so take a deep breath, travel safe. welcome to the new reality in air travel and as the catch phrase now hasaught us please, please don't touch anyone's junk. that's the "xyz" of it. we want to begin with breaking news right now and it is a horrific deadly scene so we're not going to show you live pictures because we can't. we'll show you a couple of stills and walk you through some of these. these are photos from cambodia. details just now coming in to cnn. there has been some sort of human stampede in the cambodian capital of phnom penh. it happened monday night at one of the country's largest annual festivals. it's called the water festival there. it happens every year. this happened in a crowd of what witnesses say was we're hearing 4 million people all in phnom penh at once. as far as the horrible figures we have so far in terms of the

stampede and fatalities preliminary reports say as many as 339 people may be dead and that number has been very quickly rising. we've been watching the story literally for just five minutes and that number is rising. we are watching these -- the breaking pictures, the numbers, the stories. we're trying to get to the bottom of how this could have happened. we're told they're also looking for bodies in the river and you know we have an international deafening right now picking up the phone and making all kinds of phone calls to get us someone on the phone to walk us through this horrific story unfolding in cambodia. hundreds dead in this human stampede at this water festival. supposed to be a happy celebration in phnom penh. more on that through the show. also watching for you this other developing story, this terror threat overseas has gripped an entire nation. people are nervous. security forces are taking action. i'm talking specifically about germany and the city of berlin.

this is the building with its glass dome that sets apart the berlin skyline. that famous dome is usually open to visitors. this is parliament. today it's closed. the building is surrounded by armed guards. also today at airports, train stations, city centers all across the country, security is very tight today. and there is a stronger than usual police presence. plus a government official says he has con create evidence that terrorists are planning something bad and something soon with germany. so what is going on? police, they're not saying anything specific but a big circulation magazine there in germany is reporting that an informant linked to al qaeda gave authorities details of a planned mumbai style attack on this particular building. remember it was just two years ago in mumbai the tourist hotel was bombed, shot up and set on fire by hostage-taking gunmen.

it was two years ago thanksgiving. so we're watching germany. also for you in the elevated security level there. but we can't stop talking about airport security right here in the united states. every single day there are more travel horror stories, tsa responses. it's all part of this whole terrorism/are we safe conversation. and also am i right that al qaeda is bragging about giving details -- almost this grocery list of items you're about to hear about those explosives found on the cargo planes we were reporting on about a month or so ago from yemen. so much to talk about with paul cruickshank. quickly talking germany, if terrorists are behind this berlin scare, i'm curious if you see this as this has been effective even though they haven't gone through with anything. if this is a credible threat might this be as effective because they're already terrorizing germany.

>> that's right. germany is on edge at the moment. it does seem to be a credibility threat coming from al qaeda in pakistan. some sort of mumbai-style attack directed at germany, programs targets in berlin we understand. they're very concerned about this right now. yeah, it is a credible threat from al qaeda to germany, brooke. >> let's talk about the al qaeda online magazine called "inspire." over the weekend they released all kinds of details of the yemen parcel bomb incident. why would they publish these details? talking specific of previous operations, future operations. in releasing this information, what's in it for them? >> it's for propaganda effect. like you were saying to make people afraid, to terrify people. they're releasing a lot of detail about this attack, pictures of the devices, clearly

showing it was them responsible. they're saying by launching smaller attacks not necessarily killing a lot of people they can change the american economy. it's death by a thousand cuts as they put it in their statement and they say more attacks of this ilk is on the way. >> what does that mean? death by a thousand cuts. what are they eluding to? >> what they're trying to say is that by forcing the united states to spend billions more dollars on cargo security or scanners like we're seeing today in the news, they're going to create a lot of disruption to the american economy and that by creating all that disruption, al qaeda will be successful, al qaeda will prevail. this very much has the signature of two americans now with al qaeda in yemen. one al au laky and the other samir khan. they understand american vulnerabilities and american psychology how when you have more difficulty traveling on

thanksgiving that can damage people's life. >> they repeated the threat the u.s. could expect more bombs despite its airport security phobia. i'm sitting in this chair every day during the week talking about the latest pat-down, full body scanner. a lot of people are on high alert. so in a sense i'm just curious with all the tsa cracking down if you're looking from a terrorist point of view, have they already won? >> well, this new scanning and new pat-downs i think are absolutely necessary. this group al qaeda in yemen have got this new bomb type petn which experts can't attack. authorities have no choice but to introduce this new screening. but what they have done is make the u.s. spend millions and mlts more on this and really spoil the qualities of life for a lot of americans traveling. to that degree they've succeeded but obviously they have not got an attack through yet. >> i also want to point more to the article they released over

the weekend in terms of if we can get in the nitty-gritty details because they did. they said the yemen cargo bombs took three months to plan. said they were economical. this goes a list of the items they used. got this specific. two nokia mobile phones at $150 each. two hewlett-packard printers $300 each. shipping, transportation, other miscellaneous expenss for a total bill of $4,200. this is like a grocery list of items for a terrorist. why are they showing this to us? >> they want to say with minimal spending, they can cause maximum disruption and they can do it again and again and again. that's what they're trying to say here, brooke. >> what are we doing to fight back? is what we're doing in the airport a perfect example of making sure that this doesn't carry out, doesn't continue on? >> that's part of it protecting the public that way. but the key thing here is intelligence.

