county of public workses. they are the ones that facilitated in removing the debris of the property to allow us to continue a more thorough search. we've also had contra costa search and rescue as well as a lot of personnel from the alameda county sheriff's office, contra costa sheriff's office, and as well as the fbi. without the cooperation of everyone, including the media, this operation wouldn't be going as smoothly as it has. now we'll open it up for questions. >> once again, please, raise your hands right here. >> the next group of dogs that we're bringing in are the bone dogs, specifically. instead of bringing them in multiple times, we want to have all of the areas clear so they can do an entire sweep of the

properties sergeant nelson, do you want to address the capabilities of the dogs? >> the dogs that were here yesterday are to detect human remains and the dogs that were going to bring in today are more archeological dogs. in other words, they are specifically there to find older bones. the concern here is that there could be native american bones as well so we want d to basically cross check the work done by yesterday's dogs. >> you were just listening to lieutenant chris just a short time ago before this gentlemen here, who was talking about the search of phillip garrido's property, saying that cadaver dogs were in for the next few days. but they will not be here today and the next plan is to scan the area and there are signs that there have been bones there. he they want to make sure that they are not human bones. they want to see if the

believes that he was part of a flot that may have been targeting a major transportation center, like a large railroad or subway station in new york. the fbi tells sources that the target may have been chosen because security isn't as tight as it is at usair ports and that the attacks may have been fashioned after the 2004 bombings. but his attorney says so far the fbi has no case against him. >> the government is not always right. there is no probable cause to believe that he's committed any crime. there for, all of the neighbors clubbing their tongues and shaking their heads, he seemed like such a nice man. well, maybe he is such a nice man because the cops don't have reason to believe that he's not. >> they deny any involvement in the plot. >> opposition protests. we're back in the streets of tehran today.

some of the biggest rallies that we've seen there in months. international reporters have been kicked out and they are not there. many protestors yelled liar and death to dictator. there were also government-sponsored rallies against israel. that has become an annual political event in tehran. the opposition says that they will use this to show the protests are not over there. here's a question that we are asking you today. was an ohio inmate's lethal injection cruel and unusual punishment? that's what his lawyers are saying. they tried for more than two hours to find a useable vain to give him a useable injection.

criticizing the president for not being out enough during the proun hall protests for his health care plans. he was too quiet. in the last week we've seen a real push by this white house to get the president out there. remember, it started ability nine days ago and went in prime time on national tv as he addressed a joint session of congress. two rallies including the one you see yesterday from maryland, also an address to a union crowd, and as you mentioned, he's going to be everywhere this weekend and then on letterman. so does the white house think the president is overexposed? here is white house press secretary robert gibbs. >> i think gone are the days where one outlet is where everyone gets their news or one medium is where everybody gets their news. and i think this is just an attempt by the president to speak to as many different people as he can on an issue that's as important as something like health care reform or on afghanistan. >> do americans think the president is doing a good job?

this is our cnn poll of polls. an average of the six national survey that is came out since the president gave that address in prime time to congress. you can see 55% approve, 39% disapprove. the president's overall personal numbers are higher than his numbers for things like health care. he's more popular than his policies. chuck, he really is the best salesman if he wants to get health care passed. >> he's enlisted his wife, the first lady, as a salesperson, right? >> yes, he sure has. we saw the first lady yesterday at the opening of a farmer's market. today the first lady was out there again speaking to women and families at a health care event. she was talking and listening to stories about how the current health care system is hurting women and families. the first lady as well doing her part, less policy, more personal stories from the first lady. she's very popular. first ladies are often more popular than their husbands because they're less political. this weekend he appears live, these things aren't taped

on friday and played on sunday? >> often he is live. this time from what i believe, he is taping friday afternoon, this afternoon, and they will be played on sunday, chuck. >> paul steinhauser, have a good weekend. thanks. a show that certainly made its way to the record books.

