hey, everyone, john better man in for ashleigh banfield. coming up this hour, what will a man that says he knows all the nsa secrets say when he is grilled on capitol hill. the nsa director in the hot seat as the debate over privacy versus security intensifies. what happened to three women inside this cleveland home sent shock waves across the nation. ariel castro enters a plea on 329 counts. and reputed mob boss whitey bulger facing 19 murder counts after years in hiding. what could be boston's biggest, baddest, ugliest trial ever. and more than a dozen devastating wildfires are raging across the west. some of the most dangerous, fastest growing are in colorado where five fires are exploding

in size and ferocity. scores of homes burned down, thousands of people fled, sometimes really moments to spare. expecting a news conference at any moment, we will bring you that live when it begins. meantime, let's go to dan simon in colorado springs right by the fire. dan, what's the latest? >> reporter: john, we're talking about very hot and windy conditions today. certainly not ideal for battling this wildfire. the real wildfire is making sure they have enough wildfires to battle the wildfire effectively. last night, we were told there were anywhere between 150 and 300 firefighters, that's not enough when you talk about a fire of this size. as you said, this fire at this point has consumed dozens of homes. right now, official word is anywhere from 40 to 60 homes. a lot of people have been evacuated, a lot of people congregated from the community at this news conference to listen in on what the fire officials are going to say, and i am told, john, that news

conference will start momentarily. >> and the news, zero percent contained. we can see it behind you, dry, windy conditions right now, hot. i think we have the sheriff starting to talk now. >> all right, good morning, everyone. take an opportunity to kind of give a brief update. last night obviously the plume died down, that's usually an indicator of activity. the reality, we had a lot of fire taking place. as a matter of fact, at one point the lower right-hand corner where you see the red line on the map, shaded between yellow and purple darker shaded area, started to get fire movement in that area last night, they were able to hold that line on meridian. had a lot of resources committed to holding a line on that side, then again fighting the winds. i was in there until 5:00 a.m.

this morning, checking out the areas and where the most activity was, and it was a very, very hot fire, even at 5:00 a.m. this morning. now, as we know the winds are expected to pick up. we're going to be in a red flag warning day today. so what happens right now and what has happened up to this point is probably going to be pretty calm to what we can expect for the remainder of the day. we have more resources arriving, as you have seen already. we have had aerial support up there. as soon as they could get in and get the ground support to assist. but this fire as you know spread very rapidly yesterday. it moved through areas very quickly, consumed a lot of land. what i'll do is kind of go through where we are still under mandatory evacuation, which we expect that to remain in effect at least throughout today,

completely today. there's a lot of questions coming into the joint information center asking when we can go home, when are we going in our homes. it is still a hot and active fire area, and even this morning, you can hear explosions around some of the front line of the fire for propane tanks and other fuel sources. >> you have been listening to el paso sheriff speaking in colorado springs now. the news from there, frankly not great. he says it is a very hot fire, very hot even at 5:00 a.m. when he was checking the fire lines. right now, he is expecting winds to pick up. he thinks everything that happened up until this point will become compared to what he expects to see today, in other words seems like it will get worse. let's bring in chad myers, our meteorologist, to get a sense of what the weather may hold today, hot, dry, windy, doesn't sound good, chad. >> and it has been dry now for a year there, john. 72% of colorado is under a severe drought or for that matter worse.

all of colorado is under some type of drought. dan simon there in colorado springs, severe drought there. dry air out of the mountains, relative humidity this afternoon something sublime, 5 or 8%. that doesn't help put moisture back in the plants. and there's something called colorado rocky mountain beetle. that skilled scores if not thousands of trees in colorado, utah. those trees are dead and standing and waiting to burn. this will be that, colorado and western wildfire season we certainly don't want to get to but it is on its way now, john. >> chad, sounds like an awful recipe there, the insects, dry, hot weather. could get worse as the day continues. chad myers, thanks so much. >> you're welcome. we will move on to other news. new developments from hong kong where edward snowden, nsa leaker is believed to be hiding out. he has just given an exclusive interview to south china morning post. still not exactly clear where in hong kong he is, but tells the