it's stopping these plots before they actually come into fruition. and with this most recent cargo bomb plot, it was information from saudi arabia, passed on the united states and other allies which prevented this plot from being deadly potentially. so the key thing always, always -- in germany right now and the united states right now and anywhere else, it's intelligence, stopping these plots before they come to fruition, brooke. >> final question. they talk about specifically future attacks and say they're going to focus on the smaller attacks, as you had mentioned center erg on the u.s. airlines and industry. now that we have that information what does the u.s. do? >> well, the united states authorities have to remain vigilant. there will be more screening of cargo. they'll try to make sure the less cargo goes on passenger flights. al qaeda were hoping that passenger flights were going to be the ones blown up in this attack. so all those sorts of measures go into place. u.s. authorities are treating this very, very seriously.

unfortunately oob you, even if you had 100% screening it would be very difficult to stop these sorts of devices because it's difficult to detect them with bomb-sniffing dogs and x-rays. it's pretty impossible to take every piece of cargo a part. that disruption would be huge. >> would it be impossible? >> that's the problem. absolutely, i think it's impossible to go through all cargo with a toothbrush like that. i think that's absolutely impossible. it's all about minimizing risk. >> what do we rely on then? intelligence sharing? hoping intelligence comes through that's credible like what happened with yemen and saudi arabia? >> absolutely. intelligence sharing, working together with other intelligence services in britain and germany and places like saudi arabia, trying to get people inside these groups to produce that critical intelligence. that is the first line and best line of defense here. that's the truth. >> paul cruickshank, always great to have you have on.

thank you. that's when i had to pull it out and show her the prosthesis which was very embarrassing and very degrading. >> the prosthesis. what might that be? that is her breast. a flight attendant, veteran flight attendant said she had to remove her prosthetic breast to go through airport security. is the airport screening process out of control now are wii just too sensitive? she will join me and you'll hear her story firsthand. the jury reaches a verdict in the murder of intern chandra levy. update on the breaking story out of cambodia. everyone supposed to be celebrating this three-day water festival. 4 million people in the capital city. already hundreds reported dead in a stampede. l fruit, which provided for their every financial need.

she says he put his hands around her neck. but why didn't she file a police report at the time? one of the questions we're asking. also maybe she was too scared. maybe she was trying to cash in on his celebrity. drilling down on that ahead. sarah palin, might she, maybe, maybe, possibly plan to run for president for 2012? there are all kinds of reports that she's scouting for office space in iowa. that's the latest bit we're hearing. drilling down on that with mark preston.

welcome back to the "newsroom." in case you hadn't heard, sarah palin is thinking about, talking about, maybe running for president.

i'm sure you never heard that, right? here you go. >> you know, a lot of sacrifices have to be made. so it would be prayerful consideration and then getting a good lay of the landscape too, the political landscape because i would be in it to win it. if there are others that want to make the sacrifices i will support them. if not i would do it. >> if you ran for president could you beat barack obama? >> i believe so. >> okay. so the daily palin is running report comes to us from england. get this. today's london guardian quoting some iowa rabbi who says a palin staffer approached him for advice on long term access to kosher food. look it up. that's what they're reporting. that's what i did. mark preston cnn political editor. let's put the value of that story aside, mark. sarah palin, is she or isn't she? >> it's a great question. and that story raised a lot of eyebrows late last night and this morning. the story was debunked.

she's not looking for office space in iowa but is visiting twice. is she or is she not running for president? the last couple of weeks we saw things where she said she was running for president. i'm not convinced she is totally in it to win it right now. clearly she hats great name i.d. and she'd play really well with conservatives. the gig question is, though, would she win in a general election? if you look at poll numbers it shows her unfavorable rating is a lot higher than her favorable rating. i think she has a lot more thinking to do. >> a lot of thinking but you know as well as i do the first step you have to win the party's nomination. late last week we polled the republicans. you have huckabee, romney, palin, gingrich, in that order.

palin third place. by the way, mark preston, let's listen to the former first lady. i'm sure you've seen this. barbara bush talking to larry king. >> what's your read about sarah palin? >> i sat next to her once, thought she was beautiful and i think she's very happy in alaska. and i hope she'll stay there. >> and i hope she'll stay there with larry king laughing out loud. mark, i guess we're hearing a little bit, i'm guessing palin has a little work to do with the republican establishment. >> there is a lot of skepticism about her here in d.c. but that's not where she gets her energy and it's not her base. i was in new hampshire and talking to politicians up there albeit established republicans. what their saying in fact she is not even building an organization in new hampshire. that's an important early voting state. is she running? if she were to run, a lot of

folks in new hampshire think she would bypass that state and start out in iowa and skip ahead to south carolina. because these are really influential with christian conservative and they play a big role in the republican primary in these two states. not surprising not only is she going to iowa on her book tour tomorrow but concludes in south carolina. >> interesting. i know we're all pontificating on the timing. you have this whole let's call it the palin brands. you mentioned her book tour. her second book releases tomorrow. "dancing with the stars" tonight, a different palin but a palin nonetheless. her reality show on tlc. on fox book and twitter and facebook. are we reaching the sarah palin brand saturation if we can call it that and is there possibly too much palin for her own good? >> i think there's too much palin just in general but she always gets mad at the media.

