11:07 am
seen in recent memory. >> earlier, i spoke to a spokesperson for the department of emergency management in north carolina. he explained why it is so bad there. >> this is probably the worst flooding we have had in western north carolina since 2004. that was tropical storm francis and ivan, the result in 2004. since then, we have been in a large drought area. now, because of the amount of rain we have had and we are seeing a lot of flash floods and a lot of landslides. it is taking a toll on the emergency services as well as the residents of this area of north carolina. >> the rain was heavy, constant. as i mentioned, pamela, the good news is that it stopped for now. later this week, we expect more rain in this very same area. >> that is not good news for folks there. >> thanks so much, nick valencia. that area of north carolina just got hammered with rain. jennifer delgado is live in the weather center. any more storms on the horizon?
11:08 am
>> we are only thinking maybe you might see an isolated shower or two out there for today. some of these totals were quite impressive. i pulled this up to give you an idea of how much rain and exactly where it fell. >> four areas from mount air rid to hickory, we saw the result of the flash flooding there. as i said, things are drying out across parts of north carolina. you can still see, we are pulling in a few areas. the worst is offshore. our next area of concern is now in the plains as well as in parts of the midwest. this region here is now going to be under the gun for potentially flooding very similar to what we saw coming out of north carolina. we have this area of low pressure right here pulling in a lot of moisture from the gulf of mex q mexico. that is going to lead to flash flooding. some locations, 4-6 inches in a very short period of time. we also want to point out to you for regions like missouri as
11:09 am
well as into iowa, they can pick up anywhere between 3-5 inches within the next 48 hours. they already have flood watches in place innen ait anticipatio heavy rainfall. that will start to work into western kansas as we head into late tonight. i also want to update you on tropical storm flossie, is heading towards hawaii. maximum winds at 65 miles an hour. across the hawaii islands as we go through tuesday. here is the big island here as well maui. it looks like it will pass between those islands but it looks like the worst of it could be felt in areas like honolulu where they could be picking up on the storm surge. that's something to watch. with this tropical storm coming through, we all know we are going to be dealing with strong winds, heavy rainfall, in
11:10 am
addition to the storm surge. heavy rainfall coming to the plains. folks there should exercise caution. thank you, jennifer delgado. something nobody has seen before. a flash mob started dancing to a song called francis just before they celebrated rio de janeiro. millions have gathered to hear the pontiff speak of world youth day. it was his final mass before he returned to the vatican. the next world youth day will be held in poland in 2016. megachurch pastor, rick warren, is back in the pulpit. he returned to his saddleback church in southern california saturday and preached his first sermon since his son committed suicide back in april. in his 70-minute sermon, he bought back tears, cracked jokes and made a passionate plea to
11:11 am
eradicate the stigma of mental health problems. >> as the u.s. tries to bargain to get edward snowden back, everyone else is trying to figure out where he is. we are going to walk you through the moscow airport and try to figure out who could be helping him. we'll be right back. hope you stick ashd. jooinchtsz . and feels just like underwear. get a free sample and try for yourself.

11:14 am
he is accused of handing over hundreds of thousands of documents to wikileaks. manning is charged with aiding the enemy. no word if edward know sden will stay in russia. he is still hiding in the moscow airport. phil black looks at how it came to this and what's at stake for u.s./russia relations. >> reporter: june 23rd, edward snowden arrives in moscow. there are hundreds of cameras waiting but he doesn't stroll into the arrivals area. from that day, one of america's most wanted is tracked somewhere in moscow's airport. he is hunted. journalists from around the world fly in to search the three terminals that make up the transit zone for international passengers. corridors, cafes, duty-free stores, v.i.p. lounges, they are
11:15 am
all checked. no snowden. there is a small hotel too. the staff repeatedly tell reporters he is not staying there. dozens of journalists take a flight to cuba on the belief that snowden will also be on board. he isn't. so it goes for weeks, to search for snowden is thorough and fruitless. then, one day, he suddenly decides to invite some people over. >> a little over one month ago, i had family, a home in paradise and i lived in great comfort. >> reporter: russian/cuban rights activists, lawyers are summoned to the airport to hear the fugitive and hear his plans. he announces he wants to seek asylum in russia. no one else has seen him throughout his stay. it points to a lodge cgical
11:16 am
conclusion. the united states is angry, they want the accused criminal back. the russian government refers to snowden as a human rights activist. they refuse to extradite him. five weeks after his arrival and despite his official application, russian hospitality is limited. he is being hidden, fed and sheltered somewhere in the airport but there is no sign he is about to be invited into the country. phil black, cnn, moscow. the question is, is there bad behavior damaging the party's brand?

