breaking news right now. a burning chemical plant near ba baton rouge, louisiana, the fire still burning and so far police and fire fighters only saying that there are some injuries, some people who are hurt. they are not saying how many or how badly they don't have that information yet. this plant produces chemicals used to make plastic. emergency officials, they have evacuated a two-mile made us around that plant. they're telling people that live nearby to stay in their homes as a precaution. this is "cnn newsroom." we're following the strong wind gusts could hit colorado today. it is bad news for fire fighters who are struggling to contain a
10:01 am
ferocious wildfire near colorado springs. officials say the black forest fire burned down 360 homes and destruction far from over. want to bring in victor in wovi. how many homes are we talking about? >> the wind is making the storm so unpredictable the fire fighters on the front lines preparing for this and digging outlines prepare for the fire to go in one direction and it goes in another or in two directions, but i can tell you this, in the last 18 hours the situation intensified dramatically. consider these numbers. last night the sheriff told us 92 homes had been destroyed by this fire. this morning the number is up to 360 making this the most destructive storm as it relates to property in colorado history. the people covered by this evacuation order last night, that number was 10,000.
10:02 am
today that number is 38,000. so when you ask about properties that are in danger, i can tell you inside that 93 square mile area being covered by this, the 93,000 acres instead being covered by this evacuation order, 13,000 homes. no one expects all of those to burn but it is the number of homes that could be in danger. >> victor, i assume that fire fighters are really gearing up for those high winds. what are they doing to prepare this afternoon? >> they're continuing the water drops that we have seen and now that some of the smoke has cleared out. early this morning it was so hazy it was difficult to get planes up. they have about four to eight choppers. we saw the d.c. 10, the tanker 911 dropping retard ant and water. the people pushed out of their homes are scattered all over. some are in hotels. some are with friends and family. there is a shelter open and had
10:03 am
had to be evacuated because of poor air quality. they were moved to another shelter. i spoke with a family of seven living in a camper in a walmart parking lot waiting to find out if their home is one of the 360 that has been destroyed and if the are fire is moving in that direction. >> victor, thank you. be safe as always. on the east coast the threat today is rain, wind, hail, potential tornados as well and it is the same storm system that pounded the midwest last night. setting off tornados, dangerous straight line winds, luckily no one was hurt. chicago got hammered with hail and lightning. look at this. this is the willis tower, took a direct hit. many of you understand the land mork building as the sears tower. chad used to live in chicago. i know that building well. that is very dramatic. i imagine people were pretty afraid when they saw that. >> if the storms didn't bump into each other last night, chicago would have had a much bigger hit.
10:04 am
no question about it. the storms were bumping into each other and not allowing one storm to be what we call the super cell tornadic thunderstorm. that was the great news. i know it looked ugly. i know the skies were green. it is the hail in the sky. think about looking at an old coke bottle, you see the green on the top, it is the same refraction you get from the hail stones in the sky. that's why your sky was green last night, almost an aqua at some time. that weather has pushed offshore and we talked about the derecho possible yesterday. it never really developed into anything as significant as the one last year but the weather has slid off now the jersey shore. what we're worried about the next couple hours as this all moves on by, is that the regeneration of weather here just to the south of washington, d.c. and here is west virginia and into virginia. the new threat for severe weather today is slightly south of d.c. the tornadic threat from the tide water towards raleigh 5% and now there is still a slight chance all the way back even into west virginia and into
10:05 am
mississippi, so that's kind of where it is there. here is your hail probability, the core there right over tide water into the piedmont of north carolina, same story here. we will see severe weather, some severe weather, hail, wind, all the way back, mississippi, alabama, here in atlanta for sure and charlotte and raleigh. that's the bull's-eye today. not as severe as the potential as yesterday. still there but not like yesterday. >> we'll be watching. stormy weather disrupting air travel as well. cnn correspondents tweeted these pictures of passengers in chicago's o'hare airport sleeping on cots. more than 360 flights cancelled at o'hare just yesterday alone. the storms also causedes more than two dozen flight cancelations at chicago's midway airport. big decision here. u.s. supreme court ruling on an issue that has been in the headlines recently quite frankly because of actress angelina jolie. what we're talking about is the gene mutation linked to an
10:06 am
increased risk of breast cancer. now, you might recall jolie revealed that she had undergone a double masectomy because the mutation put her at higher risk of the disease. today the high court ruled that human genes cannot be patented. i want to bring in jeffrey toobin to talk about that angle and the chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. jeff, i want to start with you first here. this particularly involves a case with a company that identified the brak a1 brca 2 jean mutation. what did the court decide. >> what the court said unanimously in an opinion written by just clarence thomas, they had, look, this brac gene is part of the body and like an elbow and you can't patent something that everybody has and occurs naturally in the world.
