3:00 am
that does it for us. thanks for watching. that is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but skittles trying to get home. >> it's not a case about self-defense. it's a case about self-denial. >> the evidence is in. the arguments have been made. now it is up to six women. what will be george zimmerman's fate? we are in jury watch. a home to go. i have family, i live in great comfort. >> holed up in an airport lounge
3:01 am
for three weeks, he's not so comfortable anymore. edward snowden said he's ready for asylum but there's a problem, getting out of the airport. and it could be the day that the royal baby makes his or her debut. we're outside to await the grand entrance of the newest prince or princess. good morning, everyone, i'm poppy harlow. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to have you, straight up 6:00, on this "new day." good to have you poppy. >> it's cooler here. >> it's always a wonderful 74 degrees here always in the studio. >> sanford, florida, that's where we're starting. >> absolutely. >> sunrise still more than 30 minutes away or so. of course, that it's where year starting. that's the story. >> three hours from now, six women will return to work. the job they've been out three
3:02 am
plus weeks. their job to decide the fate of george zimmerman. their choices find him guilty of second degree murder, manslaughter or set him 43. cnn's george howell is outside the courthouse this morning. good morning, george. >> reporter: good morning. so it was a very interesting day and now here we are on -- arguments, the final stage in the trial of george zimmerman for the fatal shooting of 17-year-old trayvon martin. >> a teenager is dead. he is dead through no fault of his own. he is dead because another man made assumptions. >> reporter: prosecutor bernie de la rionda went into great detail, pointing out inconsistencies in zimmerman's story. from the national television interview he did to the video re-enactment conducted with police. the prosecutor then picked apart zimmerman's account of what
3:03 am
happened. >> why is he able to yell, if the defendant claims the victim was -- or is he lying about that? look at the gun, look at the size of this gun, how did the victim see that in the darkness? >> reporter: in closing, de la rionda even elicited a reaction from george zimmerman. >> unfortunately, the only photographs left of trayvon martin are those m.e. photographs. they've still got other photographs, we saw some of them in football of his younger days but they can't take any more photos. and that's true because of the reactions of one person. the man before you. george zimmerman. the man who is guilty of second degree murder. >> reporter: before closing arguments even began -- >> just when i thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, the state is seeking third degree murder based on child
3:04 am
abuse? >> reporter: defense attorney don west didn't mince words during the hearing on the state's request to include a lesser charge of third degree felony murder as one of the options for jurors to consider. west called the state's strategy a trick. >> this is outrageous. it's outrageous that the state would seek to do this at this time. >> reporter: in the end, judge debra nelson ruled against that option but will allow jurors to consider manslaughter as a possible alternative to second degree murder. george howell, cnn, sanford, florida. >> and here we are now, the day that the verdict could come down could happen today. could happen monday. could even happen sunday. it's very unclear exactly what will go down with this judge as she basically waits for this jury to come back from deliberations. we heard from prosecutor john guy the other day. he made an emotional appeal to these jurors, telling them to look into the heart. look into the heart of george
3:05 am
zimmerman. look into the heart of trayvon martin. but specifically ask whether george zimmerman wanted to shoot or just didn't want to shoot, if it was an accident. he suggested that it was. and we also heard from mark o'mara. mark o'mara did sort of a legal lesson, if you will. explaining to jurors, first of all, what it takes to charge a person for a crime. basically to find a person guilty or not guilty. went through great explanation with that. and then he showed several charts. and he showed that video reenactment of the scene from the account of george zimmerman. and also explain to the jurors that they have to decide the case based on facts, not on circumstantial evidence. it will be interesting to see when this happens or what happens. we're on verdict watch. could come down today. could come down tomorrow possibly. but we're as waiting to see what happens monday. >> absolutely. the world is certainly watching
3:06 am
this as we've been glued to the screens here. our thanks to george howell. all right. now, i want to take you to moscow, and the latest move by admitted na leaker edward snowden. he has been in the airport in moscow for three weeks now but now he wants to stay a little bit longer. good morning to you -- good afternoon to you. tell us -- >> a meeting of russian-based workers to the airport where he's been staying. and he opened this meeting with a statement. that's the first time we've seen or heard from him since he arrived. as you mentioned three weeks ago, take a look.
3:07 am
>> a little over one month ago, i had a family, a home in paradise and i lived in great comfort. i also had the capability without any warrant to search for, seize, and read your communication. anyone's communications at anytime. are >> reporter: so during that meeting snowden announced his changes of plans. he now wants to stay in russia at least temporarily. he wants the russian government to grant him asylum here. that is because he believes it's very likely if he tries to travel to venezuela, one of the latin american countries, that the united states or its allies will intercept him. he has previously withdrawn a previous application for asylum 34 russia. if he did that he would have to stop all work harming the united states. snowden now says he's willing ready and promised to live up to
3:08 am
that consideration. >> victor, it's interesting because the white house came out with a statement, we know that president obama talked to ved putin. >> let's talk about that conversation with vladimir putin. they talked of course about the snowden affair. >> we get part of that story. >> reporter: russian president vladimir putin and president obama spoke by phone about edward snowden. earlier in the day white house press secretary jay carney in what was very tough language took issue with the meeting snowden held at the airport in moscow. carney accused the russians of providing what he called a platform for propaganda. he also said that snowden is by
3:09 am
no means a human rights activist. no word on whether president obama expressed any of that in his conversation with vladimir putin. but the white house says it remains hopeful it will not damage u.s. and russian relations. meantime, out of texas for you this morning the texas state senate has just approved one of the strictest anti-borges measures in the entire country. this bill bans abortions after 20 weeks. it requires clinics to perform abortions, meet the same arounds as emergency clinics. that matters because that could mean most abortion clinics in texas don't meet that standard and can close. it has a strong backing from republican governor rick perry. a version of this bill died after an 11-hour filibuster by senator wendy davis. and passing on friday, texas say handful of conservative states that has enacted similar laws. a third person has now died
3:10 am
as a result of the asiana airlines crash. a hospital official in san francisco said a girl is dieing from her injuries. no details about her. but police are now saying one of the other two teenagers who died after the crash was hit by a fire truck responding. the 16-year-old was on the ground, she was covered in foam when she was hit. it's not clear if she was dead already when the truck hit her. you remember this name and this face. ariel castro, he now faces more than 1,000 charges for allegedly holding three young women hostage in his cleveland home for almost a decade. this is a new indictment. and it replaces the earlier one. that earlier one only covered the first 4 1/2 years of captivity for those young women. the new charges again include two counts of alleged murder because castro allegedly beat

3:12 am
voices, the terrorist thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions but nothing changed in my life except this. weakness, fear and hopelessness died. strength, power and courage was born. >> teenager, malala said the pink scarf she's wearing once belonged to the late prime minister benazir bhutto. >> she just amazes me. she said at the point, is this not about me, this is about every young boy and girl. >> she's proudly defiant. and initially what her call was for children to be educated. and that has added to a list of other causes. coming up zimmerman defense attorney mark o'mara said his client would never have been arrested if it weren't for a smear campaign led by one man. we're going to tell you who he
3:13 am
blames, also -- the man who claimed to be the boston strangler exhumed. still we might know if albert de salvo was a serial killer or a serial liar. i think farmers care more about the land than probably anyone else. we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us.

