infuriated opponents screamed mubarak should have been sentenced to death. mubarak supporters were also in the court and were angry mubarak was not acquitted. demonstrators outside the courtroom scuffled with riot police. their anger intensified after mubarak's two sons and six former aides acquitted of charges during the same court proceeding. cnn senior international correspondent ben wedeman is live at tahrir square where the crowd only seems to grow. ben, these demonstrations while very boisterous, a lot of people, considered peaceful? >> well, so far, yes, fairly peaceful. we see a steady flow of people coming into the square. earlier we did see them burn the poster of one of the two presidential candidates running in the runoff election in the middle of this coming month.
12:01 pm
he's considered a protege of hosni mubarak. so he's very much the brunt of the earning. many people were angry. there's a certain amount of satisfaction that hosni mubarak got life imprisonment, a sentence of life imprisonment. but the feeling is the senior officials of the interior ministry, hated interior ministry got off innocent, scott-free. the feeling was they were instrumental in the killing of hundreds of protesters during the revolution. by giving the interior minister and hosni mubarak a life sentence was not enough. they want to see justice done in the name of those hundreds of egyptians who died bringing down the regime of hosni mubarak. >> not long after he heard the court's order, he was immediately taken by helicopter to prison. but then apparently he refused
12:02 pm
to leave the aircraft. what more can you tell us about that moment? >> reporter: he had quote, unquote, a health crisis. when the helicopter arrived at the prison. keep in mind, until now he's been at a hospital, a luxury wing of that hospital, only today did he show up in the prison south of cairo. when he arrived he apparently refused, according to ministers, officials from the interior ministry, he refused to get out of the helicopter. it was only after intvention by some very senior military officials that he finally agreed to get out of the helicopter and go to his prison cell that had been specifically prepared for his arrival. fredricka. >> ben wedeman, thanks so much from cairo. we'll check back with you later

12:04 pm
a matter of about 15 minutes or so. when the opening bell sounds on wall street, everyone will be watching to see if the market recoverses] from friday's dive. the dow dived 270 points, the biggest one-day drop since september. that erased all the gains made in 2012. what caused the dive? investors did not react well to the government's may jobs report. only 69,000 jobs were created. the unemployment rate ticked back up, now at 8.2%. didn't take long for president obama and republican house speaker john boehner to use the latest numbers to blame each other's party forth decline. >> i would just hope the president and my colleagues in the senate would look at our plan to create american jobs. passed over 30 bills sitting in
12:05 pm
the united states senate. we can help the american people tat a time of great need if they would look at the bills before us. >> congress should pass a bill to help states prevent layoffs so we can put teachers, police officers, firefighters back on the job. congress should have passed a bill a long time ago to put thousands of construction workers back on the job rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our runways. >> the 69,000 new jobs fell far short of 150,000 economists had forecast. the queen's diamond jubilee will be set to amazing music. we'll bring you some of the sights and sounds. while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems...

great-grandmother queen victoria. kate ball -- there watching it all. that's whapg in the celebration. >> reporter: first of all, what everyone is talking about is the sunshine. people forecasting rain and more rain and rain. blue skies. this is tower bridge over my shoulder. this exact spot is where you'll see piers morgan where you'll see myself and piers in the morning. part of the diamond jubilee is the massive flotilla. imagine the potomac river in d.c. and you have these 1,000 boats, the first floating bellf bellfry. each time it tolls, it will be returned by church up and down the thames. this massive flotilla, seven and
12:10 pm
a half mile flotilla. of course the royal family will be on the barge. the middleton's have their own barge. and yes, we're excited about that. some bunting, red, white, and blue. >> i'm sure the people are very happy to see you're celebrating their culture there. tomorrow where you're going to have this parade on the river there, what else will be taking place over the course of the next few days? >> well, today there is a huge horse race. they call it the derby, spelled like derby, the oldest horse race in the world. i was asking someone what would you compare it to. i don't think the comparison is appropriate but the kentucky derby. the queen loves horse racing. in fact my producer said she's mad about it. she's at the horse race. the big celebration is tuesday,
12:11 pm
which she'll be covering live. that's when the queen and her husband will be coming down with all kinds of people waving flags in the final culmination. as we saw in the royal wedding, they will be standing in the balcony for the big wave. >> clearly great britain coming out in big numbers excited about celebrating the diamond jubilee. in general, what's the reception among americans, how interested they are about queen elizabeth? >> reporter: we've seen recent polling from americans. it's like 80% approved. i'm sure the president of the united states would like to see these kinds of numbers. you can see the numbers favorable, 82%. it's stunning. i want to point out another thing as i've been talking to brits in london. they really do walk around much more shy, stiff upper lip. but this is a true occasion. this is a party here, fred, in london and they are ready to
12:12 pm
celebrate. >> fantastic. we're ready to celebrate along with you. we'll be watching your coverage beginning 11:00 a.m. eastern time tomorrow, along with piers morgan. thank you, brooke, looking lovely in red at the bridge. you want to watch tomorrow the celebration of queen elizabeth diamond jubilee, coverage beginning right here on cnn. all right. it is known as the biggest breast cancer fighting group. today something was missing at the annual susan g. komen race for the cure.
