11:01 am
and not a dry eye at this wedding. the bride paralyzed from the waist-down fulfills a promise she made to herself years ago, to walk down the aisle on her wedding day. wedding day. spk -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com here we go. top of the hour, and i'm brooke baldwin and i want to begin with what has been a deadly day for people in alabama. this u.p.s. cargo plane crashes this morning in birmingham. look at this. right now investigators are sifting through the scene. they are in there and collecting evidence from this crash that killed the pilot and co-pilot, and the only two people on board. a huge fireball lit up the skies just before dawn. it was an airbus a-300 that slammed into a street that runs parallel to the birmingham airport. witnesses said they heard a large boom when the crash happened, and then more explosions followed after that.
11:02 am
the flight had originated in louisville, kentucky, and david mattingly is on the ground for us there in birmingham, and david, can you set the scene for us, and tell me what you know at this hour. >> well, brooke, always the first two questions in a crash like this is, were there mechanical problems? weather problems that anybody noticed? officials say there was prec precipitation in the area, but nothing serious to bring down an aircraft like this. and residents living nearby, and i spoke to a man specifically who is with the civil airline patrol, and airline mechanic, and he told me that when the plane went over his head over the airport, it sounded to him like there was a backfire from the engine and followed by an engine roar suggesting that the pilot was giving full power for the engines in the last moments before the plane went down. we also heard from the residents saying they heard something like
11:03 am
an engine sputtering as the plane went over, but fortunately the plane did go down a half mile away from where those houses were, as it proceeded closer to the airport, it landed several hundred yards outside of the fencing of the actual airport here. what we are looking at this morning, the national transportation safety board has investigators on the ground. they are no doubt going right for the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder and looking at the wreckage and those devices are designed to survive crashes like this, so they should be able to retrieve those and get information quickly. we are expecting to hear from them in a couple of hours what the preliminary findings and observations might be here, and adding to the mystery is the mayor of birmingham, william bell, he told me earlier today that talking to the faa officials in the tower that the pilot e never radioed the tower here to indicate that he was in any sort of trouble. again, something adding to the mystery here, and we are hoping to get more details here from
11:04 am
the investigators. >> so here you are hearing from the eyewitnesses and the mayor and what about the u.p.s. statement, and their reaction? >> u.p.s. released a statement at 9:00 a.m. eastern time, and that was from the president of the u.p.s. airlines mitch nickels who said that this incident is unfortunate and our thoughts and prayers are with those involved. that was at 9:00 this morning and at the time they said they were not able to cop firm what happened no crew, even though the officials here on the ground said that both of them had perished. at the moment, we are waiting to find out what was on board that plane, and what was on the plane as cargo that u.p.s. was shipping down here to birmingham. possibly something that the investigators might also be interested in. >> as soon as you get more information on, that david mattingly, we will talk once again on cnn. thank you, very much. we appreciate you in birmingham, louisiana. >> and meanwhile, one hostage is dead and another in critical
11:05 am
condition after the police ended a 12-hour standoff with a gunman at a bank. he is identified as fuaed abdo auk med. this is what we are learning about the man, he was a paranoid schizophrenic according to police who was known to local law enforcement. they tell us that he had no intention of rob ing tbing the but during the standoff, ahmed said that he heard voices and he wanted a quote, device removed from his head. and blood is flowing again on the streets of cairo and egypt and the government backed by the military has imposed a state of emergency. the killing began after dawn today, just about 12 hours ago there in egypt as troops moved in to clear the two large camps
11:06 am
of peaceful demonstrators. at this hour in egypt as the sun is setting, the camps have been dismantl dismantledle, but the fighting rages on in cairo, and these are live pictures. few, few people in the streets. armored trucks, and three of them is what we are look atting at here sh, and the latest deat toll is 149 killed in cairo. i want you to watch this. this is cnn's reza sayah in the midst of the fighting this morning. >> reporter: you can hear it behind us that the gun fire has rarely stopped in what has been an awful day here in cairo. we have witnessed some awful scenes, and there are neighborhoods in this city that are simply unrecognizable at this hour, because they have been turned into war zones -- wow. that was -- that was -- >> you could hear the blast over reza's shoulder, and arwa damon is there in cairo, and arwa, at
11:07 am
least one journalist is among those killed today. my first question to you is one would think that the government's goal here in acting clearly so forcefully as to go ahead and quash the uprising, but you reported today, arwa, this is the beginning of a long and bloody battle. why do you say that? >> that's the sense that one gets quite simply, because throughout the course of the day, even after they initially cleared the areas we saw clashes growing and spreading and becoming more intense throughout the entire city and in fact, in other parts of the country as well. the security forces weren't just dealing with clearing demonstrators out of those two sit-in areas, but having to deal with the pro-morsi supporters who were trying to break through the ranks of the riot police and reinforced by the military and the military was called in quickly and eventually as well, multiple front lines opening
11:08 am
simultaneously in several areas, and we saw the pro-morsi demonstrators take over another sit-in area, a few miles away from the one in cairo univers y university. they have a field clinic set up there, and we were down there earlier in the day, and there was gun fire around us, and we had to at one point duck quickly for cover. just there in that one area, the medics were telling us that they dealt with around 800 injuries due to gunshot wounds. these pro-morsi demonstrators and the supporters of the muslim brotherhood, this is an existential battle and they are determined to keep continuing to go out there to keep finding new and different ways the regroup, so, yes, it seems that the government has cleared the two main sit-in areas, but it does not mean that the pro-morsi demonstrators are willing to give up and go home. >> and so everybody in the u.s. is watching is clear, we talk about the pro-morsi demonstrators and they are backers of mohamed morsi, and he
11:09 am
was sected on the 3rd of july and we had those pictures live on cnn. and arwa, how as we look at the pictures clearly fires in the city streets, how did the protesters pose such a threat to the military, that they resorted to the actions that you saw today? >> well, the interim government has a number of reasons. they would say that the sit-ins were and in fact, they were incredibly disruptive for the residents in the area, and they were blocking off significant thoroughfares in cairo causing a massive traffic jam more so than usual. the government was also accusing the demonstrators of having terrorists among the ranks and people that the government is accusing of carrying out acts of murder, torture and beatings. we spoke to some men who said they were captured by the demonstrators and beaten within an inch of their lives, and one
11:10 am