3:17 am
pulled into this? >> no, ben crump was someone like him. maybe for some good reasons to begin with. if he believed if there was something here swept under the rug, then get on into it, i'm very clear about that. >> but you didn't quite say it that way, if it weren't for ben crump, george zimmerman would be free in this trial? >> that's correct. >> i believe it was a made-up story for purposes that had nothing to do with george zimmerman. they complain about trayvon martin being victimized. george zimmerman was victimized by a publicity to smear him to call him a racist when he wasn't and call him a murderer when he wasn't. >> there are a lot of people who agree with mark omar rar. there are a lot of people who see ben crump who has brought this case to the forefront. without his charisma and help,
3:18 am
had-t wouldn't have gotten the attention. >> and he also says that the jury remains as much as mystery now to him as the day that those six women were seated. i want to play more of martin savidge's interview with you with mark owe mare rar. o'mara. >> let's talk about the makeup of the jury. six women. one person of color and five who are mothers, correct? >> yes. interesting because the jury selection process is very intriguing to me. i enjoy the process. >> that the jury you wanted? >> yes. in this way. when we were going through it, i was surprised that the state struck the first black male that she vuk. they struck. i was surprised by that. they seemed to be moving down the path to get a bunch of white women. and i think that's inappropriate. i challenged them on that.
3:19 am
the judge said they were removing white women because they were white women. we went to four and then further down the list. so in my perfect jury, i would like more of a demographic switch. maybe more males. but i'm very okay with the six people that we have now, for reasons that we talked about. i think they're very attentive and listening. >> do you think that maybe a man might take the self-defense, hear that differently than five women or six women, or five among them? >> it's so hard to say. i've been batting about zero in what jurors are going to do and how they're thinking. my greatest failing is i wish i could get inside a jury room just once. having said that, i think the women are going to be sensitized to the fact that a son has been lost. trayvon martin has been lost. that's a sensitivity that
3:20 am
they'll had-v. then again, i wonder what it might be in a situation to having been victimized. i think they're a good panel. >> they have been very attentive. from seeing that myself. >> very engaged, when we walk up towards them. >> also important that the judge has ruled that the names of the jurors will not be released for some time. we want to note that we asked the state of florida prosecutors if they would speak to us. they declined. they said after a verdict is handed down, they will speak to our sister network hln. we also spoke to the martin attorneys. and they said they will speak after a verdict is awarded. we will have much more on "new day" after the break. ee? ...i just uh paid my bill. did you really? from the plane? yeah, i can manage my policy, get roadside assistance, pretty much access geico 24/7. sounds a little too good to be true sir.

certain medical staff that will include the baby's sex, birth weight and time of bench. a notice will be driven with a police escort from the wing of the hospital to buckingham palace. it will be brought inside buckingham palace before being displayed on an easel just beyond the gates. the very same easel used to announce the birth of prince william. and then two simultaneous but separate gun salutes. 41-round salute fired by the king's troupe and a 62-round fired at the tower of london. signaling to the country and the world that the true monarch has finally arrived. >> that is allot. erin mclaughlin joins us live outside of st. mary's hospital in london. erin, how soon after the birth will we know, let's say, the baby's name?

baby -- kate and william's baby, will it be a boy, will it be a girl? you can bet on a lot of things. >> bun british book maker will give you 4 to 7 odds, 5 to 4 for a son. you can bet on the names, alexandra and charlotte and george and james among the favorites. katie nicole is live in london for us this morning. hello, katie, what is the latest on the baby watch? >> reporter: well, we don't believe that the duchess is in the hospital just yet. there's a few things, today is the day that we were expecting. this was the due date. we've still got some time to go. william is still at a polo match tomorrow. now, this could just be a smoke screen. i've got a source at the match that says he is due to be there. of course, if anything happens, he can be helicoptered into london very quickly. he's gault a helicopter on standby in the gardens of their welsh home where he's been
3:50 am
working so he can get back quickly. and if he needs to get back from a polo match, he can be in london as soon as. it shows two things, the families are going on as usual. kate's family were at a concert at buckingham palace. and kate was keen to go but i think she's drawn the line. she's got her feet up. it could possibly be any day now. >> hopefully, ignoring all the press coverage, given how crazy it is in the united states, i can imagine what the press coverage is like there. >> reporter: well it's wonderful here in london at the moment. the sun is shining. as you just heard from erin, there's a huge presence down at the hospital. there has been since last weekend. there have been photographers staging out their places. page people to sit on mats, hold on to ladders to make sure they don't lose that prize spot because the picture of the couple coming downed steps with their newborn is going to be the most important picture we've seen in a very long time. >> and this begs the question
3:51 am

