a bit later like much of the east coast we'll see heavy rain throughout the area as they worry about a nor'easter up the east coast. meanwhile, we had a great time in our short stay in delaware. wrapping up the debate last night between senate candidates o'donnell and coons. i'll hop on the amtrak and head back up to join you tomorrow morning. >> see you then. get to the train station before you get rained on. thanks, kiran. meantime, the news continues here on cnn with i can with a phillips. good morning, kyra. >> good morning. and good morning, everybody. some of those chilean miners getting the first glimpse of morning light in more than two months. all the guys out of the mine. now the recovery, the quality time with family and telling all those personal stories. a texas man allegedly murdered on a lake. now the head of the lead -- now the head of the investigation -- the mexican investigator, his

head handed over in a suitcase. and yet another example of hate and ignorance at work. the word "pig" spelled out in bacon in front of this mosque. we'll talk about it. i'm kyra phillips and you are live in the "cnn newsroom." americans have run out of hope. just last month alone, banks seized 100 million homes. if you broaden the focus to three months, the breakdown is more bleak. across the nation, one of every 139 homeowners received foreclosure filings last quarter and some places it's worse. much worse. like in nevada. one in every 29 homeowners got the papers. and amid the heartbreak of growing sense of outrage. many foreclosures skirted the law and all 50 states are launching an investigation. christine romans is joining us with more on that. devastating for folks. >> it is. it's started as a real big mess and it's only getting bigger. 50 states investigating whether

the mortgage industry was rushing through foreclosures without really checking properly the paperwork from the banking perspective they're saying that they have a time-out on many sales. just doubling and triple checking the work to make sure thing everything is okay. attorneys general want an investigation and make sure people weren't kicked out of the houses for the wrong reasons. i want to tell you how big the scope is of the foreclosure problem. last month according to realty track more than 100,000 homes seized by the sheriff and repossessed by the bangs. we have never seen that many homes turned back over to the bank ever. that's about two homes every single minute. many cases, kyra, people belong gone out of the houses. stopped paying the bills months or years before and the banks repossessing. many people think the numbers do down because the banks aren't

repossessing right now because of all the problems with the paperwork but the bottom line is problems and uncertainty in the housing market and until you mix the foreclosure problem, you will have trouble getting the housing market back on the feet. kyra? >> you have the issue of all these homes seized and then late payments for mortgages, right? >> absolutely. and think if you're the person living in a neighborhood where there are three or four homes seized and thought they would be sold at auction and get that supply off the market. you haven't now. now your own home value going down, as we. there's concerns for neighborhoods, houses sitting empty. in some cases there are people, kyra, for the first time ever to buy a home, buy a foreclosed home at sale. those sales have stopped so now they have missed the opportunity at least for now to buy a home. another number to leave you with. 5 million people in the country are late on the mortgage. at least 5 million late in some stage of the foreclosure process. that meenans we have a lot of wk

to do in the housing market. >> christine, pretty dismal news. minutes ago we saw more dismal news. new numbers on how many americans filing for unemployment benefits for the first time. initial claims rose by 13,000 last week. here's the new number. 462,000. that's pretty much what we have seen over the past year. initial jobless claims have been stuck in a tight range since november and economists say it's another sign of a clum economy. they say that the real economic recovery can't take hold until the weekly claims drop to 400,000. or less. well in delaware, joe biden held the senate seat for nearly 40 years and now the battle to replace them captures the voter anger and apprehension swirling. with less than three weeks before the vote, the candidates squared off on cnn. they sparred over familiar themes, too. loyalty to an unpopular president. and the gop's uneasy alliance with tea party politics.

>> i've had to fight my party to be here on this stage, to win the nomination and to some extent i'm still fighting my party. so my -- when i go to washington, my allegiance will be to the voters of delaware. not any special interests. >> i have a real practical record of having reached bipartisan solutions here in county government. of working with the elected republicans that served with me on county council and council while i'm county executive. >> let's get to gloria borger who was there through the night and back at the university of delaware this morning. gloria, what do you think? what does it mean for the next 19 days? is this initial romanticism of a candidate against the grain wearing off? >> well, you know, i think that's what she clearly was trying to do in the clip you showed. both of the candidates were trying to appeal to the independent voters. independent voters are going to be very, very important in this state. there's a lot of disaffected

democrats, as well, that you saw her trying to appeal to but right now in our recent cnn poll just released yesterday, she's 19 points behind, kyra. she has a heavy lift right now. last night she was on the attack. she was quite aggressive. and, so she's trying to change the storyline from the way she was introduced to the voters this date which is somebody who said she dabbled in witchcraft, et cetera, to somebody who really is like them and is frustrated and cares about the issues and will take that to washington and not be owned by the special interests or republican party. >> got it. gloria, thanks so much. the other big story last night, you couldn't have scripted the chile miners' rescue better. overnight, they pulled out the last man, chile's president sealed the shaft and the miners are getting the health checked. take a look at the greeting they got at the hospital. [ cheering ]

