the killing of this british soldier. we'll have a live report from london. welcome to "around the world." i'm suzanne malveaux. >> and i'm michael holmes. thanks for your company today. that arizona mother of seven who was arrested in mexico for allegedly smuggling pot says she is innocent. >> yanira maldanado spoke to cnn from jail. this is nogales, mexico. rafael romo has the story. >> yanira maldanado was emotional from the moment she saw us escorted in to be interviewed. >> i'm not a criminal. this is not right. i need to be back with my family. i need to -- i need out of here. i need help. >> maldanado and her husband were returning by bus from the funeral of her aunt when mexican soldiers stopped the vehicle at
9:02 am
this checkpoint. passengers were taken off and the bus searched. the soldiers said they found several packages of marijuana under her seat, 5.7 kilos, more than 12 pounds. and she says asked her to pay $5,000. >> it's a lie what they're saying. and they say they found something under my seat. but i never saw anything. they didn't show me anything. it was just amazing all what they did. >> maldanado says authorities did not make it clear she was a suspect, but she knew there was trouble when federal agents started questioning her husband and her. >> i was in shock when they said it was me they want. because first they said it was my husband. >> taken into mexican federal custody, she was transferred to the state prison last friday where she's being held in a temporary cell away from other inmates. family members have been allowed brief visits.
9:03 am
now, your husband gary and your children are going to be listening to this and watching you. what do you want to tell them? >> that i love them very much. that i'm going to be -- they know i'm innocent. >> that belief is also held by a mexican state official with extensive knowledge of the case who told cnn it would have been almost impossible for her to carry that much marijuana on to the bus without something noticing. >> they have cameras on the terminal on the bus. and they haven't checked that. why they don't check for fingerprints? i don't have -- my fingerprints are not on the package or whatever they're saying that they found. >> maldanado says she has not been mistreated, but she's rethinking the advice she used to give friends about traveling to mexico on vacation. >> i used to tell people go to mexico, it's not true what
9:04 am
they're saying. i go every year to visit my family and look what's happening to me now. >> all this devout mormon can do now she says is pray. >> rafael romo joining us from across the border. rafael, the soldiers who arrested maldanado, they were supposed to testify in court yesterday. they never showed up. does the family see that as a good sign for them? >> it is decht e definitely a victory of sorts, suzanne. they were expected to testify yesterday, didn't show up like you said. but the reality is that in the mexican legal system, if they show up say today where there's another hearing that will begin in a very short time or even tomorrow, their testimony will still be valid. but the fact that they didn't show up is being seen by the defense as a victory of sorts. >> rafael, you know, mexican official familiar with the case saw him quoted as saying he thinks she was framed. i'm curious, you've been down there a lot, how common are
9:05 am
claims of, well, shakedowns if you like? >> it wouldn't be the first case where somebody from a different country, especially the united states, is framed in mexico. i can talk for example about the case of a teacher who used to cross the border daily and drugs were planted in her car and was later found out that somebody else was doing that so she would get the blame. so it's not entirely out of possibility. but the way in which this was done, two foreigners traveling on a bus and being accused of something like that when the evidence is flimsy at best definitely is getting a lot of attention. not only in the united states, but also on the mexican side of the border, michael. >> all right. rafael, thanks so much. rafael romo in nogales. >> they hope this wraps up by friday. that family very nervous. that is the hope at least. >> it doesn't move that fast down there. rafael was saying earlier too it

might be a week or two before they sort it out. we've got this amazing story of this newborn baby rescued after being stuck in a sewer pipe in china. well, it does have a happy ending thank god. >> it does. and a lot of stuff being cleared up too. the child in good condition, now not in the hospital. gone home with the grandparents. david mckenzie reports. the mother says this was an accident and they now believe her. >> this is where the story started, on fourth floor of this building. a mother who panicked, rushed to the toilet according to police and she gave birth after she had complained from stomach aches. the child got wedged inside a sewage pipe. and the images have become famous, hacking away at the pipe and trying to get the child out. they then came here with the pipe, brought it on to the street and tried to get him out right here, this newborn. but it was impossible to reach in and physically pry him out.
