good morning. welcome to "the early show." i'm julie chen along with harry smith. maggie rodriguez is on assignment. >> good morning, julie. >> ahead this morning, we'll talk to two of amanda knox's sisters. they're in italy, and they just visited with amanda this morning at the jail where she's being held in the murder of her roommate. we'll tell you what amanda had to say to them. also coming up this morning, kids heading off to day camp today. maybe your kids are away at camp this summer. what about the h1n1 virus? what about the swine flu? how is this going to affect them, and how much should you be worried about it? we'll tell you more about that in just a little bit. but first, southwest airlines is inspecting all of its boeing 737 jets after one had to make an emergency landing last night because of a hole in its fuselage. cbs news transportation correspondent nancy cordes has

the story. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning, julie. this was a frightening experience. 131 people on that southwest flight from nashville to baltimore last night, a boeing 737 300 that was just half an hour from its destination when passengers heard a loud pop, and air suddenly started rushing out of the cabin. >> in this instance, when the hole happened, it obviously depressurized the cabin, so the oxygen masks would deploy. so that happened. and then the captain has to take the airplane to a safe altitude. and then we diverted, we made the option to divert and get the plane on the ground as quickly as possible. >> the pilot brought the plane down safely in charleston, west virginia, where it turned out a football-sized piece of its upper hull had just peeled away. a passenger took a picture of it. none of the 131 people on board was hurd, and so far the cause of the incident is a mystery.

southwest has 181 boeing 737 300s. they comprise about a third of its fleet. the airline plan to conduct a cursory inspection of all of them by this morning, so it should not disrupt service today. both the faa and the ntsb investigating this situation, julie. >> incredible. nancy cordes. thanks, nancy. now let's head back to new york and harry. >> all right, julie. the heat is on for the obama administration, and with a list of to-dos growing by the day, his poll numbers are going down. in fact, a new cbs poll shows mr. obama's approval rating has dropped six points in the last month to 57%. approval for his handling of the economy is also down a lot, down to 48%. cbs news chief washington correspondent and host of "face the nation" bob schieffer joins us for some analysis. good morning, bob. >> good morning, harry. >> can we blame this all on the economy? >> i think so. i think it's the economy and the economy and the economy. i mean, one of the most interesting numbers in this

poll, harry, to me was that nearly 7 out of 10 people have some concern about losing their jobs. now, when you have that kind of a number there where that many people are uncertain about whether they're going to lose their job, there's no way the president's approval rating is going to stay very high. it's still well over 50%. he's a long way from being unpopular. but he's done the stimulus package. he's embarked on all these different programs to improve the economy, but so far, apparently, most people do not see the impact on that. they do not think it's affecting their lives. and i think that's what this is and nothing more. >> do you think they got it wrong? vice president joe biden in an interview said, we miscalculate howed ba the economy was going to be. there's an op ed piece by mort zuckerman in "the washington post" this morning saying the economy is much worse than people realized.

is it too early to say, or is it possible that this administration just didn't get this right? >> you know, i kind of agree with joe biden in this sense. i think the economy was worse than they said it was, but maybe they didn't want to say how bad that it really was. maybe that's the question here. but i mean, you know, you can go around and talk about wors ads all of that, but when you come down to it, the economy is in terrible shape. it was in terrible shape. we've gotten the credit markets back a little better than what they were. but just as far as the impact on these people's personal lives, they're not seeing any improvement yet. what barack obama has got to see here, he's launched all these programs, but people need to see that they're having some impact. >> and very, very quickly, will this worsening economy make it harder for this president especially to get healthcare through? you said yesterday he was nominating his surgeon general, don't count us out. don't bet against us. won't this just make this that

much harder? >> you think it will be with and i think it's pretty well a consensus around washington now, he's not going to get this done by the august recess, which was sort of the deadline they set. i think healthcare is in big trouble right now. it's an open question as to whether he's going to get anything. >> bob schieffer, thanks. >> thanks, harry. a fourth arrest has been made in the shocking murder of a florida couple who had adopted a dozen disabled children. cbs news correspondent terrell brown has the very latest from ú pensacola, florida. good morning, terrell. >> reporter: julie, good morning to you. you know, it was via traffic stop. the sheriff says it was by mere happenstance that led them to their latest suspect, and it's just one more clue in the mysterious murders of melissa and byrd billings. >> we have another man in custody in the deaths of byrd and melanie billings. >> reporter: gary lamont sumner is the fourth person arrested in

