on cnn. don't go anywhere. top story, next in the "cnn newsroom." have a great weekend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com all right. from the cnn center this is cnn saturday morning, july 25th. good to see you. i'm t.j. holmes. >> i'm brooke baldwin, in your betty. 10:00 a.m. here in atlanta. 9:00 a.m. in chicago. 7:00 m for folks waking up bright and early in los angeles. let's talk health care. an issue we've been talking about this past week, affecting every single one of us. our health, our health care and how do we pay for it? president obama trying to push hard to push his plan and focusing with challenging in his morning's radio address. >> turning this into health care, another issue, you know it

now. cambridge police versus a black harvard professor. well, everybody's got him backing down, the president trying to calm everybody down, but charles ogletree the attorney for the professor involved spoke to me yesterday and again trying to tell everybody, calm down. this isn't really all about race. >> he's feeling this sense of indignity that people feel every day and if has nothing to do with race. there are people who feel powerless when they've done everything they can legally to protect themselves. >> not all about race. we'll get into that a little more a little later. also, if you didn't get a chance to see "black america 2" this week, shame on you. you missed a lot. also missed a very emotional moment between ka median d.l. hughley and his teacher. got choked up talking about the teacher that made a big difference in his life. >> why is what he's saying upsetting you so much? >> because i was this close to never making it. never being nothing.

>> amazing tears. talking about this guy 38 years ago. talk about that, and our question to you this morning, did you have a teacher who inspired you to do great things? we want to hear about them. e-mail us. drop us a line on facebook and go to cnn.com. and president obama on the radio for health care reform. he's done this almost every day the past couple of weeks taking his message to the american vote. on capitol hill, pushing for reform, bogged down a bit. democratic leaders can see they will not be able to meet the president's deadline of getting this thing passed by next month before they leave for recess. the president says that delay can't be allowed to doom the reform. >> now, i know there are those who you are urging to us belabor this and some admitted this is a tactic designed to stop any reform at all. some suggested that regardless of its merit, health care reform

should be stopped as way to prevent political damage on my administration. only to explain than to it american people. what i'm concerned about is the damage being done right now to the health of our families, the success of our businesses and the long-term fiscal stability of our government. >> and our kate bolduan joins us now from the white house. kate, good morning to you. the president was pretty ambitious say heg wanted this thing done before august, and a lot of people, they didn't want to go home necessarily talking about the vote they just made on health care, depending how it played out. so not going to happen by august. is it in trouble down the road now? >> reporter: that's a good question, t.j. now the president is setting a new deadline. congress says they'll missing the president's deadline. the president now setting a new deadline saying he wants a health care bill on his desk by the end of this year, but how congress and the white house is going to get there is a very hard question to answer right now. there's a lot of disagreement, a

lot of debate going on on capitol hill having to do with many of the proposals that are coming out and especially talking about the cost, the price tag, and how to bring the price of this reform down. well, at the very same time that is happening, the plaed been out in front of the cameras all this week and in the past week, town hall, press conferences, tv interviews. really get out there in front of the cameras trying to keep the focus on health care and keep their message out there that says the need for health care reform right now, and he's really out there just trying to make the case on the part of the white house. that really effectively sums up the white house approach at this point. privately talking with members and lawmakers on capitol hill, trying to work out where they can negotiate, where they can give and take, where the common ground is. publicly they're putting the president out there, directly to the american people, t.j., saying this needs to get done and this is where we stand. >> the president --

>> the democrats' health care plan is largely behind closed doors isn't the right thing. it's a prescription for disaster. one that will put washington bureaucrats in charge of your family's personal medical decisions. medical decisions that are some of the most personal decisions you'll ever make. >> we jumped the gun a little there, but that is -- we, of course, this is how we do live tv, t.j. that is republican congresswoman rogers, delivered the republican weekly address today, and she basically, the president was talking this morning in his weekly address about the need for health care reform focusing on small business and how he says the white house plans, the democratic plan will help small businesses who are struggling to offer health insurance to employees. the republican response saying basically that they absolutely disagree and say this health care reform proposals out there's right now are going to hurt small businesses and the public more than help it.

