sleeves is a hit at fashion week. they are staging a show. you can now get it in leopard. you can get your team colors. you can get one for your dog at home. megyn: yay for the snuggie. have a great weekend. we will see you monday, everybody. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- jon: in bloomingdale, illinoise, -- illinois, a suspected bank robbery by a man who disarmed security guards, took their weapons, and escapes into the rolling meadows. this is all happening in
11:01 am
bloomingdale, ill. there are reports that the suspect was seen in the area. obviously, he is considered armed and extremely dangerous. if you see anything, police want to hear from you. he broke out the other day. how he pulled this off is still being investigated. it is believed that he carjacked a woman yesterday, so he apparently has a vehicle, as well as guns, and now he has cash. once again, and armed escapee's suspected -- an armed escapee suspected of robbing a bank in bloomingdale, ill. jane: more on the yale murder
11:02 am
case. as raymond clark sits in a cell, authorities are looking at a second suspect in the killing of graduate students annie le -- graduate student annie le. jon: cadaver dogs picking up a cent at the home of phillip garrido, who held jaycee dugard captive. we will hear about it. jane: there are reports that najibullah zazi had contact with al qaeda and that information on how to make a bomb was found on his computer. his attorney says that is not true. authorities searched three apartments in new york city where he had stayed on a recent video -- visits. they have also looked in colorado. a bomb shell report is shaking the foundation of middle east security. according to the report, iran
11:03 am
has the know-how to build a nuclear bomb. the report has been examined by the associated press, and raises more alarm claiming that iran can mount a nuclear warhead. what do we know, jennifer? >> in recent weeks, israel and france have pressed the iaea to release an appendix to the latest board of directors report on the nuclear program. they are saying that the director has not been forthcoming with information, and now, the associated press has gotten a hold of the amex. -- the annex. it says that iran now has the know-how to make a nuclear bomb. we have heard from previous intelligence that that was a
11:04 am
suspicion. but this is from the iaea itself, and that is a significant step forward. it is based on intelligence from an iranian dissident who left with a laptop in 2002 or 2003, shared the information with the united states, and now the iadb -- iaea has confirmed the information on the laptop, and that is what is being shared on this and next -- in the annex. it is stunning about the report is that it is coming out on the same day, yesterday, that the obama administration says it will roll back some of the missile defense sites in europe. so some are saying that this was a carefully-planned week -- leak tended to show the potential danger of what is going on in around -- iran.
11:05 am
intelligence had changed to such a degree that they thought the long-range missiles were not as much of a threat as previously thought. previously, iran tried to put a satellite into orbit, and at some say it is part of a ballistic missile program. and they also tested a two-stage fuel rocket that shows they are trying to make progress with rockets. what is being said has been interpreted in different ways, and this iaea report contradicts some of what we're hearing from the obama administration about the threat. listen to what joe biden said in iraq about what the current administration is doing about the iranian threat. >> i much less concerned about
11:06 am
the iranian potential -- i am much less concerned about the iranian potential to concern -- to strike the united states. >> technically, he is correct. they do not have a long-range icbm that can strike the u.s. but they do intend to move in that direction, and that is what has observers so concerned. jon: another big setback for acorn, the community organizing group. the house has voted to cut their federal funding by an overwhelming margin. all this comes to the wake of a stunning undercover video appearing to show -- all of this comes in the wake of a stunning undercover video appearing to show acorn workers encouraging illegal activity. steve has that story from washington for us. there seems to be a strong
11:07 am
bipartisan groundswell against acorn. what happens next? >> there have been two senate votes and one house vote, and there are more to come. yesterday, the house passed the broadest measure yet, barring acorn from getting funding from any government program. it got support from democrats. only 75 of them voted to continue acorn funding. the bills prohibit acorn from getting housing, transportation, and interior department funding. a third senate bill could be much more broad, shutting them out altogether, just like the house did yesterday. jon: even with these votes, is there still a chance that acorn could get federal money in the future? >> anything could happen, but the chances are looking slim right now. after the video where acorn employees offered to skirt the law to get housing for eight --
11:08 am
for a pretend prostitute and her pimp, chances are not good. president obama has not said whether he would veto any of these bills when they reach his desk. jane: signs are that more american voters want something to be done about health care. take a look at the latest fox news opinion dynamics poll. the number of people supported reform is up four percentage points from august. but 48% oppose any plan that requires insurance to be purchased. molly henneberg is on this today. polls keep indicating that america is not thrilled about the prospect of what the