3:57 am
how did you make this kind of blunt? >> when i used to speak about corporate governments. there was a phrase that i use what's hubris is terminal. people who fall prey to hubris end up falling to themselves. that is something that government is susceptible to. those who feel like they're increasingly important to power. and this is something that i think infected me. the and the fall from grace is incredibly painful. it is something from which you learn, and hopefully, you can then move on and contribute. >> so we've got to let people in on the funny moment. why bill hader is slouching his in chair. because bill hader played funny skits on "snl." >> very funny skits. >> i don't know if spitzer knew about them. >> he probably watched them.
3:58 am
>> yeah, he made a serious point at the end. if you saw the guy slouching, yeah, i was the guy that made fun of him. >> he knew what was coming. a typhoon lost some steam. it's hitting hard, the island with heavy rain more than a foot in some areas. that storm should hit mainland china today. >> and always an incredible sight, a huge dust storm coverage part of the phoenix area. i want to take you to alexandra steele who is in the weather center. this is called a haboob, right? >> it's absolutely called a haboob. it's like a wall of dust in phoenix. a haboob is really a dust storm. i want to show you how it forms. the phoenix, they see about three a year during the summer months between june and september so it's not out of question. here it is. what you need. dusty terrain, we certainly have
3:59 am
that around phoenix. and then also you need thunderstorms. can't happen without it. within thunderstorms there's uplift. then within the thunderstorm, there's also a downdraft and that pushes and creates what's called a gust front. and this gust front kicks and kicks all that dust up creating that wall of dust. that's what we saw. really, the pictures were amazing, especially in slow motion. a little closer to home on the eastern seaboard. there's moisture rain train which we've had for weeks. this inundation continues from washington all the way up to new york. expect moisture, a lot of rain at the beaches as well. southwest and the northwest, really pleasant and sunny. the biggest thing you'll notice in the northeast are the temperatures. today, 77 in boston, 80s to 86, then tomorrow, we get into the 90s. then guys, we get to 96 degrees in washington by wednesday. 95 in new york. so temperatures really getting very hot this coming week in the northeast. >> there's a reason there's that
4:00 am
cliche hotter than july. we are feeling it. >> absolutely. alexandra, thanks so much. >> thank you for starting your morning with us. >> we've got much more ahead on the next hour of "new day saturday." that starts right now. ♪ that is not an unarmed teenager. with nothing but skittles. trying to get home. >> it's not a case about self-defense. it's a case about self-denial. >> the evidence is in. the arguments have been made. now, it's up to six women. what will be george zimmerman's fate? we're on verdict watch. >> a little over a month ago, i had a family, a home in paradise, and i lived in great comfort. >> holed up in a moscow transit lounge for three weeks. he's not in great comfort anymore. now edward snowden says he's ready for asylum. but there's a problem. getting out of the airport.
4:01 am
and why is president clinton having a phone chat with justin bieber? after damaging video surfaces. we'll have the answers in today's block. good morning. i'm poppy harlow. >> i'm victor blackwell. thanks for watching right here on your "new day." welcome. ♪ and we're starting this new morning, this "new day" in sanford, florida, where the sun is barely up. but the spotlight is beating down on the george zimmerman murder trial. >> in just a couple hours, six women, the jurors, will return to work, their job to decide the fate of george zimmerman. their choices find him guilty of second degree murder or manslaughter or not guilty. our george howell has been following the case the entire
4:02 am
time. he's live outside the courthouse this morning. good morning, george. >> reporter: poppy, victor, good morning. you're right, at 9:00 a.m., we expect the jury to return to the courthouse. deliberations could continue. a verdict could come down any day as we wait for them to arrive on a final decision on the case. yesterday, let's talk about what we saw in court, we gave mark o'mara give the closing statements. when you look at what he did, really, it was sort of a legal lesson. first he wanted to make sure what it took, what it takes to charge a person as guilty or not guilty. and he also did something that was interesting, he showed how this case has somewhat turned around. keep in mind, the burden is on the prosecutor to prove guilty. to prove that a person is guilty without doubt. but for a defense attorney, it's always to show that there's some reasonable doubt. he said it's all turned around in this case. and even though it's not his job, he can prove that his client is innocent. on the other hand, we heard from
4:03 am
prosecutors and it seemed to be more of an emotional plea. prosecutor john guy asking the jury to consider what was in each person's heart, what was in george zimmerman's heart, what was in trayvon martin's heart, and he asked, was it fear? listen to what both attorneys said so you can get a sense of what happened in court. >> the state never, ever loses their responsibility to take away reasonable doubt from you. don't let them do it with innuendo. don't let them do it with sympathy, don't let them do it with screeching. >> i don't have any video clips for you or big long, ten-foot long timelines. i'm asking to you use your common sense. use your heart. use what you know is real.
4:04 am
>> reporter: and again, you heard john guy saying there it's a common sense case. that's something that he really wanted the jury to walk away with. >> george, there was a noticeable difference in each attorney's delivery from bernie de la rionda to mark o'mara and then to john guy with that rebuttal. what can it you tell us about the way the jurors respond and respond to each of these attorneys? are they receiving them as differently as the deliveries have been delivered, i guess? >> reporter: you know, and you can tell, regardless of which attorney was making arguments, the jury was paying very close attention. when mark o'mara was given, again, what seemed to be sort of a legal lesson, you saw jurors looking up, looking down, taking notes. they were always dialed in. mark o'mara, said, look, i know jurors sometimes they can fall asleep in this process. it's a long process, there's a lot of detail. but he said, he noticed this
4:05 am
jury was dialled in throughout this case. >> george powell, thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. let's go to texas where the state has approved one of the strictest anti-abortion bans in the country. it bans abortions after 20 weeks and provided clinics who perform abortions to meet the same standards. that could cause most to close. republican rick perry said he's proud, quote, lawmakers took the final step to protect life. a version died after filibuster. and finally, friday, texas joins a handful of states in enacting similar laws. and aerial castro, you remember this man and face. he now faces 1,000 charges allegedly holding three women in his home for almost a decade.
4:06 am
it replaces the first indictment which covered only the first 4 1/2 years of captivity. the new charges still cover second degree murder. castro allegedly beat one of the women. if this goes to trial, that will begin on august 5th. and in san francisco, the runway where the wreckage of asiana flight 214 sat for nearly a week, that runway is now back open this morning. the airport should be operating at full capacity. the plane's broken fuselage was taken away on friday. the investigation shifts to the ntsb headquarters in washington. we know this morning, unfortunately, there has been another death in that plane crash. three people have died after that plane clipped the seawall short of the runway and crashed. police say one victim was actually hit by a fire truck on
4:07 am
the runway when that truck was responding. it's still not clear if that victim was already dead or not. from the white house to the kremlin. don't do it, don't give asylum to nsa leaker edward snowden. cnn's phil black tells us about snowden's new moves to get out of the airport. >> reporter: this is the first video of edward snowden since he fled hong kong and arrived at share met ved airport. >> a little over a month ago, i had a family, a home in paradiez. >> reporter: he excited activ t activists to meet him. they returned after an hour, announcing that snowden has changed intentions. he now wants political asylum in russia, but only temporarily. >> he wants to move on to latin america, but he feels the only way he's going to be safe in
4:08 am
russia is to get asylum in this country. that's what he's planning to do. >> reporter: he told them he's changed his plans because he has little choice. >> he said that the united states government will do whatever it takes not to let him go to latin american countries. >> reporter: those at the meeting said snowden asked them to levy for asylum. >> he is not free now. >> that's our phil black. he's been on top of the edward snowden saga for weeks in moscow. he'll join us live next hour. this is another story we're following closely this morning. you'll remember this girl, a pakistani teenager shot in the head by the taliban. she's speaking out at the united nations. malala yousafzai is peeking out and why being targeted by the
4:09 am
taliban has only made her stronger. >> thought that the bullet would silence us, but they failed. and although that silence came, thousands of voices, the terrorists thought that they would change my aim and stop my ambitions. but nothing changed in my life except this. weakness, fear and hopelessness died. strength, power and courage was born. >> and malala yousafzai said that pink scarf she was wearing once belonged to the late prime minister benazir bhutto. it struck me she said this is not about me, this is about every young woman and man fight for their education. >> that was the reason for the
4:10 am
attack. most likely why he was attacked. let's go to great britain. will and kate's baby due any day. the child will be born in the lind dough wing at st. mary's hospital the same place where prince william and prince harry joined the royal family. baby memorabilia is flying off the shelves. if there's ever been, there's a trinket or token for everything. oddsmakers are taking bets on the baby's gender and name and even where they'll go to school. the name of the first date -- the first husband or wife >> they can't get enough. >> alexandra and george on the top of the names list. and in less than two hours now, the jury in the george zimmerman trial will be back in the courthouse in sanford, florida, to continue their deliberations. >> it's after a lot of hours of closing arguments. what they heard. that's next.

to come together on something that concerns all of us. obesity. and as the nation's leading beverage company, we can play an important role. that includes continually providing more options. giving people easy ways to help make informed choices. and offering portion controlled versions of our most popular drinks. it also means working with our industry to voluntarily change what's offered in schools. but beating obesity will take continued action by all of us, based on one simple common sense fact... all calories count. and if you eat and drink more calories than you burn off, you'll gain weight. that goes for coca-cola, and everything else with calories. finding a solution will take all of us. but at coca-cola, we know when people come together, good things happen. to learn more, visit coke.com/comingtogether

"stubborn love" by the lumineers did you i did. email? so what did you think of the house? did you see the school ratings? oh, you're right.
4:14 am
hey babe, i got to go. bye daddy! have a good day at school, ok? ...but what about when my parents visit? ok. i just love this one... and it's next to a park. i love it. i love it too. here's our new house... daddy! you're not just looking for a house. you're looking for a place for your life to happen. the fate of george zimmerman now lies in the hands of six jurors. all of them women. five of them mothers. and as we wait for their verdict, let's take a look back at the closing arguments they heard from the prosecution and the defense. >> a teenager is dead. he is dead through no fault of his own. he is dead because another man
4:15 am
made assumptions. he profiled him as a criminal. he assumed certain things. that trayvon martin was up to no good. and that is what led to his death. >> why is he able to yell if the defendant claims the victim was unable to talk. or was he lying about that? look at the gun. look at the size of this gun. how did the victim see that in the darkness? when you see what he is saying now, he's saying that armpits, how does he get the gun out? he profiled a 17-year-old boy that had skittles. that's the crime he committed that evening. he's skipping along, la, la, la, a citizen, 17-year-old kid.
4:16 am
profiled as a criminal. >> how many could have beens have you heard from the state in this case, how many "what ifs"? that's cement. that is sidewalk. and that is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but skittles. trying to get home. and the suggestion by the state that that's not a weapon, that that can't hurt somebody, that that can't cause great bodily injury is disgusting. if i were to walk in today, let's say, and just as an example. walked in. like this. just walked in the courtroom as a lawyer. you would just have an
4:17 am
impression, what in god's name is he doing with sunglasses on? who does he think he is? you might have an impression of george zimmerman. had you might have an impression of him because he's sitting at the defense table. and maybe as we talked about he's not just a citizen but maybe he is a defendant. maybe he has something he has to defend. you look at these facts. you look at all this evidence, and you have to say i have a reasonable doubt as to whether or not the state convinced me he didn't act in self-defense. that's all you have to do. you don't have to write innocent on the bottom of that verdict perform. >> if there was ever any doubt about what happened, really happened, was it not completely removed by what the defendant said afterwards?
4:18 am
all of the lies he told, all of them. what does that tell you? there's only two people on this earth who know what really happened. and one of them can't testify. and the other one lied. not about little things like his age. or whether or not he went to the hospital. but about the things that really, truly mattered. >> some of the highlights from the closing arguments in the state's rebuttal. the juro, the six women in that room, they have been banned from any social media that could possibly mention the case and that's probably a wise move since supporters of zimmerman and martin are putting their passions on display all over the web. nick valencia is back with us. nick, people have, from the very
4:19 am
start of this, since a national story in 2012 have taken to twitter and facebook and the other sites to show their passion. >> hundreds of thousands of people have come out with their comment reacting to the trial. knack, everyone from celebrities to just people watching the trial. let's start with top comments here on facebook. this coming -- somebody who's reaching out to george zimmerman directly. saying mr. george zimmerman, how does it feel to be on trial? how does it feel to have people label you and judge you without knowing you? now average citizens are weighing in, as well as celebrities, victor. one celebrity weighing in, miley cyrus, may peace be with the martins as they continue to pray for justice as i will and anyone else that believes in love. #i am george zimmerman. the majority of the support has been in favor of trayvon martin. but george zimmerman, of course, he has his supporters.
4:20 am
those tend to be on conservative blogs on the websites. not on the traffic that we see on tweets. >> it would be naive to think this is organic. the families have orchestrated this. benjamin crump has reached out to celebrities directly. if you go on his twitter page, it's just filled with retweets of celebrities showing their support. >> poppy? >> this saturday morning, we have something sweet in business news. it is being called the sweetest comeback ever. you know what we're talking about. twinkies hitting store shelves once again. we're going to tell you where you can find them. and the sight of a ice cream truck? one city wants to turn down that sound. we'll tell you where next. when i was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, my rheumatologist prescribed enbrel for my pain and stiffness, and to help stop joint damage. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections.
4:21 am
serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. since enbrel helped relieve my joint pain, it's the little things that mean the most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. an impressive epa estimated 34 mpg highway... and during chevy's model year-end event you're getting a great deal on our remaining 2013 models, but they're going fast. what are you doing? moving in. before someone else does. ohhh...great.