[ chanting ] it wasn't just around the nation but hospital, too. i think every place in chile, one of the miners actually is in intensive care. he got pneumonia and others need dental surgery. apart from that, all 33 expected to be fine. let's go ahead and check in with the hospital now. patrick oppman is there. seeing this excitement this early or this late now? >> reporter: absolutely. and cnn political journalist and todd baxter and i were there and i don't know if there's an admission and people got a standing ro sa standing ovation. amazing thing is as the miners went by, some in wheelchairs and scrubs and oakley sunglasses, just as interested in us and

what we were doing there as we were in them. kyra, i want to show you very quickly the local newspaper here. and it says here, really says it best. chile -- mission accomplished, chile. what a spectacular rescue last night. when a spectacular end to an incredible story. you know, while those final rescues were going on, we were reporting live, kyra. we can hear from the second and fourth floors of the hospital the miners cheering with each rescue. they're getting wowed, boisterous. might have been told to take it easy and don't follow instructions and they were cheering along last night and we were told that every single patient in the hospital last night was -- had the tv set tuned to the rescues including the most important patients, the miners. they're here. the president of chile will be here later this morning and again greeting them as he did with each rescue that they were pulled to the surface and some more good news, kyra.

some expected to be released from the hospital behind me here today. they're strong guys and some go home to the families today. kyra? >> so great. patrick, real quickly, do we know if we'll hear from the guys? they made a pact they wouldn't talk to the media. do we know? >> reporter: you know, we just don't at this point. i have talked to a couple of relatives quickly, been in to see them. they say they're doing well, they're fine and, you know, the guys have got a -- need a little bit of space for everything they've been through. it's hard to imagine mario keeping quiet. seems to have so much to say. i hope we'll talk to him. quite a story. >> no doubt. patrick, thanks so much. we'll take a look at all the rescue highlights and there's a lot of them. 33 of them f. you love the story, you'll want to see it. it's at half past the hour. not sure how the falcon lake

story will turn out but it won't be a happy ending. the mexican investigator who was looking for him, his head turns up in a suitcase.

there's fear a missing texas man's body might never be found. david hartley's wife says he was shot and killed on falcon lake on the mexican border. authorities say the gunmen probably pirates linked to a drug cartel. lead mexican investigator in the case, his head turned up in a suitcase this week. authorities think drug cartel members killed him. ed level dera tells us where the investigation goes. >> reporter: they're continuing to search and continuing to do that. the sheriff and county where falcon lake is says as for now, he has no plans to stop. really, mostly he said to send a message that they're not quiting and essentially read it as a message to the other side given the news that happened this week that the beheading of the investigator, the lead investigator on this case, the sheriff on this side knows full well that sends a chilling

message down through the ranks as the next investigator has to fill those shoes. we spoke yesterday with tiffany hartley, the wife of david hartley, the american believed to be killed on falcon lake. she said she met with this investigator last wednesday and then six days after their meeting he turned up dead. >> i met him. he sat right next to me. we talked through to a translator and seemed like a good guy who wanted to do good for his country. >> reporter: do you worry that the next person says, hey look, i saw what happened to the guy before me, i'm not interested? >> i'm worried that nobody will want to take over but they're searching and until, you know, they decide that, you know, they needed to back off or whatever, until that day comes, but we're asking please search for david and find him so we can, you know, go home.

>> reporter: the sheriff in zapata county said this murder of this investigator is a clear message to those other investigators to back off from the investigation, to stop the search. this area on the mexican side offal con lake is an area believed to be heavily controlled by drug cartel members and an area even investigators don't feel safe going into at this point. kyra? >> ed, stay on the story. we appreciate it. cnn producer nick valencia talking with the mexican investigator whose head later turned up in a suitcase. now there's this new mexican prosecutor leading the investigation but before we get to that, you were having communications with this investigator that turned up dead. that's got to be kind of eerie. did he ever express to you he was worried about his life? >> no. he never said he was threatened but taking a job as a lead investigator in an area controlled by drug cartels and a reputation as the most ruthless

cartel in mexico, you know the chance you're taking. so, you know, he never mentioned that he was threatened, kyra. >> you have a new prosecutor, is he returning your calls, being as open with you as the man who just turned up beheaded? >> that's interesting. i called him about 15 times times or more yesterday and not gotten back to us and any other media and being tight lipped about the investigation and folk there is on the other side of the border on the mexican side nervous. now, flores, the lead investigator's head turns up in a suitcase and now strong intimidation. >> you have the new prosecutor and understand why he's not returning your calls. wants to limit communication. it is like a death wish. >> he's denied in past statements to the media that the incident occurred as tiffany hartley is saying it occurred. he wants more information.

