what happens this time of the year is sea breeze fronts thunderstorms. i want to show you because it is an interesting phenomenon. what happens is the land during the day heats up and the water temperatures are much cooler. we get the winds blowing off the water on to the land forcing that warm air up getting thunderstorms developing. see how these have been moving across the peninsula and they will make it potentially to the east coast. >> john, what is the window of opportunity here? john zarella, can you hear me? >> yeah, don. >> what is the window of opportunity for launch? >> right now they can go from 7:13, they can stretch it a few more minutes if they thought the weather would clear. they could go to 7:18 or so. this weather is moving so, so

slowly that right now, although they have not officially scrubbed, they are saying they are no go because of the weather for return to launch site. if they have to wait and go tomorrow, 6:51 p.m. eastern time. >> john, stand by and jacqui. i'm going to reset here. john is at kennedy. jacqui jeras is at cnn headquarters. i'm don lemon. a lot of breaking news. first we are a few minutes away from tonight's scheduled launch of space shuttle "endeavour." it might not happen. until ten minutes ago nasa put the brakes on a 7:13 lift time. as john zarella has been reporting, not officially scrubbed yet. this is due to showers around

the kennedy space center. katie coleman, nasa astronaut is joining us. we are going to talk to them in a little bit and see how long the window of opportunity will last. they are in a holding pattern of sorts. everyone is standing by. let's get back to our other breaks news, an arrest in last week's double killing of florida couple. they lived near pensacola with 16 children m with special needs. leonard patrick gonzalez was arrested for allegedly tampering with a van that was seen in surveillance video at the home of byrd and melanie billings. >> i will tell you this, we are very anxious to share this story with the citizens of escambia county and the nation, if you will. it is going to be a hum dinger, i'll tell you that. >> boy, he said it.

our david mattingly is there. there are a lot of details at the news conference. i thought it was interesting that the sheriff said this is going to go much further beyond the borders of escambia than we thought and i understand you have the sheriff with you. >> reporter: he called this a hum dinger that prompted all sorts of questions, does that mean the scope, complexity, the money involved, the people involved. he said yes to efg. this is a case with the complexity they have not seen here in at least the last five years. sheriff, what can you tell me when you call this a hum dinger, was this murder and this break in at this one particular home, was this part of something bigger going on that you hadn't anticipated? >> we can't release specifics but the answer to that question is yes. what we have discovered is this case is multifassetted.

as i explained a home invags, a home invasion can be a burglary, a burglary for drugs, an armed robbery. it is a home invasion. we are finding in this investigation its complexity and the avenues like trying to establish a motive, we have multiple motives at this point. we cannot come up with one motive or two motives. when we run that one motive it brampbls to several others so the complexity is growing exponentially. >> you said it was like a movie script, the more you went the more plot twists. >> and players. >> you started with three persons of interest. how many people are you looking for. >> we are prepared to say there are multiple involved. >> is there any indication this was part of an ongoing operation where other residents may have

been affected as well? >> no, sir. this case started as a result sadly of this double murder and so the other areas that are being brought into this was not ongoing crimes, if you will, that we were aware of. >> we need to make clear mr. gonzalez is a resident of this area and he is not challenged in the home invasion or in the murders. >> exactly. >> he is charged with tampering with evidence. what exactly is he accused of doing? >> mr. gonzalez altered the van we identified as being used in the commission of the double murder. that is tampering with evidence in a murder case. the state attorney's office was comfortable starting with that charge with mr. gonzalez. >> there you have it. sheriff david morgan of escambia county, a big and complex case that started with a double murder and home invasion. don. >> david, real quickly, the sheriff said they were confident more arrests will be made.

does he have any idea how soon that could happen? >> reporter: he wasn't able to tell us before, since we have the camera on you and have you on the hot seat now, can you tell us when we can expect more arrests in this case? all day yesterday and today you were saying we will probably have something for you soon? has that changed? have you got anything more specific ? >> we are now picking up speed in this investigation and i would say in the ensuing days, i can't promise you an arrest every day, we will have many more arrested forthcoming. >> there you go, don. this is apparently one very big and complicated mess they are beginning to untangle, one arrest so far, leonard gonzalez

arrested for tampering with evidence. we find out was behind this home invasion and double homicide. >> david thank you and thank you to the sheriff as well. also in florida, more breaking news. we are hearing it is official. john zarella, you give the sad news, john. >> reporter: i'm joined by katie coleman, veteran nasa astronaut, flown on two space shuttle missions. she is preparing for a mission to the international space station in november of 2010. we are not going to see one tonight. the weather the bug-a-boo again. cannot fly. >> it's an official scrub. >> reporter: it is an official scrub. it is an official scrub. 6:51 tomorrow night. katie, did you have any scrubs for weather? >> you know, seven times over 30