11:09 am
president is talking about here. >> americans may want reform, but they are not sure they are seeing the reform they want. this was a fox news opinion dynamics poll taken earlier this week, and respondents were asked which system they prefer, the current one, where the proposed system -- the current one or the proposed system. people were also asked, if you were sick, what kind of insurance would you prefer? 62% said they would prefer a privately-run plant. -- privately-run plan. jane: what does it look like for the possibility of a public option? it looks like they are split on it. >> it will be so interesting to watch. you have nancy pelosi saying
11:10 am
that a government-run option will be on the house bill, and she goes on to say she hopes her democratic peers can convince their colleagues in the senate. she hopes that they can persuade them over to their point of view. because the baucus bill does not include a government-run option. it could be that the chambers are split up on that. jane: molly henneberg. thank you. jon: get a look at wall street. up 39 points at the moment. some people are talking about how it is tickling the 10,000 marks. generally is reporting for us from fox business network. -- jenna lee is reporting for us from fox business network. >> we continue to watch the markets this friday. the big story is about the federal reserve. you may have heard that the
11:11 am
higher the risk, the higher the reward. well, one thing that happened in the financial crisis was that the rewards were too high, so investors took excessive risks. what they aim to do now at the fed is to tap into banks and examine the compensation structure. it is not the same as looking at ceo pay. they will step in and look at traders, loan officers, as well as the executive suites. it is to make sure that the pay structures are not promoting excessive risk. it would affect not only us, but the financial system. the fed was given this power in the 1930's, but now they are making it a priority. we expect some announcement over the next few weeks. the big question now is whether big money is the only reason people take big risks, and is
11:12 am
only the banks responsible for these risk on wall street -- is it only the banks for responsible for these risks on wall street? the answer is probably no, and that the fed is going to investigate. -- and the fed will continue to investigate. jane: in chicago, they are on the hunt for a guy who was armed and dangerous when he broke out of custody. now they believe that he has robbed a bank today, the same banks to rob a year ago. also, anti-government protesters in iran are shutting "death to the dictator." (woman) dear cat. your hair mixes with pollen and dust. i get congested. but now with zyrtec-d®,

11:16 am
bloomingdale, ill., where this prisoner escaped yesterday. he is expected just now of robbing the first american bank branch in a shopping mall there in bloomingdale, and carjacking a woman for her volkswagen at gunpoint. now we know that he has got a gun and is on the run. the manhunt continues. we will keep our eyes on it. all schools in the area are now on lockdown. that is the latest headlines. armed and dangerous. back to you guys. jane: we are waiting to hear from investigators in california to share more about the search at phillip garrido's home. they're looking there for evidence in other unsolved abduction cases. queen of that this morning -- we know that this morning, investigators returned to the property, and cadaver dogs got a
11:17 am
hit in the area. they have found bone fragments and are testing them. garrido and his wife have pled not guilty to charges of kidnapping jaycee dugard in 1991, when she was 11. investigators want to note that dugard -- if dugard also kidnapped two other girls and the late-1980's. those girls are still missing. jon: police may be following a second suspect in the yale murder case. according to a report, and raymond clark may have had some help in hiding -- raymond clark may have had some help in hiding annie le's body. le's body, you might remember, was found stuffed in a wall at the research center sunday, the
11:18 am
day that she was supposed to be married. jane: in iran, protesters are ignoring government bans and sticking to the streets in tehran. they were not protesting a holiday commemorating israel. instead, they were protesting the dictator. >> this is a day where protesters are often bused in. it is not spontaneous, generally speaking. but they go out and chant slogans against israel in support of palestine. again, you had marked ahmadinejad -- mahmoud medina job calling the holocaust -- mahmoud ahmadinejad calling the
11:19 am
holocaust a light -- a lie. there were a lot of pro- democracy demonstrators taking advantage of the space provided by government-sponsored demonstration to go out and chant "desk to the dictator." a lot of people were saying things like, please look out for our rights. a lot of people feel that the government spends too much time and money supporting hamas and has blocked -- hezbollah and groups like that. there were tens of thousands of protesters today, if not more. jon: we are getting ominous reports about what might have happened at another bank robbery, this one in the western area of dallas. harris is on it.
