heavy rainfall is causing massive flooding in escambia county. a state of emergency has been declared and people living in low-lying areas are being urged to evacuate. i spoke earlier with the emergency manager don bosh about it. >> we're urging all residents that are low-lying or have flooding problems, when we have heavy rains, to consider going to higher ground. maybe with friends or family or elsewhere in the county. it's just trying to get people out of harm's way is the challenge right now. >> forecasters say pensacola could get another five to ten inches of rain tonight. the pastor of one of the country's largest churches was on the defensive today. >> i want to say this very emphatically. i should have never been arrested. >> creflo dollar heads the mega church church international. he said he did not beat his

teenage daughter. so, he met his congregation. he emphatically denies that the charges that anything happened. that he assaulted his 16-year-old. >> it doesn't seem to have affected any of the congregation at all. he spoke to thousands of people. >> full house. >> it was a full house. we heard sound from our affiliate right before i came up here, parishioners say they support him. he's what is called a prosperity minister, god rewards those with material wealth. his critics call him cash-flow dollar. >> did he give any detail, or did he give his account of things from the pulpit? was he that specific? >> he just said, well, we have some sound, if you want to listen to it. he said -- we'll take a look at this sound. >> yeah. >> the truth is, she was not choked, she was not punched.

there were not any scratches on her neck. but the only thing on her neck was a prior skin abrasion from eczema. anything else is an exaggeration, and sensationalism. >> the interesting part about this is the witness to the alleged incident was another 19-year-old daughter he has. he's a father of five. she gave two different statements to police. initially she gave a first statement that reflected a bit poor of the circumstances for creflo dollar. and she said her sister was being disrespectful and at fault for this. >> it's the 15-year-old that actually placed the 911 call. >> right. >> and said that the father choked her. >> right. that's what she was saying, he ran up to her and put his hands around her neck and took a shoe

and started hitting her with a shoe. all over a party creflo said she couldn't go because she had bad grades. and she didn't like that. what transpired is what he was arrested for. >> he was released on his own recognizance? >> yes, close to $5,000 bail and released later friday. but he did spend the night in jail. >> it's unclear whether there still will be more, i guess, distance traveled on these charges, whether it will be dropped or not. >> this is the tip of the iceberg. no formal charges just yet, but he was arrested and spent the night in jail. >> nick, thank you so much for bringing that to us. protesters are taking to the streets right now in mexico city. people are protesting about the upcoming presidential election there. we'll explain why.

for. one of them, of course, is the prosthesis themselves. they're made of plastic and metal and very, very cold weather, the carbon fiber, the plastic may crack. that puts a lot of pressure on our residual limb. exertionwise, people like steve martin here, a double amputee, they'll spend as much as 200% more energy climbing this mountain as a non-disabled person. so we actually have to be in better shape than the regular climbers, to try to meet this challenge. there's a lot of challenges, but we think we've prepared for it and we're ready to go. >> oh, my goodness. kirk, this is not a first for you guys doing this climb. you led a team back in 2010 on mount kilimanjaro in africa. how do you suppose this is going to compare? conditions very, very different. >> well, the kilimanjaro climb, with neil duncan and myself, it

was really a tough climb. this has been described as kilimanjaro is the pussycat, and denali is the tiger. we know with the ice and snow and crevasses, this is going to be a tougher challenge for us. the whole purpose, really, is to try to inspire and motivate the severely wounded coming back from afghanistan, give them a message of hope that no matter what has happened to them, injurywise, they will be able to come back and lead an active life through sports. i think we all feel that sports is really playing an important part in turning around our lives, and getting us back on the road to recovery. >> wow. neil, you can either get the credit or the blame for this, right? wasn't this your idea of taking on denali? why did this come about, and why? >> well, the whole seed was planted a couple years ago. i made an attempt at kilimanjaro, and we weren't successful. i came back frustrated with the