all right. time for the biz block where we keep track of the top stories of the week. it was a record-breaker on wall street. you like seeing that in the market. the dow coming back after midday losses to close at the highest levels ever. stocks have pushed higher since midweek that's when fed chief ben bernanke made that push. and reassured the bond buying program that is helping to fuel the economy would not be anytime ending soon. and lunch boxes rejoice, maybe if you're a mom who likes to serve your kids twinkies, maybe not. the long-awaited return of the twinkies is finally here. the first batch of the hostess cakes apparently are on sale early at walmart. they'll run you about three bucks for a box of ten. hostess is calling the move,

quote, the sweetest comeback in history ever. twinkies will hit store shelves nationwide on monday. interesting little side note, victor. i heard they last longer. they have a longer shelf life. >> 50 years instead of 40. he were already pretty reliable. are you a twinkie fan? >> i can't remember the last time i ate one. >> i've never had one. >> they have fried twinkies at the state fair, by the way. we'll admit it's not top shelf story on business news but it's interesting. according to nikkei.com, adult diapers, the market is booming. 6% to 10%. population of japan is 65 and older. it's expected to boom in the next decade. the cost is 2 1/2 times the baby diaper so, of course, the profit

4:27 am
this. >> well, i woke up to go get me a cold pop. then i thought somebody was barbecuing. i said, oh, lord, jesus, it's a fire. i ran out i didn't grab no shoes or nothing jesus. i ran for my life. and then the smoke bouggot me. i got bronchitis, ain't nobody got time for that. >> i love sweet brown. sweet brown thought someone was having a barbecue, remember that? now they are, sweet brown has, oh lord jesus the fire barbecue sauce. oh, lord jesus it's sweet. and oh lord jesus it's just right. the website said the barbecue sauce is the only way complement your meat and it's spelled y-o.

all right. here's a quick update on the latest mortgage rates. take a look. ♪
4:31 am
bottom of the hour now. welcome back, everyone. happy saturday. i'm poppy harlow. >> i'm victor blackwell. here are five things you need to know this morning. first, the texas state senate
4:32 am
has approved one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the country. the bill bans abortions after 20 weeks and provides abortion clinics to meet standards. republican governor rick perry issued a statement he's proud lawmakers took, quote, the final step to protect life. number two, rail stations across france held a moment of silence just a little while ago to honor victims of a fatal train crash. at least six people were killed. and government officials says more victims could be found today. the head of the railway says that a mechanical failure is to blame for that crash which happened about 40 miles south of paris. >> three now, edward snowden now wants asylum from russia. it would be temporary while he works out a way to get to permanent asylum somewhere in latin america. this move could get him out of a moscow airport. the nsa leaker has been stuck there for about three weeks when the u.s. yanked his passport. number four, the united states calling on egypt's army
4:33 am
to treat country's former president. mohamed morsi has been detained since the military removed him last week. dozens of people have been killed in protests since then. it is not clear exactly where morsi is being held. number five, prosecutors are asking victims of the boston marathon bombing if they think dzhokhar tsarnaev should die. the boston herald said victims were asked to fill out a survey. prosecutors also want know more about injury, long-term effects and whether they'd be willing to testify at the suspect's trial. ♪ well, the six jurors deciding the fate of george zimmerman will get back to work in about an hour and a half's time at the courthouse in sanford, florida. the women deliberated for just over 3 1/2 hours on friday. they did not return a verdict when they adjourned at 6:00 p.m. the jury could send zimmerman to prison for killing trayvon
4:34 am
martin or let him walk free if he believe his self-defense. i want to bring the criminal defense attorney. >> good morning. >> i want to talk about the impact that has on juries. there are those who say the decision is made before the closing argument. and others look at how different they are, sort of professorial coming from the defense, impassioned coming from the prosecution. >> well they certainly have different styles and i think there's a reason for that. in this case, the state needs to use emotion. and they did in the first argument and the closing argument. they're trying to get the jury to remember that this case is about a dead teenage are. the defense needs to do a lot of things but here's what they did, they said let's focus on the plop the judge is going to tell you what the law is, what the state needs to prove and in this case, the state has not done that. if you have more questions at
4:35 am
the end of the trial than at the beginning of the trial, you can't convict him. but as far as closing arguments, i think you're right, i think so most jurors are not going to make up their mind in closing arguments. they're not persuaded to change the way they see the evidence at that point in the time. the good thing for closing arguments to give the jurors what he thinks is supporting his side to take back to the juror room. >> i want to talk about the four minutes that they asked the jurors to sit in silence. do you think is resonated or did it come off as a stunt? >> i think it resonated. he's not a dramatic personality. most of the evidence, as you said was very professorial. let me walk you through the evidence. let's talk about the law. silence can be very affecting. certainly if you're trying put them in george zimmerman's shoes to see if the state's case makes sense. trayvon martin had all this
4:36 am
time. let me show you what it feels like to sit for four minutes and realize what he could have done. >> burden of proof lies on the prosecution. i want to play some sound from mark o'mara talking about the burden of proof? >> how many "could have beens" have you heard from the state in this case? how many "what ifs" have you heard in the case? they don't get to ask you that. they don't get to ask you "what do you think?" no, no, no. what have i proved to you, what have i convinced beyond a reasonable doubt in this case so much so that you don't have any reasonable doubt as of those issues that i presented to you. >> beyond a reasonable doubt. did the prosecution meet that burden, beyond a reasonable doubt? >> i don't think so, you know, and that's what's unusual about a self-defense case. once the defense raises the idea of self-defense, then the
4:37 am
prosecution has to disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt. in addition to proving all the elements of their case. so it's a very high burden. and i just don't think they met it in this case. >> prosecutor john guy he mentioned specifically and did not want the jury to forget, in this case, at the center of it, there's a dead teenager. let's listen to that. >> was that child not in fear? when he was running from that defendant. isn't that every child's worst nightmare, to be followed on the way home in the dark by a stranger? isn't that every child's worst fear? that was trayvon martin's last emotion. >> our sunny hostin who was in the courtroom said that this certainly resonated with the
4:38 am
jury. there's been a lot of talk about there being an all-female jury. five of them mothers, and that hit home. >> i think so. most of the trial has all been about what was george zimmerman thinking? more effectively, mr. guy said, wait a minute, put yourself in trayvon martin's shoes what was he thinking? did he consider to die? he said you're not supposed to use emotion, you're not supposed to use sympathy or prejudice are they going to listen? >> thank you. coming up on "new day," his biggest hit was "baby" but lately that seems to describe justin bieber's attitude. we'll tell you what he did that got an earful from a former president. and some are saying why the pop hypocrisy does is not match a deal she made with the first

4:45 am
what's your take on that? >> that's the prime example how we as everyday people like to see the person become the superhero. we see that with jay-z. but we also like to see the person that is fabulous seen regular. so when president obama and the first lady are friends with jay-z and beyonce. that's a amazing to see that mix. >> he's not texting obama saying hey, i'm in d.c., i've got my grandma, can i come and see you? >> we don't know. >> i think he's respectful of that relationship. >> it's interesting that the president uses sports analogies. like we're in the fourth quarter here. let's get it in the bag. >> and we know that sinatra was very close to the reagans. i think every president has some kind of -- >> well, like rocking it >> yeah. >> a little love. it's all good. let's talk about beyonce.

