"cnn newsroom" with martin savage starts right now. >> larry, thanks so much. good to see you. it's 9:00 a.m. on the east coast, 6:00 a.m. on the west coast. this morning, dominique strauss-kahn is expected to plead not guilty to charges that he sexually assaulted a hotel maid. apple's ceo steve jobs returns to public view after being on medical leave.

jobs has battled through pancreatic cancer and a subsequent liver transplant. today, he'll help unveil apple's next generation of software. a fast-moving wildfire in northern arizona has chased more than 2,000 people from their homes. strong winds, dry weather, they have pushed the flames across more than 190,000 acres. right now outside of a new york courthouse, an eye-catch g ing protest and a headline-grabbing case. a group of protesters is catching attention to this week's arraignment of dominique strauss-kahn. he's accused of preying on someone relatively powerless, a hotel maid, who says he sexually assaulted her. cnn's deborah feyerick is there. deb, what's going on today? >> reporter: well, martin, we can tell you that dominique strauss-kahn is inside the courtroom. he arrived about an hour before that formal arraignment on attempted rape and sexual misconduct. he stepped from a black suv, and hopefully we've got those

pictures. he looked around and appeared almost startled upon hearing booing from a crowd of hotel employees who had gathered in support of the housekeeper who was allegedly assaulted. now, those hotel housekeepers then began to chant, "shame on you, shame on you." dozens of cameras lined the route into the courthouse, about 100 feet. he walked with his wife, arm in arm, with tv journalist, ann sinclair. she's the one who's bankrolling the $200,000 a month security detail he must have to remain out on pail. we're told he did go through the security detectors. of course, eahe's wearing that ankle bracelet, so that was part of the consideration when he entered the courthouse. his lawyers, they were not with him at the time. they're meeting him inside the courthouse. they've already fired the first salvo, accusing the nypd of misconduct, sayi ining they've leaking information, including

the forensic information on the housing of the housekeeper who has filed these charges against dominique strauss-kahn. he's expected to enter a plea of not guilty. his lawyers are suggesting that the evidence will not show conclusively that this was, in fact, a forced encounter. martin? >> deb, this is a huge case, of course, but it is pretty much a he said/she said. and i'm wondering, what happens if the made chooses not to testify? >> reporter: well, exactly. because so much of this case really relies on what she has said and what she has told investigators about what happened in that hotel room. if she decides not to testify, for example, they could still use the testimony from her deposition. they could still use things from other statements she has made. but it would be much more difficult. and of course, what the defense is counting on is that they're going to be able to cross-examine this witness. it's one thing for her to give a statement, it's a totally different story for her to face very skilled, very experienced

lawyers about what happened, how it happened, how did it play out. how did he, dominique strauss-kahn, force her, allegedly, to do something she didn't want to do. if she doesn't testify, it will be zaifrtidevastating to the di attorney's case. >> deborah feyerick, thanks. we go now to iraq, where a mortar attack has killed at least five u.s. service members. it is the deadliest such strikes since 2009. and maybe most chilling, it comes amid warnings that american forces are now facing a growing threat of attack. >> some iraqi security officials are telling us that the attack occurred on an american military base, in the east part of town, and that somewhere between three and six mortars or rockets were fired into the base. >> so far, the u.s. is giving few details of the attack, and as you heard next hour, jack

healy, right there on the phone, will be one of those who will join us again to give us the very latest information. this morning at the white house, president obama looks to the future of u.s. troops in afghanistan. on his last visit there, as defense secretary, robert gates says that the drawdown could begin next month. cnn's dan lothian is at the white house. and dan, what are the options that they are talking about, at a meeting that is taking place today? >> reporter: well, first of all, these are private discussions that happen monthly, but this one taking on a bit more significance, because it comes in the wake of the killing of osama bin laden. white house officials publicly have said that the killing of bin laden does not in any way change the strategy. in fact, spokesman jay carney here always points out that the president's policy and strategy remains on track. but the ongoing cost of this war, and also the killing of bolin is definitely leading to the debate, as to whether or not that process should be speeded up. and as you pointed out, secretary gates was in afghanistan over the weekend.

he talked about the progress that has been made there, and he cautioned that withdrawing too quickly could undermine some of the gains. >> nobody wants to give up the gains that have been won at such a hard cost, and nobody wants to give our allies the excuse to run for the exits. so i think that we'll -- i have confidence that we'll strike the right balance. >> reporter: and so who is on what side of this debate? we know that vice president biden earlier on had favored a smaller footprint in afghanistan and that secretary gates and secretary clinton had been behind this troop buildup there in afghanistan. it's unclear how opinions may have changed over the last few weeks. and also, what we have to factor into all of this is that the president recently reshuffled its national security team, so it's certain that that will also impact the strategy going forward, martin. >> dan, we also know, of course, that the majority of the public would like to see a draw downer, a faster drawdown, as would

members of the president's own party. so with an election coming up, do you think that that increases the pressure to perhaps make a dramatic drawdown? >> reporter: well, certainly, those who pay attention to these kinds of things from outside the white house say that everything always plays -- or politics always plays into everything. the white house will say that the president's moves, his decisions that he makes, whether domestically or internationally, focus on what he believes is the best possible thing for that policy. and it has nothing to do with the 2012 elections. but i think anytime you're so close to an election cycle, it's very difficult to peel out politics from decision making. >> agreed. all right. dan lothian at the white house. thanks very much. yemen's embattled president is in saudi arabia today, for treatment of wounds he suffered in last week's attack. a rocket struck a mosque inside the presidential compound. president ali abdullah saleh and several members of his government were inside that mosque for prayers.

