regardi ining requirements. we would like enhanced monitoring that includes pressure of the seafloored and around the well head to make sure if there is leakage we are capable of detecting it. we want to make sure there aren't any anomalies. we have a noaa vessel in the area capable of using acoustics to detect a small bubble of methane gas which would be an indicator of leakage from the well floor. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com reynolds wolf joins us from new orleans.

low pressure bad, no pressure good? >> the higher the psi, the higher the pressure. you wonder psi, what that is? that is the pressure per square inch. pounds per square inch. take a look at this. you have a sheet of paper. then you have my iphone, my cell phone, my wallet. if you pile those together, this is roughly one pound per square inch is being pulled down on this pad here. imagine 6,745, that's the latest reading we have in terms of pounds per square inch of force being exerted against that containment cap. it could take up to about 8,000 psi. we want it to be high. if you have a rupture below the

ocean point, the seabore that could be catastrophic. trying to cap that would be almost impossible. there could be a lot of reasons why it's not going up faster. they thought i would go up two to ten psi per hour. the reason why is possibly because it's not quite as strong as it was when it first took place over two months ago. the second thing that may occur is there could be some kind of blockage way down below deeper into the well. either way they've got to keep a close eye it. it's also what they are feeling. they are using seismic graphs to determine any tremor. there could be an indication there could be a rupture underneath. they are looking with the eye like you have with the monitor, t.j. our viewers across america and across the world, but they are also checking out with a couple of other things. they've got a variety of sensors on top of the containment cap.

they also use submersible robots zooming around. over the last couple of takes, all has been well. >> all's well and we are told the test cog go forward. any more word of once the testing is complete whenever it is, which direction they want to go? they want to leave it capped or syphoning the oil yet? >> there is no decision yet. they can go one of two ways. they can keep that cap, and we are talking about a monster cap. they can keep that cap or use some of the valves in the top of the containment lid and syphon that out to the surface to container ships and bring that back to the shore. right now it's up in the air.

interesting to see what decision scientists will make. >> reynolds wolf in new orleans. the u.s. military bars women from combat units. a congresswoman wants that to change since women are getting shot at anyway. she says the policy acts as a glass ceiling. >> reporter: a california congresswoman said if women were allowed into the infantry and other combat jobs it would open up more promotions and better prepare them for attacks and ambushes they are already facing. >> they don't get enough of that training. they don't get enough of that time. >> reporter: the army says all soldiers deployed to iraq and afghanistan get some combat-specific training such as convoy, live fire exercises. reaction to ambush, weapons training, combat life saver training and other skills.

when what is in afghanistan i spoke with someone. >> we do this one drill where we have all our gear on, like a full combat load. we do a whole bunch of pushups and sprint and try to shoot so we understand what it's like to shoot under pressure. >> in the civilian world there is a reason human resource supervisors don't become ceos but sales executives do. they are directly involved in what that business does. >> with respect to our military, it's to fight wars. it is combat. >> reporter: sanchez met with a young male officer she nominated for west point eight years ago. he is about to become a major. >> how has he gotten promoted so quickly? he's done three or four tours already in iraq. he said to me, congresswoman, it's where the battle is. it's where you get promoted. it's where you get to move up. where are the bulk of the four star generals coming out of?

where do the mcchrystals come from? the first female navy officer starts submarine school this fall. the army says more than 90% of its job are open to women, "their service is steeped in tradition and continue dais in greater numbers and with greater positive influence than any time in our nation's history." >> right now the army is in the middle of a review to see who is eligible for all its moss includi including combat specialities. they could shed a new light on this issue. chris lawrence, cnn, pentagon. we turn to new jersey now. rescuers spent the past 24 hours looking for people trapped after a parking garage collapsed. there were no victims inside.

we are just getting that word a short time ago there was a nondiscovery now. we just got this word about a half hour ago. this is in hackensack, new jersey. fire officials told us no one had been detected in the did debris. officials feared one more possibly more trappeded inside. good news no one trapped there. police in illinois have a suspect in custody. they say he drove his car into the front of a bank and set off a bomb inside that car. the bank happened to be closed at the time. they are not sure what he was trying to accomplish. they say the bomb went off while the man was walking away from the car. no one injured here. the man facing felony arson and criminal damage charges. big city police department has a message for citizens. don't call us unless it's really important. what the oakland pd is doing and

