while the government blames criminals and terrorists. activists are pleading for help. >> fredricka, opposition activists we're speaking with in syria today are begging the international community for help for intervention because of what they're calling this massacre that happened yesterday. they say that first the town in homs prov nls was shelled by mortars from the syrian regime and then after that, the pro regime militias went into the town and started indiscriminaty slaughtering men, women, and children. entire families. the videos we have seen today, extremely gruesome. we can't authent kate the videos. they show children and women in sheets. you see horrible images. children with their heads bashed in. right now, the u.n. monitoring team that's in syria is in the town of hala. they're going there, checking out what happened because of the

reports of the massacre that's gone on now. >> all right, that was mohammed reporting on the violence in syria. egyptian voters may have to wait another month to learn who their next president will be. two candidates seem likely to face off in a runoff next month. mohammed moracy on the left is a member of the muslim brotherhood. the other served before as prime minister under hosni mubarak. it's not an easy choice for egyptians starved for democracy. jimmy carter is in cairo where he's leading a delegation of observers. he said it's no surprise not everyone is happy with the results. >> with 13 candidates in the race, obviously, a lot of disappointed people here, but now, both sides are beginning to call in the others, inyoung people and other groups to try to induce their support in the future. both of the potential candidates

are moved to the center and trying to consolidate support by asking the people who didn't support them in the past. >> overall, mr. carter said the landmark vote to choose egypt's first freely elected president was in his words, quote, encouraging. now to the vatican. the man highlighted in video you're about to see is one of few with close daily access to pope benedict. he's now under arrest, accused of leaking confidential vatican papers. the leaks information appears in a new book that's now italy's number one best seller. and back here in the u.s., a wild start to the memorial day weekend for some residents in kansas. here's what some storm chasers caught on camera. >> i'm still here. is it working?

>> at least five tornadoes ripped through parts of the state. the most significant damage was in the town of lacrosse and part of highway 193 near the town had to be closed. no serious injuries or fatalities were reported. from tornadoes to tatropical storm, letter g let's get to th bigger picture. there's a storm off the coast, and it's got a name. and jacqui jeras is all over it before it gets all over the east coast. >> the thing is about 200 miles plus offshore from charleston at the time, and all of the impacts but one from the storm are offshore. it looks like it's a beautiful day, but check out the tower cam we have out of jacksonville, florida. you can see it looks great. the skies are blue. people are on the beach, but i don't see anybody in the water. hopefully it stays that way because there's a threat of rip currents. it's a very high threat and beaches should be closed today because of that, even an olympic swimmer can't get out of one of

these things. have been at least 20 people rescued off the georgia coast because of it today, the threat really extends from barrel to the south carolina coast down through the northern florida coast at least. pay attention to those flags today. we're going to watch it get closer throughout the weekend. it's stalled out now, but it's going to pick up a little forward steam, not going to pick up anything in intensity, we don't think, so that's the good news. it's going to bring in wind impact started late tonight and into tomorrow, and this is going to stick with us through the holiday weekend. go ahead and plan on spending time at the pool if you want to get wet and cool off instead of getting into the ocean. we'll see heavy rain at times. this is mostly late sunday into monday across north florida. a good 3 to 6 inches of rainfall there. we're also watching rain and thunderstorms across the northeast, severe thunderstorm watch that includes new york city, so be aware of that throughout the rest of the holiday weekend. >> good warnings on that. thanks so much. a new jersey woman claims

>> when i was first told that i was, quote, too hot, end quote, and my breasts were too large, i was shocked. i thought that i was dressed appropriately every day for my job. >> and now she is suing her former bosses for discrimination. our legal guys are back with this one. avery freeman, cleveland. richard herman, las vegas. gentlemen, avery, you first, she's alleging they fired her because she's in her words, too hot, too sexy. they knew who she was. if it was about her, i guess, image, didn't they assess or think about that when they hired her? what might have changed? >> i don't know. because she was a tempworker. she was there for two days. what is very interesting, unless some employees at the lingerie company are going to back her up, i don't know how one proves

that. she claims they wanted her to tape her breasts down and minimize her mammaries and be less sexy or something like that. at the press conference, which was a bit tasteless. i don't know that the lawyer could have gotten closer to the plif than she did. an intriguing issue or whether or not she was picked on because of her gender and because of religion. she claimed that the bosses were orthodox people who they were very conservative, but it was a lingerie company. so i think it's -- it's pending at the eeoc. >> is that what you're saying? >> something, i don't know. >> so richard, she says, you know, it can't be about qualifications. she has a bachelors degree in business administration. what will she help to prove her case that she was diskrminated against because of her image,

