we'll still wait on all of that. next big decision day, monday, could be a very busy one. in arizona wildfire in the prescott national forest growing to 7,500 acres in the last two days. our affiliate knxv reports that 460 homes have been evacuated though no structures lost as of now. that's all the time i have for you today. thanks for watching. "around the world" starts now. shock and sadness around the world as news of james gandolfi gandolfini's death spreads. the actor being remembered much more than his role simply as a mob boss. >> the dow taking a nose dive. downright now you see 200 points. what's behind the big drop? could it be something someone said? >> and a blockbuster summer preview from the vatican, it promises news of a miracle that will amaze the world. welcome to "around the world." i'm suzanne malveaux.

>> and i'm michael holmes. thanks for your company. a group of senators reaching a deal that could add momentum to the push for immigration reform designed to overcome the objections of republicans concerned about border security. >> dealing with requirements on the immigration bill. it would also double the size of the border patrol from the current level of 21,000 agents. it also calls for 700 miles of fence along the border. so i want to bring in a couple players here. first of all, gloria borger. talk to us first of all what is important about this agreement and what do the republicans need to actually get it over to not only the senate but to the house? >> well, look. border enforcement is key to republicans. it's also key to democrats. when you look at the polls, by almost a 2-to-1 majority americans say that border enforcement should be first before we get to the path to citizenship. so this is a political imperative for them. and particularly if you're

republican and you've got some constituents reluctant on immigration to begin with, they're calling it a surge at the border. if you see that many more boots on the ground and you see that many more miles of fencing, the feeling is that government is actually serious about enforcement and will reach certain goals on enforcement. and then they will get to the path to citizenship. so it's a way to kind of get those reluctant republicans on board, and a way to keep the democrats there because some democrats were worried that republicans were putting too many poison pills in this legislation for them. >> and, gloria, republicans of course everyone knows took a beating among latinos in the presidential election. >> oh, yeah. >> the president got 71% of the latino vote. mitt romney 27%. so given all of that, how important is it for the gop now

to show they're moving forward on this issue? >> i'm going to quote a republican senator lindsey graham who said that the republican party was in what he called a demographic death spiral. okay? and that includes young voters. it also includes minority voters. and so he's one of those republicans who understands that the party needs to move a little bit where the country is. and that the country's minority population is growing. and that hispanic voters are a very important voter block for them that they could actually mine, and they haven't been able to do that because of immigration reform. and so there are some republicans who say, look, we have to get over this. but lindsey graham disagrees with a bunch of republicans, particularly in the house who are very reluctant to go along with this, and that's where the problem is going to come. i mean, this has got to pass the senate by a large margin because then maybe house speaker boehner

will be able to convince more of his recalcitrant republicans to go along with him. >> all right. gloria, appreciate it as always. gloria borger there. >> that's a heavy lift in washington. >> that is. >> a lot of people looking at this thinking, boy, if you can get that done, that would be a major accomplishment. >> will it though? will it happen? that's the thing. >> we'll wait. stocks tumbling right now. i want to bring in fe alicia tailor joins us from the new york stock exchange. how are they doing? the nasdaq, the dow? why is this happening? >> the investors watched, they listened, they did not like. >> well, when ben bernanke speaks, we all listen. this is a really interesting market, i have to tell you. because we're already off of the lows of the day. we were down about 230 points. right now we're down about 180 points on the dow. what's interesting about this market and a lot of traders i've spoken to have said you've got to remember this is data-dependent in what we heard from the federal reserve chairman yesterday. and frankly the economic news that's out there is still very

mixed. we saw jobless claims actually rise, but yet existing home sales also rose. so you've got still a very mixed picture. he has -- basically what they're saying is, you know, the traders and investors are re-pricing the risk in the marketplace. he said and kind of hedged himself on both ends, he's not going to make a move until he actually really sees economic numbers strengthen quite considerably. and he even forecasted that he doesn't believe the unemployment number is going to reach 6.5% until 2014. so this kind of a pullback. and i don't want people to think that this is anywhere near a correction because it's not. >> right. >> this is simply a pullback where the bears are now sort of stepping back into the marketplace as opposed to the bulls that have had such an incredibly strong run and a lot of people would argue out there that the bulls overran the market and this is a very natural thing. >> yeah. and of course with the dow around 15,000, 200 points ain't what it used to be. but still the name of our program, the numbers around the

