three of his grandchildren, but nato says they don't target individuals. we'll have a live report coming up. and at the vatican -- a step towards saint hood for the late pope john paul ii. the ceremony uses his blood as a sacred relic. and you won't want to miss this -- let me bring you back to focusing on the issues that matter, like did we fake the moon landing? >> after a night of ribbing from the president and comedian seth myers, i'll be talking to donald trump live right here on cnn. i'm don lemon. the news starts right now. and across the south today, sunday services were devoted to remembering victims of last week's devastating tornadoes. the loss of so many loved ones so quickly is taking a heavy toll on survivors. >> it has been hard days for all of us.

the school is gone. our church is gone. there's nothing. >> it is a scene that will play out over and over in the coming days. the death toll from the storms now stands at 339. thousands more are injured, missing or homeless. alabama today declared a day of prayer for the victims. the state suffered the greatest loss of life with about 250 people dead. federal officials today got firsthand looks at the destruction in mississippi and alabama. listen for them to struggle for words to describe what they saw. >> i've had an opportunity now to walk a few of these streets, you know, i don't think words can fairly express the level of devastation here. i'm not articulate enough to really express what i saw. >> a lot of people looked to

fema when we see tragedies like this. look at the people standing up there on that street. your fire department, the police department, the first responders, many of whom have lost their homes, many of whom in the middle of the storm were going out helping their neighbors. >> let's go right to smallville, mississippi, smithville, mississippi, i should say. a small town wiped out by a gigantic tornado. cnn's martin savage is there. a very different scene from easter services just one week ago. >> reporter: it is exactly. as we point out this smithville baptist church, services were held inside this sanctuary. then last wednesday came and the sanctuary was absolutely obliterated. today the services were held in the parking lot amidst the ruins of what was a horrible scene at a time of celebration for the parishione parishioners. they were celebrating that for the first time they could

embrace one another after the storm. you mentioned that homeland security secretary janet napolitano was here with other catholic members. and clearly you could tell that as they strolled through this, and they have seen a disaster or two, that they were very moved by the extent of the damage in this town. remember, this town was struck by an ef-5, that's the worst tornado you can possibly have. and here is how she spoke afterwards. >> on behalf of president obama, we will stand by and assist the state of mississippi and the people of smithville any way we can. we know that this storm hit this state hard, not just submitville, but a lot of the other communities as well. we also saw a number of other states hit. >> it was a very busy day at the smithville cemetery. it is ironic that this is the only business that is still in

business in this small town of 900 people. 15 people lost their lives here. i had a conversation with liza morgan who knows everybody in this town, that includes the living and the dead. she was preparing graves of the patersons today. and that is eldon and laverne paterson. here's what she had to say. >> the patersons -- their grandson and i went to school together. and now i coach their daughter in softball. they will be greatly missed. they were a special, special couple. >> reporter: that's why this tragedy is so deeply felt here, don. it is so personal in so many ways to everybody here. >> martin savage in smithville, mississippi. thank you very much. across the midwest, spring time storms have left major rivers at or near record flood levels. and the confluence of the ohio

and mississippi rivers lies the tiny illinois town of cairo. it is being squeezed on both sides by swollen rivers that are expected to crest tuesday and stay at peak levels until thursday. the levees are showing signs of stress. now the army corps of engineers is looking at destroying the levee across the river in missouri and to send the water into miles and miles of farmland there. susan candiotti is at the levee right now. are they really going to blow it up? >> well, that's the big question tonight, don. and for now no one knows the answer. the rain is really coming down here. and it has been for weeks. the latest is this. a missouri governor, jane nixon, tonight asked the u.s. supreme court to get involved. he is challenging the authority of the u.s. army corps of engineers as to whether it has the right to blow up this levee that you have been talking about. so they are asking for an injunction, we don't have an

answer to that yet, but we did spend part of the afternoon looking and visiting some farmland, visiting with a farmer who owns it. about 4,500 acres, his land is already under water, many parts of it here in missouri. that's the southern part of the area already being flooded by rains at record levels right now. however, the northern part of this particular area has not yet been flooded but it surely will if the levee is blown up. on the other side of the coin, you mentioned the town of cairo, illinois, on the north side of things. and they maintain that if the levee is not taken out, then their town could be destroyed. in fact, it would help protect them from otherwise getting flooded by waters that could rise as much as 20 feet officials say. obviously, in the middle of the u.s. army corps of engineers is them coming up with a solution to help everybody in the long run. and they said they have a big team of experts trying to work