12:13 pm
12:14 pm
the number of people taking part in the annual event is down. about 25,000 people showed up today. an impressive number but far lower than the 37,000 last year. the reduced numbers come after komen's decision in february to stop funding planned parenthood programs. the best cancer fighting group reversed the decision. many supporters worry about long-term impact. actress gabrielle union is the group's spokeswoman. >> the beautiful thing about both organizations, planned parenthood i'm also a spokesman for, i got involved through susan g. komen and their commitment getting women access to affordable health care. their goals are the same, helping women everywhere. hopefully as long as people get the facts, know the facts and stay on point and know they are committed to the same thing,
12:15 pm
saving lives and offering affordable preventive care for all women. >> komen races in other cities are also reporting drastic declines this year. all right. in a tough economy, anything that will help you fined work is a good thing, especially now that the unemployment rate is back up to 8.2%. in today's "smart is the new rich" christine romans says a job fair is a great place to start. >> job fairs slowed in may and jock seeksers are more than ever. >> tuck about yourself for more than a minute is nerve-racking, good to practice. >> reporter: their plan is simple, meet people an start a conversation. >> when it's competitive like this and a lot of job seekers out there, the best moves are the most basic one. >> no question they are coming

12:19 pm
florida confessed shooter george zimmerman could report back to jail today. he's been free on bail for weeks after he pleaded not guilty to murdering trayvon martin but the judge revoked his bond yesterday because he says zimmerman blatantly lied about how much money he had. >> can't sit back and obtain the benefits of a lower bond or circumstances based upon those material false hoods. that's what they were. at this time revoke his bond and place him on no bond status. >> bring in civil rights attorney and law proffer in cleveland and richard herman, new york defense attorney and law professor in las vegas. the judge said he misrepresented himself. he was not truthful about money.
12:20 pm
maernl they had a legal defense fund in the bank. he said the family wouldn't be able to afford it. this is much bigger than just this bond hearing, isn't it, that he is going back to jail. this could pave the way in the upcoming trial in what way in your view? >> well, in a number of ways. number one, he's got a hearing coming up on the so-called stand your ground defense. that's going to turn on his credibility with judge lester. judge lester already concluded at least yesterday that george zimmerman is a liar. the odd thing about it, though, these jailhouse conversations about the money going into the website through paypal, fredricka, that conversation is already known. it's audits being brought up now. what's equally if not more important is the fact that after the shooting, george zimmerman went out and got a second passport. what does that tell you? >> when the expired passport was
12:21 pm
turned in, the court said we want your passport, he turned in the expired one. then his attorney came out, as soon as last night, to say he had possession of the other passport. so it was more of an oversight. do you buy that? >> fred, is an oversight. everybody is making way too much out of this. we'll hear his version of why he didn't report the money. we'll hear whatever explanation there is for it. he will be out on bail. >> will his explanation matter? he has 48 hours, tomorrow afternoon zimmerman must turn himself in. if not today, by tomorrow. but it's a revoked bond. it is not on the condition of a better explanation. this judge is saying he's going to be back in jail. >> fred, there will be another bail hearing almost immediately. bail will be set. he'll be out on bail.
