off anthony weiner in the race for new york city mayor, don't say forget about it just yet. >> you can have a safe classroom where teachers can teach and students can learn. >> reporter: the former congressman who resigned in disgrace after posting lewd photos online received a warm welcome at his first candidate's debate. and he's getting a serious look from the voters. the latest marist poll shows he's gaining fast, just five points behind the front-runner in the race for the democratic nomination christine quinn. what's more 53% of voters say weiner deserves a second chance. while 39% say he lacks the character to be mayor. >> are you getting a second chance? is that what this means? >> i have said from the moment i got in this race, that i, you know, honor the idea that people are going to have questions of me. but for the most people the questions people have been

asking have been about the things that affect their families. >> reporter: citing a scheduling conflict he dropped out of the debate at the last minute, even though the organizers admit she helped set the date. >> of course we're disappointed in that. >> reporter: but weiner didn't seize on quinn's absence in his typical bombastic style. >> i can't speak for any other candidate but look -- >> reporter: at least publicly weiner has changed. now the subject of tabloid punch lines he often talks about the lessons he's learned the hard way. it's almost the same approach used by congressman mark sanford in his successful bid for redemption in south carolina. but in new york, the zingers fly fast. many now aimed at the bull's-eye on weiner's back. last week, new york governor andrew cuomo told a newspaper, quote, shame on us if weiner is elected. cuomo told reporters he was only kidding. >> that was my comment on the mayoral race, and we'll now let them run their race, and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: at the debate, weiner joked he can handle the governor.

>> honestly, he started it. >> okay. and we'll see who finishes it. while the polls do offer hope for anthony weiner he shouldn't get too excited just yet. if no candidate receives 40% of the vote in this fall's democratic primary there would be a runoff and in a head-to-head match-up in that same poll, quinn brushes weiner by 15 points. so, he's a long way from being totally back in business. but, it's a very, very promising start. >> this poll got a lot of people's attention now. how close is he really? how realistic is the comeback? joining me senior political writer for politico.com. maggie, he's five points back. and there's another number here, 53% saying that anthony weiner deserves a second chance. should this really be a shock to us right now? >> no, it shouldn't be. because people do like a comeback story. this is right on the heels of the mark sanford victory. this is a very different scenario. that was a house race. this is a mayor's race. i still think anthony weiner has a very long way to go in terms of an actual run here. if he makes a runoff, which he

could do, he's going to have a hard time getting out of one. >> what are the issues for christine quinn? she skipped this sort of debate yesterday. how does she have to run against anthony weiner? >> you can't run by saying that you're going to attend something and then not attend something. i don't think that looks very good. she has to sort of ignore him to the extent that she can. but her problem is not so much anthony weiner as the idea that she looks like, "a," an insider, "b," too close to bloomberg, and "c," people believe she doesn't really stand for thinking. think question what at her core. weiner looks like the outsider right now. he is the principled outsider -- >> sleeves rolled up, tie loosened. >> nobody's endorsing him. he's outside of the system. that actually helps you. >> i want to talk about what's happening in michele bachmann not going to run stand for the fifth for the fifth term. what do you make of that? >> an eight-minute i'm not running video with a score to go along with it was quite something. i think this comes, as we know, amid a federal investigation into her campaign issues.

and a congressional investigation, and i can't imagine that one does not have something to do with the other. >> she avoids, in theory, the congressional investigation sort of just evaporate. >> correct. >> i don't know that that will go away. she certainly answers one question. >> do you think -- she mentioned that eight years is long enough for a president, that should be long enough for me to serve the people of minnesota. >> i think her time was in 2012. by the time we get to 2016 there's going to be a whole new face of the tea party. >> maggie, lots to talk about. thanks for coming in. >> ahead on "starting point." apple ready to chain the world again. will the we will be wearing our gadgets next? >> and then there is this. you will not believe this. miss canada, but which one? the beauty pageant mix-up that has everyone asking will the real miss canada please stand up. we're going to sort this out if that's even possible. you're watching "starting point." we went out and asked people a simple question:

welcome back to "starting point" everyone, i'm john berman. >> and i'm christine romans. investigators are still trying to figure out the cause of that terrifying fire aboard the royal caribbean cruise ship "grandeur of the seas." more than 2,000 passengers found themselves stranded in the bahamas monday, halfway through their vacation. as erin mcpike reports many of them are now talking about their harrowing ordeal. >> reporter: three days before their vacation was scheduled to end the first of 2200 royal caribbean cruise ship passengers returned safely to the port of baltimore tuesday.

