challenge for either one of them. have they responded to the charges? >> reporter: no, not as far as i'm aware. they have swept this investigation sort of under the carpet and behind them. they are not responding in any way. there's been a lot of speculation in the press about how angry they must be. >> we got to let it go there. thank you. appreciate. . thanks for watching "around the world." "cnn newsroom" starts now. alex rodriguez is considered one of baseball's greatest sluggers but his career now hanging in the balance. at any moment major league

baseball will announce what it plans to do about the performance enhancing drug use against a-rod. u.s. embassies shut down on high alert. how long will this last? we'll take you live to cairo. sex counselling. the mayor of san diego entering a two-week intensive program following a slew of claims. today is the day that alex rodriguez learns his fate with major league baseball. the league has been quiet about the suspected suspension. he's accused of taking p.e.d.s. announcement could come any moment. we are watching and waiting. i want to bring in our sports anchor. even if suspended he's expected

to play tonight. how does that work? >> the way the major league drug agreement works with its player union is while a player is appealing a suspension and alex said there's no question he's appealing this suspension when it comes down, they can still play while the suspension is going on. last week the league office leaked the possibility that instead of suspending him under the drug agreement they might suspend him under the commissioner's powers. that's when the commissioner says it's in best interest of the game. he wouldn't have been able toll play but it doesn't sound like they're going to do that. we're suspecting them to issues send him the normal way. he will appeal immediately. he's going to make his debut for the new york yankees because of the injuries he's had on the same day that baseball suspends him. one of the greatest suspensions for any drug related offense.

it's going to be a complete circus. we're expecting it to be a complete circus in the come weeks. ghets b he gets booed on the road and maybe at home. >> what is the significance here, these suspension, in terms of the sport itself? how widespread is this when talking about the performance enhancing drugs, what does it mean for the future? >> the tide has changed. you're having other players say throw these guys out of game. we don't think the penalty is harsh enough. we could see some dominos fall here that finally other athletes are saying i don't want people

cheating in my game either. that puts measure on me to cheat and it could be interesting to see what effect it has. >> why has it taken this long and why was it tolerated? >> it's hard to catch the cheaters. the way the performance enhancing drug works someone's got to invent it, the people use it and you have to discover the people. that's when you start to get testing. you'll have a bit of a conondrum and also a culture of tolerance is starting not to exist anymore. it's going to be interesting because a luj star. i want to show you a few of his numbers here. this is a guy who is accomplished everything you'd ever want in baseball. he was such a great prospect even when 16 years old. he was considered can't miss. 647 home runs. nearly 3,000 hits. 14 all-star appearances. he's climbing up the home run

chart. there was this one point he would take out barry bonds. barry bonds has an asterisk against his name. >> it's so disappointing when you think about that. whether or not it happens he will play for the yankees against chicago white sox. i imagine there's a lot of anticipation in terms of whether or not he shows up and what is the reaction when he does? >> reporter: the reaction is probably going to be very much in terms of what you heard rachel say. i would expect when rodriguez hits the field this evening here in chicago you're going to hear a lot of boos here at the stadium. a few cheers but based on from i've been hearing a number of

fans do not believer rodriguez. they believe he's overpaid and it's now time for him to go. he's out there practicing. he feels fit. he feels ready. he did not want to answer any questions about this anti-aging clinic in florida. he says it's all about getting back at third base and get back with his teammates. >> excited to be playing tonight. even more excited about monday. i feel like i can help us win and be a better team. >> reporter: speaking to rodriguez, it's probably a little more than a week ago now that you really get the impression or i got the impression from him that he really in some way wants to prove himself even after all that's happened.

there's noway he the play like he used to. he's not going to put up the numbers in the past but he still feels he has something to prove. he has a right to show the yankees he deserves to wear that uniform. >> is there a sense he's determined? he's still saying he's innocent or any sense of remorse or regret this is happening? >> reporter: i haven't seen regret. i've seen a determination to fight through his injuries. a determination to prove himself out on the field and i asked why he doesn't do more one or one interviews. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. here is also what we're

working on for this hour. this is an unprecedented move by the obama administration. closing 19 diplomatic posts for the week. san diego's mayor is taking to weeks off. he's going to rehab, counselling. dogged by sexual harassment allegations. he's hoping that therapy will help improve his image, perhaps change his behavior. we'll see. this little guy. he lost on jeopardy but it didn't end there. why so many on social media think he was robbed of his win. is the better choice for him,e he's agreed to give it up. that's today?

