will he eat a cronut? that is it for tonight. anderson cooper starts right now. eliot spitzer just spoke to reporters and late word on a train wreck. later, a congressman taking heat for controversial remarks claiming most children of undocumented workers are drug dealers. we'll see how he justifies his word. keeping them honest, the height of luxury, don't eat anything. the food star onlg conditions in this top of the line cruise ship is sickening. we begin with breaking news out of northwestern spain.
1:01 am
a high speed train snapped in two, some of the cars on fire. the train coming from madrid derailed. 218 passengers on board. we don't know how many crew members. a search now under way for survivors in the wreckage. the death toll, so far, at least 56. that number could climb. dozens of people hurt. people asking for blood donations. it's unclear how fast the train was going, but capable of speeds up to 155 miles per hour. as to what caused the crash, too early to tell. it doesn't appear at this time that terrorism played a part. also breaking news back at home as well. a disgraced former congressman, anthony weiner. he admitted to sexting for more than a year after he resigned from congress over just that,
1:02 am
inappropriate sexting. the city is not quitting. he said it again tonight. >> i said i thought more things would come out that i have done this behavior. i'm very regrettable for. it is now behind me and i -- i understand you are doing your job by asking the questions. now my job is to talk to voters. >> anthony weiner leaving an event in lower manhattan. completely surreal moment. you recall he did his sexting under the screen name carlos danger. today, he was confronted by, you got it, carlos danger. only in new york does that happen. other than that, this is serious stuff with "the new york times."
1:03 am
calling on him to quit the race. people beyond new york asking a lot of questions, dana bash included. tonight, she's joining us. how did it go? it didn't happen until this evening. his aid said he's going to come out and talk to you all. he came out. he was organized. he wasn't hiding. he stood there and answered the questions. one of the key questions was not just personal problems, but how he dealt with that and what he wants to be, mayor of new york. listen to this. >> what do you say to people who say yes, this is personal, but it's beyond personal. it's judgment. do you have the judgment? >> i think it's a fair question. people have to answer that for themselves. >> what's your answer?
1:04 am
he didn't give an answer. he was walking away. i asked the question again. what does he tell voters here in new york is the reason they should consider the fact he does have good judgment. again, no answer. the fact he came out and took questions clearly makes it, he said it many, many times, he wants to make it clear by actions, not just words, he's not going anywhere. >> what is it like out there. how are new yorkers responding to him? >> this was the first campaign event we have seen since the scandal reemerged. he came to where i am in lower manhattan to testify before the housing authority. we saw the anthony weiner we knew before the scandal broke two years ago. he made a name for himself with rousing speeches.
1:05 am
listen to this. >> if you are landlord to the private sector and you have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of requests for work and the floor was supposed to be replaced eight years ago and the wall four years ago, you would be in jail. the fact of the matter is -- the fact of the matter is that we need to change the way we do things. >> so, he was certainly getting the crowd very excited. at the same time, not everybody was thrilled he was here. we saw when he first took the microphone to testify, there were maybe a handful of women who stood up in the audience. they turned their backs to him in silent protest to make clear they were not happy he was here. the bottom line is this is a competitive race for the mayor of new york. the primary is the key election day in september. it's going to be pretty intense
1:06 am
and anthony weiner was okay in the polls given what he had been through. he's not near the top of the heat. nobody here, i have not found one person in democratic politics who thinks if he doesn't get out of the race he will make it to the next step which is a run off for the mayor. >> what about his wife? there was so much about her standing by his side. what about today? what happened? >> she wasn't here. she was in the bronx at another event. we did see her outside his campaign headquarters, leaving. she was there. that is telling. she went out. she made a splash. she had unprecedented presence at his press conference talking about these indiscorrections that happened a year after he resigned from congress. that means she is all in on this, not just a personal level, but political and personal