the "grandeur of the seas" journey was cut short by a fire aboard at 3:00 a.m. monday morning. >> pretty terrifying at first. >> in the water you could see the glow of the fire. but we had no idea how big the fire really was. >> i think people were just in shock, and it was early, and just wondering what was going on. >> reporter: some passengers said when they saw lifeboats lowered they thought the "grandeur of the seas" was sinking. it was the latest scare in what has been a string of debacles for the cruise industry. last year, 32 people died when the costa "concordia" capsized off the coast of italy. carnival's "triumph" stranded passengers in the gulf of mexico in february and carnival's "dream" left others without power in march. executive director of the global maritime center richard burke says the incidents don't spell out a pattern for the industry. >> they're among the safest ships afloat. >> reporter: the latest black eye for the industry intensifies the public relations problems they face, but attorney john

hickey says passengers have little recourse in nightmarish vacations. >> if passengers don't have any physical injuries or the threat of physical injury, they're, you know, basically under the terms of the ticket and the federal statute, not allowed to sue. >> reporter: royal caribbean is giving full refunds and vouchers for future cruises to the "grandeur of the seas" passengers. and some say they will cruise again. erin mcpike, cnn, baltimore, maryland. and our thanks to erin for that story. we're also following new developments in the amazing rescue of a newborn baby in china. the infant was pulled from a narrow sewer pipe beneath a public rest room and now we're learning who the mother is, and how she says her baby went down the toilet. cnn's david mckenzie is live in beijing. a lot of people wondering how on earth this could have happened. >> well, john, that's a very good question. really extraordinary story, and also, it appears, apparently, that this could have been some kind of awful accident.

and i must warn viewers that some of this footage is pretty shocking. it was the amazing video seen around the world. the racing against time to save this baby from a sewage pipe in china. today we have new pictures of the baby, resting comfortably. drinking formula. and recovering in icu. doctors say he should be okay. incredible, when you consider what he went through. alarmed neighbors called first responders he they heard crying, and saw a tiny foot. tearing away the pipe, they can't reach the baby wedged inside. pipe and child rushed to a nearby hospital. surgeons and firefighters gingerly using pliers to rescue the infant. revealing a newborn boy. afterbirth still attached. on local tv police saying it could have been an awful mistake.

>> translator: the woman started to feel a stomachache and rushed to the toilet. after she stayed in the toilet for awhile she gave birth to a baby. she tried to grab something to help herself because there was too much blood. she couldn't hold the baby anymore and he slid in the sewage through the hole in the toilet. >> reporter: investigations are still ongoing and the boy is recovering in icu. police posted these pictures of him online. they say rescuers brought blankets and formula, deeply touched by his ordeal. without a name just patient 59, an innocent boy miraculously surviving a terrible ordeal against incredible odds. well, john, quite an incredible story, and we're hearing from police there that the woman who gave birth to this child is in hospital. they're not saying yet whether she will be charged. they believe that it might have been a terrible accident. a lot of soul searching here in china. a lot of amazed viewers around the world, at the story of such

incredible survival. john? >> truly a miracle baby. david mckenzie in beijing. >> i have so many questions about that story. did she know she was pregnant? why didn't she call for help? why did the neighbors call for help? who is going to take care of the baby? here are your other top stories. prosecutors revealing details of their case against grant acord the oregon teenager accused of plotting to bomb his high school. they say the 17-year-old's plan allegedly included napalm bombs, firearms, and then committing suicide before police could get to him. acord, who is being charged as an adult, did not enter a plea when he appeared in court yesterday on a video feed from jail. bail is set at $2 million. so customers inside a liquor store in rhode island may have wanted to rethink that drink after seeing a shetland pony sauntering down the aisles. this is not common. even in rhode island. surveillance video shows this 51-year-old william leading his pony through the store as he shopped for some wine.