11:21 am
gecko: uh, you wanted to see me sir? boss: come on in, i had some other things you can tell people out geico - great claims service and a 97% customer satisfaction rate. show people really trust us. gecko: yeah right, that makes sense. boss: trust is key when talking about geico. you gotta feel it. why don't you and i practice that with a little exercise where i fall backwards and you catch me. gecko: uh no sir, honestly... uh...i don't think...uh... boss: no, no. we can do this. gecko: oh dear. vo: geico. fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. what do you say to a spin around the color wheel? - to paint with primer already mixed in? - ♪ yeah yeah yeah... - test samples instead of can commitments? - ♪ whoo! - what do you say we dip into our wallets less... - ♪ are you feeling it? - ...and grab ahold of the latest tools out there... - ♪ oh! ...so we can quit all that messing around with extra steps - and get busy turning our doing dials up a notch? - ♪ whoo!
11:23 am
>> we want to take enough to dallas, texas, in the western portion of the map -- we want to take you now to dallas, texas, in the western portion of the metro area, where there has been a robbery at a chase bank branch on fort worth avenue. they are now actively looking for a white, older-model honda preludes -- prelude. they are actively looking for the bank robbers who went to this chase bank, where a guard was killed. this is a bad day to work in a
11:24 am
bank. you have the robbery in bloomington, ill., and now we have this one in dallas, texas. chase hit, a guard down. we are monitoring the situation. jon: now to the continuing controversy over abortion in the debate about the health care plan. it is feared that bills in congress could open the door to federally-funded abortions, despite a law prohibiting them an assurance from president obama that federal conscience clauses will remain in place. those clauses allow professionals to refuse to perform abortions. joining me now is raymond burr, from the highest judicial authority in the catholic church. you have taken a hard look at the baucus bill, perhaps the most current of the proposals on the reform plan. you do not like some of what it
11:25 am
contains. >> no, i do not. while the church wants to support the provision of health care for those who are the most needy, we could never accept a mandate on abortion. and this provision of abortion is in the baucus bill. so it certainly is not acceptable. jon: this, despite the pleasant -- this despite the pledges of the president last week where he said that abortion is not in there? let me replace -- replace what he said. >> a misunderstanding i want to clear up. under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to perform -- fund abortions. conscience clauses will be in place.
11:26 am
jon: do you believe him? >> i think we need to look at the words of the baucus bill. what we have to judge will be the case. that bill provides for the provision of abortion, so it is basically unacceptable. jon: you are also concerned about penalties for doctors to spend a lot of money treating patients or require a lot of procedures in treating patients. >> yes. i would be opposed to any kind of health care that would withdraw medical care for the elderly and those were gravely ill -- those who are gravely ill, or from persons with special needs. it is true that these brothers and sisters require a great deal of health care that can be costly, but they have the first title to our care, and it is
11:27 am
simply not acceptable to withdraw health care from those who are in the most need from the point of view of either the burden of years were serious illness -- or serious illness or special needs. jon: the top 10% of doctors providing this excessive care could be penalized. >> it could be a federal introduction into health care and euthanasia. in other words, making a judgment with regard to certain citizens in the matter of their productivity to society, understood in the utilitarianism materialistic -- understood in eight utilitarianism and materialistic cents -- a
11:28 am
utilitarian and materialistic sense. jon: archbishop raymond burke, thank you. jane: we are continuing to watch what is going on in the suburbs of chicago, where there is a manhunt for a man who just robbed a bank. he is on the loose. he is a serial bank robber with crimes dating back to 1987. it looked like this morning, police are telling us he had the same bank he had last year. we will bring geatmagi reen f a.. coatofigf poulida..

