welcome to "new day" live in brazil where the temperature is high and the drama is higher. team usa gearing up for its big world cup match against belgium. as you know, the u.s. made it out of the group of death. now they run into a hot belgium side. they won all three in the world cup. can the americans keep the dream alive? we'll take you inside a wild weekend of action here and show you a side of life that is often kept hidden. but first back to kate in new york with a serious air scare. >> chris, thank you so much. back to you in a second. this was a scare in the skies over the midwest. united airlines flight headed for california was forced to land in wichita, kansas after the evacuation slide. you can kind of see in the pictures deployed mid flight. how could something like this happen mid flight? a frightening ordeal.

what do we know, renee? >> just look on social media. passengers calling this the scariest flight of all time. the plane descending 20,000 feet within minutes after this emergency slide accidentally deploys, filling up the back of a plane. >> all of a sudden you saw their faces go like this and you heard a big bang and a hiss. >> shock aboard a united airlines flight when an emergency slide accidentally deployed midair, inflating inside the back of a 737 carrying 100 people. passengers report hearing a distinct popping noise before the slide started filling up inside the cabin. flight attendants rushed to assess the situation. >> they had a panicked look. they took the carts and ran backwards to the back of the plane. >> the plane en route from chicago o'hare international airport to john wayne airport in southern california was forced

to make an emergency landing in wichita, kansas, descending over 20,000 feet in 10 minutes, according to flightaware.com. >> the first thing that went through my mind is if the chute opened, then it probably popped out the door, which mean we would probably lose pressure immediately. but luckily, that didn't happen. >> passengers took to social media to share pictures and video of the frightening experience. former nebraska quarterback taylor martinez tweeted this picture of the slide. writing, scariest flight of all time. #emergencylanding. this isn't the first time a slide has accidentally deployed on board a flight. last year a slide opened on a jetblue flight, pinning a flight attendant against the wall of the plane. passengers of this united flight say it's lucky everyone was seated and no one was in the back of the plane when the slide

deployed sunday night. >> there were reports someone tried to open the door aboard this flight. the airline actually says that did not happen. now, the faa in its statement calling this a door issue. we know they are investigating as well as maintenance crews to figure out exactly what caused this to happen. >> thank goodness there wasn't a flight attendant standing there or waiting for the rest room while that door issue happened. hopefully that will not happen again any time soon. i want to talk about mother nature flexing her muscles again. wild summer weather bringing more severe storms, flooding and baseball sized hail to the midwest. yes, it is june, folks. serious damage left behind. apparently we're not out of the woods yet. turning to the southeast, what's expected to be the first named storm this hurricane season, that could ruin fourth of july plans for millions of people on the east coast. we are following all of this weather.

some of it dangerous, some of it inconvenient. it is messy to say the least. >> you nailed it. severe weather that you typically see in the spring time. now it is getting a late start to the tropical season. arthur may just be on the horizon. flash flooding strikes the midwest. severe thunderstorms leading to raging floodwaters in tennessee, arkansas, and minnesota. the overflow making for dangerous driving conditions. >> the rain is coming down hard. you can hardly see anything. the car hit. as soon as it hit, it shuts off, starts floating, puts me against the curb. >> this rainfall making sunday one of the all time 10 wettest days in memphis. and this is just the beginning. this week's forecast calls for a threat of thunderstorms, hail, and tornados stretching from kansas to michigan. over the weekend, emergency crews were ready to go as 100 residents in the city fled their

homes. a similar scene in arkansas. floodwaters rushed into homes like this in the eastern part of the state. in minnesota over the weekend, the the ominous sky opened up to this. torrential downpours. it left residents braving the streets in st. paul. people and cars dodging the puddles of rain overflow onto city streets. the storm with flashes of lightning closing down a run way at the airport. this is possibly a preview of more severe weather to come. >> this what everyone on the east coast is looking at. 60% chance in the atlantic for development into what could be tropical storm arthur. let's take a look at it. all the models developing along the coastline. first the rain in florida. then the carolinas. around the fourth of july itself, continuing up the coastline, looking like a bullseye around d.c. some of the models producing a

little bit higher. you can see the spaghetti model. this is where they all will go. a lot around d.c. a lot towards new england and the northeast. either way, it's the entire eastern seaboard. that is the concern as we head into the fourth of july, kate. >> that means amount of people need to be keeping an eye on this. thank you so much. also happening today, president obama is set to announce a new leader for the embattled department of veterans affairs. it will tap former procter & gamble ceo. cnn revealed a scandal to keep veterans on secret lists for care. new details from jim acosta. what are you hearing? >> reporter: absolutely, kate. president obama will make his selection later this afternoon. the president is sending yet

another message to this troubled department that it's time to change. >> thank you to all of you who are here this afternoon. >> reporter: it's a white house gamble that bob mcdonald, who ran one of the nation's top companies during the great recession, can bring big business discipline. former ceo of procter & gamble graduated from west point in the top 2% of his class. said in a statement, mcdonald is not a name that was on anyone's radar the last few weeks. >> we will do right by our veterans across the board. as long as it takes. >> reporter: after eric shinseki, the president now has a better sense of the department's corruption. a list that had long medical wait times. >> it is irresponsible, in defensible and unacceptable.

>> reporter: the white house issued its own scathing report a corrosive culture has led to personnel problems across the department. on the day shinseki stepped down, the president said the va needed an overhaul. >> i want somebody spending every minute of over day, have we called every single veteran that's waiting. have they gotten a schedule. are they fixing the system? >> reporter: so far congressional leaders still don't know much about mcdonald. he wants to meet him in order to ascertain his views on these issues. others want heads to roll, saying those who created the va scandal need to be purged from the system. and the fact that he has donated money to republican cancelled dates the last several years. even mitt romney. he even got a contribution back

in that presidential campaign. that may explain why house speaker john boehner said bob mcdonald is the kind of person the va needs right now. >> a huge job ahead of hill. first and foremost getting through the confirmation process in the senate. jim thank you so much. let's get back down to brazil. chris is back over there for his -- i feel like that's your work travel. every week skwepbd you travel to brazil, cover the world cup. it's not too bad, buddy. >> reporter: easy flight. 11 hours. let me set the scene for you. the stakes, the tension and the crowds are all much bigger now. rio dejan dejan aro. everyone shares one thing. that's the love of futbol. even on copa cabana beach, there's all these things to stare at.

but football wins. just crowds of dozens of soccer crazies. the beaches in general are so full. you have all these merchants totesing their ads, t-shirts. the brazilian flag walking through scores of people there. it's just everybody is trying to get tan. everybody is trying to get into the scene. a beautiful place. it's really just filled up. so you have the festive atmosphere for sure. over the weekend, everything went crazy. brazil nearly crashed out of the world cup. this would have been a different story if brazil got out. the reaction could be so negative. nail-biting game. it went into overtime in pent kicks. let's bring in laura, anchor of cnn international world sport. she's in salvador, brazil where the u.s. will play belgium tomorrow. fill us in on everything that happened this weekend.

>> reporter: oh, chris, you're absolutely right. if brazil had of lost in that shoot-out, i don't know what would have happened. the city would have been crying together. i was in a lovely little place, a lovely establishment watching the match with a bunch of brazilian supporters. i'm not lying, there were tears after brazil managed to win. the key player in that match, julio cesar, the keeper. my goodness, when it comes to penalty kicks, it is not meant for the keeper. you expect the penalty kick tore actually score. odds are always stacked against the penalty kicker. but julio cesar, this is a guy we all thought would be the weak link to the squad. he hasn't had the best of careers in the past year or so i guess. before that he was on an italian team. we thought he would be the weak link. look at that.

he's the guy that saved the day and saved brazilian hopes and cares. we did see brazil, they do have a weakness. and of that game, chris, neymar picked up an injury. we will have to wait and see if he is available for the next match. >> that was a big one. i love watching that guy hulk. on the back of his jersey, just one word, hulk. got to respect that. people are talking about whether the side is strong enough to win. that's the whole bar for them. even win or failure. but other big games were nail biters that weren't really expected, right? >> reporter: absolutely. greece and costa rica went to kicks. greece didn't look that great coming through their group stage. costa rica has been the surprise team, managing to escape a difficult group with uruguay, italy, england. and that game went down to kicks

also. and the greek buy, he missed his last penalty kick. costa rica is through again. it's quite incredible. mexico had been knocked out. actually, where i was watching the costa rica game, all the mexican fans jumped on board. somewhat neighbors. why not cheer for then. we are seeing a lot of surprise. that's what the whole world cup has been about so far. it's really quite exciting. >> let's not confuse why i'm down here. i need to find out what jersey they are going to wear so i can be in the proper kit. look at belgium. belgium won all of its games. u.s. does not have a great record against them historically. this side is supposed to be really strong but underperforming. size it up for me. what do we feel full strength and how strong the side is.