newspaper his reasons for picking that place. this is what he says. he says i am neither traitor nor hero, i'm an american. people who think i made a mistake picking hong kong as a location misunderstand my intentions. i am not here to hide from justice, i am here to reveal criminality. my intention is to ask the courts and people of hong kong to decide my fate. i have been given no reason to doubt your system. a lot to chew on there about his reasons for picking hong kong. crime and justice correspondent joe johns joins us live from washington. joe, besides this, what's the latest? >> reporter: frankly, the headline on the story, john, is the nsa doesn't know where this guy is. the fbi is trying to help. they don't either. there's been some report in the morning newspapers about a possible safe house, but if there is a safe house, nobody knows where it is. if authorities were to actually get a hold of him, and if the

united states justice department has already filed charges against him, the next step would be to try to revoke his passport, so if he tried to pass from one country to another, he could be stopped, perhaps detained, but that's all an open question because nobody knows where the suspect is, john. >> by revoking his passport, means he is in hong kong illegally, in theory, he could be picked up. he is not the only one talking to south china morning post. later, we will hear from the director of the nsa at a senate appropriations hearing. what can we expect him to say about nsa leaks? >> reporter: this is a spending hearing. it is possible there will be a variety of topics discussed on capitol hill, but there's been a lot of heat from members of congress about the electronic tracking program and disclosing more information so that the public can get a better sense of what it is, what it does, how it

works, and how many telephone numbers or whatever they might have been able to take into the system. real interest in disclosing more. one member of congress told reporters yesterday he had no idea about the amount of information that was being taken in by the executive branch every day, so a growing concern there. and john, as you know, there's also threats of litigation involving the aclu and others, just a variety of different threads of the story, all talking about disclosure and the need for more of it. >> appropriations hearings, usually tense moments in a hearing like that, but there's a lot of pent up frustration, and a lot of questions senators are waiting to ask. there could be fireworks. joe johns, great to talk to you, thanks so much. ahead, our take on daytime justice, he dedward snowden stin hiding. they're working overtime so that

once he is caught -- the legal panel weighs in next. >> i try to listen to the message, keep my eye on the pylon, it was tougher than i thought it was. also, chris lawrence wearing a funny hat, goes for a drive in the name of science, sort of. what's really going on in the brain when we talk and drive. i promise you, this is must see television. and later, let's say you're on the phone driving and you crash. should the police have the right to take your phone from you and search what calls and texts you made? that's what cops in new jersey want the power to do. the question is, is it legal? the debate later this hour. in parks across the country, families are coming together to play, stay active, and enjoy the outdoors. and for the last four summers, coca-cola has asked america to

choose its favorite park through our coca-cola parks contest. winning parks can receive a grant of up to $100,000. part of our goal 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. more... step!

all right, this just in. we're learning the young philadelphia girl sarah murnaghan has received a lung transplant. you'll remember, this caused a great debate over transplant policy. she suffers from cystic fibrosis, a ten-year-old girl, needed a new lung, was on the

list for a child, juvenile lung, got on the adult list. jason carroll has new developments. what's the latest? >> reporter: we are hearing from janet murnaghan, sarah murnaghan's mother. basically what happened, john, the family got the word late last night at about 10:30 that a donor lung had become available. just about 30 minutes ago, we got word that sarah murnaghan will go into surgery this morning and also now, john, i have a statement from janet murnaghan, that's sarah murnaghan's mother, she says, quote, god is great. he moved a mountain. sarah got the call. she will be taken into the or in about 30 minutes. please pray for sarah's donor, her hero who has given her the gift of life. today their family experienced a tremendous loss, may god grant them a peace that surpasses understanding. once again, we have been covering the story as you know for some time about sarah murnaghan, ten years old,