but the fact of the matter is she's putting herself out there and her family out there. we're going to cover her every move. she's very influential in the republican party p as far as it goes for market she's very smart. you have to strike it when it's hot. >> i gets the lame streak media will be along for the whole ride right. take a look at this. >> it's a lifetime of broken hearts. >> finally we hear from chandra levy's mother just a few hours ago reacting to the verdict of a man accused of killing her daughter. we'll play more for you. that is ahead. is airport security screening out of control? i talk with a flight attendant of 32 years who says she had a very embarrassing encounter with the tsa. that's ahead. ♪ but i really love my bank

back on the breaking story out of phnom penh, cambodia, the massive stampede. latest number 339 dead. that number is rising. steve finch is joining me on the phone all the way from cambodia. he's a reporter with the phnom penh post. tell me where you were when this whole thing happened and what you saw. >> reporter: okay. we're hearing reports at first that there was a bomb blast on the bridge. then we were hearing the bridge collapsed. so i went over there. the incident happened around 10:00 p.m. local time. i was there shortly before 11:00 p.m. and when i arrived, there was just a stream of emergency

vehicles arriving. there were bodies everywhere, people trying to resuscitate victims. we saw one or two bodies that had just been left there because their friends or family weren't there or there were no emergency vehicles to collect them. it was chaos. and as soon as we saw the scene we knew the original reports saying ten dead from the government but of course that quickly escalated. >> that is now much higher. let me stop you. may i stop you for just a moment, steve? i'm trying to get the chronology in order. how many hours ago did this happen? >> reporter: okay. so this happened 10:00 p.m. so roughly five hours ago. like i said, i was at the scene just before 11:00 p.m. and we had a situation that -- so 1:00 a.m. at one of the main hospitals they were lining up the bodies and we had a count of

127 at 1:00 a.m. at one of the hospitals. so like i said, just about 45 minutes ago the prime minister announced live on air it was the worst single inches accident since khmer rouge in cambodia and 339 dead. >> we're looking at pictures of this bridge. you said something earlier i wanted to follow up. you said it sounded like a bomb blast. describe that for me. >> reporter: these are the reports we were getting at first. at first there was a report of a bomb blast. of course that wasn't the case. then we heard the bridge collapsed. when we arrived we could see the bridge was intact. on the bridge is piles of clothes and sandals from the victims. what seems to have happened is during the stampede some were thrown over the river and they were scouting the river looking for bodies that had been washed

down the river. >> steve, do we know what sparked the stampede? >> reporter: okay. so we spoke to eyewitnesses at the hospital and there's been an announcement through government officials. there's conflicting reports at this stage. but what we do know is there was a large number of people, about 1 million people on this little island that's just across from the river and the bridge goes from the mainland to the island. and one bystander said there was a stampede, that people were falling unconscious. and then at one stage, there were police firing water at the crowd trying to move them along. and there were different eyewitnesses saying that then some people were electrocuted because the brimming h-- the bridge has lights going down each side. one eyewitness said police were

electrocuted as well. >> steve finch, i want to get off the phone with you and continue to information gather, find out if you can how many people are injured because we're getting the number the death toll is quickly rising. we try to get to the bottom of what specifically happened. we're looking at pictures of that bridge where the stampede happened. police are still looking in the river below this bridge. thank you. as soon as you get more information, hop back on the phone with me. >> reporter: okay. will do. thanks. on that note, we will be right back.

chandra levy's name entered all of our vocabularies in 2001.

today a jury hands down a guilty verdict to the man charged with her murder. let's look at the man. this is the defendant ingmar guandique. he was an immigrant from el salvador. he faces life in prison for what prosecutors say was an attack on the intern while she was out jogging in a washington, d.c., park. two charges of first degree murder. guilty on both those charges. listen now -- i want to play you chandra levy's mother minutes after she heard the verdict. >> i'm sorry. i'm emotional here. but no matter what my family has in a sentence here, the result of the verdict may be guilty but i have a lifetime sentence of a lost limb missing from our family tree. it's painful. i live with it every day and so do my son, my mother and other

family members. crime affects more than one person. when you have a crime and someone dies of homicide -- which there are too many in america -- it affects probably a hundred other people and their surroundings, cousins, friends, relatives. it's a lifetime of a broken heart. >> a lifetime of broken heart. i want to bring in sunny hostin legal contributor for trutv's "in session." it's emotional stuff. imagine nine years since your daughter is murdered. i don't even know if closure is the right word for this. >> i've spoken to many victims' families, brooke, over the course of my career as a prosecutor. they all say there's really no such thing as closure. things get better but there's always that hole. i think she was eloquent in saying there is this limb from our family lost forever and this is something i live day in and

day out. i hear that all the time. >> obviously emotional for the parents and for the jury. i hear they were wiping tears as the verdict was read. a verdict, sunny, no real surprise here? >> i was actually very surprised at this verdict. this case came out of the u.s. attorney's office in d.c. which is my alma mater. i know the prosecutors and the u.s. attorney and i did not think they had a strong case. no dna evidence, no forensic evidence, no co-conspirator confession. all they had was his alleged confession to a cell mate and his alleged confession to a woman he was writing letters to. they had the testimony of two women also attacked in the park. the jury said that was compelling evidence for them but without dna i was very surprised at the verdict. >> no dna or witnesses.

