10:00 am
dive gear. maybe there will be some heavy furniture laying around. then you can photo shop out the dive gear and somebody will think you're a free diver. >> i've got to go. >> great seeing you. >> more after the break. >> see you tomorrow. after a decade as a home of torture, ariel castro's house is torn to pieces. one of his victim bravely watches from across the street. he didn't have our bags. he was looking at our bags. >> he had our front. >> it was wrong. why would you come here with us and do what you did? why? is it a turn on. >> new allegations of sexual harassment of san diego's mayor. this time from women who served in the u.s. military. also $425 million, that's
10:01 am
how much tonight's powerball jackpot is worth. thespendsing that kind of money, endless. hello, everyone. i'm fredericka whitfield. it was a house of horrors, a house are the unimaginable took place. now it's being destroyed. this morning crews began demolition of the home. that's where he held three women against their will. they were prisoners for a decade. martin savidge joins us now. what was it like as this demolition was getting under way there? >> reporter: it's an odd sense that you got. i think it was celebration and saturdayness at the same time. the end of a horrible chapter and the recognition that this community is going to move on. right behind us they are still hard at work.
10:02 am
they are down to the dirt add it were. they have cleared about the last remnants of the debris. we're in the process of doing it. the weather has been a bit of a problem. tths mo it's moving in rain again. the basement was the heart of that house of horrors where a bunch of the abuse took place for those women. once they get that down then they will put grass down and the future of it remains to be seen. it could be a park. it could billion playground. i think that the most powerful moment was michelle knight because maybe the last person you might expect and yet she felt she had to be here this morning and watch it all happen and speak out as she did. >> is there kind of an explanation or is she saying why she is allowing herself to be so public. i think most people are calling her very courageous for doing
10:03 am
so, but what is behind her motivation or how is it she has this courage to be so public? >> in fact, that question was asked of her today. we have not had an opportunity to question her. she did take some questions and i was asked and she said the reason i'm speaking out is because when i was held for 11 years inside of that home there was no one who was speaking for me. it's a simple but painfully powerful message. she's using these opportunities to speak out not about her anger or any retribution. she's speaking about the hundreds, thousands that are missing. she's going to become their voice. >> earlier releasing those yellow balloons. thanks so much.
10:04 am
now, two more women have come out across the mayor of san diego of inappropriate behavior saying he was flirting, groping and even kissing them. that makes 13 who says major bob filner sexually harassed them. he's at a two-week treatment program now. there's a difference between these two latest accusers and others. >> it's your newly favorite congressman bob filner. the one who fell in love with you during your last speech. >> it was kind of creepy. >> reporter: the voice sounded like bob filner. donna met here a year ago at a women's veteran's event. the problem isn't just the voice mail. it's how he made advances and to whom. >> we felt like we could trust him. he's fighting for our cause. >> reporter: she's retired u.s. air force master sergeant and
10:05 am
said she was raped three times while in the military. jerry was in the army and said she also was raped. they and as many as six other veterans say filner met them at san diego support groups for military sexual assault victims and made unwanted advances and verbal passes to groping. >> we're victims of military sexual assault and it appears to me he was targeting this organization and hitting on the women in this organization because they were easy prey. he's part of an organization that's against sexual assault and sexual va violence but he's doing the very thing that we're fighting to make stop in our service and in our country. >> do yo feel he was using his power to prey on the women of this organization? >> i do. i do. he didn't have our backs. he was looking at our back. >> he had our front. it's wrong.
10:06 am
why would you come here with us and do what you did? why? is it a turn on? >> reporter: the 70-year-old ten-term congressman served as chairman of the house veterans affairs committee. less than a year after being elected san diego's mayor he's checked himself into a two-week treatment program to deal with his behavior. his chief of staff would not talk to us. >> can you come back out? >> i'll do my best. >> after she slammed the door did she come back out? >> no. she did not come back out and speak to us. we did not get an on camera statement. we didn't get paper statement. we went to the office because this is a public servant. he's not responded to these particular accusations.
10:07 am
he hasn't responded. we also reached out to his attorney who also declined to respond. >> you can see more of this story on erin burnett out front. overseas now we're about to show you a very frightening piece of video. it's something that could really happen to anyone on a tour bus full of people smashed from behind by a speeding truck. video cameras recorded all of it. look. wow. all of it caught on tape. you saw the bus driver flying out the window and he is alive. another vantage point here. it happened a few days ago in eastern china. the bus was backing up on the highway when a truck barrelled right into it at high speed from behind.
