condition this hour with stab wounds after being attacked in his home. >> state police say another person was found dead in his home. want to go to cnn political director mark press fonton for the details. what do we know so far? >> we know in fact, virginia state police where is called to craig deeds home early this morning. they found the state senator seriously injured from the assault. they found another person deceased in the home. cray deeds was transported to charlottesville to a hospital. to tell you where he lives is in a very rural part of virginia, the far western part of virginia. cray deeds the democratic nominee for governor in 2009. when he lost, he remained as a state senator. i spoke to someone very close to the family, pretty shaken up by this right now. described creigh deeds as one of the individuals very good for politics, very humble and nice man, a very gentle man but a man right now as michael said is having some big difficulties

right now in the hospital. we should know more details though, suzanne and michael within the next few moments. state police will be holding a news conference to give us more details. >> very popular figuring in virginia. thank you so much. we want to get back to you as soon as we learn more details about that. really tragic, very popular guy. >> yeah. all right, moving on now, caroline kennedy, the daughter of the late president john f. kennedy receiving some rock star welcome in japan. a not unusual sort of things either when you talk about it. she's there in her new role as u.s. ambassador. >> president kennedy had plans to travel there. he would have been the first u.s. president to visit japan but his ambitions cut short when he was assassinated. now 50 years later, caroline kennedy is in tokyo fulfilling the legacy and picking up where they are father left off. >> on her first day, you can see there, she was treated to the hero's welcome, a carriage carrying her through the streets of tokyo to meet the emperor.

cnn's cune la was there as it happened. >> clutching cameras, and waving, thousands of japanese lined the streets to watch a daughter fulfill her father's joe surgeon she's completing the mission he couldn't fulfill this woman says. this significant here. jfk was to be the first u.s. president to visit japan but he was assassinated. 50 years later nearly to the day of his death, his only surviving child made her way through the streets of tokyo by horse drawn carriage to the emperor. she passed by many in this crowd who watched her first images 50 years ago. news coverage of the assassination, images of the two young ken dil children seared into the collective japanese memory. >> translator: caroline is like my friend. to me, she is special.

this is the sort of enthusiasm usually reserved for pop stars or the japanese royal family. do you remember anyone ever getting this excited about a u.s. ambassador here in japan? >> heck no, way the watanabes and ask anyone about job qualifications, caroline kennedy doesn't have a lot of diplomatic experience. that doesn't matter she says, she can do the job. this is a country after all where blood lines trump all. ym american nancy nichols says this child of camelot is royalty here. >> making a full circle and closening the bonds that we have, and i think it's great. >> after a brief ceremony with emper akihito, ambassador kennedy returned to her carriage to begin her path in u.s.-japan history. young law, cnn, tokyo. >> a lot of fondness as you can

imagine. caroline kennedy did consider a run for senate, but it seems she's following in the diplomatic footsteps of her grandfather, ambassador to britain. >> she was a fixture on the obama campaign. i had a chance to interview her. it was really a turning point for the president because they did not go with the clintons, they went with the obamas at the time. they thought yes, this means eventually she will have a job somewhere in the administration. that was the speculation. many, many baby boomers say they remember where they were the day that president kennedy was assassinated in dallas. it's going to be 50 years ago on friday. >> yes, but they may not remember the exact spot where jp fk was shot especially now that it's been paved over. dallas street workers are got rid of those painted white xs that have marked the spot on dealey plaza road for so many years. nobody knows who originally painted them. >> when we asked the city, what happened to the xs, they said workers poured over asphalt to level the streets for friday's

remembrance day. recently dallas' mayor says the city wants friday's ceremony to focus on kennedy's life, not the murder. >> we'll turn our attention now to the middle east. al qaeda affiliates have apparently struck with some precision in lebanon, deadly attack. blood and bodies strewn on the streets of beirut after a double suicide bombing >> at least 23 people were killed, 146 others injured in those blasts. the back-to-back explosions happened in the front of the iranian embassy. this was in an upscale southern section of the city. the scene outside the embassy you can see it there, just a devastating there, almost like a war zone. massive flames, pillars of smoke billowing into the sky. i want to the bring in nick paton walsh in beirut. explain to us here, what was this is about in this is about those fighting a war not only in lebanon but also in syria. >> well, certainly, suzanne. let me explain the scene behind