world, the european markets, the asian markets, none of them liked it at all. >> no, they didn't. and you know what's also very significant about this is you've got to take a look at some of the commodities. take a look at gold and silver. those are down significantly. and the reason for that is because the dollar continues to gain strength. so what was traditionally considered, you know, a safe haven, may not necessarily be so coming -- going forward. because as the dollar strengthens, those commodities get more and more expensive. so that's a real crux of this marketplace as well. it's a very interesting time. we knew that at some point ben bernanke was going to have to quote/unquote taper, but it's very unlikely we're going to see it happen in 2013. so the market is really just digesting some of the verbiage and trying to understand what it means and decipher whether or not there are going to be stronger economic numbers going forward. and that's yet to be seen. >> do we know, felcia, whether

or not it's going to be harder to get jobs or harder to get homes? >> well, i think that's a whole different aspect of this equation. the job market just isn't strong yet. and, yes, the housing market is in a recovery mode, but it's a very slow recovery. there's only pockets of the united states where you're actually seeing home sales increase and people being able to feel a little bit more comfortable about shelling out that kind of money and being able to get loans in order to do so. so, again, it's still this very mixed picture. and that is a reflection of what you're seeing in the marketplace today. again, we're pulling back off of the lows of the session. so traders are still sort of, you know, there's a tug and pull between the bears and the -- the bulls and the bears right now as to who's really going to win. >> yeah. yeah. it was down more than 200 points earlier. looking a little bit of light there. all right, good to see you. felicia taylor there. >> no problem. i don't even know why i come here. nothing else to do i guess.

>> do you think it would help if you went some place so you could rest up a while? >> you mean like vegas? >> no, not vegas. some place where you could be looked at. >> tony soprano and his long-suffering therapist. for six seasons on hbo she tried to get through his thick skull the reasons why he was a sociopath, a racist, a gluten, and a killer. >> just to name a few things. millions of "sopranos" fans around the world. >> i liked his character. i liked he was in therapy. >> humorized it if you like. james gandolfini is dead has now spread around the world. he was in something like r50 tv shows and movies, but that one show "the sopranos" made him and that character a superstar everywhe everywhere. >> yeah. i want to bring in our correspondent in rome. of course he was in italy when

he died. and his huge character made a big deal about his characters being italian. italian-american. he was in italy at the time. how are people responding? >> people are very sad here, very shocked. italians consider him italian. his mother grew up in naples. he grew up with such a close influence of the italian culture. and it showed very much in the way he played his roles. he was here of course with his son, his 13-year-old son, just the two of them on their way to sicily where he was going to be honored at a film festival for lifetime achievement award. and he had spoken to the organizers of the film festival just two hours before he died and expressed he was excited to show his son sicily and take his son sort of back to his roots. so that adds, i think, a poignant poi poignan poignancy. it's a life that will be celebrated here certainly as much as in the united states. >> part of one of his reasons

for going was sort of to explore his italian roots. i suppose look at the logistics now, he is american, what is the procedure now for getting him back to the states? one presumes he's still at the morgue there. >> that's right. within 24 hours the italian authorities must perform an autopsy, that's a legal bit of bureaucracy that they cannot get around even if they know the cause of death. only at that time does the american embassy step in. and they'll have to issue a death certificate by the american embassy here in rome before they're able to expatriate his body, his remains back to the united states. that autopsy, that process is being pleatcompleted some time . with luck, things maybe will move faster than they normally do here for the sake of the family and they'll be able to get the death certificate and get his remains home if that's the intended destination. >> do we know where his son is? do we know if his son has been able to return back to the united states? or with family i presume? >> well, at this point people

are coming here as we understand. he's got of course family in naples still. those relatives of his mother are, as we understand, are on their way here to take care of the son and to provide some sort of comfort and care. at this point, you know, the american embassy is not involved. people in positions that can provide aid and care. he's a 13-year-old boy. he's a minor, so somebody is taking care of him. he can't be on his own. but only until the wheels of bureaucracy get into play will they be able to send him back to the united states. and we don't know yet if his wife is coming here. of course they have a 9-month-d baby, whether or not she'll come here to retrieve her remains of her husband. those are details we haven't been told quite yet. >> all right. barbie, thanks so much. >> and of course there was so much more to his career than just playing the mob boss in "the sopranos." >> in about 25 minutes we'll look at the many other roles and his accomplishments as well.