11:20 am
ahead this week, two high-profile politicians face uncertain futures, one a plmayo of a big city, san diego, california. one who wants to be the mayor of new york. both under the microscope for bad behavior and trying to stay afloat these things are very wrong, deeply regret them. i worked through them with my wife. they are behind me. >> my failure to respect women and the intimidating conduct i engage in at times is inexcusable. >> cnn's chief political correspondent, candy crowley, joins me now from washington. hi, nice to see you. >> good to see you. san diego mayor, bob filner, facing harassment allegations. he says he is going to get counsel and stay on the job.
11:21 am
anthony weiner saying he has done more sexting to women and saying he is staying in the race for new york mayor. both are democrats. do you think they are hurting the democratic party brand in their states and perhaps nationally? >> probably not their party. they may be doing more damage to the image of politicians, if that's possible and maybe to their gender but there are enough of these instances, at least vario per mutations of th. it is not seen as one parties problem or the other. i will say that the san diego mayor was the first democrat they have had there. he was just elected. that's a blow to the party. if you are talking surely about image, this is about politicians in general, i think. it might be more harmful to them. in fact, there are any number of people trying to get san diego mayor out of office to get him to quit.
11:22 am
today, on the show earlier, my show "state of the union," senator dianne feinstein added her voice. >> this kind of absence of a moral compass is subject to recall. i suspect there will be recalls. >> you think he should make it easier and resign? >> i think he should make it easier and resign, that's right. >> there you heard it. mounting pressure on mayor filner in san diego. let's go back to new york here. candy. anthony weiner brought his wife to a news conference to help rescue his campaign. today, we have learned his campaign manager has quit. do you think he is toast or does he have a fighting chance of being new york's mayor? >> my guess is he is not going to become new york's mayor. i thought that before we got this second chapter of what's been going on in the life of anthony weiner lately. there will be a runoff. this is a very crowded race. in general, in crowded races, what really counts is whether
11:23 am
you can get voters out. to get voters out, you need a big name or a big machine behind you. anthony weiner doesn't have those things. he was already at a disadvantage. those pole numbers early on. he is running second now. i suppose he could get the runoff. if nobody gets 40%, there has to be a democratic runoff. i think he is pretty much lessened the chances he will even make the runoff. he doesn't sound like a guy that is going to get out of the race. >> sounds like he is digging in his heels. it is the last week of congress before lawmakers take a month off in the august recess. one big item on the agenda is that the senate is going to be taking up the confirmation of james comey to be the new fbi director. do you think he will get confirmed or will republicans hold that up? >> senator paul was not entirely happy with the responses he has been getting from the fbi about
11:24 am
policy, about those unmanned, unarmed drones in the u.s. basically used for surveillance of one sort or another. he has written a couple of letters to them. the last i heard, he was not entirely pleased with the answers he got. he has said he will hold up this nomination until he gets the answers. he did this before for a previous nomination. certainly, he will eventually be confirmed. it looks like that to me. it is possible there will be a whole other nomination and delay it. >> we will see what else gets done before the august recess. a lot to look forward to in washington this week. as always, candy crowley, you are on top of it. thank you so much. >> thanks. the gun violence in chicago has gotten so bad. members of congress are holding an emergency summit. we will show you how the prices have escalated and what lawmakers want to do about it just ahead.

quote
11:30 am
what they called an emergency summit on gun violence, inviting the public and community leaders to help them hash out a plan of action. much of the dialogue centered around opportunities for kids and a push for parents to step up. >> you got children on your mind but you don't have them in your heart. >> someone has to make a conscious decision within themselves to say, i'm going to do something differently and i'm going to take a child on my block in my community and i'm going to mentor this child. >> while the overall murder rate is down this year compared to last year, it is unacceptably high. 6-year-old kiana thompson was chot shot in the chest last weekend and 15-year-old hydea pendleton. >> i think we are going to see

welcome back. in six months, the iconic rings will welcome athletes from around the world to russia. a dark cloud could overshadow the feelingsing for gay athletes. russia has passed a series of strict anti-gay laws, one bans couples from adopting children and one bans from spreading prop pa began da to minors. the international olympic committee says the policies will not affect athletes or visitors.
11:35 am
the laws have sparked protests in russia quickly cut down. protests are spreading around the world. some bars have stopped selling russian vodka. some activists are calling for a boycott of the olympics all together. let's talk about this with sid zigler. nice to have you here with us. let's get straight to it. you think a boycott is the right way to handle this? >> no, i don't. for two reasons, no olympic boycott has ever accomplished anything. look at the 1980 usoc boycott of the moscow games. soviet stayed in afghanistan for nine more years. this punishes the athletes most,
11:36 am
not the soviets. >> you have been talking to some openly gay athletes, some that are going to be participating in the olympics. what are their thoughts. >> blake skiller is an openly gay speed skater. he said what i have said, i have been working so hard for the last four years, living thousands of miles from his family. he has sacrificed so much for the opportunity to make his olympic team and participate in sochi. he wants to go there and be a beacon of hope for the lgbt people in russia. you win by participating. he wants to go there, wear a rainbow pin and say, i'm here, i'm gay and i'm okay. >> we could be seeing symbolic protests. do you believe that there is any danger for some of the openly
11:37 am
gay athletes? >> i don't believe there is any danger. blake doesn't believe there is any danger. the russian government and everyone who hosts the olympics knows the world is watching. beijing knew the world was watching. they cleaned the air and the streets. there is no way the russian government is going to start arresting olympic athletes. the nazis didn't even do that when they hosted the games in 1936. there is no way it is going to happen. the russian government has said it won't happen. if it does happen, it is on the ioc. the ioc selected sochi to host this. russia has had a terrible human rights record. this is nothing new. they chose russia. it is up to the ioc to make sure the athletes are safe. >> good point there, cyd zeigler, co-founder of out sports.com. thank you for talking about us
11:38 am