9:07 am
it was just too narrow. so they took the pipe to a nearby hospital and they pried it open with pliers, surgeons and the firefighters. they called the child, baby 59, after the incubator it was placed in. and the latest details are this. apparently the mother's parents took the child away. the hospital and police saying that it was sufficiently recovered. >> translator: with assistance from our local police, the baby's family came to the hospital and took away the baby. the baby's condition met the rules to be discharged from our hospital. >> amazing when you consider the ordeal that it went through. neighbors say that this could have been all a case of a mother being ashamed at her situation. >> translator: after she became pregnant, she moved out of her parents place. she said she couldn't explain to her parents how come she was carrying a baby when she was so young and single. she has no solution but staying at this place. and day after day her belly was
9:08 am
growing. >> people in this area and particularly people that were in the building where this happened are too afraid and ashamed to talk to us. and the family, both the mother and the parents, have asked that their privacy be respected. it might be hard to believe, but the police are saying that this is really an accident. the investigation's met up with what the woman said about her ordeal. they say it could have been just a case of someone who was very afraid and very ashamed. david mckenzie, cnn, china. >> amazing story. there is a stigma attached in china to unwed mothers having babies. >> and a one-child policy as well. >> and that as well. this woman apparently just ashamed tried to hide the pregnancy and then the rest was an accident. just an extraordinary time. >> got to wonder where the father is in all this too. that is another question. >> exactly. >> coming up on "around the world," the world health organization calling for a new deadly virus a threat to the

9:12 am
here. a suspicious letter sent to the president. our deborah feyerick's in new york with some of the details. deb, what makes this letter suspicious. >> what we're hearing now according to sources that fbi or they're analyzing a letter sent to president obama. it was received at an offsite facility but it appears to be similar to the two letters sent to mayor michael bloomberg, one of those letters in washington, another in new york. we're beginning to learn more about what was in the actual letter specifically the writer says "you'll have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face. the right to bear arms is my constitutional god-given right and i will exercise that right until the day i die." now, the two letters sent to mayor michael bloomberg and the organization he heads which is mayors against illegal gun violence, those letters were mailed from shreveport, louisiana. it is not clear whether in fact the one received or sent to president obama was also sent
9:13 am
from the same address. but officials are telling us that it does appear that the content, the tone of the letters and the message in the letters was similar. suzanne, michael. >> do we know about the letters that were sent to mayor bloomberg, the other two letters, whether or not they contained ricin? we've been talking about that throughout the morning. do we know in fact that's true? >> yes. initially there were tests done in the field. and those tested negative and then they were later tested and tested positive trace amounts of ricin. now we're being told that, yes, it was ricin that was in the letters, trace amounts. but still sufficient somebody clearly trying to either weaponize or trying to make people ill by including that in the letters that were sent, suzanne. >> what makes them think the letters that came from the mayor and also sent to the president were from the same people? is it because of the language in those letters? or anything -- any other similarities? >> yeah. that's exactly right. and right now we're being told
9:14 am
that at least those that were sent to bloomberg were in fact by one writer, same message, same postmark. and they believe because of the content, the nature of the message that was in the letter sent to president obama they believe that in fact they're linked. so now we have three letters that appear to have the same message that basically rails against any sort of gun control. again, the message being, come to my house, i'll shoot you in the face. >> yeah. and of course, deb, the security precautions are in place these sorts of letters don't get anywhere near the president. >> correct. president obama and the mayor were never in any immediate danger. clearly the threats are being taken very seriously, but the letter that was sent to his organization -- the mayors against gun violence -- or against illegal guns, the man who heads that organization, he was the one who actually opened the letter himself. so that was not sent to an offsite facility. no one handled it except the man it was intended for.
