ambitions, she's able to reach a key voting block. hillary clinton has always had one campaign. >> we're going to be about the business of making sure that those ceilings crack for every girl and every women here and around the globe. >> reporter: and today, her embrace of women's rights still keeps her on the national stage. >> we have to stand firmly for women's rights. >> reporter: but hillary clinton and the sisterhood have history. she came of age as the women's movement was gaining full steam. remember this from 1992? >> i suppose i could have stayed home and baked cookies and made tea, but what i decided to do is fulfill my profession. >> thank you. >> reporter: on her campaign trail with her husband, hilly's brand was not often that. in beijing. >> women's rights are human rights once and for all.
3:50 am
>> reporter: her push for girl power stirred a global movement. but not her 2008 campaign. one of reasons she failed to attract young women in large numbers. >> hillary clinton did not emphasize that she was a woman running for president. >> reporter: anne kornblut's book "notes from a cracked ceiling" notes the bid for the white house. >> she shied away from that subject. there was polling dates that suggests that she needs to emphasize her credentials. >> reporter: as secretary of state, clinton could do both, standing up for the rights of chinese and helping in india. what i want to do is bring to public awareness. >> the springboard for all of this is deep inside of her- >> reporter: today, the mission and the mantra remain the same. >> the great infinished business of the 21st century is helping women and girls break through these ceilings. >> reporter: the question is
3:51 am
whether this is about her unfinished business. is she continuing the work of a lifetime? >> hillary! >> reporter: or using this time to build a base for 2016. a confident for 25 years suggests it works either way. >> politics is how you get stuff done. it's definitely how you get things done. and beyond that, politics is a way to get things done, but it isn't to be dworgsed from what you are about. >> now, women are not a monolithic force and there remains plenty of stiff opposition to hillary clinton for a variety of factors. some don't like her views on abortion. others say she doesn't represent their view of family values. electing a female president would be historic. but now clinton must prove to her fellow women that she is the woman to make history. >> elise labbot, thank you.

i can never forget that day. eventually, i was the first girl in my community to go to college. i returned to my village to start a school for girls so they, too, can achieve their full potential. when we started the school, when girls come to school they're very shy. over time you see the confidence. they are very well. the most exciting thing is about empowering the girls. these girls know to being cut, they're dreaming of becoming lawyers, teachers, doctors. fathers are saying, my daughter can do better than my son. i came back so girls in my community don't have to negotiate like i did to achieve their dreams. that's why i wake up every morning. when you have diabetes like i do,

3:58 am
formerly the sears tower. and it's taller, freedom tower, because of a thing that is constructed right on the top. and it's the same way with donald trump. they also measure him from that thing on the top of that his head. that's how you get the height. the hair joke never gets old, i guess. we have a couple of must-see moments now. we've seen our fair share of victory dances over the year, right? but this one norwegian hockey player beats them all. >> yeah. oh. he's got the moves. all right. so check out 22-year-old adrian elverstein. he's getting down on the ice after a big win.

