when new england patriots owner robert kraft visited russia in 2005 he came home without one of his most prized possessions. a nfl championship super bowl ring. the $25,000 ring with 124 diamonds is now on display inside the kremlin. kraft says he never intended to let russia have it. cnn's alino cho explains what happened. >> reporter: it was the theft heard round the world. or was it? the real story's still a mystery. did russian president vladimir putin steal a super bowl ring from new england patriots owner robert kraft? kraft says, yes. >> i'm tremendously humbled by this great honor. >> reporter: this is kraft at an event in new york last week accepting the carnegie hall meddle of excellence and bringing up the story which first surfaced in 2005 when kraft met with putin in st. petersburg. he said he showed putin the
5:01 pm
shiny new $25,000 diamond encrusted super bowl ring engraved with his name on it when putin said, according to kraft at the gala, quote, he goes, i can kill someone with this ring. i put my hand out and he put it in his pocket and three kgb guys got around him and walked out. so putin swiped it? not according to one aid who says he was a witness. in a statement to cnn, putin's spokesman said, i was there when it happened. so what mr. kraft is saying now is weird. i was standing 20 centimeters away from him and mr. putin and saw and heard how mr. kraft gave this ring as a gift. according to "the new york post" which first broke the story, kraft said that white house officials urged him to say it was a gift in the interest of u.s.-soviet relations. and in a statement back then, kraft said the same. a spokes marn for the kraft group now adds, it's a humorous
5:02 pm
anecdotal story that robert re-tells for laughs. he loves that his ring is at the kremlin and as he stated in 2005, he continues to have great respect for russia and the leadership of president putin. which still doesn't answer the lingering question of whether the ring was a gift or a lift. 2005 was the bush administration and on sunday we caught up with former vice president dick cheney. >> i don't know anything about it. i just heard the brief blurb on it this morning. >> oh, my, my. so the kremlin has it but where specifically is it? >> on display we're told at the kremlin library, fred. while bob kraft continues to dodge the story of which version of the story is true, is it a get or putin take it, putin as you know in london today. he held a conference with the uk
5:03 pm
prime minister cameron and lengthy one and many, many questions of syria but not a single one about the super bowl ring. the mystery continues. >> we were all waiting. i wonder if putin ever wears that ring, if he ever borrows it from the library from time to time and sports it. >> apparently tried it on and put it in the pocket in 2005. now it's at the kremlin library. >> all for them to see or enjoy by those at the library. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> all right. overseas, more protests in turkey. police clash with dmen stray or thes in a funeral procession in the capital city. authorities used water cannons and teargas to disperse the crowd. thousands cheered on the turkish prime minister at a rally in istanbul near the square where protesters gathered earlier. tomorrow, president obama and other world leaders gather for the g 8 summit in northern
5:04 pm
ireland. on the agenda, what to do about the civil war in syria, the global economic crisis and international trade. so who's at the table? cana canada, france, germany, italy, japan, russia, britain and, of course, the united states. and this week, we expect to hear more about the national security agency's surveillance programs. a lot of people still have a lot of questions about the nsa leaks including whether the data collecting programs help thwart any terrorist plots. athena jones is live for us now in washington. it is driving a lot of conversations involving u.s. lawmakers, even today. >> reporter: that's right, fredericka. since the story broke, we have heard opinions on both sides of the issue and also put a lot of pressure on the administration. especially from privacy advocates to explain to the american people just how these programs have worked, how they continue to work, and whether they've been able to thwart any
5:05 pm
plots. i had a chance to speak this morning with the former director of the nsa general michael hayden about this whole story. here's what he had to say. >> i understand the sensitivities. i have some of them myself but i do think what's been done, as the president said, is a fairly light hand that really gives us some significant returns in making us more safe. >> reporter: and so, there you heard from general hayden. they believe that the program made americans more safe. one bit of information we have now about a plot thwarted with the help of these surveillance programs is that plot back in 2009 to blow up the new york city subway system. we're told we learned in a declassified document i should say received over the weekend, a document given by the intelligence committee to congress, through the programs tracking the phone calls of the plotter, they were able to stop that plot and so we expect to hear a little bit more about other plots that were also
5:06 pm
thwarted but this may not be enough for some people like colorado senator udall with big concerns about these surveillance programs. let's listen to what he had to say this morning. >> i don't think collecting millions and millions of americans' phone calls, now this is the meta data, this is time, place, to whom you direct the calls is making us any safer and i think it's ultimately perhaps a violation of the fourth amendment. i think we ought to have this debate. >> reporter: so there you heard the senator saying we ought to have the debate. the debate is definitely still raging. he'll get the wish and a lot of discussion about this, is it making americans safer? is there more limits placed on the programs? that conversation's going to be continuing this week and beyond. >> all right. indeed. thanks so much, appreciate that. >> thanks. all right. guess what. the countdown is on. hours away now from the premier of all new morning show right here on cnn called "new day." beginning monday morning 6:00

flash floods washed cars right off the road and put drivers in a really dangerous situation in missouri. up to ten inches of rain fell in two hours around springfield yesterday according to klor. that was enough to turn roads in to rivers in the blink of an eye. rescue crews say they were busy nonstop with calls to help drivers who got stuck in the floodwaters. firefighters in colorado now have most of the destructive wildfire under control jumping from 55% contained to 65% today. this fire destroyed nearly 500 homes and for firefighters caught in the middle of the
5:11 pm
flames, leaving a home to burn is a very tough decision. here's martin savage. >> reporter: no firefighter wants to let a house burn but sometimes there's no choice. >> that's the hard part. a gut check doing this job but you don't go in to a home, there might be something you can't save. >> reporter: one of the hardest decisions is whether or not they can save a home. and in a big fire like this, it's a decision they have to make a lot. >> yeah, go ahead. >> an address for you. >> reporter: todd makes this call from his truck. >> you can quickly read that terrain potentially dangerous for firefighters? >> correct. >> reporter: this terrain over here, simply simply the pog if i, safer. >> correct. >> reporter: that house could be saved? >> yes.