this out. >> every hour we are in communications with the hydraulics folks, the national weather service, hundreds of engineers and scientists are together working exactly for the answer to that. how long can we hold? when will the water get here? and what will be the impacts? >> caller: now the u.s. army corps of engineers tonight also has begun to move barges in place that will eventually be filled with explosives along various points, about two miles along this levee. they have not done the loaning of the explosives yet, don, but they are moving barges into place and are monitoring this very closely. no decision has been made yet about when and whether they will blow this levee up. don? >> susan candiotti, thank you very much. we took you live to smithville, mississippi, a couple minutes ago. a community wiped off the map by the deadly tornadoes this week. ahead this hour, we'll take you

live to tuscaloosa, alabama. before this week, we have only heard of that town as a home of the university of alabama. now you likely know it as a place where more than three dozen people died. also, this time yesterday we were learning about a nato air strike in libya that killed one of moammar gadhafi's sons. today the fallout as gadhafi vows retaliation. and many of you have been asking for information on social media, reach out to us at twitter, facebook and at foursquare.com as well. buiing us network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. in an effort to give you the best network possible. curtis: welcome back to geico it's savings, on the radio. gecko: hello clarence from stevens point.

catholics now call him pope, but one day pope john paul ii could be called saint. today a giant tapestry of him was unveiled. the ceremony means now he can be called blessed, a title given when you have one confirmed miracle under your name. that involves sister marie seen carrying pope john paul's blood. she says he cured her of parkinson's disease. he needs a second confirmed miracle to be declared a saint. much more on the event ahead here on cnn. breaking news yesterday about moammar gadhafi. he's firing back. libyan forces opened fire on miss a ta today in the heaviest shelling scene in weeks. in tripoli groups described as organized mobs ransacked empty embassies belonging to the u.s. and several other countries. the attacks followed word that

nato air strikes killed a son of gadhafi and three of the libyan leader's grandchildren. the libyan government says saif al arab gadhafi died in the blast. moammar data fee was in the same building but survived. nato says they do not target individuals. here's a firstland hook at the scene of the bombing now in tripoli. >> there's a demonstration of several dozen women here at this compound where, of course, the libyan government said that saif al arab was killed in a demonstration saturday night. this is purely a residential compound. and this had no military significance whatsoever. they also say that moammar gadhafi himself was in this compound together with his wife when the bomb struck. obviously, ga a fee escaped unhurt. it is very difficult to tell whether or not this place had any sort of military significance.

certainly on the face of it you cannot tell whether or not there was a command or control infrastructure in here, which is what nato is saying. they are saying they struck a command and control facility. one of the interesting things is there's a crater right in the middle of this house where the authorities overnight have put a carpet over it to prevent us from filming inside. it is very interesting to see what is under that, however we are not able to see that. now, the government is also letting us sort of go around the neighborhood here because they say there is absolutely no military significance to the neighborhood as a whole. they say this is a neighborhood with embassies, a residential neighborhood, where there's no military infrastructure. but again, that is very difficult to verify. reporting from tripoli, india. there are sounds of celebration in benghazi. this is how people reacted when word came that a son of ga a fee was killed. gunfire, car horns, fireworks,

you name it. hundreds gathered in the square to celebrate the news. up next on cnn -- >> donald trump has been saying that he will run for president as a republican, which is surprising since i just assumed he was running as a joke. >> ouch. more of the squabs jabs coming up. and donald trump will join us live. imagination. ♪ the new blackberry playbook. ♪ cos i'm gonna make you see ♪ there's nobody else here, no one like me. ♪ small enough to take anywhere. powerful enough to take you everywhere. ♪ i'm special ♪ so special

truthfully i'm glad tobe sitting at the table with president obama. it is great to be working with some in the most powerful/poorest country. >> the white house correspondents dinner with politicians and celebrities come together to pretend they like each other for a few hours. a lot of the jokes came at the expense of the birthers, right? here are some of the best moments. >> and then, of course, there's donald trump. donald trump has been saying he'll run for president as a republican, which is surprising since i just assumed he was running as a joke. >> my fellow americans -- the

