candidate in the field of republicans that are now running. they see a path of victory right now, martin, along these lines. they feel like they can reach out to social conservatives who are very important in the whole republican presidential primary process, bring them into their tent. after that they look at the tea party, which is really this growing movement that we've seen explode in the past couple of years. feel like they can reach out to the tea party movement, martin, bring them in as well. then after that they feel like they can reach out to everybody else. now, it is a very narrow path for victory for rick santorum. he's only at about 2% in the national polls at this point. but they feel like they can do well in a state like iowa, perhaps south carolina and nevada. you know something, martin? if we have a field that is going to be very big and large heading into next year, it might be divided up well enough that rick santorum might have that small path to victory. >> all right. let's see on that one.

let's talk about sarah palin now. she's trying to of course present herself as an unconventional candidate. today she was sounding pretty conventional. what did chshe have to say? >> it was really put on display when she took this bus tour up the east coast when she didn't even tell the media what her next stop was for pretty much every hour on the hour. you're right. she was on fox news today where she is a paid contributor. she talked a lot about what she thinks is wrong with the country. especially when it comes to the economy. she talked a lot about energy production and how she doesn't think that president obama would be or is doing enough, quite frankly. she also talked about foreign policy where she has been criticized a lot. the big question right now is, martin, do we think that she's going to run for president? she was asked that question today. this is what she had to say. >> on a spectrum where zero is an absolutely not running and 100% is i'm in the race, where are you now?

give me a number. >> still right there in the middle, chris. >> 50? >> still trying to figure out what the lay of the land will be as these weeks and months go by. >> we shouldn't be too surprised, there, martin that she is keeping us guessing at this point. look, whether or not sarah palin decides to seek a republican nomination or not, she's going to be a force in the republican politics and certainly will have something to say heading into next year as republicans try to consider who's going to be their nominee. >> without a doubt. mark preston, thanks very much, as always. in the northern plains a battle to save homes and businesses from flood waters. the missouri river is rising toward record levels. we've heard this before. one spillway has been opened to divert floodwaters. there's word today on a breach of one of the river levees in iowa. an update from jackie jeras. >> sounds all too familiar, doesn't it? just in a different location. we're watching the missouri river. you're saying to yourself why is this a problem? well, a lot of this has been happening due to snow melt.

we're saying, what, it's june. snow melt, seriously? let's take a look at the missouri river basin. a z you take a look at this map it's going to show you the missouri river. this is the state of montana. this time of year the snow is melting. it's late in the season because temperatures have been very cool. all of this has been going through the river basin system and kind of converging here into parts of the dakotas. so there's all this pressure that's been building up. they're trying to release it through some of these spillways and dams. this is a little different than what we're talking about on the mississippi river. this is where the spillway is where they released it. this time it went into a lake as o opposed to inundating farm lapd. they're trying to control it as it moves downstream. we're also watching the james river in major flood across parts of south dakota. that spills into the missouri river. we're looking at a very serious situation. lots of little rivers and towns along this way are preparing in advance of that release of water for where it comes. for example, one of our

ireporters from south sioux city, nebraska, sent us ireports of people preparing, sandbagging, getting their houses ready because they know it's coming. it's just not going to come for another couple weeks as it makes its way down that river. another thing people have been wondering about, what kind of impact is this going to have on the mississippi river? it's kind of a wait and see type of situation. here you can see all the warnings in effect for the missouri. then that does dump into the mississippi. by the way, the mississippi river still very high. we're still looking at major flood in places like baton rouge, marty. so water continues to be a big issue. this is more about the flow rate that's coming down. real concerned about a lot of these dams along the way because they were built before they've ever seen this much pressure from water before. so they're hoping there aren't going to be more of these breaches happening. that was in hamburg in southwestern parts of iowa right near the nebraska state line. we'll have to see if water makes

its way downstream. >> with many of the officials i was talking to about the flooding of the mississippi, that was their concern. how long will the pressure be on the levees. we'll watch it. expect to hear more expert testimony tomorrow when casey anthony's murder trial resuming in orlando. yesterday forensic scientists testified that hair taken from the trunk of the defendant's car was similar to that of anthony's daughter, caylee. she was reported missing, you'll remember, three years ago and then later found dead. in new york tomorrow dominique strauss-kahn is to be arraigned on sex crime charges. let's bring in our alison kosik. what can we expect, alison, on this? >> reporter: hi, martin. we are expecting dominique strauss-kahn to plead not guilty to the charges. you know, although that's what really begins the legal process for him, already it's been quite an ordeal. it's a story that created an immediate sensation. >> dominique strauss-kahn, the leader of the international monetary fund and a possible