"liar" and "death to dictator" where ahmadinejad addressed a crowd. there were also rally ins support of the government, in support of palestinians and against israel. that's become an annual political address. the opposition says it used the day to show that protest and descent are not over. chris morrow visited the san diego quilt show and came across an interesting group whose mission is to cover all war-wounded veterans with quilts of valor. take a listen. >> hi, i'm barbara from southern california quilts of valor chapter. and we make quilts that are presented to our wounded that come back from iraq and afghanistan. we have the assistance of a lot of different individuals. some of them make individual blocks for us, and then we add the sashing and the borders and complete them into quilts and then we have volunteers who do the quilting on them and make

them beautiful. we have made 611 quilts as of today. actually about 500 of them have already been presented. some are still out with quilters. sometimes it's hours. sometimes it's days and weeks to get them pieced together. >> this is a quilt made by vanessa mccormack, as soon as this show is over, it will be presented to someone who is returning from iraq or afghanistan. this is another quilt going out to the soldiers when the san diego quilt show is over. if anyone would like to get involved, it's something as simple as making a block or making a top and donating to us, the national website is www.qovf.org. >> what have the servicemen said when they receive the guilt? >> they're just so thankful there's people out there who appreciate what they're doing. we've had some that have even told us that this means more than the medals that they have sitting a home because they can cuddle with their kids under this quilt and wrap it around themselves and feel the love.

we actually had one guy who said he didn't want to wash the quilt because he knew all the love and care that was put into making it. >> they're works of art. barbara winkler said the quilts wraparound vet vance like a hug from home. many thanks for the i report. if you're so inspired and near where news is being broken, you can go to ireport.com. look for the upload now link and submit your stories. your car goes off a cliff. your ribs are broken, lung is punctured, you can't walk. what do you do to hang on? hear one incredible woman's story of survival. the air is sweet. and zyrtec® starts... relieving my allergies... 2 hours faster than claritin®. my worst symptoms feel better, indoors and outdoors. with zyrtec®, the fastest... 24-hour allergy medicine, i promise not to wait as long to go for our ride.

the fbi says it intends to question sas zi again. they believe he was part of a plot that may have been targeting a major transportation center, like a large railway or subway station in new york. the fbi tells the sources the target may have been picked

because security isn't as tight as it is in u.s. airports. there's no screening and the attacks may have been fashioned after the 2004 madrid bombings. one civil rights lawyer says so far the fbi has no case against zazi. >> people need to understand that the government is not always right. there is no probable cause to believe he's committed any crime. therefore, all the neighbors clucking their tongues and shaking their heads saying he seemed like such a nice man, you know, well, maybe he is such a nice man because the cops don't even have probable cause to believe he's not. >> he's an afghan national and has denied any involvement in a plot. a move to quickly replace the late senator ted kennedy has hid a snag. republicans have blocked debate on a bill that would allow a governor to appoint a temporary successor for kennedy. it prevents an interim appointment and requires a special election. today's action means the bill can't be debated until next

your p.a.d. isn't just poor circulation in your legs causing you pain. ok-what is it? dad, it more than doubles your risk of a heart attack or stroke. i can't keep anything from you. you better read about plavix. if you have p.a.d., plavix can help protect you from a heart attack or stroke. plavix helps keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots- the cause of most heart attacks and strokes. dad don't put this off., p.a.d. more than doubles your risk of a heart attack or stroke., promise me you'll talk with your doctor about plavix? i'll do it. i promise. (announcer) if you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding, you should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines including aspirin may increase bleeding risk. tell your doctor before planning surgery or taking aspirin or other medicines with plavix, especially if you've had a stroke. some medicines that are used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers, like prilosec, may affect how plavix works, so tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops,

tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition, reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur.