(announcer) for people with copd, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both, great news. advair helps significantly improve lung function. while nothing can reverse copd, advair is different from most other medications because it contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help you breathe better. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. i'm glad you came, grandma. oh, me too. if copd is still making it hard to breathe, ask your doctor if including advair will help improve your lung function for better breathing.

all you folks out there got the new iphone. can you hear me now? can you make a phone call on this thing? it is a phone after all. apple did make a pretty big and unusual announcement yesterday trying to fix the antenna problem that could cause to you drop some of your calls. >> one of the most significant critics is saying it is not enough. plus your racks. es. as. cs. ts. ios. .

take a look at some stories making headlines right now. federal agents with a five-state drag net. people accused of ripping off medicare to the tune of $284 million. putting the handcuffs on doctors, executives and health care owners. u.s. attorney general eric holder said medicare scammers should take notice. west virginia governor chooses a young guy to replace the long and serving senator in u.s. history. yesterday in charleston he introduced an attorney

36-year-old art goodwin as temporary replacement for senator robert byrd. the appointment lasts until the next election is held. lesley snipes losing another legal round against r against the u.s. government. unable to sway a u.s. appeals course his three-year prison for tax evasion was heavy handed. the panel upheld the 36-month jail term saying the court acted well within its discretion. from another news conference we kept an eye on yesterday, a lot of people were paying attention as this was about the iphone 4. they were trying again to try to solve all these problems having to do with the antenna and the possibility that you could lose signal strength depending how you hole the phone. let me bring in josh levs now. this is very important. not just to make the customers happy, but you need to make wall street happy and you also need

to make consumer reports happy. they are still not happy. >> it's interesting how "consumer reports" put something out over the past week that you can tell got to apple. we couldn't show you the news conference live yesterday, but let's show you some of the video. apple does not do this. when they have announcements, they plan months in advance. this was a few days in advance. they called this news conference and you can see of the imagery behind steve jobs. as he was talking yesterday he started off by making a big point that he believes it was blown out of proportion. then he talked about what the company will do. >> for those small number of customers having problems, we are going to give them cases, which we think will take care of most problems. for those that still are unhappy, we'll give them a full refund. that's everything we can do to

try to make every customer happy the data supports the fact that the iphone 4 is the best smart phone in the world. >> still pushing the product. there are a lot of people praising it. "consumer reports" said they could not recommend the iphone because of that hardware problem. this line right here if you touch it while holding the phone, the call could go out. they love the phone other than that. ways still pushing it. what they are announcing is they will give people a free bumper case. they cost arnold $30. there are a couple of restrictions. it will only last a few more months. if you bought one already from a third party vendor, then they will not refund you. another part of what is interesting to me as a business what apple is doing. apple gets a ton of great

publicity for all its new products and there is a huge drum up to it. they have an interesting relation to the public and their messaging. >> apple consistently violates every damage control cliche without any consequence. they're secretive, they lash out at consumers. they are entitled, yet at the same time there is the reason why there is no consequence because when you are an insurgent, a bad boy, that is a privilege you have because people will hofb you no matter what you do. now apple is no longer just an insurgent. they are a trend-setting market leader. the behavior of the past has to shift. >> he was talking to us yesterday morning in advance of the news conference. "consumer reports" said this is not enough. this is not enough for them. they don't feel this is enough to start recommending it.

you all are split on this. let me show you some reactions i've been pulling up here. "i think jobs came off as defensive and somewhat condescending. the message should have been positive, but it came off more like, okay, you're crazy, but here's your free bumper." and another one, "not good enough. after paying $200 for 16 gp or $300 for a 32 gb iphone. in addition didn't get an apology for apple's kurt and disrespectful response to the iphone 4 problems." seriously people, why do you have to have an iphone the day it comes out. give it time and see what goes wrong. this is from joel, this it's a freaking phone. he does not owe you a million dollars and a spot in heaven bought $200 police of plastic you bought to look cool does not get satellite transmissions from mars. good real, people."

they sold 1.7 million the first few days and sold at least 3 million so far. >> it's not just the phone. it's an iphone. that's the difference. josh, we appreciate it. thanks so much. some of them were street thugs. other drug addicts. most of all they were absent fathers. a new jersey organization offering these men redemption and not judgment. >> reporter: 57-year-old dawoodward is the first to add mid he wasted 30 years of his life on drugs in jail. >> had no way to go, nowhere to turn to. >> reporter: two years ago he hit bottom. at that moment if somebody had come to you and leaned over and said, you're going to be a teacher. a couple of years you're going to be a teacher, what would you have said? >> no wouldn't have believed it. >> reporter: now you light up when you talk about being a teacher. >> it's possible.