candidate for president of france, was arrested earlier this morning for the alleged sexual assault of a new york city hotel maid. >> reporter: the allegations were sordid. inside, 62-year-old strauss-kahn allegedly was naken in the bedroom and grabbed at the maid, chasing her through the seat. authorities say as she tried to escape he shut the door and allegedly forced himself on her. sexually assaulting her. >> reporter: a late-night perp walk horrified his french countrymen. the next day his lawyers proclaimed his innocence. >> he denies these charges. >> reporter: the victim's attorney says she's telling the ruth. >> the trauma that has taken place in her life is extraordinary. >> serious allegations have been made and denied. >> reporter: since his arrest, the news media has closely tracked every move strauss-kahn makes. >> he's going back to rikers tonight. >> out on bail after his arrest for allegedly trying to rape a hotel maid. >> ooel be eating normal food,

sleeping in a normal bed. >> reporter: sort of normal after being rejected from the swanky apartment where he hoped to say. >> reasons he had to move was members of the press tried to invade his private residence. >> reporter: he ended up at a not too shabby place recently on the market for $14 million. >> a luxury townhouse. >> has its own gym, home theater, spa and bar. >> reporter: a high-profile lifestyle for a man facing high stakes charges. >> so, alison, i guess the question now is who's paying for all that luxury, the townhouse and the security? taxpayers? >> reporter: dominique strauss-kahn, he is paying for -- we're standing right in front of the townhouse where he's under house around. we're hears he's paying anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000 to rent the place. he's paying his own security. that's going for about $250,000 a month not to mention what his legal fees must be at this point, martin. >> well, he has the money.

what are his neighbors saying? what's being said on the street there? >> reporter: you know what's interesting that you mention that, "the new york post" also caught a photo of actress kirstie alley. she apparently staying next door at the time the photo was taken. she did speak to "the new york post" saying he's innocent until proven guilty. she was actually kind of caught talking about this. also we're hearing some of his neighbors are actually keeping tabs on him. they're telling us through actually the new yorker that he's put up these big umbrellas to try to keep out the paparazzi and prying eyes. he's put out these big umbrellas on his backyard to keep out the public so he can haveome privacy, go outside and get some fresh air. in other news, scientists say bean sprouts from central germany are likely the cause of the e. coli outbreak across europe that has killed at least 22 people. more than 2,000 have gotten ill from all of this. officials say that there is no

her peru's presidential election. it's runoff day. it's the battle of two extremes. on one side a former army officer considered a close ally of hugo chavez. on the other side the daughter of a former president with a strong personal connection to the united states. and the reputation of embracing the extreme right. peruvians are voting right now. actually, it's concluded. the latest poll information had shown that it was a very close race. it was neck and neck. but not close now. >> we have a winner, actually. we just got some results from our cnn affiliate, "america tv" which says that the former army officer you mentioned, the leftist presidential candidate ollanta humala is the likely winner of the election.

they're quoting exit polls, giving him 52.6% of the vote. his rival, keiko fujimori has 37.4% of the vote. let me tell you a little bit about humala. former colonel in peruvian army. he ran in the last presidential elections in 2006 but lost in the runoff. the reason why he lost was because there was this perception of him being a close ally of venezuelan president hugo chavez. he has moderated his stance since then. in these elections he's said that he favors more of the view of the ruling party in brazil. so he has moderated his leftist views. he doesn't want a social revolution of the type that venezuela has had. he led interestingly enough, he led a coup attempt against his rival in this election, his runoff, keiko fujimori against her father. you might remember fujimori was the president of peru for ten years from 1990 to 2000.

and now his daughter almost made it to the presidency. she would have been the first female president of her country had she made it. we still don't know, the probable winner is is her rival, humala. >> she had very strong american connections. >> very interesting. she actually went to school in boston. and went to business school, columbia. she has a business degree from there. she married a guy from new jersey. they have two daughters. of course, they live now in peru. >> so all of this as far as the outcome, you know, fujimori, i think of him and i remember there was the hostage crisis that was down there. it was not enough, apparently, with that name connection for her to pull off this election. >> her father is still very controversial. he is serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuses. however, there are a lot of people who credit him for improving the economy, for battling inflation, and also for

bringing peace to the country. we remember those years in which the maoist rebels ravaged this country with their cruel insurgency. he's also been known for human rights violations, corruption. it's a mixed legacy. the thing that was going against keiko fujimori was that at one point she had made a statement that if she won the presidency, she would pardon her father. she's backed away from that since then, saying she wants that to happen through an appeals process. >> thank you. always a pleasure to talk with you. especially when we've got the results of an election. would you publicly strip off your clothes for charity? a look at this novel approach to giving, just ahead in the chat room.