10:07 am
what you can patent is what you do to it, and how you test it. the actual part of the body itself which the patent office had granted a patent on, you can't do it. anyone, any company can now go to that gene and come up with its own test for breast cancer or anything else. that's the gist of the decision. >> very good explanation there, jeff. >> thank you, suzanne. >> pretty simple. the elbow analogy. i like that. sanjay, if you want to get tested, genetic testing here, how would that impact you? would it be cheaper now? more competition? what does this mean for people that want to undergo the type of tests? >> i think both of those things. i think it is likely not right away and soon it will become cheaper and it will probably become more accessible. there is an interesting nuance to build a little bit on what jeffrey said. the headlines from myriad, the company at the heart of the lawsuit was the supreme court upheld the patenting of cdna.
10:08 am
cdna is complementary dna, and the science that jeff explained they're not saying when they are looking for the gene and looking for a specific gene but then in order to make it useful to them to study it they have to make a copy of it, a template if you will. that's the cdna. this he have to do that. they have to actually use the techniques to create that copy and then from there they can make the testing for the jean mutatiom gene mutations. it was the gene itself they were trying to patent. anybody who has a mutation of that breast cancer gene, that's what they were trying to patent and they can't do that >> jeff, want to bring you back here. this was a unanimous decision which is really pretty rare in the supreme court. why did that happen? >> you know, in fairness to the justices, about 30 to 40% of their decisions are unanimous
10:09 am
every year. it tends to be the high profile constitutional issues that are the one where is you get all the 5-4 decisions and the big decisions that we're all waiting for by the end of the month, the future of affirmative action, the future of the voting rights act, the two same sex marriage cases about the defense of marriage act and proposition 8 in california. we didn't get a decision on those today. we will probably get them either next week or the following week. next monday is the next day the court sits and you can be sure those will not be unanimous >> oh, yeah, those will be hot. all right, jeff. thanks. jeffrey toobin in new york. dr. sanjay gupta here in atlanta. for more, go to cnn.com and coming up, the fall out over the secret government surveillance of phone and internet traffic now creating pretty unusual alliances. we're talking about the political impact up next and rob lowe moving back to the west wing. only this time he is playing
10:10 am
john f. kennedy. resemblance uncanny. a sneak peek ahead. a hispanic boy slammed for wearing a mariachi outfit and you will hear what he is saying and you can hear him sing, too. >> i think the people were talking bad was because of what i was wearing. it is not my fault. it is what i love.

