i know you want more, but that's it for today's edition of "new day." thanks for joining us. cnn newsroom with carol costello begins right now. han handm handsomeness. >> i have been keeping a secret for a long time. say carol, take it away. >> okay, guys. happening now in "newsroom" -- inteferno in the west. the resort town dangerously close to the flames. plus, a lightning rod at a-rod. a direct hit or was it revenge? this morning a-rod's lawyers come out swinging. and hours slashed, benefits cut. outrage this morning at forever

"newsroom" starts now. good morning, thank you so much for joining me. i'm carol costello reporting from washington, d.c. this morning. this hour new outrage echoing across the pond. involves the man your left. his name is david miranda and the partner to the man next to him. greenwald. broke the story of edward snowden, the american contractor. greenwald's newspaper, "the guardian" says british security detained miranda for nearly nine hours yesterday as he tried to make a connecting flight through

heathrow's airport. it was meant to bully and harass. he writes "bad enough to prosecute and imprison sources." journalists who report the truth. but to start detaining the family members and loved ones of journalists is simply despotic. good morning, ateaka. >> here's that headline in the guardian. they put it on their front page. understandably, very upset about this detention. and brazilian diplomats have expressed their outrage and even british politicians are saying that this is an abuse of the law. now, basically, david miranda was held for nine hours under schedule seven of the terrorism act here and that allows british police to detain and interrogate anyone passing through british borders. but no explanation as to why miranda was held for nine hours and interrogated only about

edward snowden and documents he leaked. no terror-related questions. so, this is why glen greenwald is understandably upset. as you say, he calls it intimidation amnesty international coming out saying it was an abuse of the law here in britain. causing a number of controversies out here. but whether or not that will result in any action, we're waiting to see. >> atika reporting live from london. extreme weather in idaho. wildfires racing across sun valley. some 5,000 homes are in the potential path and that includes homes of the rich and famous. tom hanks and some ski resorts are bringing out their snowmaking machines and gain an edge against the advancing fire. >> we had support from the ski area.

they have some very high-capacity pumps at the top of the ski area. so, we're protecting the power supply for those pumps because if the fire does approach there, we're going to be relying on those. now to the soggy south. this church goers had quite the big surprise. they walked out of sunday services only to discover waist deep flood waters had stranded them. can you imagine? flash flood watches dot the region record rainfalls have saturated the ground and the threat of more heavy rain looms. cnn meteorologist indra petersons joins us live from new york. good morning. >> you getting familiar with this at all carol? >> i'm getting tired of it. >> i don't blame you whatsoever. july setting more records and now august and take a look, this is a water vapor. from the last three days, we look at the moisture from the yucatan peninsula feeding into is the southeast. day after day. record-breaking rain. we are talking 20 to 30 inches of rain since june in the

southeast. all thanks to a stationary front still in place and that combining with the tropical moisture and, yes, more rain in the forecast. let's talk about how far above anchg you are. look at this, 15 inches above average. we're talking 10 inches. i know it was rough, 10 inches in panama city and 14 in pensacola. no where for that rain to go. we have flash flood watches and warnings still in effect in the area. more rain in the forecast. two to five as we go through the middle of the week. >> continue napping in the afternoon. indra petersons, thanks so much. tuesday should be one interesting day in san diego. when the embattled mayor bob filner, is expected to return to work. he may find that difficult as a new effort to remove him from office. he stood firm in his refusal to resign despite 16 women coming forward of accusations of

inappropriate behavior. organizers used a march across the city to start collecting the more than 1,001 signatures needed to force a recall election. opponents say they'll be everywhere to gather support. >> we will work every hour, every day until you step down from office. >> just a couple hours i was able, myself, personally, to get over 100 signatures. we are going to be everywhere at city events, street fairs, you name it, we'll be out there. >> you can't even look into the sky without seeing a message for filner to resign. a sky writer wrote surrender bob in three locations against san diego. the crisis in egypt hitting your wallet with tensions remaining high between the interim government and supporters of the deposed government, there are fears that oil shipments could be disrupted and that is spiking oil prices. christine romans is following this side of the story. good morning, christine. >> good morning.