you'll want to stick around for that. >> just 51 years old. yeah. and possible peace talks between the u.s. and the taliban raising some new hopes that a captured american soldier could be released. >> yeah, we're talking about sergeant bergdahl. there have been videos released. you see one of them there. u.s. officials planning for his return in talks with the taliban, prisoner exchanges are on the agenda, we are told. >> senior administration official says those talks could start in the next few days. and the u.s. is now pushing ahead, but afghan president hamid karzai is angry over the talks. he points to taliban rhetoric about continuing to fight against the afghan government and foreign fighters. well, president karzai also upset about a new taliban office in qatar. >> seeing if they could present it as an alternative afghan

government, looked more of an embassy than a place to hold talks. and in brazil, a victory, for the anti-government protesters. they've been pouring into the streets, this has happened the last couple of weeks ago, sao palo, rio deja ne ro, they have decided to roll back bus increases that were supposed to happen here. >> that's what kicked it off. of course hiked fares by just nine cents recently, but that's a rlot for many people who use public transport. so you see in rio where an angry mob was trying to turn over one of the city's buses. >> we're talking about health care and education, they want improvements in all different types of areas. the protesters say that the government really needs to spend more on those kinds of services a lot less on the big sports events like the world cup. >> yeah. the olympics also coming up a lot of people worried about

those sorts of things. meanwhile, here's more of what we're working on for this hour for "around the world." >> the vatican says it's going to announce another miracle pushing pope john paul ii closer to sainthood. we'll talk with the church expert about what miracle might be. >> and speaking of miracles, investors could use one today. you know we've been keeping an eye on the markets. the dow down around 180 points or so. it was down more than 200 earlier. we're keeping a close eye on that. we'll be right back.

late-pope john paul ii needs to actually be on the books for him to officially become a saint. let's go to john allen, our senior vatican analyst joining us. tell us about the miracle and how big a deal it is. >> hi there, michael and suzanne. well, it's a very big deal because as you say it clears the way for john paul ii to be formally declared a saint. the vatican hasn't revealed any details. they wait for the process to be completed typically. what we know on background is it apparently involves the healing of a woman in costa rica who was suffering from a severe brain injury who prayed to the late-pope for assistance and the reports are that on the evening of may 1st, 2011, which is the day the final step before sainthood she reportedly was heeled. vatican officials, michael and suzanne, are actually calling this a double miracle because not only did she apparently recover from this brain injury, but members of her family who

have lost their faith have also returned to the church. so they're claiming it's sort of a double play for the late-pope. >> john, explain how this works. just for folks out there who might not understand, how do these miracles actually verified or made public or made official in some way? >> well, the theology of sainthood is that a saint is somebody who lives such a holy life that they are already in heaven with god. now, the question of course is how in the world do you know that? and the answer that the church has traditionally given is that if somebody is able to engineer a miracle, that's proof that they are close to god and able to intercede to help somebody still on earth. in john paul's case the miracle for his beatification and there's one miracle required and another for -- the miracle for beatification in 2011 was a cure for nun of parkinson's disease.

in this case it's the woman from costa rica. these miracle reports are viewed by a team of doctors to make sure they're inexplicable medically. and then there's a body of cardinals that has to sign-off and finally the pope himself. once this is done the vatican is saying this could occur as early as next october, which, michael and suzanne, would be an all-time land speed record. normally the vatican thinks in centuries. in this case it could happen as quickly as eight years. >> you took our next question and answered it. because this has been a pretty speedy path to sainthood. john, always great to have you on the program. john allen there. and still ahead, a rare punishment in qatar, a member of the royal family now going to prison after he's held partly responsible for a fire that killed 13 toddlers. man: i know the name of eight princesses. i'm on expert on softball. and tea parties.