time to enter the chatroom for a look at some of the lighter stories that have been making news this week. jacqui jeras is joining here with me now. our first story comes from the university of washington. i thought this was an opportunity to kind of introduce gratuitous seminudity to the show. but it's not. >> it's not. i would never do that and i found this story, just so you know. take a look at the video, shall we? it's all for a good cause. there they are. >> stripping their clothes off. tell us what's going on here. how is this benefiting? >> well, the clothes are going to the needy. it's benefiting the salvation army. the whole idea is to come in the clothes that you're going to donate, take them off, put them in the box and then in your underwear you get to run. >> i don't know why this hasn't been embraced by the red cross, but i'm sure some day. >> they've been doing this for the last couple of years.

they're hoping to beat last year's record which was 560 pounds of clothes. 560 pounds. that's a lot. a cotton t-shirt doesn't weigh a whole heck of a lot. >> this is where again? obviously some place warm. >> university of washington. not terribly warm. >> young students. they're doing a very good thing. >> it's not just there. they're competing against nine other colleges around the country. >> really, so it's a growing tradition. >> it's a growing trend. we'll have to start that here next year. georgia tech. >> okay. now we want to talk about friends. friends are always important to all of us. now they're even more so for our size. >> right. who you hang out with could have an impact on your size. believe it or not. this is an official study at harvard university. researchers have studied and have found that you have a 57% chance of getting bigger if your friends are bigger. >> this did not surprise me when i heard this. because if you spend a lot of time with friends, they'll say, hey, let's have some ice cream. let's go out. you tend to copy whatever your

friends may be doing. that's part of what friendship's about. >> absolutely. and i would imagine your spouse's behavior and activities also would greatly influence your size and eating habits. >> i wonder which one is greater when it comes to the influence. >> i don't know. obviously you have skinny friends and a skinny wife. >> yes, yes i do. i think skinny. finally, let's talk about mo mocki mockingbirds. i love the mockingbirds. >> are you a fan of their song? they can be very loud. >> apparently down in some parts of florida they're not appreciate zb appreciated. >> take a listen. that's not terrible. that sounds pretty good, right? apparently people in south florida aren't real happy about it. because they're terribly loud. they're in their mating season right now. people are going crazy because apparently they can't get any sleep because the mockingbirds are singing their songs. >> i will say when i'm in florida, that says to me i'm there. i hear that bird and i go, aw, i

already feel on vacation. >> a lot of people at home right now who live in south florida are throwing eggs at their tv at you because they haven't slept in two weeks. >> one person's pain. >> an alarm clock built in outside your window. >> thanks, jacqui. appreciate it.

one of president obama's top economic advisers says people shouldn't read too much into last week's less than stellar job numbers. the economy gained 54,000 jobs and a big drop from a year ago when 458,000 jobs were created. austin guan goolsbee says the

important thing is over the past six months 1 million jobs have been added to the economy. >> there is a plan. it has been working. we have been adding jobs significantly over the course of this year. we faced a stiff head wind, and this was a -- this was a tough month. but i don't think that we should abandon the idea that what we need to do now is get the private sector stood up. >> goolsbee says corporations should now use the money sitting on their balance sheets to help strengthen the fragile economy. is innovation the seed that should get the economy moving? fareed zakaria thinks so. he'll host a special tonight. among other things he will look at the defense advanced research projects agency, darpa. a pentagon agency better known as darpa. here's a preview. >> the high stakes of providing sound secnology for soldiers in combat motivates the darpa team to create the best technology in the world. >> they simply must work in all

number of austere situations, life and death, and that kind of urgency, it focuses the mind and inspires greater genius. >> most famously, darpa funded the first version of the internet. in 1969 computer hubs called nodes were able to send messages to each other over a phone line. >> that original investment was about $150 million. and that gave birth to the internet now, about $300 billion later. >> these days darpa is working on a slew of exciting innovations including big dog, a ground breaking project in robotics. the idea is to create a robot with animallike capacities and strength that can go with soldiers on combat missions in rough terrain. >> when you watch the big dog video, what you'll see is that it really looks like a dog moving. and it has all sorts of other attributes that make it resilient in different environments.