what do you think put it over the edge for the prosecutor? >> this was a skilled prosecutor amanda hayes. i know her. i think it was sort of a lot of that, a good prosecutor but also the testimony of the two women who had been attacked by this defendant in the same park around the same time and he was serving time for those attacks. i think the jury made it clear that was such compelling evidence, if he was guilty of that and then sort of made these confessions, all of that together was enough to result in a jury guilty verdict for him. >> finally as we all nine years ago talked about chandra levy and learned the name gary condit. he testified, refused to have a conversation about whether he had had an affair with chandra levy. >> he says it ran him out of public office. he did testify.

he didn't admit to having a sexual relationship with her but some of the evidence showed that a sexual relationship was established by the fbi here. i think this was probably a very good day for gary condit because perhaps now he can move past the chandra levy case. >> we're now hearing guandique will be sentenced february 11th. thank you. look at this. >> that's when i had to pull it out and show her the prosthesis. which was very embarrassing and very degrading. >> a flight attendant there said her airport security screening was a disaster when she was forced to remove her prosthetic breast for the tsa. we're going to hear the whole story for yourself. there she is good enough to join me live to tell her story.

>> this is when they take you -- did they take you to a separate room at least? >> yes, yes. no. they took me to a separate room. there were two women there, the one that told me i had put my i.d. in the wrong spot was the one that patted me down. when she came to the side of my breast that had the cancer surgery, she felt it and put her hand on top of it and asked me what it was. when i told her i was a breast cancer survivor and it was a prosthesis, she said she needed to see it. at that point, i removed it from my shirt and showed it to her and then she said it was fine and i was okay to go. >> so you're standing there -- at least in a private room. you pull this prosthesis out of your bra. you have it in your hand and show it to them. >> right. >> what was going through your head at that point in time? were you humiliated? were you angry? >> i was embarrassed and ashamed. it -- it was just -- you know,

you don't like to tell everybody you're a breast cancer survivor and to have to show a prosthesis was just overwhelming is what i thought of it. i was embarrassed. i didn't file a complaint about it. >> you didn't. why didn't you, catherine? why didn't you file a complaint with tsa? >> i guess because it is my job and i do know how important security is. i mean, i don't disagree with that. what i disagree with is touching private body parts. that's just -- to me, that's just gone a little bit too far. >> and your story is just sort of the latest. i could sit here as we sort of did and recount several stories -- examples of outrage of children, you. yet at the same time we just showed the poll and the majority of americans say we get it. these full body x-ray machines, yes, we're okay with it. i guess my question to you having gone through this though,

where the right and the wrong? are we being too sensitive? happenings the tsa gone too far or is this a necessary evil? >> i think it's a -- kind of all three actually. i do believe that it's a necessary evil. i do believe that things need to be looked at because as we know the terrorists have taken over control. in fact, we're still being terrorized by just the fact that we're now being forced to be touched in private areas by strangers. >> has that ever happened since this happened? august? >> no, it hasn't. >> when you say it's a necessary evil but it's something we're all going through and for you it takes it to a whole other level. catherine bossi, i thank you for telling me your story. listen to this. >> how close did you come to shooting him? >> my finger was on the trigger. i had nightmares about this for

wait until you hear what ca katherine schwarzenegger says about life at home and why she was ashamed of her body. she joins me in the studio live. hi, i'm brooke baldwin. welcome to the newsroom. the top of the hour, we begin with breaking news. tragedy unfolding in a massive scale on the cambodian capital. take a look at these pictures. a human stampede. hundreds of people are dead. look, the pictures, the video, the witness accounts are horrific. on the phone with me is a reporter with the post. steve, the latest number i have from cambodia's minister of information, 339 people dead. what sparked the stampede? >> the wall festival. had a huge number of people all over the island. the refr in phnom penh.

we heard the police were firing water cannons to move people across the bridge. people were elect ro curocuted e there were lines and lights on the bridge. people were falling into the water. now the death toll is 339. >> investigators looking for bodies in the river below that bridge and on that bridge as well. do you know any numbers as far as injuries go, steve? >> 329 people were reported injured. a few hours ago. but get an update tonight and a press conference tomorrow in which there'll be a more detailed account in the number of dead and injured and an explanation of what happens. >> this happened in a couple of

hours ago, 10:00 p.m., evening your time. to put this in perspective, the prime minister came out and said this is the biggest disaster, biggest tragedy since the khmer rouge? >> yeah. >> on television a few hours ago trying to shut off the scale of the tragedy. then i was on the hospital -- one of the hospitals that was receiving the victims and the bodies were lined up outside. and it was quite gruesome seeing that. >> bodies outside. looking at pictures rushed to the hospital. you know in the country, this is one of the poorer countries in this region of the world. can the hospital handle this? >> i think if you look at what was happening, they seemed to be doing a good job. all of the ambulances and police cars stream iing some of the

bridge. of course the question is can the hospitals scale this incident? and certainly they were overflowing, one of the hospitals was that i saw. and, yeah, when the facility there, not good. >> steve finch of the phnom phen post. thank you. also unfolding right now, rapid fire. a driver responsible for a truck full of nuclear weapons and alcohol. not a good mix or a movie plot as well. the energy department said the watchdog is telling us about it. listen to this. investigators found 16 alcohol-related incidents involving government agents hired to drive nuclear weapons and components. the two most troubling happened in extended missions while agents check in the local hotels and the vehicles were placed in what's called safe harbor. in 2007, the agent arrested for