11:33 am
five programs. jon: there is outrage in california over a plan to use millions in stimulus money to hire math and literacy coach as -- coaches, but not for students. these coaches would be coaching teachers. we have an associate editor with the "examiner" in us now. -- joing us now. these coaches will not be helping students? >> that is right. wake county received millions in stimulus funds to save or create jobs. what they decided to do with it, rather than hiring more teachers or doing something good for children, was to hire literacy and math coaches or teachers, which does not do exactly what they were hoping to do. it is also important to note that the class sizes between
11:34 am
fourth grade and 12 great work raised -- class sizes between fourth grade and 12th grade were increased, and they have cut teaching jobs. jon: they have been defensive of the spending, saying that the stimulus money is going to run out, so they have to do something that might only last two years. >> right, but let's try and do something that will actually help the students. jon: there are more daily averages to read from do -- outrages to read from the "washington examiner." jane: hugo chubb as is
11:35 am
threatening to earth -- hugo chavez is threatening to shut down at the last private news station. >> there is just one station left that threatens to -- that there is to threaten the president, and it is hanging by a thread. there is one television channel left in venezuela that criticizes the president, and it is no easy place to work. a pro-government gang is attacking global vision, a 24- hour news network. >> it is horrible. we start to cry. >> hugo chavis -- chavez is cracking down on the media. he is now permitted to stay in
11:36 am
power indefinitely. >> we will not tolerate any more. >> 34 radius -- television stations were closed last month. for now, the reporter seem to be the ones taking the beating. some suspect a global vision will remain open, saying that chavez knee sit as an example that the free -- needs it as an example that the free press still exists. but they are getting beaten down. jon: we continue to update you now on the scary situation in bloomingdale, ill., where a guy named maday is believed to be on a loose with weapons. >> we were basing everything on reports, but now our fox affiliate can confirm that police are searching for the
11:37 am
suspect who overpowered two course yesterday -- two guards yesterday at a court room, then today hijacked a car and used it to go to the scene of a bank robber a short time ago. all of this is being confirmed by our fox affiliate. they have a lot of manpower on this one. fbi choppers are joining all of those police choppers in the sky, looking for that volkswagen jeddah -- jetta. they are also looking for a black chrysler 300. this is from the police scanners we have been able to listen in to. i am monitoring the audio. this is bloomingdale, ill., where, again, robert maday overpowered two guards outside
11:38 am
the court room where he was going in for sentencing conviction. it is a good example armed and dangerous right now, as he is suspected of hijacking a volkswagen from a woman at gunpoint a short time ago. we will stay on the story. we do not know what this will turn into. we do know that a lot of resources are being thrown into it. fbi choppers are in the sky looking for this suspect. jon: he was shackled when he disarmed two investigators yesterday and took both of their guns. harris faulkner, thank you. rain in the south, a cool northeast, and above average temperatures in the west are all part of your forecast. janice dean has your forecast. >> no, that is it, jon.
11:39 am
[laughter] you are good, jon scott. jon: i only read what jane puts in front of me. >> you are the best. we have a soaking weekend across the south with a frontal boundary. they will be seen quite a bit of moisture for the foreseeable future. look at what we have got over the last couple of days. in some cases, a foot or more in dallas, arkansas, and coastal louisiana and mississippi. here's the good news. we have had a drought across texas, and with all of the moisture there, we have knocked it back to a lesser level of drought. we are still dealing with drought, but not as intense as we have seen over the past year. we're still watching a low that
11:40 am
continues to hang out over the southern plains. hurricane marty is not expected to hit land, and india atlantic, we do not have major storms -- in the atlantic, no major storms. we also have activity off the coast of alaska that we will monitor over the weekend. jon: janice dean, thank you. jane: we are learning about the buyer for bernie madoff's home. did the federal government get their asking price? jon: nothing comes between this guy and his motorcycle. why he was taking a ride on two wheels with no clothes medicare.