things got ugly when the pony made a mess, apparently he refused to clean it up until police forced him to take care of it. as you might imagine, a sign outside the store now says no dogs, or cats, or horses allowed. >> because if you only clean up the mess then it's okay to bring a pony in to the store. but you have to clean up after the pony. the glass ceiling may be lifting according to data from the u.s. census. moms are becoming the bread winners for a record number of american families and more married mothers than ever are outearning their husbands. check out the numbers. women in 40% of u.s. households with children are now the primary bredwinner. back in 1960, no surprise, that figure was a very low 11%. right now in this country, 5.1 million mothers make more money than their husbands. that makes up 37% of married households with kids. so this is the best news of the day. as you may know, my "early start" colleague zoraida sambolin, she took a break on friday, after being diagnosed with breast cancer. zoraida opted to have a preventive double mastectomy. so on tuesday, doctors in

chicago performed the procedure, you see her heading into surgery right there. here's the great news. they say the surgery went very, very well, so far they saw no signs at all that the cancer spread. we're going to look at more tests later today but zoraida is doing great. she is resting well. she is with her family right now. there's her son nico right now. they all report that they're doing well and great. that is terrific news and zoraida promises as soon as she can she's going to come back and share with us more about this journey again, that is the best news of the day. big news for us here on team "z." >> very strong woman surrounded by an awful lot of love and a lot of good wishes. ahead on "starting point" justin bieber draws the ire of former nfl star keyshawn johnson. seems the pop star, he's not being a very good neighbor. details behind the story that involved a ferrari, a prius and a rant on twitter. >> so he was a dream come true for like a second, and then it abruptly came to an end. we're going to speak with the contestants live about the

welcome back to "starting point." not much love for justin bieber these days in the gated california community that he calls home. neighbors say the singer's been speeding around in his white ferrari, treating local streets like the 101 freeway. one neighbor, who has a big beef with bieber, is a former nfl star. is that right? pamela brown is following this for us this morning. >> good morning. he's messing with the wrong people now. nfl stars twice his size, by the way, and he is upsetting his neighbors once again.

this is actually the second time in a little over two months that he's been accused of speeding through his neighborhood. and now we're hearing that he's refusing to talk to sheriff's deputies. justin bieber is known for dazzling fans all over the world. but it's his offstage antics that have the pop sensation's california neighbors upset. ♪ for the second time in two months, they accuse the singer of speeding through their calabasas neighborhood at breakneck speed. the los angeles county sheriff's department is investigating the latest incident. >> we got a couple of calls from two witnesses that said that they saw justin bieber driving recklessly in his white ferrari inside the gated community known as the oaks. this kind of behavior, if it did happen, cannot be done by anybody, at any time, anywhere.

>> reporter: the sheriff's department says bieber refused to speak with deputies sent to investigate, prompting this plea. >> please talk to us, tell us what you believe occurred. >> reporter: tmz reports bieber shut the door on someone else who wanted to ring his bell. former nfl star keyshawn johnson. the ex-new york jets player was sitting in his car with his child in calabasas when bieber sped by. he later reportedly confronted the young pop star outside his house. but bieber fled inside, possibly showing better judgment than he did while driving his ferrari. as a potential sparring partner, johnson measures 6'4". bieber, maybe 5'7". johnson weighs in at 212. bieber about half that. but in the past, the size differential hasn't prevented bieber from punching above his weight class. [ bleep ] >> what did you say? >> reporter: or at least trying to. in march he got into a scuffle with a hefty brit behind a camera.

things happen for a reason and i really wanted to ms. universe canada, and i won ms. universe canada, may not have ended exactly the as i had hoped for, but 24 hours i was ms. universe canada, and riza gets one fantastic year ahead of her. >> riza, didn't get the crown, the drama at the moment. the 24 hours of press interviews and the high of winning. do you feel like you missed out? >> i don't feel like i missed out. after denise was crowned. i was -- i was disappointed, because i felt like i did well in the competition, but i know denise as a person and i was happy for her genuinely, because she was just -- she is a great girl. know her for a couple of years now. i don't feel like i missed out. i have the opportunity to represent ms. canada on the world stage and during that time, a couple of dates to process, i only found out on