also needs the look back at what started all of this, and it was the massive unprecedented numbers of people taking to the streets back on june 30th to demand deposed president morsi standdown, and that the country hold early elections and now we have the situation that the nation is dealing with, and potentially divisive and potentially more violent. >> thank you, arwa damon. back here, hannah anderson is talking about her agonizing ordeal days after being dragged into the wilderness, and she talks about the captor uncle jim who snatched her after cheerleading practice in california. after you read it it says that freedom is mixed with grief. she didn't know until after the rescue that her captor james dimaggio had killed both her little brother and mother. 16-year-old hannah answered
11:11 am
hundreds of questions online, and casey wian has that story. >> 16-year-old hannah anderson is sharing details about her kidnapping on social media. she fielded questions on the site ask fm about the abduction by the man she knew as uncle jim, jim dimaggio. one asked, why didn't you run? he would have killed me. why didn't you tell the parents that he creeped you out? in part, he was my dad's best friend and i didn't want to ruin anything between them. hannah shed light on the night she was kidnap and the same night of the mother and the brother burned in dimaggio's house. how did he separate you from your mom and brother? he tie them up in the garage. how did he keep the fire a secret? he had it set so it would catch on fire at a certain time. and why didn't you flee? because he needed her to carry
11:12 am
the equipment into the woods. did he rape you? so blupt. i am not allowed to answer questions about that. i will not talk about it thank you. are you glad he's dead? yes. >> she is not thinking and sometimes in a numb state, you are not thinking of the consequence consequences. >> reporter: and then she posted a selfie typical of a teenaged gi girl. what design did you get on the nails? pink for my mom and blue for ethan. and she says that she spent some of tuesday helping to plan their funerals. >> casey wian there reporting. some of the posts are emotional and hard to read. she said she could go back in time to save her mother and brother. she wrote, quote, i will never
11:13 am
forgive myself for not trying harder to save them. i want to bring in the psychotherapist stacy hills, and when i read these different responses of the kidnapping to possible rape to the finger polish. it kind of causes you to catch your breath. what did you make of all of it? >> you know, i read the entire thing as well. she also talks about music that she likes to listen to, and a boy she likes and in a lot of ways she sounds like a normal teenager, and teenagers can escape into the computers and the social media and she needs to heal the trauma by doing that, and what is important here that a lot of people don't understand is that there is a ton of research that says when somebody has been through a traumatic experience, it is helpful to talk about the experience. she cannot look at people, and she doesn't have to have people see her cry, and she is quite
11:14 am
brilliant here. >> and she says i will not forgive myself for doing more to try to save them meaning her mom and brother. describe the process of forgiving herself? >> well, that is survivor guilt, and part of the stage of grief is the bargaining thing when you are thinking of the things that you could have done and should have done, and i don't know how long it will take her to heal from that. she is going to need counselling to begin to recognize that truly she was powerless at this, and powerless for so long, that she felt she would die herself, and there is nothing she could have done and she will need to take it on. >> and we wish her well. she is known as the fiery housewife that is known for flipping a table or two, but this housewife will be on her best behavior today, because teresa and joe guidice will be
11:15 am
in front of a judge. more on the real life drama coming up. i save time, money,st, and i avoid frustration. you'll find reviews on home repair to healthcare, written by people just like you. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. i tthan probablycare moreanyone else.and we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us.
11:17 am
diarrhea, gas, bloating? yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against these digestive issues with three strains of good bacteria. live the regular life. phillips'. lvo:remember to changew that oil is the it on schedule toy car. keep your car healthy. show your car a little love with an oil change starting at $19.95. trapped -- okay.
11:18 am
which are we going to, guys? ok okay. i'm just going to go with the jesse jackson, sr., is apparently talking about his son who has been sentenced. take a listen. okay. we are going to move on from that and talk about being trapped on board a burning submarine. okay. let e let's talk about this. former congressman jesse jackson, jr.. >> i speak really today as a fath father. most of my career has been spent out going to help someone else understanding something that i understood socially or politically, but this is of course home. now i have had to raise many question questions to myself about did i confuse success with sickness? jesse has been driven to
11:19 am
succeed, to be effective, and we have the water tank built out in fort heights, arguing for the airport or something like that. but not realizing that we begin to take the highs and the lows and bipolar is not a part of my lexicon, and as a matter of fact, until he got to the mayo, he did not even use that as an excuse for his behavior. he was remorseful. his record was a fact that in the sentencing and he is recovering. jesse has been very sick. this time a year ago i thought that we lost him. i think that he is strong enough now to accept the challenges put before him by the judge. but this is a painful journey for our family, and we will talk
11:20 am
about it more in days to come. but i think that oftentimes, we object objectify public figures and if he was bleeding, you could get a bandage. if you break a leg, you get a splint. but mental and emotional is less discernible, and you have these highs and lows. and unless you really take the time, and i would say lastly what occurred to me one day that when i got a call asking me to go see jesse. i had just talked to him and i said, he will be all right. whatever it is, i will talk to him. his mom went to see him, and she was in washington, and they walked in the park, and he began to cry. she said you must see him quick ly. so i did along with yousef, and flew down to washington, and i said, let's go to the hospital right now, and no surrender, and
11:21 am
there was no fight back. i knew there was something different. and we went and then on to arizona for more observation, and then he was detected bipo r bipolar. and what was most graphic to me is when i called one day saying that there is a great yearning at the parade where the youth really missed him. he said, did they really miss me? and then he cried and said, they let me down. the highs and the lows. and this is a distressful condition, and i hope to learn more about it, because we have met so many people on this journey on the plane, and downtown and my brother is bipolar and my mother is bipolar and what hit me in arizona and minnesota is that he was the only african-american person there, and what means is that they have no capacity to get
11:22 am
dyi diagnosis or treatment, but it is a potential to affect behavior -- >> so you were listening to reverend jesse jackson speaking about the reaction to his son being sentenced ed td to 10 ye fraud. and now we go the john kerry who is talking tab bloodshed on the streets of cairo, and we will listen to what the secretary of state had to say. >> today's events are deplorable and run counter to egyptian aspirations for peace, inclusion, and genuine democracy. egyptians inside and outside of the government need to take a step back. they need to calm the situation and avoid further loss of life. we also strongly oppose a return to the state of emergency law. we call on the government to respect basic human rights including freedom of peaceful assembly and due process under the law. we believe that the state of emergency should end as possible.