public intoxication. and last year, two agents were handcuffed and detain bid a police after an incident in a local bar. to zbafrn now where i have to tell you about political uncertainty there today two months after parliamentary elections, 119 candidates have been disqualified. most of them are suspected in connection to fraud with the voting. 25 of the candidates had lock in their seats. a spokesman for thee welcome to recall complaints commission tells us 330 polling places have been declared invalid. next, king abdullah is on his way here to the u.s. for medical treatment. the country's state-run media tells us the king has a herniated spinal disk and blood clots causing him back pain. he's 86 years of age. and ruled saudi arabia since august of 2005 when his half brother died. next, a plea today from the families of two american hikers

held on suspicion of espionage charges in iran. please let them go. the second thanksgiving without them. we're backing there. they have been held in that iranian prison for more than a year now. a third hiker, sara shourd was released a couple of months ago in september to get medical treatment. all three illegally across the board from iraq. and yesterday, the government postponed the trial for bauer and fatale until february. nepalese peacekeepers had something to do with the outbreak of cholera in haiti. you remember the pictures of people angry. they accused the peacekeepers from bringing the peacekeeper from nepal. they have been investigated and the suspicion doesn't seem likely. here's what they say. >> at the same time, yes, we have been meeting with different experts, including

epidemiologists. last week i gave a summary of the various tests we had done at the area of the nepalese battalion and those tests, as i -- as i pointed out at the time, had all been negative. yet, that's not conclusive in terms of excluding them of the possible outbreak but neither does it support the theory they had anything to do with the outbreak. >> the u.n. is sending one of the humanitarian officials to haiti tomorrow to check on how the cholera victims are being treated. next, back here at home. a tough one -- a toddler falls to his death from a luxury suite at staples center out in l.a. folks, that's about a 50-foot drop, it happened last night minutes after the lakers beat the golden state warriors. police say the little guy all of 2 or 3 years old died at the hospital. obviously they're investigating. next, get ready to pay more if you're hitting the road for the thanksgiving holiday.

take a look, gas prices 23 cents higher this year than last year. that's for nationwide, according to triple a. that's not going to stop people from going to visit their family and friends. triple a spokeswoman here in georgia tells us they will be able to fly because it's cheaper in the long run instead of flying. getting word that the military had to scramble two m-16 fighter jets after a small jet violated air space in the nation's capitol. they had to evacuate part of the white house briefly. the jets escorted the plane to an airport in virginia, manassas, virginia. the officials are out there interviewing the pilot. no word on whether or not the plane posed a risk. but as soon as we get an update on that, i'll pass it to you. listen to this -- police find a rifle, a backpack, and a blood-soaked t-shirt at a park in utah and they found those things after a park ranger was shot.

now they're looking for someone they believe is armed and dangerous. that is ahead. plus, five years later and still no answers for natalee holloway's family. but -- everything could change in just a matter of hours. we'll go live in aruba on the story. next.

case has been arrested in peru in an alleged murder wrap. there's possible movement on that story. live to aruba and cnn's jean casarez. there's a huge announcement coming out of aruba tomorrow on the testing of the molar and jawbone. is that right? >> that's right. we confirmed with the solicitor general taco stein that tomorrow afternoon, it is believed, that the forensic testing results will be announced here in aruba. the prosecutor's office behind me will be done via press release and e-mail possible live questions after that with aruban prosecutors. but this jawbone and tooth found by a family in massachusetts. they were here and on the 12th of november were on the beach near the phoenix hotel. they found what they believed to be a human jawbone with at least one tooth. they took it to the hotel who took it to police.

they hand delivered it to the hague in the netherlands. the netherlands forensic institute. it's being compared and has been with natalee holloway's dna from her mother and father, as well as dental records that arrived in the netherlands midweek last week. tomorrow is the day we will get, we believe, in the afternoon, the results from that forensic testing. >> now, when you say, jean, the results from the forensic testing, is that the prosecutor coming out and saying we know for a fact this is human and not animal. or arewill they say definitivel yes or no it could be natalee holloway. >> i think it could be anything. i think it could be conclusively it is natalee holloway's partial jawbone. that she's excluded from a human jawbone. that is not hers. it could be that being worn by the elements for 5 1/2 years that they cannot determine one way or the other. you know, brook, i was down at

the ocean where the jawbone was found. and we found some shells and i was shocked of the wear that the shells can get from the beating of the water. it's amazing. you look at a shell and think about a bone, 5 1/2 years would be a long time to have a lot of wear on those remains. >> a long time to have wear on the remains and a long time for a mother to wait to know where her daughter is. what happened to her daughter. do we know where beth twitty is? is she in aruba or alabama? what does she say? >> she is in alabama. and she is very, very grief stricken, should we say, waiting for this. she is the mother of this young girl went missing. and she's sitting on the edge of her seat as well as the rest of us. everybody on this island knows about this. everybody wants to know. they pass our live shot and say, what is it, do you know? the hope of this community is