monday afternoon to process what had happened, and it was very humbling for me, and to actually find out i had one and i had this opportunity to represent canada on the world stage was a huge honor for me and very humbling at the same time. >> we know -- >> you get to go and compete in the ms. universe pageant. denise, what's next for you? >> well, actually for myself, i haven't even thought about that. i'm still dealing with a lot of interviews and a whirlwind of so much happening and with family, friend, my community. i haven't taken the time to step back and reassess my life. what is truly next for me? probably education, masters, med school, who knows what the future holds for me right now? i haven't taken the time to think about it. once i have time to rest properly and recollect my thoughts, i'll have a proper assessment of what is next for me. >> both of you, ms. universe

tornadoes in michigan and kansas. today, the threat strengthens, take a look at the weather setup. pretty much always the same. a low that has exited the rockies, warm, moist air out of gulf. the jet stream, really allows the system to turn. so the winds really up high in different directions, the winds at a lower level. that allows to us see the threat for lower level. the severe threat is enhanced compared to yesterday. unfortunately, similar to a week ago. looking at the bull's-eye around wichita, oklahoma city, but 30 to 60 million of you, your honor the slight risk. and still severe weather, isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, hail up to 2 1/2 inches could be seen. in the plains, not too much activity, we typically see when the sun comes out, fuels thunderstorms, and wildfires, high wind warnings, and winds

gusting as high as 60 miles per hour. video in lancaster, winds roaring out there. brought visibility on the 14 freeway and antelope valley to near zero. a lot of incidents. visibility zero. definitely a tough day for them. but, unfortunately, the biggest concern will remain the severe weather threat. >> no matter where you live, weather the big story this morning. thank you, indra. this just in to cnn. a local tribal official confirms the number one two man in a country has been killed in a drone strike. intelligence official says and two other men died in north waziristan, the taliban will neither confirm nor deny the deaths. michele bachmann says she will not seek a fifth term in congress. she made the announcement in a video posted this morning on youtube and also her website. >> our constitutional lous for the decision of length of service in congress to be

determined by the congresspeople themselves or by the voters in the district. however, the law prevents anyone from serving the united states is more than eight years. in my opinion, eight years is long enough for an individual to serve as a representative for a specific congressional district. >> jim acosta here to talk about what this means for washington, for the tea party, for michele bachmann. >> i think this was a stunner. nobody really saw this coming overnight, released this video in the wee hours of the morning and basically says in the video, john and christine, this has nothing to do with winning re-election in 2014, although she beat the challengers last time around, jim gray by a slim margin. running again in this race, and he possessed a major threet to hear future in that district. it has nothing to do with the office of congressional ethics investigation and into her presidential campaign that is

still a penning matter for her, and it is interesting to know, she did not rule out a comeback of some sort in the future. a lot of questions that she leaves unanswered in this video. it's interesting. a couple of weeks ago, i was standing out there with her in front of the congress when she held that big tea party news conference, when a big republicans coming out. mitch mcconnell, ted cruz, and it seemed like a big moment for the tea party with the irs investigation and so forth and talking about, perhaps the president might need to be impeached. what does he know? when did he know it? seemed to be back on top again, and all of a sudden the stunning announcement she won't be running for re-election. >> what's next for her? a bright light in the tea party movement. what happens next for her? >> they still see her as a star, a leader, i don't think the tea party caucus has much trouble finding a new leader in the congress. they have winds at their backs

once again, but i do think that, you know, she will be a presence republican politics here in the near future and keep in mind, won the ames, iowa, straw poll before the gop primaries got going and knocked tim pawlenty out of race. it is sort of amazing that she would drop this bombshell overnight, left everybody scratching their heads, wondering why she did this. she said it's not because of all of these reasons, but you have to entertain the notion that perhaps she is in trouble or would have been in trouble in 2014, all the questions being asked about her, a tough re-election battle. new fallout over the benghazi talking points. late tuesday, congressional committees subpoenaed ten current and former state department officials. they want paperwork and communications between state department number two and hillary clinton.

