house is there as close as the fire was, and now i won't have a home. i have no place to go. >> so far the fires have gone through nearly 37,000 acres, a massive blaze. now the commerce secretary cited in two car accidents over the weekend suffered a seizure. that is the word today from a spokeswoman from the commerce department about the investigation into the accidents involving secretary john bryson are ongoing. brianna keilar joining us live with the latest. brianna, do we know when he had the seizure in relation to when the accidents happened? >> no, michael, we don't know that. it seems like the implication is that the seizures somehow caused the accident, but the statement coming from the commerce department doesn't exact ly mak that clear. it just says that he was involved in the traffic accidents, and that there was a -- that he did have a seizure, and according to an official that he was treated with medication for that seizure. i will tell you that the l.a.

ko county sheriff's office telling cnn a short while ago that bryson took a breathalyzer test obviously for alcohol, but it came back negative, and there is a blood test as well that he did, and they are waiting the results of this, but the l.a. county's sheriff's department does not think preliminary that drugs or alcohol were involved here, michael. >> well, let's explain to people, because we are talking about two separate traffic accidents here. walk through what police are saying happened? >> well sh, yeah, a kind of bize series of events here. this happened saturday according to the sheriff's office at about 5:00 p.m. that bryson allegedly was behind the wheel of his vehicle, a lexus, and he ran into a car a buick with three guys inside of it that was stopped as it was waiting for a train to cross. afterf th after that, he got out of the car and talked to the guys and got back into the car and then hit that car again and a matter of seconds before he hit another car, a honda according with a couple inside of it according to the sheriff's department.

at that point the l.a. kocounty firefighter/paramedic showed up and found bryson unconscious and al loan in his vehicle. they treated him from there and he went to the hospital, michael. >> what happens now? what have the authorities decided to do about the charges or other wise? >> well, he has been cited, and this is being investigated as a felony hit-and-run, but acco according to the captain of the law enforcement department that if the blood test comes back with no reason to believe he is under the influence, it is unlikely he would be facing criminal charges here. >> all right. appreciate it. brianna keilar there with the latest. thank you so much. when a young afghan woman say schoos he has -- says she has been raped and then she does something bravely, calls out the accusers all members of the afghan local police, but this young victim is not staying silent despite the dangers she

possesses. >> reporter: a distraught mother pleads for justice. she says her daughter has been raped and shame has been brought upon the family. i want the government to help us, she says. if they don't, i will tell them to come and kill my daughter, because i will not take her back. killing a rape victim is not rare in afghanistan, but what is rare is a rape victim speaking out. the 18-year-old girl's parents describes how the men tied her up and abducted her. over the course of the next five days they say, she was beat fwin abductors and repeatedly raped by one of them. five men have been accused in the attack. authorities say that two have been detain and held for further investigation. the two men insist they are innocent, and say that the incident was nothing more than a tribal incident by marriage to settle a dispute. all accused are afghan police in

the northern province. trained by the american special forces, the alp w. l.p. was formed to fight insurgents. human rights activists charge that the most illiterate recruits received minimal training and they are a de facto militia that creates as many problems as it solves. they say that the militia is uncheck and many of them are criminals and former taliban and accused of serious human rights abuses and crimes. >> there is no mechanism to monitor the operation the way they operate, and in many cases, they do not respect the rule of law and and up violating the women's rights. >> reporter: supporters of the a.p.l. say there have been problems, but they have been effective in combatting the

insurgents. >> this is afghanistan and we do have many people who are illiterate, and they are not enforcing law in their areas. >> reporter: officials point to detention of 2 of the 5 men to point to the fact that they are serious about her case. but even if the men are sentenced, they will most likely get off likely. afghanistan's tribal justice trumps the country's legal system, and victimized women like her know they will be blamed for the sexual violence they have been suffered, and will have no mercy. she has gone into hiding uncertain of her fate. >> now, more perspective, and it is unthinkable to people to think that a mother would ask for her daughter to be killed. walk through why that can be the case in a place like afghanistan. >> well, michael, in order to

