year that a student learns something from the brain that you donate. how a new bank of human tissue can help researchers crack the code of one of the most puzzling diseases on earth. >> plus. >> you go to bed and say, oh, maybe i made somebody happy today, just for a few minutes. >> she lives her life, thousands of miles from the battlefield, but her heart and her words are changing soldiers' lives. >> he just hugged me and hugged me and hugged me. i just-- he couldn't thank me enough. he says it helped me at times when i needed it so badly. >> it's been nearly a month since the deepwater horizon oil rig exploded in the gulf and set to have a catastrophic oil spill and now officials say they've taken the first step towards containing the gushing underwater well.

they were finally able to insert that mile long tube and basically begin siphoning the oil from the busted well it a danger at surface. at best it's only a partial fix that could slow, but not stop completely the leak, the government estimates 210,000 gallons pouring into the gulf every day and some scientists say it's likely more than that. bp executives acknowledged there's no way to know for sure. david lee miller is live in venice, louisiana. david lee, do we know how much oil they've been able to divert so far, but it's impossible to tell? >> bp says they're not releasing numbers and acknowledge for the first time that oil that might be otherwise be spewed into the gulf is now being diverted into a tanker on the surface. and they say that in and of itself is a significant development. but as you point out, many critics suggest this is little more than a bandaid. it's certainly not a cure. and even bp is acknowledging

that there is a second leak that has not been addressed. what the company says it must do here is to completely seal off the well head and that's not exactlied to happen for at least several days, if not much longer. juliet. >> david, we also want ooh update on the environmental impact and we saw some of your stories over the weekend, with the birds being cleaned. have you had any updates on that? >> one of the things that got an a lot of attention, a group of scientists spent weeks on a research vessel in the gulf and what they said they discovered is a series of underwater plumes of oil that they believe came from the spill. one of the scientists told us that the oxygen level near these plumes is about 30% less than normal, and that could pose a problem to marine life. now, another consequence of the oil spill, a number of sea birds, as you mentioned have been injured. one woman who went fishing this afternoon was about 15 miles out at sea when see says

she spotted a bird in trouble. >> he swam up to the boat like he needed help so we picked him up and he was pretty weak when we picked him up and we kept him in the box until we could get him back on land and find someone to rehabilitate time and working on a rescue foundation to pick him up or somewhere we can bring them. >> the bird is now being treated by wild life officials, the question remains how many other injured animals are there and will they get the necessary treatment. back to you. >> yet another impossible thing to tell. david lee miller, thank you very much. we are america's election headquarters. right now we're less than 48 hours away from votes that could dramatically alter the political makeup of our entire country. so what happens in several states on tuesday may tell us a lot about what's in the mind of voters, just six months out from the mid term elections. three of the most highly patched contests are senate primary elections, kentucky, pennsylvania and arkansas. in kentucky, the tea party candidate has the potential to

knock off the state g.o.p. establishment's pick. in pennsylvania, and arkansas, two democratic incoupkucumbents fighting to. and a special election to replace the late congressman murtha. and congress shaken by a bipartisan display of anger for the status question. two incouple bent with deep roots, one democrat, one republican shown the door by their respective parties. julie kirtz is live in washington. >> hi, juliet. no surprise that election year could be tough on incouple bent. it's the most important date so far in the election year calendar and both parties putting big bucks and political star power on the line and in pennsylvania's 12th congressional district the race is tight to fill the late john murtha's house seat and bill clinton was in pennsylvania today campaigning for mark crist and scott brown

putting his name behind the businessman tim burns. >> and special interest should stay away and let tim and his opponent go toe to toe and let the best person win. >> reporter: let me ask you something, forget about politics. >> think about decisions you made in your life when you were really mad. >> it's about 80% chance you made a mistake. >> reporter: but getting mad can motivate people to vote and in arkansas, another key state to watch on tuesday, incumbent democrat senator blanch lincoln faces anger from the left and right about the vote for the health care bill and lincoln needs to get more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff, she may not be able to do that tuesday and in pennsylvania, five term senator arlen specter faces a challenge from congressman and retired admiral sestak who is essentially calling specter a fake democrat for switching parties and sestak has