12:22 pm
what's more alarming to me is the obviously coached witness statements by the prosecutors. four people gave initial statements and then four of those statements miraculously changed weeks after they were given. to me that's the prosecution overreaching and coaching this whole thing with the bail is nothing, has no bearing on the case. he's going to get bail. he's going to get released. this is not stand your ground, it's self-defense. i believe there's enough on self-defense. >> martin's attorney said this will have an impact on the case. if he's going to lie leading into a bail hearing, then his word is -- this whole case is predicated on his word. it's his word against who else's word? because trayvon martin is not here to defend or give his account, detailed account of
12:23 pm
what took place. so avery, trayvon martin's family is saying if you lied about that, how do we know the course of events were exactly as zimmerman states. >> well, the reality of this case is when the case goes to trial. remember, he's facing a hosni mubarak outcome potentially, a life sentence. he is never going to take the stand. so whether or not judge lester assigns credibility or lack of credibility at a bond hearing i think will have very little impact when it gets down to the trial itself. let's talk about another case. this is very interesting. an indian woman who was adopted when she was just months old. now 30 years later she's facing deportation. her adoptive mother died when she was just eight years old. apparently the mother never carried through on the proper paperwork for the citizenship of this young girl. now she's facing deportation.
12:24 pm
richard, what kind of resource does she have? >> she's in a heap of trouble. i.c.e. they are in enforcement. she got herself a felony conviction. when you have a green card and no legal status in the united states and get a felony conviction you're going to get deported. >> she got in trouble with the law, perhaps the way would be paved differently. >> i think so. i don't think she would have come up on the radar and continued on her lifestyle. because of this they are seeking deportation. india has to provide her with a passport. they are not going to do that, it looks like because they want her to stay here or be able to stay here, since she's lived here the last 30 years. it's a tough case but she caused her own problem here really. >> avery, that felony was on forgery, how do you see it? >> well, i see it very
12:25 pm
differently. i think there are humanitarian considerations here that rest on the discretion of the department of homeland security. why? she has multiple sclerosis. it's essentially, at least as she puts it, a death sentence. even though it's a felony, a felony related to her drug addiction, she's overcome that. if the department of homeland security exercises discretion, then there is some chance here. but she recently lost in the second highest court in america, fredricka, and i don't think the supreme court is taking this case. >> all right. very good. we're going to see you again in 20 minutes. we've got some other cases to talk about, including a woman suing neiman marcus because she's been unable to return more than a million and a half dollars worth of merchandise. we can't wait to hear what you guys have to say. >> chump change. from the big screen to real life superheroes joining forces to help change lives. thousands of lives. what is that? it's you!

help them help others. wisconsin's recall election is just three days away. both parties are bringing out big names ahead of the vote.
12:31 pm
all right. checking today's top stories, protesters out in force in cairo protesting hosni mubarak will not be put to death for the death of protesters during last year's revolution. this was the scene inside the courtroom when the judge announced mubarak will get life in prison. mubarak's two sons and six former aides were acquitted of charges during the same court proceeding. the head of the arab league says audacious steps are needed
12:32 pm
to protect civilians in syria. the league met in. he urged radical changes. now to a heated political battle right here in the u.s. wisconsin voters head to the polls tuesday to decide whether to vote republican governor scott walker out of office and put a democrat in his place. the recall election is drawing big name politician toss that state. chris welch joins us live from raci racine, wisconsin. chris, who made this vote a priority this weekend? >> reporter: that's right, fred. as you alluded to, this has become a battle between surrogates. i met a racine tea party
12:33 pm
supporter, they have been a big supporter of scott walker being recalled. here we have rnc chairman priebus. yesterday we saw a heavy hitter on the other side. milwaukee mayor tom barrett running against governor walker. yesterday we saw former president bill clinton, really the heaviest of heavy hitters. but a lot of the folks on the republicanside side are using that to attack that president obama is not here. i caught up with lieutenant governor last night. she's also being recalled. here is what she said. >> what's more obvious is that the president himself, the current president is not in town. to to me speaks volume, his absence. i think what it says specifically is the president doesn't want to be associated with a losing campaign. tom barrett's campaign right now doesn't have a whole lot of
12:34 pm
facts to stand on. >> reporter: so you know, as you can see, this is really turning into the battle of surrogates as we alluded to. we did reach out to the obama election campaign. they would not give an official reaction to the lieutenant governor's comments. they did say president obama has put his support behind milwaukee's mayor running against governor walker. the dnc pledged money and campaign efforts. even though he's not here, they are putting time and effort in. >> what do the latest polls say about what could potentially happen come tuesday. >> most of the public polls have put governor scott walker with a slight single digit lead over his opponent. that said, on the other side, this really is going to be a dead heat. >> thanks so much, chris. i think we got your point. the signal breaking up a little bit. appreciate that. from racine, wisconsin. can your boss force you to be

12:37 pm
million dollars worth of gifts bought by her husband by his personal shopper. back with richard and avery. this is a whopper of a case. patricia walker in a traffic accident in 2007. her husband was getting her naum of gifts during her recovery. apparently he was buying these
12:38 pm
gifts from the personal shopper who very much knew the taste of the wife. but the wife says they were having an affair. that upsets her. she said, you know, i'm taking all this stuff back. many items she never wore, et cetera. neiman marcus is not taking the items back so now she's suing. does she have a case. >> first of all, that's quite a personal shopper. she really personalized this case. >> a million and a half dollars. >> not in those terms, fred. you know what i'm talking about, fred. anyway, $1.5 million in items purchased through the personal shopper there who got commission on everything. look, neiman marcus has a website. they put their return policy on it. it says if you're not fully satisfied with your products, we'll return them. apparently they are not living up to that promise. >> doesn't matter how many months or years passed? >> it's got to.