days. mark's family and the rest of the crew are probably still talking to him, but some people in my family still not talking to me. it is part of the business. launching is part of the business. scrubbing is part of it, too. we go when we are ready. this crew is disappointed. it is harder on the families and guests because their job is to be ready. >> but frustrating no less as a crew member. this is the closest they got to the launch pad. >> it's true. after the scrubs you say, tomorrow when i put that suit on i'm going to do everything i'm supposed to do but i'm not getting excited and you wake up launch morning, you put on the suit and cannot help but really realize you are in a special place and be excited. >> don, when katie flies the shuttle program will have officially ended she will go up with the russian rocket to the

space station. >> that is correct. >> you have been doing a lot of training for that. >> i have. >> it is different. it is a lot smaller than the space shuttle. >> the guys like me because i'm not huge. >> katie, i wish we could have been broadcasting a launch tonight but those thunderstorms are ominous, don. give it a try again tomorrow night. again, tonight, no go for launch. tomorrow 6:51 p.m. eastern time. >> ah. i was looking forward to seeing it. your heart jumping in a good way. thank you. jacqui jeras, what is up? jacqui, thank you for filling us in. we have other news to tell you about. we told you about the breaking news in florida and the space shuttle. now some other knew. a champion boxer found dead in a hotel room.

obama gave his nominee a good luck phone call this morning. we have a preview. >> reporter: a journey that began at the white house now heads to the capitol hill for supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor. >> i hope as the senate and american people learn more about me, they will see that i am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences. >> reporter: senate democrats who have the votes to confirm sotomayor are expected to highlight her personal story to win favor, growing up poor in bronx public housing and going on to an ivy league education and now possibly the first latina supreme court justice. ken dupersteen advised several high court nominees. >> give an awful lot on your

personal life and values but also your impartiality. >> reporter: conservatives have a difficult task ahead, challenging sotomayor's record without coming across as attacking her. republicans are expected to ask tough questions about sotomayor's views on gun rights, abortion and republicans think they have a better chance taking on her off the bench statement like this 2005 comment at duke university. >> court of appeals is where policy is made. i know this is on tape and i know we shouldn't say that because we don't make law. >> reporter: and her statement that a wise latina woman would make a better conclusion than a white male. jeff sessions is the senior republican. >> she has advocated a view that personal experiences even prenl diss, she uses that word, would

influence the decision you make which is a blow at the very ideal of american justice. >> reporter: democrats including the committee's chair will no doubt come quickly to sotomayor's defense. >> she has the experience and the cases to show her as a mainstream judge. anything else is nitpicking. >> reporter: sources working with closely with sotomayor have intensified her prep sessions in the past week trying to make sure she's ready. president obama said he wants her confirmed before congress leaves for its august recession. >> as kate reported, democrats have the votes they need to approve sotomayor. that doesn't mean her opponents are giving up. the anti-abortion group is mounting a 12-city defeat sotomayor tour kicking off outside the supreme court building on capitol hill. we will have complete coverage for the supreme court nominee

hearings for sonia sotomayor this week. live on cnn, starting tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern. 10:00 a.m. eastern. serious allegations against former vice president cheney today from the chairman of the senate intelligence committee. senator dianne feinstein says current cia director leon panetta said cheney once ordered the cia to withhold information from lawmakers about a secret counterterrorism program. a democratic colleague says the report is troubling. >> if, as the "new york times" says, we had the vice president of the united states telling people to break the law, that is a serious matter. either he did or he didn't. if he did that is something we ought to know because i have been here for six administrations. usually if something is done wrong by one and it is exposed the next one tends to behave

themselves. >> a republican senator casts doubts on the claims about cheney. he pointed to a recent washington dustup involving the democratic speaker of the house. >> this, of course, comes on the heels of a statement unproven by the way of speaker pelosi that the speaker lied to her about enhanced interrogation techniques. this looks to me suspiciously like an attempt to provide political cover to her and others. >> the report about former vice president cheney first appeared in the "new york times." cnn has been unable to reach cheney for comment. there is no arguing that the people in michigan have been hit hard by this recession. now a new plan is underway to get some of these men and women back to work. the plan is coming there hollywood. contain a nitrogen-enriched cleaning system... that seeks and destroys engine gunk... left by lower-quality gasoline. it protects engines from performance-robbing gunk. try new nitrogen-enriched shell gasolines.