>> reporter: that one you might have to let go? >> yep. >> reporter: he has a save, it's his crews. >> stuck co, wood, wood roofs, tile roof. you know? if it's combustible materials, definitely harder to defend. >> reporter: may sound cold or incensive but in the past firefighters have stayed too long simply because it was a home. and died trying to save it. another deciding factor is the big picture. balancing, say, saving a home versus saving a subdivision. that's james' call. >> even though a single resident and his property is dear to that person, we have to look at the overall picture of the community in general. >> reporter: and remember all of this from todd to mike to james is all done in just minutes in the heat and chaos of a roaring blaze. and they say it's never, ever easy. it's going to be the difference in some cases of whether a homeowner comes home to a home
5:13 pm
or not. >> it is a tough decision to make. because you don't ever want to see anyone lose their home. but the tougher decision is will all the firefighters come home at the end of the day? >> reporter: if they could, firefighters say they would save every home. the greatest pain is knowing they can't. martin savage, cnn, black forest, colorado. a shocking investigation in to cancer charities. the charity owner refused to talk with us about where your money might be going. but today, he's got something to say, next. she got a parking ticket... ♪ and she forgot to pay her credit card bill on time. good thing she's got the citi simplicity card. it doesn't charge late fees or a penalty rate. ever. as in never ever. now about that parking ticket.

mr. reynolds? hey! excuse me? right here, buddy. mr. reynolds? stop for a second. where are you going? mr. reynolds? back in knoxville, there's another cancer charity, the children's cancer fund of america. and this one run by yet another member of the family. rose perkins. hi, rose perkins in? >> she is not available and not doing interviews. >> reporter: why not? she is running a charity for kids with cancer. seems like a good idea. >> it is. i've been told to tell you she's not doing interviews. >> reporter: can you tell us what you do -- any positive things you do? >> you can send your questions to her e-mail. >> what is that? >> we'll answer it. >> reporter: asking us for money, what would you say you did with your money? >> we help children with cancer. >> reporter: how do you do that? >> what do you mean? we provide them financial assistance. if you have any other questions,
5:19 pm
please send them to her e-mail. >> reporter: okay. my question -- rose perkins did say they have a clear conscience because we feel we are making a good difference in people's lives but also told us an interview is not something we can consider. that may be because of the questions we'd like to ask her and the other members of her extended family. who are essentially making a living on your donations. rose perkins, the ceo of the children's cancer fund, is paid $227,442 a year. her ex-husband, james reynolds sr. is president and ceo of cancer fund of america. he gets paid $236,815. and james reynolds jr., president and ceo of the breast cancer society has a salary of
5:20 pm
$261,609. money from donors like you who in 2011 sent these three charities $26 million in cash. how much of those donations actually went to helping cancer patients? according to the charity's own tax records, about 2% in cash. example, the cancer fund of america raised $6 million through its fund raising campaign in 2011. and gave away just $14,940 in cash. but that is not what you would hear from the telemarketers hired by the cancer fund of america run by james reynolds sr. >> okay. how much of my $10 will go to -- who is this to? >> cancer fund of america services -- >> 100. >> okay. >> of your donation goes in to the fund where we purchase medical equipment and we supply over 600 hospice offices with medical supplies all over the
5:21 pm
united states. >> but how much of my $10 will -- >> it goes 100% toward the charity itself. i'm calling directly from the charity and not a telemarketing agency. >> that's get them. >> reporter: according to the iowa attorney general's office those phone call statements are one great big lie. the callers were telemarketers being paid to make the call. the state of iowa fined the telemarketing company $35,000 for making false representations. as for donations to other charities, the cancer fund of america claimed on the 2011 tax filings sent $761,000 in so-called gifts in kind, not actually cash, to churches, some hospitals and other programs around the country. when we called or e-mailed those other charities to check, many of them said they did get something. things like these supplies.
