"cnn newsroom" starts now. god moves mountains. that's what the mother just wrote on her facebook page. her daughter, you see her there sparked national debate is undergoing surgery at this hour. plus. >> it was dense smoke blowing across our yard and at that point i thought we're done. >> a fast moving wildfire forces thousands out of their homes. we're live from colorado with the latest. he's accused of holding three women captive in his home for years. today the man called a monster

even by his own family shows his face in court. the family of a little girl in desperate need of a lung transplant say she has now found a donor, went into surgery this morning. sarah's mother launched an effective campaign to change transplant rules. that moved her 10-year-old up the list. the girl has cystic fibrosis and would have died sign. she posted god the great. he moved the mountain. sarah got the call. she will be taken back into the or in 30 minutes. please pray for sarah's donor, her hero who has give p her the gift of life. dr. sanjay gupta says the road to recovery after a lung

transplant is rather long and tricky. >> the operation itself takes several hours and even after that patients in this case, sarah is often sedated ffr some time. it will be late into the night and maybe tomorrow morning before we have an idea, clear idea of how things went. >> sanjay, tell us about this long road to recovery after she gets these lungs. >> it's a really good question. it's a big operation in and of itself. when you do transplantation surgery one of the big goals is to prevent the body from thinking of these new organs as foreign, as a foreign body. in order to do that you have to give medications and suppress the immune system. those are medications that she will need to take and there's significant medications in terms of making sure she doesn't develop other infections.

you also have a genetic disease that's at the heart of all this. the lung transplant does not take care of that genetic disease. it takes care of the lungs but people who have cystic fibrosis are at risk for infection and damage to they're other organs including the sinuses, pancreas. >> for mom's battle to get a transplant doesn't sit well with everybody. the girm's mother was able to bring about this one year change that allows any child in need of a lung transplant under the age of 12 to get on the list for an adult lung. apparently there's not that many children's lungs available. who are the winners? who are the losers? is there kind of a trade off here because this has changed? >> sarah and her family

definitely did poke a hole in a rule that needed to be re-examined. i'm not sure the evidence really did show that kids under 12 wouldn't do as well with adult lungs. she didn't get every kid on the list but she got every kid the right to appeal so case by case the system will take a look at that. who lost? there are definitely some adults today who might have benefitted from that organ donation that just took place. they didn't get it. sarah did. i think we have to continue to keep in mind you don't add more lives just because sarah's family managed to get a change in that rule for her. you're just changing who it is that's saved. >> explain the process here. it's not clear she got the lungs because she was moved up the list or maybe somebody requested their lungs go to her. >> that's right. every once in a while you get a family that says i want to donate organs. i've heard about someone through the media. i want the organ to go to that

person. we don't know if that happened here. i don't think it did. i think she just got pushed up a list. a judge said she had to be added to that list for ten days until we figure out the merits of the rule. she's very sick. that's why she climbed to the very top of the list. i think she probably got a general donation. you want to prevent problems like sarah, very important to sign your donor card. >> you've mentioned before, you said you believe that sarah might not be the best candidate for a lung transplant. can you tell me why? >> there are a couple of reasons. the adult lung will probably be cut back and a piece used. that makes some transplant surgeons it won't work so well. she does have cystic fibrosis

that makes it hard to resist infections. she's getting drugs to fight them so that will weaken her. she may do well and let's hope she does. she's a bit of a bigger challenge. >> thank you so much. really appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> we wish sarah and her family the best. >> absolutely. now to an extremely, this is extremely dangerous situation. this is out of colorado. we're talking about five wildfires ripping through hillsides forcing thousands of people to get out and get out fast. dan, you're near one of biggest wildfires, the black forest fire, a mandatory evacuation in effect. how are people holding out? >> reporter: it's tough. this is an anxious period of time. let me explain where we are. we're in the parking lot of a

community college. the fire is a few miles behind us. you can get a good view of that plume of shoek. you can see helicopter off in the distance. you can make out some of those aircraft dropping water on the fire. the critical need is to get more firefighters in place. they believe that will be happening this afternoon. the conditions out here are terrible. you're talking about hot, windy and dry conditions. the absolute worse when it comes to battling this blaze. this point they are at zero percent containment. at this point more than 7,000 people evacuated from their homes and a lot of structures lost. it's in the dozens. they believe it could be approaching a hundred but we won't have a firm sense until later on this afternoon.

