accused of kidnapping three women. five pregnancies ended after she wasedly punched in the stomach. >> i fully intend to seek charges for each rape, each day of kidnapping, every felonious assault, all his attempted murders and each act of aggravated murder he committed by terminating pregnancies that the offender perpetuated against the hostages during this decade-long ordeal. >> msnbc's craig melvin is live in cleveland. craig, how many charges might we be talking about here all together? >> reporter: well, we could be talking about dozens if not hundreds of charges based on that news conference yesterday. but i've been talking to a source close to the investigation who indicated that he would be surprised if this

made to trial. castro at this point, ariel castro, the 512-year-o2-year-ol raised miranda. he has been cooperating with police. if there is a trial, that would mean the three women would have to relive the decades of torture that they were subjected to in this home. so there is some talk that the death penalty may be used as leverage, if you will. also in the past hour or two, we have learned that the dna testing, the dna testing, paternity testing that was conducted on ariel castro, they have the results. those results have been turned over to the cleveland police department. we don't know whether we'll get the results today, we be being the media, but they took the dna from castro and they compared it to other missing persons cases not just in ohio, but

nationally. so we'll get the results from that. and we'll also find out whether ariel castro is the father of amanda berry's 6-year-old daughter. at this point we believe that he is. we have no reason to believe that he is not. but it's the dna test of course the paternity test that will confirm that, richard. >> craig, also another question out there is this suicide note allegedly there is a report that that exists and exit plan was discussed, too? >> reporter: yeah, the suicide note taken out of the house in the initial search. our affiliate here in cleveland has been talking about some of the details from their sources. among the details, he described himself as cold blooded. he said he was addicted to sex. he also went into the fact that in his eyes these young ladies were responsible for their own abduction because they got into the car with a stranger n.

that note was dated 2004. and he talked about being being a busabused as a child in that note. >> and later more on ariel castro's alleged suicide note and how the crimes may have been random. we'll also ask a criminologist about his alleged claim as physical abuse as a kid. this afternoon the president will put the focus back on health care, specifically how it helps women. he'll deliver a speech surrounded by women and families already benefitting from the new law. colorado's already launching an ad campaign to get people to sign up in print and on tv. >> at connect for health colorado, you can shop, compare, pick and purchase a health plan right for you. so what actually happens when dozens of plans compete for your business? you win. >> next week republicans will vote again to repeal health care. it would be the 38th vote to roll the law back. but the first one this year. >> we've got 70 new members that

have not had the opportunity to vote on the president's health care law. frankly, they have been asking for an opportunity to vote on it and we'll give to them. >> want to bring in the "washington post" and political editor. perry, what does it say that we're now three years since its passage, the president still trying to promote the law. there are ads trying to get people to sign up and be aware of it. and republicans are still trying to repeal it. seems like we're in the same place. >> i don't think we're in the same place, richard. in terms of the law itself on october 1st, we have a big deadline coming up where people can actually start formally signing up for the law itself and signing up and getting the subsidized insurance. so it's the first time people can actually get insurance through the law who are uninsured. and the white house is holding the event in part because their view is people don't necessarily know that for most americans, the law is already working in some ways. for instance if you're under 26, you can stay on your parent's plans.

so they want mothers to know that this law is already when fitting them and they want mothers to become validaters for the law so when their son who maybe doesn't have health insurance now can sign up in october, he'll call mom and say, oh, how does it work and his mom will be comfortable with obamacare and like the law better than she does how. >> they're saying the, the white house is, that it's women and mothers who have the most from you on such decisions in families. the headline in the "new york times" is as midterms loom, democrats worry about health law. so as we push forward, how critical an issue will this be for 2014? >> well, here we are at this point i think that people are aware that the benefits are out there and already underwear in the law. but people still don't like it. there is just aboutfully mole you look at, there are more people who say they don't like the law than say they do. and the problem for the midterms, the implementation of this law as with any huge social

program is going to be hard to pull off flawlessly. and it may well be that things will be kind of chaotic right as we're going into the midterm season. they will still be working out the bugs in the law. and that could be very complicated. >> max baucus has said health care could be a train wreck if preparations fall short. >> obama care is coming. it's already causing layoffs, higher premiums are next. mitch mcconnell saw it coming leading the fight against obamacare. >> this bill is a legislative train wreck. >> so the head of the group that is putting toes those exchanges, they say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up.es those exchanges, they say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up.tes those exchanges, they say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up.es those exchanges, they say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up.s those exchanges, they say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up. those exchanges, thy say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up.those exchanges, the say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up. those exchanges, thy say they are on schedule, they will meet that deadline you brought up. who crucial is this ad and

