♪ to me ♪ to me go morning. we have seen the pictures for the past several days. a massive gas line ruptures and an entire neighborhood goes upi in flames in california, but a lot of people are asking how could it happen there, but also could it happen in your neighborhood? we are tracking gas lines across america. plus we take a live picture
8:01 am
this morning at the washington monument in washington, d.c. tea party activist are gathering here shortly for another large rally. we'll explain what talking about today. from the cnn center, this is your cnncnn sunday morning,". 8:00 a.m. where i sit, and wherever you are i am glad you are with me. we are gting information about one of three hikers. her name is sarah shourd. they have been held and possibly charged withewe espionage. we thought she might be released today. we are getting an update from her attorney that in fact everything isow in place and she could be released as early as today or tomorrow. our reza sayah hasfo been
8:02 am
following this story. he isis in islamabad for us. just how much back and fourth have we beenhaving? we thought she could be released, and then she wasn't. looks like reza is not hearing me. we will continue to work on getting him back up. let me go back. sarah shourd is her name. her along wit two friends have been held and were accused of being spies. we got word last week that there was a deal in place to allow her to have a conditional release, just t heard. we got that word late last week and we thought she was going to be released on saturday, and then iran came back and said things are not in place and the judicial pross has not played
8:03 am
out, and now this morning there is word that she could be released if $500,000 in bail was paid. that's where we are now. now, new information whas been back to us, and now everything is in place for sarah shourd to be replaced as soon as the money is paid. $500,000. it's being called bail money, but once that is paid she would be released and go back to the united states, and that mney would be forfeited even if they did want to try her. but sh would be out of there. however, the fate of her two friends il up in the air. it appears they would be charged and still be held in prison and don't know what would come of them. our reza sayah is back up and can hear me. i have been trying to give the background here about the back
8:04 am
and forth we have been seeing over t che laset couple days. at this point, reza, it sounds like everything is in place but money to ting for change hands? >> reporter: yeah, and t. j., what is remarkable, this is the first time the lawyer representing these hikers have met them since they were arrested back in july of 2009. for 13 months he has not been able to meet his clients. again, i just spoke with him about an hour ago, and he said he met them, and he said the hikers werall doing well and he sai sarah shourd was happy with the news, but her wish is three of the hikers to be releasedtogether. here is how the process will work according to the lawyer. the family will deliver the money to the swiss embassy, and then the swiss embassy will transfer the money to iran, and
8:05 am
then sarah shourd will be released, and this will happen sometime within the nsext 24 hours. and as far as the other two hikers, a prosecutor told reporters they will not go anywhere and they will remai behind bars, and they are being investigated for spying when they were arrested last july. they allegedly crossed into iranian territory when they were hiking along the iran border. the ordeal is far from over r the two. good news for sarah shourd's family, if they can come up with the halfll of million dollars. >> do we know how the process works, reza, of getting the money to the irani offlsicia and do we know where the money might come from? that's a significant amount to come up with. >> reporter: yeah, i don't think that there is any doubt that
8:06 am
this family is somehow going to come up with this money. i think the family itself, they are going to contribute some of the money. i would not be surprised if human rights groups makes contribution. at some point once they have that money, they wi transfer it to the swiss embassy. iran and the u.s. don't have diplomatic relations, so the swiss embassy plays the role of mediator in situations like this. and technically it's bail money. if she wants the money back, she will have to come back and face trl. 's unlikely i will happen. when foreigners have posted bail before, they never come back essentially for egoing that money. she probably will not return t
8:07 am
iran again either. >> reza, we appreciate you. again, to the viewers, the word is for the attorney from the hikers that possibly sarah shourd will be released today or tomorrow. we will follow that story closely. and here is another story we are keeping a close eye on in kentucky. a rural part of the state where police shot and killed his wife, step son and three others before turng the gun on himself. the shootings happened around noon yesterday south of lexington. police are calling this a domestic dispute. the man was enraged over the way his wife cooked his eggs. in san bruno, california, now, investigators are investigating a decades old gas pipe. the investigation could take months and also dozens of homes
8:08 am

8:09 am
shocker. e storms are so far out there we need more than one map. there are three different things. this is of the coast of africa. and this is the named storm, igor, and then the third system is over here in theri caribbean the wester,n caribbean, this cluster of showers developing south of the dau minute conrepublic. and it's expected to move into an area with very little shear and warm water. possibly a major hurricane. as we fast-forward from monday into wednesday, there is a chance it could be a category 4 hurricane with gusts approaching 160. keep in mind there is a whole lot that may change in the next couple days, so we will keep an
8:10 am
eye on it. at this point it doesn't look like it will interact with the u.s., for four or possibly even five days. meanwhile, we are watching showers develop across parts of the eastern seaboard all due to the area of low pressure. have you a stationary front and a dividing line is where we may could see some action. and as we wrap things up out west, i wish i could see we would see rain for colorado, and that's not the case, but the wind should not be that strong. we are sending it back to you, t. j. >> we appreciate you and will chat with you again shortly. we turnas to washington whe organizers are expecting tea party activist to descend on washington. ehis year it's a little different. yes, they are still calling on limited government, but we have mid-term election just a little ways away. our kate bolduan has more from

8:12 am
>> reporter: it's a different political climate. look no further tn the string of victories for the tea party endorsed candidates. >> i think there is a lot of political power in the decentralized movement. edu don't need a lot of money and you don't need the endorsement of the national party, because if you are on the ground getting out the vote and our neighbors, that results in victories. >> reporter: matt kibie re is a activist to the rally. reporter: what has changed since 9/12? >> it was a coming out party, the first time people got to place at one place at one time. and this year it's far more developed and sophisticated and ten fold bigger.

>> reporter: when the rally ends, the rubber meets the roade >> the real test for the tea party is not november 2nd, butr november 3rd. we will have more leaders that have come in on the tea party wave, and then are they going to govern as responsible officials? >> we're going to be watching and we'renot walking away and we're not going back to our tvs, and we're going to be there. >> we're going to be there, and that's the big message of the day. and the day's eventsrnegin just this morning, and then the big rally is scheduled to kickoff at 2:00 eastern, of course, at the capital, following a march down pennsylvania avenue like last year. and it's forecast to rain at least for part of the day, and
8:14 am