>> i understand a prison had to be evacuated as well. how did that go? >> reporter: that's the prison southwest of here. 800 inmates and this was just a precaution. these were low to medium risk pris prisoners. they were transferred to other facilities throughout the state. it happened without incident. >> thank you. we'll be keeping a close eye on the fires. in cleveland, kacastro stoo before a junl. he didn't speak. it was his defense attorney that did the talking. he kept his head down for a minute and a half while he was in the courtroom. the charges stem from ten years he allegedly kept three women captive in his home. you were there. you were inside the courtroom when he appeared. what was the reaction? >> reporter: that's right. i was there. it was very similar to the way

it was when he appeared in court for the first time a few weeks ago. he walked in today. he was wearing an orange jump suit. he kept his head down the entire time. he looked expressionless and it appeared his eyes were closed during the quick arrangement. it on it happened in about a minute. his plea was not guilty. after that he left. it's what his attorney said after this arraignment that came as a bit of a surprise. essentially his attorney said that some of the charges, some of the 329 charges are essentially indefensible. basically conceding that the charges are indisputable. he talked a lot about the aggravated murder charge. he said that's the sticking point. he showed a willingness to take out a plea deal if the

prosecutor would take charge off the table. >> do we know anything about his victims? the three women that were held in his home for nearly ten years? >> reporter: at this point they are still healing. they are just trying to adjust to their new life. they have been visiting nail salons and been to the park. they are trying their best to move forward. the fact that they are enjoying their freedom now and able to leave their home is a big improvement when they were first rescued back in may and some it's clear that they are feeling a sense of relief that he's behind bars and not only that he faces an asoutoundsing number o charges and more charges could be on the way gives these women a sense of relief. >> thank you. this time yesterday you might recall turkish riot police were starting this fierce assault on protesters. arwa damon was right there.

>> reporter: the situation really changed so quickly, do dramatically. if we move out of it we can show you where all of the demonstrators were. right down in that direction. there were thousands, tens of thousands of demonstrators who were peaceful. we were standing right here when something like an altercation seem to have broken out. >> in addition to the tear gas, riot police used stun grenades and water cannons against the prote protesters. they fought back as best they could with rocks and fireworks. the violent didn't end until early this morning whi. the crackdown shows that talks would be fruitless. we're keeping a close eye on this throughout the hour. the crowd has grown in numbers but still a peaceful situation on the ground. we'll be watching throughout the day.

justice. i'm here to reveal criminality. i've had many opportunities to flee hong kong but i would rather stay and fight the government in courts because i would faith in hong kong's rule of law. edward snowden believed to be hiding out in a safe house but it's the head of the agency behind the government surveillance program who is in the spotlight today. you see him there. keith alexander, testifying before a senate panel in the next hour. i want to bring in our own john king to talk about what the significance of that moment will be because john i imagine here it's hearing about cyber security. it's probably not going to be about cyber security. it's going to be about surveillance here. what will be the kinds of questions he'll have to answer? >> reporter: mr. alexander knows

what's coming to him. part of this is to challenge. you'll see in the public hearing questions about the prism program and government eavesdropping. you'll hear questions about what you just played there, mr. snowden's account he's there to reveal criminality. lawmakers can't ask in public have you done anything that violates the constitution or the guidelines of this program. much of that is classified. that's why we're in this big debate. you have the balance between a public congressional testimony where they can ask some questions but some of the lawmakers will back away from asking certain things and if they ask specific questions you might hear mr. alexander say here is what i can say but i can't answer part of your questions. some of them will be dealt with in a public setting like house

system. the senate wants to bring james clapper, the director of national intelligence back because he said a few months back when asked does the united states collect e-mails from average americans he said no and then he said not witting will. maybe he wasn't terribly truthful. mr. alex ander will get the first round of these questions but it won't be the last. >> it will be frustrating for the lawmakers that will hear i can't talk about that. it's classified. we heard from peert king talking to anderson cooper about this and anderson asked mr. journalist who published the leak information should be prosecuted and here is what he said. >> if they willing knew this was classified information action should be taken especially on something of this magnitude. i know the issue of leaks has been gone into but something on this magnitude there is an obligation moral and also legal against a reporter disclosing

something which would so severely compromise national security. as a practical matter there have been in the past several years a number of reporters who have been prosecuted. the answer is yes. >> john, how is that playing out? >> reporter: that last part there, the answer is yes. it's chilling. i don't know much about the guardian's dealing with national security agencies but if you read the initial washington post account they talk about how he approached them back in february and wanted full graphics in the newspaper and when the washington post refused to do that, they said they needed to discuss this with national security officials in and outside of government to make sure it wasn't doing anything dangerous or anything that would drastically undermine national security. it strikes you as quite responsible. they received a leak. there's no evidence of any

criminal activity. if a reporter breaks the law that's one thing. if a reporter gets leak of classify information and handles it in a responsible way and publishes a story that puts out information but perhaps with holds some of it after negotiations with the government, that's called a reporter doing their job. >> all right. well said. good to see you as always. phone calls, texting, gps, a lot of things to distract you whe when driving but do those devices help you keep your eyes on the road. >> when i'm trying to look out for the red and green light and listen to the message, it was tougher than i thought it was. i. so easy to use, it won a best of ces award from cnet. and it comes inside this beautifully crafted carrying case. introducing the all-new 2014 chevrolet impala with the available mylink system. ♪ [ beeps ]