4:01 am
>> good morning, everyone. i'm zoraida sambolin. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to have you here. 7:00 here at cnn headquarters. this is "new day saturday." one of the top universities in the country is facing a major health scare. and now thousands of students at princeton university could get an in which vaccine, even though it is not yet approved for use here in the united states. that's to stop a rare and dangerous strain of meningitis from spreading there. it's always struck six students and a visitor to the new jersey campus as well. cnn's alexandra steele joins us from princeton. alexandra, tell us hour about this emergency vaccine they're talking about, how soon might students be able to get it? >> reporter: well, zoraida, princeton university trustees are meeting and have to decide whether or not to make that vaccine available to students. that has to be made before the vaccine can be administered. it's designed against meningitis "b." that's a rare form, much less
4:02 am
common than the "c" strain which is more typically found on college campuses. princeton university officials are meeting this weekend to discuss possible vaccinations on campus. it's an effort to combat meningitis "b" which can pose life threatening illness. the first case developed when a student returned from spring break in march. after additional cases were record, an outbreak of the disease was declared in may. a total of six students and one visit tore princeton are linked to the outbreak. the latest case was diagnosed last week. that student is still hospitalized this morning. >> i remember it was pretty incident. she went from feeling almost fine, next minute, 103 fever. >> reporter: but that meningitis is rare, and a strain with this outbreak is very rare in the united states. it's not included in currently available vaccines. the bacteria can cause infections of the lining of the
4:03 am
brain and spinal cord. symptoms include headache, fever, rashes and stiff neck. those affected should be treated right away. and those who recover could face serious complications like hearing loss and brain complications. >> must treat is quickly. you have to be aware of the symptoms because the quicker you put someone on antibiotics the more likely they are to recover. >> reporter: the cdc has the only vaccine as an experimental drug called baxsero, available not yet in the united states. if they offer the vaccine it will be available on a voluntary basis, something students will likely consider. >> i think a lot of people are concerned for the fact it didn't go away over the summer after everybody left. >> so, again, victor, zoraida, if the trustees decide to green-light the use of the
4:04 am
vaccine it would be made available to up to 8,000 students on princeton's campus. >> at that point, you have to make a decision whether or not you want to be vaccinated with something not approved in the united states. alexandra steele, thank you very much. it's not been a good week for toronto mayor rob ford. >> nope. and doctors in canada are no longer allowed to give heroin to addicts going through withdrawal. boy, it's just been a bad week for the mayor of toronto, hasn't it? >> it has been a very bad week for mayor ford. in an effort to push toronto mayor rob ford out of office, the city council friday voted to strip him of key powers, including his ability to govern during an emergency and appoint committee chairs. >> for the funny men of late night, ford's refusal to step down has provided plenty to laugh about. >> up in the city of toronto, canada, this is the time of year they put up the giant crack
4:05 am
pipe. >> it's announced. he's going to start hosting a tv show with his brother in canada. that brings up a lot of questions such as where can i get canadian tv? i've got to see this. that's a good show. i want to see the show. [ applause ] he said he doesn't really know if he'll be a good tv host but he's willing to take a crack at it. >> got off to a bad start had to fire one of elves for smoking crack. >> he seems to keep walking into it. the pressure is, of course, mounting for him to step aside or at least take a break. not everyone is calling for his resignation, his wife is one of those who is standing by his side. >> i think my husband said it already. please respect our privacy. >> what do you think about what
4:06 am
happened today? why did he say that? >> we want some privacy for a family. thank you. >> thank you. >> do you support that? >> no. >> do you think he should take a leave of absence? >> that's why we have elections. >> do you think he should be taking personal time? do you think he should take a little bit of personal time? >> no. >> you hear very clearly, the wife saying he should not step down or take leave. other accusations against the mayor include prostitutes and abuse of power. >> his brother on the other hand said he should take a break. the drama does not stop there. this week, ford came under fire when he made a lewd remark on live television. he later apologized, he said he's been under tremendous amounts of stress. >> that erratic behavior has
4:07 am
many people asking whether ford is fit to lead. ford set the accusations against him are outright lies and simply not true. or correspondent nic robertson joins us live from toronto. where are we now in this drama? >> continued on friday, you know, the only two people that didn't vote to strip powers from the mayor inside the city hall here were him and his brother councilman doug ford. that was the only placen 0 the council floor chamber that we actually heard the mayor speaking, had was very tiek tight-lipped but what he said, in defense of power us being taken from him. he began to question them. he threatened he would take legal action. and ultimately, he said this would cost the taxpayers money. incredibly having said that, he also went on to say, well if i was in your shoes, talking to the council members and the mayor did this to me, then i would be taking the same action
4:08 am
as you. all very contradictory, but it amounted at the end of the day to him losing powers. the there will be more votes wednesday. >> i know you spoke to the mayor's brother who is also a member of the council. early on, he said his brother should stay and he's fine. and taking care of that problem. has he changed his mind on that? >> publicly, no, he hasn't. what's interesting, the legacy for the family, because they had a lot of respect for their father who was a politician, with what his brother is doing in office and the statements that he makes is going to be damaging to the family legacy, >> i think our legacy is going to be pretty solid based on how rob forms. you're going to look at a family that doesn't need to be doing this. that has actually sacrificed massive amounts of time, money,
4:09 am
their business, to serve the people. >> do you worry about his health with all this additional stress? not just the public, not just the counselors? >> yeah, i'm confident that the people that actually know us understand what they've done for our community. the priority, obviously, is health. health comes first over anything. you don't have your health, you have nothing. so we're confident that rob's going to move forward. and only time will tell. if i sit here and tell you 100% robbed for ed foford's going to i can't tell you that. >> i think that's the key here. even his brother knows that he's got problems. admits that he has problems. that the mayor has problems. and isn't even sure whether or not he'll be able to stay on track. and keep going. that was very tellinging moment, zoraida, victor. >> all right. nic robertson in toronto live