just a short time allege we learned president obama and vice president biden will meet with newtown families happening today. the families of victims of the sandy hook elementary school massacre are in washington today and they're on the hill lobbying for tougher gun control legislation. well, tomorrow marks six months since that shooting. 20 students and six teachers were killed when adam lanza opened fire in that school. the fall out over the secret government surveillance of phone and internet traffic creating some rather unusual alliances. since edward snowden blew off the cover of the program there are some republicans that sided with the white house in
10:14 am
defending it. the partisan lines blurred in the debate over privacy versus national security. i want to bring in our chief political analyst gloria borger. i want to you listen to what he said in defending the programs. >> i made it very clear this program does not target innocent americans in any way, shape or form. these programs have helped keep america safe. they are enhanced our ability to go after terrorists who want to bring harm to the american people, and frankly i am a little surprised the white house hasn't stood up and made clear on an ongoing basis how important these programs are. >> so how does the white house receiving this? on the one hand it seems like he is in lock step with the
10:15 am
administration but on the other hand he is criticizing them for not bringing it up more. >> what he is saying, i think we ought to hear from the president and i think it is a reasonable request given the fact that you have heard from lots of other people including the head of the national security agency who has been testifying. the other point i think he is making is he believes the american public needs to know a little bit more about just how this program works and just how it has helped them thwart terror attacks. we heard from the head of the nsa saying it helped thwart more than a dozen attacks and today he met behind closed doors with the house intelligence committee and the chairman of the committee just said we're going to did he classify more of of this within a week because they believe they have to let the public in on the secret here about how this works and how it helped keep them safe. >> politically, how is it playing? we have seen recent polls
10:16 am
showing americans split in whether or not they support these programs or not. does it behoove either side to talk a lot about these? >> they have to talk about it because it is important to us and important to our security. in looking at all of these polls as i did this morning closely, it seems to me it depends on how you ask the question to the american public like lots of polls. if you say to the american public do you like the idea of the national security agency keeping all of your phone traffic, et cetera, the public says, no, i don't really like that so much. but if you ask the question and say, okay, is it okay for them to do this in order to stop terrorism? then the american public says, yeah, that's fine. this tells me the public needs to know more about what the government is doing because the base of this is a question of do you trust your government?
10:17 am
the government wants to say, look, we're not doing anything unthwart or snooping on your calls as the president says. you have to lift the veil as much as they can and let the public know why they're doing what they're doing. >> we'll see if they have more to say on this. good to see you as always. a new movie centered on the life and death of president john f. kennedy in production and we're getting a first look at the a-list actor that has been tapped to play jfk. you have seen him in movie and tv shows but never played a president. he is rob lowe. in character as president kennedy you see there striking the famous pose from the official presidential portrait. the two-hour movie called killing kennedy slated to air in november on national geographic channel. 11-year-old singer's rendition of the national anthem bringing controversy and then applause. well, some people criticized him on social media because he is proud of his mexican american

anthem? how are you singing the national anthem looking like an illegal immigrant tweeted andre lacey of augusta, goand some immigrant rights groups said the antagonism towards the sixth grader highlights a deeper issue for latinos in the united states. despite the insults, he has stayed resilient. >> i think the people talking bad is because of what i was wearing and it is not my fault. it is what i love. i am just proud to be a mariachi singer and like it is their opinion actually, and if they don't like mariachi, that's their problem, but i love it. >> while the barrage of insults made national headlines, for de la cruz it seems to have

10:25 am
i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling.
10:26 am
you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. the biggest wildfire in colorado has grown bigger and
10:27 am
more destructive. the numbers are staggering. take a look at this. the black forest fire near colorado springs has burned down 360 homes so far. 15,000 acres are scorched and evacuation area is now affecting 38,000 people. we are following breaking news. a burning chemical plant near baton rouge, louisiana, now something caused an explosion a couple of hours ago. this was at the williams olefins plant. this is in the town of geist march. we're told seven people are hurt and no one has been killed from this. we'll get more details as we follow the breaking news story. in four days now, the jury selection process, this is george zimmerman's murder trial out of sanford, florida. attorneys are trying to find folk that is can hear the case against him without being prejudice. they have been questioning potential jurors about their knowledge of this of course this high profile case and the