connection with the shooting deaths of the pensacola couple, the third person charged with their murder. 30-year-old sumner has been identified as one of the men in this photo, seen leaving a local walmart with alleged co-conspirator leonard gonzalez jr. >> we have placed him at the scene of the crime. >> reporter: the scene is this house. home surveillance tapes show them walking in minutes before the billings were murdered. >> we expect more arrests to be imminent. >> reporter: the slain parents of 17 were killed thursday. by midday investigators say they expect to arrest another suspect later today. in all, as many as eight people may have been involved in the murders. robbery has been listed as one motive, but the investigation is far from over. and you know what, as we move forward here, there are going to be funeral services scheduled for the family on friday morning. there have been lots of questions about the children. the sheriff says the children are doing just fine. julie? >> cbs' terrell brown. thanks, terrell. also joining us from pensacola

is escambia county sheriff david morgan. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> this robbery has been named as one of the motives. can you tell us if there was indeed money or valuables or anything for that matter taken from the home of byrd and melinda billings? >> upon advice of the attorney general's office at this time, julie, we're not releasing that information. the reason being, while we're still in the process of interviewing additional suspects, the information on what was removed from the house can be critical during the questioning phase to tie someone to a particular place at a particular time. >> let me ask you this. did the billings know any of those arrested or any of those you hope to arrest down the road? >> we believe that there have been some associations with the billings family, casual associations, meaning no close family friends that we've been able to develop at this time. but there may have been just a kind of a causal relationship, if you will. >> what is believed to be the

other motive in this case besides robbery, sir? >> these are kind of ancillary things that fall out of an investigation. i guess probably the best example would be in its most simplistic mode, let's say you're burglarized tonight by someone who has a drug addiction. you can easily say that burglary was to secure you money to buy drugs. but in this case, we can ramp this up several rungs, if you will, and say, well, the robbery may have been the main focus. but let's say, again, just for the sake of discussion, the robbery was to secure large sums of money, and this money may have gone to someone else for other means. that's why the complexity is a little bit staggering. >> you said yesterday at the news conference that the home invasion looked like it was well planned and methodical. do you think the suspects went into the home with the intent to murder the billings in addition to robbing them? >> that is an excellent theory, julie, and we are developing that as one of many.

again, that may be one of the other motives. >> did any of the children see or hear the slayings, sir? >> we are not prepared to release that information at this time. again, we're considering the family and the family's feelings. we are hoping at the conclusion of this investigation that we can truly do a full and open disclosure to the public. >> looking at the surveillance video outside the billings' home, it looks like the suspects entered during daylight hours. was that the case? >> yes. down here, of course, because of the season that we're in, it doesn't get dark until 8:00, 8:30. so, yes, it was very light outside when they entered. >> sheriff david morgan, we wish you the best of luck with this investigation. we thank you for your time. >> thank you, ma'am. >> now here's lonnie quinn filling in for dave price with a first check of the weather. good morning. >> good morning to you, julie. good morning, everybody. here we are. it is julyl@l@l@l@he 14th, and portions of michigan, grayling,

michigan, this morning, you're starting off in the 30s. it's going to warm up for you, but not so much. temperatures maxing out in the 70s. portions of florida. moving through the midwest, minnesota into portions of iowa even over to around milwaukee, strong storms out there. we're talking about pretty good sizeded hail, wind gusts, 50, 60 miles an hour. a lot of lightning storms as well. big-time heat continues from texas and through the southwest. temperatures at 100, 110, maybe a little bit more. phoenix yesterday 113

traders say that goldman capitalized on the upheaval in the markets to make a fortune, trading bonds, also trading currencies and commodities, and it could mean a big payday for employees. in fact, bonuses could average $600,000 an employee with the top producers in the millions. russ, back to you? >> christmas in july. bloomberg tv's diedre lton, thank you. supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor is facing tough questions from republicans this morning in her second day of senate confirmation hearings. yesterday in her opening statement before the senate judiciary committee, judge sotomayor sought to blunt concerns she'd be an activist judge. >> in the past month, many senators have asked me about my judicial philosophy. simple, fidelity to the law. >> republican senators say they plan to try to raise doubts about her impartiality, but most concede she will likely be confirmed. >> unless you have a complete