understand that, first it has to be understood that women face a horrific kind of draconian justice. when a woman is sexually assaulted it is usually thought by the tribe that she has brought shame upon that family, and because of that, many of the women often are the victims of honor crimes and relatives will kill them, because they would rather kill them than face the shame that the woman would bring to the tribe or the family, and that is the tribal system that the abused women face. and with respect to mother's comments, it is amazing they spoke to press and went to the hospit hospital, and supporting the daughter. the mother here is saying that she needs helpp from the government, and the government must intervene so that the daughter does not bring shame upon the family and not forced to be killed. that is where the difference is in this case. women rights activists are saying that this is remarkable and extraordinary, and we need more women like her to come out who have been abused to speak

out against it, but still, they face a dangerous road, because they are in danger if they speak out, and in danger if they don't. >> one terrible thing about the story is who the alleged perpetrators are, the cops. obviously, civil right groups must be concerned about that the very people who are meant to protect the locals. >> there was a report just about a month ago that cited multiple abuses that have been reported against the a.l.p., the afghan local police, and this is essentially a militia that was trained in several provinces of the country by u.s. special forces. t it is supported by the interior ministry, but critics of the group say that the guys have too much power, and no oversight. the statistic confirmed to us about the literacy rate among the members of the a.l.p. is over 90%. the interior ministry says the only effective bull work against the insurgents in parts of the

country where there is no work against the insurgency, and yet human rights groups say repeated violations committed by these men and especially against the women, and that is where the concern lies. michael? >> well, sadly, not unusual. muhammad, thank you for the reporting. mohammed jamjoon there. >> and here is what else we are working on in this hour, in chicago, several people were killed, and some of them teenagers. we will talk to a woman who is trying to do something about that violence. also, she could be the next vice president of the united states, but she is more than just an elected official, she is a mother to a 5-year-old with downs syndrome. >> that is tough news to receive. it is not what you dream. it is not what you expect. and escape from alcatraz 50 years later. the urban legend says that the three bank robbers will return today, and the u.s. marshals say they are ready if that does happen. stay with us. d@

unemployed. and almost 5.5 million of them have been without a job for more than six months. >> it is just such a startling phenomenon and do we know why? >> researchers don't know why, and a lot of it is because of the recession been worse than any recession that we have seen since the great depression. >> reporter: what they do know is that it affects everyone. >> having a college degree does not protect you. i mean, you are more likely to be unemployed for longer if you are older, but it cuts across all races, and it cuts across all occupations, and it really fkt as everybody. >> the longer a person is out of a job, the harder it can be to find work. skills are rusty, and the connections fade away. what do you see when the people come through your centers? >> a lot of the people are desperate and want to get back to work. >> reporter: kirkland murray runs the program where the women are being trained. >> you see more and more people

little guy. >> reporter: she is the distinction of only woman in congress to give birth twice while in office. >> i was elected to congress in 2004 and still single. met brian a year later and got married and soon after that, i was pregnant and cole was born in 2007 and grace was born then in 2010. >> reporter: 1-year-old grace and 5-year-old cole. cole who loves rocking out to bruce springsteen, who is a budding athlete. >> that is his favorite. >> reporter: and who was born with down syndrome. >> that is tough news to receive. it is not what you dream. it is not what you expect. >> reporter: life has been a series of adjustments. a pressing of the reset button for kathy mcmorris rodgers and her husband, brian, who retired

from the military. >> i spent 26 years in the navy, and so, this is a lot like the navy. you know, it is dynamic and very interesting and a lot of purpose to it. it is good. it is all good. >> reporter: your commanders are younger though, right? >> yes, that is true. that is true. >> reporter: the family moved to washington, d.c., but it is still a challenge trying to make all of the pieces fit. >> i love what i do. i love being a mom. it is a constant juggling act. some days i feel like i am handling it better than other days. >> reporter: if becoming a parent has given her a new outlook, having a child with a disability has given her a new objective. >> you want a bite? there you go. >> reporter: she is the co-founder of the congressional down syndrome caucus. >> you want to be the best parent possible. >> reporter: mcmorris rodgers wants a new law to have children