in fact, yesterday we spoke to the spokesman for the state attorney general and asking for more information of tiffany hartley. she submitted a formal inquiry but they want information to solve the case faster. >> a lot of people are not believing her story. any kind of inside information you might have gotten from this mexican investigator? because the mexicans still don't believe her story for the most part. why? >> there is an interesting intelligence yesterday of a global security intelligence agency and what they claim is that this was a case of mistaken identity. the folks, the hart lives lived on the mexican side of the border. had mexican plates. it's not frequented by tourists. they could have been mistaken for drug traffickers. this is not an area the police go or anywhere else. >> interesting. keep following the case. thanks so much. >> thank you. all right. she's one of the big screen's biggest stars. now academy-award winning

remember. she's developed an innovative teaching program called mindup through the non-profit foundation and designed to help kids master emotions so they can realize their real academic potential. >> i do it at home sometimes when my sister is bloothering m >> it can help you relax the brain taking a test. it will help you to relax. >> children learn to no kus more on it and they have realized what they're doing instead of just reacting. >> john roberts spoke with goldie a little while ago. the kids are adorable. >> the kids are adorable, no question about it. but of course, so is goldie hawn. i'm speaking with you and don't take offense at that. lovely -- >> hey, she is looking good, yeah. >> i've been talking to her a lot over the last couple of months about the new program

called mindup and it is a way of reducing stress in a child. and having them be more aware of how their brain works so they're better able to learn. she teaches them -- the program teaches them optimism, mindfulness. the theory very quickly if a child is under stress, any learning or knowledge is bottled up in the fight or flight response. doesn't get into the executive functioning parts of the brain but if a child is not stressed, calm and relaxed while learning, they learn better. here's what she told me about it. >> we know that we can change the brain by the way we think. if we think positive thoughts, our brain will lean toward that area. so when a brain is frenzied, when we're upset, when we're fearful, all of these aspects of neuro biological firing, right, in the system in the center part of our brain, when that's active, when a child is afraid, when their sense of failure, when there's problems at home,

they come in to school with real issues. we don't see them. >> now, when she talks about these brain breaks, i mean, that sounds like meditation but she says it is not. what's the difference? >> well, i guess it uses certain meditative practices such as controlled breathing, clearing the mind. but really, what it is all about is sort of relaxing and getting focused which is a part of meditati meditation. the meditation can go further than that. what it is about is keeping the pathways in the brain open free of stress and done tests on children who have been in the mindup program and find they exhibit lower levels of cortisol which is a stress hormone that many of the peers not in the program do. it's across the country. it could be something we're going to hear more about. >> it's interesting. interesting to see if it does take off and if smr schools implement it. thanks so much. for the 33 chilean miners,

the few cher's so bright, they got to wear shades. we just can't get enough of super mario or mr. gomez here, he dropped to his knees in prayers getting up from the mine. we'll look back at all the highlights. one from each of those 33 miners.

>> thanks. back in early august, we had no idea how the chilean miner drama would end. 33 guys, no quick rescue possible. you couldn't have scripted a better ending. today, the guys are out. the shaft is sealed. most of them are doing just fine. we want to take a look back now at an extraordinary few hours in chile's history and human history. [ cheering ] >> incredible excitement here. copiapo, chile. a mining town that's very proud tonight of their 33 miners. there's mario sepulveda, the second rescued miner brought to the surface.

>> we're bringing the pictures live from copiapo, chile, which is probably the most famous mining town in the world and camp hope, the informal community that's set up around it. but his sister's watching on the left of your screen. his sister's watching a live television broadcast from bolivia, as well. >> jimmy sanchez. this is the youngest of the 33 miners. they're about to open that capsule. he does not like confined spaces. mining was not the profession for him. there he is. on solid ground. stepped out of that capsule. took him 700 meters to the surface from that -- been in for 68 days. listen to the cheer. osman araya. the sixth miner. the emotions. looks okay.

30 years old. he is married with three kids. >> sincere lly dramatic and emotional pictures. everyone wants to look at the face to see how he looks, to see how he seems. he is the one that had some medical issues, as well. he is diabetic and required medication. i think more than anything we want to see him be with his family. there he is with a smile on his face. >> we are now watching live about to bring miner number eight up to the surface. claudio yanez, 34 years old. >> mario! >> can't imagine what it might be like, married for 30 years. they have children together. and she has waited there day and night in the cold saying i'm not

going home until i have you with us. >> special coverage on "american morning" of the mine rescues and here he is. he's out. >> mario! [ cheering ] >> let this scene unfold. as alex is coming out. his wife jessica will greet him in just a second. >> here's his wife jessica. let's watch this reunion. here comes jorge galleguillos. his brother carlos is there to greet him and say hello. >> any moment, we are waiting for the 34-year-old miner, edison pena. there you see it, the 12th rescue. the 12 9d miner at surface.