1:07 am
level. talking to people close to her and the couple, she has been a strategic presence, very much involved in the workings of the campaign. talk to people who know her and care for her and worry about her, they are not happy about this at all, as you can imagine. they are very loyal and upset at him. >> i'm sure they are. thanks very much. the woman anthony weiner was corresponding with lives in indiana. we sent randi kay there to learn more about her. >> reporter: the woman is sydney leathers who also identified herself online as sydney elaine xo. we don't know much about her but we know she's very comfortable in her own skin. these are some of the pictures she posted of herself on twitter that have been removed, showing off her new tattoo or new ink and modelling her new bathing
1:08 am
suit. with this lounge photo, she tweeted, i would marry my legs, if i could. she posted this picture tweeting, all that i am, big lips, good looks, make up, long hair, boobs and tattoos. how did she meet anthony weiner? through a friend. >> she contacted him through twitter. she was a fan. she said she was a fan. i assume that based on how beautiful a young lady she is, anthony weiner had no choice but to act on his instincts. she loved him but fell out of love with him. the vision she had of him was not true and not the case. >> reporter: the conversations quickly turned from politics to sex. this was the result. dozens and dozens of explicitly
1:09 am
messages. >> it's been reported in some outlets it may have been going on for six months. i would say eight or nine, maybe possibly a year. >> reporter: we came here to princeton, indiana hoping to talk to sydney leathers about her communications with anthony weiner thch weiner. this is where a friend of hers said she lived with her father. nobody answered the door. the same friend said she never mentioned anthony weiner by name but met a lot of people with strong political contacts online. politics was her passion. the friend say they worked together for a few months at a tanning salon until leathers quit last summer to work for the obama campaign. online, she identified herself as a field organizer for the obama campaign. on the website, change.org, we
1:10 am
found her profile, the petition she signed say a lot about her passions and her politics. it seems long before sydney leathers first communicated with anthony weiner she had her eye on him. one of her websites that has been removed listed him as one of her hero, along with president obama, jon stewart and charlie sheen. in june, 2011, she posted this. anthony weiner can continue sending expletive pics every day as long as he legislates like he does. she is now 23. she never slept with anthony weiner or took money from him. he did offer to get her an apartment. at one point, she told dirty.com that he asked her to do me a solid and hard delete all our chats. >> randi, i know you are in indiana.
1:11 am
any idea where she might be? >> reporter: the guy we spoke with for the story, the guy we interviewed said she is hoping to make money by selling the dirt she has on anthony weiner. she's probably peddling the story. she hired an agent. she could make as much as $100,000 for selling the story. she's not the only one. we spoke to another woman who didn't want to be identified. a friend of her that is worked at the tanning salon. she didn't want to go on camera but asked if we would pay her if she went on camera. we told her we would not. wolf? what's in a name? what britain's new prince will be called and what his monikers mean to future subjects. later, a 360 investigation into a luxury cruise liner. the bacteria ate better than the passengers.
1:15 am
tonight, the name the whole world has been waiting for. deep breath here. it is, his royal prince george alexander louis of cambridge. that's the big name for this little guy. william and catherine's first son. the announcement coming this afternoon. if and when he takes the throne it will be easier to remember, king george the 7th, for now the tabloids are having fun.
1:16 am
tomorrow's headline boy george, adding in small type, that's his royal heiness. either way, the name george runs deep. st. george is the patron saint of england. on a more earthly plain, the name was big with the punters as the british betting public is called london bookies making the name their odds on favorite. and they were absolutely right on the money this time. i talked about the choice earlier tonight with correspondent max foster and cnn royal commentator victoria arbitur. max, we have a name for the prince, george alexander louis. take us through the announcement of the name. >> when didn't know when it was going to come and it could have come over the next few days. but it was the visit by the queen to kensington palace that got me going.