of course, the human cost and the human tragedy on the ground in cairo is what is really important. but when you look at how that plays out in global markets, you can see unease of what's happening there. price of oil above $107 a barrel. the reason it's going up, egypt is not a huge producer of oil. number 28 in the world but it's the transport hub and the suez canal cuts 6,000 miles off a shipment to europe and that's something incredibly important. 7% of shipped oil flows through the suez cananacanal. analysts say if it spreads it would spark fear that you would see oil shipments curtailed. as of right now, a contained crisis within egypt and analysts don't expect prices to move too much higher from here. watching very carefully. suez canal closed 38 years.

so it behooves the government or whoever is in control in egypt to make sure that that oil keeps flowing, no question. but you could see, what had been gas prices coming down, if oil prices stay high, you could see that trend start to stabilize. >> and when people talk about that $1.3 billion in aid, we send over to egypt for its military and now we know why it's pretty complicated to cut that off a, right? >> yep. you're absolutely right, carol. something that really bears watching. >> christine romans, thanks. it is getting increasingly ugly for a-rod on the field. yeah, we know many fans don't much like him, especially in boston. oh, yeah. but rodriguez's fellow ball players don't appear to be his fans either. ryan dempster hit rodriguez with a pitch on purpose?

well, you know what's going on. andy scholls from bleacher is here to tell us more. >> multiple players are on record saying they are not happy a-rod is playing right now when he allegedly cheated the game for so many years. ryan dempster one of those players and clearly going after a-rod last night. very first pitch from him went behind a-rod and then three pitches later, he succeeded in hitting a-rod with the pitch. a-rod said of getting hit by the pitch from dempster, like me or hate me, definitely the wrong thing to do. dempster meanwhile saying, i was just trying to pitch inside. funny how he didn't hit anyone else during the game. now, this is the second time a-rod has been hit this season, but a-rod not concerned about this going forward. here's what he had to say after the game. >> that today kind of brought us together and joe's reaction was amazing. every single one of my teammates came up it me and said, hit a

bomb and walk it off. that's just not right. >> do you think should be suspended? >> i'm the wrong guy to be asked about suspensions. >> a-rod laughing and joking in the locker room after the game, he's created an atmosphere unlike any other and makes it so tense that people just can't even be themselves. very interesting times in the new york yankees clubhouse. >> very interesting way to put it. because in light of all of this, a-rod is fighting with the ownership of the yankees, right, because he claims the yankees purposely covered up health reports about him to push him out of the game so they wouldn't have to pay him. >> he's claiming they mismanaged his medical situation last season in the playoffs saying he was fit to play, even though he wasn't and the yankees deny those accusations and basically calling a-rod a liar. >> i'm sure his teammates really, really love him. we'll see. thanks so much.

going to close properly. i had practice with that, once before. >> your decision to drive off. i remember that moment, as well. that was the most nerve racking thing. having my family in the car. >> i'm as independent as i want to be and same as catherine and harry. we have all grown up differently to other generations and i very much feel if i can do it myself, i want to do it myself and there are times you don't want to do it yourself and the system takes over. to do things differently. but i think driving your son and your wife away from the hospital was really important to me and i don't like -- >> you didn't stop. >> it's automatic, it's all right. >> the interpretation of the imagery we saw there around the world was this was a modern

monarchy. was that reading too much into it. you and your wife doing it your own way? >> i think so. i'm doing the way i know. if the right way, brilliant. if it's the wrong way, i'll try better. but i'm reasonably head strong about what i believe in and what i go for and i have fantastic people around me who give me great support and advice. >> the prince says baby george is already quite a character. >> well, yeah. he's a little bit of a rascal. we'll put it that way. he either reminds me of my brother or me when i was younger. i'm not sure. he's doing very well at the moment. >> did you do the first nappy? >> i did. >> badge of honor. >> i wasn't allowed to get away with that. i had every midwife staring at me doing it saying you do it. he's quite a fighter. wiggles around a little bit. >> up at night? >> not as much as catherine, but