34-year-old ped son pena of chile. [ cheering ] >> an emotional reunion. >> we're talking about the 14th miner to reach the surface here. >> victor antonio is here. a 48-year-old miner, hugging his president as he emerges from so many days under ground. >> we want to bring you live pictures now from san jose. the san jose mine. you are looking at the mother of miner number 16 who's making his way to the surface now. >> this was really the best plan to get them out the soonest. some estimates had the miners returning to the surface as late as december. and you just have to imagine already the amount of emotional

trauma they have been through. the physical stress of the two months and now this. >> this is the view from inside, by the way. >> there's pablo, number 19, emerging from the hole. this is the 19th miner to be rescued. >> that is dario antonio segovia rojos. he is 48 years old. he is coming up now. >> we are looking at miner number 21 coming up, yonny barrios rojas. he is the chief paramedic for the group due to previous nursing profession.

>> samuel avalos. making his way to the surface. the 22nd man to emerge from what's been nearly 69 days. this is what it looks like. as a miner emerges from the depths. really is the ride of his life. >> there you see jose henriquez, 54 years old. stuck in that mine. mine number 25 as he's called right now. 29 years old. rejust came up on the capsule. he has now been rescued. and you can see the emotion. let's listen in and just watch for a moment.

[ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: i have the privilege to inform that all of the miners have been rescued. including the leader of this group and everybody is in perfect physical condition. >> that's it. all the miners have been

rescued. [ singing ] [ chanting ] >> that was definitely one of the stories that inspired us all across the world watching it unfold live and still wondering if we'll hear from the miners now and the personal stories. apparently they made a pact under ground they weren't going to talk to the media individually. we are still waiting to see if, indeed, it is going to happen. countdown to the midterm elections. 19 days and the balance of power could be shifting. we'll look at the power brokers hidden from view, shadowy groups that fund campaign ads to win votes. both parties do it and today we look at the democrats. this is unlike any car you've ever seen before.

this is power with efficiency. this is an interior that exceeds even the promise of the exterior. this is the all-new jaguar xj. the stunning result of taking a very different road.

checking top stories real quickly. too many americans losing jobs. labor department say it is number of people filing for jobless benefits rose 13,000 to 462,000 last week. economists say there's little reason to celebrate in an economic recovery until the claims fall below the 400,000 mark. a bridge above the california river dedicated the former nevada governor and pat tillman today. tillman is the player that gave up the football career to serve

as a u.s. army ranger in afghanistan. pat tillman was killed by friendly fire. pretty nasty weather for the parts of country. bonnie schneider talking about a possible nor'easter? >> that's right. seems early. this is not a snow event but seeing wind and rain with it. seeing wind and rain for a different reason. check this out, paula. still a hurricane and expected to weaken and bringing wind and rain to cuba. the biggest concern, mud slides. we could see three or four, five inches of rain and maybe heavier amounts at time. looks at the paula in the u.s., rain in the' west area. a larger scale, as we head further to the north we are looking at the mid-atlantic. that's right. we're watching for conditions in a nor'easter in the mid-atlantic and northern new england. more on that all straight ahead coming up with kyra phillips continuing.

just 19 days before the midterm elections and campaign ads filling the air waves. the big budget productions often funded by shadowy groups hidden from view and both parties take the cash and blame each other. dana bash in new york with a closer look at both parties that

are doing it, dana. >> reporter: that's right. groups outside the candidates' campaigns are having a really big influence running ads and pouring money into the elections. more than ever before. you may not know it listening to the president lately but those outside groups are helping democrats, as well. some of them are also not disclosing their donors. the president rails against republicans for flooding the air waves with money from shadowy outside groups. >> they have the names like americans for prosperity or americans for apple pie. >> reporter: but take a look at these inokay wous sounding names, citizens for strength and security action fund and these are democratic outside groups set up like republican groups the president slams. they don't have to disclose who's funding them. they run ads supporting democrats like this. >> senator murray knows small businesses are the engines of job creation. >> reporter: and pump money into