yeah. i'm able to dream again. >> reporter: it was one of those moments fate play as hand. he saw a sign for father's now, a nonprofit group in new jersey teaching men how to get jobs and be good parents. >> this is jason murphy, one of our best graduates. >> reporter: john lesley can relate to his students. drugs, prison, the hope of redemption. this is about getting people another chance? is this about giving people a first chance or about what that sign says, we want our men back? >> basically that. it's basically about family reunification. we want our men back. >> reporter: 09% of ex-cons. it's not a requirement, just reality. out of the 110 guys who applied last semester, only 32 graduated. the majority quit even before classes started. at what point does a man decide,

enough, i want to start living my life in a positive way, the way did you, what it these other men are doing? >> it's a different point for every person. everybody hits bottom. >> for 23-year-old steve, an aspiring tattoo artist, it was when he was fleeing from police. the course was a condition of probation. >> it made me realize a lot of people have a lot worse off than i imagineded myself having. >> reporter: steve's daughter became the star of the class filled with men like keith. after 30 years as a self-described street thug, he now has a heart-time job and is trying to be more of a dad inspired by his son, now a college junior. >> they're my reason for wanting to do better or focus on doing better. >> reporter: do you judge your dad for the kind of life he lived? >> not at all. i like to think every mistake

makes you stronger. >> reporter: do you ever see yourself going back to the life you were living? >> no. >> reporter: because why? >> i have too much to lose. >> reporter: deborah farick, cnn, new jersey. oakland has a list of crimes they won't respond to so don't bother calling.

-so you're thinking...? i agree. preferred. only meineke has options... and now 50% off brake pads and shoes. my money. my choice. my meineke.

we are coming up on the bottom of the hour. a less than reassuring prospect for california. city officials giving 80 police officers walking papers citing deep budget cups. the thinning blue line could get skimpier soon. >> reporter: oakland has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. these images of rioting last week only make the officer reductions less palatable. is this the worst you've seen things at the department? >> yeah. this is terrible. let there be no doubt, the loss of 80 officers is terrible here in oakland. this is a dangerous place to be for a police officer. >> reporter: with 80 officers getting cut, police brass said officers would no longer be able to respond in person for a multitude of calls including car accidents, grand theft and those failing to register as sex offenders. >> we go on the same motto where people say you can do more with

less. we cannot do that. we are going to do less with less. >> reporter: if someone poisons my dog you won't come out? >> correct. >> reporter: no one wanted 80 officers to lose their jobs, but the city facing a $31 million deficit could not reach a compromise with the police officers over pension and the possibility of future lay-offs. the union wanted a guarantee no one would be laid off for at least three years. the city guaranteed one year. >> there is nothing i regret as far as joining the department. one of the top three things in my life other than my daughter being born and being married. >> reporter: jay factora was among those who turned in his badges and weapons. after two towers of duty he joined the force. he hopes the cuts will be temporary. >> this is where i grew up. this is my home. i'll wait until the department hopefully opens the doors back up and allows us to come back. >> reporter: city officials say

next year's deficit could be higher as things set in last night, they blame these current lay-offs on the reluctance of officers to face budget reality. >> there is no agreement. the officers will be laid off today. they rejected our last proposal and they did not give as counter from our last proposal. >> reporter: when you talk about eliminating 08 officers, how do you determine who loses their job? >> how it's determined is by last person hires usually the first person you let go. that's how that was determined. >> reporter: this all comes on the heels of a report by an independent watch dog group which said the city should be hiring more police officers, 400 more police officers to deal with the city's astronomical crime rate that would also put it on par with cities of a similar size. dan simon, cnn, oakland. we've got another shot in the war of words between tea party activist and naacp.

a tea party express leader is defending a controversial letter he posted on his blog

mocking the naacp. described as a satirical blog post where he pretends to be the naacp president ben jealous writing to abraham lincoln. it reads in part, "dear from lincoln, we colored people have taken a vote and decided we don't cotton to that old emancipation thing. freedom means having to work for real. think for ourselves, take consequences along with the rewards. this is just far too much to ask of us." that post is written in reaction to the recent resolution that accused the tea party movement of racism in its ranks. >> what i did, if it opened the door toneding the vitrial coming out of kansas city, opened the door to my offer to talk or mr.