an emotional day for oscar pistorius and for the family of his victim, the alleged victim. the double amputee sprinter has been charged with planned and premeditated murder in the death of his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. today's indictment comes on what would have been steenkamp's 30

uth birthday. cnn's robin is in the courtroom for today's indictment. she has more from south africa. good morning, robin. >> hi, there, good morning. kind of emotional day in court. it wasn't a long court appearance from oscar pistorius, but he did have to wait quite a while before the judge sat down and he was faced with a barrage of cameras and turned his back to them and that's when we saw him crying and praying and holding hands with his two siblings standing behind him. now, in terms of the indictment that was physically handed to him in the court it says, you know, he's going to be facing premeditated murder charges. now this, of course, is the most severest charge that can be brought against him and particular implications for sentencing because at the minimum sentence can only be 25 years, which is life in south african law. but what is interesting about

this indictment. i've been pouring over it with some lawyers and they say on one hand the state is going for this premeditated planned murder charge. but on page 2, they also have the sort of fall back where they say, even if they can't prove he has, it was premeditated and planned, he still intended to kill somebody, even if it was an intruder. so, what you're seeing is a case, the state's case. literally various levels of the way they're going to try to deal with this and they sort of got basically three or four fallbacks. an interesting case in just how far the state pushes this and crucially whether there is really any evidence with the forensics back up this premeditated murder charge. >> i'm just stunned by the number of witnesses they plan to call. 100 witnesses plus. >> absolutely. and this is in addition to the lawyers are telling me, listen,

tenuous pushing for a premeditated murder charge. but then you have a look at the witness list. more than 100 witnesses to be called and a number of lawyers say this is extraordinary. two of them have said to me, it looks like they're clutching at straws. so, the question is, are they trying to bring all these witnesses to prove some sort of circumstantial evidence trying to paint pistorius as trigger happy rather than relying on the facts or the forensics which, perhaps, by the indication of the number of witnesses being brought aren't as strong as the state initially made out to be in that bail hearing. so, you know, the lawyers i have been speaking to say, on one hand, this looks like there's a strong case against him on the other hand are they just pushing their luck? >> i guess we'll see. robin reporting live from south africa this morning. still to come in "newsroom" fashion retailer forever 21 under fire for slashing hours and making hundreds of full-time

"newsroom" starts now.

good morning. thank you very much for being with me. i'm carol costello reporting from washington, d.c., this morning. for weeks now, embattled san diego mayor bob filner has escaped the public spotlight, but that could change tomorrow. on tuesday filner is expected to return to work at city hall. will be his first day back since completing intense behavior therapy as more women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment. >> bob must go! bob must go! >> filner may not be on the job long. on sunday, organizers began the task of collecting more than 101,000 signatures. if they accomplish that, they can force a recall election. >> we will work every hour, every day until you step down from office! >> we're going to be at sporting events, street fairs, art shows. you name it, we will be out

there. >> kyung lah joins us now. i guess it will be a big day tomorrow. do you really think he'll return? i mean, i'm talking about the mayor here. >> reporter: it's hard to tell. our city sources say he is expected back to work tomorrow. but filner's last public statement was that he'd be back at work today. the expectation, according to people inside city hall, is that he won't show up until tomorrow. but carol, this story has changed every single day. the same breath that they say, oh, he'll probably be back tomorrow, they say, we can't predict this guy. we don't know when he's going to return, carol. >> we know the anti-filner side has been quite vocal. and i might quite vocal. today we'll hear from those who support the mayor. how many of them are there in san diego? >> reporter: yeah. well, they do exist. and they are a little hard to find. i haven't run into them in the last two weeks that i've been basically living in san diego. i can tell you that there was one other pro-filner support rally. this was last month. there were a few dozen people