with natalee holloway and what tomorrow's announcement may bring. >> joran van der sloot, never officially charged with anything with regard to natalee holloway's disa i appearance. always a suspect. and he's sitting in peru. >> he's sitting in peru charged with first degree murder. and joran van der slootaruba, r twice. the prosecutors said they're just waiting for the forensic evidence to corroborate his many stories that all have to do with her body being put in water. saying that, this island is full of water. everywhere you go, there's a swamp, a pond, or, of course, the ocean. >> we will most definitely have a date with you tomorrow to see what they decide. what the test results indicate tomorrow from aruba. so, we'll see you then for an update. jean, thank you. her father is the governor of california. and one of perhaps the biggest

movie stars -- the biggest movie stars in the world. so what in the world must life be like for katherine schwarzenegger. good enough to join me live in atlanta to talk about her famous family and dealing with, you know, a lot of young women deal with. body image problems. she's got a new book called "rock what you've got." don't want to miss that. that's ahead. and president john f. kennedy on the day he was killed. now after decades of silence, many of his secret service agents are finally speaking out their fascinating story next.

with ee're learning a littl

more about the jfk assassination and its aftermath. two secret service agents charged with protecting the president that very day reveal fascinating new details. they were good enough to talk to brian todd about the difference that two seconds could have made. >> reporter: they're a pair of stoic 78-year-old grandfathers. gerald blane and clint hill still carry themselves in that upright tradition, still have that bond that only secret service agents know, and still have vivid memories of that clear, crisp day in november nearly half a century ago. >> we couldn't help it. we felt like we failed. we all had the same mission and it was terrible for us. >> blane gives the opinion in that book, the kennedy detail. he's released less than 24 hours after the john kennedy assassination he almost caused an unspeakable tragedy. blane stood guard outside of lyndon johnson's house in early

morning darkness. exhausted, on edge, he readied his sub machine gun. >> put it in my shoulder, ste steadied my feet. around around the house, i recognized right away it was president johnson by his profile. >> johnson had come out to get some air. >> how close did you come to shooting him? >> my finger was on the trigger. i had nightmares about this for months afterwards. >> johnson, he said, turned white, said nothing, and went back in the house. i spoke with blane and clint hill a few feet from john ken dip's grave. hill wrote the forward to kennedy's book, but rarely spoke about that tough day. >> you had a tough time there in the years after the assassination. after your resignation, tell us what you went through? >> i had so many nightmares. every time i turned around, there was something that reminded me of what had

happened. so i clammed up and went in my basement with the alcohol and cigarettes and stay there had for a few years. >> clint hill was the first to get to kennedy's car in dallas. he broke into a sprint after the initial shot was fired. he said if he could relive those moments, jump on the back maybe two seconds earlier. >> without a question, i'd be taking a bull hit for the president and be dead. >> would be -- do you think that would be a happier ending if you weren't here to talk with us. >> there'd been a happier ending for the country and for everybody. >> how do you feel about that? that's a tough thing to live with for a number of years. >> it's one of those things that we do live with it. we have to accept the fact that we had a certain responsibility and you fail in that responsibility. so you just have to accept it and live with it the best you can. >> so riveted, brian todd, by your piece.

e-mailing back and forth this morning. i want to talk about clint hill who said, you know, had he been shot, if he'd taken that final bullet, it would have been a happier ending for this country. he's still tortured by that day. >> he seems to be a little tortured. not nearly as much as a couple of years ago. you would watch that interview for 60 minutes in 1975. he broke down in front of the cameras. it was torturous to watch that. i think he's made his peace with it to some extent. spending time with him, you get the impression that he thinks about it all the time. the passage of the years have enabled him to live with this and he moves on. >> i hope so. also a piece -- you couldn't get it in the piece -- you're able to share now. blane's account days before the jfk assassination, the secret service agent asked the detail to back off, give him more space. >> he did. a political trip to tampa on november 18, four days before the assassination. it was a long motorcade. they were big crowds along the

way. and at that time -- and i think to some extent now, the presidential limousines, they have handles and floor boards where the secret service agents can hold on and hold on to the president. they were on there, kennedy chafed at it. he asked them to back off. he explained there's a political trip. there's an election coming up. i need to interact with people. you need to give me some space. he said it in a nice way. he chafed at it and they did back off. it was an interesting detail. >> but do they -- do they -- do they think that had kennedy not chafed at it, had they been closer, would history have been rewritten a different way? >> right. both blane and hill told me. i asked them that question. it was days before. they told me it had no bearing on what happened in dallas. because at the point in dallas where the president was shot in deely plaza, that's the point where the limousine would be picking up speed to pick up the freeway a few yards away.

the secret service agents would have had to have backed off and followed up the car anyway. they wouldn't have been on the limousine at that point anyway. freaky to think of his request days beforehand, back off i need space. there's the open limousine again in dallas. >> lee harvey oswald, did he act alone? was he the lone gunman? oh. >> they think he did act alone. all of the conspiracy theorists are nuts. they've seen the evidence. they've both been back, gone over the logistics of it. that's part of what made him come to grips with the fact that he may not have been able to do anything. but they are firmly in the belief that lee harvey oswald acted eed by himself. >> riveting stuff. thank you. a massive man hunt under way for the person possibly linked in the shooting of the park ranger. story is developing right now.