11:23 am
violence is simply not a solution in egypt or anywhere else. violence will not create a road map for egypt's future. violence only impedes the transition to an inclusive civilian government. a government chosen in free and fair elections that governs democratically con ssistent wit the goals of the egyptian revolution. violence and continued political polarization will only further tear the egyptian economy apart and prevent it from growing, providing the jobs and the future that the people of egypt want so badly. the united states strongly supports the egyptian people's hope for a prompt and sustainable transition to an inclusive tolerant civilian-led democracy. the deputy secretary of state byrnes together with the eu colleagues provided constructive ideas an left them on the table
11:24 am
in our talks in cairo last week. for my many phone calls with many egyptians i believe they know full well what a constructive process would look li like. the interim government and the military which together possess the preponderance of power in this confrontation have a unique responsibility to prevent further violence and to offer constructive options for an inclusive peaceful process across the political spectrum. this includes amending the constitution, and holding parliamentary and presidential elections which the interim government, itself, has called f for. all of the other parties, all of the opposition, and all of the civil society, all parties also share a responsibility to avoid violence and to participate in a productive path towards a political solution. there will not be a solution
11:25 am
through further polarization. there can only be a political solution by bringing people together with a political solution. so this is a pivotal moment for all egyptians. the path towards violence leads only to greater instability, economic di ssaster and sufferi. the only sustainable path for ooeither side is one towards a political solution. i am convinced from my conservations s -- conversation with a number of foreign agents and ministers that the path is open, and though it has been made much, much harder and much, much more complicated by the events of today. the promise of the 2011 revolution has never been fully realized and the final outcome of the revolution is not yet decided. it will be shaped in the hours ahead in the days ahead, and it will be shaped by the decisios s
11:26 am
which all of egypt's political leaders make now and in these days ahead. the world is closely watching egypt and is deeply concerned about the events that we have witnessed today. the united states remains at the ready to work with all of the parties and with our partners and with others around the world in order to help achieve a peaceful democratic way forward. now, jen will be happy to answer any questions. thanks. >> will there be any consequences -- you have been listening to the secretary of state john kerry talk about the moment that we have been witnessing the bloodshed in the streets of cairo and now beyond cairo in egypt, and as a result of the government bulldozers targeting the makeshift camps in cairo and the last count we had is 149 egyptians killed and secretary kerry was very clear, because the egyptian leadership has
11:27 am
imposed a military martial law and he strongly opposes that, and the united states supports a civilian-led democracy and the big news of all of this happening is what we witnessed in the end of june and july with all of the demonstrators ainngr and frustrated over the then-president morsi, the islamic fundamentalist who had peaceful protesters for morsi, and they have gone into the streets and the martial law has been imposed and secretary kerry not at all mincing words speaking about the need for a civilian-led democracy and violence is not the answer. next, alarming video from inside of a miami area jail. look at this. all at once, you will see every single door opens up, and some of them don't try to escape, but
11:28 am
11:31 am
. it is a shocking video that has launched an internal investigation. the footage from this florida jail shows that all of the cell doors slide open and there they go, the inmates with makeshift weapons creep into the hallway. you won't believe what then happened. cnn's sarah gannon picks up the story. >> reporter: on june 14th, a maximum security prison in miami and this dramatic footage caught on surveillance tape and obtained by the m"the miami her. a shirtless inmate being chased jumps over a railing on to the floor below, and that inmate is kenneth williams and the jump broke his ankle and vertebrae, and another inmate come ts to h rescue after he falls standing over him like a shield. just moments before he takes the leap, you can see all of the cell doors of the turner knight correctional center open at the same time. inmates walk out of their cells. it is not the first time that
11:32 am
there's been a security breach like this at the jail. there is a central system that corrections officers have to activate to release all cell doors, and it was also mysteriously pushed back in may. that time, there wasn't an incident, but this time, "the miami herald" reports that the corrections officers used pepper spray, and found at least two homemade knives and the incident and the question of who pushed that group release button is under review. >> sarah gannon, reporting. >> we reached out to the miami rehabilitation and correctional department. this is is part of the state. the incident is part of an ongoing internal investigation, and the incident may not be commented upon until the investigation ceases to be accurate and may not accurately relay the total ti of the events. that is from the correctionals department. and let me bring in a ri port for "the miami herald" who broke the story and joins me on the phone. david, in reading the piece, and
11:33 am
i know that there was a similar incident back in may, and what you describe as the group release button when all of the doors open, and sort of mysteriously activated. it seems suspect. tell me who has access to the button. >> well, obviously, the correction officers have access to the button, and now they had just mentioned from the beginning, that there was a malfunction with the panel, and that the lights went off on the panel. what they did after that is that they, the company that actually install installed the security system sort of had like a second prompt, sort of like you had to say, you know, you hit group release, and then another prompt comes up to say are you sure you want to do this group release. so that is why it is so mysterious, and the corrections told me when i first wrote about this that the company went through and ran a check, and there was no malfunction according to the company. then it was operator error is how they described it, but of course, the correction officers say, no, nobody pressed it.