there. what we're expecting this time is -- we just don't know. we don't know how many are still willing to show up in public in support of this embattled mayor. i can tell you he does have a stronghold of support. minority groups as well as labor unions are still throwing their support behind filner, quiet though they may be, carol. >> so it will be interesting to see whether mayor filner shows up at the public support rallies. who knows? stranger thing have happened. right now we still don't know where the mayor is, right? >> reporter: you know what, i don't know. there have been some reports -- i spoke it a source at city hall in san diego city hall who said there have been some sightings of the mayor at his downtown san diego highrise apartment. some. we actually saw the mayor's suv at city hall, but he wasn't there. so people have been chasing this suv all over the city. i've been chasing the chief of staff all over the staff. she won't speak to us. the mayor's office has been incredibly silent. they won't pick up the phone

anymore and return phone calls. we don't know where he is. and we simply cannot predict when he'll show up. what's important here to note, carol, is he is what's called a strong mayor. he has an incredible amount of power in san diego, the nation's eighth largest city. they say, you know, the city attorney says, hey, trying to get rid of the mayor of san diego is more difficult than trying to get rid of the president of the united states. >> yeah. they need, what, 101,000 signatures just to get a recall petition. just incredible. we're going to talk about that later. kyung lah, thank you very much. coming up in a half-hour, i am going to talk to san diego city councilman scott sherman. he's already called for filner to resign. we'll find out what the city will plan to do next to get the mayor out of your office. that's at 10:30 eastern. we're also keeping a close eye on the massive wildfire rolling across idaho's sun valley. the numbers are staggering. 100,000 acres already burned. some 5,000 homes are in the potential path, and that

includes pricey spreads of the rich and famous. actors tom hanks and bruce willis both have homes there. cnn's dan simon is in haley, idaho, with more for us. good morning, dan. >> reporter: good morning, carol. we are at the base camp. this is a pretty vast operation. we've got 1,200 firefighters battling this blaze. and we're told by officials that there is a potential for this fire to get even worse. as you said, 100,000 acres. as always is the case with wildfires, wind is such an important factor. but crews are optimistic that they might get help from mother nature today. in terms of the fire-fighting effort, 1,200 firefighters, a lot of aircraft. you got the dc-10 dropping fire retardant. you got helicopters dropping water. hopefully that will make a difference, as you said, this is an affluent area where many celebrities have homes. obviously they want to do the best they can to protect some of these large homes. at this point, we should tell you that the damage actually has been fairly minimal, just a few

outbuildings basically that have burned down. the people feeling the brunt seem to be the local businesses. obviously this is a tourist area, and a lot of the tourist have taken off. the local merchants definitely taking a big hit. carol? >> wow. dan simon reporting live from haley, idaho. now let's head to the soggy south where flood watch flood watches doubt the region -- flash flood watches dot the region. the threat of more heavy rain looms. we have more on what could be another miserable day. >> reporter: heavy rain and high winds battered much of the southeast this weekend bringing flash floods and record rainfall. check out what members of one church in gulfport saw after their sunday service. waist-deep water covering their car doors. a foot of rain fell in less than an hour. and business owners along highway 49 found water rushing into their stores. >> fire trucks are out there. got to be pretty bad. >> it didn't even get that heavy during katrina.

katrina didn't have that much water. >> reporter: these stranded motorists in biloxi, mississippi, were caught offguard by the rising waters. the fire department rushed to help dozens of stalled cars. a large swath of tropical moisture has drenched much of the region from the gulf coast to the carolinas. in miami beach, an elderly couple was killed while swimming on sunday. >> they were in cardiac arrest when fire rescue arrived. we worked them all the way to the hospital, mt. sinai, where they have been pronounced dead. >> reporter: they weren't alone. miami beach ocean rescue came to the aid of at least 50 swimmers caught in the rough surf. there we go. we're looking at the stream of moisture. we continually talk it it. you see that is friday, saturday, even sunday. the stream of moisture. it's that tropical moisture that combined with the station after front into the south. with that, you continue to see the heavy rainfall. we saw even ten inches of rain in places over the weekend. now we're going to be adding to that. i know it's tough news to hear. one to three inches possible in tallahassee today.