that is next. plus, the police call the crime shocking. a mother, a son, her family friend brutally murdered in a small town in ohio. you know the story, found alive. bound and gagged inside of this guy's basement. hearing how and when. the gruesome detail the three died. that's next. been right there ♪ this life was saved... ♪ soothing sadness ♪ healing pain and this life was made easier... ♪ making smiles appear again because of this life. nursing. at johnson & johnson, we salute all those who choose the life... that makes a difference. ♪ you're a nurse ♪ you make a difference

now the three had been missing since november 10 along with herman's 13-year-old daughter. there she is, sara maynard. she found alive last sunday bound and gagged in the basement of his home. according to the coroner's report, he killed those three the same day she was found alive. hoffmann was arrested and faces a kidnapping charge in the girl's abduction. here's how the sheriff reacted to the case. >> how is the sheriff of this county for the past 18 years, i have never experienced a case this big, serious, and tragic. and in my entire law enforcement career, i have never experienced something like this. full autopsies. there's a person of interest in the shooting of this park

ranger. the sheriff says this guy, lance ariano, in 2008, they believe he's armed and dangerous and police think he's seeking medical attention. they found a rifle, a backpack, and part of a blood-soaked t-shirt while investigating the ranger shooting. the person of interest bit means police want to question him but to be clear he's not formally accused of a crime. 34-year-old park ranger brody young was shot multiple times. young had stopped a man in a car. the two shot back and forth, exchanged gun fire. young was shot in the arm, leg, and stomach. the last time we checked, he was in critical but stable conditions. the man hunt has been on since friday night. the sheriff says that police know the suspect's identity because young wrote down his name and license plate number before the shooting. investigators think young shot the suspect at least once before he got away.

many americans, perhaps you included, kicking off the holiday week on the roads, maybe in the air. and in some places, the weather not so festive. what do you mean it's festive? depends on your perspective. what you need to know about the forecast. and, mark preston, paul stein hauser with breaking news from the world of politics. the cnn political ticker with these two is next.

get down to the sevens that could help him. >> we've got to see the numbers changed. >> one more number from the poll. obama versus palin. a hypothetical matchup. may have them, may now. barack obama with 48% of that. that's a different poll. that's the old poll for a couple of days ago. he had an eight-point advantage coming out of that poll. our camera man zooms right in here. take a look at this. you can go to the cnn political ticker for more on that poll. and, brook, mark and i always tell you, these polls are snapshots of how americans feel right now and 2012 is a long way from there. >> we're a fickle folk. thank you both. you can get the latest political news at cnnpolitics.com and hop on political ticker.

don't stop taking plavix without talking to your doctor as your risk of heart attack or stroke may increase. people with stomach ulcers or conditions that cause bleeding should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines, including aspirin, may increase bleeding risk, so tell your doctor when planning surgery. tell your doctor all medicines you take, including aspirin, especially if you've had a stroke. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur.

and was there pressure? there had to be some. >> i don't think there was any extra added pressure. there's pressure from girls to be thin and beautiful and you have to look like you walked off a runway to be considered beautiful. my parents had me in a sheltered childhood out in the public eye and doing anything like that so we had normal upbringing. >> oh we have our tougher moments than others when we find our moms. i loved how you talked about maybe seventh grade you were changing and you had to put on your p.e. gym uniforms which are really hot -- not so much. i do the same thing. so it's like an awakening, the self-awareness of your body. >> the first time i was aware that there was more than just fat and skinny. i saw young girls tearing themselves apart in the mirror. i have fat arms, i want to get rid of this or that.

it's unbelievable. we have to build ousts up than tear ourselves down. >> there's a story in costa rica maybe your ninth grade year. >> after ninth grade. >> you're with a bunch of girls. you delve into serious topics including eating disorders. tell me what happened that night? >> a girl on our trip was previ previously bulemic after eating a huge feast one night in costa rica how to throw up. my best friend and mine were on the trip saying this is not for us. we can't do this. it shows the pressure women are under not to embrace their curves. girls can get to much more serious issues instead of just having a friend show you how to do something. >> embracing your curves, not just for young women, for parents too. you have all these sections, for mom's only. now, mothers, pay attention to

this. look, moms, if you ear staring in the mirror and nitpicking about your self, what do you think the daughter is going to think. you're sending that message. >> body image is an issue that affects women of all different ages. not just a 12, 13, 14-year-old girl. it's something that women deal with throughout their entire lives and you have to wake up every single morning to think positive or negative thoughts about your body. when a mother stands in front of a mirror and nitpicks, her daughter will do the same thing and think, my mom is treating herself like that. that's how i'll treat myself as well. it's important for moms to be cautious of that. >> very wise college junior, ms. schwarzenegger. tell us how you became comfortable in your own skin in college. do you have those moments where you think, oh, not a pretty day. >> i have times like that. every woman in the world wakes up and feels not so great about her body and felt better in the pals. but i really try to reiterate to myself the good things that i love about my body and my life.

and it wasn't until college that i reflected on my high school experience and realize how much time i wasted on trying to fit into this cookie cutter cutout for the media to put out there for women to look like. it's so important to embrace my curve and embrace my features and know everybody has a different body so stop comparing ourselves. >> amen, sister. >> thank you. >> happy thanksgiving. >> thank you, you too. still to come, it's a debate everyone is talking about -- patdowns at the airports. you might have to deal with this heading to l.a., missy. invasive or necessary? one client was asked to remove her prosthetic breast. that is next. i realized i needed an aarp... medicare supplement insurance card, too. medicare is one of the great things about turning 65, but it doesn't cover everything. in fact, it only pays up to 80% of your part b expenses. if you're already on or eligible for medicare, call now to find out how an aarp...