>> hopefully everybody agrees, the need for reform is there. everybody just disagreeing how to go about it right now. kate bolduan, sorry we jumped the gun but you handled it nicely. thank you so much. see you shortly. and health care reform has been the top of the agenda. we saw the president speaking wednesday night in primetime and then asked by journalists at the tail end of that about what happened in cambridge, that arrest involving a harvard professor, henry gates, arrested in his own home. >> okay. now the thing was already, had gotten going pretty well. once the president in a primetime news conference handled it the way he did added fuel to the fire. so much so that the cambridge police department call ford an apology from the president and yesterday the president tried to different fuse the situation a bit by surprising us all by, we thought we about to see robert gibbs, the press secretary walk if nor a routine daily briefing and we saw -- >> mr. obama. this is what we saw. >> i want to address you defy directly, because over the last

day and a half obviously there's been all sorts of controversy around the incident that happened in cambridge with professor gates and the police department there. i actually just had a conversation with sergeant jim crowley, the officer involved, and i have to tell you that as i said yesterday, my impression of him was that he was an outstanding police officer, and a good man, and that was confirmed in the phone conversation and i told him that. and i, because this has been ratcheting up and i obviously helped to contribute ratcheting it up, i want to make clear that in my choice of words that i think i unfortunately gave an impression that i was maligning the cambridge police department

or sergeant crowley specifically. and i could have calibrated those words differently. and i told this to sergeant crowley. i continue to believe based on what i have heard that there was an overreaction in pulling professor gates out of his home and to the station. i also continue to believe based on what i heard that professor gates probably overreacted as well. my sense is you've got two good people in a circumstance in which neither of them were able to resolve the incident in a way it should have been resolved and the way they would have liked it to be resolved. >> all right. i want to turn now to elaine quijano, in cambridge right now and elaine, we just heard the

president. heard him yesterday, just heard him again, trying to explain himself and trying to back away from some of the comments he made. he stop short of saying he made an apology to sergeant crowley. but still, how does the cambridge police department and the community there respond to what they heard the president say? is that good enough? >> reporter: well, you know, t.j., it certainly would seem so. the president's comments were really well receive here in massachusetts. as you can imagine, this is a story that is front page news today. no exception today. take a look at the front page of "the boston globe." obama moves to quell" the headline here. you can believe when president obama was speaking yesterday, there were a lot of eyes, police officers, watching, glued to their tv sets. one of them was a police sergeants, leon lashley, the cambridge police department. now, he actually responded along with sergeant crowley to this and said when the president

spoke, he told our don lemon yesterday, that when the president spoke, there were cheers, there were high fives and he says it was like the air h was let out of the bubble. >> that's what he needed to do and i'm glad he de it. i, like i said i will always support him, because that's the president that i chose, i voted for, and there were other people who said, i'm not going to vote for him now. everybody says things, people do things, nobody's perfect. that's what, we live in a world where nobody's actually perfect. we all need to think. if you confront them and honestly you can overcome them. >> reporter: and keep in mind, a little perspective, sergeant lashley is the same person who said he supports sergeant crowley's actions 100%. he said there was nothing rogue about what sergeant crowley did. clearly officers here in massachusetts, t.j., want to move on in a statement in a

police union saying sergeant crowley is pro foundly grateful the president tried to resolve the situation and went on to say it's clear the president respects police officers. t.j.? >> ate of people want to move on and still before we move on, elaine quijano in cambridge, thank you so much. in our next hour, next half hour, we'll hear from gates' attorney and also speaking live with the daughter. a bank, a military hospital and a police center all of them targets in a series of suicide attacks near afghanistan's border with pakistan. one afghan official saying at least five, that's the number we're hearing now, five taliban members carried out these bombings in the city of khost. and the couple of the month, sarah palin has been a lightning rod for opponents. champion for her conservative supporters in 2006 has been the

governor of alaska. as are tomorrow palin walks away from the governor's job and into an unknown political future. a chat with an anchor with our affiliate state ktva joining us all the way from anchorage, alaska. good morning to you. can you hear me, matthew? oh, sounds like he can't hear me. hopefully we can -- hopefully we can get matthew. let's go to break, wok on this and be right back.