12:39 pm
three years ago was when everything was purchased. all this information came out during the course of the divorce. there's got to be some fine print, something. i think neiman tried to resolve it but apparently it was too much money, $1.5 million. they wouldn't do it. >> avery, usually there's 90 days or 60 days, two weeks most stores will extend that on their return policy. >> sure. >> if that term has expired and she wants to return these items to neiman marcus, how can she sue that they honor her request? >> well, i don't think she can. in fact, the lawsuit, fredricka, claims there's a breach of a fiduciary duty, meaning there's a trust relationship between neiman marcus and patricia walker who is the plaintiff. there's no trust relationship. there's fraud. there's none between neiman marcus and the recipient of the
12:40 pm
gift. to be honest with you, i can't begin to understand this case. they are claiming they should take the -- neiman marcus should take these gifts back. in fact, the personal shopper in here is named a defendant. so it's a very odd piece of litigation. i don't know where it's going. frankly, i don't think it will ever get to a jury, fredricka, because i think the judge has to dismiss this case. >> okay. we did reach out to neiman marcus and they had no comment on that case. we'll see where it goes and how it goes. let's talk about another case, this is interesting. kristen mcredman and alexandra litman who are suing their former employer, a sutton place restaurant and bar for what they call sexual harassment and discrimination. the women claim the managers at this restaurant forcibly weighed female employees and posted the results on the internet. so these women are saying, a,
12:41 pm
that's not right. we were harassed. then to make that information public. apparently the court has taken this case. they have agreed to take on this case, avery. how do you see it playing out? >> they didn't originally. tight a five judge appellate panel to reverse it. these are mere allegations now. we've dealt with cases like this before. what's especially interesting, what is it with people that own restaurants and bars, the men, that they feel like they have to weigh women. what's that about? the owner claims there was a weighing issue here but they were kidding about the whole thing. i like the case. again, you really think they are weighing the men? they did. there was a 400 pound guy there. why weigh the women. they are waitresses. this is something the jury will have to sort out. the jury will sort it out. >> how do they have a scale nearby. >> what's a scale doing there.
12:42 pm
>> that doesn't seem right. richard, they are talking about these women are trying to seek $15 million in this lawsuit. we did reach out to the restaurant, sutton place restaurant and bar. they did respond, their attorney joseph malin said this. at this point, all we have are allegations made by the plaintiffs. when it comes to trial, they will have to prove those allegations. what will it take to prove those allegations, richard? >> well, he's right number one. that's all these are are allegations. avery is right. the initial trial judge dismissed the case. they had to take appeal. i'm sure the restaurant felt good when it was dismissed. the appellate court said, no, it has merit. the grounds for dismissal, the weight, they came in late and violated certain rules. the appellate division commented on that saying they didn't
12:43 pm
believe any of that. so that is going to permeate through the case. this restaurant is in a little bit of hot water right now. i think it's best for the restaurant if they would sit down and make a deal here. they are not going to get $15 million but they could get hammered bay jury in this case. >> we'll talk about it again. gentlemen, good to see you. thanks so much. avery, richard, have a great weekend. >> are you going to the jubilee. >> i did not get that invitation. i'll be watching and you can watch, too. our live coverage begins township 9:00 and 11:00 tomorrow. appreciate it. both president obama and mitt romney are working hard for the latino vote. there's one issue above all others that's critical. ♪ and the neighbors' kids... what does being true to yourself have to do with being healthy?