children, where is it at? >> it has been introduced as the achieving better life expected act, and it has been introduced the the the house and the senate, and you have chris van hollen lining up behind the bill, and representative kathy mcmorris rodgers and the one hiccup may be the cost because it is raising eyebrows and takes away money, federal dollars out of the coffers, but whether it is the autistic or the down syndrome community, there is a lot of support for this, and that is one of the number one issues there, michael. >> well, we mentioned she is a rising star in the gop, but what are realistically the chances of her becoming mitt romney's vice president? >> well, she is not in the top five, and you don't hear her in the top five, but there are a dozen or more people's names who are mentioned, and she one of them. when it comes to women, there

are only a couple of women who are mentioned on that list. she being one of them. so if mitt romney decides to go to pick a female candidate as the v.p. running mate, but she stands a good chance, and even still, she is somebody who is rise ing rising in the ranks of the republican party, and recently named as the romney campaign to a key position, and now the house liaison with the campaign and definitely a name you want to watch in the few chu, michael. >> well, thank you for that great report, lisa sylvester there. >> thank you. another week of senseless gun violence in chicago. i want to talk to a woman who is trying to make a difference by opening up her home as a safe haven. don't forget that you can watch cnn live on your computer while you are at work. go right there cnn.com/tv. of any small business credit card! how does this thing work? oh, i like it!

mr. murdoch that i threatened him. this did not happen. i have to say to you, that there is no evidence that it happened other than mr. murdoch's, but it didn't happen, because i didn't call him, and i have no reason to want to call him. i would not have called him given everything that i have said to you. >> the former prime minister was testifying at an inquiry of the phone hacking scandal of murdoch's tabloids. it is still ongoing. well, now no the current british prime minister in a little bit of forgetfulness, david cameron and his wife and bodyguards accidentally left their 8-year-old daughter nancy behind after having a male at a local pub. turns out though, they were dining with another family, and they all loaded into two cars after dinner, and there was some confusion, and one thought that the other had the kid and the other thought that the other kid, and nancy was left behind. but the camerons figured it out

quickly, and the prime minister rushed back to the pub to get her and take her home. and dead ly shootings wreaking havoc across chicago this weekend n. one instance a 19-year-old shot in the head and the stomach and another a 16-year-old boy died after getting shot on the porch of his home. officials believed that many of the shootings were gang-related, but it is not known if any of the victims were intended targets, and in total eight people are being killed and at least 52 injured. a staggering number. c cnn's hero diane lattimer has opened up her home to children. >> guns, guns, guns, and these are the stones that represent the victims. >> and when they were shot at, i grabbed the kids and ran into the house. >> people ran into the houses and closed the doors and don't talk about it. but there are some people who are not afraid to go outside,

and i'm one of them. i'm diane and we opened up the commu community center called "kids off of the block," and we are known as kob. the kids are in gangs or homeless, and they have a lot of issues going on. i tell the kids, this is a peace place. a safe place. >> i want to really be a veterinarian. >> we have leadership workshops and job preparation, and music. it is a range of things that goes on in here. we started out with ten young people, and the next thing, i had 15 and then 25 and at one point i had 75 young people in three rooms of my house, and that is how kids off of the block started in my living room. we opened the doors to the new k.o.b. center in july. last year we served 301 young people. if they knock on that door, they can come in. >> i was 12 when i got in here. robbing people, and killing. diane changed my life.

i love her for that. >> i am no different from nobody else. i just opened up my door. why can't you come outside and see what is going on in the neighborhoods? there are people here who care, and i'm one of them. >> and diane joins me from chicago, and inspiring story the things that you have done. first of all, i want to ask you about the weekend violence and did it directly impact any of the kids that you work with? >> well, it always impacts the ki kids. it always impacts the young people all over this country when even one young person is killed, because they are usually the victim and the perpetrator, so somebody knows somebody and is associated with it. so yes, it impacts, yes. >> the chicago police superintendent gary mccarthy said that the number of shootings in the city are down, but it does not feel like it when you hear about the last week or so. what are you seeing on the streets? >> i'm seeing hopelessness, and i'm seeing in at least my immediate community that it is not down. the police is doing their part.