i hear there's another broken nose for the u.s., right? >> reporter: jermaine jones has a broken nose. now we have two on this american team. clint dempsey and jermaine jones. belgium, they are a strong team. i wouldn't say they're underperforming. they're just getting their feet wet. they are an inexperienced team. the more they play, the better they look. they have been working on mental lapses, which is what you get with inexperienced teams. and i would say this belgium side is so inexperienced because they are. one player on the roster hosni world cup experience. that becomes quite crucial. not so much in the group stage but when you get to the knockout rounds. what happens is you know you have to win. the goal changes. the goal is to get out of the group you're in. the goal now is to keep on winning. you want to win. you want to win the world cup. so that is where experience can

hurt you. i talk about experience. it sounds like the usa has a ton of experience in this roster, but they don't aoerbg. only six on the american roster with any world cup experience. i guess it could kind of go either way in terms of the experience front. chris, expect this belgium/usa game to be very physical, to be very defensive. and i would say we're going to see extra time in this. and and we could possibly be going to kicks as well. i hope that doesn't happen. it will be a very evenly matched match. chris? >> an evenly matched match. another bold prediction that it could go to extra time. we'll have to see. let me know if you can figure out what they're going to wear. i want to have the right jersey on. it's huge. everything is about superstition now. i'll be back to laura in a second. right now back to kate. >> it's all about the right outfit. >> if this does go to penalty kicks, i don't know if anyone's

blood pressure can handle it. >> i feel for the goalkeeper. that is so intense. such focus. let's give you a look at your headlines now 15 minutes past the hour. north korea is preparing to prosecute two american tourists accused of "perpetrating hostile acts." jeffrey foul and matthew miller were taken into custody in separate incidents earlier this year. miller alleged to the country seeking asylum and tore up his tourist visa. foul was accused of leaving a bible in a hotel. breaking overnight, extremist group taking over iraq formerly declares an islamist state. iraqi military says it is in the process of re-taking tikrit. but soldiers are nowhere to be

welcome back to "new day". a united airlines flight bound for southern california was forced to make an emergency land anything wichita, kansas after an evacuation slide deployed inside the plane midair.

96 passengers, 5 crew members aboard. we're told no injuries have been reported. isis has declared independent islamic state in iraq and syria. that companies as the iraq army tries to re-take the city of tikrit. nima? >> reporter: the battle for tikrit is still raging at this point. the iraqi army simply cannot afford to seed any more territory to isis. they know taking tikrit will take them that crucial step closer to the iraqi capital. a ray of hope being seen here for the iraqi government with the delivery of these new conk n contingency of the new fighter jets from russia. they have been calling air support as they possibly can get away from it.

it stretches they say from the north of syria to the east of iraq. and what makes this propaganda fight so deeply is there is a truth in that statement. they do control that geography. the iraqi government hoping that tide might finally be turning. though we're not yet seeing any chance of that yet here on the ground, mikayla. >> watching that subdivision unfold day by day. president obama will seek billions in emergency money from congress to deal with the surge of undocumented children crossing the border from mexico. white house official said the money, which may top $2 billion may go to stemming the influx. 60,000 to 80,000 are expected to cross the border without parents this year alone >> breaking overnight, no mental illness for oscar pistorius.

marine corporal missing nine years, he is facing desertion charges. he is expected to arrive in north carolina today where officials will decide if he will face a court-martial. barbara starr has much more on this story. barbara, what do we know? >> reporter: good morning, kate. this was a case that dates back to almost a decade ago. the corporal faces what the military calls a convenient authority. a top officer will look at all this evidence and look at charges. we don't know if he will accept a plea. but the case dates almost a decade old. it was back in 2004 in fallujah, iraq when he was serving in the iraq war that he disappeared from his base. very suspicious videotape turned up. he was blindfolded. a claim he had been captured by insurgents. it was dismissed.

the whole story didn't add up. he turned up in lebanon living with relatives. he turned himself in. he came back not united states. in 2005, he disappeared again and went back to lebanon by all accounts when he was facing some legal proceedings for this desertion the first time. so this is a guy who the marine corps. now has back in their custody. he turned himself in voluntary by all accounts according to marine corps. sources, living in lebanon. hadn't worked out for him with all the violence there. he now, almost a decade later, faces desertion charges. >> barbara, it does make you wonder why they seem so confident that he is in a deserter. when you look at bowe bergdahl, and there's still so many open questions regarding the circumstances of his disappearance. >> reporter: i think it's a question a lot of people are wondering about. why so certain this man is a

deserter. he left his post voluntarily twice and clearly did not have the intention at the time of coming back. when he left his base in fallujah, iraq, in the middle of that war, he went to lebanon. bergdahl, did he never intend to come back? there has to be an intent not to return to your post. this marine demonstrated that intent twice over a 10-year period. kate? >> all right. very serious charges he could be facing. barbara starr at the pentagon. as always, thank you so much. >> reporter: sure. back down to brazil if we can. chris cuomo is down there. >> has i been working on his tan? >> that's natural. >> i have. how's it look? coming up next on "new day," here we are in rio. two big things for you. everyone is talking u.s. soccer in the states. we have what you need to know

. welcome back to "new day." i'm live in beautiful rio. half the draw played over the weekend in the hunt for the world cup. today, team usa is training in salvador, preparing for what is, any way you look at it, a tough match against belgium tomorrow. remember, be you win or go home now. can we win? i don't know. but jimmy conrad does. retired player with the u.s. team. played in the 2006 world cup. >> hi, chris. >> appreciate it. so, what's the real deal? belgium is 3-0. they call them the golden generation. we're a bunch of scrappers. do we have a shot? >> no question we have a shot. we have the intangible, which is belief and momentum. we take care of a tough group. i'm really excited about our chances. >> we are playing over our heads. we're hungry. super ambitious.

belgium side, 3-0. but you could argue underperforming. >> pause they have been scoring goals late. every single game in their group they scored in the 70th minute or later. they have a lot of energy towards the end of the game. but i think we can take advantage of that. we're going to step on their throats right as the opening whistle. >> the pressure is on them. if they lose to the u.s., it will be a real bang on their credibility going forward. for the u.s., it's all up side. >> being around and playing around the world, nobody hughesing to the u.s. if they go home and say they lost to the americans, that's a lot of shame. the u.s. is getting better at soccer. we have seen miracle on ice. we have watched all the rocky movies. that's the word we want to be in. we want to have the happy ending. and i think we can see it against belgium. >> so injuries are going to be relevant. we hear jermaine jones has a

broken schnoz. jozy altidore has the hamstring. >> belgium is banged up, especially in the back line. they don't have any depth. but their first 11 is very, very good. as for us, i don't think jozy altidore will be playing in this game. >> you think the jogging is a stunt. >> i think there's some gamesmanship. he holds the ball up very well for us. we have done well for him. clint dempsey filled the role. he's doing the thankless work. >> so a couple of points of drama on the sidelines. first your boy landon donovan. he had been saying i hope they don't play well because it will make me feel better about not being on the team. is he joking around? how to we take that? >> i expect him to be a little bit bitter. he was left off. as a competitor there's a part

of you -- he's being real because he wants to prove i should be there. you have to be a team first guy. we want our whole country to succeed. >> he is saying it's not reasonable that we win. now he is saying who is calling us an underdog. he said rebook your tickets for july 14th, which is the end of the tournament. what's his new message? >> i would say with regard to him, he's a mind game guy. it's clear that he got the whole public in a rage. very good at manipulated about the media and getting us fired up about it. we're talking about something he said a month ago. i hate cliches but we're on tv. it's one game at a time. they're rolling the tkoeus, playing with house money. and we shouldn't be scared of anybody. >> he is preparing them

mentally. it has certainly worked. and it also proved anything can happen. even though the outcome, you could argue, it didn't happen the way they expected. >> it's very, very true. england, spaein, italy, all watching at home. costa rica is playing very well. mexico got unlucky. concacaf is strong. there's been a paradigm shift not only from support of americans back home but just the respect we will get from everybody else around the world. >> you work at kick tv. you have to make a prediction the. i want to know the score. i want to feel it. give me some texture. >> i will say u.s. 2, belgium 1. >> strong. >> we're going to score on a set piece, counterattack. absorb their pressure for a little while. we will take away their best player and make sure he doesn't have any influence on the game and we're going to win this one

and play argentina in the quarter finals. >> belgium, they don't know humidity. >> that's the way we have. we're used to playing in different climates. >> we love it. we love the greenhouse effect. hope you're right. great for you to join us here on "new day." thank you so much. back to you in new york. . stop saying how good looking jimmy is. >> you read our minds. >> i was talking about the score. >> he talks about the greenhouse effect. one of the most beautiful places in the country. they're going to feel it. weather has been a factor in the world cup so far. coming up next on "new day" who will fix the troubled veterans affairs department? the president set to make his va pick today. what we know about his choice and the huge job he faces. a stunning twist in the disturbing case out of florida.

president obama set to nominate a former ceo and west point graduate to be the next secretary of veterans affairs. that could happen as early as

today. bob mcdonald stepped down from procter & gamble last year. the issues far predate the secret waiting list but that is clearly at the top of the list right now. joining us to discuss that and much more going on in politics, democratic strategist and senior adviser and kevin madden, cnn commentator and republican strategist. good morning, guys. >> good morning, kate. >> bob mcdonald described as an unusual pick for this. not a four star general like many va secretaries in the past. what do you think? will democrats support him? >> well, we have to find out more, obviously. here's what i like. i believe in affirmative action. my party has to do a better job of reaching out to a business community. ceo, businessman and godforbid,

a republican. he gave $5,000 to mitt romney. maybe this is punishing him. giving him the worst job in washington. i like the idea of cross-pollenation. he starts off i think on the right foot and almost impossible task. >> bob mcdonald goes in. obviously he would be going with his eyes wide open. the huge task that he faces. he has given republicans to the past. put politics to the the side, republicans think he can take on the job, though. >> well, look. one of the things that a lot of republicans will like is he is not a bureaucrat. a lot of problems that the va has had is a stove pipe bureaucracy. ceos are results oriented. focused on accountability.