hp moonshot. it's time to build a better enterprise. together. saving time by booking an appointment online, even smarter. online scheduling. available now at meineke.com. intelligence analysts are combing through database, phone records, websites. they are searching for details about a terror attack. this is u.s. officials extending the closing around 19 posts around the world. embassie embassies, consulates will remain closed through saturday. each post is being watched

carefully. in cairo thick blast walls are blocking roads against the u.s. embassy. first of all, there's a lot going on there. what do we know about the impact. the u.s. embassy now closed. >> reporter: at this point the impact seems minimal. we should point out the blast wall has been erected for a long time now. that's because the u.s. embassy is blocking the square, a place where we have seen so many demonstrations. that was has been erected a while ago. the embassy is closed. the neighborhood seems to be calm and quiet. we can tell you the most

important business continues to take place. lindsey graham and john mccain in cairo. here in egypt the terror threat may not be as grave. i doubt washington would send these two senators over to cairo. >> an excellent point. what do the people in kiep row make of this? do they think it's a big deal. you have people killed in the streets over the last couple of weeks. now the security threat against the u.s. embassy. are they kind of shrugging their shoulders at this one? >> reporter: i think some are shrugging their shoulders. much are confused like much of the world. this makes for an basa awkward puzzling information. you've had these threats coming from washington for days that a terror attack could be coming.

on the other hand there's very little information coming as to what could be happening and what intelligent officials could have detected to sound these alarms. it has a lot of people saying okay there's these terror threats but what do we do now. a lot of questions remain unanswered. >> thank you. appreciate that. the obama add administration got a lot of criticism over the previous terror throat. >> benghazi was a complete failure. we dropped the ball. we have learned and the administration is doing this right. >> i want to bring in wolf blitzer out of washington. you have senator graham as well

as senator mccain heading to cairo. what is the politics? give us a bit of back scene in terms of the president reaching out. >> the politics are pretty bipartisan right now. you're getting a lot of praise not only from lindsey graham but a lot of other republicans and a bunch of democrats for the steps the u.s. is taking now as the state department says an abundance of caution. officials are nervous now. they are worried about what they see as a potential out there. they have been told this could happen soon. something sta strategic. that's why there's this massive embassy shut down from north africa to the middle east. it's something that's of deep

concern. it was underlined over the weekend. you had this major meeting going on at the white house. only within the past few minutes the chairman of the joints chief left the state department. whent over there to have lunch with john kerry, the secretary of state. you've covered washington for a long time. you get a sense when something is going on based on the rhythm of what's happening whether the state department, the white house, the pentagon, you get a feeling of what's going on. something is going on right now so people are nervous. >> it's interesting too how this is playing out. another one of those debates which is about the intelligence, behind closing these embassies. some are suggesting that the nsa surveillance programs, these are needed to support this kind of intelligence and that provided this information. i want you to listen to senator

saxbychambliss. >> these programs are controversial. they allow us to have the ability to gather this chatter that i referred to. if we did not have these programs then we wouldn't be able to listen in on the bad guys. >> wolf, do you think that's helping? do you think that's helping with the obama administration in trying to convince folks this isn't as bad as you think? >> saxby is a ranking republican on the intelligence committee. he gets a lot of inside frfgs from the intelligence community. i don't know if this particular threat is the result of nsa surveillance, any of these programs that have been monitoring conversations of various potential terrorists out

there or whether it could have been some sort of human source. some sort of internal spy that may have provided this kind of information. i have no idea where the information came from but i do sense that someone like saxby who is a big supporter they think these kinds of programs are worth it despite the problems they may generate for americans privacy. >> thank you. g good to see you. new video from l.a.'s venice beach. this is car plowing into a crowded boardwalk killing one and sending 12 to the hospital. what police know about the suspect now. hero: if you had a chance to go anywhere in the world,

the driver was looking for blood. >> reporter: you see the suspect's car plowing in and swerving around barriers. >> the just drove and took that barrier down and bodies were scattering and flying in the air and people were screaming and it was absolute mayhem. >> reporter: a second camera angle shows the driver getting out casing the boardwalk. ghets back in and floors it. >> he has to have pressed foot to the gas because tires started screeching. he was looking for blood. that guy's intention was to kill people. >> reporter: an italian tourist on her honeymoon was killed and 11 others injured in a scene a quarter mile long. the suspect is nathan campbell

of los angeles. just two hours later he sur rended. he said i think you're looking for me. the woman killed is alex grupini. 32 years old. she and her husband were married july 20th. the new groom was by her side at the time of the accident and tried to pull his way away from the speeding car. if there's a motive in this carnage police aren't saying right now. they did say that campbell was bent on evil. >> this is awful. paul, i want to bring you in here to ask you some questions about this. what do we know? do we know more about the victims, the honeymooners? >> reporter: they were on their honeymoon in los angeles. we understand from the italian