this is successful. hopefully nobody was hurt there. nobody was hurt in the incidents this morning and yesterday. again, he dictates how it ends. he dictated this one unfortunately. i would hope nobody was hurt. my understanding is that i don't believe anybody was. but i'm glad it's over. >> he got away yesterday from being transported for robbery convictions. he managed to overcome two armed officers, grabbed one weapon and held the weapon on the person he overpowered and got a weapon from the other guard transporting him from kankakee. police say they've found no evidence to tie phillip garrido to the two missing girls. authorities have been investigating whether he can be linked to their disappearances. at a news conference today

authorities said they would not bring cadaver dogs back to the garrido home until they cleared away more debris in the back yard. yesterday dogs hit on what may be human remains. that was the indication, that there were possibly human remains buried on the couple's property. >> the operation continuing today will focus upon the continual removal of debris on the properties. we're going to be removing some concrete slabs from both properties as well as a shed on the adjacent property. we're going to be continuing the search of the garrido house on the interior, and we're going to begin the scan of the properties underground with ground penetrating radar and magnetometer. >> the garrido rs behind bars charged with kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her captive for 18 years. officials released more than a hundred photos taken inside the couple's home. you can see the conditions. awful is the way a lot of people

unacceptable. >> we need to act. no longer can we sit by and watch the debate take on a life of its own. it is up to us to get involved because what we have to remember is that now more than ever we have to channel our passions into change. >> on the campaign trail last year michelle obama often talked about the need for health care reform. wet. a short three-letter word, not very sweet three-letter word to describe what's happening across the south today, in fact all week. chad myers is here to take a look at what's happening. too many noah's ark jokes i guess. it's been quite a week. >> if the people haven't had flooding haven't had the air conditioner on for five days, that's saving money. it's coming down in some spots. there's memphis all the way back down even to northern mississippi, rain showers and thunderstorms over nashville yesterday. some pictures not that far south of nashville. it will continue today.

scientists are surprised at a recent discovery of a smaller tyrannosaurus rex. great story, huh? >> it's interesting. i guess you could call this a tiny t rex. scientists are calling it a raptor rex actually. when we say tiny, it does stand a little bit taller than a human male. it was discovered in northeastern china, and the interesting thing about this was, as you mentioned, that it was completely unexpected. that's what makes it such a great discovery for scientists. you can read all about it on cnn.com. you can also see renditions of the raptorex. specifically it stood about 9 feet tall and weighed 150 pounds or so, same powerful legs, razor sharp teeth and tiny arms as t rex, but it roamed china some 125 million years ago. that's about 60 million years

before the tyrannosaurus rex. scientists think that because of its physique, raptorex were able to prey on animals much larger than itself. after remains were discovered, they were actually smuggled out of china and into the united states. here a collector in the massachusetts purchased them and then he donated them to science. they will, however, be returned home. the raptorex fossil will go back to china eventually for display at the evacuation site. pretty interesting stuff, chuck. >> i'm guessing it was a meat either? >> i think that's safe to say. >> safe assumption. >> relative of t rex, absolutely. >> yeah, with those truth. what else is generating interest? >> i'm wondering whether you have an iphone? >> i have an ipod touch which is sort of a first cousin. >> that's very true. it is indeed a relative. if you enjoy this kind of

a plot that may have been targeting a major transportation center like a large railroad or subway station in new york. the fbi tells the sources, the target may have been chosen because security isn't as tight as it is at u.s. airports, and the attacks may have been fashioned after the 2004 madrid bombings. but one civil rights attorney says so far, the fbi has no case against him. >> people need tons, the government is not always right. there is no probable cause to believe he's committed any crime. therefore all the neighbors chucking their tongues and shaking their heads saying, he seemed like such a nice man. maybe he is such a nice man because the cops don't even have probable cause to belief he is not. >> he has denied any involvement in a plot. that louisville high school football coach found not guilty in the death of one of his players yesterday may be able to return to coaching and teaching. the jefferson county superintendent says he will meet with david stinson to determine

