hello, everyone. you are in the "cnn newsroom." i'm randi kaye, in for don lemon. big development in the case of the father accused of murder after his 22-month-old son died in a hot car. but first, breaking news here on cnn. breaking news now. president obama is planning to nominate a new veterans affairs secretary tomorrow, bob mcdonald, the former ceo of procter & gamble. mcdonald served as a captain in the u.s. army for five years, after graduating from west point in the top 2% of his clasp white house official tells cnn, mcdonald's 33-year tenure at procter & gamble prepares him well for leading a huge agency which provides services for more than 8 million veterans a year. obama's previous chief shinseki rescienced last month on a scandal. if mcdonald's nominations a proved, he would face a huge

list of problems to solve inside the v.a. department. i want to bring in correspondent erin mcpike at the white house. tell us why the president chose mcdonald for this position. >> reporter: well, randi, if you remember, back from when eric shinseki resigned, people were talking about whether or not they had a short list, and there was no short list they were talking about rhode island senator jack reid, others but there was no short list because the white house was looking for someone who had both management experience, with a business as well as veteran. bob mcdonald, the former ceo of procter & gamble, they've gotten both, he graduated from west point in 1975. he was in the army then for five years, received a medal for his service during that time. then he started at p&g in his 20s. i'm from cincinnati, i know at p&g they hire very young and want people to move through the rangers, and he worked there for 33 years, as you mentioned, tlt at the top and rose to become the ceo.

again, bob mcdonald, a veteran, and a ceo, randi. >> erin mcpike, thank you for the update from there. conflicting reports from iraq where the government is claiming success in efforts to retake the critical city of tikrit. state-run tv says iraqi forces pushed isis fighters out of tikrit, hometown of saddam hussein. but a resident who spoke to cnn by phone says there's no iraqi government troops inside the city. troops are nearby. the government released this video of a military convoy cleansing the road between tikrit and sue mara. a cargo plane arrived carrying five russian fighter jets. iraq and russia have cut a deal for delivery of 25 warplanes. let's get insight from cnn military analyst and retired lieutenant colonel rick francona. what does this say about iraq's

military, they're still unable to retake tikrit, or are they? getting conflicting reported. >> this is a real key issue. the iraqi army committed to go back and take tikrit. this is a test of the iraqi army. are they capable of dislodging isis? if not, the iraqi army's in much, much worse shape than thought. they're going up there with tanks, artillery, air sport, the full range of military weaponry to dislodge irregulars from the city. so if they can't do this, we've got real problems ahead of us. >> isis today declaring itself an islamic state, announcing creation of a caliphate that runs from syria into iraq. how significant is that? >> i think this telegraphing their intentions. they're not going to be happy with just iraq and syria. they want the whole area. the translation of the name iraq and includes greater syria,

lebanon, syria, parts of jordan, israel, palestinian territories, it's a much bigger area. and they're making it known that they intend to set up a caliphate over this entire area. now seeing other groups jump into this. i read where people in gaza are saying, yes, we'll be part of the islamic state. >> what iraq's deal to buy fighter jets from russia. will this help them, do you think, turning the tide against isis? >> sure, it will fill in a gap in their military. they don't have a close air support capability, that's what the american if-16 was going to provide but not scheduled to arrive until fall. what the russians have done is bring in these 25s, an older plane, at plane the iraqis had in their inventory. they've got people that know how to use them, fly them. >> they still do? >> i imagine the iraqi air force was not as designated as the

army wuas. the russian did a good job in getting things down there quickly. they delivered them in two days. according to the commander of the iraqi air force, flying in two to three days. that's a real success story on the part of the russian air force. >> they turned to russia, a lot of talk about the u.s. starting air strike there's. i mean, does that take pressure off the u.s. to get involved, giving that these planes are now with the iraqis? >> we've always wanted iraqis to take the lead on this. this gives them the tools to do that. i think this will be better for us in the long run because as the president said, the iraqis have to do this. they've got to stand up and do this on their own. this gives them the tools to do that. control of the airspace is going to be interesting, you've got iraqis up there, us, and syrians want to play and the iranians are wearing their dronesen it's going to take battle space management. >> good way of putting it. nice to see you. >> death of a toddler in a hot

car was met by shock, sympathy, and now horror. people were shocked by revelation about the internet searches of the father. well now searches by the mother are leading to the same questions. nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers. conveniently stay up to date on progress.