me. i'm standing a few meters away from the gates of the embassy where the bombs detonated. you can see security measures are still in place. when there was light here, you could see also the facade the nearby buildings torn off by the sheer force of the blast. the lebanese army saying there were two suicide bombers, one on a motorcycle, one in a jeep detonating devices not far apart from each other. among the dead, we now understand from multiple media reports, the attache to that embassy and a claim of responsibility from a group known as the abdullah saddam brigade. not particularly prominent, accused of firing missiles into israel from lebanon. they're clear they were targeting this embassy in a bid to get account political and militant group hezbollah fighting alongside the syrian regime to get them to pull out of the syrian area. this is another sign of the

spillover of violence inside syria falling into lebanon and the possibility of that dragging this country into the wider conflict. suzanne? >> and nick, what about the impact of hezbollah on the battlefield? how much help have they been to bashar al assad, not just on the battlefield i suppose but in terms of cutting off supply roots for the rebels from lebanonen into syria? >> reporter: differing reports as to how widespread their involvement has been in the campaign. let's quite clear they took a leading role in taking a vital borderity to the north of lebanon, the border there. they were pretty helpful earlier in the year in the move to the retaking that. it had been heavily fought over between the regime and rebels over a substantial period of time. there are reports of activity across syria all around the country in different parts of the frontline. sorry, you can see there's still motion behind me. still very much an active clean-up site. the key issue has been its impact inside lebanon.

there's been a lot of criticism from the leave niece about hezbollah's decision to be so openly involved. they will stay alongside the syrian regime right till the end. part of the background to this blast and the claim of responsibilities direct statement they want to southeast him pull his forces out of syria and amplifying the impact that's had inside lebanon. >> nick paton walsh on the spot. it's very worrying. only a couple months ago, there was another bombing too when hezbollah went into syria, the rebels said if you don't get out, we'll attack you at home, which means lebanon. the big fear that fans the flames of the sectarian in many lebanon. >> into absolutely. the white house is focusing on the region and unrelated development involving iran, president obama today making a personal push for congress to delay any sanctions against the iranian government. the president has been meeting today with a bipartisan group of senate leaders and updating them

on the international negotiations that have been taking place, trying to curb tehran's nuclear program. the president wants lawmakers to simply give diplomacy another chance. >> we're going to take a closer look at the diplomatic effort and the u.s. position later this hour. we'll have a discussion about that. meanwhile, it's a royal mission for prince harry. it would be, any mission would be royal. he's not known to shy away from a challenge. but this next one would test his strength. >> he looks really cold. the race to the south pole coming up. plus, the latest from the tornado disaster zone. how families are returning to their homes, only to find nothing remains the same. >> good lord above was with me. all i can say is i got three angels up there. i got my father, my grandparents, my grandma and grandpa looking down on me. they're my guardian angels today. they said you've got to stay here and take care of your family. farmer: hello, i'm an idaho potato farmer.

seemed like we were close although it was hard to believe, it seemed like there was a lot of optimism the last go round that the p5-plus-1 were going to come up with an agreement here. it seems like france was the one that said it's not going to happen. now it seems israel not even involved in the talk might it be the block here. >> there was essentially an agreement between the u.s. and the iran ran side but the other states had some changes, none as many as the french had. that's going to get overcome i think. there's a high likelihood there will be a deal this coming thursday and friday. the question is what happens after that deal. >> when you talk about israel, let's talk about that a little bit. the u.s. and israel very, very close allies. and israel's taking none of this. they don't see anything positive in this so far. how does that impact the u.s.-israel relationship? there are those in israel who say their government is playing too strong of a hand and it