situation and realized it was all about planning. so planning for the injuries that are -- the guys that are on the team, planning for contingencies and so far and so forth. we parlayed that into kilimanjaro. kirk and i were talking about denali and realized, if it's planned correctly, if we have the right contingencies, anybody can tackle this. >> you're going to have to be 200 in better shape than anybody else given the prosthetics and equipment you're dealing with. but this challenge really does symbolize the challenges of other wounded warriors, their families, and others with disabilities as well, right? >> it is. after i was injured, getting back to -- trying to get back to what i considered a normal life, i think i set the bar too low. and when i met kirk and got involved with disabled sports usa, it helped me raise the bar

to try to go out and do things that were more challenging than -- or bigger challenges i was putting on myself, like doing the batton death march. to motivate and inspire people to get off the couch, to accept their injuries, accept what's happened and move on, move forward. and just not sit there and feel sad and upset. >> they are incredible, really inspiring. for more on this, and how to donate to their cause, visit my blog at cnn.com and follow the link to their website. right now, mexico city, people are protesting about the upcoming presidential elengths. we'll show you why. and immigration, both legal and illegal is the topic for a special program tonight on cnn. how can we make immigration really work for america. what can the united states learn from other nations.

in mexico, right now, thousands of students are qua therg to protest the country's last televised presidential debate, which happens tonight. the social media ground called im-132 say big media companies are trying to manipulate public opinion in favor of the candidate who is currently in the lead. miguel marquez is on the ground where the protests are going on right now. miguel, what exactly are these protesters so upset about? more so the media, or the candidate in the lead? >> reporter: well, they're certainly angry at the media. they said the media is part of

the bigger problem. the two parties ha that have been in the power for the last 20 years don't represent the people of mexico. the economy has been relatively good compared to the rest of the world, a lot of people are still struggling and they want more opportunity, more democracy for everyone. i'm joined by a young man, 22 years old, stefano, a firsttime voter. who will you vote for? >> i will vote for obrador. >> reporter: why do you feel he will bring more democracy to mexico? >> he is the only one that has shown the people that doing things right can work out. he lives here next to the city, in comparison with the other candidate, enrique pena. he's doing things wrong, like he did, not good for us. >> reporter: you think whether the economy or security or nay other things people are concerned about, he will do a better job? >> that's right. he's the only one that has shown us he can do it. >> reporter: thank you very

much. now, also, fred, the students here have called for a third debate to happen next week. so far, all the candidates accept the front-runner enrique pena nieto has agreed to do it. it looks like he probably won't show to that, but they'll put as much pressure on him all the way up to election day. the big protests that have been growing here, it's not just students anymore, it's brought in a lot of other mexicans. it appears there's a real movement now afoot to try to get lopez obrador, a populous candidate in the presidency. >> miguel, as these protesters converge, you know, given that this is kind of just hours ahead of that final televised debate, are they also trying to shut down the debate? are they trying to be that disruptive? >> reporter: well, they certainly won't do that here. the debates are in two different cities. they'll be protesting in guadalajara as well. but here in mexico, they want to

send a very clear signal to the two big television stations here that they will not stand for the sort of coverage, the giveaway coverage that nieto has had over the last year, and what they believe is giveaway coverage, and they want to see a harder line taken. they're tired of sort of the old way of doing things. and that's really what's at the heart of this. pri is seen as the old way, the corruption of the past, will be back in power, and they fear that. people come up and tell you the stories about how the pri beat them up, killed their wives, injured their children. over these years, these grievances go back 70 years, and they fear they're slipping back into that. >> miguel marquez, thank you so much from mexico city. keep us posted. a big boxing controversy, and the heat get hotter. the best sports stories of the week. and mike pesca has his take on