>> that is just part of tonight's fareed zakaria's gps special.

japan. germany has announced plans to close all of its nuclear power planlts by the year 2020. cnn's frederick plik ten. >> reporter: germany has conducted stress tests for 17 reactors. angela merkel reacted. we want to make sure our power supply is safe, merkel said. germany will shout down eight reactors immediately. the remaining nine will be shut down by the year 2022 the government says. that will mark the end of nuclear energy in europe's largest economy. the opposition green party which has long advocated getting rid of nuclear power says the

results of the german stress test were appalling. >> translator: only two nuclear plants could deal with an earthquake and subsequent flood, the head of the green party said. for two others the damage and resulting problems might remain confined to just the plant itself. >> reporter: the german public has long been hostile toward nuclear power, but some power companies say it's essential for energy security in europe's largest economy. one provider says it will sue the german government over its plan to exit atomic energy. experts say getting rid of nuclear energy in germany is possible, but will require massive investments in renewables as well as more coal and gas fired power plants. >> we need some kind of reserve capacity when the wind is not blowing, when the sun is not shines. there we need to call for fire power plants but also gas fire power plants. this will of course bring up the emissions to a very large extent. >> reporter: germany has made a

decision. now it's looking for a strategy to maintain economic growth while giving up a source of energy that until recently supplied the country with about a fifth of its energy. cnn, berlin. underemployed or unemployed? we have some tips to help you find a new job right after the break. ordinary rubs don't always work on my arthritis. try capzasin-hp. it penetrates deep to block pain signals for hours of relief. capzasin-hp. take the pain out of arthritis. thank you for that, and here's what's going to happen tomorrow! well, it's going to start with me wearing a different shirt. it doesn't matter what the weatherman says if you have a symmetrical all-wheel drive subaru

with the economy still struggling, some people have been out of work for months. some actually for years. so what can experienced workers do to buy the job? earlier i talked with paula caliguiri, the author of "get a life, not a job." she has four strategies starting with job retraining and education. >> before you spend any money investing in tuition dollars, be sure you understand the placement rate for the program that you're about to invest your time and your money in. so even though you might be in your 40s or 50s, not too late to reinvest in time and talent. the other thing you can do is think about configuring your skills for hot jobs. ownthatcenter.org is a wonderful website from the department of labor. great opportunity to look for jobs that really match with your skills and ones that are really

hot right now. >> you mentioned targeting your educational investment. by that i presume you mean make sure you find the hot job before you actually invest your time in learning about the job? >> absolutely. so right now, martin, the s.t.e.m. skills are always so hot right now, right? so science, technology, engineering, math. the class of 2011, interesting, class of 2011, if they went to reputable schools, those who graduated with the s.t.e.m. fields, they were able to land multiple job offers, and their starting salaries were between $55,000 and almost $70,000. so these are 20, 21, 22-year-olds. not a lot of experience, but they had great skills. so s.t.e.m. skills, real important. also the skilled trades. so carpenters, engineering, plumbers. those are also in very, very high demand. health care also very important. but also if you think about education, again, science

teachers, math teachers, real important. bilingual education. also those who can teach special needs children. all of those are real hot and will be hot for a while. >> you talk about, say, take a temporary job or maybe even a volunteer job? the reason being, of course, that, what, you get your foot in the door? >> you get your foot in the door, and i know this is really tough to hear at a time when people feel like they're underemployed, those who are working part time or working in temp positions. but it's a nice way to get your foot in the door and to network within the organization in case something should become available. what we found, again, class of 2011, those who had internships, so those who were on those temporary interning positions, 67% of them were offered full-time jobs. so a temporary opportunity turned into a full-time one for those interns. so real good strategy to break in. >> and as my mom always tells me, it's not who you know, it's who knows you. this goes back to what you just

said. networking. networking very important for people to get out there, meet, greet and talk to folks who may have a job. >> right. networking always critical. so networking online, networking in person, and also, too, thinking about networking if you do end up engaging in an educational opportunity, network with your professors. network with the trainers. network with fellow students. network with guest speakers. network with alums. lots of people are interested in connecting with you. oftentimes students and those in training programs don't actually leverage that part of their investment. real important to network. >> tomorrow will mark 67 years since the d day invasion. coming up, a talk with two survivors of that momentous day in history. thought they were dead.