jealous' offer to talk to me. what i did was successful and i'm glad it was successful. i'm sorry i had to go to those lengths to slap sense onto a lot of people who are so afraid of politically incorrect language that we can't get a conversation started. >> the ncaa president ben jealous released this statement saying if mark williams apologizes for his past statements including a letter he authored and is willing to repudiate racist elements in the tea party, i would be happy to sit down and talk with him." earlier i talked with the controversy. i started asking professor hill if he thinks there are racisms in the tea party movement. >> now we begin to see a pattern, both within and outside the tea party. we see a large range of people with deep animous towards the

president. there are narratives about blank angst and laziness. that is dangerous. >> let me have your reaction to the letter from mark williams. >> i think it's unpatriotic. if you look up on the web, you'll see a list of things that are objectionable. i think we have to look at this in context. by 2043, white people will be less than 50% of our population. if we can't get this together now, and this is a critical juncture, we are short changing the future of our country. i think tea party people are unpatriotic, short-sided and selfish. there is a pattern. >> it sounds like you're labeling. is that fair to do? is it fair to label? it sounds like you're talking about the tea party as a whole almost. it is a movement. you would go as far as labeling the entire movement as what you're saying, a bit racist?

>> if it's furry and has a tail, pointy ears and meows, it's probably a cat. i wouldn't want to stand next to any of those signs. i wouldn't want to be associated with any of that language. if you're associated with it, it says something but. >> not everyone in the tea party movement, i don't think anybody in naacp or otherwise suggested these are all bad people. it seems like there may be some elements that draw the attention of the camera. has the tea party movement gotten a bad rap because some of those extremist elements, those racist elements end up drowning out some of the calmer voices? >> they would say they are the victims of the liberal medimme

bias that takes a few. i've seen the rallies where they say lynch the president, shoot the president. when you hear the narratives, there is a tone and tenor there. i do not believe most in the party are racist, but when you have a large faction, you have a racist wing of your movement you need to reject and outcast them. if do you not do that, you deserve to be labeled as an organization that doesn't mind having racists in it. >> i talked to the head of the tea party in memphis. i've been around this guy. i don't think anyone would after meeting him come to the conclusion this guy was a racist in any way, shape or form. how are they supposed to, the tea party movement, be now a player in politics in this country that's going to be around, whose responsibility is it now to step up? how do you separate some of those racist elements as the

naacp would say? how do you separate them from the good folks? >> the iron filings know which way to point when the magnet makes itself apparent. you're looking at a group of people who are cultivating power and cultivating an audience with a direct message. the message isn't savory as far as i'm concerned. if you look at the crowds, people against government health care, most are on social security and medicare. i guess they are not in favor of health care for certain people. i think this is what you have to focus on. they didn't get to power with any message other than being anti-obama and anti-black obama. light be honest about this. you can't go to this rally and not see any negative signs. let's bring in paul steinhauser.

what do people think about the tea party? >> this was a poll in "the washington post." they said do you think some of the support for the tea party movement is based on racial prejudice against barack obama? off the top 128% say yeah. 21% said some of the support for the tea party movement is based on racial prejudice. you can see at the bottom, 43% saying not at all. that is not part of the tea party movement. i'm going out on a limb here. my assumption is there will be a lot more polling about the tea party and racism after this controversial. >> as we have to do and did you there, it's the tea party movement. this is a movement. it's so many groups that are a part of this movement now. mark williams is the spokesperson for the tea party

express. that's another part of this whole movement. what is the tea party express? >> he was at one time the leader of the tea party express now. they are based in sacramento. they are probably one of the best known national tea party organizations. why? they ran those three cross country tea party caravans, those bus tours that went across the country and held rallies throughout the u.s. two of those bus tour ts ended up in washington, d.c. they've gotten political and involved in the republican primaries. the tea party express best known for backing sharon engle in nevada. she won the nomination and is battling harry reid for the senate seat in nevada. >> we talked about how this movement gained some political power. they would point to some success. now they are possibly trying to form a caucus in congress. >> in congress this. has to do with michelle baughman

from minnesota who is a conservative and big favorite of the tea party movement. she filed paper to form a tea party caucus in congress. she says it will serve as an informal group of members dedicated to promote american's call for fiscal responsibility. we'll see if that happens. michelle baughman in the news. >> michael steele the rnc chairman expected to talk to thousands of black journalists in san diego. >> national association of black journalists in san diego. he is talking on july 30th. i expect he will make comments about the naacp's declaration on the tea party. he was critical of it this week. people will be asking him about his comments. >> paul steinhauser, good to see you. let's look at stories making headlines. two days after the oil stopped gushing in the ruptured well in