11:34 am
so it is all mysterious, but of course, it only happened in this one particular wing, and so that is why it is all very mysterious, and they are certainly examining the possibility that, you know, k k corrections and somebody in that department played a role, because in the video, it appears that the inmates all seem to know what they are doing. >> right. they all seem to sort of come out at the same time. here is my fex -- next question, because as you roll the video back, coming out of the hallway, the guy in the orange shorts the railing and the balconyk because they are clearly after him. who is he? >> well, you know, kenneth williams is a reputed gang member, and he is a pretty apparently, you know, notorious person within law enforcement, and runs a gang out of a housing project up there, and so he is no saint, if you talk to the
11:35 am
cops, but it is certainly is, certainly is, made some enemies and apparently from some earlier altercations within the jail. >> what is happening to both him and to others who had these, you know, the makeshift knives? are they all being, how do you further discipline people who are already in jail, but what is happening to them? >> well, they are all in jail for serious allegations of very serious crimes. actually curiously, kenneth w l williams is the only one charged with possessing contraband, but they are investigating it. there is an internal affairs investigation, and the prosecutors have the video, and they are definitely reviewing it to see what happens. and meanwhile, they are waiting to see what happens with the charges, but it is a curious case. one of the most bizarre jail stories i have ever covered. >> it is bizarre and curious and david ovalle, we will keep in
11:36 am
touch with you to see what happens here and thank you for sharing this video with "the miami herald" to see it all unfold right before your very eyes. thank you, david. from tennis shoes to school supplies and kindergarten to high school, how much does it take to raise a child these days? a new study just released has the answer. we will talk about that next. with so much competition, finding the right job is never easy. but with the nation's largest alumni network, including those in key hiring positions, university of phoenix can help connect you to a world of opportunity. she's always been able it's just her way.day. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph,

11:39 am
does not include college, fols.s yes, i mean, i don't have a baby and a lot of my friends have to have baby and buy car seats and cribs, but this new study says it will cost middle-income family almost $250,000 to raise that baby until he or she reaches the ripe age of 17. alison kosik is on this for us, and you have several babies. >> i wouldn't say several, but two. >> two. and no longer babies, but still, that ain't cheap, alson? >> yes, and if you are a parent, you know this increase in the child care and education is what is driving the huge cost of raising kids these days and the numbers coming from the usda and the numbers have gone up 4% over the past year. and interestingly that child care was not a big factor over the last decade, but now more women are working and health care and clothing and those
11:40 am
costs jumped. health care nationwide has been rising costs over the past few decades, and so no surprise that affects children, too, and so, yes, drum roll, please, the total amount of money that you need to raise a kid born in 2012, 241,000, and that is up 8:00 from 2011, and the more the child costs, the more he costs, because he eats more and may need a drive and involved in extracurricular activities and tutoring and lessons and on and on and you hope that you get paid back in hugs and kisses. >> you act like you are speaking from experience perhaps. i'm listening and people don't have to buy the super fancy smancy diapers and things. are there tips? >> well, the usda says it costs more to raise a child in the northeast and the west coast, and turns out rural is cheaper, because of the housing expenses.
11:41 am
31% of the overall cost and you can move to the country and have a whole litter of kids or not. >> or not. we will see. alison, thank you. who knows. maybe i will have one. coming up here, we all remember the tragedy that struck newto newtown, connecticut, and that shooting put the gun laws in debate, and did you know that other towns have been experiencing gun violence? we will tell you why. getting the right nutrition during your busy day can be a challenge. take control of your nutrition with each delicious bar provides boost bars are perfect with a meal or as a nutritious snack. plus, they are available in chocolate and peanut butter chocolate flavors. a great-tasting way to get the nutrition you need.

11:45 am
that sparked a huge debate over gun control. and last night the mayor was praised for passing the strictest gun laws in his state, but now some are responding by arming themselves. poppy harlow has the story. >> reporter: she is a grandmother about to become a first-time gun owner. nancy ellis says that the new gun laws passed in connecticut are the tough nest the country are a big reason why she is buying her first firearm. >> our lives are being slowly infringed upon, and this whole idea of controlling guns has not, has come to my backdoor. in other words, there is a time when i may not be able to ever again get a firearm. >> reporter: she lived in newtown for 28 years and her desire to own a gun is part of the spike in the state. newtown vividly remembered for one of the worst gun massacres in u.s. history is on track this year to double the amount of
11:46 am
pistol permits issued last year. >> i'm concerned that it can get out of hand. nancy lanza had quite an arsenal in her hands. you only have two hands, and how many guns can you fire at once. >> reporter: this is the leader of a group trying to curb gun violence. >> there is a fear they won't be able to purchase certain guns. >> reporter: he owns multiple gun, but he did not want to show them out of respect to newtown victims. you went out and bought another gun after the sandy hook massacre? >> wit is my responsible to take care of my family. >> reporter: it is hard for shields to understand as he grieves the loss of his daughter lauren killed in sandy hook.
11:47 am
>> it hurts in a different way. i had my first dream that my daughter was in the dream about a week ago, and i said, lauren is dead, and how can she be there? she is dead. >> reporter: what do you think when you see the numbers? >> it is sad. it is really sad. there is no other words to say it, because it makes me sad to think that people will -- well, they feel that they are protecting themselves, but they are just adding to the problem. >> reporter: there was also a surge in gun sales in colorado following the aurora movie theater massacre and after the 2011 mass shooting in tucson, background checks for gun permits in arizona spiked. while nancy elis grieves for the victims of the tragedy in her own backyard. >> my heart grieves for them, it truly does. >> reporter: for her, this is about protect iing her rights. >> did the guns cause the tragedy? no. it is the person behind the gun that caused the tragedy. >> reporter: you know, brooke,
11:48 am
this is tough and important conversation that they are having in newtown. i can tell you this, it is not just happening in newtown, but across connecticut and happening nationwide. if you look at the past few years, the fbi data on the background checks for people who want the buy guns are showing that the numbers are going up, up, up. and what is interesting is that although the number of americans who own guns is actually going down, we are seeing more guns sold, and what that tells the experts is that more people have multiple gun, and that is what concerns some of the folks that i talked to in newtown is having more than one gun in a home. >> thank you, poppy harlow. a tragic car accident left a teenager paralyzed, but this one has a happy ending, because look at this. it was not enough to stop her from keeping a promise to herself that one day when she got married she would be walking down the aisle. you see what happened. we will talk to the happy couple on their honeymoon next.