meeting was quickly put together at the club. when it was over the swim club agreed to try to work thing out with the daycare center following allegations that racist comments were made to some of the minority children. as the president's wife put it, as long as we can work out safety issues we would like to have them back. the club has apologized for what happened but denies racism is why it canceled a contract to allow black and hispanic children to use its pool once a week for an hour and a half. the club's director says the pool was overcrowded and they were worried about safety t. club's president issued a statement saying the kids changed the atmosphere and complex of the club. he apologized and called it a poor choice of words. formal complaints have been filed. i asked the day care's director what she thought of today's

offer to smooth things out. in her words they should have done that before. those children are scarred. how can i take those children back there. the daycare center's lawyer will seriously consider the offer. it is hoped the matter can be resolved. >> what about the timing with the meeting and the statements? >> the fact of the matter is this swim club had been under a lot of pressure. it had been in the national media spotlight for days. there were protests outside the club. they had to move a swim meet because of the controversy. they had been in discussions with a lawyer and they got advice and this is what resulted. >> we shall see what happens. susan candiotti, thank you. dozens of families are

scrambling for information about the graves and remains of loved ones in chicago. four former burr oak cemetery have been charged with digging up to bodies to resell burial plots. the cemetery has been declared a crime scene. meantime, the reverend jesse jackson organized a vigil. police suspect that 100 graves have been dug up. my heart goes out to those folks. saying goodbye to a loved one is hard enough. imagine trying to relive it. cnn cheryl jackson spoke with one family about this story from alsup, illinois.

>> i don't understand how people can do that. >> they have no -- they are piled up on top of each other in one area. >> reporter: these sisters and their niece janet joseph say they have about 40 family members at burr oaks cemetery. >> this is their oldest son, our brother, lloyd. this is my sister ursine manning. >> reporter: one funeral program after another shows where their loved ones were laid to rest. >> when we buried them, they are at peace now. so we can't even say they are at peace now because they dug up their remains and done who knows what. >> reporter: four burr oak employees are responsible for digging up graves and reselling them. remains are scattered throughout the grounds. >> as long as my relatives have been out there, they may have dug them up and put something on top of them. >> reporter: there may be more than one body in some graves. this woman believes her mother

grave was targeted. >> they go so far as to dismember the bodies, the bones and put it somewhere else. it is like a serial killer to me. >> reporter: it is already hard enough to bury your mother once, what if you have to do it again? >> you know what, i haven't thought about it again. if i have to bury her again. i haven't thought about that. >> we have so many questions. we have a lot of questions. we are going to hold hands and pray whatever need to be done we will do it. >> did you hear that? she said it was like a serial killer. they don't know how many bodies. it could be thousands. in many cases there are no records. we're going to follow this story here on cnn. a lot of people are talking about this. a lot of people are talking about the stories we are putting on as well. someone is talking about the cheney story.

from andrea 65 ss. that cheney story is no surprise to me. talk about evil doers, hope he goes down in flames. the cemetery the launch of the shuttle. voice of the truth said too bad it was delayed again. one of those astronauts went to my high school. wow. those parents seem like great people. my prayers are with the children. cal1637 said as a police officer i'm really interested in who and why that couple was killed. probably who killed that couple and why he was meant to say. you only have 147 characters so we understand when you shorten it that way. we want you to be part of our community. twitter, myspace, facebook and ireport.com. it is outrageous and some say it is over the line. meet this guy. not him. we are talking about bruno.

the new film by sasha and baron cohen are not laughing. cathy hughes and her story and how she ended up homeless and made her way back to the top. sou know we've adjusted a lot of the different processes we have in place such as rolling out more innovative products to really meet the needs of the customers. we actually move with the economic times. customers who maybe have lost their jobs, we're looking at waiving fees for them. we've introduced add it up. our risk free cd. it's one stop shopping for all the answers they're looking for. you just kind of have to learn to, just you know, just be there. that's how we keep moving.

updating our developing stories on cnn. to the left of your screen that is the space shuttle "endeavour." the mission has been scrubbed for today, i should say the launch has been scrubbed for today because of weather problems. they will try again for tomorrow. we will carry it on cnn when it does get off the ground. we will tell you about what is happening in escambia county, florida. a suspect has been named and arrested in the case of two parents who have been killed. he is not charged with murder or in connection with the killings of these two people. he is charged with tampering

with evidence. leonard patrick gonzalez. sheriff's deputies hope to make numerous arrests soon in that case. >> california has had to issue ious to cover some bills. state lawmakers and governor arnold schwarzenegger has made progress on closing their $26 billion budget deficit. they are back at work this hour looking at ways to squeeze savings from education, welfare and expensive social programs. today's talks are expected to last for several hours. it is known more for cars than for movies but with unemployment at more than 14% and the auto entry struggling the state is rolling out the red carpet to hollywood film crews. there is just one problem. poppy harlow has more. that caught my attention. hollywood film crews. are they trying to get their cars in movies, free advertising? what is going on?