4:16 am
secretary of health and human services, they've been calling it for her to be fired. we're now starting to hear about some talk about that. here is the problem with that, if president obama were, say, to fire kathleen sebelius, he would have to replace her with someone who would then have to go through senate confirmation. right now, the white house is in trouble, especially on capitol hill, and trying to get someone new confirmed would be difficult for them. erin mcpike in washington, thank you. msnbc has yanked alec baldwin and his late-night talk show off the air. that has happened for two weeks. why the actor shouted a gay slur at a photographer. he did apologize. >> here's what he said, what i said and did this week as i was trying to protect my family was offensive. this undermines hard-fought rights that i vigorously support. >> baldwin overheated thursday outside of his apartment. he was struggling to get his wife and baby into his mercedes.

4:32 am
unusual form of this disease, right? >> it is victor, yes. usually, when you see this kind of meningitis on a campus, it's meningitis "c." so this is very, very unusual. and of course, meningitis "b" is not in the vaccine that we currently use. that's why they have to go abroad to get a vaccine that has been used in europe and australia. >> so do we know why this thing is unusual? it has not affected the faculty at princeton. it seems it's only the college students that are becoming infected, do we know why? >> we don't, and isn't that curious, zoraida. and you know, this also a disease that occasionally occurs more frequently just in the state of oregon in the united states. and we've never understood that either. so, why this is occurring is not clear. but the trick that everybody's working on now, the cdc, the new jersey department of health, the folks at princeton, is how to stop it.
4:33 am
how to prevent further cases. >> so, there's this possibility they could bring in this vaccine that's only been approved abroad. what's the protocol for this? i mean, if you have something that you need to cure, you need to stop, but you don't really have anything legal to stop it? >> actually, we have a mechanism so that can be done legally. but it's very elaborate. you have to bring it in, you have to educate everybody about this vaccine. and then they have so sign disclaimers or forms that let everyone know that they've understood it. and only volunteers, of course, will receive the vaccine. so it's done under very careful supervision and follow-up. >> dr. shaffner, that seems like an experiment, does it not? with parents that have kids at the school, is there concern? >> i think actually not. this is going to be done in a very rigorous way.
4:34 am
if i were a parent i'd be interested in getting the information and generally accepting. i were around that table with the board of trustees, i'd been gently encouraging them to do this. >> i guess the alternative is you can die from meningitis, so i suppose -- >> some people will choose to take it. dr. william shaffner, thank you for clearing up the questions. and actually another one, oregon. >> and why we don't understand. a lot of those students will be heading home for thanksgiving break because thanksgiving is just days away. i mean, it may be 14 days, but days away. and it already feels like the dead of winter in some parts of the country. >> it sure does, this is what it looked like outside of portland friday. >> let's go to washington. >> a winter wonderland. >> you're calling it a wonderland. they're probably calling it something else. is snow, slush here in