suffering from cystic fibrosis. her family desperate for a year and a half, two years, trying to get her a lung. they basically challenged the system. they sued the system, department of health and human services, because she is under 12 years old. they felt as though she was not treated fairly under the transplant system. their feeling was that those 12 years and older according to health and human services policy had more access to adult lungs, adult lung donations. basically what they did, john, they sued and that was last week, a judge ruled in their favor. earlier this week, united network for organ sharing, the organization that oversees all of the lists, maintained the lists, had an emergency meeting and basically had an interim change to policy. so now that people like sarah, children like sarah, another young man there as well, a little boy is 11 years old in

the same situation, from now on these children will all at least for the next year have access to adult lungs based on meeting certain criteria. it is a huge, huge step for the family. last week they had a huge legal step, today a huge medical step. now sarah heads into surgery now that she has received a donated lung. >> jason, such an emotional issue, such a complicated issue for so many people. i think obviously 30 minutes before she heads into surgery, everyone's thoughts are with her and her family. i know you just spoke to them. do you know if it was a child's lung or was it an adult lung that is the donated lung? >> reporter: good question, we're just getting this information now. no indication of who the donor was, but what we can tell you is that obviously when you get a donation like this, it is from someone who has recently been deceased. don't know if it was an adult or

a child. just getting the information that she received the word last night at 10:30. they're scheduled to go into surgery at about 11:00. looking at the clock above me, says about 11:15. no indication of who the donor was, but you do see here from the statement that janet murnaghan submitted that again is sarah's mother, she's calling whoever this person is a hero for giving sarah the, quote, gift of life. >> jason, thank you so much. you've had great reporting on this from the beginning. great to hear from you as she heads into surgery. with me now, dr. sanjay gupta. i asked him something we don't have the answer to, it is important to know about the prospects for the surgery, was it an adult lung donor or child donor. what difference does it make? >> if it is an adult lung, it is coming down to something as simple as size, john. if you have a girl that's ten years old, to get adult lungs to

fit, sometimes they have to be trimmed, involves removing portions of the lung, rendering them not useful, or taking is certain lobes of the lung. also the blood vessels, you connect blood vessel to blood vessel, there will be size differences. it is a technical issue for the surgeons more than anything else. the lung tissue themselves after that should work about the same. she's still going to have the same challenges with both, immuno suppression, still dealing with cystic fibrosis, potential infections in her body as a result of cystic fibrosis. those challenges are still the same. >> what are the prospects? >> it is tough to say. following the story from the beginning, we're not dealing with a situation you can say this is what happened the last 10,000 times, this is rare. maybe a couple hundred lung transplants in children over the last ten years, in cystic

fibrosis even fewer. cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease, this won't be secured by the lung transplant. i am a dad, you're a dad, it is a difficult thing, you want to do everything for your child, but this does not cure the disease. that's something the surgeons and her doctors have to contend with. >> buy some time, some years. everyone identifies with the parents, any parent would do anything they could to buy any time for their child. >> that's right. >> i want to go to jason carroll. you have been speaking to the family. do we expect to hear from them later today at the conclusion of the surgery? >> reporter: that's what we're hoping for and certainly that's a possibility. obviously right now janet murnaghan, sarah's mother, wants to be with her, by her daughter's side. through a family spokeswoman we have been dealing with as well, we are hoping to hear from the family perhaps very late today. dr. gupta would know better than i would in terms of how long a surgery like this would last,

and of course, you know, there are no guarantees. it is a delicate surgery, it is a difficult surgery, especially when you're dealing with children, so there's still a lot of factors and variables to deal with here before janet murnaghan, again, sarah's mother, would be willing to come down and speak to the media, but once they feel as though sarah is in the clear, i am told the family will come out and make some sort of statement. >> thank you so much, jason. before we go to break, let me ask dr. sanjay gupta, how long is the surgery. >> 10:30 they got the call, surgery begins in a half hour. a lot of steps have taken place in the last 12 hours. what's happening now, the organs, lungs in this case are being removed. at the same time, she's going to be prepped for surgery, sarah will be prepped for surgery. these two things are coordinated, happening simultaneously. the operation itself which involves removing her lungs, putting in new lungs, probably several hours. after that, patients are often