meltdown, you're going to get confirmed. >> and if confirmed, sotomayor becomes the court's first hispanic justice. it is now coming up on 7:18. here's harry. >> joining us now to discuss how judge sotomayor did on her first day is former u.s. attorney general alberto gonzales. good morning. >> good morning. >> did you get a chance to watch? >> i watched part of it, yes. >> what did you think? >> yesterday was really a day of speeches. i think you had the opportunity to see the road map, i think, republicans intend to follow in questioning judge sotomayor. obviously, it's the first time the public has heard from judge sotomayor with respect to some of the comments that have been troubling to some republicans. and so i think the next few days will be quite revealing. we'll see what happens. >> because she pledged her fidelity to the law. she said, my personal and professional experiences help me to listen and understand with the law always commanding the result in every case. is that going to make any difference to republicans what she says and her track record?

>> not that single statement. i think the next few days republicans are going to really inquire into the comments she's made in the past, in terms of the "wise latina" comment, they have a serious question as to whether she can be impartial. in one speech she talked about the fact that impartiality is an aspiration, perhaps it's an unrealistic aspiration. i think that's troubling to some republicans. >> should she, can she divorce who she is from the judgment she makes while sitting as a judge? >> i use to be a judge. i know we're all affected by our experienced. a good judge, i believe, comes to the bench very sensitive to those biases. when they analyze a case, they try to set those biases aside and make sure they're applying the law. that should be the reality in every case, not an aspiration. >> senator lindsey graham said, unless you have a meltdown, you're going to get confirmed. so is this all theater then, or is this a process that should

literally be paid attention to? >> this is a lifetime appointment. she will be making decisions that affect the lives of millions of americans for decades. so i think the members of the senate have taken oath of office to the constitution and to the american people to ensure this is a person that should serve on the supreme court. it's more than theater. i think it's a learning experience, a teaching experience. >> i'm going to talk about dick cheney and this news of the last couple of days that he actual y actually -- it's not clear. asked the cia to keep quiet a notion of trying to find a means to which to assassinate certain members of al qaeda. the cia, leon panetta basically dismembered the program as soon as he learned about it a couple of weeks ago. but there's this notion that there was this sort of secret program that was kept under a cloak on purpose. do you have any knowledge of it? >> listen, it's very difficult to talk about classified activity ins an unclassified

setting. i believe general mike hayden, who was the most previous recent head of the cia and head of the national security agency in 2001 has come out and said that no one ever told him not to go brief the congress when there was a legal requirement to do so. so my experience in dealing with the last administration was that we tried to work as hard as we could with congress in making sure they understood what was going on in the executive branch subject to the need to protect the national security of our country. >> alberto gonzales, thank you for your time this morning. we'll be right back. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by the national association of realtors. buying or selling a home? every market's different.

only way to stop crime from continuing behind bars. maryland has had several high- profile cases including drug dealer patrick byer using a cell phone from inside prison to order the murder of carl lackl about to testify against him. 26 others states are also in favor of this legislation. don. >> thank you very much. southwest airlines mechanics are hard at work examining nearly 200 planes after a scary incident over west virginia. investigators say the plane was on its way from nashville to bwi thurgood marshall when a hole opened up in its fuselage. the plane made an emergency landing in charleston, west virginia. nobody was hurt. the airline is looking at all its 737s as a precaution. the baltimore raven may be leaving the nest for good during the offseason. after meeting with team officials, derrick mason made a retirement announcement on a web site. some skeptics say the announcement may be a negotiating tactic as mason was looking for a new contract. stay with wjz 13, maryland's news station. amanda knox marked her 22nd birthday inside an italian

prison. her sisters talk about the trial.

i knew it, christmas in july. we'll get back to that later. it's a beautiful morning here in new york city. welcome back to "the early show." in this half hour, a reported deal worth $4 million may head off a custody fight over michael jackson's three kids. we'll bring you the latest on the jackson case. julie? also coming up, protecting your kids from the h1n1 virus while they're away at summer camp. we're going to have tips that every family should know. but first, amanda knox marked her 22nd birthday last thursday and her second behind bars in perugia, italy, where she's charged with the murder of her roommate. meanwhile, earlier today knox

got a jailhouse visit from her two sisters. 14-year-old ashley knox, and 20-year-old deanna knox visited their sister this morning in the perugia jail, where she has been held since november 2007. knox has been on trial since january, along with her former italian boyfriend rafael. the two are charged with sexually assaulting and murdering knox's 21-year-old briltish roommate meredith kircher. knox has maintained her innocence throughout the trial and last week seemed to catch a break in her defense. a coroner testified that a knife believed to be the murder weapon is not compatible with the victim's stab wound. he also testified that there is no evidence that kircher was assaulted by more than one person. hearings resume friday and saturday then break for a two-month summer recess. today may be the last time that amman dan knox's sisters will see her before the court verdict. they join us this morning from outside the jail in perugia, where amanda is being held. ladies, good morning. >> good morning.