a move to quickly replace the late senator ted kennedy has hit a snag. republicans in the massachusetts state senate have temporarily block debate on a bill that would allow the governor to point a temporary successor for kennedy. current massachusetts law prohibits an interim appointment and requires a special election. today's action by state senate republicans means the bill can't be debated until monday. the start of the next formal session. kennedy died of brain cancer last month. in georgia, cracker barrel has ban ad man from its restaurants because he allegedly beat up one of its customers. we're talking about this man. troy west jr. he was arrested for allegedly hitting a woman and yelling racial slurs at her outside of a cracker barrel last week. the fbi is now investigating it as a possible hate crime. the man told police the woman spit on him and accuse him of trying to hit her daughter with a darr. she denies that. a pretty amazing story here. a colorado woman was driving when she swerved to avoid

continuule remover of debris on the properties. we're going to be removing some concrete slabs from both properties as well as a shed on the adjacent property. we're going to be continuing the search of the garrido house on the interior. and we're going to begin the scan of the properties underground with the ground penetrating radar and the magnetometer. >> the garridos are behind bars charged with kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her captive for 18 years. take a look at these photos. official have released more than 100 pictures taken inside the couple's home. you see it shows awful conditions. building inspectors have now condemned it, saying the home is unsafe to live in. we are getting two different pictures today of the man charged with killing a yale graduate student. police arrested this man raymond clark yesterday. they think he is the one who strangled annie le and stuffed her body in a wall. people who know clark well will

our sister network cnn, they can't believe people are talking about their friend. >> absolute complete shock. i cannot understand the position ray is in right now. why he is in this position. we do know what is going on but it is a complete shock. this is a dear friend of ours. >> it is very shocking to me. this is not the raymond clark that i know. and honestly, at the time, i can't say i believe he's guilty. you've known him so long. i just can't picture him doing something like this. >> but a neighbor said she saw a different side of clark. she said he and his live-in girlfriend didn't interact with neighbors. >> i could just tell he was controlling over his girlfriend. and any time she would tray to talk to me, he would say hurry up. let go. i didn't know him that well. but did i hear them yelling upstairs. mostly him yelling at his

obviously. but we're not going to see the amounts that we saw the past couple of days. we have a couple areas here that are in the red. one there. one there. a couple offshore. now red is four inches. if you remember, we were over here in the pinks and almost the whites for the past couple days. so the difference today is that we're spreading the rain out just a little bit. this area of rainfall is larger. that may not that because of the square fattage, or the mileage we have, that we're going to see more rain or the same amount of rain but not as deep everywhere because we're going to spread it out. it is like taking the roller. the rolling pin and spreading your pizza out a little thinner. you don't get as thick of a beats. a we won't get as thick of rain. new york city, 74, atlanta, 75, tampa, 90. i haven't turn the air conditioner on in about five days because it hasn't been warm enough to even do that. maybe we're saving electricity. >> that's the silver lining there. and you have mushrooms. thanks. a massive manhunt is just ended for a fugitive described

as armed and dangerous. this man, authorities in illinois, they captured him. his name is robert maday. he is tulane years old elf escaped yesterday. he is suspected of robbing a bank in bloomingdale, illinois, and hijacking a car from a woman this morning. no one was hurt in the robbery or the carjacking. she got away. maday was capture after getting into a traffic accident in the chicago area. >> we're very happy that mr. maday is in custody. aware happy for the community. it has been a tense 24 hours since he's been on the run. there have been a number victims from his carjackings. i can't say enough about the cooperative nature of this investigation between state, local and federal law enforcement agencies. the information flowed great between all the agencies. and again, it was just a very good cooperative nature. and investigation, we're very happy that it is concluded. >> now maday got away yesterday while being removed for a

sentencing in robbery convictions. he was shackled at the wrists and ankles but he still managed to overcome two armed officers. to dalts where police say a bank security guard was shot and killed during an attempt atm robbery. police say the shooting happened this morning as the guard was loading money into an atm machine at a chase bank. police are searching for a white car, carrying the gunman. possibly another suspect as well. investigators say they don't know if he made off with any cash or not. we have an update on a story we brought you yesterday. a judge found the florida lyle principal and athletic director not guilty of contempt after giving a prayer during a school luncheon. the pensacola school is under a court order banning prayer at school events. that is after the aclu sued, saying school official were promoting him. there were clears outside the courthouse when the judge decided the man didn't intend to violate the order. lack of health insurance is being call a factor in about