5:30 am
fabrege-styled egg that was given to mrs. ford as a gift. president obama admits his team fumbled the rollout of his health care. if you like your plan, you can keep it. if you like your doctor, you can keep them. now he is talking about people who have had policies canceled. >> state insurance commissioners must go along with this. several has said no. insurance companies must agree to uncancel the plans and then extend them for another year. the president met with insurance industry executives on friday to persuade them to go along. his capitulation was headed off by congress for now. >> there will be ups and downs during the course of my presidency and i think i said early on when i was running, i am not a perfect man and i will not be a perfect president.
5:31 am
>> let's talk to a pair of cnn commentators. in l.a., rahan salan. good to have you with us. >> thank you for having us. >> i want to talk about the "wow" number. 52% of the quinnipiac poll who said that the president is not credible. how much damage has this created for the president? he has a lot on his schedule for the rest of the term. how much damage has happened, paul? >> when trust is broken, it takes a long time to repair. we know it in your family lives and business lives. the problem here, it seems to me, was that he made the promise in the first place. right? as an old white house speech
5:32 am
writer, you could say 95% of us will have no risk of losing our policies, but 5% of the policies are not worth the paper they are written on. they are called health insurance, and you pay to it, but many don't cover doctor visits. those folks, we will give them the same or better for less. i know the president is a brilliant speaker and writer. he ought not to have said that. he needs to deliver on health care that benefits the middle class. once this thing is operating, it will do that. >> he has quite a bit of time left in office. one of the things we have been hearing about recently is immigration reform is a fight that potentially will not happen. he will not be able to accomplish that. will this be that moment of truth for him where moving forward not much can be accomplished? >> well, i think that this is a huge undertaking and to deal
5:33 am
with the various problems that will keep arising over the next couple of years, will take the president's full attention. i want to say one thing about what paul said a moment ago. paul is right that the promise was prom mat particular. when you compare this health reform effort under bill clinton, one of the things that made this a success, people believed there would not be a disruption. whereas under president clinton, he said people will have to pay more. the fact that president clinton was more straight forward with people and that made this a bigger political lift. that was part of what people resented or are frustrated by. the idea of the politics of the reform legislation would not have worked had president obama not made the promise he could not keep. >> he said he did not know.
5:34 am
>> the president himself comes forward and said i thought you would be able to keep this insurance. that is why i made the promise. >> that is not what the reporting tell us. >> paul, for the president to say he would not have come out in the days and weeks ahead of the launch and said you will be able to keep this, that would have been something that would have been foolish to do. i think it is surprising the president did not know it would be effected in these ways. >> in his defense, he was told there would be a grandfather clause in there. there is. we are not talking about a large percentage of the american people here. he ought not have made that promise. the way out of this is to look at the entirety. he promised people like me, who have been paying our bills and living under the rules and have health insurance, that we wou would no longer be excluded from a pre-existing condition. he kept that promise. he said my 21-year-old son, i

can keep him on my insurance policy until he is 26 and he will probably still be at william & mary. he made a dozen of promises all of which he is keeping. he apologized for that. for the 95% of this, this is a huge win. >> there are a lot of americans that, you know, have issues with the way this has unfolded. politicians are calling for some heads to roll. if he did do that, if there was that one person, although he has taken the mea culpa, does he need to fire somebody to move beyond that? that one person responsible for not making this right? >> i don't think he really can fire anyone. let's say he tried to fire kathleen sebelius who has been the health and human services since the start of the administration. who will he be able to confirm? who else wants to take on this job? this fix he announced. the trouble with it is state
5:36 am
insurance commissioners have been working under the premise this law is going forward three years. now they have 35 days for some new fix to uncancel insurance? who wants to take kathleen sebelius' job? there are other people involved. this is a moving train and trying to move pieces around and get someone else to come in at this point is very, very difficult. >> all right. raihan and paul, both cnn political commentators. thank you for your insight. >> thank you. and still to come on "new day" is comedian andy kauffman still alive? we will get down to the bottom of all of it next. and san francisco becomes gotham city and that 5-year-old kid gets to save the day.