celebrations erupted saturday when word leaked that the president was flown to saudi arabia. saleh has undergone two operations and will return to yemen after he recovers. and this morning, tensions are high in and around israeli. yesterday, israeli soldiers opened fire on protesters who tried to cross the fortified border between syria and the occupied goland heights. at least 24 people are reported dead. the united nations has now condemned the violence and much of the world is watching. max foster is in london with some of the international headlines. but first, max, explain to us briefly what with each side wants here. >> well, a war of words breaking out after these clashes. they did warn these protesters to stay away, they didn't heed, and there were shots fired as a result, and disputed figures on both sides about how many injured there were. we've got the israeli military accusing syria now of trying to

use these protests to create a diversion, in quote, from the bloodshed that's taking place inside syria. let's have a look at what those headlines are saying around the world. the international "herald tribune," their headline, "israelis fire on protesters," writing, "taking a cue from so-called arab spring movement, organizers in multiple countries and territories called for a coordinated action against israel and huge crowds of palestinians responded." "the guardian" newspaper here in the uk writing, "israel opens fire as protesters mark six-day war." in the article saying, "analysts in damascus say that while israeli may be culpable for opening fire, they view events on both days as deliberate antagonism of israel by the syrian regime." martin? >> and it's interesting to note, max, that syria itself, over the weekend, at least 38 people were

killed internally because of syrian actions there. you talk of 28 killed by israelis, but it does seem to show that the syrians are trying to hide what's going on in their own country. max, thanks very much. well, he lost his race in '06, but former pennsylvania republican rick santorum believes that he can do a lot better and he's announcing his 2012 bid for the white house this morning. cnn's jim acosta is following that story from washington. jim, i guess no surprise, since 2009, he had racked up a lot of miles. >> reporter: he is really banking this long-shot bid on winning iowa, and it's not a bad route to take, for rick santorum. he is very much tied in with social conservative community. i was out in iowa a few weeks ago and i was talking to some evangelical conservatives, and they were saying they were taking a hard look at rick santorum. he is expected to make his announcement in a couple of hours from now. in summerset, pennsylvania, as you mentioned, this is going to be a tough shot for rick

santorum. he's a former senator from pennsylvania. he lost his seat to bob casey, who is now the sitting senator in that seat from pennsylvania. and santorum lost big in that race. it was by double digit margins. so he's got to convince republicans that he can win nationally. and, you know, the fact that he is going after social conservatives is going to be a problem, mainly because of another person that we're still waiting to decide whether or not she's going to get into the race, sarah palin, the former alaska governor, is still undecided, she says, about whether or not she's going to get into the race. she said over the weekend on fox news sunday she's still somewhere in the middle on whether or not she's going to run for president. but new details are starting to emerge about this pro-palin biopic that a conservative filmmaker has put together and is going to release in iowa later this month. the movie shows palin as sort of a heroine of alaska politics, it does not delve into some of the

more controversial aspects of her tenure of governor of alaska, and there was a pretty scathing review of that movie in the "new york post" this morning, comparing it to the film that the main character in "the clockwork orange" had to watch with his eyelids popped open with toothpicks, although, only this reviewer said, no one came along with eyedrops to keep his eyes watered. a pretty scathing review of that biopic of sarah palin that's set to be released this month. and as we're heading towards our cnn debate coming up in new hampshire, we'll have cnn correspondents spanning across several battleground states between now and then talking to voters about the issues they care about. time and time again, the number one issue that comes up is the economy. >> that's what directly affects most of us. jim acosta, thanks very much. we'll have your next political update in one hour. and a reminder, for all the latest political news, go to our

website, cnnpolotics.com. the royal newlyweds have come out to support the queen and her horse. prince william and duchess kate dressed up for the derby. and steve jobs is leaving his medical leave, again. this time he's introducing the world to apple's new technology. just about four more hours until we know exactly what icloud is. a vacation on a budget with expedia. make it work. booking a flight by itself is an uh-oh.

here's a look at some news from across the country. rainy in the forecast in south dakota, and that's about the last thing that area needs right now. the missouri river is already bloated. more rain could send it out of its banks and into hundreds of homes. >> i was getting hot dogs and i just happened to turn around and i saw the side blowing in the wind. and i just -- i couldn't believe it. it was like something out of a movie. >> look at what a gust of wind on long island at a youth soccer tournament did. it picked up three inflatable bouncy houses with kids inside and tossed them around. 13 children were hurt, but the good news is none of them were hurt seriously. tents are popping up in madison, wisconsin. the tent city is called walkerville, in honor, or dishonor, of governor scott walker. his collective bargaining law inspired the protests. and plaxico burress, the nfl star who spent the last two years in prison on a weapons