same thing even all the way up into the carolinas. still dealing with the heavy rain and the flash flood watches. still in effect. >> i wanted you to say something positive at the end. i was waiting, but it didn't come. >> i wish. maybe you'd like me more. >> i know. right now not -- right now, not. coming up, oscar pistorius indicted today in a south african courtroom with members of his family and friends of reeva steenkamp watching. pistorius maintains he mistook steenkamp for a home invader when he shot her. today would have been steenkamp's 30th birthday. if found guilty, pistorius could face at least 25 years behind bars. london police weighing the credibility of an allegation that british commandos murdered princess diana. they're quick to stress the paris car crash investigation has not been reopened formally

>> best munchy food, man. >> delicious! so good. >> mary jane -- >> reporter: it's called "operation orange fingers." >> the seattle cops are pretty cool. >> reporter: some call it a publicity stunt. >> enjoy. >> reporter: police say the stickers on the bag are a quick guide of the dos and don'ts of the law. >> we want people to take their product and use it in the privacy of their own residence and not on the street corners, not in the parks. >> reporter: and thus creates an environment where they're free to do what's typically frowned upon. in such a colorful crowd, mike and barbara hughes seem to stick out. >> we got in the wrong line. we're here anyway. >> reporter: there's nothing like this back home in virginia. >> we're a little more conservative there. >> reporter: but for how long? the focus is now on nationwide legalization. >> a lot of economic growth. there will be a lot of positive potential for our government to take in some money.

♪ >> reminds me a little of our era, the '60s. so maybe history's repeating itself in some way. >> reporter: as for dealing doritos with information, given the audience, not everyone may digest it. >> the trip for cheese. >> thanks to affiliate king in seattle for that report. thanks, dude. still to come -- i couldn't help it. governor chris christie signing a through outlaw gay conversion therapy in his state. some argue he's going too far. details for you next.

checking our top stories at 13 minutes past the hour. reporter glen greenwald, the man on the right, says he will now focus his attention on the spy system in england. he made the vow after his partner on the left was detained

for nine hours at london's heathrow airport. greenwald says the detention was payback for exposing washington's secret surveillance program through intel leaker edward snowden. a judge could announce bradley manning's sentence as early as today. the former army intelligence analyst faces up to 90 years in prison for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to wikileaks. in a court document last week, the judge called manning's conduct wanton and reckless. this picture created quite the buzz. two female russian track stars shared a kiss on the podium after their relay team won an event at the world athletic championships in moscow. the runners did not publicly talk about the kiss, but it may be a protest against russia's new anti-gay law. now let's head to new jersey which this hour will become the second state in the country to ban gay conversion therapy for minors. the controversial practice is opposed by major medical groups. and some former patients say it could make them feel like failures.

>> put me in this place of being uncomfortable with who i am. every morning go to school and say i'm not going to be me today, that then destroys other areas of my life like academics, family, friends. >> but the promoters of the practice believe the therapy does work. and banning it infringes on their rights. >> talk therapy is talk therapy. there's no danger in talking. >> poppy harlow is live with much more from new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. we've been following this very closely. earlier this summer, both the house and senate in new jersey passed this bill. it's been sitting on christie's desk for quite a while. cnn has learned that later today the governor of new jersey will sign this bill into law. as you mentioned, gay conversion therapy, therapy to turn someone from being gay to straight, is highly controversial. the american medical