pretty pictures of atlanta. you can still see some of the windows out on the building, the tornado we had, what, two years ago? >> a reminder, a good year and a half -- >> a while back. >> and now what, talking tornado in florida and 163 homes? >> yeah. 163 homes damaged. seven of them beyond repair. completely demolished. what's amazing, though, although that's the bad news. the good news, only one person hurt and only minor injuries. in fact, cut from flying glass. could have been far worse. what they're dealing with this morning a big cleanup. look at city we have for you. widespread damage, power outages across the region. this is near port orange in

volusia county. converging sea breeze, that with day time heating, strong thunderstorms and of course possible tornados. you see right there, kmg, our affiliate in orlando. great shots to show you later of a waterspout. part of, one of possibly several tornadoes that went through the region. we could see more of that today in the region. the reason why is pretty simple. frontal boundary actually that's begun to lose a bit of its umph. strong this morning, going through parts of columbus, right now in columbus, ohio, scattered showers. a good part of the south north of richmond and near hamilton seeing scattered showers and storms pop up. the reason for that is because of the front's boundary. go back a little bit more to the west across parts of the central plains and into big sky country, could see strong storms develop into the afternoon. damaging winds a possibility. a better possibility would be large hail. be mindful of tornadoes.

stay on guard in big sky country. parts of texas, desert southwest, temperatures going up. high temperatures headed for 101 degrees in dallas. 96 in houston. 78 in denver. 91 in salt lake city. a cool day for you. a cool day, all things, las vegas. high, 98 degrees. 104 in phoenix. 75 in minneapolis. 80 in chicago. new york and boston mainly into the 80s. 92, washington, d.c. tampa and mill, high temperatures mainly into the 80s to 90s. keep in mind, florida, later today we could see more of that converging sea breeze, that coupled with daytime heating could see another round of thunderstorms. certainly not what you want to deal with when your power's out. >> all right. >> appreciate it. as always, thank you. >> anytime. well we just got information about this plane that basically had to undergo an emergency landing in boston. took off from boston, supposed to go to puerto rico. wound up back in boston, boston

logan airport at 9:30 this morning an smoke was reported in the bathroom in the cargo area. about 185 people were told, aboard according to the affiliate. hopefully they were get all the folks off the plane, on a new plane and back off to puerto rico. >> probably vacation for a lot of people. certainly a vacation spot. you see some of the emergency vehicles rushing to the scene, making their way. no idea what caused this thing, what caused this. not necessary afire but smoke reported. timing wise, the one leaving around 8:30 from logan. to turn around. folks starting vacation knop word of anybody injured on that plane. don't exactly know what's going on but that is the plane that has landed safely. keeping aen eye on it. sty with us. we'll be right back.

sarah palin. the governor of the state of alaska since 2006. popular governor. a popularity rating somewhere in the 90-point category but has become an overriding figure. announced a couple week ago that she'll be stepping down from the state's top spot. so what's next for sarah palin? let's ask anchor kpga joining me from alaska this morning via matthew. good to hear you now. my first question for you, do we know, you and i chat add couple week ago. july 4th. heard the day prior to that, she made the surprising announcement, sarah palin would be stepping down. do we know yet what's next for her? >> reporter: i know there's a lot of -- a lot of conjecture out there what exactly happens next, but there has been nothing coming out of her camp. nothing really stirring in the political pot up here in anchorage and in alaska. honestly i'm not sure i

attribute that to some sort of a plan. i think it's just near exhaustion on the part of the governor's office, and i think there is a little bit of confusion. they didn't know that this was all going to happen on july 3rd, and i'm not sure that the path forward is exactly mapped out either but i do know she has grander plans. i just don't know how she's getting her -- a picnic here in anchorage and one more in fairbanks where she make her grand finale. >> so many wondering, postulating what plan b may be. i was reading a number of articles on your website. the anchorage "daily news" national newspapers all talking about her breaking the state ethics while she had such a high popularity rating among also answers. also answer alaskans. are they getting everything that happened in the recent months? are they happy to see her go? or sad?