4:58 am
>> what, shark nado. >> there has not been a movie this fun since "snakes on a plane." >> reporter: maybe it's what happens when "90210" meets "twister" and "jaws." let's be honest. the ratings didn't hit it out of the park, but the over the top original sigh tpaoeu movie is tearing through the universe with a bite. >> you never see the spectacle. >> at its peak, more than 5,000 hash tag tweets per minute. >> something happened. we hit the right time and the right place. this doesn't happen to people like me. >> they took my grandfather. i really hate sharks. >> the big news story to come

5:00 am
or "sharkfurno" are just a few that have been throw out there. >> it will always be "sharknado." >> we have more on "new day saturday," and that starts right now. do not give anybody the benefit of any doubt except t the -- >> trayvon martin is entitled to the truth. >> what will be george zimmerman's fate. >> if i had a son, he would like to trayvon. >> when president martin first spoke about trayvon martin, it was before zimmerman's arrest. we will see if washington weighs in on the verdict. >> if you let your toddler play
5:01 am
with your smart phones, you might want to take a look at what she is doing? how a little kid's big purchase shocked their family, and their wallet. good morning, everybody. happy saturday. it's 8:00 out here on the east coast. i am poppy harlow. >> i am victor blackwell. welcome to this "new day." what could be a decisive day in the george zimmerman murder trial. >> one hour from now is when six women will return to the job they have had for six weeks to decide what is his fate. our george howl is outside the courthouse and you have been on top of this from the beginning. closing arguments in the past two days, and now it's in the jurors' hands and what can you tell us? >> reporter: we are expecting a verdict anytime now starting at
5:02 am
9:00 a.m. the jury will return and continue deliberations, and we have crews to bring you that verdict as only cnn can do. we will talk about what we saw just the other day. the defense attorney making the case that his client is not guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter, and he gave what was a legal lesson to the jurors, explaining what it takes to find a person guilty, and then not guilty, and he also made this case. he showed that this particular situation seems to be reversed because prosecutors have to proof guilt without doubt, and defense attorneys have to show a reasonable doubt, and he says he can prove his client is not guilty, is innocent of this charge. and want to talk about what we saw the prosecutors doing. it was interesting to see them make an emotional appeal to jurors, and he asked what was in
5:03 am
the heart of each person, and what was in trayvon martin's heart and what was in george zimmerman's heart? one person can't testify, and the other lied about it. want you to hear what the two attorneys had to say in court so you can see for yourself. >> you look at these facts, and you look at all this evidence, and you have to say i have a reasonable doubt as to whether or not the state convinced me he didn't act in self defense. that's all you have to do. >> trayvon martin may not have the defendant's blood on his hands, but george zimmerman will forever have trayvon martin's on his, forever. >> it was a real emotional appeal to those jurors. at one point guy said that zimmerman didn't shoot him
5:04 am
because he had to, he shot him because he wanted to, trying to make that case of ill will, spite and hatred, and trying to prove second-degree murder and remember that manslaughter is an option for these jurors to consider along with not guilty. >> what is interesting, the prosecution got the last word if you will before the case went to the jury's hands, and then they were given 27 pages of instructions read by the judge to the jury, and one of the key parts is you can't consider emotion. >> reporter: yes, and that's a big part of the prosecution's case. what we saw these prosecutors do as well, they went through the timeline. both sides went through the timeline to make their case. there are a lot of facts for the jurors to consider. before the day ended, it was interesting the jurors wanted to see all the facts and see the evidence. they asked the judge for the inventory of all the evidence in
5:05 am
the case, and this morning they wanted to start fresh and look at all the evidence and start to arrive at a decision here. >> george howl, thank you very much. what i think is interesting, too, the jurors are not told what the possible prison sentences could be for second-degree murder or a manslaughter conviction because they are supposed to focus on not just what the sentence could be. >> it's hard to avoid emotion when you consider all of the tools used by the attorneys to evoke emotion, and again, who said it many times, five of the jurors are mothers. some of the tools that john guy used, it was to evoke emotions. >> we want to look at the possible outcomes here. what could happen? so the jury could find george zimmerman guilty of second-degree murd as the state has charged or they can return with the lesser conviction of manslaughter, or deliver a verdict of not guilty,
5:06 am
or they could become deadlocked in a hung jury, and the state would have to decide whether to try him again or not. if convicted of second degree murder, zimmerman would face anywhere from 25 years to life in prison, and in florida there is no parole that would reduce his sentence. a conviction of manslaughter caries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, and he could serve fewer than ten if convicted of manslaughter. >> it was not long after george zimmerman killed and shot martin that this case captured the attention of the nation up to president obama's. the verdict is now just hours away, so we're asking, how will the country and washington respond? >> good morning to you, erin. what is that the feeling there in washington? >> reporter: good morning, poppy and victor.
5:07 am
right now everybody is waiting to see what the verdict will be, like everybody else. the white house has not said much just yet because they don't want to tamper with the process. trayvon martin's death ignited a national firestorm. tugging at the sensitive nature of race relations. >> racial profiling has to stop, mr. speaker. just because somebody wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum. >> and prompting the first african-american president to take the unusual step of speaking out and sympathizing with martin's parents. >> if i had a son he would look like trayvon, and, you know, i think that they are right to expect that all of us as americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves
5:08 am
and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. >> that did not sit well with some. >> is the president suggesting if it would have been a white hood been shot it wouldn't look like him? it's nonsense. dividing the country up. it's a tragedy this young man was shot. >> 15 months later, george zimmerman's fate may doolittle to satisfy the uncomfortable questions about race this case has raised. will president obama weigh in again? >> his comments on that are, you know, what they were, but we're not going to say anything from here in the midst of a trial of that nature. >> should he? we asked "new york times" columnist. >> weighing in necessary on whatever political outcome on a particular case when there are literally thousands of cases that are killed in the country every year may or may not be the smartest thing to do. >> but blow says the racial questions need to be addressed.
5:09 am
>> there are moral questions here that may not be able to be answered in a legal framework. i think the moral questions are questions we have to ask ourselves as a society outside the boundaries of this particular courtroom and case. >> reporter: the other thing i can tell you is there is some preparation going on here. the justice department sent one community relations service official to sanford just to be prepared for anything that might happen there, and the other thing obviously is that people will be talking about this case for a very long time, and one local callage, george mason university plans to offer a course on the case. >> appreciate it. good reporting. thank you. as soon as the jury got the case, martin's family issued a statement. though we maintain george committed no crime whatsoever,
5:10 am
we acknowledge that the people who called for george's trial witnessed both events come to pass. we hope now as americans we will all respect the rule of law which begins with respect the verdict. the authorities also appealed for palm, and they have taken steps to insure the peace including going door to door in florida. >> we will not tolerate anybody who uses this verdict as an excuse to violate the law. >> jesse jackson is also calling on people to react peacefully. he said in a statement if zimmerman is convicted, there should not be inappropriate sell pwraeugs because a young man lost his life, and in just about an hour we will talk with the miami pastor that is calling for
5:11 am
peace whichever way the verdict comes down. we want to take you to big news out of texas overnight. the senate approved a bill that bans abortion after 20 weeks, and it requires the clinics meet the same standards as surgical centers and what that could mean is that many clinics in texas may close. and rick perry made a statement that he is proud of the historic measure. >> and a third person died. a hospital official says a girl has died from her injuries. no other details about her were released. police now say one of the other two teenagers that died right after the crash was hit by a fire truck responding to the scene. the 16-year-old was on the ground covered in fire fighting foam when she was hit. what is not clear yet is whether she was already dead when the
5:12 am
truck hit her. and some of jerry sandusky's victims can soon get money from penn state. the board is not saying how much money would be on the table. sandusky was sentenced last year to more than 30 years in prison for sexually abusing ten boys over a 15 year period. edward snowden turned down russia's first offer of asylum. >> now, the nsa leaker is having second thoughts. ke that malibu. yeah excuse me, the equinox in atlantis blue is mine! i was here first, it's mine. i called about that one, it's mine. mine! mine. it's mine. it's mine. mine. mine. mine. mine. it's mine! no it's not, it's mine! better get going, it's chevy model year-end event.