getting people to sign up? >> it is crucial. any kind of law like this, medicare had problem, medicare part d had lots of problems. there will be problems in this law which the the administration would acknowledge themselves. the challenge here is going to be how do you explain that process to the public to the point where they don't believe this is another fault of the administration and therefore a reason to vote out democrats in congress. i think it will be a big challenge. they're hiring people to work on it and figure out the message for it. and you saw the colorado ad. if you notice the colorado ad about the exchange, it doesn't use the words obamacare. democrats are trying to make sure people look at it as the health care law and how it benefits in terms of health care and less about obama good, bad, republicans. trying to depart is an the law. >> that is a challenge. i want to bring in congresswoman louise slaughter from new york.. >> that is a challenge. i want to bring in congresswoman louise slaughter from new york. you were an instrumental part of getting the health care law passed. and now we look at 2013. there is a poll that shows 42% of americans don't know what the

health care law is. and included in that, 12 of those percentage points are people who think it's been repealed. seven of those percentage points who think it got struck down with the supreme court. how challenging is educating americans about the changes as we go forward? >> let's not just accept that as reality. social security had the same problems. nobody wants to get rid of that or not very many people. remember, we did the health care bill, teddy roosevelt started it and we never could get it. clinton health care bill was destroyed by propaganda. the truth of the matter is this is already working. we did the health care bill because health care was 17% to 18% of gdp and we could not afford to let that go on. and we were not getting the best health care for the money we were spending. obviously you can't do something

this massive and go door to door and explain to everyone. but let me just speak what it did for women alone. did you know that before this health care bill, that eight states and the district of columbia considered domestic violence to be a pre-existing condition? in other words, ladies, if you've been beaten up, you might be beat even en up again, so we ensure you. and single women mostly were charged more money for the same health insurance than men simply because they were women. all this is gone. the whole pre-existing condition idea is gone. and we have changed the whole idea to not pay for service so that you get way too many tests and the costs are exorbitant. but for outcomes, it will work. we'll have to get wrinkles out of it. and as a member of the house p receipt of representatives, they're not doing it because they are dealing with health care. they don't have enough cohesion

and majority party to put other bills on the floor. >> i want to switch gears just a little here. i want to get to the other subject which we started at the top of the show with and that's about the issue of sexual assaults in the military. as you know there is a group of lawmakers that went to the white house to talk about this yesterday. what do you think needs to be done here? >> look, i've been working on this since 1993 when a group of nurses came back from vietnam and told the story that awful them had been raped. one by the chaplain. this is not a new issue. my first hearing was about in 2004. i have passed a bunch of legislation already that i think is very helpful. i think the new statistics, it's a possibility and my hope that there are just simply more women and men who feel able to report it. there a lot of nonsense still going on. general franklin who overturned a legal case, a juried verdict,

now second hagretary hagel says won't be doing that anymore. i heard about an awful brochure who said to women on the base walk straight ahead, look straight ahead, look out for men who look weird, you may have to roll under the car and yell real loud. and if that doesn't work, submit. >> do you think there is enough momentum right now we will see a change in the 113th? >> what i'm hoping is is that we're seeings change by more people reporting it, but what we've already done is make sure that there is someone they can talk with in every brigade, that they have an advocate. they didn't have any of this before. what most women who reported in the early 90s got from their commanding officer was you don't want to ruin that young man's career, do you? but what bothered me most about the testimony before the senate this past week was the fact that they said that women who were sexually assaulted in the military, a certain percentage of them had had sexual assaults

in their civilian life. that's blame the victim again. that is absolute utter nonsense and we have to stop that kind of thinking as with that belrochur. i have a lot of faith in general patten to be in charge with this. i met with him for some length and i think it will get better. but the numbers hey may go up e more people report. and frankly, i think one of the answers is more women who rise in the ranks to general themselves and those discussions will make a major difference. but it is culture. i don't think there's any question about it because the young people we send to military academies often get into trouble. >> thank you. i appreciate your time today congresswoman. karen, here is what senator gilly brand said lagill gilly gillibrand said last night. >> we hear time and time again from victims that they are