instructed the family not to speak to the immediate yap those who have spoken off camera say a man with the moral fiber of harris would never be cape ofbl killing his own son, left seven hours in the sun, cooper harris died. what is unknown is what could have motivated harris, as police say, to kill his only child. outside the university church of christ, friends and family grieve as they wait to find out if baby cooper's death was a terrible accident or something more sinister. and in the search warrants released this morning, it was not said when leanna harris actually made that search for child deaths in cars. she stood in front of the church, near capacity, 400 people in the crowd, and defended her husband. they hope that the truth will come out and defend them. >> thank you very much. a tragic story. in new orleans, gunfire in the french quarter early today left nine people wounded. one is in critical condition,

another underwent surgery. the other victims are in stable condition with nonlife threatening injuriesen shooting occurred 2:45 a.m. on bourbon street. police do not yet have a suspect or motive. possible tornado threats could develop later tonight in the nation's midsection. flash floods are the problem in fem memphis, tennessee. some stranded in a trailer park flooded. police are warning people to stay off roads until the rain subsides. alexandra steele has much more. >> randi, national weather service calling what you saw there in pictures earlier today a flash flood emergency. those were the images and these are the numbers, just since yesterday, 10.3 inches of rain in little dixie. arkansas, howell, 9.6. areas around memphis a month's worth of rain in seven hour as

why don't you hand that to your brother? >> our words can have a huge impact. isn't it time we told her she's pretty brilliant, too? encourage her love -- >> the ad by verizon and it's one of three recent ads that seem to be all about empowering women. but do they really do that? what's really in it for the companies? here to talk about that, an ad expert and founder and ceo of demandworks.com. i found that ad, i don't know about you, as a woman i found that disturbing. i mean, is verizon trying to sell phones with this. >> indirectly verizon is trying to sell phone but was they're raising the bigger issue of what happens to -- when half of the talent pool maybe isn't available to participate in jobs that are really going to make companies like verizon competitive. i mean verizon is a tech

company, and i think what they're addressing here is how to become part of the conversation to help motivate and help set the stage for bringing young girls into science, technology, engineering and math since that is the future for verizon, where they'll be competitive. >> amazing to see them say, don't touch the drill, give it to your brother, and in the end puts on lipstick. does that help the brand? >> veer rison had an opportunity. they are at least engaging in the conversation to answer that question. verizon has an opportunity to go farther and didn't, they didn't turn the middle of the commercial into why is verizon concerned and what are we doing about it, what kind of impact can we all have together in they've missed an opportunity to move you to the website where they've got a big corporate initiative behind this. >> right. >> making big commitments to getting young girls into science and technologien i think they kind of missed that opportunity in this communication.

but i don't think that they're manipulating us into a position beyond giving us this insight. i don't find it manipulative at all. they're raising an insight, an important one. >> three ads. another one is an ad from always, that just came out, the ad starts with this question -- >> show me what it looks like to run like a girl. >> my hair. god. >> all right. then it turns around, asking the same question of young girls. >> show me what it looks like to run like a girl. throw like a girl. fight like a girl. >> what does it mean to you when i say run like a girl. >> it means run as fast as you can. >> all right. so i mean you saw the two different views there.

when did something like a girl become an insult or so negative? >> well, i think the question is more what's the connection between that and always? i mean, this is a message that supposed to be an insight being brought to us by a company that sells a basic product. and i think the bigger question that at least resonates with me as a consumer, why? i've -- i think that to some degree they're picking up a dialogue that was started in advertising at least a few years ago with dove and the campaign for real beauty, which was very much connected to product, beauty, how women see themselves, how they reflect their own inner beauty connected to dove products. this doesn't have that connection for me. it's almost borrowed equity, to jump on that bandwagon, start a conversation i don't feel like they have a lot of insight to bring me. >> the pantene commercial.