state of hawaii released my official long form birth certificate. but just in case there are any lingering questions, tonight i am prepared to go a step further. tonight for the first time i am releasing my official birth video. ♪ >> that was a joke. that was not my real birth

video. that was a children's cartoon. call disney if you don't believe me. they have the original long form version. >> that was just a small part of all the jabs last night. you saw donald trump at the beginning of the highlights. he was the butt of some of the stinging jokes at that dipper last night. and he really didn't seem very thrilled about much of it. we'll ask him all about it because he'll join me live next hour. you don't want to miss that. my conversation live with donald trump. punishment handed down, the pitching coach for the atlanta braves learns his fate following the confrontation with fans. we are talking about it where a writer from "sports illustrated" next.

i agree with you. all right, guys. i hear you. >> roger goodell at the nfl draft this week greeted by booing fans upset at the lockout. for a couple of days it looked like we were closer to getting football back, but now the lockout returned. now we'll go to john joining us from "sports illustrated." this week's cover "the beautiful games." john, that was a surreal moment,

wasn't it? >> yeah, it was like the comedian that gets booed off stage and isn't ready for it. the whole process has gotten strange. the commissioner is usually a dignified tower, but he was getting heckled. it was a weird moment. there was not technically a walkout banned, but now we'll find out if this is temporary or permanent. this was a collective bargaining corpography. we'll see what happens tomorrow, basically. >> that's where we officially stand, we won't find out until tomorrow what's going to happen? >> well, we are going to hear from this appeal's court whether this lockout that basically has been reinstated is temporary or permanent. i think now we've got -- what happened basically is going to court you lose control of the process. and right now, you know, if this is a permanent lockout situation we are in, suddenly the players have a much different proposition than if this was temporary. we are in a much different place than 72 hours when players could communicate with players and

teams and there was a draft. >> are you more or less optimistic there will be football this fall? >> you know, i still think somehow there will be, but i do think the nfl is starting -- there's a dignified lead. you have the feeling it turned into this circus. people have sort of thrown up their hand now. i do think it is one thing to talk about this when we start missing checks later this summer, but i think there will be football next season somehow. >> okay. we'll talk a little baseball today in the news. everybody was like, the braves won! you could hear people screaming in the newsroom today, but i want to talk about the controversy involving atlanta braves' pitching coach roger mcdowell suspended without pay for two weeks after a confrontation with fans in san francisco. take a listen to what the fans say about the scene that included a homophobic slur. listen. >> i had proceeded to yell out that there are kids here and they are listening.

and then he proceeded to turn and then say what you have been told, which is kids don't belong out at the ballpark. >> john, were you surprised at the punishment handed down by the commissioner's office? was it the right punishment? >> well, i just think we are still going to hear more about this, but what a strange case. to have a pitching coach, someone who has been in major league baseball now in his 40s this early in the season when we are all having a good time, he made a homophobic remark and said kids didn't belong at the baseball game. i suspect with this investigation proceeding the atlanta braves may have a new pitching coach, despite what the manager said seeming this will blow over. this is the kind of thing that baseball is not going to take too lightly. >> jon, i know you have a family and a life and all that, but you can't go away on vacation because i have people tweeting me saying, where's jon? they are used to seeing you on this show at this time.

>> i'll be back next week. i burned up my vacation. you have me next week. >> thank you, jon, from "sports illustrated." search and rescue crews scour the debris in atlanta looking for signs of life. did they have luck today? we are live from tuscaloosa straight ahead. meantime, we are watching more severe weather happening right now. tornado watches and warnings stretching across the mid-south. , building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. is teaching my patients how to start taking insulin. and i've learned a lot from patients who use levemir flexpen. flexpen comes pre-filled with my long-acting insulin,