>> not exactly. this is about bringing jobs to michigan. we could see detroit changing from the motor city to the movie city. you have over 14% unemployment in michigan. a huge underemployment problem there is help coming from an unexpected place. take a look. don't be surprised to see george clooney or robert de niro in michigan. the hollywood a-listers have joined clint eastwood to make major motion pictures in the embattled state. >> we are focused on the creative economy, whether it is film making. >> if i have to come back here again it is going to be ugly. >> clint eastwood's "gran torino" takes place close to detroit. a 42% tax break for studios that

hire local workers rather than bring in their own crews. sounds great, but even though michigan have a skilled labor force most don't have any experience working on film sets. enter mort mizer in and the center for film studies, the school gives michigan workers the chance to hone their skills to meet the needs of movie execs. >> i don't think hollywood woke up this morning and decided, hey, let's go to michigan. they are coming to michigan because the tax sunsets are here. >> reporter: a full course isn't cheap, it cost five grand. 75% of the workers are getting funding from no worker left behind program. these workers who used to build homes are learning how to build sets. >> it seems like the movies are coming here. there is a demand for carpenters. i want to be right there. >> the real mission pure and

simple is leave a legacy of jobs. >> boy, could michigan use some of those jobs, don. not a movie mecca, but the state has made progress. 35 films were made in michigan that brought in $125 million revenue. some impressive returns so far. >> very good. i'm sure people are optimistic. are they encouraged they are going to get work? i hope so. >> we spent the day from construction workers and they said the next day they got freelance work for $300 a day, for a pilot that a network was filming in detroit. they were working the day after that class ended. they are positive. this is still a small slice but it is hope and we like to show you the good news as well. >> hey, poppy, congratulations, you know what i'm talking about. nothing weird, guys. she is not getting weird. she is finally in the same spot with someone i like.

>> oh, thanks. >> i made you blush. we'll check the brouhaha over bruno plus jacqui jeras updates your work week forecast. we hope it is good.

>>. >> two u.s. marines were killed in afghanistan, victims of improvised explosive devices, part of an anti-taliban offensive in helmand province. 647 troops have died in afghanistan since 2001. president barack obama sat down exclusively with our anderson cooper. a throng of people bid farewell to the president and first family and they departed ghana on air force one. before the president left sub-saharan africa, he spoke about war crimes in afghanistan. >> it seems clear the bush administration resisted evidents of an african-american war lord

on the cia payroll. hundreds of taliban prisoners were killed, some suffocated in steel containers, others buried in mass graves. would you call for an investigation in afghanistan? >> implications that this was not properly investigated has recently been brought to my attention. i asked many national security team to collect the facts and we will make a decision how to approach it once we have the facts gathered. >> you wouldn't resist categorically an investigation? >> i think there are responsibilities all nations have in war. if it appears our conduct in some way supported violations of the laws of war then i think that we have to know about that. >> you can see anderson's exclusive interview, that

exclusive conversation with president obama tomorrow night, "ac 360." he will share his access to the president. 10:00 p.m. eastern only here on cnn. in iraq more religious intolerance, instead of sunni versus shiia, insurgents are targeting christian houses of worships. six churches have been bombed in and around baghdad. four people killed, dozens more wounded. u.s. forces pulled back from major iraqi cities earlier this month. jacqui jeras is on top of the weather and will tell us why the mission is scrubbed. i'm getting so many tweets people saying ah. >> i know. thormts are close. >> they want them to be safe. >> better safe than sorry. we are going to go again tomorrow. there is a chance of sea breeze

thunderstorms again tomorrow so probability about the same in terms of what the chances are. about a 30% chance of the launch being inhibited by the weather. showers and thunderstorms lit up on the radar map. this complex of thunderstorms, we have been watching this thing for about 12 hours. continuing to march its way akros parts of kentucky and tennessee. nashville, we want to warn you, you may be an hour away from strong to severe thunderstorms rumbling through that could produce wind damage along with heavy downpours. stay tight tonight and sit where you are so if siren dos go off. showers and thundershowers around the atlanta metro area. a strong line across western parts of georgia. if you have travel plans, bummer for you.