charge is now a free man. he got into trouble back in 2008 when he took a gun into a new york nightclub and accidentally shot himself in the leg. he reportedly wants to play football again. if you are a die-hard apple fan, you only have to wait about four more hours to learn what icloud is all about. steve jobs will deliver the news. and that's noteworthy unto itself. the apple ceo has been on indefinite medical leave for months. cnn's dan simon's in san francisco. and dan, this is jobs' second public appearance this year, right? >> reporter: that's exactly right, martin. and just mention that steve jobs is showing up, and you'll get hundreds of people waiting in line. i'll step out of frame for a moment, and you can see these people in front of the moscone center. the first guy in line showed up at 1:00 in the afternoon yesterday to get a good seat for steve jobs' keynote. let's talk a little bit about what icloud is. if what the analysts are saying is true, it will fundamentally

change the way we listen to music and possibly watch videos. as you mentioned, steve jobs is going to be doing this presentation and it's noteworthy, because as you said, he's been on indefinite medical leave, he had that liver transplant in 2009. people are going to be watching closely and gauge how he looks. but in terms of icloud, the way it's going to work, according to the analysts, you'll be able to access all of your content on itunes without having to manually sync them to all your different devices. if you're like most people, you have a computer, may have an iphone, and now you have to manually take out a content and sync all of your content from your computer or to your iphone or ipad. what icloud will do, if the rumors are true, you'll be able to get all that content without doing the manual syncing, it will just come down from the cloud, if you will. >> admittedly, that is good, but how is this software or icloud different from what competitors

are already offering? >> reporter: it's a good question, because google and amazon both released competing products about a month ago. and the way those products work in terms of getting your music, is you have to manually upload all of your music to the cloud. and with the itunes content or with the icloud concept that's going to be released today, you won't have to do that. in essence, the cloud, or icloud, will mirror exactly what is in your itunes library, so it's an extra step. it's believed that apple secured deals with the major music record labels to get this going, and that's something that is also, we believe, is going to be announced today. >> all right, dan simon. we'll look forward to hearing more. thanks very much. coming up, it made wedding watchers sigh and dress designers scramble. now the royal wedding gown is going on public display. where and why, next. mine was earned over the south pacific in 1943.

prince william and duchess kate, they head to the races, but pick a loser. max foster is here with the royal roundup. max, tell us about the derby over the weekend. >> let's take you to the epson races, a race that's very popular among the royal family, and they all turned out in force on sunday, because the queen had a horse running, came in third, disappointingly for her. but everyone focused on the

duchess of cambridge, what she was wearing, and the fashion press, not particularly kind. liz jones writing in "the daily mail" today, "what was this, a nighty? she really needed an injection of color." a bit of a disappointment, because after the royal wedding, where she got her fashion just right, everyone talking about the dress, hoping she'd be a great white hope of british fashion, but the dress is going on display for everyone to enjoy at buckingham palace, beginning in the summer opening from mid-july, along with a wedding cake. there were three and they only managed to eat two. that will be available for people to see as well. >> i'll look forward to that. i'll make a reservation. are they giving out samples or the wedding cake, or is that just to look at? >> i don't know. everyone's still very surprised it's still available. we also had news today on where they'll be living.

and actually, the duke and duchess will be living at kensington palace, which is where prince william grew up in princess diana's apartment. but it's not going to be the very same one, and a very temporary arrangement, but that will be their new home. >> cozy. very, very cozy looking place and very, very beautiful. thanks very much. we appreciate the update, and thanks for reading those fashion pages for us. i know it must be torture. >> anything for you. college is a waste of time, that according to our guest. we'll make his case, coming up. also ahead, tracking a silent killer in the food supply. today, test results could pinpoint the source of that mysterious new strain of e. coli. we'll have that and the latest on this story after the break.

well, today there could be a breakthrough in the deadliest ever outbreak of e. coli. test results are expected to determine if bean sprouts are the source of that mysterious strain that has killed 22 people. over 2,000 people have gotten sick, including several here in the u.s. frederik pleitgen is in the state where the sprouts are

grown. what do they know so far about the source of the e. coli? >> reporter: well, what they're doing right now, martin, is they are testing several samples of sprouts that were grown here. of course, the german authorities are saying that they believe this could be the possible source of the e. coli o outbreak. however, they just got back the first test results, and they say of the first samples they have taken, the first 23 have come back negative for e. coli. they also mean, it doesn't mean this is not the source for the e. coli outbreak. they think because a lot of these sprouts that could possibly be involved in this e. coli outbreak were bred about four weeks ago, that possibly all the traces would be gone, because most of the sprouts would be sold off to things like cafeterias and restaurants. so the results here are negative, but the german authorities say they've traced back the food trail to where people got sick to this part of northern germany. >> and didn't the germans already come out and blame cucumbers originally?

>> reporter: well, yeah, absolutely. i mean, what they say in the beginning is they thought cucumbers from spraain were the possible culprits. so there is a warning in place, not to eat things like cucumb cucumbers. now they're saying don't eat sprouts. they have not taken back any of the other warnings, simply because they don't know what the exact cause of the outbreak is. the good news is for the consumers in america, america doesn't export any of these foods from germany, but there have been some people who have gotten sick in america, but so far, those are people who visited the northern region of germany before coming back to the u.s. this health scare here in germany persists, it still goes on, but the german authorities think they might be a step closer to finding the source of this outbreak, and therefore, also, potentially cutting it off, martin? >> which is why we'll stay in touch. frederik pleitgen, thanks very much for the update. the former head of the international monetary fund has pleaded not guilty in a new york

courtroom. dominique strauss-kahn is charged with sexually assaulting a hotel maid. cnn's deborah feyerick is outside the courthouse. what do we know, deborah? >> reporter: they certainly wasted no time. the arraignment actually taking place about ten minutes earlier than expected. not really a big deal, but clearly the judge understanding the importance and the high level of interest. we kind of want to show you the scene outside of the courthouse. all of those cameras there. and it was interesting, because when dominique strauss-kahn walked out of his suv to enter the courthouse, he was almost surprised by the line of cameras that were waiting for him. he was equally startled when a number of hotel employees who had gathered began to boo him, and then chant, "shame on you, shame on you." he entered the courthouse, went through the security detector. by 9:17 he was in the court, five minutes later, it was over. so we're waiting for him to leave the courthouse. he is with his wife, ann sinclair.