there was a corrosive culture of lack of accountability inside the va. they have the resume to force change, to change the culture of the va in a way that puts it going in the right direction. i suspect he's right. a lot from democrats and republicans alike. i suspect this is a choice that is not pogue to get a whole lot of opposition. >> quick reality check, paul. republicans and democrats were saying pushing eric shinseki out wasn't going to push the problem out in the va. putting bob mcdonald in isn't going to fix it either. >> absolutely. it was done by the deputy chief of staff. and i think people have to take that seriously. you can't have just a change at the top. a lot of republicans say, the va needs more flexibility and authority to fire people. >> i agree. the va needs more money.

the republican congress has underfunded va. the average of $2 billion less each year. so they need more doctors, nurses and accountability. and i hope they give them both. >> you mentioned $2 billion and more money. let's talk about that on a very different topic that is really important, a dire humanitarian crisis they're facing at the border. the president is expected to make a formal request for assistance to help with the humanitarian crisis with the children flooding the border in the south right now. an important part of what he will be asking is a change in law allowing the administration to set up screening and deportation of some of the children. i know republicans obviously support tougher border security, but is this a move that republicans can sign on to? >> well, i think a lot of it remains on whether or not the obama administration can answer some of the questions about how

they do plan to go about implementing it and making sure they are more accountable. this $2 billion request, i expect ultimately it could be authorized. but it's not going to be without a lot of tough questions. many republicans on capitol hill believe this crisis was one of the president's making. some of the obama policies lacking enforcement incentivized more people to come across the border. they believe we need a much more secure border. we have to do a better job of making sure borders are more secure. so they are going to hold the white house accountable and make sure this is a sustainable level of security and not just throwing $2 billion at it. >> is this throwing good money after bad? it is not is the president going to get a lot of flack from republicans. this could be tough for the president from his liberal

supporters. this move to speed up deportation feeds into the description of him being dubbed porter in chief. >> well, that's the tension here. right. it's a $2 billion band-aid but still just a band aid for a problem that needs major surgery. we do have to have comprehensive immigration reform. republicans have blocked it. they will now forever more. eric cantor lost his rye mary because in some port he supported some sort of immigration reform. republicans are running from that as the devil does have holy water. this president has deported more people than any president in history. more boots and guns on the border since woodrow wilson was chasing poncho villa around. >> remember you cannot discount the fact that one of the reasons we're having a hard time getting any comprehensive reform is the

lack of trust with the president. the president hasn't done the job of reaching out to republicans and building that level of trust. every time he has taken an effort where he unilaterally amended the law, that's only created more distrust. don't just blame republicans. this is an administration that hasn't done a good job building the coalitions on capitol hill. >> once congress comes back after the fourth of july recess, they are heading off on their august recess four weeks later. any time you use the word "immigration" on any legislation, that tells me that's going nowhere fast even if it is a dire situation at the border. are republicans painted as just obstructionists that they can't sign in in just four weeks? >> i think there will be a lot of questions from both sides of the aisle.

>> does your gut tell you they can get it done or is this not going anywhere? stkpwhreuts eye crisis that so many feel they need to pay attention to. ultimately it will get authorized but not without concessions from folks on capitol hill. >> final thought. paul? >> i hope kevin is right. they should ask tough questions. it's our money, after all. it's a humanitarian crisis. we are talking about children fleeing violence. they are not drawn by the magnetism by barack obama. they are fleeing drug gangs taking over villages. we have to address the humanitarian crisis. >> and you have to say all of this must be looked through the lens of the midterm election. for better or worse, that is the way it will be looked. that has to be taken into consideration as well. could put a lot of folks in a tough spot. happy monday, guys. all right.

we're following a lot of news, this included. so let's get right to it. >> all of a sudden you saw their faces go like this and you heard a big gang. and a his. >> that you can to all of you are here. >> it's a white house gamble. >> we are going to do right by our veterans across the board. as long as it takes. >> the world cup has lifted spirits here. if not the standard of living. >> rain is coming down pretty hard. you could hardly see anything. >> flash flooding making for dangerous driving conditions. >> i have never seen damage this severe and widespread. good morning. welcome to "new day." i'm chris cuomo live in brazil. team usa gearing up for its big world cup match against belgium. there is more down here than just soccer. we're following other stories. what's going on with the world

cup as well. outside the rio, in the slums, they're not the limelight. there's a world here that is very different than what you have been seeing. literally a tale of two cities. we're going to show it to you. we're going to introduce you to this other life that happens here and why it is that way and what's the reaction been to all the money, wealth, and fanfare the world cup has brought. they are slums. they are all over the country. but they are unlike anything you have probably seen before. of course we will also tell you what's going on with the game and what to look forward to with u.s./belgium. we have people on the ground. let's get back to kate in new york. >> thank you so much. >> a scare in the skies over midwest. united airlines flight headed for california forced to land in

wichita, kansas after -- just look at that picture -- the evacuation slide deployed mid flight. were passengers in danger? really at the most basic level, how could something like that happen? we have more on what was obviously a frightening idea for those passengers. renee. >> absolutely. could passengers been in danger? yes, they could have been. one on social media calling this the saerest flight of all time. the plane descending 20,000 feet in 10 minutes after this emergency slide deploys mid flight. >> all of a sudden you heard their faces go like this. you heard a big bang and a his. >> shock aboard a united airlines flight when an emergency slide accidentally deployed midair, inflating inside the back of the boeing 737 carrying more than 100 people.

>> they had a panicked look. they took the carts and ran backwards to the back of the plane. >> the plane en route from chicago o'hare international airport to john wayne airport in southern california was forced to make an emergency landing in wichita, kansas, descending over 20,000 feet in 10 minutes, according to flightaware.com. >> the first thing that went through my mind is if the chute opened, then it probably popped out the door, which meant we would probably lose pressure immediately. but luckily, that didn't happen. >> passengers took to social media to share pictures and video of the frightening experience. former nebraska quarterback taylor martinez tweeted this picture of the slide. writing, scariest flight of all time. #emergencylanding. this isn't the first time a slide has accidentally deployed

on board a flight. last year a slide opened on a jetblue flight, pinning a flight attendant against the wall of the plane. passengers of this united flight say it's lucky everyone was seated and no one was in the back of the plane when the slide deployed sunday night. >> reporter: again, kate, i can't stress, this really could have been disastrous, even deadly. the slides are made in many cases to deploy within just six seconds. so just imagine the force. when you look at those pictures, it looks like it would be soft like a bounce house, but these are filled with pressurized gas designed to be hard and solid to handle passengers. so, again, serious injuries could have happened. could have been deadly. luckily, we know no injuries. kate? >> especially when you really dig into the details, rene. that could have been a whole lot

worse for all of those passengers, especially those sitting right near it in the back. rene, thank you very much. we'll be on top of that if there are any new developments there. happening today, president obama is expected to tap bob mcdonald, procter & gamble former ceo, to head the embattled veterans affairs department. the va hospitals across the nation were hiding a long list of veterans waiting for care covering their tracks in doing so. joining us now, who broke the story for cnn. continues to doggedly report on this. drew, when you look at the heads of the va in the past, you've had medical professionals, a lot of retired generals, even politicians. bob mcdonald doesn't fit squarely into one of those categories. seems an unusual pick. what do you think? >> it's an unusual pick, yes. they have an unusual problem at the va when you talk about the systemic failure nationwide.

they really need at the department of veterans affairs, kate, a turnaround expert. somebody who can come in there and really take this huge organization and take it in a completely different direction. a direction that is consumer friendly, that delivers on the product that it's supposed to deliver and can organize hundreds of thousands of people. and i guess what the president is saying, who is better than that than a guy who ran procter & gamble, a huge company. >> it points to where the president's head is on this if you will. just received a report from rob neighbors and one of the most damning lines in this report on friday was that the department is described as having a corrosive management culture and lack of responsiveness and in ability to effectively management or communicate at the agency. at the very least, that'sly what your reporting has shown. do you think the management problem is the first issue he's got to take on? >> absolutely.