1:17 am
william said yesterday they were working on a name and we had to interpret that. had they chosen a name? had they not chosen a name? the queen popped over. i suspect he wanted to put it past her first in the first visit to the baby, her first sighting of her great grandchild and future heir. so i think they put it past the queen and got thinking and by the end of the day we got it in an e-mail. that's really the sort of conclusion to this whole royal baby story. >> as you say, today's announcement was relatively quick in royal standards. it took charles and diana a week to come up with the name william, right? >> it did. but also, they were very quick on harry, so there is a difference there. and also, i think this is linked in, wolf, to a statement i got a bit earlier, some words of guidance from the palace that this is now their private time. they want to spend time with their son and they have gone to bucklebury to the home. i think there is a message they
1:18 am
think this is over. they gave that to the world media yesterday. we saw those extraordinary scenes but want to be on their own. they want the media to stay away and coming out with the name at this point, there is less to speculate from here. >> that's a good point. we learned prince harry and aunt pippa should we call her, also visited the new baby today. how did that go? >> we haven't got much information on that and we didn't find out about pippa for awhile. she went through a backdoor. they announced harry had met the baby. so they were in kensington palace for a day. they stayed overnight. they met the queen and introduced the baby to harry. that was the formalities. they are a very tight unit, mother, father and baby and around them the immediate middleton family and harry and prince charles and the duchess. they have all met the baby. now it's time for the family to
1:19 am
bond, and they want the media to stay well out of their way. >> good point, too. let's bring in victoria. george was certainly the popular choice among a lot of the betting firms. what's the significance of this name? >> george was indeed a front-runner. there have been six king georges since 1714. the last prince of cambridge was prince george and the queen's beloved grandfather george the 5th who was the founder of the house of windsor. he was a george obviously. the queen's father took george as his kingly name. so there are a lot of positive george sentiments here. so i think we did expect to see george. it's also become quite cool and trendy again in the uk so a child can go to school and no fear of being teased for classmates for too old-fashioned a name. >> prince george is a lovely name. alexander and louis, is there a special significance for those names, as well? >> i think there are.
1:20 am
they have been very, very clever here in honoring family members. alexander is, of course, the male form of alexandria, which is the queen's middle name. princess alexander is william's godmother's name. there have been three king alexanders of scotland and they did meet in scotland. louie, it is a middle name of prince william but the uncle of prince phillip, much beloved uncle. charles adored him and called him an honorary godfather. so i think, really, a nice way to pay tribute to a family member from phillip's side but someone charles so greatly adored. >> very nice point. and max, what is next for the new prince? >> well, the next public event, if you'd like, is a photo shoot, a stills photographer will be invited in to take pictures and share those pictures and then after that the christening probably in october. that will be a moment. some talk about us having
1:21 am
opportunity to film the birth certificate being signed. it eesz a small thing but will get a lot of coverage on the baby. also, we've got the name, but it's not entirely conclusive because will he be known as prince george, if you consider prince henry is known by his nickname, which is harry and there are other royal that is have taken their middle names. so maybe he'll be known as prince louis. for now he's certainly prince george. >> he certainly is. max foster thanks very much. victoria, thanks to you, as well. as you've been hearing, the new prince is now third in line to be king, yet the day before yesterday, prince harry was, now he's number four. when it comes to future kings and queens in britain, the first to arrive does not always get to wear the crown. "360's" tom foreman has the royal rules. >> there is the baby, the new royal heir in the united kingdom. >> reporter: although he's
1:22 am
waited nine months for this day, the proud grandfather prince charles has waited a lifetime at the head of a line of shifting people who some day might take the throne when queen elizabeth is gone. here is how it worked. when he was a child, charles was the eldest son of the queen and that made him the heir apparent. next in line was his sister ann but only for a period of time, because with the birth of her brothers, andrew and edward, she got pushed down the chain. it's favored males over females. she dropped to fourth place and changes were not done yet. just over 30 years ago, prince charles and the late princess diana had prince william and two years later, prince harry. as children of the heir apparent, they slid into the slots immediately behind their father, just as the baby has now slipped into third place behind william and in front of his uncle harry. and after them, comes well a lot of people.