9:15 am
obviously that's going to be closely watched as well, michael, suzanne. >> all right. i want to bring in tom fuentes, who's on the phone -- joins us on the phone here to talk a little about the analysis and national security implications of this. what do you make of the fact that the language is similar that this kind of threatening language to the mayor, mayor bloomberg, as well as the president. >> yeah. ithink we've lost him. so we're going to try to get him back. tom fuentes, we'll get him back. and we will continue to follow this. he is back. tom is back. tom. >> yes. i'm here. >> oh, you do hear us. >> tom, quick question for you here. what do you make of the fact that the language is similar? the language that we heard to the president in that letter and then also the language that was sent to the mayor, mayor bloomberg of new york, very threatening language, but also ricin found in the mayor's letter? >> well, first of all, if the letters were mailed at approximately the same time, then there'd be no way for a copycat to know what the wording was in the first letter or the second letter compared to the
9:16 am
wording of the letter that was sent to the white house and went through the white house screening center. the second thing would be that if the letters have similar text or were mailed from the same postal address, that would indicate that the letters may be connected to each other. that doesn't necessarily mean it connects the letters to an individual yet. that will have to be determined in the investigation. also, it's going to have to be determined if all three letters contained ricin. now, the fact that preliminary tests indicate positive testing for ricin, there's a lot of false positives with those preliminary tests. they're very inaccurate. they're known to be inaccurate. so we're going to have to have the more definitive testing occur probably at fmaryland. it could take up to a week possibly if the letters contained ricin, what type of ricin, how potent was it, all that information. but that has to come from the
9:17 am
sophisticated lab testing, not the preliminary test. >> they are, as you say, it's a very valid point, they are notoriously inaccurate in the preliminary stages and does require further testing. tom, it is concerning though that we see this stuff being -- it's something you can do at home, if you know what you're doing. but it's not necessarily massively dangerous unless it is refined down. is that right? >> well, that's correct. i mean, it can be very dangerous. it just depends on the expertise of the individual and what they were able to learn as far as making it at home. that's the problem with this and so many other explosive materials that we've seen is that there are so many websites that educate an individual on how to produce deadly material, whether it be an explosive device or something like ricin, which can be mailed and sent to anywhere you want to send it to. >> tom, question here about the language in the letters. if this is in fact true, that the letters sent to the mayor and gun group as well as the
9:18 am
president, says what's in this letter is nothing compared to what i've got planned for you, what are you looking for? what do you think that means? >> well, you know, it really depends. it obviously sounds very ominous. it could mean, you know, everything from further mailings of poison to possible assassination attempts. this would be something the fbi already has a violation now sending this threatening material in the mail, but also would work closely with the secret service in terms of threats to the president and the type of mailings that have gone to the white house. fortunately, those type of mailings at least to the white house or to members of congress or to the key federal agencies go through a screening process, they go through a screening center to test the mail initially. but, again, the mailing to someone in washington, d.c., that opened the letter himself, that poses the danger of an individual that's not a postal employee possibly getting sick,
9:19 am
or, you know, fatal injury from the ricin. >> tom fuentes, thanks so much for your expertise on this. want to bring in jim acosta now who is at the white house. jim, i don't know if you've been able to get any reaction yet. >> not here yet at the white house. white house officials are not commenting on all of this, but we can tell you a little bit what you were just talking about a few moments ago. a letter addressed to president obama was intercepted at an offsite mail sorting facility for the white house. earlier today a law enforcement official we spoke to here at cnn does believe this letter is connected to the letters that were sent to mayor bloomberg and the mayors against illegal guns group that is connected to mayor bloomberg. a couple of things we can tell you about these letters. as is the case with the letters to bloomberg and mayors against illegal guns, the letter to president obama was also postmarked from the shreveport area. law enforcement official that we talked to does not believe at this point that this case is
9:20 am
related to that case that happened in mississippi last month where a man in mississippi was charged with sending ricin-tainted letters to the capital to senator roger wicker and president obama, that case is not believed to be connected to what is going on here. but essentially what they're looking at this point, guys, is that the fbi believes there may be some copycats out there. one law enforcement official telling me "people are getting bad ideas." >> jim, it might be a little too soon to know this because you said the white house is not necessarily reacting to this, but do we know first of all where is the president, what is he doing, whether or not he has been informed of this? and if not, what is the protocol here for dealing with something like this as soon as they do get this kind of information? >> well, suzanne, you know as you've worked here at the white house in the initial hours they're pretty tight lipped about this. and that is the case we're getting this morning. the president did spend the night in chicago. he was in his hometown for a big
9:21 am
fundraiser for the democratic congressional campaign committee. he is en route back to the white house today. no word yet whether or not he's been informed, but they do know here at the white house. and you know this, suzanne, that these sorts of episodes do come up from time to time. and what they usually caution in these cases and what they're cautioning to us through law enforcement sources is that there's no threat to the president. that this letter and other letters in the past are interce intercepted. again, i think you've probably talked about this with tom fuentes, this infrastructure was put in place in the aftermath of september 11th and the anthrax scare that happened here in washington and the sorting facilities are in place for this purpose. >> jim, thanks so much. jim acosta there. we're going to continue to follow this story, of course any developments we will bring them to you. obviously a copycat situation and they're watching it closely. >> yeah, strong language in
9:22 am
those letters. we'll be right back. music ... music ... music... congestion, for it's smog. but there are a lot of people that do ride the bus. and now that the busses are running on natural gas, they don't throw out as much pollution to the earth. so i feel good. i feel like i'm doing my part to help out the environment.