>> reporter: well, you know, alaska's a big state. i've been to a lot of different parts of it the past couple week. i get a mix of anger, frustration, a mix of what else is happening here? it's been three weeks. how can we miss you when you won't go abap a lot of different viewpoints up here. when it comes to the ethics complaints that was deemed legitimate this week doesn't have national legs. pretty much, six months from now, the complaint that came out this week, being legitimate does, takes away the talking point these are all frivolous and baseless. because when you contract out to an independent investigator and he finds it to have merit, you really lost that thought. what she can still go on, she can go on the fact that she was a reformer. she was somebody who broke a lot of ground in alaska, and the main sense i get here in alaska, from the voters here, is that they are -- they wonder what

happened from the sarah they had a year ago. the sarah of a year ago was, not to borrow a phrase from long time ago, the uniter not the divider. when she grabbed ahold of the national ticket she became more of a political figure. her personal style didn't necessarily jive with the way that she ran as v.p. and never was able to down shift into the former gear and go back to that. ke79 on the attack on the attack on the attack, and it didn't work. >> perhaps her legacy least in alaska sounds like will be mixed, some people angry with her and perhaps from a year ago, and scott pardon knell, stepping into the spot. has should we expect? >> a more traditional fella. he will be more of a friend of industry than governor palin was, because she thought to clean out some of the mess with the oil business up here and natural gas, but i think when it

comes to personality, we're not looking at another guy who's bucking for d.c. out of parnell. and calling him agent zero. it was the contact of a poker race, but he's in alaska. he'll stay here. >> matthew, as soon as you get the scoop where sarah palin is headed next, give us a call. >> reporter: we just want to know what sweat shirt she's wearing in anchorage at this point. >> what sweat shirt she's wearing? >> last time in priscilla wearing new england patriots. we don't know if she'll break out the mavericks sweatshirt or what. >> right. thanks. >> a sweatshirt. >> washington? >> all right. well, we're going to talk more about health care reform here. as the nation continues to debate we focus on the uninsured

and the horrible killer, breast cancer. this week fighting to get uninsured women the preventative care they need and catch it in its early 125i67s. stages. in 2004 i was diagnosed with breast cancer. initially there's shock. but i realized how blessed i was to have health insurance. it made me think about all the women who didn't have health insurance. i wanted to make a difference in their lives. i'm andrea ivory, and i'm fighting breast cancer in south florida one household at a time. the florida breast health initiative is an outreach organization. we're targeting working class people. we're going to make a difference in your states and lives. we had to take it to the streets. we feel like little pixies spreading breast cancer awareness. can i ask you a few questions? we target women that are 35 years or older and make appointments on the spot for a

free mammogram. i look forward to seeing you. i'll be there. bring in the mobile mammography van into the local neighborhood is one of the most important facets of the work we do. we provide a service that is so needed. >> i know i'm saving lives. >> it's free. some come right over and get it. >> is the lady of the house at home? we're giving free mammograms on the 25th. >> i feel like, okay. thank you so much. >> i would say saved from breast cancer to save other women. every time i knock on a door, it's another opportunity to save a life.

all right. head over to reynolds wolf. these tornadoes, new pictures. >> sent in by rebecca owen. on vacation, right on florida's east coast. normally a vacation, sit back, relax. these are unnerving.

not exactly relaxing type to see this tornado to move from land to open water. you see it in the distance. the beach in the foreground. and for boating, often this is part of the same system that caused damage to over 163 homes leveling seven of them and injuring one person. another great shot you have. notice right here some of that water being pulled right up into the cloud itself. there, of course, is the funnel right here on this side. what we're going to be seeing as we look at these other picture, just the progress of this actually forming. falling apart and reforming. that one's pretty well defined there. some of the other pictures you'll see, looks like any other day at the beach. in the foreground. right there in the center of the picture you see that funnel beginning to fizzle away. an amazing sight. not unusual to see this on the coast. a lot of times, clear air. two types of waite spouts.