momentum, but specter says today he's still confident he can win and specter is endorsed by president obama, the democratic party and the afl-cio, but given the mood of voters that kind of backing is no guarantee at all. juliet. >> definitely a lot to watch on tuesday. thank you, julie. new developments now in the child sex scandal rocking the catholic church. according to reports, the vatican is planning to make a detailed argument tomorrow that it was not behind a coverup to protect ped fire priests much the current currently fight ago u.s. lawsuit charging it was negligent for allegedly failing to deal with predatory priests. the outcome there could have significant implications for similar lawsuits all over the world. greg burke joins you live from rome and what else do we know about the vatican's planned defense. >> there are going to be two key points, whether or not there was a vatican coverup and the second, whether or not a bishop is an employee of the vatican. now, there's a lot more punch if you can be suing the vatican rather than just suing

your local dioces or local bishop, it opens up a whole new ball game, if you bring the vatican into it and the pope in, in terms of the publicity. that's going to be happening in louisville this week and lawyers arguing that the vatican organization add coverup and there's going to be a lot of fighting over a 1962 vatican document about the abuse investigations and lawyers for the case will argue they told the bishops they'll keep things quiet and a vatican representative will fight that and the only secrecy involved is that of protecting the victims and that there was nothing in that document that the crime should not be reported to civil authorities and also, a major battle brewing over whether or not the bishops are employees of the vatican and the vat cans going to argue that they are not. they aren't paid by the vatican. they doesn't take their day-to-day instructions from the vatican or the pope either and finally juliet. in the past few weeks, things seemed to be calming down a little bit over the abuse issue, the pope did have, make some comments about them at the start of his portugal trip similar to the ones that he

said today, saying the problem is not inside the church. staying inside the church not outside, but it was a successful trip to portugal and he was greeted very warmly there by very big crowds, but this thing could change things totally if the vatican is brought into these trials, certainly, they've-- the lawyers have not been successful with this in the past, but if they are now, it changes the ball game completely. juliet. >> greg burke in rome. thank you, greg. it's not your typical succession plan by any means, after all the people now being replaced formally had huge bulls eyes on their backs and al-qaeda in iraq now naming two leaders to head the terror networks. previously leaders were killed in a joint u.s.-iraqi raid and concerns about the iraqi security situation loom large. dominique di-natale, excuse me, updates us from baghdad. >> the al-qaeda has capped off the crown of the new leadership, here in iraq, affiliate better known as the

islamic state of iraq. appointed amir or chief and also given him a first minister to act as his deputy. the man being named as al-- and awe bu al hasanni, the same last name and doesn't mean they're related, probably from the same tribe however could not be their real names, war lord names to cover up the true identity. however, comes 4 hours after al-qaeda named the minister of war who had pledged very much a bloody campaign against the shia majority here and with recent events, certainly looks hike al-qaeda has been active. the bodies have been piling up. the scene on friday, a small town in north of the country saw the weekend shattered with a car bomb exploded at a soccer game and two suicide attackers ran among the crowds and ignited the bomb belts and hurting more people. and there were also many

christians in the region. it wasn't the first time talafar has witnessed carnage in. 2007 more than 120 people were killed in a similar attack. with the mass casualty attacks, the sectarian war between rival unities, and it's designed to prevent violence and retribution and the al-qaeda shadowy networks.... the new hierarchy is announced on the day that the electoral commission says a crucial recount for the baghdad region in iraq undecided election has left the numbers the same. a tally of the same number of parliamentary seats and putting pressures on the politicians to form a new government as quickly as possible and get with security. however, that doesn't appear to be any will by the politicians to scramable together. iraqi citizens are angry, nervous and frustrated playing

in the hand of the terrorists, playing as much into the hands of al-qaeda, that would return iraq to chaos if it could. juliet, back to you. >> julie: dominic di-natale, thank you. a new york city man killed trying to save a woman from an oncoming train. what she was doing in on the tracks in the first place and what the family had to say. and meet the 82-year-old woman spending much of her life writing letters to people she's never met. the inspirational story coming up.