when general shinseki resigned, kate, what he said at his speech the morning before he resigned is basically he was lied to by his management team. that they were lying to him. he was not getting the full truth how serious it was. all we are hearing it's worse than we expected. now the president has inside information from his own deputies saying, listen, boss, this is really a bad situation. so you have to get somebody, i feel, from the outside who has no allegiance to anyone at the department of veterans affairs who will come in and hopefully have the power to literally make heads roll. because you have people who have been there and have overseen this operation as it has just gone down the toeuplt for so many years. that's why it is in the terrible shape that it's in. >> absolutely. so far the statements out of capitol hill have been cautious

for some republicans. john boehner offering his compliments saying he is the man that can do it. and the iraq and afghan veterans of america, one of the largest advocacies. what are you hearing from them? >> he's not really a military guy. he did graduate west point. he only had a five-year career. he's not of them. he's not of the veterans groups. he's not of their picks. on the flip side they know they need somebody with strong organization swral skills. maybe an outsider where no allegiance that can look at everybody with fresh eyes is what they need. they want to know what his plans will be. and i think you'll see a semi vigorous questioning period as he goes through the conversation

process. again, this is president obama's pick. it's a business pick. somebody that the republicans at least on paper should applaud. and so the democrats, i feel, would go along with the president's pick no matter what. >> needs to get through confirmation. and congress will be heading back out of town very soon for august recess. this needs to be top of the priority list when you look how long the laundry list is to take on. drew griffin, thank you. we'll talk soon. all right. back down to kwechris cuomo in brazil. >> we are live in brazil. the stakes and crowds are now bigger here. team usa must win against belgium tomorrow. the question, do we have a shot? the weekend had wild matches that all proved one thing,

anything can happen. let's bring in laura, the anchor of cnn international world sport. she's in salvador, brazil, where the u.s. will play belgium tomorrow afternoon. laura, we will be heading to you shortly. size it up for us. belgium is a bunch of hot shots. they're undefeated so far. what makes them so special? >> reporter: well, this is a team full of hot shots. they're kids -- the average age is 26. they play for top european clubs that are very highly coveted players. players that are compared to lionel messi. hazard has drawn comparisons to lionel messi. this is also a very physical team and a very defensive team. they have yet to concede a goal in the world cup. so the usa is going to have their work cut out for them as

they obviously need to score. that's the point of soccer. now, the big issue here, though, with belgium, they could be missing two very key defenders. vincent kompany and thomas vermaelen. both central defenders. so if they're not playing that opens the door for the u.s. to take full advantage. chris, i will say as we talk about this team, all of these fantastic young players, a lot of these guys are seen as the golden generation but the future. so not so much this year people were thinking they would win the world cup. but in four years's time. so looking down the road they would be the core that would lead belgium to the world cup in 2018. they are nothing to write off. but the usa got through germany, portugal, ghana. belgium, not that much different for them. chris, i don't think it's going to be that much trouble for the usa.

>> see, that's what i'm talking about. instead of the golden generation, we're gold plated. they haven't been tested. usa was in group of death. so they are hardened and hungry. tell us, what do we know about how the u.s. can win this game? >> reporter: this is going to be a game that's going to come down to the mid field. once again, that core. there is all this talk of jozy altidore probably ready and able to play on tuesday in this game. i don't think it's a big deal if he is or isn't. it is the middle that's making it work. michael bradley has been given a bad rap. he's the player that covered the most ground for the entire group stage of any team in the world cup. he's moving. he's actually getting things done. so that is how the usa will win. it's in the mid field, chris. >> we have this nice side show

with the u.s. i wonder if the latest chapter up there in salvador. the coach. first, he says, we can't win the world cup. everybody is shocked. you don't want to say klinsmann doesn't know what he's talking about. he has won a world cup as each a player and coach. now he shifted the narrative on us, laura. he is saying, who said we're tphpb undnot an underdog? now he is telling players to rebook their flights until july 15th. >> reporter: it was not something you wanted to hear. he didn't just tell the players to rebook all their tickets. it gives the team a lot of confidence. we have a lot of confidence in the usa now. and, chris, you know, the way that this world cup is going, anything can possibly happen.

so who knows? maybe the usa will be there. it's going to be a tough road, but they could get there. just a few more days. >> the hot tip i need when i get down there is what jersey the u.s. will wear tomorrow to make sure i don't jinx them. i need the proper can it kit. i have to pack right. i'll see you soon. >> reporter: okay. >> back to new york to kate and mikayla. >> we have some intel somewhere, don't we? >> no matter what, you wear the scarf, you're okay. >> yellow -- no. red, white, and blue. i'm just messing with chris. breaking overnight, isis has formally declared the creation of an islamic state in territory that controls parts of iraq and syria. spokesman for the militants said it stretches across northern syria and iraqi. the iraqi military said it is in the process of trying to re-take the territory of tikrit.

residents don't see much progress >> the suspect ringleader of the benghazi attack likely did not provide useful intelligence during his two-week trip to the u.s. they are questioning his prosecution in u.s. courts. they say it prevents authorities from getting the information they need about that deadly 2012 attack >> new this morning, damning allegations against security contractor blackwater. documents obtained by the "new york times" say the they were investigated back in 2007 but the probe was abandoned after the top manager allegedly threatened to kill the investigator. a few weeks later they fatalitily shot 17 civilians. dramatic surveillance to show yo from new orleans from a shooting on bourbon street early sunday morning. you can see people fleeing, running and crawling for cover

when gunshots rang out. nine were injured, two critically we're told. police are still searching for the two gunmen who they say got into some sort of argument and began shooting at one another. severe weather we are seeing this summer. our meteorologist is keeping track of all of this. really severe flooding going on >> take a look at this video. five to seven inches that fell over arkansas. the highways completely flooded out there. unfortunately, it looks like a threat for even more severe weather is going to be out there today. let's shift the focus. seeing enhanced focus. des moines looking at moderate risk for severe weather s. 44 million of you do have the threat from detroit all the way back to the panhandle of texas, down through about amarillo today. that's the focus. by tomorrow, this focus will shift farther east. we're going to be tracking this cold front and low pressure

system that will bring it farther east and bring it into the northeast by the middle of the week. that's one side of the equation. you shift from the spring-like severe weather into what we see in the summertime is the tropical weather. 60% chance in the atlantic to see development here. so many people are watching this because we are worried about the fourth of july. making its way to the carolinas by the fourth of july itself. here's our bullseye. that's our concern. we talk about heaven rain all along the eastern seaboard. >> absolutely right. whole east coast. you're going to be busy. >> just bring your boots along for whatever trip you're planning. >> goes with anything. >> next up, stunning commission from the mother of the toddler that died in the sweltering car. she admitted she too reached child deaths in hot cars. is this a game changer for the

case? legal experts weigh? and supreme court ruling on obama care. should private companies be forced to include contraception in their health insurance plans? we're going to go inside politics with that. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business.

new developments in the investigation of a death of a toddler locked in a hot car for hours. the toddler's mother telling investigators, like her husband, she also researched information on hot car deaths. the boy's father justin harris pleaded not guilty to charges that he killed his 22-month-old son. does his wife's tkpheuadmission investigators in a new direction? good morning to both of you. a new day we learn a little bit more detail on this, sunny. i'm still searching, searching for where the answer is. was it a tragic accident? was it a crime where does this get us? the fact that we now know that

the father and mother both admit they researched hot car dates. >> i said in the very beginning this happens so often. i have admitted that i did it myself. and i think what this tells us is these are first time parents that are very nervous. anyone knows you google drowning deaths. you google hot car deaths because you don't want it to happen to you. but there for the grace of god. and i think in her admission she too did it probably makes this case a lot more difficult for the prosecution. i haven't heard motive yet. barring that i need to hear something about a life insurance policy on the child. i need to hear a bitter divorce custody battle. i need to hear some sort of something before they can say this guy is guilty. they're in a tough place right

now. >> i want to get your take. the chief of police has been quoted as saying the chain of events that occurred in this case does not point towards simple negligence and evidence will be presented to support this allegation. what could investigators have? what could they be looking into that hasn't been released publicly that would lead us into a different direction than what sunny is talking about? >> first of all, i agree 100% with sunny. what could possibly motivate what is otherwise a dad who loves his son, who has no criminal record, no history of mental illness that we know about, who seems to be in a loving marriage. at the funeral, the wife made her first public statement. she said she stands by her husband. she doesn't blame her husband. that he is a wonderful husband. and if they have kids again, he will be a wonderful father to any future kids that they have. what do they have? who knows in they've got to have

something. at this point it seems there is no motive. what we are holding out for, what time did the searches take place? if the wife did searches a while ago, nothing. most people buy a fabric shopping cart insert because they're terrified of germs. that's not suspicious. that's typical behavior of a parent. so i don't know what they have. unless they've got something like maybe he did this research at 9:00 in the morning. that he did it at a time that is super close to when he left the kid in the car. i don't think they have anything. >> do you think the time frame is critical, sunny? >> it is definitely critical. that's the problem people are having with this case.

he had the child. took the child out to breakfast. left him there. got back into the car. opens up the driver's door, closes it, goes back to work. i think people are troubled by the timing of these events. again, there was a survey recently on safekids.org. one in four parents admit to having left their kid in a hot car. how do you find a jury of people -- >> that's an slept point. when you hear from the mother saying she's not angry at her husband, absolutely not, she stands by him, should that change anything? >> i think it will. common sense dictates is this a conspiracy between the two? it almost negates his internet search. that was troubling to me. we have seen like casey anthony, and in scott peterson, it can be very damaging evidence.

but now that you have a mom saying the same thing, unless it's a huge conspiracy, i don't know what the prosecution does. i want to agree with mel on that. maybe the investigators know something we don't know. they really came out pretty strongly saying this is one of the most aoe skwraoepbegregious they have seen. >> we are being very careful. but it does go to the investigators. they did come out strongly and pointed there's more to this story than we are discussing. he is behind bars. thank you, guys. >> thanks. >> of course. let's take a break. up next, hillary clinton is going to get $225,000 to speak at a unlv in october. the student government there said clinton should donate the

money back to the school. why are we talking about so many graduation speeches and the to-do all around it. we will talk about it on "inside politics". >> i know people down here, kate, who could use the money. live in rio. we are going to show you the flip side of this city. a place you have not seen as part of the world cup rollout. but it literally surrounds all the celebrations. come with us into the world of the slums. r left his shoes on te plane... his shoes! and a third simply doesn't want to be here. ♪ until now... until right booking now. ♪ planet earth's number one accomodation site booking.com booking.yeah!