i am not saying that. i see them. they are prevalent in the community. but everybody knows that it takes more than the police to calm what is going on. it takes a change in the environment and the economy to help those young people, and the young people don't see that the police are there to help them. they see them as their enemy. so that is kind of another thing that we go through, but the crime, crime is definitely not down as i see it. actually, it is more brutal to me. >> and what is the biggest problem facing the young people that you deal with in chicago? is it that hopelessness or the confrontational perhaps atmosphere with the police? what is it? >> it is actually the economics. it is actually lack of a family structure. it is lack of a community structure. it's really crazy when you talk to the young people that are out there in the gangs that drop out of school and then you look into their eyes, and you will see utter hopelessness. they don't believe in you,

themselves, their families or anything, because that is what the community dictates to them, and people -- really we need the politician involved big time on this issue from the president down. everybody needs to come together to help the young people, they are dying. they are going to jail at phenomenal rates. what more do we need to do? >> a week ago i was talking to suzanne malveaux on this program about the importance of education of girls in afghanistan and the education is power and knowledge to pull them out where they are at, but it is happening here in the u.s. education is key. are they getting the educational opportunities that they need to do what needs to be done? >> no. when you have 7,000 young people dropping out of school, across this united states, education is not the problem, it is the solution, but they can't even get to the education, because they are too busy dealing with the life issues in the communities and the neighborhood, and going to school, and scared to go to

school because of the violence and scared to do anything in their communities because of the violence, band was they are part of it. it is not so much as the gangs as everybody thinks it is. it has more to do with the economics as and has more to do with the young people need to be trained and helped and put back in schools, and good schools. >> it is a decay issue, isn't it? and the troubles that come from the decay. what do you want to see happen? >> i want to see somebody who will address poverty and disconnected youth within our communities, because it is there. i want to see from the top-down, an interest and concern that we are losing generations of young people to themselves. >> you think that the top cares? >> i want to see somebody care. >> are they out of touch in the top or you say top-down, because it is an invisible problem for a lot of people. >> yeah, because a lot of people just don't understand, and they believe they are doing it because they are malicious or evil, but that is not why. no one wants to come to talk to

the young people and find out why they are like they are, and everybody wants to say send them to jail. we see that the jail is not working, because it is full of them. so we need help with the young people. >> and urgently, and diane, great to talk to you. cnn heer rro and doing amazing , and we appreciate your talking to us. >> thank you, thank you. >> all right. well, cars stuck and people walking through waist high water and the damage is going to cost million millions. yeah, we are talking about florida. also, trouble in europe is good for one thing, gas prices in the united states. so, fill up the tank while you can, and we will talk about all of that when we come back. ♪

the investigation continues. well, everyone has noticed that things are easing up at the gas pump right now, and the price in most places dropping steadily since hitting the peak in early april. alison kosik at the new york stock exchange with an explanation. and it is funny, because i noticed it yesterday, and we rr talking $4 a gallon. >> and doesn't it seem like yesterday that we were worried about the $5 a gallon of gas for the summer, and congress members were promising $2.50 a gallon gas? we well, be careful what you wish for. and gas prices are down, but not for the reasons that we can be happy about, because europe's debt crisis, and what ha that is doing is to create global demand for oil, and slowing growth in ch china and that affects oil prizes. and crude oil prices fell from $110 in march to $85 today, and

so, yes, it helps us when we fill up the cars and puts a little bit more money into the pockets, but it is not necessarily for all of the happy reasons, michael. >> sh, i am getting a sense that there is a downside to this. >> yes, the slowdown overseas is causing a slowdown in the economic growth and the slowdown in the job market, so what is good for the gas is bad for the jobs, and essentially putting the brakes on our recovery. we saw the same thing happen in recession, gas prices plunged so that the lower prices are not always a good thing when you see the economies around the world slowing down. >> yes. low gas prices can mean that the economy is tanking. you know, we are talking this morning like on cnn international as well about what happened in spain, and the bailout of $125 billion shoved into the banks. we saw the asian markets and the european markets soar on that news. here, not so much. >> right. we saw the stocks pop at the open, and in fact, the dow got