9:25 am
soon president bashar al assad says his country has received the first batch of surface-to-air missiles from russia. according to reports from an interview he gave to a station. >> russia defended that arms shipment saying it would help contain the conflict. not everyone agrees. this move coming only days before an eu arms embargo is set to expire. that opens up the possibility in a couple of months of perhaps the west arming the rebels. >> want to bring in the director of the middle east center at the london school of economics. thank you so much for joining us from istanbul. first of all, russia -- if russia has in fact sent these missiles to syria or if they're on their way as assad says they are, does that change the balance of power between the syrian government and the rebel forces? >> the reality is one of the
9:26 am
lessons we have learned from the last few years is that russia has made major investments in the survival of the assad regime. literally it has emerged as its most powerful ally. forget iran. forget hezbollah. russia is the backbone. it has provided them with arms, political sport, used veto twice in the security council, it has gone to great lengths to prevent any kind of military intervention in syria. and last week's decision to basically announce the shipment of advanced s-300 missile-to-air is a clear case of russia's commitment to the survival of assad and also a powerful message to the west, stay away from syria. that's what russia is telling the western powers. >> well, in fact, fawaze you have this proxy war scenario.
9:27 am
one of the great concerns, the truth is once weapons go into the country, you can't really control exactly who's going to end up with them eventually. what's to stop the extremists getting ahold of them? >> well, michael, you're raising really not just one question, several points. as you suggested, one of the lessons we have learned about civil wars once weapons go in, no one, not even the supplier, would have basically control of who or where the weapons go. and secondly, the decision to basically lift the arms embargoes against the opposition is basically the behind it is to empower the opposition, lifting the embargo as a political tool, an instrument to pressure the president to come to geneva and talk to the opposition. no decision has been made on arming the opposition by france and britain. even though i believe that
9:28 am
basically it's a matter of time, france and britain will likely supply arms to the opposition. it's a matter of weeks, not just months. >> one person, one advocate here in the united states, senator john mccain certainly advocating that the u.s. do the same slipped into syria very recently, met with the syrian rebels very briefly. here's what he said. i want you to listen. >> we can identify who these people are. we can help the right people. is there some risk involved? absolutely. but is the status quo acceptable? >> so, fawaz, is anyone really listening to senator mccain? do they care about the fact that he is really pushing this forward? does he make a point? or do they think it's not really realistic? >> you know, suzanne, the obama administration has made it very clear, it will not directly intervene in the syrian conflict. it has not made the decision to arm the opposition.
9:29 am
would like europe and neighbors to take ownership. ironically, the united states played a major role in convincing the european powers to lift the arms embargo against the opposition, yet the obama administration is reluctant to basically send american boots to syria or even arm the opposition. as senator mccain with all due respect to senator mccain, his recipe to all conflicts in the middle east, whether iran, iraq, libya, syria, bomb, bomb, bomb. senator mccain, even though he has some good points sometimes does not appreciate really the complexity of middle eastern conflicts and limits of american power. he says we have won in iraq. this is a testament to where senator mccain is today. the obama administration reality is you just asked about war by proxy. the syrian conflict is no longer an internal struggle between assad and the internal
9:30 am
opposition. it's an open ended war by proxy, iran, hezbollah and syria, turkey, qatar and saudi arabia plus russia and the united states. this tells you how complex the conflict has become in syria. >> which brings me to another point i want you to touch on. iraqi jihadists there, lebanon, hezbollah involved, all these other external players. i'm curious of big picture. are we approaching in your view or have we reached a point where the chance of syria surviving as a single workable nation, a society, is gone? is the damage done? the sectarian divides so deep now and so bitter that even if the fighting stopped tomorrow it would be too late for a cohesive nation with a central government? what do you think? >> you know, michael, this is really, i mean the real danger. the real danger is it's not longer president assad, whether he stays or go. i think it's a matter of time. 2014 i believe he will go. that's what russia and the united states are working on the end of his term. the danger is multiple clients
9:31 am