association, american psychiatric association, and the world health organization have come out opposing it. this was a fine line for governor christie to walk. as a centrist republican he's said publy he's wary of telling -- publicly he's wary of telling parents how to raise their children and the government interfering in how parents do raise their children, but i want to read you part of what the governor is expected today to say in his signing statement. and he writes in part, "the american psychological association has found that efforts to change sexual orientation can pose critical health risks including but not limited to depression, substance abuse, social withdrawal, decreased self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts." he went on to say, "i believe that exposes children to these health risks route clear evidence of benefits that outweigh these serious risks is not appropriate." that is what we will hear from the governor later today. we reached out to the parents

and friends of ex-gays. they e-mailed us saying in part it's going to hurt parents, it's going to hurt young people who are going to be denied the right to get the therapy that they choose. >> interesting because, of course, chris christie is a republican, right. many conservatives believe in this conversion therapy. >> reporter: right. >> also, on another night, this bans licensed therapy from performing this gay conversion therapy on minors. >> reporter: right. >> what about religious institutions? >> reporter: that's a great question. this only applies to licensed therapists. churches, for example, that would like to practice this, talk to youth about this, they can do that. anyone that is not a licensed therapist in new jersey can do this. you know, one of the people that i talked to who's a therapist in new jersey who says gay conversion therapy made me straight, that's what she told me, and she practices it, she said this is just going to drive the practice underground. this is going to mean that people that aren't licensed professionals will be administering, if you will, this

therapy. that is going to hurt patients. so that's the counterargument to this. you know, this is a very big step. governor chris christie's always in the spotlight. and new jersey's only the second state after california to pass a ban lake this. and there is a counter-lawsuit against that in california now. it's upheld in the appellate court. this is really a milestone, i think. and what's going to be interesting is if christie speaks publicly about it later today. >> i know you'll be there. poppy harlow live in new york. still to come, new concerns about the safety of teens playing football. one expert says contact drills are harder on high schoolers than on the pros. i'm beth...

questions about the safety of the sport especially for teens. in california, 14-year-old mitchell cook died, collapsing on the field after warmups during practice. he reportedly had a heart condition not believed to be life threatening. and in north carolina and utah, two teens also died after collapsing following morning practices. >> the game can be practiced so many ways effectively without full contact during the week. >> reporter: terry o'neil, an advocate for safer fab practices, says high school players are using techniques that are harder on their bodies than those used by nfl players. >> these players are playing four or five full-speed, full-contact games a week. and nobody can survive that over the long term. the history is that it's rare that one catastrophic blow would cause death. >> reporter: terman's coaches and teammates say the season must go on, and that's how deantre would have wanted it. a 2012 study by the catastrophic

there. >> bob filner shows up at work tomorrow, gets into the office where the locks have been changed. then what happens? >> well, that's the big, you know, the $64 million question right there. he can't be alone with women at this point. he can't be trusted really to do anything at city hall. he has no confidence of any sitting council member. i mean, it's a 9-0 majority who don't want him to be our mayor. he's got a recall and department of justice and fbi all looking into things. so his effectiveness as a mayor is pretty much done. it's just trying to actually get him out of there. i mean, bob's always worried about his mark that he's going to leave on san diego. at this point it looks like it's going to be fingernail marks on top of his desk as we drag him out of there. >> okay. let's talk about the effort to get him out of office. it's incredibly difficult in san diego. so those wanting him out of office, they have to gather 101,000 signatures. why so many? >> it's a 15% of the amount of

people who voted in the last election for mayor. and it's a very short time frame, too. the way the charter's set up, it's 39 days to gather that amount of signatures which is an astronomical effort. >> and then the signatures have to be validated, right? >> right. right. there's a provision in the charter that if you're within a certain range of the targeted number, then you get an extension of time to make sure that they're all valid and good to go. yesterday, 1,100 people showed up outside to actually collect petitions and start going out and gathering signatures. and each f each one brings back enough, you know, 100 signatures, we're there. >> okay, so as far as city council is concerned, the best you can do right now is to pass some sort of resolution urging the mayor to leave office. >> yeah. i've drafted that up. it's in writing, ready to be passed out to the rest of the council members to have them look at it. then we'll be taking a vote on it. there's also a section in the charter, section 108, that deals