we're also told a daughter was in the courtroom as well. they are expected to leave any moment now, and then return to the luxury town house that's really just a matter of blocks from here. so all in all, a very quick morning. but certainly a lot of international interest because of the fact many people thought he would become the next president of france, martin? >> do we know what comes next in this saga and when? >> reporter: they're going to set a number of key dates. the defense team is asking for proper discovery. they had initially asked for it from prosecutors saying, look, it's, leaked out there, we're certainly entitled to have it. prosecutors say, wow, file the right papers and we'll get it to you. so now we begin some of the arduous process of getting all the documents, and of course, dominique strauss-kahn has hired a very high -powered league tea, they've got investigators, as is the case in these kind of incidents involving men of his stature, there's going to be a

lot of due diligence when it comes to finding out exactly who this woman is and what is her background, martin. >> deb feyerick, thanks for the update. >> checking more of our top stories now. a mortar attack in iraq has killed at least five u.s. service members. it happened at a forward operating base that is known as loyalty in baghdad. iraqi officials say that the americans were asleep in their trailers. >> the attack was one of several explosions across iraq. saudi state-run television, meanwhile, says that yemen's embattled president, saleh, has had two operations and will return to his country after he recovers. saleh was wounded last week when a rocket hit a mosque inside the presidential compound. two leaders in yemen have expressed cautious support for his vice president. the miami heat dousing water on the dallas mavericks and dirk nowitzki. the heat behind another standout

performance beat the mavs last night in game three of the nba championship series. and that is despite nowitzki taking the mavs on his shoulders and scoring the last 12 dallas points. the big guy went for 34 points, but failed to hit his last shot when the heat was all over him. more sports in about 20 minutes, including a look at one racing fan's great leap of faith. that's still to come. she grew up in a wheelchair, and has never walked, but a high school student in michigan took her first steps to get her diploma. that story is just ahead. and also ahead, the job market could soon suffer with another major blow. a new study says that state and local governments are preparing to slash jobs as early as next month. we'll go to the new york stock exchange for details next.

you can add another candidate to the growing list of republicans who are seeking the white house. rick santorum throws his proverbial hat in the ring today, and that makes seven so far. cnn chief political correspondent candy crowley has a look at the busy week ahead in politics. >> reporter: sarah palin capped off the first week of her "this is not a campaign tour" aboard of the "this is not a campaign bus" with a "this is not a campaign" appearance. >> what candidate palin would do is cut the federal budget. >> reporter: unclear whether palin's hide and seek tease tour will continue this week or not. somewhere in pennsylvania, rick santorum is hoping not. making his bid official sunday, santorum could use some oxygen

for his campaign. >> it's been great to be out on the hustings, been to new hampshire, i think it's my 15th time. >> reporter: who knew, not many, a recent research by pew research found fewer than half of republicans have ever heard of santorum. counting son toerm, there are 17 people known and not so much known running. tim pawlenty will outline his cure for what ails the economy this week in chicago, illinois, need we say more? >> president obama's policies have failed. >> reporter: in the cycle of presidential elections, this is big dream season. >> i am so delighted to see you involved in our revolution! >> reporter: in texas, congressman ron paul is on round three. he first ran for president as a libertarian 23 years ago, preaching lower taxes and less spending. >> mainstream is moving in the direction that i have been talking about for a long time, and therefore, nobody knows what the outcome will be in this election.

during the last campaign, i knew what was happening. you know, they mocked me for my foreign policy and they laughed at my monetary policy. no more. >> reporter: and finally, on capitol hill, where the campaign runs through it, this may be big miracle season. >> there is a bipartisan discussion going on that is civil and constructive, and that they've come to some areas where they can possibly reach agreement. but that nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to. >> reporter: what the white house democratic leader will not agree to is cuts in medicare, which sounds like square one. except nancy pelosi is not known for her sunny outlook on bipartisan deals, time is running out to raise the debt ceiling, and throughout capitol hill history, deadline pressure has always outperformed miracles. this could be the week, or not. candy crowley, cnn, washington. firefighters in arizona, they are battling one of the worst wildfires in that state's history. nearly 193,000 acres have burned, and it is still