in qatar, five people were found guilty today of death by negligence. this is a tragic fire that happened that killed 19 people

including 13 toddlers. the fire happened in may of last year at a day care center in a mall in doha. >> it was all smoke in mirrors when it came down to safety. one of those convicted and sentenced to prison is a member of qatar's royal family actually. more on the story from cnn's. >> lily jackson and wilson week celebrate their second birthday, but within months of the celebration the triplets from new zealand were dead, along with ten other children who perished inside a day care center in doha's mall. the parents are left with their memories and questions. >> the phrase we tend to use is we're deafened by silence. silence in our house. because, i mean, we had a really busy house with three 2-year-olds. and similarly we've been deafened by silence from the authorities in qatar who just

fail to communicate or show any interest. >> qatari authorities have not responded to cnn's calls and e-mails, but in the aftermath of the tragedy, officials offered their condolences to the families and launched an investigation that concluded that the fire was caused by a short circuiting lightbulb and quickly spread because of flammable paint. witnesses describe a chaotic rescue operation that lasted for hours. in their day care center, the children and their helpers were trapped. four nursery staff and two firefighters died along with the 13 children. >> the second exit out of the day care, which the children could have used to escape, was locked shut from the outside. so they couldn't get out. the emergency services had no map of the mall. seemed to be completely oblivious of anything that was in there. >> the investigation cited safety issues and blamed the

incident on "lack of adherence to laws, systems and measures by all concerned parties to different degrees." but the investigating committee has so far only released highlights of its findings. the weeks and other families want the entire report made public. given the findings of the investigation, many question whether qatar is ready to host a growing number of tourists and the 2022 football world cup. >> if the awareness is higher on all ends from the people who hear fire alarms to the people who respond to fire alarms. but the problem is there just aren't enough people. there are not enough civil defense firefighters and officials to look into all the different buildings that are not safety compliant. >> this is one of the last videos the weeks family have of their children, something to hold onto as they wait for answers. the couple also await the arrival of twins this coming august. >> we almost haven't allowed

ourselves to really celebrate and enjoy it, which in itself is a shame. new children can never replace lily, jackson and wilson. >> cnn, abu dhabi. >> that is heartbreaking. >> that is mind blowing. i actually went to that mall about three or four years ago and it is, as they say, it had like canals running through it and gondolas. a venetian theme. there were problems with electrical, the paint was flammable and noxious. there's a lot of worries there in qatar and other places like that. >> yeah. the regulations are in place? >> no enforced. depends who owns it. are you a powerful person? what gets seen? what doesn't? there's a lot of concern. when you see something like that, horrible. he played an arrogant mob boss, but in real life james gandolfini was private and shy even. we're going to hear one of his rare interviews right after the break.

hbo began running on screen messages last night mourning a man they called a beloved member of the hbo family. >> they're talking about the actor james gandolfini, the star of the network's enormous show "sopranos." >> so an itunes just in the past few hours the first season of the "sopranos" broke into the top ten tv series chart. that's right. people are downloading, they are buying the show in big numbers today, even though the series ended years ago. >> amazing, isn't it? it might surprise you just how busy gandolfini was in movies and in theaters. if you only knew him as tony so pr prano, you missed out. >> private, reserved and painfully shy, james gandolfini

grant d one of his only in-depth interviews in 2004. >> where were you born? >> new jersey. >> what are your parents names? >> sandra and james. >> and where were they born? sk >> my father was born in italy. and then when he was 2 or 3, he came here. my mother was born in america and moved back to italy when she was 6 months old. and then came back when she was about 20. >> perhaps because of his own ties to the actor studio having studied there himself, gandolfini opened up in the interview revealing a rare look at his early years. >> were you a well-behaved kid? >> up to a point. >> what point? >> high school. >> gandolfini capped his teen angst years earning a bachelor's degree from rutgers in 1983. then he went to new york city to manage a bar. >> the club was straight two

nights a week, gay two nights a week and kind of everything else two nights a week. so i spent a few years just watching people in amazement. saw a lot of interesting things that i stored up for later. >> encouraged by a college friend and nightclub regular, gandolfini attended his first acting class. >> i went in and i was scared to death. i was shaking. >> terrified. but fascinated and determined, gandolfini would spent e spend the better part of the next decade mastering his craft and finally catching a break in 1992 on broadway. >> i auditioned for the role of steve in streetcar named desire with jessica lang and alec baldwin. >> a few more theater roles would follow before the director was given a role in "a stranger among us." following several smaller roles

in "mr. wonderful" and opposite brad pitt in "true romance," his career gained momentum in the mid-90s playing gina davis' boyfriend in angie. >> we're getting married and you can't go out with me no more? >> "term nol velocity" and "crimson tide," the juror, fallen, she's so lovely and several co-starring john travolta including "a civil action" and "get shorty," but it wasn't the big screen where the jersey man would find the role he was born to play. in his late 30s gandolfini landed the role that would make him a star, new jersey mob boss tony soprano. >> you all right? >> my leg is broken. the bone's coming through.