basic and tornadic. this would be in the second category as tornadic water spout. that's the latest. back to you. amazing pictures. >> amazing. thanks, reynolds. and back to a story that is to a lot of people moving forward and glad it is. the fallout after a noted harvard professor is arrested at his home. yesterday we saw the president of the united states come out and try to calm everybody down a bit. well, professor gates' attorney sounded like he was trying to do the same thing when he sat down with me. take a listen. >> did professor gates do anything wrong? not in a legal sense and break some law, but did he do anything long as a citizen, as an upstanding citizen, as responsible citizen and not give due reverence to the police officer? >> no. of course he's angry. he's given two forms of identification at his house. he said i am who i am, and he said, awe know, all he asked, he

said, i want to -- you're not listening to me and i want want your badge and number. >> you said he -- you're acknowledging maybe he did come across as upset, animated, belligerent. could that have been interpreted by the officer -- >> i'm not certain how the officer interpreted it. if you ask any homeowner how do you feel in your own house, you produce identification and the officer knows that it's you, how do you feel? i can't imagine many people wouldn't be disappointed. >> is it possible that some would argue as well irs want to ask your opinion, professor gates, is he guilty of some sort of profile as well. sees an officer, a white officer, and seeing it as this officer is out to get him because he's a black man rather than this is just an officer doing his job? >> you've never heard me use the word that the officer -- i said he exercised bad judgment and i

think they. >> do you believe it had nothing to do with race? >> i don't know. we'll find out. there's a lot that hasn't been determined yet and a lot to be determined. the only time that this was not calm is when professor gates said, i'm going to file a complaint. maybe he should have thought that, not said it. once he said i'm going to file a complaint, i'd like to have your name and badge number. the dynamics changed. because that's what he said. and that's repeated over and over gern. he says, why are you doing this? is it because i'm a black man and you're a white police officer? >> saying it as calmly as you're saying it to me? >> well, you can imagine that he's feeling this sense of indignity that people feel every day. >> all right. i want to bring in now on the phone with me elizabeth gates. the daughter of professor henry gates. she can give insight into what's going on. pretty good access to him. ma'am, thank you for being with me here. first tell me the reaction your dad had to what the president came out and said yesterday.

>> my father was happy that the president actually reinforced his original sentiment which was to resolve this head-on. my father extended himself to sergeant crowley originally. right as this kind of hit the media. my father extended himself privately and through his lawyer charles ogletree to resolve it early on. he was very thankful that the president's reinforcement actually got sergeant crowley at least considering attempting a resolution. >> those overtures were objected, you're saying, by sergeant crowley in the beginning? >> oh, yes, yes. definitely. and the mayor actually yesterday on cbs had said she, too, had extended the offer to sergeant crowley to come together with my father to resolve this and she said live on cbs that my father had, sure, that he was willing and it was sergeant crowley who was not willing. >> does your father now and,

again, so much to talk about in the heat of the moment and some say both men could have hand theed things athts differently, but is your father seeing things differently now that he'd had a couple days to no doubt get rest, feel better and starting to see things differently? does he see things any differently? >> no. i think my father had a clear idea of what the situation was from the beginning. yesterday officer lashley was on "anderson cooper" and said he only heard escalation of my father's voice after he had sent in several other officers inside my father's house. so even before my father was arrested on his porch, he was apparently calm. it was only after -- this is officer lashley's quote here saying that after he sent a couple more officers inside, my father's house, is when he heard the escalation. so, no. i think my father had a clear understanding of what was going on. i think officer lashley reiterated that yesterday. >> all right. and i'm going to let you go here now. last thing, if you can quickly.