consulate and were next headed to hawaii. he's doing well physically but not mentally. >> it's a beautiful scene, very crowded. people must be a little nervous. how are people feeling? >> reporter: they're very afraid. the councilman says he wants to erect more barriers or posts to prevent something like this. he says by accidents drivers get way to close so obviously people in mourning in venice california. >> we're seeing this memorial. pictures for those victims as well, for the honeymooners. >> reporter: everyone thinking of the honeymooners. we understand their family will be flying to the united states soon. some other information just in. we understand now that 15 people

were injured and one deceased. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. ahead on news room all eyes now on a-rod. is he going to play again? we're waiting for word on his suspension. i don'without goingcisions to angie's list first. with angie's list, i know who to call, and i know the results will be fantastic! find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. the beach on your tv is much closer than it appears.

we're following the big sports story of the day. what's going to happen to alex rodriguez? what's going to be the fall out of the drug scandal? joe, we're waiting on pins and needles here. this is a big, big deal. >> we've been waiting for a while. two sources did tell cnn that is

the day, monday, we'll finally find out what a-rod suspension will be. the yankee's slugger will avoid a lifetime ban and receive a 214 game suspension. this is a win for a-rod. if he's suspended under only the drug policy he'll get to play while he appeals the process. that process could last more than a month. we'll be talking about this for some time. the yankees do play tonight. they play in chicago and yesterday manager said a-rod is pencilled in the lineup tonight. >> if he's in there, i'm going to play him. that's the latest situation. as i said you'll hear about everything before i will. >> there's trouble brewing for johnny football. johnny manzell is being investigated for being paid to

sign autographs. he reportedly signed hundreds of photos and helmets that were dealed real by authentication companies. if he accepted money or gifts both he and the aggies could face punishment. he could be ruled inel vi ed inr a few games during the 2014 season. many starters on both teams sat this out giving the young guys plenty of time to make an impression. the cowboys won the opener 24-20 but obviously in preseason nothing really counts. little piece of breaking news that came down. fox sports, this is fox sports reporting that 12 players will be suspended for their

connection to the biogenecist clinic. major league baseball has not confirmed we're waiting for an announcement connected to alex rodriguez. >> thank you very much. we're going to follow up on that. the sports world is waiting to see what he will happen to alex rodriguez. he's the highest paid player and whether or not that suspension and what kind of suspension he'll get. i want to bring in sports editor of the nation magazine. dave, just react to the news. you have 12 players already, if this is true, who are facing suspension. >> i was looking down the list at those 12 players. the story is all 12 of those players, a lot of casual fans might not know the names but they're all born outside of the united states. they're all either from the dominican republic, venezuela or

nicuaragua. they invest billions in countries where performance enhancing drugs are legal and available over the counter. >> what do we anticipate with a-rod today? >> we anticipate a-rod to appeal the suspension. he just turned 38 years old. if he repeals he gets another month to play and remind fans why they fell in love with him or i should do air quotes, fell in love with him. he's never been the most lovable of players. the risk is if he loses the appeal and that's highly probable that means he doesn't get to go back on a major league field, 2014, the year he turns 40. >> he's suggests they're going after him because they don't

want to fulfill the rest of his contract which is about $100 million. how much of this is about the money? >> it's not just alex rodriguez saying that. buck showalter, the manager of the baltimore orioles said the same thing. even if he gets suspended for the 200 games, that's a saving of $34 million. the new york yankees are the most highest spending but even for them $34 million is a tremendous amount of money relative to their payroll and it's something they would love to not pay alex rodriguez who hasn't been a productive player in several years. >> do you think if they suspend him for life or a certain number of game what is does this mean for the sport in general? does it mean it becomes clean and will be effective in preventing other players from cheating? >> it's not going to do it. the one issue with biogencist is

none of these players turned up a positive steroid test. everything is happening because some local reporters in south florida did the kind of shoe leather journalism that cracked the case about this one particular anti-aging clinic. the testing procedures are still flawed. major league baseball does nothing to make sure that the academies they are setting up in latin america are clean. there's a lot more work major league baseball has to do going forward. contracts are not abridged by coming up positive on any of these tests. until that happens this quote, unquote cheating still plays off for players in the long run. >> that's an excellent point. we'll be watching closely the developing news of those 12 players already suspend. thank you. another woman has come forward accusing san diego mayor's of inappropriate sexual