>> this one gets a false on the truth-o-meter, because 10% is a big number and the partners at politic new jersey found that there were five democratic legislators out of 185 that total served in that time, so it is less than 3%, and far cry from the 10% that he said. so false on the truth-o-meter on that. >> but a worry, regardless, isn't it? president obama been hammering away at mitt romney's record, and here is a claim, that when mitt romney was governor, the state lost 40,000 manufacturing jobs which is the a rate twice the national average. well, how does that rate? >> we gave that one a half true on the truth-o-meter, and the reason is that the obama campaign is right about the numbers. indeed those statistics are correct, but when we talked to the e kconomists they told us tt it is a stretch to blame romney

for that. of course, the decline in manufacturing has been a much bigger thing than any governor can control. there just isn't evidence that romney had a direct impact on that one. half true on that one. >> you will love this one, bill. this chain e-mail that some people fell for says that hawaii governor kneel abbneil abercroma late-night visit to the kin coe's to forge president obama's birth certificate two days before the obama unveiled it to the media. i suppose that was from one tof the birthers. >> well, this is a pants on fire false. this is a satire in a newspaper

and they did different things like i bet that the mainstream media won't tell you this, but it is just false. pants on fire on that one. >> my 12-year-old can do great photoshop work, and known to pop down to kin kko's and these this do play to the people's beliefs, right? having their beliefs reinforced. >> right. people want to believe those things, and you go the the blogs where this guy posted and these are people who want the believe that obama was born in kenya and the mainstream media is covering it up. >> absolutely extraordinary, and what some people will buy, isn't it? bill adair, thank you so much. >> it is good for business though. >> and yes, is it not. good for e-mails and you will all die tomorrow if you don't forward this. all that good stuff. thank you, bill adair. all right. now, if you are tired and

what's happened so far in the courtroom today. >> reporter: we believe that alleged victim four has taken the witness stand as the first person who says he was abused by jerry sandusky. the first person that the prosecutor are putting on the stand. because once you leave the courtroom, you can't get back in, we don't have our first hand reports, but that's what's supposed to happen right after lunch. >> what did prosecutors say in their opening statement today? >> reporter: the most dramatic moment is when prosecutors put up on the screen photographs of the eight of the alleged victims. eight faces of smiling little boys who were as young as eight years old when all of the alleged abuse occurred. some of them now 18 years old all the way up to 28 years of age. also something that prosecutors revealed this day that jerry dan dusky's wife may have witnessed

abuse taking place in a hotel room. that's what we're told we expect to hear from one of the witnesses. we also saw evidence coming into the courthouse this day. evidence we expect the government to put into the record that they made reference to including a set of golf clubs. also including a hockey stick and some other evidence. this is what prosecutor have already flagged for us, and that is tied to alleged victim number four who we believe is on the stand. >> what about the defense? what are they saying? >> reporter: well, the first thing out of box, they told jurors that there are no victims in this case. they said unless prosecutors can prove to you beyond a reasonable doubt that there are victims. they reminded jurors that jerry sandusky has consistently said he's not guilty. he might have showered with some boys, but the defense attorney said there's no sexual assault that ever took place.

like halfway gone. it was completely gone within about four hours. >> my goodness. it came and went quickly. >> caller: shortly after it went out, we lost power. we lost power about 5:00. it didn't come on until 1:00 in the morning. >> debbie, the pictures are incredible. how about your home? are you okay, and how are you coping? >> caller: we're okay. i couldn't go to work. i was supposed to work saturday and sunday night. i wasn't able to go to work. >> that's not so bad, is it? >> caller: it's not so bad but i left my co-workers kind of strapped. they understood. better safe than sorry. we got a couple of inches in our back door and started digging a trench. all the houses looked like we were in the middle of the boths floating in the river. river flowing on both sides of us until the bridge went out. when the bridge went out, it

doing? >> caller: no specific word but pretty well since he's able to travel back to the los angeles area to washington. the first accident according to the l.a. sheriff's department involved secretary bryson running into a car. he got out of the car and talked to the three guys that were inside the car and got back in his car and left hitting the car as he left. it was a few minutes later when the next accident happened. a very short distance away in rosemeade right next door to san gabriel. that's when the fire department paramedics responded to the scene. listen to how someone from the sheriff department described this. >> when he struck that vehicle he was unconscious behind the wheel.