marginalized or retaliated against or they feel that their future in the military is at risk by reporting. >> so when we look at this here, right now if you're in the military, you have to report your rape to your commanding officer essentially your boss' boss or your boss' boss' boss. imagine if you had to do that at your job and i think that question was brought up earlier. is that why only one in eight have done that at least in the last year according to the statistics? >> having to sort of keep the administration of justice within the chain of command really assures there will be no administration of justice. the comparisons are not resis, but we saw sort of the same thing happen with the catholic church. the other thing that you have to do is change the culture of the military. that has to be done from the top and it has to be -- the word has to go out within the culture that there is zero tolerance of this sort of thing. so you have to deal like i said with the administration of justice and the justice system,

but i think even more importantly with the culture. >> all right. karen, perry, thank you so much and have a great weekend ahead of you. she's alive. 17 days after a building collapsed in bangladesh, a woman was found breathing, she was in a muslim prayer room in the basement of the building. she appears to be in remarkably good shach. t shape. the death toll rises to more than 1,000 victims. and is expected to keep on climbing. uncer ] from more efficient payments. ♪ to more efficient pick-ups. ♪ wireless is limitless.

more it is turning and incomprehensible details coming out about the living hell that three young women endured during ten years of captivity in a cleveland home. ariel castro faces multiple charges and could face the death penalty and we're learning new

details about tinterrogation by police and a suicide note he reportedly wrote found in his home. let's bring in a criminologist and professor casey jordan. so wkyc telling us that castro called himself cold blooded, his words there, and that he led police with exacting detail through the days that he abducted the three women. he goes tlul through you will t details to what they were wearing the day he apprehended them. what do the self descriptions tell you about the way he was thinking, that he knew he was doing bad things but. >> but he cooperate stop himself. he's blaming impulsivity, his inability to control his sexual addiction for the abductions. and they weren't that well thought out. he by his own words had no exit plan after he got the girl, he didn't know what to do with her, so he just kept her in the house. he has a lot of the mentality of a lust serial killer, but he

just never killed him. but his motivation was very much the same, sex. >> what drew that line for him where he was not going to kill them, didn't have an exit plan. >> honestly, we have not seen a case exactly like this in the past. we certainly have seen sexually motivated captors keeping captives, but not usually en masse for a decade. not three at once. so this is really one for the textbooks. i wonder if his own children, the fact that he had three daughters himself, one of whom was the best friend of fwchltgi maybe that's why he could not kill them himself. >> why does one keep a suicide note for nine years? >> i think we're calling it more of a diary than a suicide note. i mean, it is nine years old. and if he really wanted to kil himself, would he have a long time ago. it's just the ramblings of a man who was consumed by the demons inside. he doesn't want to suffer from this affliction, but he does.

and let's make no mistake, he has the choice to get help. but instead he continues to wallow in it, continues to keep the girls for his sexual gratification. he is aware that what he's doing is wrong. and there is no chance of an insanity defense if you look at this note. >> so if the note and the reports also say he claims he was abused as a child -- >> i don't doubt that's true at all. in almost 100% of these cases we see with the sexual sadism, the person was indeed subject to abuse as a child. but again, knowing they grow up and that they do have these problems caused by early childhood abuse, they always have a choice to get help and he professional counseling they need to break the cycle of violence. >> it has been said how the women had stockholm syndrome throughout the time, there is also what he is saying that he would like all of his, if he were to be apprehended or killed, that all of his money and all his possessions go to

them. >> a bit ironic since he seems to be of the low are socio economic realm and the house is in foreclosure and he doesn't seem to have any assets at all. i take that as a level of guilt, this idea that he knows what he's doing is wrong, he wishes key make it up to them, but he's in it with both feet. he will never ever let them go in his own mind. but if he killsment, he's thinking then they could be free, then they could have his assets. it reminds me of the case of florida natasha who escaped, her captor threw himself in front of a train within minutes because he knew the jig was up.a natash captor threw himself in front of a train within minutes because he knew the jig was up. >> going to trial or not? >> they're going to trial because they won't make a deal on this. >> thank you so much. jodi arias will spend the weekend on suicide watch in a phoenix jail and return to court wednesday to begin the penalty phase of her murder trial. the hearing was delayed after a