>> let me see. [ bleep ]. >> he never expected to get the part as he told inside the actor studio. >> i got the script and i remember reading it and laughing out loud and i said there's no way i'll be able to do this. i really thought they would pick someone different than i. >> how different? in what way? >> suave, good looking mafia guy. something a little more leading man type basically. >> he may not have considered himself leading man material, but from the first episode of the "sopranos," he was an und y undeniably compelling screen presence. his tony soprano was part family man, vulnerable at times at least in his session with his therapist. >> you always talk about him more like a son. >> in some ways he was. >> a man of strong appetites, sexual and otherwise. >> you got time for lunch? >> you are my lunch. >> an unapologetic mobster with

an explosive temper. >> tony, i'm sorry. i'm just having some bad luck. >> there. just got worse. >> shortly after the show debuted in 1999, series creator david chase spoke to cnn about his leading man. >> we have a great cast. and of that cast, james gandolfini is really important to the equation. i think, you know, he's playing a mob boss, a killer, a tough guy. and i think if he didn't have someone playing that role who also could illicit feelings of empathy and sympathy and even pity, i think we'd be -- we wouldn't have the show we have. >> some of gandolfini's finest acting came in scenes with edi falco who played his wife. their marriage featured regular betrayals and titanic fights. >> allow me!

>> and moments of surprising tenderness. >> to my husband, you're not just a funny, smart, lovable, good looking guy, you're mine. thank you, baby. >> happy birthday. >> falco spoke of her co-star in glowing terms. >> i work most often with jim gandolfini, who is so easy to be married to and to feel like was family with me. it was just so easy to feel we had this long history together. and love acting with him. acting with him is like when you're a kid and you're playing, you know, house or something. it felt very ungrown-up, very unactory, we were just pretending and felt as real as anything has. it was an absolute joy. >> finish telling me about the day you collapsed. >> lorraine played his psychiatrist dr. melfi. >> great actor. when you work with someone who is better than you, you have to rise to the occasion.

you either fall to the side or you rise to the occasion. and i guess when we just sit in those chairs, i kind of rise to the occasion. he's a brilliant actor to watch. he really is. >> that brilliance earned the actor multiple honors. >> hi. thanks. >> he won a trio of emmys, three screen actors guild awards and a golden globe for his work on the show. after accepting his first emmy in 2000, he spoke to the media backstage. >> i was very surprised. i was shocked. >> on that occasion he offered his own thoughts on tony soprano. >> he tries to do the right thing and screws everything up by doing that. kind of like a ralph cramden kind of honeymooners thing more dangerous. >> in 2003 gandolfini threatened to leave, hbo sued him for breach of contract and the issue

was settled with gandolfini reportedly doubling his salary to over $800,000 an episode. gandolfini starred in all 86 episodes of the "sopranos" over the course of six seasons. the run ended in june 2007 with an enigmatic cliff hanger. viewers were left wondering if tony soprano lived or died. the conclusion of the "sopranos" was not just the end of an industry changing television phenomenon, it also allowed gandolfini to take his career in new directions. >> he respected the craft of acting, you know, immensely. he took it very seriously. >> now in his 40s he was free to take on non-tough guy characters branching out from his iconic portrayal of tony soprano. most were supporting roles like in 2009 "the taking of pellum" that same year he voiced carol

in "where the wild things are" a movie based on the children's classic book. >> you're king. look at me. i'm big. >> he returned to the stage in the broadway comedy "god of carnage." starring alongside jeff daniels, hope davis, gandolfini played a frumpy businessman earning him a tony nomination. the show itself won a tony for best play of 2009. last year he took on a commanding yet small part as the cia director in "zero dark thirty". >> i want to know more about who's inside this house by the end of the week. >> any time there was a role that needed some kind of a sense of a little bit of menace and authority, he was a good guy to play that. >> the same year the "sopranos" ended, gandolfini stepped behind the lens as executive producer, again for hbo with a live day memories home from iraq. a documentary where veterans opened up about their graphic