hart-hitting ads against gop candidates like this -- >> congressman paers, named one of the most corrupt members of congress. >> reporter: america's families first action fund helped pay for the ad, run by a democratic insider. cnn is told it's someone that used to head up party efforts for house democrats and started the group five weeks ago to try to compete with republicans. >> this is not something that's exclusive to republican organizations or democratic organizations. not to the left or the right. this is in a way a free for all. the wild west of campaign contributions. >> reporter: democrats are also using a new weapon in the big money game. super pacs. patriotic majority is running ads against harry reid's 0 poe pent in nevada. >> sharron angle would force her to have the baby. >> two wrongs don't make a right. >> reporter: they work independently of candidates and

they can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to defeat and promote candidates and disclose their donors and democrats who formed these groups say that adds transparency. >> patriot majority is funded mostly by unions and liberal-leaning groups. he says it's poised to pound republican candidates with $10 million this election cycle. that's a lot less than some of the big republican groups, but he says he believes democrats must try. >> they are goliath. we have david and fighting back. and, you know, we are going to use the slingshot that we have in order to fight the fight. >> reporter: to be clear on point, republicans are outspending democrats with regard to the outside groups, kyra, 9 to 1. 9 to 1. multiple democratic sources say there's a good deal of frustration in democratic circles with the president's attacks on what he calls shadowy republican groups because the sources say it's harder to convince democratic donors to

contribute to their groups which for better ororse are a big part of this year's election. kyra? >> dana, thanks. next political up dmat an hour. reminder for the latest political news, go to cnnpolitics.com. legalizing marijuana. a lot of folks are forit. a lot are against it. the issue sparked a lot of debate on cnn's new primetime show "parker spitzer." >> i have been convinced by people in law enforcement and the judicial system that we can really ail low kate our resources in a much better way than arresting people for simple possession of marijuana. in 2008, for example, in california, there were 60,000 arrests for simple possession of marijuana, and it seems to me a huge waste of man power, resources, et cetera, et cetera. there are so many arguments you can make in favor of legalizing it that i can't come down on the other side.

well, yet another example of hate and ignorance at work here in the united states. check out what some insensitive, uneducated punk did to an islamic center and mosque in south carolina. yeah, he wrote out the word "pig" right there if front and did it with bacon and that adds to the insult because most muslims don't eat pork products. they say apart from a broken window, they have never really had a problem here before. >> he should be doing something wrong to somebody else and god will take care about it. if i see that person particularly, i will just ask him simply, i will tell him, go and get some knowledge. >> there you go. police are looking into this as harassment, not a hate crime because nothing was actually done to a person. i see stories like this, and it makes me wonder. how can we expect to make peace with muslims when we carry out

ignorant and shameful acts like this? when we take advantage of freedom of speech and combine with with fear and ignorance, like the florida pastor of the tiny church that wanted to burn korans. remember that, he had the president, the secretary of state, even the general of the afghan war chiming in. they have made the world so much smaller when some person does that. we have to take responsibility for our actions. this morning, new numbers on how many americans are filing for unemployment benefits for the very first time. initial claims rose by 13,000 last week. the number number, 462,000. that's pretty much what we've seen over the past year. initial jobless claims have been stuck in a pretty tight range

since november. economists say it's another sign of a glum economy, and the real economic recovery can't even take hold until though weekly claim numbers drop to 400,000 or less. the weak job market has even drawn some sobering advice from an elder statesman of journalism. tom brokaw celebrated his new book, "the greatest generation," and he told a new group of college grads they may have to look overseas for that american dream. he said i wouldn't be looking just within our borders for opportunities. i would look at the chances of getting a job in the middle east, for example, or india or china. i'd be looking well beyond even the national borders. a lot of u.s. companies have shipped their jobs overseas and finding lower wages, fewer taxes in places like china, south

korea. should americans hungry for opportunity focus their search across the world? joining us to zhaus is ali velshi and in london, our own richard request. this will be a lively discuss. ali, you have a 14-year-old, and you are telling them to learn mandarin. >> i'm telling my stepkids to learn mandarin. people say, here, meet my kid, and i say, are you learning mandarin. i love that tom brokaw is saying it because he is the epitome of american pride. the center of gravity is shifting east. major corporations are finding their ceos from the ranks of people who worked in india or china or russia. i spoke to the head of a major recruitment firm what would you tell someone who wants to earn

over $250,000 in their career? he said overseas internships. that's the single determineant. >> are you seeing our grads coming over and trying to get internships and infiltrating your country? >> every single day i get e-mails from journalism students in the units who want to come and intern here in cnn in london and the same from all over the world. yes, ali is right, that, of course, international experience is now the single most important determinant, and if you look at every chief exec or direct or exec, they have worked in the overseas divisions of the major corporations, but, and here is the crucial bit, there is one thing just to go overseas and do the overseas experience. it's another to understand that a global corporation operates in

an overseas environment, and forget -- i mean, tom brokaw is quite right that of course, the opportunities are to go to asia and go to europe, but you got to start planning that a lot sooner than just when you're in your final or your senior year because you have got to learn the languages. you've got to learn the culture. and most important, you've got to get a love of the global economy. >> that's right. >> so you what what do you say to parents or even american companies here or the typical -- christine romans would battle you on this and say we have to keep our college grads in the state. >> entry level jobs in china are not what we are talking about here. it's what richard said, making them get a global understanding early and learn other languages. it's not just mandarin, which i think is a brilliant choice, but the indian languages, portuguese, brazil.