could backfire. >> the fact that israel has a an disagreement is the not going to change the u.s.'s relationship with israel. the fact that the prime minister of israel is so vocal and an so aggressively publicly against a deal is certainly making things much more difficult for president obama. i'm sure is not particularly appreciated. the bottom line though is, i think this is a very good deal for israel. this make sure that the iranians cannot move towards a nuclear weapon without getting caught at a very, very early staining. >> what do we think about the likelihood that will iran will cooperate here? i mean, with the potential of taking away some of those sanctions, loosening the sanctions, they have cooperated with the international atomic energy agency so far. do we think they are honest brokers? >> i think to get the iranians to collaborate so far, the discipline has been quite strong on the iranian side. i think the challenge is going to come after this first deal because after the first deal, there's going to be a second phase in which there's going to

hunting show in the u.s. coming under fire now for a recent hunting trip in south africa. melissa bachman posted a picture of herself on facebook with a lion she had killed on a reserve just outside of johannesburg. >>ing that photo went viral. animal lovers were outraged and a petition began asking the south out african government to ban her from the country. check out her show, it's called "winchester deadly passion." you get to see her big game hunting all over the world. she uses a bow a lot of times as well as guns. some of the pictures she has posted from the hunt show the a wide variety of animals. >> so robyn curnow joins us from johannesburg. explain this for us. what is the controversy over this? her show is hunting. she is supposed to be hunting

animals. is that right? >> absolutely, it appears so. this seems to be mostly being played out on social media, a lot of indignation by people here in south africa and, of course, over there in the united states saying that it's disgusting, that she's killed this lion. other people threatening to shoot her saying that god will make her pay. but i think if you're a little bit more pragmatic and a lot of conservativists i've spoken to, a lot of people who work in the conservation industry say say take a deep breath here. don't get overly emotional. hunting is not banned in south africa. you can have a license. she went through the process of hunting for a lion in the way that most people hunt for lions and other animals, other wild animals here in south africa. this is an industry that brings in millions of dollars not only to tourism but to conservation efforts, as well.

this has become very emotional on media, but here in south africa, those who is work on the ground say let's be more pragmatic here. >> a lot of people would look at photographs of animals like that and shake their heads. there are a lot of people involved in hunting. what about the place she hunted at? this was a reserve that was set aside for hunting as i understand it. was that lion part of any endangered grouping? >> >> reporter: no, i think you know, this is the thing about south africa. africa generally, hunting is very much part of life and has been for decades and hundreds of years. of course, the question is, is the hunting regulated? is it done responsibly? and are these animals not threatened with extinction? under these circumstances, the answer is yes, yes, and no. i think michele bachman while many feel that she perhaps was bragging by this, that melissa

bachman was bragging, that perhaps it was inappropriate, the fact remains that these reserves are set aside for hunting. they're professional hunters that often accompany hunters from the united states. big game hunter who's pay a lot of money to these reserves. sometimes these reserves even have lions for hunting. to there's those kind of examples. there there is this sort of balance. are they threatened, are they endangered in they're not under their endangered spies list in terms of being critically endangered. of course, lions and many african animals are under threat specifically because their habitats with being encroached upon, there's so much urbanization, that they can't roam. that's where the threat comes from they're telling me. >> robin kernow in johannesburg.

>> the word selfie has been declared the worded of year by the oxford dictionary. >> look at that will. >> they're ourselfies. i've got long arms. a photograph taken of once self and uploaded to a social media website. that's me saying why did they want me to take a self-ie. the use of the word has gone up 17,000% since last year. and thanks to miley cyrus, you look great. >> that was the runner-up. >> and guess what, the first recognized usage of selfie was in australia back in 2002. >> you should know being the aussie. >> "cnn newsroom" starts right now. thanks for watching around the world". right now, george zimmerman is only minutes away from being arraigned. he's charged with felony aggravated assault for allegedly pointing a gun at his girlfriend we'll have live coverage of the