south. >> well, flooding is a problem in other places. a tiny illinois town of cairo is facing pressure from rising waters on both the ohio and mississippi rivers. the army corps of engineers is considering blowing up a levee to ease the pressure in missouri. it could send floodwaters pouring across thousands of acres of missouri farmland. missouri has already lost one court case to stop the demolition. it is now asking the u.s. supreme court to step in. remember the air france jet crashing into the atlantic ocean two years ago? a memory unit, part of the flight data recorder, was recovered from the ocean floor today. officials hope it will provide answers to the crash. all 228 people aboard the airbus 8330 were killed on the flight to paris back in 2009. monday's launch of the space shuttle "endeavour" has been delayed a week. nasa says it will be next sunday at the earliest. the delay was prompted by concerns over the shuttle's

heating system. arizona congresswoman gabrielle giffords, the wife of the shuttle commander, was in florida but returned to houston today where she's been in rehab after being shot by a would-be assassin. she plans to return to florida when the launch is rescheduled. more than a million catholic faithful poured into vatican city to see pope john paul ii become beatified. the late pope is now one step closer to sainthood with a confirmed miracle under his name. the vatican is now investigating more than 100 claims of a second miracle, which is the final step needed for john paul to be declared a saint. for the past several days we have seen image after image of unbelievable tornado damage all across the south. but what's next for the survivors? it is overwhelming just to think about it. cnn meteorologist rob marciano is in alabama for us. rob, it has been four days, i guess it is four days too early to ask if things are getting

back to normal? >> reporter: well, they are trying. we have a huge influx of people from really all over the country here that have come down here unsolicited just to volunteer and help. we are in the community of hope just north and east of tuscaloosa, a very hard-hit area. you can see that from the devastation behind me all across the valley, but peek over here. this is just one of the many kind of depots of supplies or victims can come here to grab food, water, grab diapers, grab baby food, anything they might need just for basic survival. and that's all volunteers and donated. we spoke to the woman who ran that operation, she said it all developed with grassroot efforts of her saying i'm going down to tuscaloosa from talladega to start this operation. it has blown up. this is what she said earlier. >> for our families from talladega and the people that we met, we were just driving around

the first day after it hit. we met some people from augusta, georgia, and from st. louis, missouri, and we all got together to help. and we just kind of pushed our ways into the worst areas. and we have done it unorganized and this is what it has become. >> reporter: there she is giving orders again. diplomatically making relations with the local police officers and sheriff's department. that is la ringda there with her entire family. they spent $500 on hot dogs and hamburgers. everything else has been donated. an amazing outpouring of support here. the local and federal governments are here as well, but this is the most impressive to me and everybody who lives here is how much support they have gotten just from local communities and people coming in from outside the southeast. >> rob, that's good to hear. thank you very much. we appreciate your report. we'll get back to you.

alexandra steele here at the cnn weather center, it is good to see that. i was down there and didn't hear one cross word. people were all helping each other, scores of volunteers giving away their products. and we want to keep the bad weather away from those guys. please tell me it is not the forecast for them. the biggest issue today is flooding. we have seen the inundation of flooding. we talked about cairo in illinois, the confluence of the ohio and mississippi rivers. being forced to evacuate the 2800 residents, just one of the many places. farmland throughout southern illinois, missouri, arkansas, all being inundated with the rain. the problem is the rain is not over. we have a few more days of it. we'll get to it and walk to the wall to show you where the radar is and where we are seeing the rain. again, we have this line that's really just kind of crossing this i-40 corridor. here is a look. you can see this inundation called training. time after time these storms with this cold front not being progressive, thus not moving, so

this rain we have seen between 7 to 12 to 14 inches in the last week or so in these areas. we have had severe weather earlier in memphis where a big outdoor concert is being held. there was a tornado warning. we have had reports of some hail. but also it started really early this morning. we'll take you right now to north texas with one-inch hail earlier this morning. this was kind of just the onset of it. hail and very strong winds gusting up to 60 miles per hour today in north texas. a start of the morning. bending over flag poles to a 45-degree angle. those are two of the threats, but also flooding is the biggest concern. we have been talking about memphis because we had the tornado warning also, but there's also a lot of flooding in memphis. now memphis, especially within the city limits now, some towns you can see and even residential neighborhoods are inundated with this rain. so here's the problem. the flood watches and warnings in and around memphis. it is missouri, southern illinois, that red there denoting the flash flood