los angeles county fire department paramedic did respond. he was transported to a local hospital where he was admitted. >> reporter: so he was unconscious at that point according to officials there. we learned today during the white house briefing that president obama has not talked to secretary bryson but his chief of staff did. it was the white house that learned last night, so a day after this happened, president obama learning about these accidents this morning. >> i think it was such a surprise to all of us. did the white house elaborate on whether secretary bryson had a preexisting condition or was this a first for him? >> reporter: the white house has not elaborated on that at all and we've asked. there is a report that perhaps the secretary did have some sort of pre-existing condition or experience with seizures in the past. cnn has not confirmed that.

we don't know if that's true, and we're checking into that. >> he's been cited for felony hit and run. what's the likelihood of the charges going anywhere? >> reporter: the sheriff department says drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played a role in this. we know that secretary bryson voluntarily took a breathalyzer. it came back negative. there's a blood test that they are in process and what we heard from a source at the sheriff's department is that if that comes back negative, the likeliness of the authorities pursuing this felon charge are pretty low. >> pretty slim. you would think so. all right. thank you so much for the update. an emotional announcement from good morning america host robin roberts. first she beat breast cancer five years ago. now she's facing another health issue. you'll hear her emotional announcement, next.

i want to share some pictures into cnn. take a look as they focus. a three-alarm fire. firefighters on the scene battling this blaze at an abandoned warehouse about two to three stories. you can see they seem to have gotten a handle on it as they continue to fight this fire. again, it was a abandoned warehouse. thankfully, nobody inside. we're watching this closely. we'll bring you more. i want to share some news with you about one of our colleagues in the news business, robin roberts. you may recall she battled and beat breast cancer. today she announced another serious health problem. >> sometimes treatment for cancer can lead to other serious medical issues, and that's what i'm facing right now. it's something that's called

mds. if you're looking going it up going what, i was doing the same thing. it's rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. dr. richard beser has been holding my hand through this. he'll have a lot more information on our website. the reason i'm sharing this with everybody now is because later today i begin what's known as pre-treatment. my big sister is a virtually perfect match for me. she's there with diane and ann. she is going to be my donor. she's going to be my donor. i know. thank you, jesus. doctors tell me that is going to be a tremendous help in me beating this. >> this is a woman with a lot of

courage. robin roberts says she will beat this thing, and we know she will. she also says she will miss a chunk of work after her bone marrow transplant. joining us now from new york is dr. gail robo. she's the director of the leukemia program at cornell. thank you forri joining us. mds used to be called pre-leukemia. what is it? >> it's a disease of the bone marrow. the bone marrow is an incredibly important organ that makes your white blood cells to fight infections. red blood cells to carry around oxygen and platelets that help you clot if you're bleeding. this is a very serious diagnosis that can happen not only after breast cancer treatment but any cancer with radiation or

chemotherapy or both and can happen to patients that have never been treated for cancer. >> she battled breast cancer and beat it. i understand this mds can be brought on by the chemotherapy and radiation. is it certain that these treatments that she underwent to fight breast cancer, is that what caused this? >> it's hard to know for sure. there may be some information in her chromosomes that suggest the condition she has now is termed secondary or specifically related to chemotherapy and possibly to radiation as well. the problem is you can't not treat the first cancer for fear of the second one. the appropriate therapy is always to treat curatively for the tumor that you've got. the problem is that as the success rates for certain types of cancer like hodgkins disease or breast cancer, as those rates

go up, there are some patients that will develop secondary diseases of the bone marrow afterwards. >> what the you suggest people do, who are watching that are cancer survivors and gone through chemotherapy or radiation. should they go to their doctors and is there a test to find out if they might have mds? >> i have to say she is enormously courageous in making all of this public. it does such an incredible service to the world and to patients out there for making this known. there should not be mass panic. this is a rare event. it doesn't mean that everybody needs to go running to their doctors. it does mean that people are worried about having successfully beaten one thing and could they be stuck with another. usually this is a diagnosis that's picked up on routine monitoring blood visits that