democrats in the white house are blasting republicans

accusing them of obstructionism on the nomination of jena mccarthy. >> is this is wrong. you want to know why some of us are in favor of reforming the rules? because of abuses like this that we see the republicans deploying every day. >> barbara boxer says mccarthy has answered an unprecedented number of questions. more than 1,000 from republicans. but republicans boycotted yesterday's vote saying mccarthy had not given complete answers. earlier this week a vote on labor secretary nominee tom perez was also postponed. let's bring in joe sestak and chris wilson. good day to both of you. chris, jay carney asked republicans to stop the theater. so are republicans obstructing? >> the obama administration's brought them on themselves through their use of executive orders to accomplish things. so what that has brought about

is it's required republicans to go through extra scrutiny before they will go forward on this. and it's not just republicans asking for more information. it's coming from democrats, as well. so even though carney wants to make it out as if it's just republican members, it's not. it really is bipartisan asking for more information on these people because before they make these appointments, they have to make sure that there is not anything there that would cause them to not be qualified or to not be willing to at that tita position. >> and mitch mcconnell saying the obama administration is causing the delay because they haven't fully answered questions about the underlying data. that was in politico. so do they have a point? >> i think chris used the word bipartisan because this is a bipartisan problem. each side does this. this time it's the republicans. and just a few years ago, the ep

after the stopp stopped the appointment of bush. and each party seems to want thor side to lose while america fails.bush. and each party seems to want thor side to lose while america fails. there is a price in our america for addressing and confronting our challenges only by crisis. we have lost the faith of americans because both parties care more about partisanship than they did about some kind of principal compromise to move forward. we even have a shorthand lexicon for this, sequester. fiscal cliff. super committee. debt ceiling. we go from crisis to crisis because both parties don't have the titans to work together and move forward and each just makes excuses for it. >> chris, are both sides just making excuses, do you agree it is a bipartisan issue? >> it's difficult to argue with anything the congressman said and i think from the standpoint

of the overall appointments, what it requires is both sides to work together. sort what have bill clinton did after republicans took over congress in 194. he came to the middle, he put forward more bipartisan and moderate appointees and he was able to get them nominated. unfortunately the bap administration has done the opposite. they've moved more to the left and tried to do more things through executive order. and i think tohose are things that have caused this kind of scrutiny. a pew poll blames republicans for failing to work with the president. could this heard republicans as they taept attempt to improve t brands? >> i'm most concerned where it will hurt america. i can remember after i left the navy and i had been in the houts just about two months, and i walked into the republican cloak room to see duncan hunter, the

senior duncan can hunter now retired, because i wanted to work on armed service.can hunte retired, because i wanted to work on armed service.an hunter retired, because i wanted to work on armed service.n hunter retired, because i wanted to work on armed service. hunter n retired, because i wanted to work on armed service. i felt like an alien. during that period of time i never saw a republican come into the democratic cloak room. the real issue is this. i could sit here and give you litany on one side or the other side to say what's wrong. but the fact is that we have lost that type of accountable leadership that we need to move this nation forward. it's just the hatfields and mccoys. and the issue is it's gotten so bad and it can't right now because we have competition around the world for jobs like with china and even emerging mexico. we have a lot to do. we just have to stop this and do something better than the types of leadership we have there today. >> chris, if the admiral is an alien as he just self described, don't we need more aliens and who are those aliens on the republican side that can make that difference that the admiral is suggesting is needed? >> i think the admiral's background speaks to that.

a military background certainly prepares to you work with anybody. and i'll point to someone with a similar background, joe heck from nevada has done a lot along these lines. just nominated for brigadier general yesterday. and he's done a lot to try to reach out. and that's the sort of leadership that military background that i think does provide for someone who looks to work with the other side, looks just to be able to win and be victorious and make sure that we're able to bring those jobs home as the congressman just stated. and that really does trance kre transcend party. >> record number of delays in nominations so far in this president's administration. thank you both. you have a good week end. new developments on the handling of the attack on the u.s. embassy in benghazi. an ad reportedly nixed because the romney campaign feared it would distract voters from the

economy. >> 3:00 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. but there is a phone in the white house and it's ringing. something's happening in the world. >> on thursday, secretary of state john kerry said anyone guilty of wrongdoing would be disciplined appropriately. >> i will tell you this. the state department will leave no stone unturned. and i absolutely am determined that this issue will be

answered, will be put to bed. >> meanwhile house speaker john boehner calling for the release of state department e-mails from the day after the attack. he says they will prove the administration suspected isz lambic extremists from the start. >> somebody clearly decided they didn't like the references to islamic terrorism. and made changes in this document. the american people deserve the truth. and they will get the truth. >> the white house says wednesday's hearing on benghazi covered old ground and as a result republicans trying to politicize that attack. well it's being called one of the most brazen computer crimes ever. $45 million drained from atms all around in just hours. mandy drury is here with what's moving your money. those are big numbers. >> and it was highly sophisticated. it involved 27 countries.