1:23 am
this is the current lineup of royal family members who might one day ascend to the throne. including not only the brothers of charles but also all of their children and of course, way down the list once again, ann. you may think this is pretty unfair to women and many brits did, too, that's why right now they are in the process of changing their law so in the future the crown will go to whomever is next in the direct line, male or female. still, it may take a long time to test that law because the new baby is a boy, the queen is looking pretty good at the age of 87. her son has been waiting 65 years and his son is 31, meaning this prince's shot at the throne may be a half century away. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> all right. for more on this story, go to cnn.com. just ahead here, i'll ask

keeping them honest tonight, republican congressman steve king of iowa taking heat for remarks he made arguing against the dream act, the legislation that would ultimately give citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants. i'll talk to the congressman in the first live television interview since the comments in a moment. first, background on what got so many people upset. in a recent interview, congressman king said many undocumented children, the vast majority, in fact, are drug mules. listen to this. >> some of them are valedictorians. my answer to that is -- and by the way, their parents brought them in, it wasn't their fault. it's true in some cases. they aren't all brought in with their parents, for every valedictorian, they have 600 pounds of marijuana going across the desert.
1:29 am
>> the house majority called it inexcusable but today congressman king said the facts support his words. it's not the first time he's made controversial comments about immigrants. in the 2012 speech he compared legal immigrants to bird dogs. listen to this. >> you want a good bird dog, you want one that is aggressive. pick the aggressive one, not the one sleeping in the corner. if you want one to sit on the couch, pick the one sleeping in the corner but that's so you get the pick of the litter and you got yourself a pretty good bird dog. we got the pick of every civilization in the planet. it's hard to get here, they had to be inspired to come. >> just days ago, the congressman stood by those remarks saying his speech was complimentary to immigrants. keeping them honest, plenty of people didn't see it that way. congressman king is joining us now.
1:30 am
congressman, thank you very much. and i want you to respond, give you a chance to respond, first of all, to the speaker of the house john boehner called your comments about immigrants and drug smuggling wrong and said there can be honest disagreements without using hateful language and as you know the mar majority leader, eric cantor said, i strongly disagree with his characterization of the children of immigrants and find the comments of his words inexcusable. do you want to revise and amend your comments or stand by them? >> of course, i wouldn't revise and amend. first, i've got to back a couple things up, wolf. one is, that discussion about the pick of the litter is about self-selected legal immigrants who are the cream of the crop, the vigor of the american civilization. that speech was clear and nobody there thought otherwise. this has been regenerated across through the media. then neither did i describe the vast majority of those who come
1:31 am
in here as drug smugglers. what i said is for every valedictorian, there are 100 that are smuggling drugs into the united states. and i think the numbers support that. so no, i won't back up on that statement. i think it's important that the people in congress can objectively look at the data out there, the real facts and know 80 to 90% of the illegal drugs that come into america come from or through mexico and the people that are carrying them are increasingly young people. now remember, the dream act goes up to 35. we're just talking about young people here. but we're seeing that the numbers of those arrested have gone a multiple of ten times over the last year and a half or so and in mexico the multiples 800 to 900 a year in mexico arrested smuggling drugs and for drug related crimes. so we have a problem here. these people would be legalized with those valedictorians, as well. that's my point. i think it's important we stop, look at the facts, and take it a deep breath and analyze what is going on here. we're setting policy for the destiny of america. >> let's talk about that.