have emerged in syria, sectarian ideological, syria is being destroyed systemically. hundreds of thousands have been killed. the social fabric. the conflict has spread into neighboring lebanon, iraq, jordan, turkey. the reason why the obama administration is reluctant to intervene militarily, the united states and russia now are concerned about a region wide conflict to rescue syria from all-out destruction and also rescue the entire region from a region-wide conflict where american and international peace and security are really at stake. >> always great to get your thoughts, fawaz, thanks so much. fawaz gerges there at the london school of economics. very good points he raise. >> it's going to be fascinating when that peace talk, that summit they're hoping to hold in the months to come will even come to fruition in light of everything that's taking place. >> now the opposition's saying
9:32 am
they won't go if assad's even involved in any way. and the russians then say, well, if you say that, it's not going to work. in the whole arming issue is becoming a real talking point too. once you send those arms in, as we said arming one side of a conflict can have consequences way down the line, way down the line. we armed the taliban, remember, when they were fighting the russians. >> and there is no control. there is no control over those arms. we've seen different factions of those rebels even turning on civilians themselves. >> yeah. >> atrocities on both sides. wrestling was removed from the olympic games. >> ridiculous, wasn't it? it was. >> wait a minute. it's got a fighting chance to come back in 2020. we're going to tell you why. >> also, it is said to make the best chocolate in the world. the only thing is, it is very rare. coming up, we're going to talk to that man there, anthony bourdain is back to talk about his search for wild cocoa in peru. stick around.

in london today, one of the men who police say killed a british soldier in broad daylight made his first court appearance. >> yeah, he's the guy you've probably seen on video, the one holding a knife, not the guy with the hatchet, near the body of the soldier that he and another man allegedly killed.
9:36 am
arriving at the westminster's magistrate court earlier today. he's in that van full police escort formally charged with several charges but the main one, murder. >> no cameras are allowed inside the courtroom, so we have of course courtroom sketches. a cnn producer was there. says the suspect was handcuffed and spoke only to confirm his name, where he live and had that he was aware of the charges. want to go live to london, our frederik pleitgen here. fred, murder just one of the charges against this man. what are the others? >> hi, suzanne. yeah, murder is of course the main charge against this man, the murder of the soldier lee rigby. the other is illegal possession of a firearm because when he and the other suspect were arrested at the scene of the crime, he was carrying a dutch-made revolver. so that's also part of the charges that were levied against him today. and you're absolutely right, this isn't the man who spoke on the video that we've seen so many times. it is the other one, the younger of the two suspects, the
9:37 am
22-year-old. and it really was quite significant as well that he was handcuffed because that's not something that's usually done in courts in england unless the suspect is considered a security risk. and that clearly was the case in this particular one. one of the interesting things about the man as well is when he went into the courtroom, he truly had trouble moving. we have to keep in mind as well that when the two suspects were arrested, they were shot by police. and he was just released from hospital a couple of days ago. that's when the police began to question him. and the investigation is also still ongoing. so this was the first day in court. and on that first day it was referred to a different court, the central criminal court here in london where the proceedings are then going to go on, suzanne. >> all right. fred, thanks so much. frederik pleitgen there covering court proceedings for us out of london. the video we showed wus the other guy, not the one in court today. he's the one the cub scout leader was talking to. we're also following this story. boston bombing suspects, he was shot dead by an fbi agent, that
9:38 am
happened just last week. now, his father is demanding that the fbi actually face trial over his death. >> yeah, there's been developments. and this is it. a news conference in moscow. and that's where ib grim todashev linked to the boston bomber tamerlan tsarnaev. listen to what his father told reporters today. he had photographs with him too. >> translator: i have 16 photos here. i would like to say in advance i think you can see from the pictures, it's like in the movies. i only saw things like that in the movies when they shoot a person and then make a final shot in the head. there were six shots into the body and one shot in the head. >> he claims he was shot six times and he wants an investigation into that. all right. we're going to take a short break. we'll be right back. arch suggesh plays a key role throughout our lives. one a day women's 50+ is a complete multivitamin designed for women's health concerns as we age.

9:44 am