you understand your dad, his sentiment bet iter than anybody. i think that's dog in the background there. >> yes. sorry about that, actually. >> okay. no, no. that's fine. just tell us how hard of feelings does your dad have now towards the officer? so much has been said and done. is it hard for your dad? is it in him to forgive easily or is he harboring bad feelings towards the officer? >> my father has no feelings towards it's officer who called or sergeant crowley. i think those feelings my father has strongly, i think nobody's in a position to make a character critique of sergeant crowley. it's just an issue of race now. that what his attention is turn towards. >> elizabeth gates, thank you for taking time out of your schedule there in martha's vineyard and take care of toto

back there. take care and reminder, if you missed "black in america 2" can you see it again in its entirety. running it tonight and tomorrow night, 8:00 eastern, 5:00 pacific. the man calling the shots for u.s. troops in iraq and in afghanistan is saying he newspapererable challenges remain in iraq, accepting security right now in the war torn nation and sat down and spoke exclusively with cnn arwa damon in baghdad. >> reporter: even though the u.s. is reducing its combat role in iraq, the american general in charge of both iraq and afghanistan told us in an exclusive interview that iraq is still the center of the fight against international terrorism. >> you have the al qaeda connection, senior leadership and the tribal areas of western pakistan stemmed into afghanistan threaten pakistan and then threaten the rest of the world. links from there to al qaeda in the peninsula, which

re-established itself in south yemen and certainly iraq is in the center of all of this. it's very, very important strategically >> judy: that is mainly because of its location, but also because control of iraq's natural resources. oil and gas. it's so strategically important. the general served nearly four years as a commander in iraq was one of the main orchestrators of america's search strategy there. he says there are lessons that apply to afghanistan. >> some of the lessons are very obvious. again, you shouldn't start clearing until you have your plan to hold and build. it wasn't just the surge. it wasn't just 30,000 more forces here. the employment of those forces in a manner that focused on security of the people and did it by living with the people and then also sought to help the process of reconciliation, because you cannot kill and capture your way out of this kind of endiver. >> reporter: and that realization swi america appointed another strategy in iraq it wants to carry over.

reaching out to its enemies. in afghanistan, the taliban. >> there has always been activity at local levels, which one would characterize the reaching out to elements that were willing to be part of the solution instead of a continuing part of the problem. >> reporter: those efforts though not yet on the scale of what they were in iraq in respect is the realization when it comes to combating global terror, brute force is not the solution. >> this is not the kind of struggle where you kill or capture the bad guy, take the hill, plant the flag and go home to a victory parade. at end of the day it is about education. it is about, in a sense, accepting mod dern it ity, pragmatic leadership of countries, and that's the ultimate solution and that's why again i mentioned that this takes ahold of government's approach. you just can't kill or capture

everybody. you have to kill or capture the condition. >> cnn's arwa damon joining me live from baghdad. what i'm getting from general petraeus, he is saying some of the al qaeda operatives are most definitely connected to operatives not only in afghanistan but other countries as well? >> reporter: very much so, and that is actually why what happens here in iraq is so critical, because the u.s. and the international community cannot afford to successfully combat these terrorists elements in one nation. only to have them pop back up in another area, and that is why what happens in iraq is so important, because it did have such a strong insurgent terrorist militia presence here. general petraeus is here trying to assess right now exactly how to handle the security portfolio from the u.s. control to iraqi control is going, because even though he's saying that things do appear to be relatively

stable right now, al qaeda still pose as threat and the insurgents still pose a threat, as to iranian backed shia police hsias, albeit a lot less than before, but maintaining the security gates is critical. that's why it's so important that as the u.s. begins to draw down, as iraqis take even more control, these gains are not lost. because at the end the day the u.s. military is going to leave iraq and it has to leave behind a sustainable iraq. not just for the recent but for globe security as well. >> and i know arwa you're watching the kurdistan elections, presidential parliamentary elections, pardon me. we'll find out how that shakes out for that entire region. arwa damon live in baghdad. thank you. still coming up, some great news that has nothing to with what you're seeing behind you. we'll explain that later as well. we knew this was going to

happen. a reality show coming your way. we'll explain. also, you want to see, spending a fortune. stay with us.