show an abnormality in the complete cbc or blood count. patients that are treated for other cancer should be monitored with complete blood counts by their oncologist or internal medicine doctor. >> i want to talk about what she's going to undergo in the coming weeks and months. she says she will start pre-treatment starting today. that's so she can prepare for her bone marrow transplant. finding a match with her sister and she calls it a near perfect match, is that rare? what is her prognosis? >> it was a wonderful, wonderful piece of news that she has a match in her sister. although, we have much improved capabilities in finding donors in unrelated donors and using cord blood donors, it's still a fantastic bit of news to have a sibling donor especially for someone who is in any type of

ethnic minority because minorities are underrepresented still in the donor registries. it also makes timing easier because for her when she's ready to go, her sister is going to be ready to go, and that makes it very nice in terms of getting things move quickly and efficiently. that said, the process is a big deal. it involves chemotherapy and chemotherapy plus radiation depending on the protocol they will use for her. even after the transplant is done and she's out of the hospital, she will need lots of support especially for those first few months of recovery. >> she has millions of supporters in her viewers and family and friends. i haven't spent a lot of time with her but i have spent some time with her. she's a fantastic person. we wish her all the best. thank you for breaking it down for us and helps us understand mds. >> thank you.

reading about your work in the global health atmosphere is the work you've done. you mentioned you traveled to the sudan. you even went to the world economic forum. you've really done your research. in your estimation, what are the biggest problems? i know there are no easy solutions, but how do you fix them? >> that's a very difficult question. it's something that i'm incredibly interested in and passionate about. i'm so grateful to have the platform that i do because of my job. i'm really interested in sort of engaging in new youth leaders who will be the new thought leaders in terms of helping to solve these just unsurmountable number of issues we have.

that have arisen and that we continue to combat. also, i'm really encouraged by the great work that's being done. anybody that finds it hard to engage. i'm a taxpayer. you're a taxpayer. we're all taxpayers out there. i would encourage people to educate themselves. check out u.s. aids website. see the great work that is being done and that we're continuing to do. that is encouraging and inspiring, and why i'm happy to lend my voice and my support behind anything to do with child survival specifically. >> i wish you the best of luck. it's great to see you. >> any time. >> good luck on the hill tomorr tomorrow. >> thank you very much. we have breaking news out of maryland where we're getting report offense an unmanned drone crash right here on u.s. soil. we will go live to the pentagon after the break. would you take ? well, there is.

great to see you. what changes have been made by the usa gymnastics board in response to these allegations. >> they're trying to close a loophole in their rules that allow these coaches that's been accused of physical or sexual abuse to continue coaching. these gymnasts found out he was still coaching at another gym that was not affiliated with usa gymnastics. that gym was owned by a convicted child molester. they were exposing this loophole or exploiting this loophole that as long as they didn't operate under the usa gymnastics organization, they were allowed to continue to keep coaching. the change that usa gymnastics has made is anything that competes at the national level in competitions must now be a

member of that organization. a any club or individual gymna s gymnasts. they will have to sign a welfare agreement which spells out what abuse is, what's considering abuse. >> what about criminal charges? have any of the coaches faced criminal charges? how are they going to be held accountable and how are the gymnasts responding? >> in doug's case he was acquitted of criminal charges decades ago. some of the gymnasts that have come forward say their families helped finance his defense. one of the problems with criminal charges in the cases they are so old that the statute of limitations have run out. it's not likely that any criminal charges will come forward. they believe this is a positive step.

they are very glad that usa gymnastics is taking this step to tighten the regulations and close the loopholes but they say there are still loopholes that remain. some coaches are still able to run camps on their own that are unsanctioned. they would like to see that closed as well. usa gymnastics says it will consider more changes in the future. >> all right p thank you very much. we should mention the new policy changes by usa gymnastics will go into effect in august. well, a lady gaga whacked in the head on stage. it happened during a live concert. find out how it unfolded. first, thinking of taking the family out to the ball game? you better start saving. a list was just released of the most expensive sporting event tickets. watching the bostoned sox will run you $88 a pop.