the world is growing. you have to understand that to be prepared for larger opportunities. may not be the first job but if you want to get that dream, you go out there and work somewhere else for it. do not deny that the center of gravity is shifting away from america. for 100 years the center of gravity was not india and china and they profited off it. we have to learn how to do that. >> think about all three of us back in school, i remember our professors saying, you need to learn a language. if you need to do well in the business, there are a lot of joung gals that want to do the same thing. learn a language. >> it is the same concept, you and me and ali, but he's north of the border, so i believe he has a strong smattering of french somewhere, but the real tragedy of you, me and ali is that we grew up in an economy at a time when, really, all we it h

to learn was english. >> that's true. >> frankly, tonight, i am flying to brazil on assignment. i don't speak portuguese. there's going to be a lot of arm waving. the english tradition, speak slowly and shout, and they'll soon understand. you get the idea. the most important thing to remember is if you are going overseas just to get a job. remember, you're go for two reasons, a culture experience or a career advancement. if you are going to get a job because you can't get one here, you are desperate and doomed to fail. >> it's good to learn another language. if you are in the united states, learning spanish doesn't hurt you. we used to learn french. my wife studied japanese back in the '80s because that was going to be the big thing. they didn't turn out to be the case but she is no further back in life because she did it. get your kids in high school

patrick? >> reporter: and president accept bastion pinera, chile's president, who greet zed and shk the hand of every single miner is here this morning. he just arrived and is up talking with those miners, people that he says he wants to get to know better and spend time with. he only got to quickly talk to each of those men before they were wisked off to a field hospital and flown by helicopter from the mine site down to copiapo. he's going to be here this morning spending time with them. there are family members coming to see their relatives for a little longer and hopefully take them home if not today very, very soon. i was in the waiting room hoping to get a shot of president pinera when i ran into an old friend of ours, jessica yanez. she is having a wedding dress made for her and she is going to

have the wedding dress she never had, the wedding she never had 25 years ago, kyra. i was talking to her and said, how do you feel and she really summed it up. she said last night was the first night she was able to sleep since august 5th. a very welcome day for her, very excited to have her husband back in her arms. they'll be renewing their vows again soon. just a happy day and that will be an even happier day. >> my guess is we will be hearing a lot more of these fabulous personal stories as the days go on. with the midterm elections just 19 days away, democrats getting a boost from some big guns on the campaign trail, but it's not the president who is stealing the limelight. d meal... with yummy hamburger helper? oh! tada! fantastically tasty, huh? ummm, it's good. what would you guys like? hamburger helper. what?! one pound... one pan... one tasty meal!

just 19 days from now, elections that could change the course of the country. with polls showing democrats in deep trouble, some of the party's big guns are on the campaign trail. we're talking about first lady michelle obama and former president bill clinton. what's happening with president obama's approval ratings is not so good. they're dropping, and some moderate democrats don't want to be seen with him right now. ed henry joining us live from washington. how is the president taking all this? i know he knows his wife is a pretty amazing woman, ed. >> reporter: well, kyra, in fairness, he's still popular in

a lot of the parts of the country but he is proud, maybe, that the first lady is getting out there. she is sort of a reluctant warrior. she didn't really want to campaign a lot in the 2006 battle. in 2008 she went 0 the there. now she's everywhere. i was in chicago. she was battling there for the democratic snd for her husband's old senate seat in illinois, she is going to denver for senator michael bennet. they're all key battlegrounds. the president's been in some of the places. might not be back. they think she's a huge asset. you mentioned her popularity. president's approval rating, 45%. she's 20 points higher, 65% in our latest polling, and when i spoke to her advisers, they realize that's because the president has a lot more responsibility. he gets a lot of the bad news on his desk. she is able to focus on good issues that are positive and

popular, like healthy eating and standing up for military families. there's a risk that if she gets more involve in the politics, her numbers can come down. here's her pitch. >> he cannot do this an lone. he needs strong leaders like russ to help him and they all need folks like all of you to make this happen. they can't do this alone. so we need you to make those phone calls for russ. we need you to knock on those doors for russ. and we need you to get everyone you know to vote for russ. >> reporter: she's going to be especially helpful with some of the female senators right now in trouble. she's going to go to california for barbara boxer, washington state for patty murray. they're both in some trouble. i have a cover story on cnn.com,