7:28 in the east. breaking overnight, investigators trying to determine how an evacuation slide deployed midair inside the flight. it was headed from chicago to orange county, california. look at these images. it was carrying 96 passengers, 5 crew members. fortunately no one was injured. isis declared creation of an islamic state. the spokesman said it stretches through much of northern syria and iraq. the iraqi military is in the process of trying to re-take the city of tikrit but residents tell cnn they aren't seeing much progress.

north korea is preparing to prosecute two american tourists accused of "perpetrating hostile acts." jeffrey foul and matthew miller were taken into custody in separate incidents earlier this year. miller alleged to the country seeking asylum and tore up his tourist visa. foul was accused of leaving a bible in a hotel. evacuation orders in parts of eastern arizona this. comes as arizona marks one year since the arnell hill fire killed 19 members of the granite mountain hotshots. somber day of remembrance for those 19 firefighters. important to remember. every fire season. >> they run towards the danger. >> while we are all running away. let's turn to washington on "new day" with john king. big day potentially for the supreme court. a lot of folks across the street watching closely. >> good morning to you.

you're dead right. the decision coming from the supreme court on the final day of session. to discuss that and more jack with with the "washington post" and peter with cnn. hobby lobby. owners are a christian family. they think obama care is wrong because it forces them to provide forms of contraception they view as abortion, such as plan b. >> i think policywise it's significant. what happens down the line, this isn't the only case on this issue. another one is coming in the fall having to do with religious non-profits and whether they will have to cover this. that is an aspect here. looking forward on how this affects that and further eroding some of the affordable care act, which of course is a political issue that we are going to the see coming into the 2014 elections. but i have to say you have to

wonder whether republicans will want to talk about birth control again going into the mid-terms. >> the issue has hurt them, especially with women voters. they are trying toin up turnout at their base. >> you have seen republican candidates hold campaign events and public events at hobby lobby. this has been a big banner issue for them. >> my work for the republicans in this place and democrats in that place. an important decision about the right of labor unions to charge fees to non-members. move on to the president's big pick over the weekend. the new secretary of veterans affairs. bob mcdonald, former ceo of procter & gamble. significant thing, west point

grad. big management experience at a giant u.s. company. but he's a republican. he has given money to mitt romney, john boehner and rob portman. a guy with management experience. they have to, a, confirm quickly and give him a chance. >> i think not picking a general or somebody who had been career military was a good move. you heard this especially in the senate after all the va scandal came out. they were looking for someone management before military. >> this pick us because of the business background, military background, inoculates them from any potential attacks from republicans. do republicans in the senate in confirming him really want to pick a fight over this? veterans issues are so important in our society. people don't want to pick a

fight and a little bit size this. >> he said bob mcdonald is a good man. he wants to make sure the president gets in the mandate to change the issues. here's an interesting storiment the fallout from the mississippi senate runoff. incumbent republican winner beats a tea party challenger because of the support of african-americans who crossed over. most said they were lifelong democrats. they crossed over. now the caucus says, great, great. we hope to see you. we hope to hear for you. we hope for your hope. what i hope happens is that he comes to the realize that african-americans is the reason i have the final six years. therefore i'm going to try and be more responsible than i have been. will it happen, peter? >> i don't think we should rule out cochrane doing more outreach

to the african-american community. he has never been at the forefront. he works in the background. we could see him bring home smaller scale projects here and there. it's hard to see him signing on the bigger agenda. >> it was funny. at the end of that story, a couple asked would you vote for cochrane? no. >> they will campaign for the democrat in the race. the other republican has not conceded. it's possible he will go to court here. he perceives irregularities. if he could at least start a conversation where you brought republicans into the room with african-americans before saying we're right, you're wrong. if you could just sit and talk about it first it would be a helpful contribution in my view. let's move on.

the president of the united states asked by george stephanopoulos about this whole kerfuffle about hillary clinton saying we were broke when we left the white house. listen to this in defense of the former secretary of state. >> hillary has been to this rodeo a bunch of times. she is in public service because she cares about the same folks that i talk to here today. as soon as you jump back into the spotlight in a more explicitly political way, you're going to be fly specked like this. over time i don't think it will make a big difference. >> most americans think hillary clinton gets them, understands them on these issues. i love listening to the language. fly specked. she phau a couple of mistakes.

as long as she's gets it done, she's okay. >> it depends if she learns to talk about it. until they learn how to deflect it properly. it seems she and her husband are throwing more gasoline on the fire. >> the minute he said explicitly political. this is a book tour. she was in the six in 2012. now she's in the 50s. but she has to figure out a way to talk about this. it's not the weight thing necessarily. it's the in the bubble thing. she hasn't driven a car since 1996. >> now students at the university of nevada las vegas saying, hey, wait a minute, she's supposed to get $225,000 to speak when student tuitions are going up. the students see the political opportunity, shoe give some of the feedback to school, put it

in a scholarship fund. if she does it for one and she's taken from ucla in the past, every public institution that has given her money is about to say -- >> to be fair, the money came from a foundation where the money was raised privately. these speaking fees seem to be snowballing issue for her. you know, she has spoken to hedge funds. she has taken fees from a group that opposed obama care. this speech happening at the same time elizabeth warren is in kentucky talking about student loans saying i'm just the daughter of a janitor, a speech that meets the populus moment. >> and she has a bill she's pushing that has to with tuition. so not helpful for hillary clinton. >> we go back to you. you have to get up every night to start a morning show.

here's john oliver talking about the supreme court and what a nice gig they have. >> tomorrow is scheduled to be the last day of the supreme court's current term. after that, the only two cases they will be considering are pool noodle versus pool noodle and mouth versus margarita. >> i did not see that one. that is very funny. >> you should take the rest of the summer off too. that's my vote. and make cuomo work when he gets pack from brazil. >> we wished we worked on the schedule of congress. i didn't even put that into the category. we'll add them to it. >> it's a lifetime gig. >> we'll have chicken fights. versus which i will. see who wins. >> i'm not voting. >> thanks, john. >> happy monday. >> all righty. coming up next, facebook playing with your emotions. conducting a psychological study

honeycomb of house all over the countriment we came to the hills outside rio. life is slow here. it is all tight and dark spaces. the power runs overhead in a tangle. it can be unsafe and unreliable. same goes for sanitation and public safety. but as we climb to the top, something unexpected, the most beautiful view. british transplant bob has lived here 35 years and owns the aptly named phaez hotel. >> how did they get so intensely poor? >> they were slaves. the children are slaves. most of the adults couldn't read or write. >> he came when rampant drugs. the only law was that of a drug kingpin? you had a drugs chief that would

make everybody deliver their daughter to them. and he said i get the first night. >> and if they didn't do it? >> they got shot and killed. >> and an effort to clean it up. many say tactics were brutal and short-sighted. in the absence of treatment and better opportunities, brazil is reportedly the world's biggest abuser of crack cocaine. that's why word of the estimated 14 billion poured into world cup preparations was met with anger from the middle and lower classes here. desperate for a better way of life. a lost opportunity did not escape the eyes in the hills. do you have that the government pays enough attention? no, she says. they are more interested in other issues. they don't fix anything. they just put makeup on it.

bob agrees and said the root issue is corruption. >> they haven't got a democracy. anybody who goes into politics -- >> they steal? >> bob says the police, who were sent to make things better, often make them worse. >> that's the really bad thing. even the people who watch out for tourists getting robbed on the copa cabana beach, they watch them get robbed, slap the robber around, and put the goods in their pockets. it's dreadful. >> they say it is for the greater good, not just for the optics of the world cup. and the government is proud to report 20 million brazilians have been lifted from poverty. there's one thing uniting one

thing in brazil. futbol. >> that's what i'm talking b. the kids welcomed a gringo, put me in goal, and then pummeled me. the world cup has lifted spirits here, if not the standard of living. >> i hate to tell you but sometimes the poor are happier than the rich. they may not have much but they enjoy it. the first sun rolls over the mountains and pours over the sea like fresh orange juice. after 35 years i'm still looking at it and i still love it. >> i'll tell you, it's important to tell these kinds of stories. not to be a downer but to be real. the view is amazing.