10:08 am
then you see another vantage point of passengers trying to kick out the front windshield to get out. a lot of people on that bus were hurt. the driver of the truck that hit that bus was killed. it wasn't all laughter and jokes during president obama's appearance on late night television. he discussed the ongoing terror threat that prompted the u.s. to close 19 embassies this week. he was asked how significant the threat is. >> it's significant enough that we're taking every precaution. we had already done a lot to bolster embassy security around the world but especially in the middle east, north africa where the threats tend to be highest. when ever we see a threat stream that we think is specific enough that we can take some specific precautions within a certain time frame then we do so. >> russia was another hot topic
10:09 am
for the president on the tonight show. here is what he said about russia's stance on gay rights ahead of the winter olympics next year. >> i think putin and russia have a big stake in making the olympics work. i think they understand for most of the country's to participate we wouldn't tolerate gays and lesbians being treated differently. they are athletes. they are there to compete. if russia wants to uphold the olympic spirit then every judgment should be made on the track or in the swimming pool or on the balance beam and people's sexual orientation shouldn't have anything to do with it. >> more ahead on that. wolf blitzer will be joining me. airlines have stepped up screening for cargo on flights headed to the u.s. because of concerns about a possible
10:10 am
terrorist attack. an official says it's now being screened twice. the extra screening applies to car go on commercial flights from europe, middle east, africa and other areas. the head of a cargo industry trade group says the order came from the department of homeland security. the agency wouldn't comment on specific security measures. what would you do if you won the third largest jackpot in power ball history? it's about $425 million head of tonight's drawing. alison kosik has a few ideas for you. >> reporter: $425 million, oh how to spend that money. buy a few cars, several diamonds, maybe give money away to charity. lotto fever is kicking in again getting people to dream and dream big about the endless possibilities of what to do with all that money. lotto fever is creating a frenzy over the third highest jackpot
10:11 am
in powerball history, $425 million. if you're lucky enough to nab the cash pay out you can afford to pay it forward. you can send over 3,000 students to harvard law school or send almost 1,000 people to space. in fact, one jackpot winner donated $1.8 million of her $500 million jackpot to repair a local school's leaky roof. >> it's good news to hear we have someone willing to help us out. >> reporter: what about yourself? >> i'd sail around the world. >> i would buy maybe some stuffed animals. >> here it is. >> reporter: before you make it rain green, research shows that 70% of people who receive a large sum of money will lose it within a few years. >> you have all sorts of interesting pressure. you have friends that you never knew you had showing up for money. >> reporter: with more than half
10:12 am
of americans buying a lottery ticket this past year advice is needed. >> buy cds for the rest of your life. you have enough money that you don't have to do anything special. >> reporter: advice put to the test as millions away the big cc chaching. odds are 1 in 175 million that you'll hit the jackpot but it doesn't hurt to try. >> that's right. you have to play to win. survivors of the ft. hood ho shooting say they feel betrayed. >> the day that came out was the day the government looked at every single one of the victims of the ft. hood shooting and spit in our faces. plus, take a look at this. a car tumbles in a terrible
10:13 am
crash and the driver walks way from that but the police, now they can't find them. you take your kid out to eat. they act up a little. what if a cafe owner kickedout for your kid's bad behavior? staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning.

10:16 am
we're learning more about that hard landing of southwest flight at la guardia last month. this is the scene as the nose gear broke. ten people were injured. the captain took control of the plane during a criminal phase of the flight. the report did not reveal why the captain did that. also we learned this was the pilots second flight into la guardia. the captain's inexperience flying into the airport was probably not a factor in this accident. police in ohio are scratching their heads after a man walked away from major car crash caught on surveillance video. you're about to see it. it shows the car hitting a curb, doing a full flip, taking out a tree and a public telephone booth and crashing there landing
10:17 am
on the sidewalk bemnch. the driver got out. he attempts to hail a cab. >> this is a pretty busy bus stop and there's usually someone sitting right there on that bench. a good thing no one was there waiting for the bus. >> police say they want to talk to that person. he was driving a rental car at the time. the rocky relationship between the u.s. and russia hit another bump today. president obama formally cancelled talked with president putin in russia next month. it's part of the fall out from russia's decision to grant asylum to nsa leaker edward snowden. the president talked about russia's move on the tonight show. >> were you surprised that russia granted snowden asylum? >> i was disappointed.