11:44 am
riding his motorcycle naked. there is the video. deputies say that j. dante kraus was seen on i-75 last night, and when pulled over, he could not explain where he was coming from or why he was naked. that is not a good thing. when asked if he had been drinking, he said he had. a breathalyzer test confirmed it, showing a blood alcohol level of 0.08. that is the legal limit to drive in florida. this is his fifth dui. he is out on $50,000 bail. when i had a motorcycle, are used to wear -- i used to wear leather to make sure i did not get road rash. he must be a good biker. jane: jenna will check the dow with us. it is up 26 points. i will not ask you why, but i will ask you about bernie
11:45 am
madoff's beach house. who bought it, and how much did they pay? >> the list price was 8.7 $5 million. it sold after two weeks on the market for far above that, according to some sources. we do not know the exact price or the exact a buyer. the government took over this property because it was a way to pay back some of the victims. the home you are looking at now is 3000 square feet, four bedrooms. it is a good size, but not a huge home by the standards of the hamptons. madoff's apartment in new york city is actually bigger. what makes this home special is that it is a beach front property with panoramic views in every room. right now, you would not be able to build a home with this home is, because it is close to sand dunes. so whoever is buying a home is
11:46 am
buying the lands -- the land. sources in the hamptons say that the home will be torn down, because the area and the location is so good. this is just one asset of many that is for sale right now to get money for madoff's victims. looks pretty good, right? jon: california's budget woes are hitting athletes. cuts in support for college sports are penalizing everyone from colleges to entire teams. what kind of cuts are there so far, adam? >> uc irvine has cut five sports. they cut swimming, diving, rolling, sailing. smaller sports, but across california and the west, we have talked to a number of schools and talked to athletic directors
11:47 am
at all size schools, from division one to division to, and they are having a tough time. they are now putting o -- they're not putting out press packets. they're taking bus rides. it takes away from the competition level, and it is a difficult situation for division 1, division two, and even smaller programs across the west. jon: are the cuts being evenly distributed? >> yes, they are. at long beach, they have about 360 athletes. they used to have football, but they cut it a few years ago. but they have good basketball, baseball, and softball programs here. they say that football is disproportionally cut. everybody thinks about football, but there are other cuts that are a lot smaller affecting a
11:48 am
lot of athletes. when fees go up and they have to cut back on scholarships and other parts of the university, it makes it very difficult for some smaller college sports, affecting thousands of men and women across the country. jon: is this just the tip of the iceberg? >> that is the worry. we called every single college in california, basically, and everyone we talked to said that other than irvine, cut five sports, they would keep sports the way they are now. but they are all worried about what is coming down the pipeline. there's a potential that other small sports could go down with uc irvine's swimming, diving, sailing, and rolling -- rowing programs. so a lot of students and athletic departments are really worried about what could be coming.

this country. she has some experience in the hospital business in chicago. that was her job prior to the campaign. michelle obama, we are keeping and year on it and will continue to listen to that. if you want to catch what her husband has to say, if he is appearing on five network shows this weekend -- he is appearing on five network shows this weekend. he did not find time to appear on fox, but he will appear on five other networks. jane: there is outrage in wisconsin today after they have learned that dna samples from 12,000 convicts did not make it into the facilities today. among them, walter ellis, accused of killing seven women in milwaukee over decades. there are other states with the same problem.