1:32 am
another fellow republican congressman called your comments, and i'm quoting him now, irresponsible and reprehensible. can you see how they may be offended with that? >> no. >> can you see how they think that? they take issue with your language? someone that may even agree with your policy proposals but take issue with your language. >> and, you know, i would suspect none of those people you referenced their quote ever saw the video of what i did, nor read through the full transcript of what i said. instead, they are reacting to what a reporter said to them, which is an edited version of this and they ought to take a deep breath and if i made derogatory comments about my colleagues, i would listen to what they said and have an objective opinion. >> so you think john boehner and eric cantor would react so bitterly and angrily against you if they didn't get a full picture? >> i don't think they saw the
1:33 am
full video or read the full text. i think they are acting to part of it and i think it may well be staff recommendation. >> let me play the clip one more time because i want to be fair to you. this is what you said that generated this uproar. listen to this. >> some of them are valedictorians. my answer to that is, by the way, their parents brought them in, it wasn't their false. it's true in some cases, but they aren't all valedictorians or brought in by their parents. for every one who is a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there and they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. >> for every valedictorian, who is a dreamer, is what they call them, there is 100 out there smuggling drugs, is that what you're saying? >> wolf, yes. you get one valedictorian per class per year. and they aren't all dreamers. a lot of other american kids out here competing for that valedictorian status. every night there are dozens and
1:34 am
scores of people that are smuggling drugs across our border. i've been down there multiple times. i've sat along the border at night. i traveled with the border patrol for days on end. i sat on a ranch house in the desert and had the border patrol and helicopter pilots come to me one at a time and tell me their narratives. this isn't something made up in thin air. this is people enforcing it. i've seen it with my eyes, i've unloaded the illegal drugs with my hands and i've watched the data and video the that support what i say and the longer this dialogue goes, the more the american people will understand what i'm saying is factually correct and probably understated. >> i know you gave an interview to radio iowa and you elaborated the source of your figures. among other things, you said this, and i want to be previce on what you said. you said that comes from being down on the boarder spending
1:35 am
days and nights down there on multiple trips and time with border patrol. that description essentially came from them. are you saying customs and border patrol officials said for every valedictorian there is 100 drug smugglers? >> it's interesting how this interpretation can come off what i said. i was clear about what i said. the law enforcement officers, i have seen these drug smugglers. the law enforcement officers described them to me, as well. they know what they are doing. they have to chase people down now, the people they meet crossing the border illegally used to surrender themselves when they encountered border patrol agents. now, more often, they will take fight or flight. these are the characteristics you'll hear from the people putting their lives on the line to defend us. i wasn't talking about the ratio. they don't know. border patrol agents don't know how many valedictorians we have. i don't know that the public knows either, but it's not near
1:36 am
as many as the advocates of the dream act would like to have you play. run a little word search through the senate and house and see how many times the word valedictorian pops up. it peaked in 2006 in the middle of our immigration debate and threatens to peak again now. they would like to characterize this about being about valedictorians. these kids are good kids. it's not their fault. it's never the kid's fault. yes, there are some good kids that are part of this, and it's too bad they're caught in this flux we're in. by the same token, you will also be legalizing the people breaking our laws in a very bad way, smuggling drugs, not just crossing the border, smuggling contraband into the united states. we need to know about that and weigh that in with our policy. remember though, i believe in the dignity of every human person. it's a faithful tenant with me. what i've said here is descriptive, is accurate and i
1:37 am
should not offend anybody because it's also objective. >> your source at the border for this information was a member of the border patrol, is that what you're saying? >> a number of border i.c.e. agents, a number of helicopter pilots and protection personnel. none of those folks down there know me and i hope to go back and reconnect with them. when you talk to the agents, they're going to say steve king is right. we should not as a congress stick our heads in the sand because of political pressure. we've got to do the right and objective thing. we only get to do this once. there's no putting the genie back in the bottle, wolf. >> thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. coming up, what health inspectors found on one of the most exclusive luxury cruise lines around. stored in crew cabins, pots and pans. what's going on here? drew griffin is keeping them honest, that's next. also ahead, a very close call for a crocodile trainer in thailand, all caught on tape. i was having trouble getting out of bed in the

1:42 am
fires, a cruise stranded at sea without working toilets and a slew of bad publicity. now comes word on pictures with a cruise line dodging government health inspections but hiding treys of food with cheese, eggs, milk and raw meat inside crew cabins and to make matters worse it happened on one of the most luxurious cruise ships around. tonight you'll hear people say it's not repeat, not an isolated incident. investigative correspondent drew griffin is keeping them honest. >> reporter: the silver sea cruise line bills itself as ultra exclusive, small ships, personalized service and an intimate setting. a high-end experience that comes with a very high-end price. on average the company says $5,000 per week per passenger. the all inclusive tab comes with endless free drinks, sophisticated entertainment and a culinary experience, the cruise line calls world class.