and when i researched it, i had a quote from mamie eisenhower saying, ike runs the country. i turn the lampchops, and now you have the first lady trying to save the president's bacon. >> we know michelle obama can do it all. you'll have to ask her if she makes good lamb crops. >> i don't think i'm going to do that. >> we'll remain politically correct. in delaware, joe biden held the senate seat for nearly 40 years, and the bat toll replace him captures voter anger. with less than three weeks before the vote, the two candidates squared off in a debate on cnn and sparred over familiar themes, democratic loyalty to an unpopular president, which we just talked about, and the gop's uneasy alliance with tea party

politics. >> i had to fight my party to be here on this stage, to win the nomination, and to some extents i am still fighting my party. so when i go to washington, my allegiance is to the voters of delaware. >> i have a real practical record of working with the elected republicans who serve with me on county council and on council while i have been county executive. >> coons has taken a double-digit lead among delaware's likely voters. according to our research pop poll, he leads o'donnell by 19 percent points. that was taken before last night's poll, but a couple of moments that could be damaging to either opponent. >> you proposed new taxes on hotels, paramedics services, and even 911 calls from cell phones. is that true? >> no, it's not true that we proposed a tax on calls s ts t

still seeing a lot of rain particularly here in western cuba, a mountainous area, so the concern is not only heavy downpours, but also watching for the threat of mudslides, which are very, very dangerous. i want to show you the effects of the storm system, of the tropical system on florida. here's key west and you can see bands of rain and thunderstorms working their way up the lower and middle keys of florida at this hour. the tropical storm watch remains because the winds could exceed 39 miles per hour. speaking of wind, we are also monitoring the development of a nor'easter, first one in october so far, and this could be a big one in terms of wind and rain. you already see it ramping up across the carolinas and the mid-atlantic. thunderstorms are ramping east of raleigh-durham. look what's happening in washington, d.c. we have a lot of rain developing there and into baltimore. that will move into philadelphia and new york city as well.

this storm will have a huge impact on air travel. those heading out today or tomorrow, keep a watch on the nor'easter. there will be lengthy delays in washington, atlanta, charlotte, a lot of places. the miami/ft. lauderdale delays, that is due to paula and the wind associated with that. elsewhere, tracking nice conditions across much of the west coast. l.a. up to 81, showers in the northwest with a high of 60 in seattle. much, much colder, though, temperatures in the 40s and 30s in south dakota this morning. the cold front coming through, is really going to make a difference where you are going to need the coat if you are up and out early in the morning, and colder and much more wet for new york city. staggering new numbers this morning. a record number of foreclosures,

1 in every 139 homeowners received foreclosure filings last quarter. some states better than others. josh levs can tell us which is the worst? >> yes, we will. the usual suspects. these numbers are just awful and telling about the state of the economy. i'll give you too national stats and look at how your state is doing. foreclosures soaring, 930,000 foreclosure filings in the latest quarter, not far from 1 million in a single quarter. bank repossessions topped the 100,000 mark. more than 100,000 bank repossessions of homes in this country in just that quarter. time for the states. nevada had the highest rate of foreclosure, 1 in 29 homes in that state received a foreclosure filing, just in that quarter. in raw numbers, you have the most in california, 191,000 homes.

if you put together, california, florida, arizona and michigan, just those five states alone, you get half of that record number of foreclosures in that country, half packed into those five states. i should be able to show you a map that is interactive and shows you how things are going for you. the more red you have, the worse the foreclosures have been throughout the dries sis. the darker red is a higher right. over here, some of the states that had it best, north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, iowa. just days ago, i was talking about the section, and north dakota being the one state where incomes have actually gone up. what happened was a lot of the states over here skipped the real estate boom. they didn't get the excitement of the real estate boom and now are being spared the worst of the bust. there is some good news, realty track says that the uptick will probably not last very long because some lenders have halted foreclosure sales pending

reviews, and this week 50 attorneys general have announced looking into improper foreclosures. sm this should help reverse the horrible trend. >> what can people do if they're concerned they might face a foreclosure? >> yes, because it keeps adding up. one website, foreclosure help. org. there is also one from the government right here, making home afford about.gov, telling you steps to take to hold onto your home and i'm getting links up at my facebook and twitter pages along with other links. hopefully they will help you if you are in the situation and afraid you might face it not be in the statistics next quarter. human embryonic stem cells put to test on the first human.

deal! my money. my choice. my meineke. let's talk about medical history that's being made right now. doctors using human embryonic stem cells to treat a patient. we're talking about a human being this time, not rats. a volunteer with a spine injury is getting that treatment right now at a hospital right here in atlanta, georgia. we don't know much about the volunteer, except that the person was injured within the last two weeks and had cells grown from stem cells injected into his or her spine. those cells are taken from four five-day-old emprejoes. that's what makes the treatment so controversial. doctors are hoping that this therapy will one day help them repair bodies damaged by accidents and war, and, of course, by a number of diseases.