15 minutes after the hour now and the white house is again warning russia not to give asylum to admitted nsa leaker, edward snowden. >> he has been stuck in a moscow airport for about three weeks and apparently now he wants to stay in russia a little longer, and phil black is following this for us today.
5:16 am
you have been following the story throughout, and why now is snowden saying he wants temporarily asylum in russia? >> reporter: he has no travel documents and very few options. no choice to move on to another country. that's why he performed the sudden move, calling human rights workers to the airport where he has been staying and talking to them and asking them for help. he made a statement prior to the meeting, and it's the first time since we heard from him since he arrived in this country. take a look. >> a little over one month ago, i had a family and a home in paradise, and i lived in great comfort and i had the capability to search for seize and read your communications, and anybody's communication at anytime.
5:17 am
>> reporter: so it was during this meeting that he announced the change of plans, and he wants the russian government to grant him temporarily asylum here, and venezuela offered to protect him, it's likely the united states and its allies will do everything they can to intercept him and return him to u.s. custody. it's not the first time he applied for asylum in russia here. it's not his preferred option. the last time he tried, the government's response was it's possible in theory, but he will have to stop leaking information about the united states, and now he is saying that he can live up the condition, and he revealed all he wants to reveal. >> what if anything is the white house revealing about the meeting with putin, because we know it was at least in part
5:18 am
about snowden? >> reporter: the fact that snowden was allowed to hold the meeting in the airport clearly with the assistance of airport officials, this is something that would not have taken place without higher approval, getting the human rights workers there and getting the invitations to them and getting them in the secure zone and so forth, and it applies assistance with the russian officials, and the white house is not happy about that. and on the one man, it's voiced clear sympathy, and describing him as a human rights activist, whereas the u.s. authorities clearly believe that he is a criminal. at the same time russia has not shown any willingness to exstrae extradite him. it has been a difficult balancing act. by reapplying for asylum, snowden again puts the pressure on the russian government to

5:20 am
and out of that silence came thousands of voices. the terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this. weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. strength, fervor and courage was born. >> she says the pink scarf she was wearing here belonged to the late bhutto. you make a great team.

5:25 am
opponents say it could close many clinics. this is the way one republican describes it. >> i am trying to put myself in the shoes of go into a abortion clinic. i would never attend a place like that. i am trying to put myself in a state of mind of what they would say. they will not see the blood on the table or the surgical instruments that have not been sterilized. i hope in the mind they are asking the lord is this the right thing to be doing? >> would you prefer her to do to go to a back alley with a nasty coat hangar. >> first, i wish she could plan ahead. there are a lot of procedures you can take care of birth control. >> the governor said he would veto the senate bill but he has been noncommittal on the house
5:26 am
bill. there is enough of a conservative majority to overturn any veto and the new law, if it becomes law, would levy stiffer penalties for reckless motorcycle drivers. this is what the law is entitled, motorcycle safety, but the debate is all about that abortion. >> yeah, slipped in. >> six people try to agree on one verdict. you know the six we are talking about. the jury weighing george zimmerman's fate. we will talk about the deliberations in the high profile murder case. also, first, from the fatal plane crash that really caught national worldwide attention to the conclusion of arguments in the george zimmerman trial, here is a take, here is a look at the weekend pictures. my asthma's under control.

adolescent, there was an assumption he was a criminal and he is dead as a result. and i think that's a strong theme that the jury takes into the jury room. >> tonya, the strongest moment for the defense? >> the strongest moment is when they demonstrated what reason many doubt is. the state never really told the jury what happened. so the defense wants to capitalize on that. they want to tell the jury, listen, you don't know what happened, and if they can't tell you what happened, that's reasonable doubt. and if you have reasonable doubt, you have to let my client go. >> it's interesting, i want to talk about it because it's really all about the jury now and it's in the hands of the jury. paul, you and i were talking about this yesterday, and you fought a lot of cases in a lot of different jurors and you talked to me about the difference in style from the attorneys on the prosecution style and the definance style and how a jury made up of all
5:34 am
women, and five of them are mothers, and we know five are white and one is black or hispanic, and we don't know much more about the makeup of the jury, but you said it matters, the style for this makeup of this jury. why? >> it's interesting. i think in the answer to the last question, you know, when tonya was able to get into a lot of very specific things that the defense raised, whereas where i was discussing what you took away from the prosecution's summation, we were talking about passion and bigger issues about profiling somebody and treating somebody unfairly, and that will go back to the jury. i have to be careful, because in this day and age, we like to think the genders are equal in all respect and we view problems the same way, but i have to tell you a lot of lawyers look at female jurors and male jurors and say they perceive the world from different perspectives, and
5:35 am
5 out of the 6 women have children, and they may be more susceptible and more responsive to the emotional plea of the prosecutions here that this was a child in fear of being followed in the night, and who is shot down dead in his own condo development, and that may resonate the way it would not with male jurors. >> all this talk about being an all-female jury, and i thought come on, you know, a jury of our peers here. what is your take? does fighting in front of many different jurors, does it matter? >> it could matter but wouldn't necessarily matter. i am a firm believer that really the facts in evidence decide your case. women jurors, just like male jurors, are able to listen to the facts and apply the law and reach the right conclusion. now i think paul has a point, and i would agree with this
5:36 am
point, that certificate kinds of arguments might be more appealing to certificate kinds of people. when you start to talk about a child who is in fear, and you start talking about fairness, i do think that women are going to be more inclined to listen to that and to give that credence, not to say that women wouldn't, but it's an argument women would listen to. >> and then i want to play a portion, and because this is now in the hands of the jury, i have another question about the jury. let's listen to the sound first. >> you know, i think the women are going to be very sense advertised to the fact that a son has been lost. trayvon martin has been lost. that's going to be a sensitivity that they have. on the other hand they will be aware of what it's like to be in a situation where you may be
5:37 am
victimized and react to that. i think they are a good panel. >> i think i want to talk more about the number of the jury, and typically we are used to a jury of 12 of our peers, but this is six. are their strategic differences in the jury room and are there different ways they will try to convince one or two of the people who are holding out on one side or the other? >> very interesting question. lawyers, there has been a lot of studies of this. what happened, by the way, the background is how do we get to 12 jurors in most places? believe it or not, a welch king back in the 14 or 1500s decided that because of christ and the 12 apostles were going to judge the world at the end that jury trials would have 12 people and that is essentially how we wound up with 12.
5:38 am
in 1970, the supreme court said you know something, it's legal, constitutional to go down to as low as six jurors in the case, with the exception of capital cases. and they are less likely to hang, and finally and unfortunately, they are less diverse. i think you see that in all three -- in this particular case. >> also, i do want to wrap it up by playing sound from jon guy on the prosecution that had that impassioned rebuttal yesterday, talking about the jury's duty to trayvon martin, so listen to this and i want your response on the other side. >> let me give you one more saying, maybe the most important one you will hear, and that is to the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe the truth. >> what is your take on that?
5:39 am
>> i think that was just masterful. because as a prosecutor, what you are telling this jury, what you want them to do is take a call to action. you want them to right a wrong. you want them to know that they are the last hope, the last resort for this victim who is here no more and can no longer speak for himself. if you get that jury to identify with the victim and get them to take on the role to writing that wrong, they are more likely to want to hold somebody responsible for his death. >> you heard them say many times during the trial trayvon martin is not here to give his story. it has been fascinating to watch, and we are 20 minutes away from the jury being back in that deliberation room. thanks to you and our thanks to paul callin. it's the story of a toddler and a smart phone. we will tell you how the proud father of the little girl wound up the surprise owner of a
5:40 am
pretty big ebay item. that's next. according to the usda, we currently have over 60 million children struggling with hunger. 1 in 5 of our kids. >> any of you kids see "surf's up." we think one of the most important things we can do to end childhood hunger is to have breakfast in schools, and another thing that is very important is that there are summer meal programs that are available to kid. no kid hungry is all about making people aware of the programs in the state. it affects me on a personal level thinking about what it would feel like if i was not able to provide for my kids, but