a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions,

bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

the mayor of san diego begins two weeks of behavior counselling today to deal with sexual harassment allegations. a tenth woman has come forward accusing mayor bob philner of unwanted sexual advances. casey, last weekend had chance to talk to one of women. says that he pinched her on the butt. what does this woman say he did? >> it's a little bit different of situation here. this accuser says that she met mayor philner in church. a fund-raiser for african refugees. at tend she went to the mayor and reintroduced herself and he looked in her eyes and took her by the hand and said you're so beautiful i can't take my eyes

off of you and despite the wedding ring he asked her if she was married and asked her if she would go out on date with him. while this does not rise to the level of some of the other accuser who is said he had him this the infamous bear hug and slobbered down their chin and o outrageous things and it does have a pattern that he would ask if they were married and ask them on a date in a public setting. >> explain what this behavior counselling involves. what will take place at this facility? >> i'm not sure to be honest with you. they are keeping the location secret. they won't discuss what kind of therapy he's going through. when you hear someone going away to rehab you think they will be removed from daily activities. he's still going to be briefed twice day on what's going on in

the city of san diego. he still will retain control over the city of san diego. he has delegated some responsibilities but it's a very strange therapy. >> all right. i know quite a number of people are saying he should step down. we'll see if the therapy follows those complaints. this is closing arguments being made. this is the trial of james whitey bulger, the alleged crime boss accused of 19 murders. each side has three hours to make its final case before the jury decides his fate. over the past seven weeks jurors have heard from convicted gangsters, ex-drug dealers, families of the victims. i want to bring in debra outside the courthouse in boston. it's been extraordinary the kind of detail you've learned from the people who have taken the stand and now the defense just starting its closing arguments, yes.

>> reporter: the defense came out strong. they said is why aren't some of the witnesses, the hitman, the enforce enforce enforcer, the killer, why are they still throughoout there? why are they walking the street? they're playing to the jury's emotion trying to remind them this should be shared equally. bulger is not tonl one responsible. that's what they came out as their first salvo. the prosecution took about three hours to make its case and they said, they tried to sum up seven weeks of evidence and testimony for more than 70 witnesses. the prosecutor said look, as leerd of this organized crime ring, whitey bulger is legally responsible for all of it has a

principal, aider and abetter. he implored the jury to find him guilty on every count. he said whitey bulger pulled the trigger over and over again. he knew where the bodies were bury because he's the one who were there when they were put in a dirt floor or shoved into holes where they were all found together. the prosecution made it clear that whitey bulger took any chance he got to shame down people for tens of thousands of dollars and shoving a rifle into a man's mouth. they said bulger's eyes would light up at the thought of it. defense has its turn. they in breaking it down and go back to the 1960s to show why the government was involved in this. >> we know he's not taking the stand. ahead, a brutal beating on a

13-year-old after he told school fish officials that one tried to sell him drugs. you can hear the 13-year-old's cries for help as he's punched and stop. they broke his arm and stole his money. the three boys were arrested on aggravated battery charges. according to pinellas school policy the driver is not required to intervene. he said he was too afraid to intervene. >> i was in shock. >> reporter: be county leaves it up to the county but many forbid drivers from stopping police. moody won't face charges but the 64-year-old could have done more. >> there was clearly an opportunity for him to intervene and or check on the welfare of the children or the child in

this case. he didn't make any effort to do so. >> reporter: while his attorney says that was not an option. he said he's haunted by the attack wondering if he could have done more. >> i wanted to help him so bad. i wanted to help him. >> pamela brown joins us. you can see both sides of this. the bus driver who might have been afraid and nobody wants to see this poor kid suffer. what happens now? >> reporter: the bottom line is the bus driver was in a tough situation. it was up to his discretion to intervene and break up the fight. there was nothing under the law that said he had to do that. he did what he was required to do which is to call dispatch and call for help as we heard in the story. if he did intervene then that could bring up more problems. he could have been injured. other kids could have been injured and you open the door to assault charges.

there's a reason why the prosecutor's office did not charge the >> we don't. we know that he broke his arm. he had two black eyes. and it's kind of incredible when you look at that video that he didn't suffer worse injuries. it's horrific looking at that video and seeing what those teenage kids are doing to that poor victim. the think the bottom line here is where were the parents? >> absolutely. thank you. appreciate it. floodwaters are rolling through the streets. this is in kansas. this is parts of the country getting ready for more severe storms. going to find out from chad myers, where is the threat today? as got really good chocolate shakes.