briana keel ar following new developments. white house already released 100 pages of e-mails about developments in benghazi what is it? what more is the oversight committee looking for? >> christine, the republican-let led committee wants more on how they suggested changes to the cia talking points in the immediate aftermath of the attack, xwoized a protests in benghazi as the cause of the attack. republicans allege the obama administration misleading on the role of terrorism. the state department says it has been forthcoming. it will look at the request. it will tell you at the white house, officials feel this is a fishing expedition and president obama said as much. called this a side show in recent weeks. >> it's interesting. sort of knocks out the economic message too. this is something that, you know, republicans just hammered the president under during the

election and the economy slowly healing, and all of the conversation about controversy in washington. briana keilar, thank you so much. the arizona woman accused of trying to smuggle 12 pounds of marijuana out of mexico back in court today, begging a judge to set her free. her family says mother of seven, not a drug smuggler, they claim she was arrested by corrupt officials looking for bribes. we'll talk to her daughter in a moment. casey wian following the developments live in good year, arizona. good morning, casey. >> reporter: good morning, christine. it is heart wrenching, speaking with family members of yanira maldonado who say she was wrongly jailed in mexico. yanira maldonado's family helped she would be released on at a court hearing on tuesday. but the mormon mother of seven will remain in a mexican jail at least another day. the family insists she has no involvement in drugs and is

being framed. >> whoever was the cause of this, that's who i am angry at. the people that put my mom in prison. without any evidence. >> reporter: maldonado arrested last week after mexican authorities said they found 12 pounds of marijuana your honor the seat of a commercial bus she was riding home in from a funeral with her husband gary. gary maldonado was asked to pay a $5,000 bribe for his wife's freedom. as he tried to raise the money, he was shipped off to jail. the family is encouraged by the evidence presented in court so far. this case is not unusual in mexico. where there has been a struggle to modernize its notoriously corrupt judicial system says mexican expert george grayson. >> the judicial system there is even more corrupt than the police. and when you are brought into a

judicial proceeding, you don't get to face your accuser, you don't have an automatic right to a lawyer, you may be held before you're brought to trial for some weeks, and it's a closed proceeding. >> in this case, the judge has the power to hold maldonado in prison up to four months before trial. that would likely bring more pressure from u.s. authorities. the office of senator jeff flake of arizona says that the senator has been in contact with the family as well as officials in mexico and the u.s. regarding the case. he will continue to monitor the situation. the situation now continues in a mexican courtroom. where members of the mexican courtroom who apprehended yanira mall ton addo are expected to testify today. >> yanira's daughter was able to visit with her mother briefly on saturday. and also is his father la?

law, larry maldonado. how is your mom holding up? >> you know, i don't know. i think -- i don't know -- i know she's scared. i know she has really wants to be let free. i know she -- she's scared. >> i know are you scared too. i can just tell. you must be terrified about what will happen if this goes forward toward a trial. four months just to get to the trial phase of all of this, you don't want her sitting there for any longer. you want -- you want her to be released. are authorities giving you any kind of indication that this could be over quickly? >> i mean, i have family members that were there yesterday, and we have high hopes, so i'm just

looking forward to that. hopefully friday. i'm praying that she will be home and be set free, released. >> so the military officials from the checkpoint who made this arrest, they are appearing in court today. what do you think they might say? we spoke to your father yesterday, who suggested that he thinks your mom may have been framed there. >> you know, i don't know what their plan is, what they are going to say. i really don't care. i know the truth. it's up to the judge, you know, to make that decision. but i know that whatever they say -- i'm praying that they are honest. honest policemen or soldiers, but we can only pray and hope.

>> and her husband is saying he fears they are not honest police and honest officials at that checkpoint. larry, how much longer -- the family must be in shock trying to figure out how to get her out of there. how is the american government and the mexican government been about getting this resolved? this is at this point an international incident, or should be. >> yes, senator flake has been very supportive and has contacted gary, and going to do everything they can to have diplomatic relations. and yesterday, it was because we had such a good day yesterday. not really a court, in a small room.

it doesn't leave a lot of room for family members, only able to go in one at a time. took about five hours. with the district attorney that is questioning. i believe our case is very strong. we had good witnesses yesterday and had some cross-examination today of their witnesses and that will turn out as strong as well. knowing what i know. >> larry maldonado, and anna societia. thank you for keeping us up to date on what's happening, and, please, let's talk again soon as this continues. >> we wish all the best. >> thank you. ahead on "starting point." what's in and out. what jurors can hear in the george zimmerman case and why this ruling could hurt his case. this bridal party really