uncontained. strong winds now fanning fire. our reynolds wolf is monitoring the fires and he's closely telling us what is going on. >> it's bad news. it really is, martin. at this time, we have red flag warnings all across much of the four corners, and we mention red flag warnings. what that means, we have very low humidity, and unfortunately, very strong winds. everything that you happen to see on the map which is indicated by the reds or the pinkish colors, that includes the four corners, but also parts of kansas, back into oklahoma, and even portions of texas, that's where there's the threat of fires. but the worst of it happens to be in oklahoma -- or rather, in parts of arizona. what they could use in arizona would be some heavy rainfall. the problem is, we've got a storm system that went right through part of california, bringing some heavy rainfall to the san joaquin valley. although we're not going to see rains in parts of the four corners what arizona will see will be strong winds, winds going from 30 to 40, perhaps gusts as high as 50, 55 miles per hour, and that will help fan the flames. something else that's very

unfortunate is the topography itself. just the opposite over portions of rizona. in fact, as you take a look at this, and we activate our google earth animation, we're going to zoom in and show you what the firefighters are dealing with. not only battling the blaze, but also a lot of ravines, high mountains. as we zoom in a bit more, you can see just how things are carved out. you've got, of course, a couple ravines here and there, and the winds that pan right through part of these mountain passes. the winds accelerates, and it causes that dry chaparral, that pine really to dry up quite a bit. so that's going to really act like a bellos, almost. same situation in something like this. that's the latest we've got for you. martin, let's pitch it back to you. >> all right, reynolds, thanks very much. you've heard of home schooling, what about unschooling. a teenage entrepreneur and college dropout has made the movement his mission. i'll ask him about it, next. thank you.

"the new york times" reported earlier this year that college debt is on track to top $1 trillion in 2011. and actually, outpace the amount of credit card debt that we have in this country. but the economics of the side of our college conundrum with the price of tuition increasing at about twice the rate of inflation is not the only problem. two sociologists at nyu found in a report that 36% of college students showed no increase in critical thinking, complex reasoning, or writing over four years of college. so the quality of undergraduate

learning is plummeting, at the same time that costs are skyrocketing. >> okay. so it cost too much and you learn too little. you have founded what is called "uncollege." tell us about the project and how it advances your message. >> uncollege is a social movement promoting self-directed motivation. i'm writing a book about the opportunity costs of going to college, to help individuals gain the skills requisite for success in the 21st century, irrespective of whether you have letters after your name. we're building a platform called rad matter to credential life-long learning experiences. the beauty of the internet is that we can dynamically represent what we've done, and tell about it instead of statically show it on our resume. and we've seen the rise of creative and professional social networks for jobs, but traditionally, nontraditional routes into the job force have been served for those create and i have technical professions.

and what we want to do is enable everybody to connect lifewide learning opportunities with jobs. >> let me just stop you there and ask. is the idea here you go into some sort of an apprenticeship, or right from high school into some sort of -- working at the law firm? what sort of training are you anticipating that people get before they enter the professional job market, beyond a high school degree? >> uncollege is about college education. there are many types of learning that happen, whether it's mentorship or group learning that happen outside the classroom. and ultimately, those teach different skill sets. and if we can go out and learn in different ways, with we come out as individuals who have a broader skill set, that are able to apply what we've learned to the world. >> dale stephens, thanks very much for joining us. i imagine, though, you're getting a lot of heat from a lot of colleges.

thank you. >> thank you, martin. taking a quick look now at some of the headlines that will be making news later today. president obama meets with his national security team in the situation room to talk about afghanistan and pakistan. in july, the military is scheduled to start withdrawing u.s. troops from afghanistan. former pennsylvania senator rick santorum will officially announce he is running for the gop presidential nomination. air france will inaugurate daily airbus 380 service between washington dulles and paris' charles de gaulle airports. and the airbus 380, by the way, if you didn't know, the the world's largest passenger jet with seating for 516 of your fellow passengers. we are following lots of developments in the next hour of "cnn newsroom." let's check in first, though, with deb feyerick. >> reporter: well, martin, with hundreds of cameras waiting outside the courtroom, it took just a matter of moments for dominique strauss-kahn to enter a plea of not guilty. martin?

before the head of the international monetary fund, pleaded guilty. dominique strauss-kahn's attorney spoke. let's listen in. >> he entered a plea of not guilty. that's an elkept powerful statement that he made that he denies these charges, and the own thing we will say is something we said, during the first appearance, it appear there was no forcible element. any suggestion to the contrary is simply not credible. >> the attorney repg the victim

came out and said his client will in fact be testifying when that court case begins. the miami heat has taken the lead in the nba finals. i'm a die hard cleveland cavaliers man. >> nothing hurts more. than seeing lebron there. two wins right after last night and last night proved even if you're hurt, this is the nba final as, you have to play and play well. game three in dallas. first quarter, watch chris bosh, from the miami heat. gets poked in the eye, by jason kidd. it hurt a whole lot. bosh was down for a while. these teams battle back and forth. under a minute left. who takes the clutch shot? not lebron, not dwyane wade, it was bosh. hits the game winner, miami takes the game and also was asked about the eye poke.