intentionally kept sedated for some time, in terms of how she's doing, which is the question everyone wants to know, that could be late into the night or tomorrow morning. >> all right, thank you so much. obviously we will be following this story as it develops. fantastic contacts and relationship with the family, he will bring us the latest as it comes in. man: how did i get here? dumb luck? or good decisions? ones i've made. ones we've all made. about marriage. children. money. about tomorrow. here's to good decisions. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. ready to plan for your family's future? we'll help you get there. happy birthday! it's a painting easel! the tide's coming in!

welcome back. we mentioned that edward snowden insists he is not a traitor. the nsa leaker told the south china morning post why he blew the whistle on nsa, he says i am neither traitor nor hero, i'm an american. people will think i made a mistake picking hong kong as a location misunderstand my intentions. i am not here to hide from justice, i am here to reveal criminality. my intention is to ask the courts and people of hong kong to decide my fate. i have been given no reason to doubt your system. question is what kind of charges could be brought against snowden? take a listen to what former u.s. attorney general alberto

gonzales told us on this program yesterday. >> clearly there's an unlawful publication of classified information. that in and of itself is a violation of the espionage act. so i think that this young man is in some serious legal jeopardy quite frankly. it is interesting that i think he made this disclosure on a matter of principle, yet he is not willing to stand behind that principle, feels like he needs to go into hiding. i think what's happened here is very, very unfortunate. i think it could do serious damage to the national security of our country. >> meanwhile, there's anger, outrage, now lawsuits from americans, at least two civil lawsuits have been filed against federal officials, so let's bring in the defense attorney from philadelphia and prosecutor from brooklyn d.a.'s office, christine grillo. there are two lawsuits filed against the federal government, one by a philadelphia couple who allege they were singled out for

electronic surveillance because they criticized the u.s. military, the other lawsuit from american civil liberties union, a verizon customer, by the way. will either of these lawsuits hold water? >> it depends. it has to be an investigation, looking into the facts of it. if these are true allegations and they have the facts to back them, they will hold water, they can file some successful lawsuits if their rights have been infringed on as they claim. >> it has to show we were harmed in this way. would it be more than the government has a ton of our data on file they have touched? >> you have to prove damages. you can't say i don't like what they've done, i don't like that they have this information, therefore i am going to sue and i should be successful, show us how you have been damaged and that this lawsuit is warranted. >> let's shift to the case against edward snowden. the government is preparing charges. when they are finished with the

charges, how tough will it be to extra diet him from hong kong or revoke his passport, get him back that way. >> first you have to look at what is hong kong. hong kong was turned over to china back in 1997 by the uk. as we stand today, it operates somewhat independently, but ultimately does answer to beijing, which is the capital of china, it is part of china. so while it has its own -- >> we lost audio from danny. let me ask christine to finish up part of this question. if the u.s. does want to get hold of snowden in hong kong, who physically goes to get him? >> that's a good question, but the point is first we have to if we are going to abide by the extradition procedures, that is the question to be answered first off because there has been prior case law that has allowed the united states to just go in,

and if you would kidnap the suspect and bring them back, and that shouldn't stop us from then proceeding with charges against them if we have them here in the united states. what you first have to see is what kind of extradition act hong kong has and what our agreement is with them. and if that is so, if he waives extradition, which if he is claiming he is doing this, has the rights to do this, and snowden released all of this information, if he is doing it just for the betterment of the constitution rights and he didn't do anything wrong, he should waive extradition, and in that case he would just come back based on we would go get him, he would agree to come back and face the charges if he claims he had the right to do this. >> see if that happens. three women held captive more than a decade, their release gripped the nation. now the man charged faces 329 counts. he faced the music in court today. we will go live to cleveland in a moment.