this. mike, let's start off with boxing. a sport not exactly immune to controversy. however, you know, manny's loss last night to bradley has a whole lot of folks talking, and fuming. and even pacquiao, is he not actually looking for a rematch? >> there are many words i would use to describe them. sorry. >> yeah, we need a microphone on you. so we can hear you clearly. i think someone's going to try to help you out there, mike. when we get that attached to you, maybe we'll continue our conversation. does he have that mike now? we're going to get that mike on mike in a moment. and then we'll get back to him. meantime, let's talk about opening statements that will begin tomorrow in the trial

a mike now has a mike. let's return to our selection of some of the best sports stories that we're going to talk about. mike with us now. let's talk about this boxing match last night involving manny pacquiao's loss to a guy named timothy bradley. and folks are fuming, including pacquiao. how did this happen? a split decision. >> yeah. to call it controversial is a little kind. this was egregious, or jaw-dropping or forehead slapping. this was the kind of decision, here's the only bad thing about manny fa qupacquiao in boxing t. he can't get the one fight where everyone tunes into. sometimes they last 12 rounds, but he destroys them. this is exactly the case last night. they go to the judges' decisions, they announce the score, 113-115. there's a gasp in the arena. now, at that point, i'm assuming everyone is thinking how could manny have only won on that one

judge's scorecard by that little. when they announce all the judges' score cards, it was shocking. the hbo announcer had him winning 10 of the 12 rounds. i did a survey of the "wall street journal" guy, the "usa today" guy, they had him winning easily. there was no doubt he had won this fight. except there were two out of three people who didn't have him winning. those were the judges at ringside. and it's another black eye. can boxing survive, does boxing have this many eyes? can all these eyes be black? it's a ridiculous development for the sport. people are crying about corruption. we don't have any proof of that. but it's just so incomprehensible. >> what is it about pacquiao having something in his contract which says he would demand a rematch? >> yeah. right. so even before the fight, bradley, tim bradley, who you aptly described as somebody named tim bradley, boxers usually go by the beast or

stunner, he's just some guy named tim bradley, trotd out a poster that mocked up the rematch. they said if bradley won, would they give him a rematch. there was no case this was going to happen. except it did happen. people are going over contracts and finances to try to get their head around some way of understanding how this decision could have occurred. >> oh, my goodness. let's talk about nba action. lebron and the heat beating the celtics. was this a victory of sheer talent over boston, you know, that was playing, driven by heart? what happened here? >> i would say that's a good analysis. i would say that boston tried really hard. their coach did really well. they're just a little well. heat, when all their players are healthy, they got chris bosh back at full strength last night. the heat were not going to lose to boston, especially in miami. it sets up, i think, a fabulous final between oklahoma city and miami. because you have in lebron

james, from miami, and in kevin durant from oklahoma city, the one and two vote-getters for the mvp. the last time we saw this kind of marquee matchup is maybe when michael jordan played carl malone. offensively, this is a scintillating and captivating final, where i don't think either defense will be able to stop the other team. so that's great. it's going to be a lot of haymakers and back-and-forth action. >> game one tuesday. thank you, mike pesca. >> i'm glad i was miked this time. >> me too. right now, out west, colorado firefighters are trying to get a handle on the high park wildfire. 14,000 acres have burned in the northern part of the state, forcing more evacuations. so far, more than a dozen structures have been lost or damaged. and three young men are dead. and three others wounded after a shooting near the campus of auburn university in alabama.

believe? the 68-year-old former defensive line coach from penn state or his accusers? who say sandusky sexually assaulted them when they were children. legal analysts say the defense will have to carefully show the accusers are not credible. >> one of the big challenges for the defense is to try to discredit the accusers without making the jury even more sympathetic to them. that's very hard to do. >> reporter: state law may end up playing into the defense's favor. pennsylvania is the only state that does not allow expert witness testimony in cases involving rape and sexual abuse. that means the prosecution will not be able to call expert witnesses to explain why, for example, some of the alleged victims waited long periods of time to report the abuse, or why some continued to have contact with sandusky. state representative parker helped introduce a bill to change the law. >> the jury, without their having an expert to testify about the normalcy of this type