for one bride, nothing was going to stop her from walking down the aisle. not even her paralysis. when she was in 17 she was in a car accident. she lost her best friend and all feeling from the waist down. back broken, spinal cord severed. the former softball player and gymnast spent years in rehab all the while with one promise to herself. she vowed that one day she would walk down the aisle on her wedding. and on saturday, she did just that. you are looking at her. stevie and her groom, jared van osdale live from their honeymoon in beautiful hawaii. congratulations to both of you. can i get a quick honeymoon highlight so far, please? >> yeah. we spent the day just driving around the island in a convertible. we forgot to put sunscreen on. so we're both toasted pretty good. >> me more than her. >> spf, you two. i'm so happy. i truly am happy for you.
11:53 am
stevie, do me a favor. take me back to this weekend. what was that moment like when you walked down the aisle? >> it was -- it was pretty incredible. i mostly tried not to really let myself think about it or get too emotional because i would have never made it to the end of the aisle. but it was -- it was almost like the whole accident was coming full circle. and i was defeating everything that, you know, doctors and people told me would never happen. just keeping a promise to myself more than anything was amazing. >> you looked absolutely gorgeous, by the way. and i understand that this guy sitting next to you played a pretty big role in helping you, you know, sort of regain just this confidence, this ability to do this. jared, how did you two meet? >> well, a mutual friend, became a mutual friend eventually. a good friend of mine, terry
11:54 am
mullenger. her daughter was injured in a pretty serious train accident about 3 1/2 years ago. i just kind of did everything i could to make sure that i was there for her to make sure that, you know, she had what she needed. and through her and through that accident, stevie and i sort of crossed paths because of terry. she kind of made it a point to make sure that we met and exchanged phone numbers, because she kind of thought from day one that her and i would be good together. apparently, we were. >> so because of someone's tragedy, you two met and fell in love. congratulations, really, again to both of you. stevie, i understand you're helping talk to a lot of people who have gone through similar accidents as you have. what's next for you? masters program, i hear? >> yeah. i will be attending the university of toledo in the fall to get my masters in counseling. and i hope to become a counselor of teenagers who've been through tragic events in their life,

egypt erupts today. peaceful protests turn deadly. government bulldozers target two makeshift camps. and now leaders declare a month long state of emergency. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. he is accused of sexually harassing more than a dozen women. and now cnn has obtained the san diego mayor's city credit card statements. guess what? taxpayers footing the bill for various expenses, including hundreds of dollars for a hotel room. a 15-year-old needing a new heart to live. but doctors say they won't give him one. >> they've given him a death sentence. >> now a dramatic decision by the hospital. and the man behind this tweet that increased apple's stock value by more than $12 billion.
12:02 pm
and here we go. hour two. we begin, of course, with egypt. you may have seen it here live on this show just a short time ago. we heard from secretary of state john kerry condemning today's killings in egypt. the latest death toll is 149. that is 149 dead, plus more than 1,400 wounded. the killing erupted at dawn as egyptian security forces moved in to clear these two camps of peaceful protesters. both of those camps are empty now. as we look at a live picture here as night has fallen, egypt is under a state of emergency for one month starting today. secretary kerry says the whole thing is deplorable. >> violence is simply not a solution in egypt or anywhere else. violence will not create a road map for egypt's future.
12:03 pm
violence only impedes the transition to an inclusive civilian government. >> arwa damon, cnn senior international correspondent live for us in cairo. arwa, i know those have cleared. tell me what's happening in other parts of cairo, and has it calmed down significantly where you are? >> reporter: it seems to have for the time being. especially when compared to the widespread and intense clashes we saw taking place earlier in the day. but, you know, brooke, despite the fact that those two areas were cleared out, we have seen these pro-morsi demonstrators taking over another area that's a few miles away from the sit-in that was taking place at cairo university. we were down there earlier in the day. a few hundred of them were there. there was a fair amount of gunfire in the area. and then at one point, actually, it got a bit too close. we ended up having to duck for cover. eyewitnesses there saying that for about six hours, security
12:04 pm
forces there, saying fired at them. that they were unprovoked. that no one there was armed. we returned later on after the gunfire had subsided. spoke to medics. they had set up something of a makeshift field clinic wrus as they had at the two other sit-in areas. they were all saying that they're going to keep going. the government, security forces might clear them out of one area but that they were going to continue. perhaps not in the same large numbers that we had been seeing up until now. but they're still out there. they're not going home, brooke. >> arwa damon for us in cairo. we heard from as we mentioned secretary of state john kerry discussing specifically this violence, calling it deplorable, calling it not at all the answer for those in egypt. i want to bring in jill dougherty. she's at the state department. jill, secretary kerry not mincing words. >> yes. and that may be the problem, brooke. he's not mincing words. he's using many of the same words they've used before. granted, it's a little bit more intense. deeply concerned, condemn the
12:05 pm
violence by both sides. oppose state of emergency, he said. violence will only lead to economic disaster. but he didn't go any further in saying will there be any consequences for the military and the government for taking these steps. let's listen to exactly what he said. >> today's events are deplorable. and they run counter to egyptian aspirations for peace, inclusion and genuine democracy. egyptians inside and outside of the government need to take a step back. they need to calm the situation and avoid further loss of life. we also strongly oppose a return to a state of emergency law. and we call on the government to respect basic human rights, including freedom of peaceful assembly and due process under the law. and we believe that the state of emergency should end as soon as
12:06 pm
possible. >> all right. so one of the things that the u.s. could do, of course, would be to end that aid. $1.5 billion to the egyptian military. but there was no statement of that. in fact, right after the secretary left, we were briefed about what is ongoing right now. we asked about the review of aid. is there any. apparently the review is ongoing but no determination about that. they also said, brooke, we can't force this situation. obviously the u.s. still standing by looking at this with horror, but not clear exactly what the u.s. at this point can really to about it. >> still condemning, but no major change. jill dougherty, i hear you loud and clear. jill dougherty for us at the state department. appreciate you. in st. joseph, louisiana, one hostage is dead, another in critical condition after police ended a 12-hour standoff with a gunman at a bank. this gawnmunman, take a look at. he was shot and killed by police
12:07 pm