>> deanna, let me begin with you. how is your sister amanda doing this morning? >> she's good. she's happy to see us. she described herself as tranquil today. the only sadart was the fact that we had to say good-bye. >> i can imagine. ashley, how was that for you, having to say good-bye to your sister? what did you girls talk about? >> it was really sad for me. i was sad that we couldn't see her again, but hopefully we can see her home soon. >> yeah, i know that's what your whole family is wishing for. last week, i imagine, was very emotional, deanna, because it was your sister's 22nd birthday. how exactly did your family celebrate her birthday with her? >> well, it happened to be a visitation day on her birthday that day. so amanda was able to bring in cake and juice because ashley's

a minor. so we sang her happy birthday as she walked in and ate cake with her. it was only one hour, but we got to spend her birthday with her. >> did authorities tell you what you were not allowed to bring in during that visit? >> well, we're not allowed to bring anything to amanda personally. we're allowed to put things in packages like food or clothes, and we brought her presents from the family like clothes, and we mailed letters. but we can't bring anything to her personally. >> how was she emotionally on that day, on her birthday? >> well, i mean, i know she was sad that it was her birthday again. she told all of us that she didn't want to spend another birthday in jail. she always finds a way to be happy. she was still smiling. >> ashley, what was it like for you to see your sister behind bars on her birthday? what did you say to her? >> i first told her happy

birthday, and i told her that i loved her. and hopefully she won't spend another one there, and we'll celebrate it when we get home -- when she gets home. >> deanna, can you describe what the last two years has been like for your family, seeing amanda accused of stand trial for such a horrific crime? >> i'd describe it as being very surreal. it's almost not real because it's lasted for so long. it's very odd. i'm still not used to walking into the courtroom and people are taking pictures of our entire family and my sister. it's still very odd. so i'm just hoping it ends soon. >> and finally, deanna, after a few more court proceedings this week, amanda has to sit and wait until september for her trial to resume. what's going to happen during that two-month period? are you guys going to be able to see her? is she just going to have to sit

and wait by herself in jail? what happens? >> during the two-month wait, she still has visitation so people can come see her in the jail. me and ashley are leaving on thursday. today was our last day we could see her. but there are no court dates. it's just regular we have two days a week that we can come see her. >> ashley and deanna knox, we thank you ladies. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. now let's head back to new york where lonnie quinn has another check of the weather. good morning again, lonnie. >> good morning to you, julie. good morning, everybody. we have damaging winds out there for the areas north of the twin cities, to the@a@ae areas of des moines. what kind of wds am i talking about? wind gusts today up to around 60 miles per hour in that area, also a lot of hail involved in that system and a lot of lightning as well. let's take a look at the big national picture because outside of that front i'm pointing out in the midwest, that's about the only game in town. we do have a few pop-up showers

and storms around florida. you guys expect that this time of year. up around northern new england, little bit of leftover moisture. otherwise, look at that. that is a good looking picture. not too much actity. san francisco yesterday, you hit 87 degrees. today a simil our area this morning is so pleasant. humidity is under 60%. take a look at the forecast today. i mean we are talking 86. by the way, the normal is about 8. so we are pretty close to normal. mostly sunny. shade clouds. partly cloudy. 58 tonight. tomorrow, mostly sunny. it will start getting warmer feeling and noticeably more humid, stuffy tomorrow and on thursday. a look at how we clear it out for the weekend with sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s. >> all right, everybody. wherever you are -- and i do care -- i hope you're having a great looking day. >> thanks. up next, the possible battle

