why would china be willing to let him go? >> reporter: well, the reason why china would be willing to let him go because they probably -- he has a lot of influence here, he would have more influence here if he stayed in china as a symbol of the human rights movement than he would if he were to leave, that is one of the reasons why a lot of people believe that the china is incentivized to let him leave the country. >> why his change of heart? he originally wanted to stay in china, but no longer. >> reporter: well, a lot of people have been saying that he had been very concerned about his own personal safety and also in fact we spoke to supporters who indeed have been under house arrest who have been detained, some of the supporters, regular citizens who want to show support for chen and visit him

at the hospital, were detained or taken away by police. there is a lot of issues that they are worried about, a lot of people concerned about his personal safety still as he is sitting in the hospital. randi? >> thank you very much for the update. so if you're shacking up in north carolina, you may soon be breaking the law. we'll take you in focus on amendment 1, a bill that not only forbids gay marriage but dissolves unions between unmarried straight couples. to return your car. just note your mileage and zap ! you're outta there ! we'll e-mail your receipt in a flash, too. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz. for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "well, maybe we ought to buy this hot dog cart and set it up someplace." so my parents went to bank of america. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property."

edwards, despite warnings, he recounted an angry conversation. he said edwards told him to back off he did not need a babysitter and he told him to go blank himself. bryan huffman a friend of rachel "bunny" mellon captivated the courtroom. he was the middle man for checks from mrs. mellon to andrew and sherry young. when asked what the 101-year-old mellon thinks about the case? she doesn't condemn affairs but you should pay for your girlfriend yourself. huffman said they didn't know what the money was for. we knew nothing about a girlfriend or baby, all she wanted to do was make a president. the last statement could have helped the prosecution persuade the jury edwards accepted illegal campaign money but happened after the jury was sent out of the room for an