at hartsfield there is a delay. the heat continues to build across the southern plains states. the heed advisories remain in effect from kansas extending toward the houston area. the heat is starting to spread farther to the east. expect this to persist for another couple of days. the storms did not cause problems for a launch yesterday for the blue angels. we were able to bring you a couple of these pictures. an incredible show and amazing shots. you could see the pilots eye level from the balcony of condos out there. >> amazing. every year in chicago was the air and water show. you could see the faces. i'm surprise they let that happen in a major city right now but keep doing it. >> makes you nervous. >> very exciting to watch. all right, jacqui, got to go. breaking barriers in the

she built a radio empire and broke barriers in broadcasting and believe me, it wasn't easy. at one point she ended up homeless. cathy hughes, up from a past, she is an african-american first. >> our responsibility as dictated and mandated by the federal communications commission is to serve the public interest. >> cathy hughes is living the dream, one she has had since growing up in omaha, nebraska. >> i knew it when my mother

bought my the transistor radio. if i were in the clergy they would call it a calling. >> a calling that inspired her to work her way through the hardscrabble, male dominated radio business. her first gig was at a nebraska radio station. a job at howard university would help shape her destiny, moving her to washington, d.c. >> i didn't want to be on the other side of the radio running things. i wanted to be on that microphone and the first black woman with a nationally syndicated radio show. >> in 1973 hughes became sales director of the university's struggling radio station whur fm. by the time she left in 1979 she was general manager and said she boogsed whur's revenue from $300,000 to $3.5 million. >> this was the greatest opportunity in my life. >> it gave her the confidence to

buy a small d.c. radio station wol and start her own company called radio one. it wasn't easy. >> black folks weren't borrowing millions of dollars and women were not able to get a million-dollar loan and i was under 30. so i had all of these things going against me. >> against her professionally and personally. her marriage ended in divorce. but her newly found single mother status would end up helping her career. because of the quiet storm. >> the quiet storm. i had all these girlfriends who on friday night would be calling up each other saying let's get together. let's go out. that's not my idea of an exciting friday evening. my idea is a good-looking brother like you, going out to dinner, going to a movie, doing stuff and having some intellectual exchange and so i created the quiet storm for my

girlfriends so they would have companionship. >> people targeting d.c.'s black community with an all talk format. >> it is the african-american community of washington, d.c., that has kept this country functioning, running, and no one allowed a voice. no one covered the greatness of their community. the only thing that we ever got from the media in washington, d.c., was a crack house being raided or someone being shot, stabbed or robbed. >> a risky move for which she took a lot of flack. >> wol, we're in the business of keeping our doors open. our bottom line is our number one consideration. we're not here to bring you something that is of displeasure. >> i'm fighting white advertisers who are telling me the black folks don't want news and information. and i'm fighting black folks would are afraid they're going to be embarrass philadelphia they start expressing themselves. >> hugh has the will power and

drive. she didn't know how to manage money. the fledgling radio mogul almost lost it all ending up homeless, living in her office with a sleeping bag for a bed. >> i'm washing up in the public bathroom and going to a girlfriend's house i grew up with in omaha, nebraska, taking my showers in the evening and washing up in the morning in the public bathroom. >> did your staff know? >> oh, yes. absolutely they knew. i was cooking on a hot plate. >> as the bank threatened foreclosure, at the final meeting, hughes clung to her faith. >> i prayed this prayer that god would just use me to say the right thing. i stood up and said to them that they did not have the power to foreclose on me. that i felt that god had me on a mission to provide a voice for black people. >> her prayers were answered. she says the government-run small business administration came up with a payment plan that included a finance lesson in exchange for her teaching it to others. soon wol began turning a profit, enough to buy other radio

stations in d.c. and eventually around the country. in 2004, she launched tv-one, also targeting a black audience. and hughes is the first african-american woman to head a company publicly traded on a u.s. stock exchange. is it more about fate or is it more about passion and drive? >> it's a combination. i think that you have to have the passion and drive when you are able to earn a living in something that turns you on, that excites you, that stimulates you, that inspires you, it's not work. >> the little girl who fell asleep listening to her transistor radio now owns the airwaves. cathy hughes is an african-american first. >> boy, it was a joy interviewing her. thank you, cathy. sorry it took so long. we had breaking news with the michael jackson death. an african-american first. it airs every sunday night here on cnn, 7:00 and 10:00 p.m.