with removal of an officer from office. now that there's a strong mayor, the mayor is technically the chief -- ceo of the city. he is an officer, and this does pertain to him. if they knowingly misuse city treasury funds, they can be removed from office judicially. and we're going to be looking at that, too. >> all right. we'll be following the story. i can't wait to see what happens tomorrow, frankly. san diego city councilman scott sherman, thank you very much. >> no, thank you for having me. >> thanks. before we move on, an invitation for mayor filner. i would love it hear your side of the story. we've reached out by e-mail and phone and on air. i would love you -- would love to have you in the newsroom or on camera. i'll even fly to san diego. the invite is there. the ball's in your court. still to come in the "newsroom," prince william like you've never seen him. the future king opening up to cnn about parenthood for the first time since the birth of george. how do you do a summer clearance event the dodge way?

nothings in his ear, have toys around the room and cover them in bushes, make him grow up as if he's in the bush. >> reporter: he says the possibility of his son carrying on the royal family's legacy in africa isn't his immediate concern. >> at the moment the only legacy i want to pass on is to sleep more and maybe not change his nappy quite so many times. >> reporter: like any new mother or father, parenthood has surprised and amazed prince william. >> i think the last few weeks for me have been just a very different emotional experience. something i never thought i would feel myself. and i find again it's only been a short period, but a lot of things affect me differently now. >> cnn royal correspondent max foster joins me live in new york. so max, i want to know what happened behind the scenes. i mean, were there a lot of security people around prince william? he's dressed in jeans, he looks so casual. it couldn't have been all that casual. >> reporter: it was a build of a build-up. it didn't happen overnight.

i sort of -- was bidding on this interview for a couple of years. i turned up at the palace. almost as if we bumped into each other. we went into the room at the same time. and he was, you know, just in a polo shirt. we walked past his cottage that he has into his garden. and it was very relaxed. before i knew, it we were just chatting. in the end i didn't use notes. we just had a conversation. and he was -- he was very relaxed. i mean, he was at that point, you know, first couple of weeks of fatherhood where he was grappling with it, elated. absolutely exhausted because he's getting up along with kate. he was just -- really great place, i think. >> oh, a terrific interview. i can't wait to hear more. max foster reporting live for us. by the way, max' interview is part of a documentary.

legs by the eight-foot-long shark was taken to the hospital. his condition is unknown. take a look at what happened during warmups before the colts/giants preseason game. uh! poor pam oliver. she was hit in the face by a pass. oliver took it in stride. i would expect nothing less because she is one tough woman. aw. look. they hugged each other. she smiled then. of course, that was the colts' chandler harnish hugging her and apologizing for the throw. former marine steven rose is following a dream of playing football at middle tennessee state. the ncaa told rose he can't get on the field this season. senior citizen has the story next hour. ashleigh banfield from new york. >> i'm still wincing over the pam oliver shot. i can't believe the picture you showed. has been -- she was amazing that she resumed her composure.

>> i would have been embarrassed if she started crying. >> there's no crying in football, right? speaking of that, you probably heard this -- first of all, i had never heard of ncaa bylaw 14.2.3.2.1, carol, i don't know if you or anybody else had. you'll hear a lot about it today. it is keeping a hero, a former marine, once a marine always a marine, so i will say a current marine and a man who served his country, it's making him sit on the sidelines. and you won't believe the kind of football he actually played while on base as a marine. it sounds like it's a messy situation. one that needs some serious rectifying. can it be done in time for this hero? we'll talk all about it. i know you're such a sports fan, you'll love that story. >> i can't wait to watch it because, boy, that decision made me mad. >> i know, right? >> ridiculous. >> former troops, give them everything they need, come on. >> exactly. thank you. can't wait. still to come in the "newsroom," from campus life to cold, hard reality.