10:28 am
"orlando sentinel" says the last juror called for questioning this morning was the most opinionated so far. the jury is quoted as saying she believes zimmerman is innocent and believes he was defending himself when he shot trayvon martin and proceeded to give a detailed list of possible evidence in the case to justify her beliefs. the man that allegedly ran the irish mob in boston for 20 years is now on trial. they say he was a hands on killer who preferred to do his own dirty work. he is charged with murdering 19 people. the trial officially is now under way. debra ferrick is in boston. >> by the time he was a man everyone in south boston knew what he had become. three words that describe him. >> stone cold killer. >> james bulger, so feared and
10:29 am
so ruthless some relatives of the 19 people he is accused of killing decades ago still harbor a vivid hatred as the man known to everyone as whitey. >> i describe him as a scumbag. he is the lowest of the low. he is a mass murder like i said before. he has destroyed hundreds of families. he doesn't give a crap about anybody, no one but himself. >> for more than two decades from the '70s to the early '90s nothing happened in boston's criminal under world but bulger getting a piece of it. he is accused of shaking down gamblers, loan sharks, drug traffickers and legitimate businessman. john shea, nicknamed red, ran his drug operations. >> he wanted to be as strong and as powerful and rich as he could be. he made tough guys shake. >> there was something else about bulger, something that made him even more lethal. he cut a deal with another southy from the same projects, john connelly, an fbi agent who
10:30 am
recruited him as an informant. their deadly alliance would ultimately tarnish generations of federal agents. >> 1976 connelly tipped him off about a rival and bulger killed him, so connelly had to realize right away how serious and deadly this arrangement was. >> bulger was supposed to be ratting out the italian mafia and used his fbi contacts to gain information that he allegedly used to kill 19 mob rivals, possible informants and others. >> he would personally get involved in cutting off the fingers or hands of the victims and extracting their teeth. >> shia, an author and construction worker spent 12 years in prison rather than rat out bulger. >> i idolized whitey. i idolized him and they wanted whitey through me when i got indicted. i wouldn't give him up. they could have threatened me with the electric chair and i
10:31 am
wouldn't give him up. ever. >> in late 1994 bulger got one of his time tips from his fbi pal that he was about to be arrested and indicted and he planned ahead and took off ultimately with girlfriend katherine gregg after a 16 year manhunt the fbi finally found the couple living in santa monica with dozens of guns and can more than $800,000 in cash stuffed in the walls of his apartment. >> wow. debra ferrick is joining us from boston. do we think he will take the stand? >> well, suzanne, his lawyer has suggested there is a possibility he will take the stand and what is so interesting is you see him looking at surveillance videos of himself from 30 years ago and he is meeting with known gangsters and some of them that will testify against him at this this trial. this is a man that spent many years living and laying low and completely exposed in that courtroom. he doesn't look behind him, barely acknowledges the witnesses and the only time i
10:32 am
saw him turn his head was when prosecutors introduced certain firearms, weapons they say are connected to him, specifically a mag 10 with a pistol. a very large firearm. >> thank you very much, debra. a suspect in a double murder will now make a startling revelation. they say he claims that he has killed dozens of people. police in marion county, florida, say that he might be responsible for 30 murders across the united states. alina is here with more. >> the case happened in marion county, florida, back in 2006, more than six years ago. earlier there year authorities in florida received the results of dna tests conducted on a cigarette butt that was found at the crime scene and through those results that they found out about jose martinez. they also discovered he was wanted in alabama for an
10:33 am
unrelated homicide. martinez was arrested in arizona and extra indicted to alabama where florida detectives caught up with him and they say he confessed to the 2006 murders offering details they believe only the killer would have known. suzanne. >> police are saying now he says he is responsible for the murders of 30 people. how did that happen? >> the marion county sheriff's office says so far they have been able to confirm at least 11 murder victims that martinez allegedly confessed to killing and they are now working with other law enforcement agencies around the country to try to identify all potential victims. they say martinez told them he was just 16 years old when he committed his first killing. >> unbelievable. that is quite a story there. just made that confession. >> that's what it seems like. sounds like he wanted to come clean. at least that's what the florida detective that interviewed him in alabama told us. >> a serial killer. >> that's what it sounds like. >> thank you so much. appreciate it.
10:34 am
watch as hillary clinton, chelsea, bill clinton coming up, how the former secretary of state is bursting back in the political arena with her family in tow and house minority leader nancy pelosi, well, she has gone off on a conservative reporter over the topics, one of them being abortion. you can hear what she said next.