6:01 am
and we read a new one on friday. >> reporter: this is a new chapter. the mayor and brother are the only to vote against the council to strip the powers from him. i sat down with his brother, doug, and i asked him if this is humiliating for the mayor. >> imagine if you took the ceo out. it would not work. >> reporter: isn't it humiliating for your brother to be put in that situation? >> this whole issue is humili e humiliati humiliating. he will be remembered by doing a great job. he will be remembered if he fails to move in the right direction. he will be remembered as a comeback kid. >> reporter: his brother here is not entirely convinced that the mayor can carry on with the job. he has privately said his brother should step aside and take some time back. he is the only one that is

6:03 am
comments, he actually said to the council members, if i was in your shoes, i would do the same thing. strip powers from the mayor. this is politically unprecedented. perhaps other politicians can step in and arrest power away from other people as they say they just don't like. victor and zoraida. >> this is bizarre. we know there is a television show that the brothers will participate in. what do we expect to happen next here? >> reporter: well, that show will air on monday. it is an hour-long recorded tv show. it will be coming out the same day we see more powers stripped away from the mayor. more powers given to the deputy mayor. money taken away from him and staff taken away from him. another day of hue mimiliatihum. they have done entertainment radio shows before. this is a new venture for them.

6:05 am
is approved overseas. the cdc will try to make it available if it is brought in, to the students on campus. there have been several cases of meningitis "b" on campus. for you consulting your dictionaries, it includes meningitis "c" which is more commonly found on college campuses. >> we are finding surprising here which this dates back to march and we are just learning about this now. do you have any idea why? >> reporter: this is something the university has been putting out there. we are told that this student came back in march from spring break and was diagnosed with meningitis "b" and the cases were starting to build. the university has taken steps to educate the community. they launched campaigns and
6:06 am
educating students for how it is transmitted. they put out a number of cups on campus of how it is transmitted. we are learning now there are seven cases that the university is taking some additional steps. including looking at importing the vaccines to stem this from spreading any farther. >> so seven cases. is there a link? do we know there is some common denominator for all of the people who have this strain? >> reporter: as these cases have materialized, health officials have been looking into it right now. new jersey health officials have not find any specific common link. again, this is the kind of disease or infection which is common when people live in close quarters. it can be easily transmitted through a number of ways in which we interact on a regular basis. it makes sense these cases are centralized around campus. we have not been pointed

nothing they could do, but watch it go. >> it's bizarre. it hurts. it hurts, obviously. it's your home. >> reporter: dupree's home and one next door were marked for demolition. too unstable for anyone to go inside. firefighters would walk over to the duprees handing them a few small items. books. an american flag. as more of the house was pulled down, a few more memories were recovered. >> pictures. that's the most important. >> reporter: there is tragic irony in what happened here. mike and his wife work at a homeless shelter in clearwater. now the duprees find themselves homeless. they are getting support. >> i'm amazed. it blows me away. we have been talking about it all night last night. we have never expected how the
6:09 am
community is. >> reporter: authorities evacuated other homes around the duprees, at least until they are sure the hole is not expanding. sinkholes are a frequent problem in florida. some with deadly consequences. earlier this year, a young man swallowed up and killed while he slept. near orlando, no deaths, but an entire section of a resort collapsing in a hole. people escaping with just the clothes on their backs. now the state has begun a three-year study to identify areas that are most prone to sinkholes, but for the people here in the dunedin neighborhood, it is too late. zoraida and victor. >> thank you, john zarrella reporting for us. there was a lot of tinkering going on with obama care this week. we will explain. he may be the most adorable mountaineer.

6:22 am
you know, the whole trip was put on hold. then i was in northern india in august. basically on the dump site recounting a moment with a dog sanctuary. in this moment, you know, this little ball of fluff and bones came running toward me. you must realize, dogs in india are afraid of people. especially in this region. the fact he came to me, i took it as a sign that maybe oscar had saved him and go and honor this expedition in his honor and continue the cause. to promote dog adoption and compassion to homelessness around the world. >> can you tell us about the trek? was it difficult? >> of course it was difficult. in fact, don't ask us to do it again. as you can see, he is still sleeping. it was amazing.