11:54 am
maryland, for example, where thousands of samples of fallon's dna are missing. joining me is a sheriff. however world does this happen -- how in the world does this happen? >> the state of wisconsin department of corrections has two responsibilities. to inform and to protect citizens of the state. and they let them down. this is what you happen when you have an organization, the state department of corrections, that has lax oversight, lax supervision, and no sense of urgency about the important responsibilities that they perform. we interface with the state department of corrections, and we have seen this kind of thing before. i think it is cultural in nature. i think it is institutional. i have called for reform at the
11:55 am
state level of the department of corrections, and that has fallen on deaf ears. but my real average is for the victims. these are victims who might be alive today had this been done correctly, and also the count was victims whose cases have not been solved because the dna was not entered. jane: the district attorney claims to know of cases where he has not charged people because he was told there was no dna on file. and we are told about this victim of the serial killer, where authorities have said her murder might have been prevented if the system works. -- if the system worked. now you have these 12,000 names. do you track them down and ask for samples? >> this will be an uphill climb with a lot of people involved. first, we need legal opinions. some of these people are no longer supervised by
11:56 am
corrections, and we will need a court order or search warrant to get the sample. legal questions have to be answered first. but first we need to get to the death of the problem, pulled back all the layers -- pulled back the layers -- pull back the layers, and go after these individuals. jane: the craziest thing is there was dna for that serial killer on file, but it was not his dna. a fellow prisoner had gone in line. they beat the system. jon: unbelievable. we're waiting for news from the cdc in atlanta updating us on their efforts to battle the h1n1 virus. we're also waiting for an update on the mystery continuing in california at the home of accused rapists and kidnappers

mention is the contra costa county department of public works, who facilitated removing debris from the property to enable us to continue our search. we also have volunteers from the contra costa county search and rescue, as well as a lot of personnel from the alameda county sheriff's office, contra costa county sheriff's department, as well as the fbi. without the cooperation of everyone, including the media, this operation would not have proceeded as smoothly as it has. now i will take some questions. >> [inaudible] >> the next group of dogs that we're bringing in our boehner dogs, specifically. instead of burning them multiple -- instead of bringing them multiple times, we want to do a
12:02 pm
sweep of the entire property. >> [inaudible] >> certain nelson, do you want to address the capabilities of the dogs? >> the previous dogs were to detect human remains. the dogs we bring in today are archaeological dogs, surging from bones -- for bonds. the bones here today could be native american bones, so we want to cross check it. >> [inaudible] >> for the bone that was found? >> [inaudible] >> we do not know how long, but it takes weeks for that kind of analysis. >> [inaudible]
12:03 pm
>> we are not in a holding pattern. there is plenty to do. we are waiting to see if the dogs or technological equipment indicates that we should dig, and then we will take a closer look. >> [inaudible] >> i do not know. >> [inaudible] jane: you are listening to a conference in antioch, calif., where authorities have for several days been searching the backyard of phillip garrido, ku is accused of kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her for 18 years in his backyard, father and two children with her. authorities are looking closely at the case. yesterday, the broad dogs out -- they brought dogs out to look each human remains. now, they're trying to -- now
12:04 pm
they are trying to find out what is going on there. as we get more news, we will bring it to you. jon: a brand new hour, and it is shaping up to be a busy hour of news. we are expecting an update any minute now, some new numbers on the spread of the h1n1 virus. when doctors get to the podium, we will take you there live. we're also waiting to hear from robert gibbs, who is said to brief reporters in a few minutes. topics from acorn to missile defense are expected to be on the table. we will monitor that and tell you what mr. gibbs has to say. also, two man hunts are going on. in dallas, cops say that a security guard was killed in a bank robbery there. suspect are on the run. and in illinois, a suspect who escaped yesterday from a
12:05 pm
courtroom has armed himself, hijacked a car, and robbed a bank. we are going to try and keep track of all of it for you. jane: as mentioned, we are taking a live look at this weekly briefing at the cdc, waiting for doctors to step up to the microphone. a bunch of headlines on this flu issue. what are we learning? >> one news item coming out is that and he petit mil just -- an epidemiologist from harvard is putting finishing touches on a study giving us a better look at just how severe h1n1 is expected to be. he is trying to take into consideration the majority of people who get the virus and the simpsons -- symptoms are so mild that they do not have to go to a doctor or go to the hospital.