of behavior, they don't have a proper context in which to develop their response. >> reporter: the prosecution's strategy appears clear, let each of the accusers testify. allow the jury to hear the common pain they allegedly suffered because of sandusky. so says the attorney who was privately representing the young man identified in court records as victim number five. >> we have a serial presentation of serial predatory acts, which occurred one after another, in similar fashion, in similar manner, with similar technique. that's what i believe the jury will be shown in this case. >> reporter: before the judge imposed a gag order, a sandusky attorney told cnn he will challenge the accusers' motivation saying it's all about money. >> we may never know what allegations were basically fabricated because people are looking for some money. >> reporter: even so, legal analysts say the defense has its work cut out for them. >> the sheer number of accusers

makes this an incredibly difficult case to defend. one person can be lying. two people can be lying. but can eight accusers really be lying? >> reporter: sandusky says they are. he continues to maintain his innocence. jason carroll, cnn, bell faunt, pennsylvania. a local official in california is free on bond this weekend after being charged with felony child abuse. video of anthony sanchez allegedly showing him repeatedly hitting his stepson zach with a belt during a game of catch in their backyard. a neighbor who shot the video alerted police. after they viewed the pictures, they charged sanchez with a felony. >> i'll say anthony had excessive spanking. he spanked him -- he spanked him too much. but anthony, again, is in a very difficult situation. he's trying to be a stepfather

for a child that has some behavioral issues, a child that i love dearly. like i said, that has blessed my life. and on top of that, and this is all documented, zach and my daughter, they're going to behavioral counseling in california. and, you know, the first thing, they tried time-out, they tried removing things. but in this church, this documented school, when the spanking discipline has worked, it's helped his behavior. >> and that was from nbc's "today" show earlier today. sanchez posted a $100,000 bond friday evening shortly after turning himself in to the imperial county jail. his son zach is now in alabama with his mother. a new documentary is coming out this week on the first president bush. >> we fell in love. old-fashioned falling in love. >> the former president opens up about love, and life, in the hbo

jerry weintraub said the film is told in the former president's own words. i asked weintraub if there was anything off-limits for bush while making this film. >> there were no areas that were off-limits. the fact of the matter is that if you look at the president's past, he's never bragged about anything in his dossier. he's been the most prepared -- he was the most prepared man that ever entered the presidency, because of all the jobs that he did leading up to it. he always was instilled by his mother and father with a sense of service. family is the most important thing to him. family and friends. and he took that and served the country in so many different capacities. and i was lucky enough to be there, because i knew him before he went into politics, i was lucky enough to know his mother and father, lucky enough to know his whole family, and lucky

enough to see this journey firsthand. >> he also really shares his sense of humor. and he did that by talking about his love of boats. let's listen. >> i've been in boats all my life. you learn the currents, you learn the shore waters. that's where i'm at peace. i just love it. sports, i've lived my whole life doing. nobody asked me to be on the team anymore. i remember i used to stand around -- no, no, next to you, i'll take you, you, you. i'm standing there, nobody wants me. because i can't move very well. this is a metaphor, but i miss it. boats, i'm still in the game. i'm privileged to have a very fast boat, a very powerful boat. everyone wants to go on it. it's a wonderful, wonderful outlet for me. >> he has a great sense of humor. people are able to see that, particularly after his

presidency. do you feel like he kind of kept that close, that he didn't want people to know how amicable and funny that he was while a sitting president? >> no, no, he was always amicable. he was a lot of fun. but he had a big job. you know, remember, people forget this, or maybe some don't know it. he was shot down in the second world war. he was in a little fighter plane. he was a young man. he got shot down. he should have been dead. luckily, a submarine came along and picked him up and rescued him. so he was very serious about his job as president of the united states. he wasn't cavalier. and when he sent kids to war, he knew what that was. because he went himself. and he almost died. so he was a serious man. very, very serious man. he has a great sense of humor, and he can't putt very well, but