10:18 am
we have tried to respect if there's a lawbreaker or alleged lawbreaker in their country we evaluate it and try to work with them. they didn't do that with us. in some ways it's reflective of some underlying challenges we've had with russia lately. >> wolf blitzer joining me live. i don't think anyone would be surprised about that. what might this say? this latest move say about the relationship, the ongoing relationship between the u.s. and russia overall? >> it would say there's a serious strain. the strain has been exacerbated by their decision to grant edward snowden one year of temporary asylum. let's see what happens during the course of the year.
10:19 am
it was already pretty significant on syria and iran. there's some other issues as well. there's been some good cooperation in the aftermath of the boston marathon bombing terrorist incident. there was good cooperation between the u.s. and russia. there's a serious strain. the president will still go to st. petersburg for the g-20 conference but he was supposed to go the day before to moscow for a one-on-one meeting with president putin. that's not going to happen. he's going to go to sweden where the relationship is a lot better. >> that's considered a giant snub. usually the president or leader of a host country would have that incredible photo op. the president talking about the nsa surveillance program that snowden revealed.
quote
10:20 am
he tries to reassure americans that big brother is not watching. take a listen. >> there is no spying on americans. we don't have a domestic spy program. we have mechanisms where we can track a phone number or e-mail address that we know is connected to some sort of terrorist threat. that information is useful. >> is the administration doing a good job of making its case that the surveillance programs are necessary for national security? perhaps even the latest closures of the embassies and the c consulat consulat consulates? >> they're not doing a good job explaining the necessity of these programs. there's a lot of americans who think it's an invasion of their
10:21 am
privacy. i think administration officials, white house officials will acknowledge that they could be doing a better job. the president trying last night to explain, to make the case this is not an invasion of american's privacy but a lot of americans see this massive collection of information phone you remembe number, e-mail accounts and they wonder if the government is checking in on them improperly. they are all involved. >> thanks so much. we'll see you later on in the situation room. i know this has never happened to you but nobody be kick out wolf. two moms were kicked out for loud and messy kids. it doesn't end there. the owner does something else that has people expressing outrage.
10:22 am
10:23 am
10:24 am
a cafe owner in washington state are taking heat for kicking out two mothers and their children.
10:25 am
one of the children was having a screaming fit. mcduff took a picture of the crumbs the group left under the table and posted it on facebook and it included a sarcastic comment. i'd like to take this time to thank our customers with small children who don't make messes. >> somebody threaten to drag me behind their truck. i've had threatening to picket my business. >> guess what. there's more to this story. turns out the moms that miss mcduff kicked out were military moms. she says she's sorry she posted the pictures but she adds the moms are welcome back, just not the children. oh, my goodness. this gets crazier and crazier. people were angry about that facebook picture and the sarcastic note, right?
10:26 am
>> it kind of hit the trifecta. you have parenting, businesses. don't run a business if you can't take what comes along with it. i hope you don't have children. i hope your bs closes your do s doors. >> cafe is called rainy cafe. they don't just want sunny customers. >> she herself is a military wife. on the flip side people were sayisay ing good for you. parents need to know it's not already for their parents to make messes and not pick up after them. >> okay. there's quite the food fight going on. a little bit from everyone being lobbed. i guess what's your advice then. how do you all get along here? >> i speak at a conference every
10:27 am
year talking to restaurant owners about how to use social media. don't call out your customers because for everybody you think is on your side, you're going to be alienating someone else. for parents teach your kid to be a good restaurant patron. play restaurant at home and teach them etiquette. you really want to make sure the place is kid friendly as well. you don't want to take them where they will be sitting stiffly and uncomfortable. call the restaurant and tell them you're coming. >> warning. i've got out of control children. i'll be there in ten minutes. >> they're looking to this as their future customers. a bit of communication can go a
10:28 am
long way. >> things don't -- they're not going to be perfect. the first few times they're going to be a bit of a scene or two or maybe a little drama. everyone needs to be a little patient. you can't teach the kids unless you take them out. >> everybody needs to take a deep breathe and remember it's a great meal out. >> hopefully we'll all have good experiences now and a lot of understanding all the way around. good to see you. we'll have more after this.

thanks so much. a jury is weighing the fate now of james whitey bulger. eight men and four women started deliberating yesterday in the case of the man accused of running the boston mob. an update, next.