12:06 pm
when he presented findings recently in washington, there was a report from reuters that the study will tell us the death rate from h1n1 is actually going to be much lower than originally expected. it will be similar to a year of moderate seasonal flu. also, the study is going to report that h1n1 symptoms will be mildest in children. jane: in the spring, it was affecting a large number of children and adults. what do they think now? >> they believe it will disproportionally affect children. we are seeing this. now that school is in session, it is disproportionally affecting kids, who are most
12:07 pm
likely to get and to spread it. but if the results of the study holds true, what it will mean is that while a disproportionately large number of children will get h1n1, only a small percentage of them will actually die from the virus. jane: if the study that you are talking about turns out to be true, why are people so concerned about the flu? >> public health officials caution that even if this turns out to be no worse than the seasonal flu, just the sheer numbers involved say that even though it claims the lives of less than one-tenth of 1% of the people who get it each year, you can expect similar numbers. also, the sad thing is that because h1n1 disproportionally
12:08 pm
affects children, you will see a handful of children die from a disease that most likely could have been prevented with vaccination. jane: all right. we will continue to take a look at those live pictures, and when the conference's other way -- conference is under way, we will bring you there. jon: the lockerbie bombing is putting out documents that he claims will exonerate him in the bombing of pan am 103. he was jailed in scotland but freed recently on compassionate grounds after doctors said he only had months to live. apparently, she is not too sick to persuade people he is innocent -- he is not been -- he is not too sick to persuade people he is innocent of the bombing of 103, which killed
12:09 pm
over 200 people. jane: let's go live to the conference. >> of the flu season has begun -- the flu season has begun. it has begun early. nearly all of the flu that we are seeing is this novel h1n1 virus. children and adults are still being hit the hardest. that is what we saw in the spring, and it is showing itself again in the fall and early summer here in the united states. we are finding that flu is being reported in all 50 states. there are 21 states reporting widespread activity. we do not see that kind of activity this time of year, usually. it is a strange thing for us to see that amount of influenza at this time of year. we monitor the numbers of
12:10 pm
patients going into certain clinics and outpatient clinics, and with that information, we can see if there's an increase in the number of people coming in with of the flu. and what we have found is that there is an increased amount of people coming in with influenza, about twice what will it -- what we would expect this time of year. if you ask doctors, they will tell you, "boy, we are seeing a lot of flu this time of year." but we also want to look at what is happening in hospitalizations, in hospitals. what we see so far is that there is an increase in the rate of hospitalization for younger children and for adults, but it is not up at the same levels we would see during seasonal flu. so it is something you want to watch very closely, but at this time we are seeing lots of
12:11 pm
outpatient activity, and some activity in hospitals. we look at all of the virus is turned into cdc from different laboratories around the nation -- we look at all the viruses turned into the cdc from different laboratories all around the nation. what we know right now is the new vaccine being manufactured and distributed is a good match. we also find that the virus maintains a high sensitivity to tamil flew -- tamiflu. we also are encouraged that we do not find any changes in the virus that could increase the severity of the symptoms. we do expect to see more illness in the coming weeks and throughout the flu season. we expect h1n1 to remain the
12:12 pm
predominant strain, and more young people will be affected than we might have seen in the past. older individuals are often more effective -- unaffected, but we might see more younger individuals be affected this year, so that is something we want to monitor closely. it is important to become vaccinated when the vaccine becomes available. unfortunately, we will have some hospitalizations and deaths due to h1n1 and influenza this year. that is something we expect, and something we want to prevent with vaccinations. flu activity will vary. some parts of the country will have disease, while others may not. we might have disease going from one part of the country to another. in the southeast right now, there is a considerable amount of the disease, very consistent
12:13 pm
with the opening of schools. as schools open at after labor day, -- as schools open after labor day, we may expect an increase in other parts of the country. jane: that is the cdc updating us on the h1n1 flew you have heard so much about. they have seen about twice as many people with the flu this year. the good news is that the vaccine is going to be manufactured and will be available at your doctor's office. it is said to be a good match for the virus. jon: just ahead, too wacky to be true. a killer is let out of confinement to go to the fair. guess what? he escaped. now he is on the loose in the pacific northwest.
12:14 pm
we also will update you on the manhunt in illinois. an escaped prisoner accused of robbing a bank and hijacking a car. we will bring you the latest from the chicago area on this a state bank robber, just ahead. 4 times the number... of pills compared to aleve. choose aleve and you could start taking fewer pills. just 2 aleve have the strength... to relieve arthritis pain all day.