>> when you were raked in the face, what exactly did that feel like? >> open your eye like this, and i'll poke you in it. >> okay. he was joking. he was joking. miami leads the series two games to one. game four is tomorrow night. the king of clay still reigns, rafael nadal making his case to be the greatest clay court ever. winning the sixth tile. that ties him with bjorn borg for the most french open titles ever. albert pujols had a weekend. saturday, bottom of the 12th against the cubs, gone. a walk-off home run. cards win 5-4. again he comes up in extra inning, and he does it again. just ten other players ever, game winning home runs, and back-to-back games. in the last seven games, three-time national league mvp has five home runs.

maybe the most chilling, it comes in warning that they face a growing attack. a wildfire in arizona forced 200,000 people from their homes. strong winds and dry weather pushed across 90,000 acres. and minutes ago a not guilty plea in the case of a powerful banker accused of assaulting a hotel maid. mr. strauss-kahn, you have a right to be present at all of these proceedings, including the trial in this case, and you have an obligation to be present. if, for some reason you fail to appear, when the case son for trial and people are ready to proceed and in addition to any other consequences, such as having a bench warrant issued, facing possible bail jumping charge, you would also be forfeiting your right to be present in your own trial and participate in your own defense. i take you under that, sir? >> say yes.

>> yes. >> after his arraignment, strauss-kahn returned to the luxury townhouse where he is currently under house arrest. we'll begin this hour in baghdad, where u.s. forces have suffered their single deadliest attacks since 2009. this morning a mortar strike is part of a wave of deadly strikes across the country. for the latest. we go to michael schmidt, he joins us from baghdad. what do we know? >> we know earlier today, there was a rocket attack, three rockets fired from a kia pick-up struck, we know five americans have died and effort more wounded, including what could be at least a dozen u.s. soldiers. >> any idea who is behind this? >> reporter: no. we don't know who is behind it, and no one has claimed responsibility yet.

but the americans have said, over the past few month, that they expect violence to increase against them, as they prepare to withdraw by the end of the year. so this sort of fits that pattern. >> and this comes at a time, i believe, when the iraqi government is considering whether or not to allow americans to stay longer with the military presence? >> reporter: correct. the iraqi government is currently debating what they want the united states to do after the end of the year. and, on one side, you have the shiites, who don't want the united states to stay, but there are many other iraqis who do. >> all right. michael schmidt, thanks very much. that's the boots on the ground view to what is happening. let's go now to the pentagon and cnn's chris lawrence. chris, what does it mean about the threat against the troops in iraq? many americans sort of, i won't say have forgotten about those troops, but certainly on the back burner of their minds.

>> no, that's because violence dropped to such a low compared to where we were in it 2006, 2007, there are a lot more u.s. troops than 177,000 at one point. now we're down to maybe 46,000, 47,000 troops remaining in iraq. i think the thing that really hits hard about this, is the fact that it happened at 5:30 in the morning. it was on a base that the u.s. shares with iraqi, as many cases are in iraq now. some of those u.s. troops, we're told, were sleeping at the time when these rockets hit. so -- that's just a very hard thing to digest. big picture, when you look at it, it shows that violence is still possible in iraq. this was just one of many attacks that was carried out around the country today. it sort of resources outgoing defense secretary robert gates' view when he says he hopes that the iraqis at the end of the year, before the end of the year, asked the u.s. to keep some troops in country and

defense secretary gates say, i would hope that my, you know, you successor and the administration, would say yes to that request. >> chris lawrence at the pentagon. thanks very much. president obama is meeting with his national security team this hour, actually, talking about pakistan and afghanistan in the future of our troops there. cnn's dan lothian is at the white house. dan, osama bin laden is gone now. so i suppose the question is, how has that death affected what these guys have been the talk about today? >> well, look, right now, i think it's unclear as to whether or not that will indeed change the time line in terms of troop withdrawals, from afghanistan, but one thing it has done is really sort of revved up the debate on that issue, along with the fact that there's this ongoing high cost of the war. there are about 100,000 u.s. troops on the ground now in afghanistan, and that drawdown expected to begin next month. the white house, though, has not given any specifics as to how many troops will come out in

that first wave, but we heard from secretary gates who was in afghanistan over the weekend, and he cautioned about quick withdrawal, saying that he could undermind some of the gains that have been made in afghanistan. senator john mccain, and again, i guess referring to some of the outside pressure that we've been see, senator john mccain, the top republican on the armed services is committee said that he hopes that president obama will not withdraw more than 3,000 troops, in that first wave. one other thing i should point out, this is not just a meeting on afghanistan, but also pakistan, and there are a lot of concerns about the u.s. involvement there, in terms of providing financial assistance to a country that held osama bin laden, so, those issues will be discussed at the meeting here that is ongoing here at the white house today and we should be getting a readout sometime later.

mike. >> we'll look forward to getting more updates, appreciate it. >> all right. you can add another name for a list of republicans planning a run to the white house in 2012. not like it's been a big secret. former pennsylvania senator rick santorum made it official, on "good morning america" revealing he is in. he's got a long, long way to go. the cnn research poll shows him behind eight other possible republican contenders. still santorum says he's ready. we amuse we're in this race, in it to win and very excited about what the future holds. >> santorum plans to take part in the new hampshire republican presidential debate. that's monday, june 13th. and you can watch the back and forth among the candidates only on cnn. well, we're learning why john edwards didn't take a plea deal.