plea in ohio today, he was indicted on 329 counts for raping and imprisoning three women for a decade. also for aggravated murder for purposely terminating a pregnancy. cnn correspondent pamela brown is live in cleveland. pamela, tell us what happened in court this morning and what's next? >> reporter: well, john, ariel castro looked very much the same today as he did when he first appeared before a judge several weeks ago. he walked in wearing an orange jumpsuit, was shackled on his feet and handcuffed, kept his head down the entire time, not looking at his attorney, even the judge, when he pleaded not guilty. it almost looked as though he had his eyes closed during the minute long arraignment. it all happened in a flash. he left of the courtroom, then his attorney came out and

basically sounded like a plea to the prosecutor saying look, for the first time he admitted some of these charges ariel castro faces, some of the 329 charges are indisputable. what we're really focused on here is that aggrevated murder charge where ariel castro could face the death penalty. he hopes a resolution will be reached so it doesn't go any further and doesn't reach trial. today, a trial judge was set. we learned next wednesday there will be a pretrial hearing. from there we could see some negotiations for a plea deal and it is going to be a fairly lengthy legal process, this is just the beginning. also, john, you have to remember, we could be seeing more charges from the grand jury on ariel castro. the charges now are only up to 2007. >> a lot of information there, pamela brown in cleveland. thank you so much. let's chew in this. bring in danny cevallos and

christine grillo. the defense isn't saying we didn't do any of this, none of it happened, it is a not guilty plea, why do it, is it the right move? we're having problems again with danny's audio. christine, can i get you to answer that for me now? again, why issue the not guilty plea, and do you think it is the right move? >> it would be premature as a defense attorney, i am not a defense attorney, have it make that clear. it would be premature for any defense attorney to enter a plea of guilty at this point. he or she needs to have the opportunity to evaluate all of the evidence and get the best deal possible for this defendant. so in saying what this defense attorney did i think we have -- there are claims that he cannot dispute. there's no defense to some of them, the evidence is overwhelming. in that regard they're almost suggesting to the prosecution stop adding the charges on and we will come to an agreement or

disposition that is -- that will speak justice to this horrific crime. >> you have to say not guilty now to get any kind of deal. >> absolutely. if you're saying guilty, any charge that the prosecution puts forth, they won't be held to task to prove. >> and we're only seeing half the possible charges, only covers half the time these women were allegedly held captive. why not go with all ten years instead of the first five? >> first off, you have to look at statute of limitations, some of those charges might not be able to be brought, i'm not sure what the statute of limitations are in that state, but also remember there's 329 charges so far, and there is such a thing as overkill on an indictment, if you have the most serious charges there and you have enough to back up what you're doing, there's no need to put so many charges on there. >> most serious seem to be aggravated murder for purposely causing unlawful death of the children. those would carry death penalty? >> they would. >> in theory, this is what the

plea bargaining will be about. >> yes. the prosecution now has the upper hand if you would, besides having all of this evidence, they have some serious charges that they can bargain with the defense attorney and say let's not put these girls through anything more, not have them testify. take the charges, do life imprisonment without possibility of parole, we will take the death penalty off the table and save everyone the time and energy of having to put the victims through this. >> and that would be the goal for the prosecution, for everyone, spare the young women more pain having to sit through a trial. christine grillo, thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up, phone calls, texting, following your gps, all things you may do behind the wheel, distracted driving could get you in an accident. one state wants police to check your cell phone to see if you have been doing it. is this going too far? ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪

more than 3,000 people died last year and nearly 400,000 injured in car crashes caused by distracted drivers, and the number one culprit, won't surprise you, cell phones. one new jersey lawmaker is proposing allowing police to confiscate cell phones after an accident to determine if they were in use at the time. hands free devices were supposed to make driving safer, but as our chris lawrence discovered, hands free is not problem free. >> reporter: we all thought hands free would allow us to combine the morning commute with the demands of staying connected. >> making the decision to talk hands free and interact with this technology does pose a considerable risk. >> reporter: i wanted to get a firsthand look. let's drive. researchers wired me up to see if i could still drive. >> this is sort of measuring