it is such irony, such contrast that this beautiful view is held by those who have the least. we have problems with poverty in the west. but this is a unique culture people need to be aware of. >> an important one to tell. absolutely. i guess the hope is and really as you pointed out in your story is the hope is with telling the story, bringing attention to the world cup, you can lift up their spirits and bring attention to those who need it the most, rather than the glitzy glam of the days and everybody leaves and everything remains the same. that at least can be the hope i guess. >> one thing chris knows well and knowing brazilians. no matter what, with the littlest amount they have it's a very happy people. the people that have nothing say tomorrow will be better. tomorrow is good. at least i have family. at least i have sunshine. at least i have a football to

kick around. beautiful spirit in those people. >> reporter: and there's hope, that's for sure. they are trying to make something of this. what will fifa, the soccer organization give back, if anything, what will the media and the rest of us do to help this place once the soccer balls are done being kicked around for the world cup? and hopefully the attention is sustained. >> thank you for telling that story. we'll get back to chris, a lot more world cup coverage to come for sure. first, a quick break. coming up on "new day," facebook has developed a psychological experiment on its users. we'll tell you how the social media giant altered news feeds for hundreds of thousands of users and how it is responding from a backlash. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175.

all right, welcome back to "new day." had any behinds of mood swings recently after going on facebook, there may have been a reason. the social media giant acknowledging it tampered with the news feeds of nearly 700,000 users for a week in 2012, part of an experiment to see how users react to positive or negative news on their screens. backlash ensued, surprisingly. now facebook responding to that backlash. we want to bring in our alison kos kosik, business correspondent, to talk about this. they say they were looking at the concept of emotional contagion. >> right. >> which i think is fascinating. they were trying to see is if they could kind of gauge what

your emotion is depending on what the content is, so they put up a lot of positive things on your news feed, and that they noticed created positive postings from other people, same went for negative. they were able to go ahead and skew the way you were thinking or manipulate the way you were thinking. >> that's scary. manipulation is the word right there. it really gives you pause and scares me when you think they were just doing an experiment to manipulate how people were feeling and how they then reacted on facebook, how are people reacting? >> it is creepy. what better place to find out how people were acting than it go on social media. one woman posted, i wonder if facebook killed anyone with their emotional manipulation stunt at their scale and with depressed people out there, it's possible. and father edward beck on facebook saying, if you're the sort of person who has wild mood swings, i'm not sure why you're on the internet in the first

place. to a lot of these people, it is not such a huge shocker, my gosh, facebook is doing this. you're seeing the anger because nobody was told they were being part of this experiment. >> facebook is saying, look, right there on our terms of service, it says we can do research on you. >> exactly. 9,000 words, the justification is this terms of service, and in the terms of service is this little sentence that says, yes, we can use your information for research. there aren't any legal implications for this. ethical, that's another story. because it does kind of ooze of, like, we're the guinea pigs or the lab rats. this is kind of creepy. we go on facebook, it is a personal experience. and here we feel like, yeah, somebody is watching us. it is the -- it is facebook. not going on. this was just for one week. two years ago. one week in january, this research went on. >> now the report just came out. >> yes. it was posted -- put in a scientific journal and everybody is in shock. >> i think we have yet to establish what the beneficial

goal is in manipulating our mood. >> i think they're wondering it as well. >> maybe we should have wondered before we conducted the experiment on people. allison, thank you so much. i when i s when i see you, i have happy thoughts. an evacuation slide deploys midflight. the terrified passengers and now the investigation into how this could have happened thousands of feet up. hey, i heard you guys can help me with frog protection? yeah, we help with fraud protection. we monitor every purchase every day and alert you if anything looks unusual. wow! you're really looking out for us. we are. and if there are unauthorized purchases on your discover card, you're never held responsible. just to be clear, you are saying "frog protection" right? yeah, fraud protection. frog protection. fraud protection. frog. fraud. fro-g. frau-d. i think we're on the same page. we're totally on the same page. at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. fraud protection. get it at discover.com

breaking overnight, slide shocker. united airlines flight forced to make an emergency landing after this, the emergency slide deploys inside the cabin midair. how did it happen? and how real was the danger? world cup fever. we're live in rio after a crazy weekend of football action. mexico out. brazil in. each game more nail biting than the last. now, our eyes are on the u.s. preparing for their first knockout game. caught on tape, an arizona state university professor stopped for jaywalking. but then it gets ugly.

the cop throws her, she kicks him. what is behind this altercation? she joins us live. >> your "new day" continues right now. good morning. welcome to "new day." i'm chris cuomo live in brazil with the american world cup squad has everything on the line. literally. win, or go home. it is that simple. tomorrow, big match against belgium. the u.s. already shows that it has got the right stuff, made it out of the group of death. however, they're running into this hot belgium team. they haven't lost the entire tournament, haven't given up a goal an entire tournament. we'll review and preview. because we believe we have a chance. we also have some of the weekend's wild matches and we have more of the world cup experience here in rio. so we're going to bring you all that. first, let's get back to kate in new york with a very serious

story about a scare in the air. kate? >> chris, we'll get back to you. let's talk about that scary moment midair, an emergency evacuation slide suddenly deploys on united airlines flight. the california bound plane was forced to make an emergency landing in wichita, kansas, because of it. so what prompted this all to happen and how much danger were passengers and the crew facing? midflight. aviation correspondent renee marsh is live in washington with much more, so many questions, renee. >> so many questions at this point, kate. you said how much danger were these passengers in, potentially a lot of danger. one passenger calling this the scariest flight of all time. and this morning, the faa tells us it was an issue with the plane's door that caused this emergency slide to deploy midair. passengers describe what could have been a deadly situation. >> all of a sudden, you saw the faces go like this and heard a big bang and a hiss.

>> reporter: shock aboard a united airlines flight when an emergency slide accidentally deployed midair, inflating inside the back of the boeing 737 carrying more than 100 people. passengers report hearing a distinct popping noise before the slide started filling up inside the cabin. flight attendants rushed to assess the situation. >> they just had a panic look and quickly took the carts and ran backwards to the front of the plane. >> no injuries were reported but the plane en route from chicago o'hare international airport to john wayne airport in southern california was forced to make an emergency landing in wichita, kansas, descending over 20,000 feet in ten minutes according to flight aware.com. >> the first thing that went through my mind is they -- the chute opened and it probably popped out the door, which meant that we probably would lose pressure immediately. but luckily that didn't happen. >> reporter: passengers took to social media to share pictures

and video of the frightening experience. former nebraska quarterback taylor martinez tweeted this picture of the slide, writing, scariest flight of all time, #emergencylanding. this isn't the first time a slide has accidentally deployed on board a flight. last year a slide opened on a jetblue flight pinning a flight attendant against the wall of the plane. passengers on board the united flight say it is lucky that everyone was seated and no one was in the back of the plane when the slide deployed sunday night. >> these slights are made in many cases to deploy in just six seconds. so just imagine the force. it is not soft, you look at the pictures there, looks like possibly soft, like a bounce house. well, they're not. these slides are filled with pressurized gas designed to be hard, solid, to handle passengers. so this could have caused severe injuries and it certainly is not

a stretch to say it could have been deadly. michaela. >> what a relief it was not, renee. thank you for walking us through that. hopefully it won't happen again. extreme weather may turn our fourth of july into a washout for millions of folks on the east coast. churning in the southeast, what is expected to be the first named storm of this season, the hurricane season. meanwhile, parts of the midwest, look at this, severe storms already leaving their mark. that was the scene in eastern arkansas over the weekend. folks trying to get through flooded roads. what looked more like rivers. meteorologist is joining us. >> here is the concern. more severe weather is expected to be out there again today. we're talking about 44 million of you including the quad cities in des moines. this is only one side of it, we still have a tropical storm that could be developing into the atlantic. flash flooding strikes the midwest.

severe thunderstorms leading to raging floodwaters in tennessee, arkansas, and minnesota. the overflow making for a dangerous driving conditions. >> rains coming down pretty hard, can barely see anything. car hit, as soon as it hit, you know, shuts off, starts floating, puts me against the curb. >> this weekend's rainfall making sunday one of the all time ten wettest days in memphis, and this is just the beginning. this week's forecast calls for the threat of thunderstorms, hail and even tornadoes stretching from kansas to michigan. overnight in iowa, firefighters and paramedics rescued stranded residents from their homes, whole families pulled to safety by boats in cedar rapts. downed trees and smashed vehicles now line the streets. a similar scene in arkansas, where floodwaters jumped the stoop rushing into homes like these in the eastern part of the state. in minnesota over the weekend, the ominous sky opened up to this, torrential downpours. that left residents braving the streets in st. paul.