a week ago, pantene released an ad, telling women don't say sorry so much. let's play a clip of that. >> sorry. >> there he is. >> mind if i squeeze in here? >> sore. >> i it's okay. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> i was going to say -- >> i have a question. why don't we go back to the original thing that we did? >> good morning. got a minute? >> what do you think? is that the same efforts? i always say i'm sorry. so i get it. i totally relate to that. is that -- is that the same idea as the other two? >> well, it's more of the same idea as always, it's not the same idea as verizon. verizon has a legitimate position about girls and science. i'm not sure about pantene if i look at the commercial and everybody says they're sorry,

women and men say they're sorry, a polite way to redirect a conversation. so whether you agree with that or not, a separate issue. but what that commercial's telling me if i work it backwards i use the shampoo, i get shiny hair, i'll feel empowered and stop saying sorry. again, it done go there for me. >> you're not buying that. >> i'm not buying that. i don't like to pantene to give men sight that's going to change my behavior or materially change the conversation about empowering women. it's a bit formulait krichlt. i feel like dragged into a promotion rather than a conversation how we respond to those situations and how we're going to react to them. >> all right. great, nice to see you. thank you. don't miss mar than article on the roll out of hillary clinton's book. find it on cnn.com.

after a scandal over mismanaged and deadly wait times for veterans needing care. the v.a. admitted 23 patients died because of delayed care april white house official tells cnn, mcdonald's 33-year tenure at procter & gamble prepares him well for a leading a huge agency which provides services for more than 8 million veterans a year. this weekend marks 100 years since the one single event that nearly all historians agree permanently changed the shape of the world and this is the spot where that event happened. the street corner inner sarajevo, a teenage radical shot dead duke ferdinand on the spot. it triggered world war i that created conditions for world war ii which shaped the cold war and the world that we know today. it all started on the street corner 100 this weekend. world war i. in five years, more than 8.5

million soldiers died in all, 8.5 million. yet the great war is not as commemorated. men and women who fought it not as celebrated as in more recent wars. this man wants to change that max brooks, a writer with a fascination of world war i, one particular american unit. "the harlem hell fighters." first, tell us who were the harlem hell fighter why did you want to they'll them the story this format. >> a new york national guard unit, all african-american with mixed white and african-american officers set up to fail by their own government, poor equipment, training, given to the french, thrown away, given to the french army and ended up coming home as one of the most decorated united in the u.s. army.

>> you say our foreign wars, our american society, are closely linked. can you explain that? >> yes, world war i the first foreign war that the united states fought to literally make the world safe for democracy. it was the first time that we were set on the path of fighting for ideals and that's forced us to live up to those ideals at home and throughout the 20th century, 1st century, peg change, for women, minorities, homosexuals directly to the wars, foreign, essentially make the world a safer place, better place for everyone. >> where does your fascination with world war i come from? >> you know, my fascination came from the fact that my father was in world war i in studying world war ii i was drawn to world war i because we forget that world war ii was the sequel. world war ii was the reaction.

world war i was the cause. >> what about the hellfighters? what is their place in history. it not something we learned so much in school these days. >> you knee i feel that the worst thing you can do to a soldier is not kill them, not capture them, not even torture. worst thing you can do to a soldier is forget them. forget their needs while they're alive and forget their deeds when they're dead. this highly decorated unit that made a difference in a war to end all wars was forgotten by its own army, its own government and i don't think received the kind of valor and the kind of honor that they deserve. >> yeah. and the story, i mean, it does, the story of the hellfighters looks taylor made for a movie. any movement in that direction? >> yes. will smith's company optioned the movie rights, i'm writing the first draft, we'll discuss the amazing combat record, the fact the french treated them as equals when the american government didn't and a side

note, they helped bring our music, jazz, over to france. >> wow, great news. congratulations to you. that's fantastic. great story. thank you so much. >> thank you. kenneth bay has been imprisoned in north korea for more than a year and a half, here's the latest stumbling block to free him april hollywood movie one that north korea calls an act of war. talking about a movie, folks, that's coming. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow.

korea is dead serious about this. here's reason that we should all be worried. since november 2012, north korea has held american kenneth bae in jail and last year sentenced to him 15 gleerz prison. could this cost him a chance at freedom? here to talk about this, david sugarman, a sports agent, a tireless advocate for bae since imprisoned. nice to see you. >> you as well. >> how serious is this? north korea sounds steam over it. >> i mean i think so. they put out an e-mail that i received, reporters, it went around the world, right, about how angry they were about the film. they went as far as calling it an act of war in this letter. so, they're unhappy with the fact that this movie's coming out. >> do you think they have a right to be? >> i understand -- i understand why they're angry. i mean, we have freedom of speech and freedom of press in our great country, however, i