10:36 am
10:37 am
10:38 am
prosecutors say james whitey bulger ran boston's irish mob with fear, extortion and murder for 20 years. the jury is discussing a verdict. deliberations began yesterday after a month of witness testimony. paul, whitey bulger did not take the stand in his own defense in no surprise there? >> reporter: i was a little
10:39 am
surprised. he was facing almost certain p life in pri death in prison. he will never get to tell his story. i thought he was twisted enough to take the stand, but he didn't. >> you describe him as twisted but there were moments out of ordinary, cursing at witnesses. there was some real moments of intimidation. how much might that impact a jury's perception? >> reporter: i think it will most definitely impact their perception of him and in a very negative way. this case, had this case been televised be whole country would have been mesmerized by what's going on. it's the last of the old irish mob. the witnesses hated him and they are yelling at each other. it was quite an exciting trial. i think that sort of behavior
10:40 am
will backfire with the jury and will hurt whitey bulger. >> federal cases not usually televised. this wasn't. that was in large part why. do you think this is case in which the rules should have been bent. people should have seen or learned from this trial? >> reporter: i feel very strongly. i try a lot of cases myself. i think we're so used to cameras that it doesn't affect the way the cases are tried. i think the public has a right to see the trials. the feds won't allow cameras in. i think they are wrong. you can walk into any public courthouse and watch it and all the camera is doing is making it easier for the rest of the country. i think this would have been a good lesson in how crime is prosecuted. he was on the run for so many years. 19 murders are part of the indictment in case, acts of
10:41 am
extortion. just a horrific list of charges. i think the public deserves to see this trial. >> thanks so much. good to see you. the arm psychiatrist charged in the ft. hood massacre is still on the military's payroll. why he's received more than $300,000 since the shooting. and when we're sitting in traffic, i worry i'll have an accident. be right back. so today, i'm finally going to talk to my doctor about overactive bladder symptoms.

10:45 am
news. >> i remember him shooting as fast as he could shoot. >> reporter: he fired more than 100 rounds from two pistols. hours later the president made this promise to the victims. >> as commander in chief there's no greater honor but no greater responsibility for me than to make sure that the extraordinary men and women in uniform are properly cared for. >> reporter: nearly four years later survivors say they feel cast aside. they still wonder how the u.s. government could label this workplace violence instead of combat related terrorism. that means they have lower priority access to medical care and fewer financial benefits than those who injuries are labeled combat related. army specialist logan was shot three times. he spoke to kxas. >> the day that came out was the
10:46 am
day the government looked at every single one of the victims of the ft. hood shooting and spit in our faces. >> reporter: sergeant shaun manning has lost tens of thousands of dollars in benefits. >> i was shot by a terrorist and they don't want to call it an act of terrorism. it's ridiculous. >> reporter: civilian police officer sergeant kimberly monun helped end the attack. honored for her bravery at the state of the union a couple of months later but now she says she feels betrayed by the president. >> if i were to see him again, it's not about me, but i would just beg him to please take care. >> reporter: why not classify the shooting at ft. hood as a terrorist attack? the department of defense says
10:47 am
hasan may not have received fair trial and could have opened the door for an appeal. an attorney representing 150 victims in a civil suit against the department of defense and the fbi disagrees. he says the u.s. was looking to close guantanamo bay. witnesses say he shotted god is great in arabic before opening fire and he said he acted to help defend the taliban. that, lawyers for the victims, say is proof of a terror attack. they also point to the fbi's disclosure that he had interpreted communications between hasan and u.s. born radicalist. he's denounced his citizenship is still on the military payroll

10:50 am
10:51 am
oh, yeah. we all like to reminisce from time to time about the way it used to be. that includes the weather. you think temperatures are warmer than a decade ago? guess what, you're right. chad myers is joining me now with more on this new study released by the national oceanic and atmosphere administration. every decade since 1970, it's been warmer than the decade before? how come? >> correct. and if you are younger than 36, you have never experienced a below normal year. >> huh? >> think about that. from 1976 to now, that's 2013, there has never been a below normal year on average across
10:52 am
the globe. every year has been above normal. you have to go all the way back here to what we call the mini ice age back in the '70s. >> younguns have no real reverence point. >> they have -- >> you mean we. >> think about 2012. we are now -- it's called the tenth warmest year. you think at least it's not the warmest year. it's getting better. no. we have to think about this decade by decade. the warmest year ever, 2010. 2005. 1998. from the fourth year, 2003. yes, we're way down here. but if you look at these numbers there's not, like, a 1940 or a 1960 in here for the hottest years on record. this is the hottest decade on record. it keeps going up from here. and this is the -- this is the real rub. the carbon dioxide numbers have been going up as well. and the big island had 400 parts per million back in may.
10:53 am