in his criminal case, the form are presidential candidate was indicted that he broke finance laws to hide an affair. talks between edwards' team and prosecutors broke down when prosecutors insisted he serve six months in prison. edwards being a single parent now wanted a deal that would let him be with his school-aged children. spanish cue comer aboucumbe blamed. then pointed the finger to bean sprouts. we heard tests from the sprout farm suspected of being the source came back clean. max foster has been following the story and coverage. max. >> it's all about sprout, today. martin. it's not the end of the story from the german farm as we understand it. it could have been the case that the bad batch had gone out in the system. it left the system and could be at the center of it. got another 20 tests to do. so wait to see what happens there. all of the debate is really

about where the source is. and there's a wider debate. let's have a look at the herald in scotland. health scares should give the west food for thought. of course it's important to identify the course of this outbreak. since e. coli can be avoided by simple precautions by consumers themselves, raying to introduce sterner regulation, we get clumsy and damaging response. suggesting the consumers should take responsibility. not just the government of the the reason why e. coli makes this apparent strain resistant to multiple classes of on tie biotics, among the issues urged by this. drug resistance should ring the largest warning bells. there is a concern this could happen again anded medicine isn't there to cover it. that's the big concern for the guardian. >> thanks. thanks very much. what are they, eclectic morning. e. coli. we appreciate all of it. thank you.

yemen is on the edge of civil war. the president, ali abdullah

saleh is recovering after an attack on his compound and the people of yemen couldn't be happier, celebrating, setting off fireworks as a cease-fire there is holding. but there is a lost anxiety in the united states where there are worries that al qaeda will rise up to fill the power banking. excuse me, mohammed john june is live in abu dhabi. when i first heard this. i thought it might be a break in the cycle of violence. now that may not be the case? >> that's right. in the past 24 hours, we heard there's a cease-fire negotiated between the triebsman latling it out. but this morning, there was disturbing new, spokensman for the drives main saying three fighters have been killed the sniper fire. they've come under fire from republican guard this that

country. the government denies this but it points out how tentative the cease-fire is and how much volatility there is in the streets. one other worrying factor in the past couple day, we heard from officials that action knowledged now al qaeda is among the list of suspects in the attack that happened on the palace. initially the government blamed the tribesman they were fighting. there is so much strife and chaos going on and adds to a volatile situation where at any moment it desends to all-out chaos. there's concern that that country could be on verge of all-out civil war. martin. >> of course that is a concern fort united states because of its ongoing terrorism pegueses there in conjunction with the government. what does this mean to what the u.s. goal is in that country? >> martin, there's so much person on the part of the u.s. in terps of what is going on in

a post-saleh world. in yemen, the protesters and tribesman don't want him to come back. the concern is, what's going to happen? the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula which is the most active and dangerous wing is based in yemen. even though they only have 700 to 100 fires by most analyst estimates, they are a emboldened group. they heard from what other al qaeda made in the middle east. they launched attack against the west, against the u.s. in the past few year, very sophisticated attacks that took a lot of planning. everyone is wondering if saleh is considered to be a key ally, if he's gone who will step up and fill those shoe, there's so much confusion that's adding to the concern on the part of the u.s. as to what happens in that country. mohammed jam

cornell said. my feeling is he could be the sleeper candidate. he's very well established with the base. he's got a lot of energy, he's young. he did well obviously in pennsylvania where he was elected statewide where that's tough for a conservative republican to do. he can surprise everybody. he'll do well in iowa where he has an org. >> just beat the buzzer, pete. >> rick santorum, i think will do well. he has mitt romney's face and sarah palin's world views. we'll see. unfortunately, i found out. rick santorum has a huge google problem. search rick santorum right now. look at that top hit. that will hold him back. we'll see what happens, hopefully he can overcome that. >> second question, speaker pager and president obama is going to be playing golf june 17th. what s that just a photo off? >> i think these are two guys that like to play golf and will

it started at 9:23. it was over by 9:27. dominique strauss-kahn denying the charges against hip. his lawyer saying he's going to defend the allegations vigorously. however, that drew some defiance from the housekeeper's lawyer, the one who is making the accusations against strauss-kahn. >> once the evidence is reviewed, it will be clear that there was no element of forcible compulsion in this case whatsoever. any suggestion to the contrary, is simply not credible. >> the victim wants you to know, that all of dominique strauss-kahn's power, money, and influence throughout the world, will not keep the truth about what he did to her in that hotel room from coming out. >> and that is the lawyer for the 32-year-old woman from guinea, from west africa. the lawyer said that she wants

to testify. she wants her voice to be heard and a hotel union said a number of worker, nearly 50 down, shouting chants of "shame on you, shame on you!" when strauss-kahn left his vehicle, he looked startled by the reaction of the boos and screaming against him. he walked arm in arm with his wife. famous tv journalist, ann sinclair, she's the one bank rolling the $200,000 a month cost for the private security. he had two private security guards with imh. he left court a little while ago. we expected him to return to the luxury townhouse which is not too far from here. however we're told he has not arrive. he's gone to meet with lawyers or other doctors appointment. religious service. that's the only reason he's allowed out aside from appearing at court. he expected him to be at all

court hearings. the next is july 18th. at that time, the lawyers will have had a chance to review all discovery material, they want scientific, forensic reports, they want to hear the testimony of the housekeeper, what she said, how she said it and the prosecutors will give them that information. martin. >> thanks very much. now let's check in with cnn's senior analyst, jeffery toobin, what do you make of this? >> martin, this is a routine early appearance in a criminal case, i think it underlines something to keep in mind about this case, which is how much we don't know about the evidence. this is the case, physical evidence will be very important. were there wound, injuries on either party? was there dna under either person's fingernails. are there photographs of injuries? is there any dna evidence? this is extremely important stuff in a sexual assault case, and that material is simply not public yet. so anyone who thinks they can