1:43 am
>> every silver sea voyage is a feast for the senses. >> reporter: but passengers didn't know that feast might include this. look at these, pictures taken by crew members showing meat stored in crew cabin sinks, pots and pans in crew hallways, wrapped food stashed everywhere, except in the galleys, where it belonged. why? it's all spelled out in this danning report from u.s. health inspectors from the centers for disease control. it writes, an organized effort was made to physically remove over 15 full trolleys of food, including milk, raw meats, pasturized eggs, cheeses of all types, all hidden in individual cabins shared by two or three galley crew members in order to avoid inspection. surprise inspection took place after the cdc was tipped off. an italian pastry chef said he
1:44 am
had a 40-day contract and night after night they were ordered to hide food in his cabin in case of an inspection. it was so bad, this chef wouldn't eat the food served to passengers. >> absolutely, sir. that's why i didn't even eat. i used to make a pizza for myself on a daily basis and that's all. because if you think about it, you know, the eggs that you got to eat with the omelet, the temperature a temperature of almost 70 degrees, that would make everybody sick. >> and you personally had to sleep with some of this food in your cabin quarters? >> yes, yes, sir with three crew cabin members. >> reporter: so it was you, two other crew cabin members, and a trolly full of salami? >> and blue cheese. >> reporter: and blue cheese. >> yes. >> reporter: the cdc figured out
1:45 am
what was happening when a crew member sent these photos to federal health inspectors and maritime attorney jim walker. walker, whose law firm represents cruise ship employees and wrongful termination and injury cases say what is you're seeing here is a common game. >> there is a scramble that takes place. this is what we learned from the crew members. >> reporter: what is different this time, the cdc was tipped off and on june 17th staged a surprise inspection as the silver shadow docked in alaska. the federal health inspection shows a grade of 82. >> so i believe they were caught essentially playing a game, the cdc was alerted by crew members who were concerned about the hygiene on the ship. and they went in and verified their complaints. >> reporter: silver seas, the cruise company base in fort lauderdale, florida, wouldn't give cnn any interview but sent a statement saying it's deeply disappointed by this specific
1:46 am
and only unsatisfactory score. the company cited its long track record with the cdc on good scores, some of them 90%, some of them as high as 100% and said in this case, it's taking action to fix the problem. >> they called it an anomaly, basically. this ship scores 97 to 100. >> reporter: do we really think this was the one time, the one time where they played hide and seek and ran everything out on trollies from the galley and we just happened to catch them one time? >> reporter: according to the cdc report inspectors poured chlorine liquid over the discarded food on board the silver shadow to prevent any of it from being reused. it may surprise you that's all the federal health inspectors could do. no fines, the ship was not shut down. instead, the cruise line filed a record of the corrective actions taken to fix the problems. among them, the cruise line reminded it's crew that hiding
1:47 am
raw meat, cheese and eggs in non-refrigerated crew cabins was not allowed. >> drew is joining us now. so that's it, they told the crew not to do it again? who gave the order? who was responsible for all of this? who was fired, drew? >> reporter: you know, those are really good questions, wolf. we were surprised to learn they come with no answers. the cdc relatively powerless in this. as we reported, no fine. the cruise line wouldn't tell us who gave the orders. who if anyone was fired. they merely said we won't do it again and we're allowed to keep sailing. >> and that's it? doesn't seem very comforting if you were a cruise passenger on board this ship, drew. >> reporter: no, and this is part of the weak regulations, the weak rules, the weak laws that people like senator jay rockefeller have been holding hearings about and speaking out
1:48 am