as they stormed in. but not before this man shot his two hostages, killing one of them. police say ahmed was mentally ill. >> he was mad at people. he was mad at people that were -- he said were mean to him. that he had voices in his head. of course, one of the demands was he wanted to have this device that was implanted in his head removed. >> the gunman originally took three hostages, but let one of them go. now to just an awful scene, deadly scene in birmingham, alabama. the ntsb just released these photos of a ups cargo plane that crashed there this morning, killing both the pilot and the co-pilot. there were the only two people on board. a plane, an airbus a-300 slammed into a street that runs parallel to the birmingham airport. right now investigate tofrs still on the scene collecting evidence from the crash. david mattingly is there for us
12:08 pm
in birmingham, david, the first obvious question is, you know, what do we know about what might have caused this and what was the ntsb saying? >> reporter: the ntsb so far is not talking about any sort of preliminary findings. they've only been on the ground here a couple of hours. i have to tell you, brooke, we have a dramatically different viewpoint of this crash site than we had for you an hour ago. you can see it behind me just over my shoulder. right where this aircraft hit the effort on a hillside right outside of the birmingham airport. we've been hearing all along about how this aircraft went down about a half mile away from a subdivision. that is accurate based on what we see here. but that's not telling the whole story. about a block away from here, there are pine trees that have the tops ripped out of them. just splintered like a tornado came through here. there are power lines that have been brought down. so this plane missed hitting houses by a matter of feet. as it was coming down to its
12:09 pm
final impact spot, what you see behind me. right now everybody speculating about what kind of causes there could be. a lot of people here on the ground, officials, ruling out the possibility of weather. they say there was some precipitation in the area at the time, but nothing that they would think would be a problem for air travel. people are talking a lot about possible mechanical problems with the plane. people hearing the plane fly over before dawn. i spoke to one man who lives nearby here. he works for the civil air patrol. used to be an aircraft mechanic. he said it sounded like the engine was backfiring as it flew over his house. immediately after that, he heard the engines race as if the pilot was trying to give every bit of power to those engines to gain altitude. again, we're all just speculating here. no one knows exactly what they heard. but we've heard from other rez tents who talked about it sounded like the engines were possibly out of gas or sputtering as it came over. some very interesting and unusual things being reported by
12:10 pm
the people here. we're waiting to get more details from the professional investigators, the ntsb. >> so as they are working the investigation, i have to ask, this was a ups plane. i imagine full of cargo. do we know what was on board? is everything gone? >> you can count on that being one of the top three questions from the ntsb. what was on board this aircraft? we have not heard from ups publicly about what this plane was carrying. if there was anything on board that might have contributed to the explosions that people heard when this plane made impact or if there was anything on board or something that happened on board that might have contributed to the crash in the first place. nothing at this point, informationwise, to go along those lines of questioning. but you can bet that is one of the top three questions the ntsb will be asking as they look at this. what was on board? what were the conditions? and what did the pilot know and when and how did he act as it
12:11 pm
was coming down? >> david mattingly, thank you. now to the latest chapter here in san diego. the embattled mayor, bob filner, a recall petition against him is expected to begin collecting signatures next week. filner has thus far refused calls to step down. his city issued credit card is now under scrutiny for charges including a $30,000 trip to paris. $3,000 to an image consultant. a hotel tab of more than 500 bucks. and a $128 juicer. cnn's kyung lah took a good long look at those expenses. >> unfortunately we have a mayor who is out of touch with reality. >> reporter: out of touch in every way says san diego city councilman kevin faulkner who's now demanding answers about this. cnn obtained filner's city credit card statements from january to may, all paid by taxpayers. what are these do you think? >> when you see statements like this, it raises the question of is city business being done or
12:12 pm
not? we need to get to the bottom of this. he doesn't think rums apply to him. >> reporter: expenses investigators are very interested in? over five months, $511 spent at the westgate hotel. at least one charge was on a sunday. the mayor's office is over here at the city administration building. the westgate hotel, right across the street just steps away. the regulars at the bar tell us that the mayor was often here and usually with a different woman every time. why that matters? the ut san diego reports the mayor's security detail told investigators filner took women to the westgate. faulconer, a republican, is also looking into a junket filner took to paris that appears to have little to do with san diego. faulconer says it cost taxpayers $30,000. other credit card charges that raised red flags? $3,000 to an online reputation
12:13 pm
management firm. oddly, $128 for a juicer. >> you can turn ordinary food into super food. >> reporter: we tried again to talk to filner's chief of staff, league birdic. she still doesn't have anything to say to us. she spoke at a luncheon meeting. when asked if the mayor can still lead, she replied. >> i don't know if you know this, but the mayor has not resigned yet. consequently i've drawn the conclusion that, where he, he does believe that he has the way to achieve the objectives set out in his vision. >> kyung lah reporting. some local businesses are boycotting the mayor. hooters which is known for female wait staff posted a sign saying filner is no longer welcome there. coming up next, we're going to take you live to los angeles where debbie rowe, michael jackson's ex-wife just took a break from testifying in court. back on the stand in just about an hour from now. we're live in l.a., next.

to los angeles we fwo where michael jackson's ex-wife is on the stand today in the singer's wrongful death trial. rarely seen or really heard from in public, here she is. deb by rowe. called to testify today by concert promoter aeg which is blamed on jackson's death because i hired the doctor who treated jackson's insomnia with the answesthesia propofol. ted rowlands is outside the courthouse. why did aeg live call debbie rowe? what were they hoping for in her testimony? >> reporter: well, they want her to establish their narrative. that is that michael jackson was abusing drugs for decades. but nobody knew about it except for very inner, inner, inner circle. his family at no tididn't know. aeg didn't know. we didn't know what to expect from debbie rowe because she was thought of as maybe almost a combative witness. she didn't want to be here. but 45 minutes in, boy, oh, boy.
12:18 pm
she is delivering a lot of information about michael jackson and his drug use. we had to just break for lunch. she talked about first establishing a relationship with jackson. then went through after the pepsi incident. remember when he burned his hair in that accident during a pepsi commercial. she said after that, that's when the pain meds started in. and she said there were competing doctors going after each other, trying to basically impress michael jackson with how they could control pain. she said that his tolerance was so low and his fear of pain was so high that these doctors would compete and they were like vultures. she at one point said these idiots were going back and forth competing with each other. she broke down in tears a few times. we've gotten to the point just before he went on tour in europe. this is what aeg wants to come out. we'll get it back after the lunch break. they want her to talk about how he was using propofol to rest during this concert tour.