5:22 pm
but several of the groups told us they never heard of the cancer fund of america. or don't remember getting a thing. the cancer fund also takes credit for serving as a middleman, brokering transfer of another $16 million worth of gifts in kind to individuals and other charities, many of them overseays. those contributions double up both as revenue and donations on the same tax forms. back at the cancer fund of america's corporate office, even the chief financial officer who by the way has a salary of $121,000 couldn't explain what was happening. we have all the -- north mississippi medical center. never heard of you. yolando marco oncology institute, nothing. >> that's within of the ones we looked up but again you have to talk to him. >> reporter: the him is james reynolds sr., the founder that told us in an e-mail his board thought it unwise to talk to
5:23 pm
cnn. even though in a different e-mail he called the news of phantom donations, quote, most disturbing. as for his son, james reynold jr. and charity in arizona -- >> how are you? >> the camera needs to stay outside. >> can you stay right there? >> is mr. reynolds here? >> he's not in. >> reporter: the public relat n relations officer who by the way is married to james reynolds jr. sent u.s e-mails saying the guiding situation to provide relief to those who suffer from the affects of breast cancer and that we have made a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of men and women. but declined our request for an on-camera interview. and when our camera found james reynolds jr., he made sure we got the message. with a single-fingered salute. drew griffin, cnn, knoxville, tennessee. >> and cancer fund of america

5:37 pm
project. the u.s. state department estimates 27 million people are victims of human trafficking around the world. that's like the whole population of new york city times three. well, if you think it's not happening in the u.s., think again. even something as hideous as child sex trafficking happens in this country every day. i'm joined now by new york assembly woman amy pollen who wants to change that with a proposed law in new york. i'm also joined by 17-year-old survivor who was kidnapped and forced in to sex slavery in new york when she was 9 and protecting her identity and called her brianna for this story. so glad you could be with us. amy, let me begin with you. you're expecting a vote on your bill this week. if it passes, what are you hoping it would do? >> we hope that this would do two things. the first is to stiffen the penalties. we recognize that sex
5:38 pm
trafficking means that a young girl would be subjected to rape over and over again. it needs to be a violent felony. and so, we hope that if we pass this bill, we would be stiffening the penalties to make sure that it's violent b-felony. the second thing and equally important is that, you know, these are young girls. these are children. we need to treat them like children. we need to make sure that when they're brought in to court, typically arrested for prostitution, that they're recognized as children. and they are converted to a person in need of supervision and a decriminalized act and they get services. so those are the two key provisions that we hope to enact in to law this week. >> so, in many cases, some of these young ladies initially arrested for prostitution and it is your hope and let me understand this, bringian that's hope, as well, these young
5:39 pm
ladies, these children really are victims and that they are treated as such. and brianna, you were just 13 if i got that correct when you managed to break free from the sex trafficking but your journey began at a very young age at the age of 9. how did you get out? what made the difference to help you break free from sex trafficking? >> well, when it happened to me, i didn't necessarily break free. it was more so that the cops found me. they broke in the closet i was locked in and arrested me on prostitution charges. >> and because of that, initially you did have to face prostitution charges but how did you turn things around or let them know that you were a victim, this was not something you elected to do but something in which you were rather entrapped to do? >> well, i gave them most of the
5:40 pm
evidence that i could, mainly phones that we were using or anything that they found in the house, clothes or video or eyewitness accounts and things of that nature. eventually they caught this person and found out what was actually going on. >> so in your view, if this bill is passed and it becomes new york law, how do you suppose it will protect anyone else, make sure that what happened to you does not happen to any other young person? >> well, my main hope is that if this bill is passed it helps girls not necessarily be criminalized the way i was the first time i got arrested but treat them as victims because that's what they actually are. so that's my main goal with it. >> amy, this is a state bill but are you hoping this is something that will have much greater reach, nationally, globally? >> well, we passed the first sex trafficking law in 2007 in new
5:41 pm
york. since then, many states have done the same and -- but it's time that new york again becomes the leader, takes it a step forward. we have learned a lot. been prosecutions since then. we need to improve the law and be the leader so that other states that this is happening, where this is happening, they also take the initiative an they improve their laws, as well. >> amy paulin, thanks. brianna, as well. thank you for sharing your point of view on this. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> to learn more about cnn's freedom project and what you can do, check out the website cnn.com/freedom. you can also get more information on the facebook page there. all right. they aren't married. they aren't in love. but they wanted to be parents together. friends with kids. we'll look at a new type of modern family.