he has been all over national television showing off his scooter skills. i wonder what is next for him. >> i had no idea there was a record to beat. >> me neither. there are lots of wonderful things technology does for us, but every once in a while, things short circuit fast, and it happens in a big way. we want to take a look at a segment we call "technology is ruining my life." how closely do you look at your cell phone bill? do you dig into it? you might want to look closer. taxes and surcharges end up costing cell phone customers 17.2% every month. why? what are the extra charges? apparently local, state, federal taxes, and you are911 systems, the money going to school districts. >> i don't get a paper bill
5:46 am
anymore. i go to the app and pay it and i am done. >> i like getting the paper bill to look it all over. >> do you still write checks? >> i might. i am old school. >> you have seen your kids grabbing cell phones and iphones and etc. set to play with them. fine. this story will make you think twice before you hand over the phone. 14-month-old daughter playing with dad's phone, and in the process she made her dad the top bidder for a 1962 austin healy. dad got an e-mail from ebay congratulating him for the car. but they decided to buy the car anyway and give it to their daughter for the 16th birthday. >> and apparently he changed the p.i.n. number on his phone, and he made it so where you need racial recognition to be able to buy something on his ebay account. >> you know who the loser is
5:47 am
here? the 16-year-old. look at this car. if they planned on buying her a car -- >> will, it would be cute once it gets all fixed up. >> i don't know what will happen. who knows? >> you have work and family keeping you from all the latest viral videos. >> that's why we have our one and only john vermin keeping track of the net so you don't have to. >> good morning, guys. the internet this week was all about the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. these two guys are clear winners. winners assuming they are competing in a contest for the worst bike jump off a dog ever. ugly. now, this has got to qualify as a victory at something. a man hulahoops with a 98-pound tire. they said it couldn't be done.

now, defeat. no such thing apparently as a quick hug with a baby elephant. next time plan for the full frontal cuddle. >> and a sweet story gone viral. >> a hard core cleveland browns fan with one final request. he respectfully question six cleveland browns paul barriers, so the browns can let him down one last time. the browns did not oblige but sent a shirt to the family. finally, nothing says i love you like trying to scare you to death. this man tried to prank his girlfriend by rigging a ghost to fly out of a television when she woke up. it goes pretty well. >> that was either victory or defeat, i suppose, depends on which part of the ghost you are

on. not sure if that boyfriend is now a former boyfriend. victor and poppy? >> thank you for that. >> probably former. >> probably. less than 15 minutes from now, jurors are due to resume deliberations in the george zimmerman trial. you have a live shot on the left, and the great seal of florida on the right. the cameras are on and in the courtroom. we will bring you every moment of what is pertinent. we will be there live with reports from florida as they reach a verdict. keep it here. thanks to dad. nope eeeeh... oh, guys let's leave the deals to hotels.com. ooh that one! nice. got it! oh my gosh this is so cool... awesome! perfect! yep, and no angry bears. the perfect place is on sale now. up to 40% off. only at hotels.com

if you ever have seen a mudslide on television and wondered what it's like, watch this amazing video. this is video from a colorado journalists who was caught on the highway during the mudslide. the storms close add four-mile stretch for several hours on thursday. the photographer is fine. the car? not so much. a typhoon hitting taiwan lost steam, but it's hitting the island hard with more rain. the storm should hit mainland china today. a huge dust storm covering parts of the phoenix area. let's go to alexandra steele for a look at how a haboob happens. what is that. >> it's an arabic word and it
5:53 am
means wind, and it's all about the wind and it's a wall of dust coming at you. here is how they form. you need dusty terrain, which we have in phoenix. and then you need thunderstorms. within a thunderstorm there are up lifts and downdrafts, and within the downdraft what happens is the downdraft goes down and the force of it pushes all the dust and it creates a kpwus, and then that gust front kicks up all the dust and creates what you are seeing there, which is a wall of dust. and, you know, the biggest problem is it lowers visibility. that's what it did in phoenix yesterday. it lowers visibility to quarter of a mile. when we get these haboobs, the biggest problem is the low visibility and then the traffic and the troubles on the highways. in phoenix they are not all that uncommon. we see about three a year between june and september. we have seen them and they are used to them, and it's scary if
5:54 am
you are out there the wall of dust come toward you. closer to home on the southeast coast. shower and storms and talk about a wall of water. we have seen it tapping into all the tropical moisture, and we have seen it two weeks in the southeast. today will be no different, a lot of flash flood watches and warnings from washington south, and the northwest, sunny skies and pleasant conditions, and here in the southwest, it's monsoon season, so we have hot conditions and we also have the potential for showers and storms. in the northeast, 80s today and 90s tomorrow, and then in new york city, guys, by wednesday, in washington, 97. so an incredibly hot we can taking shape today. the coolest in the next six to seven days. >> love getting on the subway when it's 97 degrees. yeah. in more than five minutes now, the jury in the george