people and cars dodging the puddles of rain overfloed flwin to city streets. these flooded buildings, playgrounds and cities possibly a preview of more severe weather to come. we talked about the severe weather threat in the midwest. now all eyes focused on what is developing in the atlantic. we have a 60% chance in the next two days this could be a tropical storm. that would be arthur, the first one of the atlantic season. take a look at its path, expected to develop right along the immediate coastline, by the time we get to the fourth of july itself. look like the bull's eye around d.c. there are several weather models out there, some of them bringing up toward the mid-atlantic. some models are bringing it further to the north, in through the northeast. keep in mind, pretty much the entire eastern seaboard can be affected. remember, we're talking about fourth of july itself, but, of course, by saturday and sunday, the hope now is the forecast is right and shifts out of here, the entire weekend will not be a washout. >> let's hope it shifts earlier,

sooner rather than later. thank you, indra. that this morning, cnn learned the president picked the person he would like to next head up the scandal plagued veterans affairs department. bob mcdonald is a former procter & gamble top executive. also, a graduate of west point. so is he the man to best clean up the systemic problems and the immediate crisis, quite frankly, facing the va and 1700 facilities now under the microscope? senior white house correspondent jim acosta is joining us live from the white house, of course, with more. jim, what more are we learning about this pick? >> reporter: kate, president obama will make his selection of bob mcdonald official with an event at the va later on this afternoon and by reaching outside the government to make his pick, the president is sending yet another message to this troubled department that it is time to change. >> thank you to all of you who are here this afternoon. >> reporter: it is a white house gamble that bob mcdonald who ran one of the nation's top companies during the great

recession, can bring some big business discipline to the department of veterans affairs. the former ceo of procter & gamble, mcdonald graduated from west point, and the top 2% of his class. but he's not well known among veterans groups. this is definitely a surprising pick, the head of the iraq and afghanistan veterans of america said in a statement mcdonald is not a name that was on anyone's radar over the last few weeks. >> we're going to do right by our veterans across the board. as long as it takes. >> reporter: one month after the resignation of va secretary eric shinseki, the president now has a better sense of the department's corruption that resulted in secret lists that concealed long medical wait times for veterans. >> this is a breach of trust. it is irresponsible. it is indefensible. and it is unacceptable. >> reporter: last friday, the white house issued its own scathing report finding a corrosive culture led to personnel problems across the department that are seriously impacting morale and by extension the timeliness of health care.

the president said the va needed an overhaul. >> i want somebody spending every minute of every day figuring out have we called every single veteran that is waiting? have they gotten a schedule? are we fixing the system? >> reporter: so far congressional leaders on va issues still don't know much about mcdonald. bernie sanders said he wants to meet mcdonald in order to ascertain his views on these important issues, while republican jeff miller wants heads to roll saying those who created the va scandal will need to be purged from the system. and making the bob mcdonald pick even more unusual is the fact he's donated money to republican candidates over the last several years, even mitt romney, mr. obama's rival in 2012, got contributions totalling $5,000, maybe one reason why house speaker john boehner released a statement, pretty favorable one, saying that bob mcdonald is just the person that the va needs. kate? >> even if he makes it through confirmation, which we'll see quickly, it leaves you this is a guy who is facing a tough question of where do you begin

when he takes on this job? jim, thank you very much, at the white house for us. let's get down to chris in brazil now where world cup fever has taken over once again. >> true, true. the world cup rolls on. we're down to 16. and the question that pains is whether the u.s. will beat the odds and make it to the final eight. belgium stands in the way, shaking its unbeaten head. tourists from all over the world are descending on rio. you don't just come for the sun and what is barely covered by what passes for a bikini here, so i hear, haven't seen for myself, you come for the soccer. some of the most exciting soccer that we have seen and right now beaches are not just for relaxing, they are for screaming for your country. that's when's go on here, all these different languages, beautiful to behold. this weekend showed us that anything can happen in the world cup. almost all the matches went into overtime. brazil, the host country, nearly

eliminated, but we're all about the americans here. how can they make the belgians waffle? lara baldesarra joins us. you can have the line about making belgians waffle. it is all yours. a gift from me to you. tell me how the u.s. sizes up against the belgians. >> these two teams, chris, they are almost meant to play against each other. they're very similar teams. both very physical teams, very tactically astute teams. i want to talk about the one thing that could e the real differencemaker for the usa. and that's just the pure confidence. a lot of that will stem from the usa coach, jurgen klinsmann, he knows what it is like to win the world cup as a player. he's previously coach in the world cup. this is a guy that just exudes confidence. we heard that even more with him telling all his players and the families to rebook their tickets, do not book your ticket

until after the world cup finals to leave brazil. he's confident. that is then feeding to the players. i am actually going to be inside the press conference in a few hours and that's going to be key. because it is one thing to hear what these guys say to read their quotes afterwards, but you can get a sense almost of that confidence that they may or may not be feeling, what their attitude is like. i've seen jurgen klinsmann transition from the first game where he seemed a little tentative, in the press conference, to really loosening up as things -- as he moved forward. and the germany press conference, he was loose, relaxed, happy, good. and i want to see if that continues and how that is then feeding over to the players, chris, because it is all going to be them, if they feel the confidence from him, they'll go out there and play very well. >> you definitely seems to know how to get them to be their best, despite what the media thinks about it. when you get into the presser, see what jersey they're wearing. i want to make sure i have the right one on.

i know i keep asking you, it is very important. yogi berra had the famous quote, not the heat, it is the humility. what about this -- the temperature down there in salvador, the moisture, the humidity, does that play to the u.s. advantage at all? >> well, it will and it won't. the u.s. has now been very accustomed to playing in very hot places, humid places, they played up in the amazon rain forest. they know that it is going to feel like. the u.s. team arrived here in salvador, in this weather, they have been in the stadium behind me to kind of check out the lay of the land, understand what this pitch is going to be like, feel what it feels like to be standing in the middle of the pitch, and so they are very well experienced, let's say. the belgians not so much. they have not had to play in such extreme heat. now that could actually be working to the usa's favor. i want to mention something about this entire jersey thing. if i find out what jersey

they're wearing, i don't want you just to go out and buy it with no name on the back. that's amateur hour. i need you to dedicate yourself to a player and get your name on your back. can you do that? >> i don't know. i'm stunned from the trash talk going on here, baldesarra. didn't i just see you wrapped up like kenny from the rain drops. don't get all high and mighty with me. i have one jersey from each. i'm not about the names and the pageantry. i'm just about support, baldesarra. i'm just about being an american. let me know what you find out in the presser and i'll see you down there in a couple of hours. thank you for the preview. giving me that trash talk. i like it. i like it. back to you in new york. >> definitely. i have the perfect solution. if you have both jerseys, layer them on, and then, you know, grab if you will, whichever one you need. >> make me look bigger. i like it. >> and also a little tip, you're going north, don't go down if you go down, you go away from the match. go north to salvador, my friend.

>> thank you. thank you very much. >> talk to you soon, hon. a look at your headlines at 16 minutes past the hour. happening today, the supreme court is expected to rule on whether companies need to cover contraception for employees despite religious objections. right now it is a requirement under the affordable care act, but critics say the mandate goes against religious freedoms. chaotic scene playing out in new orleans, caught on camera. a pair of gunman opening fire near a crowd on bourbon street, people running, crawling for cover as shots rang out. police say the two men got into some sort of argument, pulled out their guns and began firing. police are still searching for the gunmen. dozens of people got an extended ride at san diego's seaworld. a power failure left them 220 feet high for four hours. they were in the sky tower which takes rider up for a ran rampan

apparently going to be with his family in that country. that's 2004. in 2005, after he turns himself in, comes back to the united states, once again he leaves and disappears from his post with a marine corps. now, apparently, once again, turning himself in, he potentially does face charges of desertion. michaela. >> a lot of questions for that young man. thank you for that. next up on "new day," caught on tape, a college professor in an altercation with a police officer, and then carded off in cuffs. find out what she's accused of and why she maintains she's innocent. we'll speak with her live. all right. as we all know, down here in rio, the big deal is the american game against belgium. can they win? what are the odds? what else is happening in world cup land? we have it all for you. stay with us.

we want no compromise, no compromise when it comes to u.s. soccer. welcome back to "new day" from rio de janeiro. this morning, team usa is training in salvador, just a few hours north of where we are, preparing for what is going to be a tough match against belgium any way you look at it. here is what we know. over the weekend, eight teams battled it out to see who would get one step closer to the world cup. almost every match, three out of

four, went into extra time. anything can happen. how do i know? david luno told me. he's joining us. david, thank you for joining us. great to be here with you, especially in rio. >> nice day. >> it is the american way to shoot for the top, okay? let's not get ahead of ourselves. this match, we have to be the underdog. >> we are. belgium, well, belgium is ranked 11th in the world by fifa. we're ranked 13th. >> 3-0. >> undefeated in qualifying in the european qualifying. they had a great group. they gave up four goals in ten games. this time around, they're 3-0, they have given up one game in three games. >> one goal. a little better. >> their starting 11 are a who's who list of top european teams. >> golden generation or something? >> this is the best team we have seen out of belgium since the 1980s. this is go to be a tough game for us. we have to bring our a plus game. >> they are the ones with all the expectations.