predict how this case is going to turn out is really not operating in reality, because the key allot of the key evidence is not available yet. >> so there is a lot that we still do not know, but i'm wondering, of the little we do, has anything surprised you? >> well, not really. i mean, obviously, the testimony of the alleged victim is going to be crucial here, and there have been suggestions that the defense will arrange somehow that she will not want to testify. if she would not want to testify, that would present the prosecution with probably insurmountable difficulties, if they still wanted to proceed with the case. so, as we heard from her lawyer today, she's very anxious to testify, but the trial is likely months away, and that's a very important fact to keep an eye on, whether the alleged victim, the maid in the hotel is still cooperating. >> and we heard from the

attorneys on both sides in this case today. i'm wondering who exactly were they speaking out to. potential jurors, eventually? >> i think potential jurors. the -- in high profile cases, it is a common belief among lawyers on both sides that the jury pool starts to get ideas, you saw benjamin graphman, the lead lawyer for the defense, say, in an unusually direct way, what the defense will be here. he didn't say there was no sexual contact between them. he did say there was no nonconsensual contact between them. so, apparently, they are at least starting to put forward a defense of consent on the part of the maid. that, frankly, is probably likely to be a tough sell with the manhattan jury. why would a hotel maid who had never met dominick strauss-kahn before, be swept away by his charm, by his passion and decide to have a sexual encounter with him and then complain about it. that's a tough argument to make. but it may be that the forensic

if itunes changes the way we listen to music. icloud will change itunes. it's part of apple's new software introduction until today. until steve jobs tell us us what it is. we can only speculate. it is believed icloud will take itunes and all of the stuff you have stored on it, off your computer and on to the internet. you c sync your applications to icloud. are people more interested in the technology or steve jobs making an appearance to talk about it? >> reporter: i think it's both, martin. you have the worldwide developers conference, you really got thousands of people from all over the world. people started lining up yesterday afternoon to see steve jobs, you can see behind me. people getting ready to go

inside here at the convention center in downtown san francisco. in terms of icloud apple, they are normally so secretive about their launches, in this case, they took the unusual step of pre announcing what steve jobs is going to be talking about. today it is expected he will unveil icloud. as you put it, this is a way that we believe you'll be ail to access the itunes content on any device, no matter what you are, through the internet. through the cloud. we believe that's what he's going to be talking about today. he's also expected to announce new software that powers max and iphones, ipod touch, and ipads. also a lot of interest as well. of course we'll pay close attention to how steve jobs looks. we last saw him in march. he's been on indefinite medical leave. we saw him in march when he unveiled the latest ipad. he looked very thin at that time. very frail. a lot of attention, of course, how steve jobs will perform on the stage this morning.

martin. >> club computing is not exactly brand-new. i'm wondering how is apple's version going to be different from what competitors have been doing? >> you know, it's interesting, apple got into cloud computing, back in 2007. it released a product called mobile me. it's considered a rare flop for apple. didn't work particularly well, but it enabled the wireless syncing of context, e-mail calendar, things of that nature. apple's competitors, google and amazon released a cloud service music service in the last few weeks. there's is a bit different in the sense if you want to stream your music on the device, you have to physically upload that media to amazon servers, to google servers and get it that way. it's believed what analysts saying with icloud that is happening by itself. in other words, the cloud sense

the content, and will mirror what is on the cloud and all a be able to stream it that way. that's where it will differ. >> dan simon as we wait to hear the announcement. thanks very much. spain's rafael nadal making a run at becoming the king of clay. nadal beat roger federer to win his sixth french open title. that ties him with bjorn borg, the name from the past. for the most french open titles ever. and he's only 25. so we could certainly see him in centre court for some time to come. and then in dallas, it was hot, and the heat was on top. 88-86. game three of the nba championship, dwyane wade was all over the court scoring 29 points, pulling down 11 rebounds. but it was chris bosh's last shot that clinches it. miami take ace two game to one lead. space shuttle "atlantis"

organization are to move out of lower earth orbit. the shuttle is a lower earth orbit. i don't think you'll see anything like this. the types of things we asked it to do. repair satellites. strict science migs and most importantly build and construct the space decision. it's really carried out a lot of different roles and paved the way, i think, for where we go in the future, that will be one of the largest legacies. >> one of the things it has paved the way for is women, if you can think about the legacy. >> the shuttle provided not just an toon for women to fly na space, science and engineer, astronauts as well. we really broadened the type of people we need. skill sets we need and we've been able to, because the shuttle flies so many people, we've been able to bring international partners in. and some of those relation ships

paved the way for what we're doing now on the international space station. the shuttle provided an opportunity for a wider range of people to be able to fly in space. i think that's probably, if you talk about legacy, that's one of the legacies we can look at. >> what's next for you and what is next for "atlantis"? >> for myself. post mission, i'm not really sure. i've had one duration mission, perhaps have another, something that we're worried about after the mission, actually since we're so focused on getting our jobs done here. atlantis will be remaining in florida at the space center down there. that's where it was assigned to go. also look to take atlantis back to florida and we're looking for that. >> good luck to you and the shuttle atlantis and crew. thanks very much. all right. taking a quick look at the