you have heard the old expression, when pigs fly. apparently there is a place in the caribbean where pigs swim. i don't know if there's a resort here, but it happened in the bahamas on what else but pig island. the big goes to sightseeing boats, and of course they want food, because they are biggs. >> that's one thing i would not be scared to see in the water is that. i would be more curious about the big. you have heard about this guy, some call him super agent. we know he fights a shark for his clients, and he proves he is not afraid to take on a real shark. apparently he snagged the six-foot shark during a deep sea fishing trip. he tries to wrestle with it and then let the shark go.
5:59 am
guess he won that one. a minute away from the top of the hour. we know attorneys in florida are in the courtroom at the seminal courthouse to begin the second day, the procedures to go into the second day of deliberations for the jury in the george zimmerman trial. >> we have much more on "new day" that starts right now. i am poppy harlow. you are looking at live pictures there in florida. george zimmerman taking the seat on day two of jury deliberations. it could be the day that he learns his fate. will he be convicted of manslaughter or be acquitted? good morning. 9:00 on the east coast. 6:00 out west. this is "new day saturday." we are beginning as we said in sanford, florida. what could be a decisive day in the george zimmerman murder
6:00 am
trial. >> at any moment the jury of six women will be back to work. and the judge is seating both attorneys on both sides. >> is there anything we need to take up before we bring the jury in? >> no, your honor. >> let's go ahead and bring them in. >> as we wait for the jury to come in, we want to bring in our colleague, george howl that has been there covering the trial. today could be the day that we get a verdict. let's listen in.
6:01 am
please be seated. good morning, ladies. welcome back. i am going to ask you my questions, and if your answer is yes to any of them, please raise your hand. during the overnight recess did any of you have any discussions amongst yourself or anybody else about the case. no hands are listened. did you listen to e-mails text messages or tweets or social networking blogs or cases about the case? did any of you create any of those items? did any of you read or listen to any radio, television or newspaper reports about the case? we're going to send you back to deliberate. all of the evidence, if it isn't already back there will be back there with you in just a moment. let us -- if you have any questions or any requests,
6:02 am
please put them in writing and hand them to the deputy. thank you very much and you are excused. >> the jury now is going back in the deliberating room to decide the fate of that man, george zimmerman. i want to bring in george howl if that if there were any questions or requests that they would be passed on to the judge, and there was one question, one request yesterday, and tell us about that? >> reporter: victor, absolutely. the jury requested an inventory of all of the evidence. they wanted to basically get a list of everything that they have seen, everything that they have heard about in this trial, and you saw these attorneys the other day come together, and they started to build the list for the jury. you can imagine that is what they will be looking at first thing as they get into the process of making a decision here. >> they go back with a sheet of paper with just three lines and a place to put a check mark, one of them being second-degree
6:03 am
murder, and the other manslaughter, and the third, not guilty. we know we talked about the makeup of this jury, six people, and inside the room there will be a foreman chosen and the strategy begins of coming to where that check mark will go? >> absolutely. we have been talking about the charges, but let's talk about what the charges mean. if you talk about second-degree murder in the state of florida, you are talking about 25 years to life. and there is a gun enhancement. if a weapon is used, 25 years mandatory. 25 years to life. obviously that division is at the discretion of the judge. if it's manslaughter, it's a minimum of ten years and up to 30 years, and maximum of 30 years. obviously, if he is released and found not guilty, he could be released the moment that verdict is read. also, in the state of florida, there is no parole, so if it's a life sentence, victor, it's a
6:04 am
life sentence. there is no parole. if he is convicted of one of the crimes he would be taken into custody immediately, although the judge does have discretion to turn himself in later. we will have to see how the judge plays that out. we know the jury deliberated for just over 3 1/2 hours yesterday, and at ten to 6:00 they sent a note saying they would wrap up for the night, and they began deliberating a few moments ago. we want to delve into this with the top legal minds and talk about the jury, the zimmerman jury and, victor, let's bring them in. we have three legal analysts for you. >> we have a criminal defense attorney, and he joins us live here in atlanta, and chris chestnut, he represented a band member that died in a hazing accident, and i am sure he would call into question the word accident, and then a cnn legal
6:05 am
analyst, paul cowin. did the state meet the case of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt? >> fascinating, and it's an enormous issue, and whether or not the state met their burden on the murder case i think is something that can be hotly debated, the most dangerous charge here in my view has to be that manslaughter charge. it represents the potential for a compromise outcome for these jurors. i think it's a far more likely conviction than the murder charge. and, of course, we do have the not guilty option, as you mentioned, and there is yet one more option, and it doesn't get a box to check, but there could be an option of no agreement. and, of course, given the issues that surfaced in the case, and how closely held and polarizing some of the racial issues are that divide not just this case but this entire country, it would not surprise me at all if these six women were unable to
6:06 am
reach unanimity, if they were unable to reach a consensus and it turns out we have no verdict at all. >> and it's interesting. this is a jury of six, not a jury of 12. and you see fewer hung jurors with six. before i get to paul cowin in new york. we are getting something from a produc producer, talking about how the jurors walked in. apparently, they walked into the courtroom a few minutes ago. she says they were staring straight ahead and they did not look at george zimmerman or the defense team or the prosecution's team, and she noted martin's parents were not in the courtroom, and they were not looking at the prosecutor or the defense. and the issue here with the second-degree murder charge, ill will, spite, hatred, and that
6:07 am
has to be proved. your take on whether the prosecution was able to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt? >> they shifted their theory in an interesting way. that count was added at the beginning of the case because there was a claim that there was racial profiling going on. trayvon martin because he was african-american wearing a hoodie was presumed because in part because of the color of his skin to be a criminal. the judge said you cannot refer to this as a race profiling case, and the prosecution shifted into a different kind of unusual theory, i think. they said he was profiled as a criminal improperly, and that that was a demonstration of hatred, ill will and spite, that, you know, george zimmerman had for criminals and he hunted down this criminal and killed him, sort of a vigilante killing.
6:08 am
some people say a lot of people don't like they think are criminals, and does that make me a criminal. the debate in the jury room will be interesting, whether they had proven that profiling and ill will and spite claim. >> let's play sound for the lead defense attorney for george zimmerman. >> you will fill in the gaps when you are not supposed to, you will make assumptions, you will do that, because you know what? it's natural. it's very natural. but not in a criminal courtroom. it is not only unnatural, it's inappropriate. there are only two people on this earth who know what really happened, and one of them can't testify, and the other one lied.
6:09 am
>> closing argument was reminiscent of the casey anthony case where he pulled out the charts, and the range of reasonable doubt, and in this case, he said that you should not come to those conclusions rbs the state should have to prove those, and then we heard from john guy, although it was very emotional, a lot of proverbs and sayings and things you should remember going in, did owe he poisen the water? >> i think there was missed opportunities to really issue a cause of action to the jury, not guilty, not guilty, not guilty. i found the closing argument to be littered with sarcasm? really? do you believe this? really? i think that was a missed opportunity. i think the rebuttal was very engaging and emotionally
6:10 am
riveting, and it was done very well, and the jury seemed to react personal acts in the courtroom and the jury will spend their time analyzing the evidence and looking at it. >> that four-minute pause that the defense used in the closing argument, trying to say what happened in the four minutes, between when the phone call with martin last ended and the gunshot was heard, what happened in those four minutes? do you think it was effective or a stunt? do you think it was confusing? >> it may have been a little bit of all of the above. for me, i found it to be effective. the use of silence can be a very, very effective tool in the courtroom. and certainly it opens up this
6:11 am
question about, well, what was trayvon doing and why was he not using that time as an opportunity to make the short walk home, he must have been sticking around to initiate the confrontation is where the defense is going with all of this. and this is one of the prosecution missteps as we look at how they structured their case, there are a lot of wonderings, and could ofs, and what ifs, and the prosecution has the only burden in the courtroom to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. when there are questions about how things could have unfolded, all of that spells reasonable doubt. i think it was effective in bringing that home, but it was interesting in the closing arguments, just like athletics where great match-ups could make great competitions. this was a study in contrasting styles with the initial prosecution opening, and of course mark om -- the women find
6:12 am
him hunky. >> this is a very serious trial, and yes, people are talking about that on social media. stick around, please. stand by and stay with us. we are keeping an eye on that live camera in the courtroom. coming up, reactions to the killing of trayvon martin and throughout this time as the trial has gone on, expand the emotional spectrum. after the break, i will talk with a pastor in miami trying to keep the peace no matter the verdict. also, you are looking at live aerials of the courthouse in sanford, florida, where the jury in the george zimmerman trial resumed with a second day of deliberations.

especially in the closing arguments, do they matter with this makeup of the jury? >> you know, in this day and age, this is always a dangerous question to discuss, because we have tried to i think in american society minimize gender differences with education and laws, the equalizing of the sexes, and we like to think we view the world the same way. but i have to tell you lawyers in their secret enclaves, they view men and women different in jury selection. one of the things i have heard a lot of lawyers say and maybe i have seen myself a little bit in court, female jurors seem to react to aggressive cross-examination style in a different way than men do. men sort of -- it's like a boxing match between the lawyers, and they might admire to a certain extent a lawyer taking down a witness in a very, very aggressive way. my experience has been that female jurors kind of resent
6:24 am
that, and they think that, you know, you could have gotten to that same place without the nastiness and cruelty. so the style of the lawyer, i think, can have an affect on the jury. in this case when i found to be interesting, o'mara has a gentle style and approach, and that might work very well with this jury. his partner, don west on the other hand, works differently. it's interesting to how the female jurors react to the different styles. >> and just to amplify the point, the difference shows up in deliberations and having an all-female juror is a really risky move in the sense that women may either, when you get the six women in a room, it may be that they are better at building consensus, and
6:25 am
obviously they need unanimity. i have seen how some women are, where there can be some judgment, the look at the purse and the look at the shoes and judgment of one another -- >> whoa. >> and if that shows up that could be great for the defense. >> first of all, i want chris to jump in, and honestly you are saying women looking at women's purses and shoes in the deliberatio deliberations, and we have been told they have been taking this very seriously and taking notes. >> you said an all-female juror is possibly a risk for the defense. why? >> you have mothers on the jury. these are people who have been emotionally engaged and very focused on the evidence, and i think this is a risk. i think that the defense thought perhaps because trayvon was black that this jury of all white women would fear him. he could reverse the roles. that may have backfired.
6:26 am
some of the reports in the courtroom yesterday were that the jurors were crying during the prosecution's rebuttal. i think this jury is going to analyze the evidence and they are emotionally engaged and they are mother's on the jury, and i am not sure it played to the defense' favor. >> we know one is categorized of black or hispanic, and five of the six are mothers, and they are all paying close attention. mark o'mara said he was happy with the jury. we have to wrap it up, and we will be back at the top of the hour for zimmerman watch. christine romans sits down for a fascinating and revealing interview with eliot spitzer who is jumping into politics again. if there is a verdict in the zimmerman trial we will bring it to you live immediately here on