on d-day, the 6th of june, 1944. thousands of allied troops poured out on the beaches of normandy. they aimed to bring an end to nazi germany. tomorrow marks the 67th anniversary of the invasion. cnn's t.j. holmes had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with two men who

answered the call of duty on that fateful day. >> reporter: on the anniversary days, a lot of people, the government makes a big deal out of it. the media will talk about june 6th, anniversary. what about you guys? what do you all do on the anniversary every year of d-day. >> quite often i'm asked to make talks to various groups. i'll participate in some of the ceremonies because i was a world war ii veteran there. and we're dying off pretty fast these days and there aren't many of us left. >> reporter: do you like being a part of that kind of stuff? >> i have like today's generation does not know much about the history of world war ii. i was introduced by an atlanta schoolteacher as a fighter pilot from world war ieleven.

>> reporter: what about you? >> d-day is my birthday and i celebrate that with my children. >> reporter: how old were you on d-day? you turned what age? >> 25. >> reporter: that was a hell of a way to spend it. >> i was flying over the channel, 1:00 in the morning. it was about 12:30. >> reporter: both of y'all since i have been talking to you have reeled off stuff that happened many, many years ago now. but you can tell me exact dates and you're even giving me exact times now. does that stuff just never go away. >> we took off at 2:30 in the morning. completely blackout takeoff. and one of our pilots crashed into the tower on takeoff because we had no lights whatsoever. and so that's -- you remember things like that. >> reporter: what was on your mind, and maybe it was fear, maybe it was pride, maybe it was that sense of duty. were things happening every minute that kind of put you in a

different mindframe? >> actually, it was a break for the rest of us. we took off by the fire light of his burning aircraft. the adrenaline was running so good at that particular time i don't think we had any fear. we were just anticipating what we were getting into. i don't think you had time to fear at that point. >> reporter: would you agree with that assessment? >> when you go out on an invasion, you're scared to death. you don't know what the hell's going to happen. and you're not worrying too much about that. you're worrying about flying the equipment and doing the job you're supposed to do. >> that's right. >> the rest of it comes naturally. >> reporter: how did your day start? do you remember the time as well? >> took off at 12:00 at night. and we landed around 1:00 25 miles back of the front. so we had an easy deal. that was the easiest mission i flew. because we didn't have -- we had the element of surprise with us.

we didn't have many people shooting at us. but the problem we had, of course, we went in with the paratroopers as you know. but the paratroopers that went in before us were oscillating. they had that old parachute. and they would hit these poles and break their backs and their arms and their legs. it was awful. so we had it easy. >> reporter: still amazing to hear you say you had it easy. did you know you were making history, i guess, i should say? did it feel like that at the time or you were just doing your duty. >> doing what i was supposed to do. >> that's right. >> they paid me. but when you sign those papers, you got to do what you're supposed to do. >> that's right. >> and you do the best job you can and you try to stay alive. because when you land it's either you or that guy. >> reporter: stay alive. how close did you come to not making it back? >> i had several times. i could bore you to death

with -- everybody in the service has those times. but most of our action was in close. and we did what we were going to do and tried to stay alive in a matter of hours, minutes. because when you land, you're as close as me to you to the enemy. >> reporter: why did you want military service anyway? >> to fight for my country, naturally. and also it's exciting. you get to fly airplanes. you get to do a lot of things that you can't do at home. >> reporter: now, he just said he wanted to fight for his country. do you think over the years from when you guys were young men to today, do you think that sentiment still exists in the soldiers who are going into the military now? >> although they called us the greatest generation, i think these guys today are another great generation. they're doing -- they're involved in war that we wouldn't want to fight. at least we knew our enemy. they did not.

their enemy could walk up to them and drop a grenade and blow them away. but we -- we knew our enemy. we could see those big black crosses on the airplanes we were fighting against. that's a big difference. we still have a great generation out there today. >> i would be remiss if i didn't say my father was in d-day as well. we all owe a great debt to all those who were there. it is the latest innovation for your computer. it's called the cloud. the question is, do you need it? we'll weigh in on the pros and cons.