your background mental work load. >> reporter: making hands free calls. good. i am here on the driving test. using voice to text technology. we should get together sometime soon. okay. what would you like to say? how about sunday. one message seemed simple enough. next message. text from courtney. until you realize they just keep coming. >> your next message is loading. message from psychology survey, text from victoria. are you busy tonight? >> reporter: does 8:00 work for you? the more i tried to multi task, the less my brain could do. your brain activity really was reduced and transformed during the process of trying to perform tasks behind the wheel. it is hard to disconnect. i get it. my daughter is in daycare, catches every call known to man,

my wife works ten hours a day and is nine months pregnant. my bosses at cnn want what they want when they want it, so when can i put this down? >> they also collected your brain waves while driving. >> reporter: those proved even when i wasn't using my hands, my brain was still engaged in conversation. >> siri, do i have text messages in. >> reporter: and app designers aren't making it easier, adding facebook and twitter. >> this is a serious looming public safety crisis. >> reporter: when i try to look at the red and green light and listen to the message, keep my eye on the pylons, it was tougher than i thought it was. chris lawrence, cnn, washington. >> we hope chris gets to keep the hat. also wish him the best with the birth of his next child. one study found drivers using cell phones are four times more likely to be injured in an

accident, but that doesn't seem to deter them using the devices anyway. one new jersey lawmaker wants to let police confiscate phones after an accident to check their call history. this has raised a lot of privacy concerns, flat out constitutional concerns. david strayer has done a lot of research from university of utah, joins us from washington. alexander shalom also joins us from aclu. i think everyone grease that distracted driving is a bad idea, cell phones and texting are a major culprit. >> they very much are, the crash risk associated with using some of the technologies, especially things like texting, eclipse what we see in terms of impairment for someone legally intoxicated. so providing some tools that would help lawmakers try to establish if someone was in fact using some of this technology to

say send a text message could actually be an aid in terms of their decision about what the ultimate cause of the accident was. >> a deterrent, perhaps. alexander, i assume with aclu, you may have issues with police seizing someone's cell phone. they say if they have reasonable ground to check the cell phone records to see if you were texting or making calls. >> the problem is the constitution doesn't allow searches based on reasonable suspicion of things and it doesn't allow searches generally speaking without search warrants. and so this is a problem, properly identified, but there's a solution, the solution being cell phones preexist automobiles. go to a judge, get a search warrant. once you do that, you can search a person's cell phone records to see whether they have been texting while driving. generally speaking what someone can do on the phone doesn't enable them to delete the records from the cell phone

provider. >> good point. they used the language reasonable grounds. is that a legally different term than probable cause? >> it is a lower standard, the standard that generally speaking would allow a police officer to stop you on the street, ask you some questions, wouldn't allow a police officer to engage in a full blown search of your person, of your home or of your car. here with cell phones, we deal with devices that contain a great deal of highly private information, contains your address book, calendar, people with whom you have associated. in addition to fourth amendment, search and seizure implications, there are also implications of who you're talking to and when you're talking. >> with the harmful effects of distracted driving, what sacrifices could people give up that would make a difference and perhaps save lives? >> i think that's a little hard to know for sure. people a lot of times use the

technologies because they think they're safe, harbor a false illusion that they are. what happens in terms of trying to understand what the actual risk is at a societal level is useful so we have a good understanding of crash causation. from a scientific perspective, it is helpful to understand if someone was using cell phones and that was a cause of an accident, to enter that into the database to get a precise accounting of exactly how many people are actually being injured or killed on roadways. i think it is worth saying that certainly some of the activities when you're distracted by especially things like texting, but also talking on a cell phone, particularly things associated with your eyes off the road, hands off the wheel, it eclipses impairments you see when someone is drunk. if someone has been in a crash and they've caused some kind of injury, to try to be able to nail down exactly what the source of that impairment was, if cell phone is related, seems