the gulf of mexico. bp confident there is not a new leak anywhere. this thing is holding. the company trying those pressure tests, running those right now. the new containment cap put in place. bp says the relief well could intersect with the ruptured well by the end of this month, then it could take a few days or weeks to kill the ruptured well. right now things possibly looking up. there is no oil going onto the gulf right now. in new jersey, a tragedy averted. no one has been found in the rubble of a collapsed garage. searchers feared they might find a victim in there in a crushed car. the car was pulled out and nobody inside. surge of allied troops showing no signs of slowing down. three nato troops killed today and one an american soldier. last month was the deadliest so far with more than 100 coalition

them later. good morning to you. you're coming up in a few minutes. >> yes. noon eastern time beginning with something you talked about all morning long. naacp and the tea party going at it. we have a continuation with a new twist, so to speak. this is something that might find its way into the courtroom. if it does we'll talk about the potential of the tea party saying they may pursue a defamation case against the naacp because some members are saying if they are not racist and the entire group has been labeled racist, are they being defamed? will this be a case that holds any water? and film director roman polanski. he gets a reprieve. sweden says they would not extradite him to the u.s. the u.s. thought this was a begin that he would serve time for the case many decades ago. our legal guys can't wait to

weigh in on this one. john mccain, campaigning in arizona. this has been an interesting fight for him. for his job. now apparently he is out with a new ad getting a lot of voters' attention. our paul steinhauser will be along to talk about about also -- here's the ad. andle also john mccain's latest words about immigration. he is not for the new arizona immigration law, however, at the same time he's criticizing the obama administration for its effort or lack thereof immigration. so where does john mccain stand as it pertains to immigration? >> that's interesting because he's not going after his opponents in the ad, he's going after his old opponents. >> is this a clever strategy? paul has all the answers. and i know you follow youtube. >> we have the viral videos, but other than that --

>> well, ridley scott, who is a great film maker, he's come up with a great idea. a global al effort in which to use youtube, people put their lives on youtube all the time, right? he says here's the challenge. a global challenge. you get a digital camera and you cover your own day from sunrise to sunset. and make your submission. what is your life like on a day to day basis? so this is a global a number of people are rise to go the occasion. everything from what either eye like to wake up wherever it is that they live to perhaps what it's like in their commute to work. perhaps what it's like to put the food on the table in their homes. so now this will be a nice challenging documentary that ridley scott -- >> are you supposed to edit it and make it fancy? >> no, real stuff. not pretty. but he wants it to be just very

graphic and organic. and something tells me he'll get what he wants. because he usually does. >> you got a lot going on. looking forward to that legal discussion. good to see you. taker bo oyour boys are you, ok? always good to see you. workers uncovered the hull of a huge ship and mary stowe got in there for a companier look. >> reporter: a rare find, remnant ofs of a ship dating back to the 18th century. we were allowed to see first hand what archaeologists stumbled upon tuesday. >> immediately thought that looks like a ship timber, so we stopped the backhoe and started excavating with shovels and uncovered a portion of this

hull. and since then have uncovered the rest that you can see 37. >> reporter: and what we can see is believed to be half of the ship. a marine historian was brought into take a look. >> it appears to be an ocean going vessel. probably at some time in the 1700s. it's heavily built, very solid frame close together. >> reporter: one mystery, the circular structure that he says may have been used as a fireplace. an anchor was also recovered. how significant is this find? >> i mean, i think it remains to be seen what this ship really is, but it's pretty significant. it's pretty exciting. there haven't been that many ships found in manhattan. it was something that occasionally ships were occasionally used as part of landfilling, so it probably was part of filling in this land. so it's not unheard of. >> reporter: because of the history here, archaeologists have been monitoring the construction site.

the wildlife conservation society shows just how much of lower manhattan was underwater hundreds of years ago. compare that to know. >> tells us about the landfill structure and how they were reusing things like old boats to build up the land because the shore line was originally about a block that way. >> reporter: this was the hudson river. >> yeah. >> reporter: this is just south of where the world trade center towers once stood, this rare relic hid gone more than 200 years. >> this is the kind of thing that archaeologists are hoping to find and very rarely do. >> reporter: mary snow, cnn, new york. guys? the best stuff on earth just got better. - good stuff, craig. - we're dating.