they're the golden generation. we're just hungry. we're already over our heads. we weren't supposed to get out of, what do they call it, the grupo del morte. how will that play into the situation? you're belgium and the usa, you have to win. >> hopefully they come out and play tight and play like they have the nerves and not us. i agree with you. we're the underdogs, that's a nice position to be in. in belgium, they say for some teams in this tournament, the shirt, the jersey begins to weigh on you the further you get. i think we saw that with brazil against chile this past weekend. brazilians were nervous. the shootout was the most nervous affair i've ever seen. >> cross bar won the game. >> cross bar won the game. brazil could have -- the great escape. for belgium, they know their country is hanging on every move and hopefully they tighten up and we can take advantage of that. >> the romance of the narrative also, brazil, they called

this -- the country of football. but if they don't win, people here, that's all they accept. you win the cup or they hate you. and the goalie this weekend wound up stopping two penalty kicks, very rare. the goalie is usually a huge disadvantage. playing in canada, they say that's why he got better. he was the goat the last time around. they plame eblamed him and now hero. >> brazil is not known for the best goalkeeper. they try to avoid the ball going to the goalkeeper. there were large stretches of the game that chile looked like the better side. they controlled the midfield in the second half. they were as you say two inches of the cross bar away from going through. brazil at this point has to be nervous. if you talk to the locals, they're worried about this team. they know that next up is a colombia side on saturday that looked very, very good. rodriguez is uruguay's -- the coach, he's the best player at this world cup and that's saying something when you compare him

to neymar and other great -- >> that was sick, it comes in the air, bounces it off his chest and kicks it in free flight. that's pretty impressive. how about conditions? may help the u.s., the heat, the humidity of salvador. >> we have a brutal travel schedule. we have guys with broken noses. >> two guys now. our captain, clint dempsey and jermaine jones broke his nose. >> those guys have been warriors. jermaine out there, he's been battling it out. impressive how they're marching through. i think the u.s. had the worst travel schedule up until now. we had horrible conditions in our games. >> are they rested? >> drained, but hopefully they're rested and we can outrun -- >> they have gotten sympathy daday now. >> they have gotten some days now. let's hope jozy altidore is better now. these things take time, as you

know. it is still early. >> belgians haven't been tested yet here. >> they three relatively easy games. but there are no easy games in the world cup. if you win three games, you're doing something right. >> have they faced anybody like that yet, howard, big, intimidating? >> no. he's our hope. we have to try to control the tempo. our midfield needs to play better than it has been playing. no defensive lapses. belgians are technically very good on the ball. we want to create space. i think what the germans did was smart. they pressed us way up high the entire game and we had trouble getting the ball out of our half. >> so much for collusion. >> yeah. exactly. >> i may not see you tomorrow, what is your prediction? >> 1-1 going to extra time. at that point, it is up in the air. you're not drawing me out of this one. >> that's the wall street journal for you. thank you very much, mr. luhnow, appreciate it.

enjoy it. it is great soccer. this is a tough job. >> somebody's got to do it. >> it was me, not you, mick, even though you speak the language and understand the culture. >> fair is not always fair. what is that saying, we believe that we can what? >> we believe that we will win. >> i like hearing you say it. >> without any real subjectity. >> that's all right. we'll be back with you in a little bit. next up, a college professor on her way home from work suddenly forced to the ground by a police officer. was this excessive force or something else going on? we'll speak with the professor live next. veggies you're cool... reworking the menu. mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals. 9 grams of protein... with 30% less sugars than before. ensure, your #1 dr. recommended brand now introduces ensure active. muscle health. clear protein drink and high protein.

right now. >> don't talk to me like that. this whole thing is about your lack of respect for me. >> she was on her home from teaching when a police car pull up next to her. this exchange caught on camera. >> let me see your i.d. or you will be arrested for failing to show i.d. >> are you serious? >> yes, i'm serious. that's the law. if you don't understand the law, i'm explaining the law to you right now. you're walking down the middle of the road, a public thorough fare. >> i have no problem abiding by the law, but the action was, do you have to speak to me in such a disrespectful manner. >> a passerby called 911 to voice concern. >> what is your emergency? >> i'm on college and 5th street and there is a police officer getting way too aggressive with a young lady who is on the street. >> finally restrained, orr kicks the officer in the leg after being lifted from the ground, she claims it was self-defense and now faces criminal charges including assaulting a police officer and resisting arest. >> get your hands behind your back.

route. >> it was a good day. >> but it didn't end up being a good day. give us an idea of what happened that was out of the ordinary. you're walking down the street. are you in the middle of the street? many of us jaywalk. give us an idea of what is happening here. >> i was crossing the street and as i was crossing the street, a car came billowing down the corridor. i saw lights. and this happens periodically because the corridor is blocked off, it is cars -- it is a pedestrian only thorough fare. and when cars come down, you stop, you pause, you wait, sometimes they u-turn, sometimes they don't. it is an understanding. but i was -- when the person came down the street, all i saw were the headlights. so i stopped. because if i didn't stop, i might have gotten hit. so i stopped. >> you didn't realize at this point it was a police officer because it was dark as we saw in the video. >> yeah. i just got finished teaching in classes, class is from 6:15 -- 6:00 to 8:15 or so. this is approximately 8:20.

i had just got finished teaching, i had just crossed the street, i was on my way home from work. >> nothing out of the ordinary except the fact you weren't in a cross walk. as you said this wasn't an area that there were a lot of cars that were going down. this was not an area frequented by vehicles. so the car -- >> cars aren't supposed to be in the corridor. >> they're not supposed to be in the corridor. as this officer, they maintain they almost hit you with their car, that you were in the middle of the road. >> no, that didn't occur until after he didn't indicate whether or not he wanted to continue moving forward or wanted to make a u-turn. at which moment in time i proceeded to continue crossing the street. i had asked, given the right of way, do you want to go, can i go? is it okay? no response, i just continued to do what i was doing, which was cross the street. at that moment, he flew on tthr lights and then i knew it was a cop car. and i ended up in the middle of the street because i was stopped in the middle of the street, not

because i was just by happenstance in the middle of the street. >> at this point, the officer gets out of the vehicle and that's when there were words. give us an understanding of what the words were. what did he say to you? >> he didn't get out of the vehicle immediately. when he pulled up in front of me, he asked me -- he asked me if i knew the difference between a street and a sidewalk. >> how did you respond? >> i said, what? and he repeated himself. and then at that moment in time i asked him, do you always accost women in the middle of the road and speak to them with such disrespect and so rudely as you just did me? and it was -- it was before -- it was after i used the word accost he said what. he didn't say what at the end of my sentence or further towards the end of the sentence. he said what when i said accost and i realized he didn't hear anything i said because i probably used the word he didn't -- maybe he was unfamiliar with. but his aggression towards me

after that moment made me feel a little, okay, i don't know what i've done wrong, i was crossing the street, i was asked if i knew the difference between the street and the sidewalk. i know the difference. i think anybody -- >> it escalated from there. i understand that he asked you for i.d., you denied him your i.d., you were refused that request. >> no, i didn't refuse the request. >> you didn't? did you give him your i.d.? >> i didn't give -- i wasn't given an opportunity to actually really give i.d. i was never -- i was never asked about my name was, i was never told what i was in violation of, it was just immediately do you know the difference between a street and a sidewalk and then gets out of the car. he throws the car door open is what happens, and he says, towering over me, he's intimidating, he is -- i don't no he why he know why he's so aggressive. >> we watched this video. it is hard for us to watch this

video. you're not a tall woman. you're about 5'2", 5'4", we see that he's being aggressive, were you doing anything or saying anything -- allow me to play devil's advocate, because people will see this and wonder what you were doing to instigate such behavior. >> i asked him to speak to me with respect. >> but then you kick him, didn't you? do you regret that? >> i'm not at liberty to discuss that. i've been advised by my lawyer not to discuss that. >> we understand you have a court base on thursday, correct? >> yes. >> how do you feel about that? >> at this point, i can't -- i don't have language for that. i'm just trying to take one day at a time. >> do you regret anything? do you wish you had handled things differently or do you feel this was not a case of that? >> i don't know what you mean by a case of that, a case of what?

>> do you wish you -- on your part, we can only control our behavior, correct? do you wish that you had done anything differently that night or no? >> no. i think i did what i was supposed to do. i mean, i was respectful, i asked for clarification, i asked to be treated with respect and that was it. if you look at the video, i'm saying the same thing over and over again. and then it becomes a situation of i'm no longer just confused, like, i am nervous, i'm fearful, he grabbed me. it was at that point when he grabbed me that the confusion just morphed into i don't know what is going on, i don't know what i did, i don't know why you're touching me, you're not supposed to touch me. you never asked me what my name was, you didn't tell me what i'm in violation of. i'm trying to cross the street to go home because i had a great day. the day was over. >> and, look, we understand that. thank you for allowing me to play devil's advocate. it is hard to make sense of the pictures. i didn't mean to upset you.

i can tell you're shaken from this, this situation. we wish you well on thursday. we know you have a court date and hopefully we can get an update on how this turns out for you, dr. ore. this is not a situation that any of us relish seeing you in, okay? >> thank you. >> you stay well. >> thank you. we'll take a short break. after this, we'll have the good stuff for you, i think we need it today. ♪ they lived. ♪ they lived. ♪ they lived. ♪ (dad) we lived... thanks to our subaru. ♪ (announcer) love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru.

time for the good stuff, my friend, this time from rio. it is today's edition, a very special world cup ticket and very special man who holds it. brazilian grandfather georgi bellman had a ticket to the attend the final game in the 1950 world cup, between brazil and uruguay. but his mother was sick. so he had to miss it. believe me, in this country, it is about the only reason you wouldn't go. so he kept the ticket and when he tried to donate it to fifa for their new museum, oh, what a surprise he got. >> we said, we would love to get your tickets, but then you are august for the final in 2014. that's the minimum. so he's here. he's sitting here with his

grandson. i have his ticket for the final with his name. >> so the 85-year-old meets up with the fifa secretary to exchange his ticket for a new ticket to this year's final. get this, as a special treat, his two sons get to go as well. isn't that nice? good stuff, world cup style. >> right. about as good as it can get when it gets to the world cup, chris. thank you so much. really cool. >> 65 years. >> better late than never. back to chris, throughout, of course, because the big game is tomorrow. we'll be there. time now, though, for "newsroom" with carol costello. >> thank you so much.