lindsay lohan making headlines once again. this time it's for sitting down for a one-on-one interview with

oprah. just four days after her latest rehab stint. during this very candid interview, lohan admitted she is an addict and that her 2010 jail sentence was critical for her recovery. >> you know, being in my addiction and everything and having all the chaos around me that i was so comfortable with, i somewhere inside knew and kind of wanted to go to jail. >> wynfrey's network own is working with the actress on an eight-part documentary that will chronicle her recovery efforts that will air next year. back after this.

four years of hitting the books, and, be honest, probably hitting parties along the way. when it's said and done, what are today's grads ending up with? a degree and debt -- lots of it. for students at a public college, it comes out to about $23,000. if you're enrolled at a private college, the debt jumps to nearly $30,000. nynex guest says the -- my next guest says the pressure is forcing some to do the unthinkable including turning to crime. matt taibbi, contributing editor to "rolling stone," whose arlington "the college loan scandal" appears in the latest issue. and cnn's host of "your money," christine romans. good morning. matt, i want to start with you.

there was a lot made of the bipartisan student loan deal. but you say that's missing a much bigger and more important issue. explain. >> well, the bipartisan loan deal was entirely about student loan interest rates which would have doubled this summer if they hadn't come to a compromise. but when i talked to people in the industry, everybody said the important thing isn't the interest rate, it's the principal. the principal is the cost of college which has been skyrocketing, soaring at rates three times as fast as inflation or consumer prices for almost two decades now. that's the real scandal. why is college so expensive, and that's the real mystery. >> okay. and you also write in part, "our university tuition system really is exploitive and unfair, designed to benefit two major actors. first in line, the college and university. next up is the government itself." tough words. >> right. yeah. the government is projecting that it's going to make a $185

billion profit on the student loan program over the next ten years. so it's really, you know, as one i talked to put it, it's a hidden tax on lower and middle income student who of course don't have a powerful lobby on wall street. and the other beneficiaries, of course, are the contractors and the university administrators who are -- are the primary beneficiaries of all this public money that is going out into schools. they get to build their olympic swimming pools and hanging garden and dormitories. and all of that largess, it's like military contracting fraud. it's just sort of coming from this endless stream of -- of government money. >> and christine, why aren't we talking more about how much it costs to get a degree these days instead of just lowering interest rates on loans? >> i think we are. there was a recent study that showed almost half, almost half of families who make $100,000 or more are having kids stay home and live at home while they go

to college to keep costs down. fraems starting to acts differently -- families are starting to act differently because they can't keep chasing money after the borrowed tuition. borrowed money after tuition -- you can keep flooding the economy with cheap interest rates and pell grants and other kinds of grants that, by the way, do make it more accessible for everyone to go to college, but that just keeps driving up tuition rates or keeps going with these rising tuition rates. families, families can't keep going on like this. i mean, and that's the bottom line. and they're starting to change their behavior. they're also starting to state schools and community colleges because they can't afford the more expensive schools. a good thing because -- >> it puts pressures on universities to lower costs. matt, consumers are in part to blame, too. you talk about the posh gyms and things. parents seem to want that for their kids. >> yeah, but it's kind of a conundrum, a catch 22 because even though consumers are "making a mistake" by going

after college educations that may or may not produce viable jobs in the future, there are also studies that show without a college degree, you can't even get the most menial job. you can't work as a clerk at a law firm. you can't work as a cargo agent. so you have to go to college if you want any kind of decent job except -- >> you don't have to to go to a college that costs $50,000 a year, right christine? >> no, and you don't have to take five years, you don't have to pick a major that there's no market for. i get grief from parents who say, look, i don't want to kill my kid's dream. i want my kid to get a degree. i want my kid to do what he likes to do. you have to find what you like it do, what you can pay for, and what the economy will pay you to do. a lot of families aren't saving money because they can't. but that doesn't mean if you're not saving money that you can go someplace that will pay $50,000 a year. a cheap or federally subsidized college education, it's n a guaranteed thing. you still have to save or figure out how to make it work for your family. >> right. okay. i wish i could go on with this