warnings. flooding is imminent or happening. here lies the problem. here's the forecast the next four days. more rain. look at this denoted in the yellow and orange. the brighter red, the more rain we are expecting, anywhere between 7 and 10 inches locally. on the average between 2 and 4. unfortunately in the forecast, more rain is coming. and we'll talk about the next seven days coming up in a little bit as well. and when we will finally see the progression of this pattern, thus kind of bringing down the rivers and streams. that's all coming up. alexandra steele, thank you. a virginia man receives bad news one day, but immediately turned it into a sweet business opportunity. our tom foreman has this story in part of our building up america series. >> reporter: when john ryeland was laid off after almost a dozen years after the same advertising company, he went straight home and right to work. even developing a budding interest in custom motorcycle design and thought just maybe

this was the right time to take it to the next level. did you really know how to go about starting a business? >> no. i had no idea. >> reporter: but he did know that even from richmond his advertising skills could help him reach the world. he quickly set up a website featuring his designs, sleek, sharp images of junk yard castoffs he was remaking into cool road warriors. wow. almost a quarter million views on this page. how about that? >> if i don't get 600 visits from 30 countries a day, then i'm bummed. i'm thinking, what am i doing wrong? >> reporter: along with his wife betsy he posts regular updates on his work, handles a steady stream of calls from fans an stays flexible. one day on a wim he made a lamp out of this.

they have sold 100 since and it is a major part of the business. john still free lances in advertising but his future is here. >> people are thinking, yeah, right, getting laid off is a blessing, but for me it is because this is going to work. it is picking up steam. >> reporter: just like he came home from work and hasn't stopped working yet. tom foreman, cnn, richmond, virginia.

his first meeting on reducing the deficit with congressional leaders. >> reporter: i'm dana bash in washington where congress is returning after two weeks back home. that means lawmakers have been with their constituents as gas prices have soared. and when members of congress hear the kind of frustration they did, they try to show they are listening. so house republicans this week plan to vote to increase oil drilling in this country and senate democrats promise to take up legislation ending taxpayer subsidies for oil companies. if both of those ideas sound familiar, they are. each is part of the political playbook parties dust off when gas prices rise. >> reporter: i'm paul stine hasser at the cnn political desk. this is on governor mitch daniels waiting a bid for the presidential nomination. wednesday he gives a speech here in washington with his words closely watched for any hints on whether he'll run. the next day, the first presidential debate in the race for the white house. the big question mark, how many probable republican presidential candidates will be on stage at the debate in greenville, south

process, but before he can become a saint, it is -- he needs one more miracle. and he has a website set up. check this out. the people in rome have set up this website detailing all the miracles that they have had, the testimonials that have come in, and they are keeping a log of all of this. this is to speed up his cannonization process. >> look how beautiful those pictures are of the pope. i remember we covered him twice when he came to the united states. you are just in awe when you see the pope mobile coming down the street. look how beautiful that is. just amazing. okay. thank you. we appreciate this. did you watch it? did you? the royal wedding. whether you cared or not, there were a number of pretty cool moments that you may have missed if you weren't paying attention or didn't watch. the hidden gems are coming up on cnn. but first, smart phones may be

oh, the cries for kate could not be outdone by the church bells. kate middleton looked stunning on her royal wedding day, but while all eyes were on the bride of britain, the tiniest of precious moments passed many of us by. don't worry, we have a royal recap for you. >> reporter: it's one of the most anticipated moments, when a groom sees his bride for the first time. but with all eyes on catherine, you might not have noticed prince william standing with his back to the congregation wanting to be the last one to see her. he waited for his cue from his brother, harry, as she approached the final stretch he whispered "she's here now." the most kept secret, her dress, was revealed to the world and

her prince. designed by sarah burton for alexandra mcqueen. the perfect mix of modern and traditional, but there were some things you couldn't see. a blue ribbon was sown inside the dress to represent something blue. her earrings were a touch of something new. a gift from her parents, though a custom made with a diamond encrusted acorn in the middle to represent the middleton's new family crest. and surprisingly her something boor reed was from the queen. a diamond-encrusted tiara called a halo made in 1936 for the queen mother. although we couldn't hear him, the groom melted hearts around the world when he leaned over and said to his bride "you look beautiful." then he seemed to relax and crack a joke to his soon-to-be father-in-law saying just a small family affair. the sermon went off without a hitch. sorry for those of you who vetted on prince phillip falling