other than that, he was a very serious guy. >> the bush legacy. was it his intention to groom his sons to become governors and the president? >> no, i don't think so. i have never had that discussion with him. but i don't think he groomed them to be anything except to serve the country and serve themselves and be decent people and citizens. his family is a wonderful, wonderful family. barbara bush is a great partner for him. she's an extraordinary woman. his children are terrific. and i don't think he ever set out for his son to be president of the united states. i think he was extraordinarily -- i know he was extraordinarily proud of the fact that his son was president twice. >> what was it like to see your son elected president? >> very emotional for me. very proud father. first time it's happened, i guess, in the history of our

country, except for the adamss. but it was mind-boggling. it was enormous. and a source of great pride for the family. >> you talk about the partnership, the 67-year marriage with barbara bush, who, of course, is celebrating her birthday as well. happy birthday to both of them. what is the secret behind their partnership, their marriage for so long? >> you know, i don't know. it's an incredible partnership. she's a very strong woman. and she supported him all the way. you know, 100%. if he made a decision, that was the decision. and she stuck by him. and she campaigned with him. and she was at his side the whole way. have you seen pictures of barbara bush when she was a young woman? >> i saw those pictures by way of your documentary. beautiful. >> beauty queen. she was a magnificent looking woman.

and george bush likes beautiful women. i'll say that. >> okay. we have seen him, you know, since '80, celebrate his birthday by jumping out of an airplane. what do you know about how he'll be celebrating this 88th? is he taking any daring, adventurous excursion again? >> i sure hope not. i hope not. >> all right. jerry weintraub, thanks so much. have a great weekend in kennebunkport with the bushes. and send my regards with a happy birthday. >> thank you very much, fredricka. >> thank you. jerry weintraub of the hbo documentary film "41" debuts on hbo thursday, june 14th. an accident on the boston subway brought trains to a halt. it was all to reunite a 3-year-old girl with a fallen friend. that one that she's holding up. does any mother ever feel like their kids are adults?

work of intelligence. it's offensive to our allies who are terribly upset. so this is very offensive. our intelligence leaders in the administration say that this is the worst breach that they have ever seen. >> i can't say that -- at least there were obviously leaks, but they weren't from the white house. let me tell you something, i sat with the president for two years. and i don't think there was anything that weighed on him more heavily than these life-and-death decisions. >> it's obvious on its face that this information came from individuals who are in the administration. the president may not have done it himself, but the president is certainly responsible as commander in chief. >> let's start out with a really simple yes or no. do you agree with the president that the private sector is doing fine? >> i agree with the president who called the press conference on friday to say that we need to take a series of very urgent

steps to accelerate job creation in this country, because we have storm clouds rolling in from europe. >> i just want to know whether the administration, whether you believe that the private sector is doing fine? is it doing better? >> i believe -- it's certainly doing better than the public sector. 4.3 million jobs created in the last 27 months. we need to accelerate that, candy. we all agree on it. the question is how we do it. governor romney's response was to light on the notion that we should hire -- that we should help state and local governments keep teachers and firefighters and police on the jobs. he said we don't need any more teachers. what planet is he living on that he thinks we can take these kind of hits in our education system and progress as a country. >> what we need to do is have education reform, not throw more money at teachers. and mitt romney knows that. >> it would lower unemployment, wouldn't it? >> actually, it doesn't. this money you're paying

teachers, this money that you're paying public sector employees comes from somewhere. and it comes out of the private sector. and it tends to hurt job creation there, and actually the net effect is less jobs. >> here's a story about achievement and success against the odds. in chicago, all 50 seniors at christ the king jesuit have all been accepted to college. the school did not even exist just four years ago. >> i'll be the first graduating class of my school. and the first graduating -- the student of my family. >> the first to come in, the first to leave out together, as one. soes why at graduation, it's going to be bittersweet. >> that is so incredible. christ the king is a catholic jesuit school. the doors opened in august of 2008 with 120 freshmen. in boston, a 3-year-old girl