war experiences. his interest in vets went beyond the documentary. in 2010 he traveled with other actors from the "sopranos" to afghanistan on a uso tour. >> it's an honor to meet you. >> he then earned a prism award in 2011 for war torn, 1861 to 2010, a documentary that examined post-traumatic stress disorder especially among soldiers. >> this was something that was definitely a passion project of his. i know in his small community he knew people that were involved in the military. and i think this was his way of drawing attention to it. >> i see a role model. >> continuing his long relationship with hbo, gandolfini teamed up with the network in 2010 this time as craig gilbert. long gone was the mafia persona. instead he plaid e played a beard documentary following in a america's first reality tv show. he was preparing to star in an hbo series called "criminal

justice." the fate of that show is now unclear. fiercely private, gandolfini was known to skirt questions about his family life. >> he never felt prey to the trappings of celebrity. he was never interested in that. he didn't want to do the fame game. >> he leaves behind two children, a teenage son from his first marriage, and a daughter born in october to his second wife, debra lynn. the couple married in hawaii in 2008. dead at just 51, a life and an acting career cut short. some had hoped to see tony soprano again on the big screen. though he was known to shy away from the spotlight, he opened up in an interview with inside the actor studio answering whimsically when asked about the end of his life. >> if heaven exists, what would you like to hear god say when you arrive at the pearly gates? >> take over for a while. i'll be right back. no, no, no, no. >> that's it. >> no, no. >> you dare not change it. it's too good. >> think of the possibilities.

want to get another check of the stocks which have been tumbling all morning here. felicia taylor joins us from the new york stock exchange to explain why is this happening? >> well, basically the reason it's happening is because obviously we've heard hints from the federal reserve that, you know, that tapering that we've been talking about is going to begin at some point. but then again that really wasn't a surprise. ben bernanke, the chairman of the federal reserve, kind of hedged his bets on both ends sort of saying as soon as he sees the data that corresponds with that. in other words, the market is dependent on the data, then he will start to pull back on the $85 billion bond purchases that have been going on. frankly, you know, a lot of traders out there have been propped up artificially by this

stimulus. i mean, this is something that needed to happen in the marketplace. many people would argue that the market was too frothy and gone too far to the upside. so the bulls are pulling back a little bit, the bears are out there taking advantage of an opportunity in what is obviously going to be looking at economic fundamentals going forward. and even today we got two numbers that were a little bit conflicting. an increase in jobless claims by 18,000, but yet existing home sales also on the rise. so the question and one of the biggest worries out there is are we going to see deflation coming down the road? and that is actually a decrease in prices. yes, if you go to the grocery store, you know, things that you and i do and everybody does on a daily basis, you're going to see higher prices. when it comes to larger ticket items, we haven't seen that yet. and that's a concern for the marketplace as well. so a pullback like this, absolutely normal at this stage of the game. >> tell us then about the nervousness overseas. i mean, you look at the major european bosses, asia for sure,

all o them seem to be down between 2% and nearly 3%. >> well, the concern is if the federal reserve is going to start to pull back -- and, again, i'm cautioning that by saying i don't think it's going to happen before the end of this year, will other central banks do the same thing? is this going to be a coordinated effort in some way? are we going to see the bank of japan start to pull back? are we going to see other central banks do the same thing? that's why. the federal reserve sort of hints at it, but doesn't actually come out and say that they're going to do it. will other banks do that? and that's why you're seeing this sort of i don't want to say coordinated selloff but certainly bears going into the marketplace and taking back a little bit of profits. again, i want to emphasize that this is not anywhere near a panic selling. i mean, this is -- i can feel it on the floor of the exchange. it's a very calm pullback. yes, there's more volatility in the marketplace. hopefully the market will go

back to watching fundamentals as opposed to being propped up by the federal reserve. >> yeah. all about the sentiment. felicia, as always, thanks so much. coming up, monsoon, rains, flash floods, this is in northern india. many of the victims are pilgrims visiting a sacred river. we'll have a report from the region right after the break. ♪ if you have high cholesterol, here's some information that may be worth looking into. in a clinical trial versus lipitor,