in animal trials, as you can see here, parl lysed rats actually regained some movement after they were injected with nerve cells made from stem cells, but it remains to be seen if this kind of treatment can actually work on humans. dr. george daly of the stem cell institute is here to talk about what's happening here in atlanta. dr. daley, i know we're going to talk about the concerns here, but this truly is a milestone within this work, correct? >> oh, yes. this is an incredibly exciting day. it is a milestone for stem cell research. >> and why is that? is it because it is no longer being tested on animals but that an actual human has agreed to go forward and do this? >> yes. i mean, this is really the realization of over a decade of very hard work by many

scientists. human embryonic stem cells were first isolated in 1998 and they have been the subject of intense study. they're incredibly important tools for research, but this is the first time that we're actually seeing them moved into patients. it's a first step but it's a very long journey. >> let's talk about the fact that this patient, that they had to get an accident patient that just suffered this injury within two weeks. is it because they want a newly damaged spinal cord and that helps -- i mean what they hope to do might regenerate a little quicker? explain to me why they're not doing it on somebody who has been paralyzed, for, say, 20 years. >> well, yes, the way this is being done is to attempt to really mimic the really positive results that various research teams have had on rodents.

if you can make an acute injury, a crush injury in a rodent, you can actually show that by putting these cells back, you can restore some of the function, literally make these rats be able to walk. so they're trying to mimic what they have been able to show in these animal models in human patients. so they're looking at patients with acute injury. >> so, how long could it take before we see if this actually helps this patient walk again? are we talking months, years, decades? >> yeah. well, it's very, very important to realize that this is a first step. this is a trial that's really going to teach us mostly about the safety of these cells. we don't really have the ability to predict that these cells are working. in an acute spinal cord injury, it's very hard to predict the ultimate outcome of these patients.

and so we're going to be infusing these cells and we're going to watch the patients very carefully. the most important thing is for us to know that we can deliver the cells safely without putting the patient at risk. this is the most important part of this. now, over the next many years, there will be additional patients and they'll be an accumulating experience, and hopefully one day we'll be able to know whether the treatment itself is actually improving the function of these individuals. these are brave, brave first patients. >> sure. i can't imagine going through an accident, becoming paralyzed and having to make a huge decision like this, to become basically an experience, within two weeks. i think you nailed it using the word brave. you've done amazing work, dr. daly. we're eager to follow up on this and see how it goes. >> well, this is an entirely new area of medicine. we're no longer trying to use drugs here. we're trying to say we can get

at the root causes of disease. spinal cord injury involves the loss of the ability of the spine to conduct the nerve signals, and what this experiment is trying to do is to return the cells which act as the insul laying on the spine, to allow these nerve signals to continue, and the hope is in the long term that we're not necessarily going to have patients getting up and walking but we're just going to provide enough function to make a real difference in their lives. >> dr. george daley, thanks for your time, sir. >> my pleasure. straight to chile, now, the president making remarks outside the hospital where those miners are. let's listen in. well, we apologize. we thought we had the audio

we got a developing story now. hurricane paula has been downgraded to a tropical storm. bonnie schneider telling us the latest on that. >> we are looking a definitely a weaker storm system. paula now has winds at 70 miles

an hour. we were watching the winds come in from the vortex messages as the hurricane planes were transmitting them. you can see the storm over the northwest corner of cuba, a mountainous area, so there is concern for mudslides. there are still tropical storm warnings and a tropical storm watch up in effect for the florida keys because we are likely to see strong winds associated with the system. let's look at the projected path. this is good news for the u.s. because the storm is projected to curve well away from the u.s. mainland but it will hang over cuba longer, and that means more rainful. you can see the cone of uncertainty has shifted to the south but the storm is forecast to weaken dramatically over the next couple of the days. taking a look at how it will impact the united states. it will bring wind and rain to areas in the south but not for long as the storm turns away from the u.s. elsewhere, we are monitoring a

nor'easter ramping up, bringing wind and rain already to the carolinas, and maryland and virginia. all of that is heading into pennsylvania to cities like philadelphia and further north to new york today. it will affect air travel as we go through tomorrow. that will head even into northern new england as we get into tomorrow as well. a lot happening on the eastern half of the country. the western half looks nice and quiet. >> that does it for us. we'll be back here tomorrow, 9:00 a.m. eastern. now i toss it off to my favorite man -- of the 11:00 hour. >> of the 11:00 hour, nice. >> love you. >> i love
