he has nothing but glowing praise for the leader, talking of the aura surrounding him and the great man he has turned into. at times, almost sounding like a spokesman. i went window shopping, he says. there are plenty of goods in the shops. that's already a big difference. there was nothing a decade ago. it was totally different. i guess it changed drastically since the era started. pyonyang has changed, the elite and chosen. in the country side, the few visitors are allowed to see. the groups say food is scarce and malnutrition high. he was also reunited with his children. there's tho way to know if that's true, but his family's presence in pyonyang is likely a reason the former chef is saying nothing negative.

he says that kim jong-un had organized a party for him, but that he doesn't quite remember how it ended after having a few drinks. he does remember though that the north korean leader invited him back when ever he wants, claiming that kind of invitation from pyonyang is unprecedented. paula hancocks, cnn. next hour of the cnn next hour of the cnn newsroom begins now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com effective immediately. u.s. special operations have suspended the training of afghan recruits. 14 were killed in august alone. u.s. forces will revet all current members before reinstating the training. in syria, an american journalist is missing. he's 31. a freelance writer from texas. he went to syria to cover the

you, was he a religious figure? political figure, all of those? >> you were asking whether he was a religious figure? >> yes, i don't mean to fade away from you. religious, political, business? what would you say he was more than anything? >> well, he certainly was a religious figure. he built up this enormous empire and he was a business man. and a politician as well. but he had a very systematic and well worked out theology and he was always getting new revelations or revealing further things to his followers. and lists them, i would say, very seriously. >> professor, it seems like while they are still active, they passed their peak maybe a generation ago.

when i was a kid, parents were scared that their kids would end up -- a slightly derogatory term. >> you come and go. >> i'm sorry about that. i don't want you to think i'm being rude. be rude to a professor. so, calling yourself a messiah. that's an extreme stance to take. was he that charismatic? >> some charismatic leaders serply do call themselves messiahs. he would say, there's a sense in which everybody can be a messiah, but he was the sort of messiah of all messiahs. he was a special man and he saw or he said that messiahs sat in office. he had to form a particular -- distorting the kingdom of heaven on earth, restoring it to the

situation it was in the garden of eden before the fall. this was his task. what he meant by messiah. >> well, certainly and a lot of people do not agree with what he stood for, but you can't deny he was a fascinating man at the very least. >> yes, he was and he had an enormous influence over a large number of people. but you're right. everybody by any means and he was treated with a lot of suspicion throughout his life. he went to prison in america, in korea several times. he was a highly controversial figure. >> i covered a mass wedding in madison square garden about 20 years ago. 2 to 3,000 couples there, never met each other before. i know that man was influential. thank you so much for joining us. on the last hour, janet napolitano spoke about storm devastation in louisiana. she's in hard hit areas.

>> we will stay until this recovery is complete. we are here to be part of the team, part of the team in louisiana and make sure that hurricane isaac is put to rest as soon as we can. for all of those affected and in the meantime, please know that all of us are thinking about those in louisiana now without their homes. or ability to open up because of either water, lack of power. we know this is a big, tough storm, but where'll work through it forever. >> authorities have dropped a mandatory evacuation order. they're urging people to stay away. officials warned yesterday that a lock failure was imminent. crews have relieved the

pressure. they did it by releasing water, but say it's still touch and go. the river is expected to crest tomorrow at more than 19 feet. my colleague joins us now. george, good seeing you. what's the latest on the river as we speak? >> reporter: gary, you know as we speak, we're watching this river rise slowly, but surely. everyone's paying close attention to it. it will affect a lot of people here along the pearl river including one person who you may know. the star of the history channel reality show, "swamp people." he helped us go out to give you a much better picture of what's happening. no better way to show you than to take you out on the river, so what you see here is the pearl river. some eight to nine feet higher than it typically is. you're seeing this river so high because of all this storm water. all the rain that came in from

hurricane isaac. it's got to go somewhere. now, officials are also concerned about a navigational canal that runs parallel to the pearl river. there was concern earlier about those locks failing. but officials seem fairly certain that those are doing better. they're monitoring that situation. now, i want to bring in terrell evans here. no one knows this river better than you. you've seen the river rise before. what are you expecting tonight? >> we're expecting to see it tomorrow, it's supposed to go to about 19.5. that's their prediction right now. everybody's kind of got their eye on it and they're a little skeptical. they're watching the gauges down here on the rise. 19.5 is going to flood quite a few areas down here. especially like the upper end of the pearl starting from 59 back this way.

some of the areas that were affected through isaac were some of the subdivisions like indian village, quail ridge. they were caught with some storm surge. this river is going to get back in those areas, so there is some concern. we have a subdivision over here called magnolia forest. it's going to be affected, also. it's a guessing game right now. they're saying 19.5. i hope they're right. >> let's take a look again. we're talking about three additional feet of water before all is said and done out here on the pearl river. and i want to show you what's been happening out here. all day, this has been the scene just outside our truck, people have been coming by to look at this river. people who live here all their lives, they know exactly how this river got back in 1983. it got around 21 feet. that caused a lot of damage here

along the pearl river. right now again, we know that crest will be right around 19.5 feet, so this river rising slowly, but surely. right here where we're standing should see about three feet of water. >> so, how worried are they about the cresting tomorrow and what time do they expect it? >> reporter: the timing has changed throughout the day. initially, we thought it would be 1:00 a.m., but now, it sounds like it will be later in the evening. so 7:00 p.m. tomorrow. we've seen it rise inch by inch, hour by hour. again, they're expecting this area where we're standing to be flooded. several homes that took water during the hurricane will have water again, gary. >> george, our executive producer just told me, he's from louisiana, he says you must watch out for the water moccasins. >> reporter: you know, yeah. i've definitely stayed away.