see their point. it's a movie about the assassination of their supreme leader. >> right. >> i wouldn't expect north koreans to condone this film. >> right, right. what about kenneth bae? that's the issue here. is it going too far to say the hollywood movie could hurt his chances? >> i don't think so. i really doesn't think so. first and foremost, kenneth was imprisoned in a prison, north korea, when the movie was made and came out. it hasn't come out but the reels come out. i don't think it will affect. but again talking about such a sensitive, sensitive issue. and to put a film out about the assassination, i mean, it doesn't help my cause. >> right, right. worried that north korea and the leader kim jong-un will hold it gu against kenneth bey? >> not at all. i think their supreme lead already ultimately do the right

thing, i really do. >> certainly doesn't seem likely that hollywood's going to pull it. it's supposed to come out in october. >> yes. >> there certainly isn't word they're going to not show this movie. >> right. >> do you think north korea, something they'll get over? >> i certainly hope so. you know, i sent a tweet to seth rogen twice, clearly he didn't respond to me on those messages. but i really wanted to see him get behind this. also, what the north korean government has to understand, our film business in the states isn't run by our government like it is in the dprk. so it's two completely different cultures as well. >> yeah. what do you know about terms of kenneth bae now? how is he doing? >> i don't know. i'd like to have the opportunity at some point to get to north korea and god willing have the opportunity to see him. >> yeah. >> but i don't have any information on that at this point. >> all right. i certainly hope he's doing well.

turning now to the surge of latino children entering the u.s. illegally, house minority leader nancy pelosi toured a facility in brownsville, texas, where many are detained. the u.s. has a moral obligation to deal with the crisis in a compassionate manner. the obama administration tomorrow will ask congress for

$2 billion in emergency funding to process the rising tide of immigrants, it's a thorny issue, legally and emotionally, of course. listen to one man's ordeal from tonight's airing of the cnn film "documented." >> i have become kind of a walking, uncomfortable conversation. i get asked questions like, why don't you just make yourself legal? and i think it's really important that we go through an application process to become a citizen so that you understand where the problem lies, right? so, here's a worksheet from the website of the u.s. citizenship and immigration services, right? it asks questions like, number one, i am at least 18 years old. yes. number two, i am a permanent resident of the united states and i have been issued a permanent resident card. no. so i can't make it past line two.

>> a lifelong resident of new york, she just completed her first year at queens college, also an un documedocumented imm and joining with us to share the story of her american journey. destiny, nice to see you. a good student, scholarships to go to college, but yet you're prohibited from holding a job. >> yes. >> so, first, how does that feel? >> well, i was prohibited prior to obama passing the deferred action bill, but before it's very hard because all of my friends were getting jobs and getting their license and other stuff like that. and they were asking me why i couldn't do it, because i obviously could not. it was very difficult, if i decided to explain it was very difficult to explain why and even when i did explain, they still really couldn't understand. usually people who are given something like they don't understand what it is to not

have that ability. >> right. right. and we should mention, you mentioned deferred action program, you're part of that because you came here before 2007, younger than 16. >> yes. >> when did you realize that in this country that you were here illegally? >> not until my junior year, actually when everyone started getting their jobs and work permits. >> did someone tell you? >> my mother, yes. she told me when it was time for me to get all of my important stuff and i realized that i couldn't. so i had to ask and she told me here you are joining us on national television. are you at all concerned you could be deported back to jamaica? >> honestly, that has never really crossed my mind. i think i'm young lady living and i'm going to school, i'm working, i'm doing what i can. i'm not doing anything negative toward anybody. so i don't feel like that should ever be a problem.

>> what is your next move, i mean, in terms of the fight for immigration reform? i assume you want to be involved in that and make that happen? >> yes, i do. i'm just hoping that they make it legal because everybody like in the video, they ask why don't you just make yourself a citizen or get your residency, like it's not that easy u it's really not. i think that the law should be passed where kids like myself who did come here when we were younger, with no say in coming here. >> you were, like, what, 2, right? >> yes, i was 2 years old i had absolutely no say in whether i wanted to come here or not and deal with these consequences later in my life, i feel like we should not be punished for the decision, not that it was bad decision, but the decisions of our parents. i feel like we should be -- especially if we work hard in school like i did, i think we should be rewarded and we should get to do and have the benefits just like everyone else that was born here. >> so, you're considered a

dreamer? >> yes, i am. >> as they call it. what is your main goal? i guess you want a state dream act passed, right? >> yes, i do. state dream and then, you know, worldwide. >> what would you get from the state dream? >> i would become, you know -- i would be considered documented instead of undocumented. i would be able to get financial aid, which is one of the biggest problems as of right now, even though i did get a scholarship, but there are many other people out there that did not get a scholarship and who are not able to pay for school and if they were able to apply for financial aid that would help them tremendously, so, financial aid is definitely, like, number one on the list, for me at least, being a young student, to get for dreamers. >> and i know -- when i say you're a dreamer, you're really a dreamer, because i know you want to go to medical school. >> yes, i do >> a lot of work ahead of you. that is a great goal, destiny some nice to chat with you.