you have probably heard about outsourcing of jobs. have you heard of outsourcing your computer programs? the latest innovation is called cloud computing. >> on live is a gaming service with a difference. you're playing games on your computer but the game isn't actually running on your computer. it's running on a computer back at onlive's data center. your playing a game by remote. sending commands to a computer far away which streams video of the game back to you. that means you don't need a powerful computer to play the

latest games. just a screen and an internet connection. onlive is part of a popular movement in the technology industry. it's called cloud computing. sounds futuristic. but what is it? >> cloud computing is like outsourcing. it's very much like what manufacturers say here do with like producing goods and services. why should you have to store everything locally and process everything locally when with faster internet speeds you could rely on the far greater processing power or storage space available at some offline site. >> reporter: it is very likely you have been doing cloud computing without knowing it. flickr, hot mail has been hosting e-mail on the collude since 1996. by keeping all this information in one place, that means there are different devices, phones, laptops and computers have

access to the same information. you don't need to store any of it on any of the devices. you just grab what you need when you need it over the internet. but what happens when you're internet connection fails? >> well, one of the great vulnerabilities in the cloud computing is the fact that all of this for us is built on the assumption that internet speeds will remain fast and that connectivity will remain reliable. and as anybody whose ever walked around in san francisco or new york with an iphone knows, you can't always count on mobile data being fast or reliable. >> reporter: another worry about cloud computing is security. you are willingly handing over your information to somebody else and it can cost you. when amazon suffered a brief outage, it took down four square. a worry that is a shift to the cloud is coming. next week laptops running chrome

o.s. are set to go on sale. they are remarkable containing 16 gigabytes of storage space, about the same as an ipod nano that holds 4,000 songsle. why so little space? it lets your apps live on the company's servers. google is convinced that the computer masses are ready to live in the cloud. and cloud-based music services could be the new way to store our digital music collections. apple is expected to release the i it's cloud tomorrow. are we really ready to put our music in the cloud? that's what i asked chris taylor. >> the big question is are they going to be allowing us to upload all the music or give us access to all the itunes music in the cloud, or is it just music we have already bought on itunes.

so that's what we don't know yet. if it is the former, i think that will be a really formidable cloud service. the other room is that it will cost $25 a year. that part i'm not so sure about myself. i think that, again, itunes users are going to balling for paying for this stuff twice when they already have it on their ipods and iphones. >> since you are a skeptic regarding cloud for music, what about using cloud technology otherwise? >> oh, otherwise absolutely. i mean, there's a great service called dropbox i use to store just about everything that i want to send to other people. it is a very good transmission device. it is a very good way of backing up your data. and it is a very good way of keeping your documents safe for all time, really, as you move from computer to computer. >> i like that. don lemon takes over the next hour of "newsroom." what do you have? coming up, our special report on the casey anthony

trial. much of the country and the world has been riveted by the little girl dead. her own mother accused. i'll have one of the most provocative discussions here on cnn. a criminal from filing who actually worked on the case, an orlando reporter who has been in the courtroom and a prosecutor. also a media critic who says much of the interest in the case can be credited to us, the media. it is a case of the tail wagging the dog. one heated moment when i came and asked the psychologist if we could expect an insanity defense soon. listen to this. so is there the possibility, i have to ask, maybe you can weigh in as well, holly, of an insanity defense, is she insane? >> no. no. no. because her kind dub the kind of lying -- the definition of insanity is the inability to understand what she did was wrong. her lying is covering her butt because she clearly knew it was

wrong. it is highly manipulative. >> so you can see it does get heated. we are going to be covering that. you have been following it. that and the rest of the news, especially the fire happening in arizona. we'll be covering that as well over the next two hours. >> all right, don, good to see you. that will do it for me. have a great weekend. own le. but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now, i've got the leading part. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems.

hello, everyone. i'm don lemon. a huge wildfire is forcing thousands to flee for their lives. >> this fire as i pull out, you can see how large it is, it spans anywhere from 30 miles south and north. >> 30-miles plus. it is being called the third largest wildfire in arizona history. parts of the state are blanketed tonight with thick smoke as this gigantic wildfire burns out of control. huge tracks of bone-dry forest are erupting into towering flames. it's called a wallow fire near the town of springville in northeast arizona. it is just one of several large fires across that state. altogether they have torched, get this, a quarter million

acres. thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, sometimes with just moments notice. we want to get right now to the scene and jared dilling ham with our affiliate ktkvment jared, please taketous the scene now. >> reporter: one week ago you could see the winds picking uh. the wind have been driving this all week. in the one week it has grown to 180,000 acres, and that as you said made it the third largest wildfire in state history. we have had a number of them here in the desert southwest. now the reason you can't see flames behind us or even a big plume of smoke rising out of this fire is because this thick layer of dense smoke is just choking the entire region now. on a normal day right now you would be looking at the beautiful mountains outside this town, but certainly nothing today. as for damage done so far on the wildfire in eastern arizona, several cabins have burned. but for now the firefighters