12:19 pm
again, establishing that he was a drug addict for decades. but only a few people knew about it. >> okay. ted rowlands -- there goes the car alarm. i will ask you a second question. i was waiting for that. nice job, by the way. quickly, just because we really rarely see her, we know she has this relationship with paris jackson, how did she seem? how did she appear? >> reporter: she appeared very confident. sitting down in the chair and taking all the questions. telling a few jokes. and then she broke down in tears, like, immediately talking about these doctors and the way that they were prescribing drugs to michael. i'll tell you, she was all over the place. but very compelling. i'm sure this jury is going to be remembering everything she says. because they were locked in. she was very compelling. we'll get more after the lunch break in about 90 minutes. >> ted rowlands, thank you very much. coming up, unbelievable video from this jail in miami. maximum security here. all the cell doors, watch this.
12:20 pm
they all, poof, open at once. out come the inmates. wait until you see what happens next. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger. ♪ the middle of this special moment and i need to run off to the bathroom. ♪ i'm fed up with always having to put my bladder's needs ahead of my daughter. ♪ so today, i'm finally talking to my doctor about overactive bladder symptoms. [ female announcer ] know that gotta go feeling? ask your doctor about prescription toviaz.
12:21 pm

12:23 pm
it is the shocking video that's now launched this internal investigation. this surveillance camera footage we're showing you here from this maximum security jail in florida shows the moment. you see the cell doors open. the inmates armed with makeshift weapons creep out into the hallway here and wait until you see what happens next. sarah gannon picks up the story. >> reporter: june 14th, a maximum security prison in miami. this dramatic footage captured on surveillance tape and obtained by the miami herald. a shirtless inmate being chased jumps over a railing on to the floor below. that inmate is kenneth williams. the jump broke his ankle and vertebrae. another inmate seems to come to his rescue after he falls, standing over him like a shield. just moments before he takes the leap, you can see all of the cell doors of the turner gullford knight correctional center open at the same time. inmates walk out of their cells.
12:24 pm
it's not the first time there's been a security breach like this at the jail. there's a central system that corrections officers have to activate to release all cell doors, and it was also mysteriously pushed back in may. that time there wasn't an incident. but this time the miami herald reports corrections officers used pepper spray. they also found at least two homemade knives. the incident and the question of who pushed that group release button is under review. >> so i saw the video. had a couple of questions about this. i talked to the miami herald reporter who broke this story and asked him about this mystery surrounding the sudden opening of all the inmate cell doors and why this particular inmate was targeted. watch. >> the corrections officers have access. they insisted from the beginning there was some sort of malfunction with the panel and that the lights went off on the panel. the company went through and ran a check. and there was no malfunction
12:25 pm
according to the company. that it was operator error was how they described it. but, of course, the corrections officers there say, no, nobody pressed it. >> you see this one guy in the orange shorts, he's the one who hops the railing. hops the balcony. clearly they're after him. who is he? >> well, you know, kenneth williams is a reputed gang member. he's a pretty, apparently, you know, notorious person within law enforcement. supposedly runs a gang at a housing project up there. he's no saint if you talk to the cops. but it certainly is -- it certainly is, you know -- >> david ovalle from the miami herald, thank you. cnn reached out to the department of corrections. they say they won't be commenting on the incident while an internal investigation is under way.

this is the reason why. take advantage of adt's back to school savings. starting at $49 installed. adt. always there. offer ends soon. now to this dramatic reversal at a hospital in atlanta. now make a 15-year-old boy a top priority for a heart transplant he so clearly definitely needs. doctors had given anthony stokes just six months to live but denied him a spot on the transplant list. and that caused a lot of outrage. only then did the hospital reverse course. cnn's senior medical correspondent is here with this. first just backing up, why was he denied a spot on the list in the first place? >> he was denied a spot in the first place because in the letter they wrote to him, they said that he had been noncompliant. it's not entirely clear what
12:30 pm
that means. doctors get very worried. they don't want to give you a heart if they think you're not going to take care of it afterwards. if you don't take care of the heart you're given, take the medicines you need to take, go to the doctor's appointments that heart could actually kill you. and you wasted it. it now can't go to someone else. it appears for some reason they feared he had been noncompliant or that he was going to be noncompliant. not entirely clear why they thought that. >> what are the chances of him getting a heart? >> he's now on the waiting list. he's given the highest priority now. his family says they've been told about three or four months that he should be getting a heart. what's interesting about this is that he was told no. he was told no, you can't have one. his family thinks it's because he was in juvenile detention for a short period of time because he got into a fight. he says he was defending his younger brother. and he also has bad grades. his family says that's why they didn't want to give it to him. they thought he was sort of a
12:31 pm
bad kid. and they were told no. but when the media went crazy with this and it was all over the place, the hospital said, okay, we've changed our mind. we're going to put him on the list. >> i'm just curious. i just have to ask. we've reported so heavily on the girl in pennsylvania. right? that was a huge ordeal. she ended up getting the lung, the pair of lungs. the fact that the media is getting involved, to you think that in that case that helped his case? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, it certainly seems that way. because nothing else changed, right? we have the letter. the letter says, no, we are not putting you on the list for a heart at this time. >> here he is on the priority list. >> here he is on the priority list. a similar thing happened. there was a young girl who had autism was denied a new heart. all of the a sudden the media attention, they gave her a heart. i think families figured out no doesn't necessarily mean no. they could go to the media. i think some doctors would take issue with this and say, gee, why should the media play a role
12:32 pm
here? >> that this isn't fair. >> that this isn't fair. others say these doctors wield an enormous amount of power. there aren't strict rule. doctors make them up in some ways. it's an objective decision about who they want to give an organ to. some people would say isn't it greathe family has a way to fight back? it really depends on your perspective. private bradleyanning scheduled to testify pretty shortly at his court-martial for leaking government secrets. he has been convicted, faces up to 90 years in prison. this is tha nextphase. the sentencing phase we're watching here. earlier today a psychologist told the court that manning struggled in the military with issues of gender identity. and the pentagon released this photograph of manning that he had purportedly sent a superior. cnn's barbara starr is live for us now at the pentagon. what is the significance, barbara, of this photograph? why is that an issue here in the sentencing phase of this
12:33 pm
court-martial? >> we are waiting to hear from bradley manning and some of his family members. this issue here at hand is just how troubled was this young man as he served in the military and struggled with gender identity issues? and did it play a role in his actions? apparently this is part of an e-mail and a photo that he sent to his sergeant talking about his, quote, problem. saying that he'd been haunted for some time. and this picture emerging that can, perhaps, best be described as cross dressing. so the defense is making the case that manning was a troubled young man with these gender issues and that the army failed to identify it, realize it, cope with it, do anything about it. he became obviously a man who then moved to the next step in his behavior issues. and made the decision to download some three quarters of
12:34 pm
a million pages of documents and give them -- classified documents and give them to the anti-secrecy site wickileaks. the defense saying it was part of the army's problem they did not recognize it and didn't deal with it. the prosecution, of course, has a very different view. brooke? >> again, we are awaiting for bradley manning to testify. we know you're watching closely. barbara starr, thank you very much. coming up, the one and only anchor man. ron burgundy has a tell-all book coming up. everything you ever wanted to know about staying classy. back after this. vo: getting your car serviced at meineke, smart.