veterans affairs secretary tomorrow. the nominee is bob mcdonald, the former ceo of procter & gamble. procter & gamble is based in cincinnati where speaker of the house, john boehner is from and he just released the following statement saying this "bob mcdonald is a good man, a veteran and a strong lead we are decades of experience in the private sector. with those traits, he is the kind of person who is capable of implementing the kind of dramatic, systemic change that is badly needed and long overdue at the va. but the next va secretary can only succeed in implementing that type of change if his boss, the president, first commits to doing whatever it takes to give our veterans the world-class health care system they deserve by articulating a vision for sweeping reform. our nation's veterans deserve nothing less." ♪ people have been predicting it for years, but it looks like

americans are finally embracing soccer. the u.s. world cup team has survived the so-called group of death to advance to the knockout stage. and tv ratings have surged with some of the highest numbers for any sporting event this year. will the love affair last or will americans go back to their old stand boys, like football and baseball, once the world cup is over? let's ask terrence moore, sports contributed to cnn.com and columnist for mlb.com. terrence, nice to see you. >> thank you. >> so, hassocker finally arrived, as they say? >> well, i tell you what, randi, i hate to be a killjoy here, but people have amnesia in this country when it comes to soccer. and a i will tell you, let's start with 1990. that was the first year that the united states was in the world cup in 40 years, so people were naturally gaga. that lasted a little while, died down. 1994, the world cup comes here, people go crazy again, dies down

totally until 1999, with mia hamm and that great woman's team, exciting winning the world cup and the rose bowl. here we are with another sugar high for soccer, last about the time until team usa loses. my gut feeling is we will probably win, we should win on tuesday against belgium 'cause all the stars are aligned, stars and stripes, fourth of july, get it? but after that, it's going to be another, say, oh, four years before we fall in love with soccer again. >> i think i heard you compare it to a sugar high. i like that one. all right. there's been talk though, terrence, that sock certificate perfect sport for the millennial generation, they played soccer as kids, it is multicultural, lasts two hours of baseball game, america's pastime, you know this well, can take two, two and a half, three hours, maybe longer. you are a baseball guy. could soccer maybe replace baseball or absolutely don't think so? you think this just a sugar high? >> i would think that we would

have a better chance of the great pumpkin returning before that ever happens. there's no question, randi that we are in a society now where even the microwave is too slow for a lot of people. you look at soccer, there's no doubt about it, the pace of a soccer matches tremendous. you take that game between team usa and germany on thursday, it started at noon. you basically had time to go and have a nice lunch and get back to work. but here's one thing if nothing else that will always keep baseball ahead of soccer and that is at least in baseball, it does not taken a eternity for somebody to score. >> that is true. i mean, we are in the day of like the four-minute workout. i guess soccer is a good thing, right? all right. let's talk golf. tiger woods returned to golf this week, his first tournament since march. he was a little rusty after some back surgery, but he said he was pain free. how big a deal is it, do you think, to have tiger back? >> i mean, this is huge! when tiger was out for those

three months, it was equivalent to, say, yanking the washington monument and the capitol out of the mall in washington, d.c. and then wondering why tourism was down. this guy, he is golf. and another example, take the u.s. open this year, the television audience was about half as much as it was last year. win or lose, people wanted to see tiger out there and that's going to be like that until he retires. and hopefully for all of our sake, particularly the tv executives, that won't happen any time in this century. >> all right, terrence moore, thank you very much. appreciate it. nice to see you. >> and same here. you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm randi kaye. this hour, we are fast forwarding to the week ahead. take a look at all the stories you will be talking about and hearing about this coming week. we begin with our five questions for the week ahead. our question number one, does bob mcdonald have what it takes to fix the veterans affairs rt