45,000 deaths a year in the u.s. harvard researchers say people without insurance have a 40% higher risk of death than people who have private health insurance. they say this is partly because people who don't have insurance often have a heard time finding a hospital that will treat them. hitting five networks in one day. sounds pretty much like a p.r. push by an actor who just release ad movie. this is coming from the commander in chief himself, he is sitting down for interviews this week. he'll be discussing health care reform. the white house says this is a logical move since so many people turn to different outlets to get their news these days oflt monday the president will appear on a slightly less formal venue. david letterman's late show. and michelle obama spoke about the need for health care reform, too. in her speech, the first lady

echoed her husband's message that the time for health care reform is now and that the current health care status quo is unacceptable. >> we need to act. no longer can we sit by and watch the debate take on a life of its own. it is up to us to get involved. because what we have to remember is that now more than ever, we have to channel our passions into change. >> on the campaign trail last year, you may recall, michelle obama often spoke about the need for health care reform. the fbi is saying it expects to question terror suspect zazi again today. sources tell cnn, the fbi believes the suspect zazi was part of a plot that may have been targeting a major transportation center. maybe like a large railroad or subway station in new york, they say. the fbi tell the sources, the target may have been chosen because security isn't as tight as it is at u.s. airports? that the attacks may have been fashioned after the 2004 madrid

bombings. but one civil rights attorney said so far, the fbi has no case against zazi. >> people need tons, the government is not always right. there is no probable cause to believe he has committed any crime. therefore, all the neighbor chucking their tongues and shaking their head saying he seemed like such a nice man, maybe he is such a nice man. the cops don't even have probable cause to believe that he is not. >> zazi, an afghan national, has deny any involvement in any sort of plot. that louisville high school football coach found not guilty yesterday in the death of one of his players may be able to return to coaching and teaching. the jefferson county superintendent says he will meet with david palestinianson to determine placement. yesterday palestinianson was acquitted of all charges connected to the heat-related death of max gilpin. the jury said there was not enough evidence to show the former coach did anything wrong. gilpin collapsed doing sprints.

he died in the hospital three days later. his parents were upset. they are glad for the awareness that their son's case is bringing about. >> we're disappointed. weapon this going into it. the main objective was that max's death not be in vain. and i do believe, i know that this trial has brought awareness, which is what we wanted. >> kentucky lawmaker recently passed legislation requiring coach to take a four-hour online course in player safety. there is phil a civil trial pending. this is more than just a good drawing of a dinosaur. a tiny fossil could hole some big answers. we'll tell you why there is so much excitement about this new discovery. achoo!

(announcer) progresso. you gotta taste this soup.

scientists are surprised by a recent discovery a. smaller version of one of the larger dinosaurs. we're talking about the t-rex. reggie join with us more on this. it is a fascinating picture. you could say. the tiny t-rex. not so tiny though. >> it is more the size of a man than a t-rex but it looks just like a t-rex. so it is like a t-rex mini me. they're calling it a raptor rex. scientists don't every day find a new species of dinosaur. it has been a long time since they've been able to do this and name it. so let's look at what he looks like 678 he is about nine feet tall and weighs about 150 pounds. it didn't weigh a lot but you wouldn't necessarily want to run into it. good thing. it was 125 million sea ago this species was roaming china. it had really powerful legs.