12:18 pm
forced schools in the area into locked down. i wanted to give the headlines to you. jon and jane? jane: how about this startling story? the criminally insane killer escaped on a field trip to a fair. authorities in the spokane, washington area are looking for this man, a killer declared by the court to be criminally insane. he was on a field trip, and authorities say that he walked away for -- from his group, and the hospital with a two hours before alerting police. in 1987, he strangled an elderly woman, bearing her outside her home. at the time he said the voices in his head told him she needed to die. what can you tell us?
12:19 pm
>> when we get a report, we dispatch an officer or deputy to tell -- investigate who was seen. we believe he went south, toward the city of sunnyside in washington where his parents live. authorities tell us he was in contact with his parents almost daily from the state hospital, so it is likely that that is where he was headed -- is headed. i cannot comment on the state hospital's policies or practices. we were as surprised as anybody to find out that somebody with this type of history would be out in that family-oriented crowd type event. we are surprised and concerned, and those are questions we will be asking next week. at this time, all of our focus is on recovering be escaped inmate. -- recovering the escaped
12:20 pm
inmate. i talked to the fair manager yesterday afternoon, and he said there is no policy that they be notified, but local students -- local schools to the clean notified when they are bringing people to be fair -- local schools typically provide notification that they are coming to the fair. they had no indication at the fair that they were bringing mental patients out. jane: there is a discrepancy about what he looks like. >> he is a five-foot, 8 inches. jon: the drug enforcement administration is trying to stop the flow of drugs, conducting raids in afghanistan. we will tell you about their latest one word turns innovative design

12:33 pm
>> they are trying to force undie -- you and i to compel every american to subsidize abortion with this health plan. >> at one point, rep smith went on to say that when obama addressed congress, he asserd that his health-care plan will not cover abortions. that, smith said, is demonstrably false, a nicer way of saying what joe wilson said that evening. this should be done by 12 noon, 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. that is a good reason for r viewers to tune in tomorrow to our saturday coverage. we heard a lot o talking 2008 that this wing of thearty may

12:41 pm
reference to his escaped -- escape get from outside the courtroom yesterday -- his escaped from the courtroom yesterday. he said, "i am the guy who escaped from rolling meadows yesterday." we know that the gray volkswagen is of the car they are looking for. we have a license plate. it is there on the screen. but they do not know if he is on foot right now. he has robbed this bank before. i heard you say that. they confirm that he took about $7,000 in 2008 and that he knows the area of very well -- the area very well. they think he could be on foot, but they are not confirming it. they gave more details about the robbery this morning. that is where they are focusing. they have had to split up resources, because this guy is

he talks about taxing insurance companies. will the tax be passed on to you? amazing information at the top of the hour on "the live desk." jane: now to the latest on the murder case of yale graduate student annie le. the suspect is apparently no longer talking to police. a report today indicates that police may be talking to a second person. if he killed her, the question is still why. he is described as a control fight -- control freak, overly concerned about the welfare of laboratory mice. our police looking at for someone else? >> police are categorically denying the report. the terminology they are using is not actively pursuing anyone else, but one point of interest
12:48 pm
with this is that just yesterday, the police chief did say that there were other people involved that they were taking a look out, meaning that they knew where these people were. one speculation that law- enforcement has been making is that the suspect worked with his sister, brother-in-law, and fiancee at the laboratory. he is a domineering personality, and one suspicion that police were investigating is that perhaps someone did not help him murder her -- they are very clear, the police, that he was alone in this -- but possibly somebody help him with tampering of evidence or obstruction of justice. jane: there are reports that his relatives have not shown up for work. is that true? >> it is true.

12:54 pm
the united nations on american global power. certainly an effort, i believe, to try to undermine the dollar as a global currency. the united nations has a long track record of anti- americanism. this is their latest swipe against the united states. >> replacing global use of the dollar is in the best use of all countries, they claim, including the united states, arguing that it will improve international trade and relations. even the u.n. report says that any effort to do away with the dollar will not happen anytime soon since a global consensus would be required. you and i both know the bat that does not happen very quickly, especially when calling the un. jon: thank you. jane: we have been watching these pictures coming from the home of phillip garrido, the