because they're out there, so are the gators as terel evans told me. >> george howell's been there from the beginning. nice work and good talking to you. not quite the speakers democratic leaders had in mind for their upcoming convention. >> hey, what's up! what's going on! >> but you can't argue, it's democracy at work. why hundreds turned out in charlotte today. and harvard university, why some of the greatest young minds in the nation are now accused in a massive cheating scandal. ress. i plugged in snapshot, and 30 days later, i was saving big on car insurance. with snapshot, i knew what i could save before i switched to progressive. the better i drive, the more i save. i wish our company had something this cool. you're not filming this, are you? aw! camera shy. snapshot from progressive.

two days before the convention start, hundred of people marched by charlotte banks. some chanting, we got sold out. it was called march on wall street south. joe johns spent some time talking to demonstrators about their motives and plans. >> in charlotte in the run up to the democratic national convention, the march on wall street south had been suggest to a lot of hype, but it came off without a hitch with only two arrests and no reported violence. between 2 and 10,000 people were predicted. only a few hundred showed up, but they were loud. about what you would expect from a march against the banks that make charlotte one of the country's leading financial centers. honestly, it was the police who led the way, but not far behind

pushing a bicycle was an organizer from occupy wall street in new york who had come over from tampa, where he had been protesting at the republican national convention. >> we ultimately ended up coming down with a couple of buses and some other people found their own transportation. now, as for numbers here, there are a lot less. half the people ended up going back to new york. >> why? >> a lot of our people have jobs. a lot of people aren't interested in protesting. >> for the police in the city, of course, the smaller numbers made the march more manageable. political conventions of the past have often exploded in ugly confrontatio confrontations, but not so far this year. what is the recipe for success with these marches? we've seen a peaceful march in tampa and apparently, here. very different from what we saw in denver and minneapolis four years ago. >> i think it's anticipation and

communication. you've got to anticipate, have the willingness to talk with people, understand what they want to do and then you try to negotiate through it and make sure in the end that everybody's safe. >> protests are expected to continue on the holiday, including one demonstration featuring members of organized labor. >> thank you very much. you can take part in the dnc and cnn's election round table. tuesday, join wolf blitzer for this live virtual chat. submit your questions and we will give you answers in realtime. live coverage of the convention begins tuesday, also and that starts 7:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn and tomorrow, we'll have a special look at what president obama is really like. jessica yellin reveals the man to the people who know him the

student can do in school. cheating. at harvard. last year, students took a final exam, open notes, open book and open internet, but one thing students cannot do, they, quoted the instructions, may not discuss the exam with others. the professor noticed too many similarities between exam answers. now, the university is questioning 125 students for allegedly cheating. >> it's just more confusion we thought to by and large display -- >> let's go to the author of a book called "that book about harvard." eric hester went to harvard and graduated from harvard, 2008. thanks for joining us.

you're not surprised. w why? >> just because cheating happens at every school and harvard, i think the reason it's become such a giant national story is because it is harvard and there's an expectation of you know, integrity there. and also, the fact that it's 125 students, which really speaks to perhaps a larger, more cultural flaw, rather than just a couple of rogue students making a bad decision. >> eric, the president of harvard made this statement. i'll show it to our viewers. these allegations, if proven, represent unacceptable behavior that betrays the trust upon which intellectual inquiry depends. she says unacceptable behavior. what was more important? doing well or right? >> well, i think it's very difficult for some students at harvard because you enter this

school and it's engrained in every student's mind that cheating is bad, but it's also engrained in everyone's mind that failing is bad and it's especially true at a place like harvard where students are expected to do well and they're used to doing well. when you're 19 and 20 years old, sometimes, these two ideals kind of clash and it's important at these institutions to constantly reenforce the more noble of these ideals. when a 19-year-old begins to make a bad decision, it can spiral pretty quickly. >> what puzzles me about this story is the exam was open note, book, internet and students ha had a week to finish it. you go on the internet, facebook, youtube, hear people talk to you on youtube. what's the difference between that and talking to a student? sounds like teachers put a lot of trust in their student, but isn't that a fine line, gray area there? >> i think that's really of the larger issues at play here and this is a universal issue at all

levels of school all over the world. in this era of social media, to share in the information is just so common and natural and because of that, it i think the line blurs between oh, what's accept acceptable in an academic setting. because of that, it's even more imperative for academic institutions to constantly reemphasize what's okay and what's not. >> i went to school across the river. boston university. i remember it being a huge to do when we brought calculators into class. shows you how times have advanced. do you think there's more pressure at harvard to cheat and the other ives? >> you have to think of it from the student's perspectives. they've been spending the majority of their life trying to get into harvard. really from a really young age. and getting in to harvard and

once you're in, this idea that once you get beyond harvard, there's a lot of career success waiting for you. mark zuckerberg and some of these students are very talented and they see the type of rewards on the other side. so there's a lot at stake and these students, i think some of them, have been faced with a choice of whether or not to cheat or fail -- they've gone to so much ahead of them. not to exonerate them. >> are you afraid they're going to take your diploma away from zblou. >> i hold on to it tightly, but my book actually is really more about exposing myself and what it's like for a 19-year-old to try to find his way and come of age in an intense academic place and freshman year is hard no matter where you go to school

and it was no different for me. i really do sympathize with students who have a lot on their plate. especially in this culture that's obsessed with success. so that's really what my book explores and while i don't exonerate these students, they're adults, they should have known better, but there is more to the story. >> thank you for joining us. terrifying moments caught on camera in what was supposed to be a fun, family outing. the outcome of this incredible scene in a moment.