you know this in china, in the calendar rear of 2009, mining accidents claimed the lives of 2,600 people just this past sunday a coal mine flooded leaving 29 miners totally stranded. today, i can tell you that all 29 rescued. they are safe. as a chinese television looked on live, here were those pictures. interesting note, though, the english language network did a lengthy postmortem on safety issues but the main domestic feed moved on to the other topics once the cheering stopped. the point man at the scene was the top communist. listen to him. >> with our joint efforts and everyone's dedication, we achieved this, saving the 29 miners within 29 hours. i'm deeply touched and although excited but the accident is

really something past, we have to summarize what happened and summarize the whole process of the accident, detail it, and report it to the leaders. also just in, here's some more grim news out of new zealand where an explosion rocked a mine there on friday. oddly enough, same number, 29 miners. still missing. the robot they sent inside the mine to find signs of life once it got in there, it broke. on top of all of that, authorities say the air in that mine is so toxic -- too tokic to send rescue workers in right now. there may be a fire in there. still no word on whether parts or all of the mine collapsed and the 29 coal miners could have walked out in theory, but they have not. we have found out that the youngest of the miners is just 17. and katherine bos si, the flight attendant and breast cancer survivor. she was the subject of a tsa

patdown. the end result of that, herring there with her prosthetic breast in her hand. i asked her -- spoke with her earlier and asked her to tell me what happened. >> i was pulled out by the tsa to go through the new screening device. and i mentioned in the past because of my breast cancer i was concerned about added radiation. we get enough of that when we fly anyhow. so i did as i said -- i did as i was told to do because an employee that loves my jobs and loves what i do and did what i was told to. when i went in there, the tsa agent told me to put my i.d. badge behind my front so they could see the whole front of my body freely. i did that, after she was done -- after they were done with the picture, she pulled me aside i didn't do it correctly and now i needed to be patted

down. they took me to a separate room. there were two women there. the one told me i had put my i.d. in the wrong spot was the one that patted me down. when she came to the side of my breast that had the cancer surgery, she felt it and put her hand on top of it and asked me what it was. when i told her, i was a breast cancer survivor and it was a prosthesis, she said she needed to see it. at that point, i removed it from my shirt and showed it to her and she said it feels fine and i was okay to go. i was embarrassed and ashamed. it -- you know, you don't like to say tell everybody you're a breast cancer survivor and have to show a prosthesis is -- it was just overwhelming is what i thought of it. i was embarrassed. i didn't -- i didn't file a complaint about it. >> you didn't? why didn't you, katherine? why didn't you file a complaint

with tshs with tsa? >> it is my job and i do know how important security is. i don't disagree with that. what i disagree with is, you know, touching private body parts. >> where is the right? where is the wrong? are we being too sensitive? has the tsa gone too far? or is it a necessary evil. >> kind of all three, actually. i do believe it's a necessary evil. i do believe that you know things need to be looked at because we know the terrorist have taken over control of -- in fact, we're still being terrorized by just the fact that we're now being forced to be touched in private areas by strangers. >> i do want to let you know, katherine told me she never filed a complaint after that whole thing went down with the tsa. she told me she's not been since patted down that way since that

incident back in august. and, you know, we all know we're going to face heightened security at our airports this week. but there is one variable here as well travel, the weather. chad myers is here with what you need to know before you head out. just busy, busy thanksgiving week. that is next. i said "sure." "well, let's grow some algae." and that's what started it. exxonmobil and synthetic genomics have built a new facility to identify the most productive strains of algae. algae are amazing little critters. they secrete oil, which we could turn into biofuels. they also absorb co2. we're hoping to supplement the fuels that we use in our vehicles, and to do this at a large enough scale to someday help meet the world's energy demands.

apparently, kind of tough. i can see why to see the space needle in seattle this morning. three inches of snow fell on downtown seattle this morning. it's gradually accumulated through the day. still coming down, that's what we've heard. look at this. apparently middle and high schools in seattle let out a half an hour ago. a half day. always awesome. it's falling in the foothills of the cascades. if you are in western washington, expect dangerous wind chill and more snow tonight. cnn is your holiday travel head quarters and winter is apparently arrived. >> yes, what holiday would that be? >> that would be thanksgiving. >> say it like christmas here.

>> honestly, it has not snowed like this in seattle since 1985 in november. so, yes this, is a random event. but, seattle, you're going to get all the way down to the 20s today and in some spots away from the water, 15. so think about what happens to that slush that's on the roadway right now and on the walkway if you're going to go back and forth even to take the dog out; whatever, go get the mail. it's going to be a little ugly tonight. we have seen severe weather across parts of chicagoland up to we're seeing one severe thunderstorm warning here turned into the tornado warning to the southwest of racine. wisconsin right there, and illinois. this storm had a tornado on the ground earlier when it went across the line from illinois, wisconsin and that could be well south of racine headed your way. keep an eye on it. more weatherer to the south and southwest of chicago headed