11:42 am
lead to successful legal action. >> rabbi myron hire joins us from los angeles. nice to have you here. >> it is a pleasure. >> let's start with talking about this project. how did it come up? how did you come up with this campaign and why now? >> well, why now? because john demonich was successfully prosecuted by the government. they have never done this before. previously, they wanted only personal testimony from witnesses. now, they accept documentary he have dense. there are many auschwitz gods and gods of other death camps out there and people know who they are. this campaign is to draw attention to that fact. we have already received more than a dozen tips that we are
11:43 am
following up. for those who say, these are old people. let's remember that the united states justice department didn't say that whitey bulger, because he is 83, should not be brought to justice. >> some people are saying that this is vengeance. this is people that are at the end of their lives. you don't see it that way? >> well, first of all, that's why you have a judge. a judge will decide competence, if he sees that the person is incompetent capable of defending himself, the judge will throw the case out. we should not presume that. the justice department doesn't say, stop all investigations from all criminals that are now past 80. there is no such thing. why should we do that with histories worst murderers? >> tell us. circling back around to my initial question, how did you come up with this campaign, rabbi hier? >> well, the idea of the
11:44 am
campaign was that people know if we can create an intensive to get people to speak about it and if offering a reward will do that, it's worth this last effort. that's why we are doing it. it's already met with good results. people are responding. we haven't checked out all the information, all the tips. people are eager to participate. i believe we could find some of those gods that have lived out their lives without ever facing the bar of justice. >> you said that already a dozen leads. is that right? >> yes, that's correct. >> just from this past week. >> that's correct. we are following up the leads. that's correct. >> i want to touch on something else, on a different topic. peace talks between the israelis and pal stiniaestinians will re
11:45 am
friday. >> i am very skeptical but i would love for the talks to succeed and a viable two-state solution finally to come in place and resolve the conflict. what we have on the ground right now is a three-state solution. how are we going to get rid of hamas, which governs gaza? as long as hamas is in power and their charter calls for the destruction of israel, there will never be peace. look what happened in egypt where the muslim brotherhood. hamas is an offshoot of the muslim brotherhood. it is one thing for secretary of state john kerry to say say two-state solution but everybody that knows anything about israel knows that in reality, we have unfortunately, a three-state solution, because hamas does not recognize the leaders. president abbas has never been invited to visit gaza for seven
11:46 am
years. he can't visit his own people. how are we going to have peace if there are two separate palestinian states that israel has to give into? they are not going to do that. >> we'll see what happens when both sides come to the table. rabbi myron hei rechlr, thank y much for coming on and sharing your perspective. anthony weiner's sexting scandal wouldn't be a scandal in other parts of the world. we'll take a look at the very different definitions of cheating around the globe. that's next. ♪ this summer was definitely worth the wait. ♪ summer's best event from cadillac. let summer try and pass you by. lease this all-new cadillac ats for around $299 per month or purchase for 0% apr for 60 months. come in now for the best offers

11:50 am
plitcy messages. it depends on where you live in the world. different country, different definition of infidelity. nadia, you are from south africa. would a politician that cheated spark outrage there? >> i was in south africa when the lewinsky/clinton scandal broke. people there thought it was much ado about nothing. the south african president, the current president, has four wives and he is not renown for his fidelity. i am going to take us to france for a moment. sarkozy is now with his mistress, married to his mistress, carla bruni. he says he was already divorced. the current president left his partner of 27 years and now lives with his mistress. they had a great role model who was very public about his

11:52 am
countries have less socioeconomic power so they cheat less. >> is there a double standard with women when it comes to cheating? >> i think everywhere, what's good for the goose is not good for the gander. there are some middle eastern countries where infidelity is punishable by death. in this country the rate of infidelity has risen about 40% over the last two decades. i'm sure social media has a fair part to play in that. >> that would be a fair assumption. >> sex, passion and lust have brought down empires historically. i think we will see them continuing to bring down politicians. >> we will have to keep an eye on it. thank you so much, nadia. a flash mob of epic proportions. ♪ >> 3 million people singing and