applying lessons learned from around the world and building new partnerships across our entire portfolio but particularly in three broad areas that have been close to my heart my entire adult life. early childhood development, opportunities for women and girls, and economic development. >> hillary clinton back in the political spotlight, backed up by her family of course, and the former secretary of state was speaking there at the clinton global initiative meeting being held in chicago. it was the first public policy speech since leaving the state department and she was explaining her now role and ann is joining us live from chicago. erin, first starts tweeting in the last week or so and jumps into that. back in the spotlight. everybody just wants to know
10:38 am
2016, is she going to go for it? of course she has not of made any announcements here yet about 2016, and i don't think we'll be hearing a presidential announcement tomorrow. she did, however, say she has an announcement tomorrow about a new area of focus that she will be taking on within the clinton foundation and the talk will you just heard about economic development. what we're seeing is this is going to be a very different role from what she just did for the last few years at the state department. it is going to be much more domestically and economically focused and if that's any hint, well, there you go, suzanne. >> i will take that as a hint. what about the rest of the family? obviously the former president and chelsea getting in the mix here. you see all three involved now. >> exactly. chelsea clinton will be taking on a bigger role and we will see her later this afternoon and again tomorrow and bill clinton said earlier today that chelsea
10:39 am
has been spending time traveling for cgi, so this is becoming a much bigger family affair and the big draw here in these two days is hillary clinton and her coming out party as a private sit >> citizen and the philanthropic work she will be doing. and heated moments on the hill. nancy pelosi getting visibly angry asked approximate her opposition to a republican proposal on abortion that would ban all abortions after 20 weeks. athena jones is live from d.c. what happened here? >> it certainly was very testy and the minority leader was angered because a reporter from a conservative leaning publication, the weekly standard, was pressing her repeatedly about her opposition to this bill and this bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks. the reporter wanted to know what's the moral difference between what this bill is aiming to do and what that abortion
10:40 am
doctor, that late term abortion doctor out of philadelphia was convicted of doing. he was convicted of murdering babies in late term abortions and so that reporter was repeatedly pressing her and this is what pelosi had to say. >> this is not the issue. they are saying that there is no abortion, making it a federal law there be no abortion in our country. you are taking the extreme case. are you taking the extreme case and what i am saying to you is what happened in philadelphia was reprirhensible. i am not going to have this conversation. you're not interested in an answer. i am responded to the extent i will respond. as a mother of five children, my oldest child is six years old the day i brought my fifth child home from the hospital, as a practicing and respectful catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. i don't think it should have anything to do with politics.
10:41 am
that's where you are taking it and i am not going there. >> so there you heard from the minority leader pelosi very angry by this back and forth with this reporter that she said had an agenda. i should tell you at the beginning of the press conference they talked about this bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks and that just moved out of the house judiciary committee and gd the republicans are focused on issues the americans aren't focused and they should be focused on jobs instead. >> where does the bill stand now. >> it was able to pass the house judiciary committee by a vote of 20-12 and supported by the all male republican group panel on the committee and even if this bill gets to the house floor and passes the house it faces very tough chances in the democratic controlled senate, not to mention what would happen if it ever got to the president's desk. this is not something the president would be expected to
10:42 am
sign, suzanne. >> athena jones, thank you. very passionate issue, of course. the nsa keeping track of phone calls but did you know that internet sites like facebook track a whole lot more? we will break that down for you up next.

10:45 am
in the gulf of mexico. an engine room fired theft thousands stranded on the ship without electricity or working toilets and now the same ship scheduled to set sail again today. the four-night cruise to mexico and the western caribbean is sold out. a company statement says the ship has undergone $115 million in repairs and upgrades. all of this talk about government surveillance probably has you wondering how much does the government actually know about you? what about the private companies allegedly involved in the data mining as well? most say that they don't provide the government with direct access to servers but we do know, right, they are tracking at least some of our web activity. alison kosik at the new york stock exchange, do we know how extensive this is? >> we wanted to find out how extensive this is. we reached out to a few of the big tech companies about what they do with the information that we all willingly and
10:46 am
knowingly pass around so freely on their websites. facebook wound up being the most forthcoming. facebook says they don't collect any web browsing history. they say the only exception is if you are on a computer and visit a site part of facebook's exchange platform. say target is a partner and you visit its website on the same browser you may see a target ad pop up on the news feed. facebook says the primary way they store your data is when you take explicit action. say you like macy's or comment on the page of your favorite tv show. even when that info is given to a third party, a facebook says they don't know your name, that you're just a number in a bigger demographic, so whether this is an invasion of privacy or a good way to personalize the user experience, it really depends on who you ask. if you're a woman and a big shopper, wouldn't you rather see ads for ann taylor instead of a hardware store? by tracking your data, these companies better able are better
10:47 am