paparazzi is like. >> large, aggressive men swarm us, causing a mob scene, yelling, jockeys for position, crowding around the kids while running over other parents and children unfortunate enough to be nearby. my 17-month-old baby is terrified and cries. my 4-year-old says, why do these men never smile? why do they never go away? why are they always with us? then there are violent, mentally ill stalkers who can now get close to my kids by simply following mobs of photographers and blending in. like the very man who threatened to cut the babies out of my belly and who was arrested waiting behind our daughter's preschool, standing among the throng of paparazzi. i love my kids. they're beautiful and sweet and innocent. and i don't want a gang of shouting, arguing, law breaking photographers who camp out everywhere we are all day, every day, to continue traumatizing my kids. thank you for the opportunity to testify today.
12:49 pm
sorry. i'd be happy to answer any questions. >> jennifer garner, also actress halle berry. there she was sitting to jennifer's right. both of them testifying in favor of this new bill to punish paparazzi who hound stars' kids. frank griffin is a veteran celebrity photographer. owns a paparazzi agency. joins me from los angeles. with me in studio 7 defense attorney mike gotlieb. frank, let me be clear. one paparazzo is not the same as another. clearly the big business is take the shot and get a lot of money. why do you do it? >> where did you get the impression there was a lot of money involved? did you see a check. >> i have never received a cash. >> the average cost of a picture in one of the magazines, i have a bunch of them here in front of me, is about $2 to $20. okay? let's get that straight. what's the next question. >> the next question is, reports, though, of let's give
12:50 pm
examples of famous couples' babies and they're paid, you know, i've read something -- tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. sdploots i've heard stories myself of coffers being paid where there's a setup. most famously angelina jolie, when she did a setup with the twins. there was a figure of $5 million, but that's specifically when the parents give up the children, or as we in the trade say, they sell the kids to the magazines, paying a substantial amount of money to the first rights. >> frank, let me come back to you for a second. we're talking about possible legislation. what would this bill entail? >> well, you know, i'm not certain there's a need for this bill. there are already other bills out there that protect. they're just not being utilized by law enforcement in california. i think that hearing jennifer's
12:51 pm
story, it's obviously horrific. nobody wants that to to happen to everybody's children. i think there's a balancing between the media's right to publish and the stars' children's right. that's what the balances is all about. if they had not subjected their children to the public eye, then the paparazzi should really not be following the children, jumping out of bushes, scaring them. i think it's whether or not the children have become celebrities themselves. if they haven't, their privacy rights should be protected. >> do you agree with that action frank? >> there's a couple points he made that i do agree with. i don't think under any circumstances children should be scared or frightened. i have in front of me a pile of this week's tabloid magazines. not one single image of a scared child. most of the celebrities are holding their children and posing with them. so there is a kind of double standard. there are those celebrities that choose not to put their children in the limelight.
12:52 pm
i'm thinking, for example of andie mcdowell. you don't even know what her daughters look like. she chose not to expos them to the limelight. they are able to protect those children where necessary. that doesn't excuse bad behavior or the behavior of a certain number of those photographers that may cause distress or may interrupt their passage. >> let me play you another sound bite. i hear you loud and clear, but this is what halle berry said about her 5-year-old daughter in a car being chased by 10 to 20 paparazzi, and she, you know, talks about some of the inappropriate questions that are thrown at them, and her daughter's response. take a listen. >> she doesn't want go to go preschool, into you this 25 gang of grown men are allowed to be so close to her they can shout obscenities to me, ask her questions that are inappropriate for a 5-year-old to have to
12:53 pm
answer. >> do you think, frank, that that is an anomaly and not the norm for people who work in your profession? >> yes, i think it's one-sided, from the point of view that you're only listening to one angle there. i can't see anyone in their right mind imposing improper questions of a child. i know that halle berry tried to move to france to be with her french husband, and is using this as a kind of aid or crutch to give her the ability to take her child, despite the parent of her child trying to combat it. there was quite famously the fight between the now husband and the father of her child, which was made very public and was almost done in public with i think -- walking around with black eyes. that kind of thing makes -- it becomes newsworthy, and it
12:54 pm
didn't happen in -- it happened in hollywood, where people are certainly ready to take photographs on virtually every street corner. i feel for her, and i don't want the child to be upset, and we have strictures that magazines will not accept it. >> frank griffin and mike gottlieb. thank you very much. it's a bill. who knows if it will pass muster. now a dose of reality. we're talking about teresa giudice's best known for her table-flipping antics. remember this? [ screaming ] [ bleep ]. new pictures for you this afternoon. pictures of teresa and joe giudice heading into federal court in new jersey. this is just from last hour. they entered pleas of not guilty to 39 charges in a six-minute court appearance. the feds allege the couple conspired to force tax returns