her body? >> a day and a half she worked. a day and a half. this case is a bust, fred, come on. you know it is. >> what do you mean? >> she's got to get someone in vegas to fix her up. >> she's alleging they asked her to tape down her breasts. those are her words. >> how you get to sexual discremination and religious discrimination here is beyond me. the fact that gloria allwrong is in this case tells you -- >> are jow gotten that phone call from her? >> relax. it is ridiculous. this case is so stupid and to waste the court's time and anybody's time with this employee, at-will employee, no written agreement, no employment contract, no nothing. come on. she said my performance was great at work. a day and a half. come on. they had every right to fire her. they fired her. this case is going nowhere.

>> that's not true. >> what part do you disagree with? >> we're assuming facts. if some of the managers and employees back her up when the eeoc does an investigation, it's not in court. it's before the agency, there may be something there. look, i think it's unlikely, but you know what, give the young woman a chance. it sounds ridiculous, and yes, there was a tasteless press confrs, but it has nothing to do with the merits. >> we did reach out to the distributor, native intimates, and they have no comment on this lawsuit as yet. meantime, let's move on to another case that has an awful lot of people talking and thinking about what would i do if i were in their shoes. the iis involving a young cumin that was planning to walk down the aisle, steven silver stein and a young lady by the name kendra flatly had a lot of plans in place to get married. then she apparently broke off the engagement and now he's

suing her for something in the area of $50,000, richard, for deposits that were put down, flowers, the venue of the wedding, and for half of the rent. back rent, he says. so you know, this is rather unusual. we have heard of definitely a groom or a bride being jilted and being wounded and being upset, but now we're talking about a lawsuit? i'm suing you for breaking off the engagement? is this a legitimate suit? >> hell hath no fury, i guess. i don't know. she said i'm a cali girl. i'm not a new yorker. this is the second time around for this couple. on the verge of getting married. deposits for the photographer, videographer, hotel, come on. she stole $54,000 from their joint account and told him i'm done. >> that's what's he alleged. it was a joint account. are you stealing?

>> it's going to be easy to prove she took the money. she owes him a return of money. you can't take all that money out. based on the rent -- >> sure she can. >> both their names were on there where. >> doesn't matter. who put the money in? he probably put it all in there. he's looking for about $20,000 out of the account. >> interesting, okay. >> just because it's a joint account, you can't drain it. come on. >> okay. >> i don't agree with that. >> she did have the $32,000 ring he gave her and she returned it. her point of view is, wait a minute, i'm giving you everything you would expect in return for breaking off the engagement and now you're asking me for money. avery? >> that's right. >> and you know what, i don't want to call the plaintiff a sucker, but you're right. you said it. this is the second time around. he opened up a joint account for whatever reason after she broke up with him the first time.

i think that he's just angry. he's a young guy in new york city, and he's going to make her life miserable -- >> he has said this is not about revenge. he has on the record said this is not about revinj. >> that's what heed. yeah, right. >> and he's she's going to be able to pay the bill anyhow. >> you can catch our legal guys every saturday, noon eastern and foyer:00 eastern time and then at 10:00 tonight, alena chow in for don lemon will interview lauren oates who said she was fired, the words her employer used, too hot. >> colonel greg gatson, veteran of the iraq war and double amputee made his cinema debut in "batt "battleship." he's going to join us to talk about the movie and much more.

tomorrow, dr. sanjay gupta is profiling a pioneer in the face of space archaeology on the show the next list. she's using sat liej imagery to preserve ancient treasures. >> i tell my students on day one, a picture is worth 1,000 words. a satellite image is worth a million dollars. i'm a professor of archaeology. i'm a remote specialist and a space archaeology. imagery is powerful, evocative. satellite imagery much more so because it allows us to get this perspective that we don't have otherwise. when you add on top of that an

ability to see what we don't, you have an amazing tool. >> tune in tomorrow to watch the next list or set your dvr, 2:00 eastern time. an airline has planes... and people. and the planes can seem the same so, it comes down to the people. because, bad weather the price of oil those are every airlines reality. and solutions won't come from 500 tons of metal and a paint job. they'll come from people. delta people. who made us one of the biggest airlines in the world. and then decided that wasn't enough. with less chronic osteoarthritis pain. imagine living your life with less chronic low back pain. imagine you, with less pain.