razor sharp teeth. and like the t-rex, it had those tiny little arms. scientists think it preyed on animal much larger than itself. it lived about 60 million years before the tx rex came around so they weren't contemporaries. after the remains were discovered, they were smuggled out of china and into the united states. a collector purchased them and donated them to science. we understand the fossil will eventually be returned to china and they'll display it at the exkafation site. so i guess dangerous things come in small packages. >> that's a nice way to sum that up. what else is getting tang today? >> a lot of people have the iphone but not many people make music from their iphone. we discovered this british musician who is doing that very thing. shannon cook sat down with him. the video is getting a lot of clicks on the website. it uses some applications to create music. so let's see what it sounds like.

♪ i look in may crystal ball ♪ >> his name is gary. i thought that sounded pretty good considering it was coming from a phone. the applications mimic a guitar, a piano and a drum elf doesn't record music from the iphone. but who knows? every day things are getting a little better so maybe one day musicians will be going into the studio with just a thing they carry in their pocketful. >> i need to take a class on the applications. i can barely daily out really. >> i don't even have one. so you're about ten steps ahead of me. >> you're like the t-rex. get up with the times. >> bye. i-reporter chris more over visited the san diego quilt show and calm across a group whose mission is to cover all war wounded veterans. war-wounded with quilts of valor.

it was a good, cooperative nature. and we are happy it's concluded. >> he got away yesterday while being transferred for his sentence on robbery convictioned. police say he was shackled at the wrists and ankles but was still able to overcome two armed officers. and police say they have no evidence to tie the garridos to two other disappearances. both girls were last seen near their california homes in the late 1980s. and crews said they would not bring cadaver dogs back until debris was removed from the yard. the garridos are behind bars right now charged with kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her captive for 18 years. we are getting two different pictures of the man charged with

killing a yale grad student. police arrested raymond clark yesterday, as you may well know. they say he strangled annie le and stuffed her body behind a wall. but people that know him cannot believe they are talking about his friend. >> absolute shock. why he is in the position? we do know, you know, what is going on. but it's a complete shock because this is a dear friend of ours. >> this is very shocking to me. this is not the raymond clark that i know. honestly, at the time being i cannot say that i believe that he is guilty. i have known him so long, i just can't picture him doing something like this. >> a neighbor says she saw a different side of clark. he says she and his live-in girlfriend did not interact with

neighbors. >> i could tell he was controlling over his girlfriend. and anytime she would try to talk to me, he would say let's go. come on. i did hear them yelling upstairs, and mostly him yelling at his girlfriend. >> bond for clark has been set at $3 million. his next court appearance set for october 6th. what kind of case are they putting together against clark? nancy grace has all the details tonight at 8:00 and 10:00 eastern time. and then president obama has no plans to meet with mahmoud ahmadinejad next week. secretary of state, hillary clinton, says the administration's offer to engage with iran is still on the table, but time is running out. u.s. and its allies have offered economic incentives if it stops

its nuclear activity. and some of the loudest and biggest rallies we have seen in months, and it was saying the government stole the june presidential election. and some of the pictures are coming from ordinary iranians that post them to youtube and other sites. many quote liar and death to dictator, near where mahmoud ahmadinejad addressed a crowd. the opposition says it used the day to show the protest and decent are not over. hitting five networks in one day sounds more like a pr push by an actor, promoting a new movie. this media blitz coming from the commander in chief himself, barack obama is sitting down with our sister network, cnn, as

well as abc and cbs and univision this weekend. some say it's a logical news because people turn to so many outlets these days to get the news. meantime, the first lady jumped into the health care debate today at an event. she talked about the need for reform. she echoed her husband's message that the time for health care reform is now. the status quo is unacceptable. >> no longer can we sit by and watch the debate take on a life of its own. it is up to us to get involved. because what we have to remember is that now more than ever we have to channel our passions into change. >> on the campaign trail last year, michelle obama often talked about the need for health care reform. now, listen to this. if you have served in the