hackers used computers and the internet obviously tin the plac of guns and mafbsks. they hacked in will to global financial institutions, stole prepaid debit card numbers and also eliminated the maximum withdrawal limits. so they could take whatever they wanted and however much they wanted. the stolen data was then transmitted and you would around the world where others encode that had data on to magnetic strips and then they began withdrawing money from atms. here in new york city alone, a team eight made 29d 00 withdrawals stealing about $2.4 million. and it feels like -- makes me feel vulnerable when you realize there are people out there have sophisticated means. >> and i have to lean back for this next story a little bit. mother's day is around the corner and there are people having deals out there to get mom out for a deal. even hooter's? >> yeah, moms eat free. maybe some moms like it.

i don't know. but you might know it's struggling for some time now to attract the female customer particularly moms. but this mother's day does hope to lure mothers nationwide by offering free entrees worth up to ten bucks. you have to bring along a kid, ie probably a grown kid i'm going to guess. and you have to buy a drink to get this offer. hooters has offered free wings on special occasions before, but i think this is the chain's first freebie offer on a variety of entrees and the first year that they have sold entree salads which it also hopes will attract the more health minded woman. all i'm going to say is if my kids take me to hooters on sunday, i'm disowning them. >> there you go. you're a mom. happy mother's day. >> thank you. >> mandy drury, thank you. social security administration's annual list of top baby names is out. coming in at number five, william for boys, ava for girls, know a and onoah and olivia, et

boston police commissioner testified that the fbi did not tell boston police that they had received warnings about tamerlan tsarnaev back in 2011. joe lieberman testified leaving the police out of the loop was a big mistake. >> i believe that though it would not have been easy, it was possible to have prevented the terrorist attacks in boston. >> let's bring in terrorism analyst and former white house counterterrorism official roger pressey. what's your reaction to what lieberman said there? >> well, the senator has been a strong advocate for homeland security for many years. but that's a broad sweeping generalization that frankly any of us could make. and i'm not sure how helpful or constructive it was. i think what commissioner david from boston police said was upn the. had they seen the investigatifo would they have investigated, of course. but would it change anything, he

said i'm not sure. the guardian system, the fbi database that is accessible at the joint terrorism task forces, that boston police who are on the task force could doctor seen if they chose to or if it was highlighted to them. i still come back to the basic issue which is the fbi did its preliminary inquiry, they did not find anything derogatory, and that's when their process stopped. they did the right thing up to that point. the question is was there any additional information that would could have been brought into the system that would have had it taken to the next level in terms of more interviews or more surveillance of the tsarnaev brothers. >> and to the point you were bringing up, the fbi did release a statement and it reads boston jttf members were provided instruction on using guardian including methods on reviewing and establishing customized searches of all activity that may affect boston.

so alluding to the proper process. you believe they went through the steps. the question is did they use guardian as they could have or as they might have. >> and also was there any other type of interaction within the jttf that would have flagged tsarnaev in a way that based on the limited information they had would have caused them to look at him any deeper. and based on everything we've seen so far, the answer is no. so then the question becomes can we improve what i'll call vertical information sharing at the federal, state and local level. but again, coy back to there was not enough derogatory information in the system that would have led the jttf to take additional action. >> you've been watching this there in d.c., the debate on the hill. when we look at congressman bennie thompson, for instance, he said that they need here is what he says to find a way to fix and integrate the various databases. fixing again the question. if it does need to be fixed, how