gadson, director of the army wounded wars program speaks for a growing number of soldiers who want to see more service members in the movies. colonel gadson joining me now, live from charlotte. colonel, congrats to you. congrats on your role in the film. >> well, thank you, fredricka, for having me here. yes, it was quite an opportunity. >> and of course, we're so grateful to your service. how in the world did these two come together? your experience as a war vet and this opportunity to be in this movie that does showcase real-life war heroes? such as yourself. >> well, you know, peter berg is a new york fan, new york giants fan, from new york, and had been aware of my role with the giants. and then i happened to be part of a small article that the national geographic did in 2010

that was spotlighting and showing the advancement in prosthetics. and my photo was part of the article. and peter burg saw that and that's where he got the idea of casting me in the movie. >> when they reached out to you and said, we want you to be in the movie, were you reluctant or thought, i can do this? have you ever acted before? >> i haven't. i hadn't played a tree in a school play, and i actually half-heartedly said yes when he asked me. pat of me was, let's see where this goes. but really didn't believe i was going to ultimately end up acting. they would eventually find out i couldn't act and go in a different direction. >> clearly, you did a very good job. this is a blockbuster movie. if you're going to start, why not? start really big. this is what you did. do you think this is going to help open the door, maybe for

other vets, to be extended the same kind of opportunities, especially when you talk about movies that are conveying that veteran experience, that war experience? >> i hope so. you know, this is -- i'm certainly not the first war veteran to play in a movie. and so it's really unique, it's really nice that hollywood is taking an interest. and i tell you, pete berg has taken a special interest. he highlights the service of those who are fighting and currently serving as well as those who have served in the past. it's really neat how he's enrolled the service of real service members into the movie. >> the whole experience of playing in this movie, the experience of being onset, how has it enhanced, how did it really kind of touch or even turn around your life or even

your view of opportunities, especially after what you experienced in iraq? >> well, it's really reaffirmed my belief that you just have to continue to challenge yourself and push yourself. i mean, for instance, when i was working on set in lovely hawaii, we were walking some difficult terrain, and i hadn't really ever walked on anything like that, and here i was not only having to walk for the first time on some different terrain but also act, and you know, learn lines and all those things. it really didn't give me a chance to -- i don't want to say feel sorry for myself, i was just dedicated to trying to do the best job i could. it helped build my kfts even more. >> playing the character, mick, did you see any real parallels in this experience, his struggles with physical therapy

in the movie and your real-life experiences? >> yeah, i think that's where a part of me certainly existed in the character of mick in the movie. you know, there's probably some things that my family would tell you that i don't remember quite as -- you know, how time softens some of the harder memories, but i tell you, the emotional and mental recovery is just much tougher than the physical recovery. they really pale at times. so again, as a man, as a father, as a husband, having to put your life back together again, it's really not easy. >> we talked to a number of vets over the course of just the past week in particular, and many of them have different perspectives about what should be done, what should be made available to help them transition, especially after serving time, being in

war, and in transitioning back to quote/unquote normal life, back here at home. and everyone has a different idea about it, but most will say not enough is being extended to them. what's your view on that? >> well, i think, you know, honestly, we're doing our best. there's certainly room for improvement. i mean, it's not all the military can't do it all, the government can't do it all. our society can't do it all. the public and private, it's all got to be effort in unity. i don't want to put words in any veteran's mouth, but looking for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity to live their dreams and pursue their happiness after serving the country. and i think it's all of our responsibility as a nation. it's really in my opinion, it's strategic in nature. you know -- >> colonel greg gadson.

we're out of time. thank you so much for your time. congratulations on the movie, and of course, we're all very grateful of all that you have done for this country. thanks so much for your service. good to see you. >> thank you, fredrik a. >> that's going to do it for me. sanjay gupta md is next. and elena cho will be in for don lemon. - ♪ ai, ai, ai - ♪ bum-bum - ♪ bum-bum, bum-bum - ♪ [ ice rattles rhythmically ] ♪ bum-bum, bum-bum, bum-bum ♪ ♪ [ imitates guitar noise ] ♪ [ vocalizing up-tempo heavy metal song ] ♪ [ vocalizing continues ] ♪ [ all singing ] the redesigned, 8-passenger pilot. smarter thinking. from honda.

a lot of people are asking questions and today i'm going to try to answer the of the bigger ones. what you need to know about the flesh eating bacteria, and why one in two schools have air quality so bad it can make children sick. what to do about it? what is the filthiest spot with the most germs in your work place. first, let's take a look under the microscope. you know, we're looking at this controversial new position from the preventative services task force which said men should not be screened routinely with