daunting of a task is it. >> so actually the databases are working pretty well right now. your day it base is only as good as the information you put into it. there are over two dozen different databases that the u.s. counterterrorism community uses when it comes to looking at terrorist threats. and the accessibility of those databases is light years better than it was years ago. the question i think, is there anything else that can be done to improve it to the next level. but there are guidelines within which law enforcement operates. there is attorney guidelines that drives how the fbi does investigations. maybe we need to take a look at those and see should they be broadened at all based on what happened in boston. but there are privacy and civil liberty issues associated with it. so it's not an easy one off trade. >> thank you so much as we watch again the hearings and discussions there post gsh boston bombings. today's tweet of the day comes from denis leary. he tweets instead of monday morning qbing, here is a way to

help heal boston. he included a link to a food tasting next week that raises money for the one fund. ng, will? nah. okay. this, won't take long will it? no, not at all. how many of these can we do on our budget? more than you think. didn't take very long, did it? this spring, dig in and save. that's nice. post it. already did. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. show mom why you're her favorite, with a 12" infinity color bowl, a special buy at just $14.98.

hoo-hoo...hoo-hoo. hoo-hoo hoo. sir... he included a link to a food heeheehee. jimmy: ronny, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? ronny:i'd say happier than the pillsbury doughboy on his way to a baking convention. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

just getting in breaking news, hearing from the attorney general of ohio, mike dewine, announcing that the preliminary results of sdchltdna testing in connection with the cleveland rape suspect ariel castro does confirm the 6-year-old girl born in captivity to one of the kidnapping victims does show castro is the father. so again, the ohio attorney general, mike dewine, saying that dma tena testing confirms castro is the father of the 6-year-old girl born in captivity to amanda berry. just getting that in to us. we'll continue to follow that for you. all right. she is the main disney character

in the first feminist princess movie, but now causing an uproar online. the animated film brave, described as independent with realistic body type who doesn't need a depend on a prince. so it seems suiting the red headed heroin will be crowned disney's 11th princess tomorrow. but hang on. meredith has undergone a bit of a makeover for her big day. complete with a slimmed down look with wider eyes and new glamorous hair do. and not all parents are happy about that. joining me is vanessa bush, essence magazine, and business journalist for the orlando sentinel, beth, who has questioned the makeover in her writings. have necessaryvanessa, 40,000 pe signed a petition opposing the makeover overall. disney says she exinch pli guy s

exemplifies what it means to be a disney princess through being brave, passionate and confident. what do you make of the makeover? >> i think that every brand evolves. and so this is part of that evolution and only time will tell how she'll be perceived and received. it's just a part of natural evolution of a brand. >> beth, in your latest column, you describe it like this, you say, off the shoulder gown, eye liner, lipstick, wild red curlses, tamed in to voluminous sexy locks, a coy expression enhanced by her new fuller lips. that's what you wrote. what kind of message do you think that this makeover that we've been discussing sends? >> i think we have to be really aware of the messages we are sending to the littlest girls who are disney's main cap stiti

audiences. and i think we're seeing an attempt by can disney to glam up the princesses. if you look at the way they look on a lot 6 mof marketing materi they don't look how they looked in the actual film. so i think we're seeing an attempt to try to capture an older audience. >> not all parents are upset about the change. for instance, christine cook with a blog says mothers are overreacting to the makeover and she writes certainly this type of thing is subjective, but i'm having trouble seeing the scandal here. are parents overreacting? >> i won't say parents are ov overreacti overreacting, but i to think parents have a responsibility to kind of monitor the messages that are out there and what their children are exposed to. and so the best thing to do i think is just kind of see what they're watching, make sure you're keeping an eye on it and then if they have questions, to be there to talk about it.

>> beth, there have been other makeover, rainbow bright got one. so did candy did the laland. when you look at those makeovers, how does it compare to those? >> i think what's really important about brave particularly is that moms and kids really embraced this princess, the fill hm film is c you haven't seen it. she's strong, she's confident. and she actually looks like the teenager she's supposed to be. and i think that's why this was disappointing for a lot of parents out there. because now we're seeing her take on much older look. and it's a departure from how she looked in the film and i think that's what really has thrown people off. >> has it thrown you off at all, beth? you're saying it's just a progression of a brand, progression of a character here. and so isn't it just that?

>> i mean, it's exactly what i said. it's an evolution. >> but is it too much? you look at the befores and afters, is it too big of a step? >> i don't think that's for me to say. i think it's for each parent to junk for themselves. you know what you find acceptable and what you don't and if you don't find it acceptable, then you move on to something else. >> thank you both very much. that wraps up this hour. thomas roberts is up next. [ male announcer ] this is bob,

a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions,

bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.