over custody of michael jackson's children may be over before it started. we'll have details when we come back. now at chili's -- welcome to chili's. start your three-course meals with a shared appetizer. for a second course, choose two entrees from over 15 chili's favorites, like our big mouth bites -- the mini burgers with giant layers of flavor. or a half-rack of our triple-basted baby back ribs. then save some room to share a decadent dessert. a lot of bold flavors, for a limited time only. chili's -- not treating is not an option. all prescription nsaid pain relievers, like celebrex, ibuprofen and naproxen, help treat arthritis pain and have some of the same warnings. but since individual results may vary,

having options is important. prescription celebrex has been the option for millions of patients for 10 straight years. just one 200-mg celebrex (once a day,) can provide dependable, 24-hour relief for many with arthritis pain, stiffness and inflammation. based on the available data, the fda stated that for certain patients celebrex's benefits outweigh the risks. if you are worried about stomach upset, you should know, in clinical studies, a lower percentage of patients taking celebrex reported stomach discomfort versus prescription ibuprofen and naproxen. and if you are taking low-dose aspirin for your heart and need an nsaid pain reliever, celebrex can be used because it doesn't interfere with the effects of low-dose aspirin. but when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. the fda requires all prescription nsaids, including celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam, to have the same cardiovascular warning.

they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors for it such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. all prescription nsaids, including celebrex, also increase the chance of serious skin reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if youe allergic to aspirin or sulfonamides. ask your doctor if you could benefit from celebrex. understand the risks. feel the benefits.

is there a big money deal this morning between debbie rowe and michael jackson's family over custody of his kids? cbs news correspondent michelle guillen has the story. good morning. >> michael jackson's will stipulated that his mother katherine get custody of the children, but the court only awarded her temporary control. that left the door open for a bruising custody battle, and the wild card in the equation was debbie rowe. >> do not touch me! >> nobody touched you here. >> you just did! >> debbie rowe, the former dental assistant who bore michael jackson's two children had reportedly sold her custody rights in exchange for a big payout before. now papers say she's done it again, agreeing to forego a custody battle in exchange for

in this morning's "healthwatch," the latest on the h1n1 virus and summer camp. younger people appear to be especially vulnerable to this flu, which is of great concern to many who run the camps. our dr. jennifer ashton is here with more. good morning. >> good morning, harry. most summer camp injuries can be fixed with a band-aid and some rest, camps around the nation this year are experiencing a new health challenge, the h1n1 virus. at blue star camp in north carolina, 13-year-old nicky jaffe experienced something more than home sickness this year. >> i drank out of my friend's water bottle, and she warned me she wasn't feeling so well. the next day she ended up going to the health center, and she had the flu. >> the h1n1 virus had come to this summer camp nestled in the blue ridge mountains.

35 of blue star's 650 campers were believed to be infected. >> i had a really bad headache, and i just -- i felt -- i just didn't feel good overall. i was coughing a lot. >> reporter: the infected campers were isolated and put on anti-viral medication after experiencing flu-like symptoms. >> they would come in the first day with about 101. they would sleep most of that day, take the tami-flu. the third day they would want to go back to camp. >> reporter: more than 50 camps nationwide have reported outbreak. and the cdc is reporting infections between 5 and 24 more than any other group, making campers vulnerable. >> kids are very, very close, and they're in small cabins. they have limited ability to wash their hands. >> reporter: the h1n1 virus forced this camp in missouri to close for a week after campers and staff got sick. and camps specifically designed

for kids with special health concerns like asthma shut their cabin doors before any campers arrived due to health concerns. at blue star camp, they have learned their lesson. campers showing up with fevers are sent home. and for campers like 8-year-old mason redler, the message is have fun but be careful. >> use anti-bacterial and wash your hands. >> are you going to be careful, mason? >> i'll try my best. >> the cdc recommends that all camps participate in active screening. so don't be alarmed and be honest if your camp or summer school asks if your child has had any flu-like symptoms in the past seven days. harry? >> if my kid is away at camp, at sleepaway, and the camp calls and says, we think your kid has the flu, should i go get them? or if the camp is willing to let them stay in the infirmary, let them stay there?

>> you have to communicate with the camp and the medical personnel. from a public health perspective, it might be better to keep the child isolated, quarantined there until the symptoms pass, rather than bring them home and expose them to more people. >> should i be afraid of this if my kid's going to day camp? >> no more than you were at the end of the school year or in the fall. it's contagious but mild. >> this whole notion that people are wanting their kids to be exposed or wanting to be exposed in hopes it helps develop immunity? >> i don't think we're seeing h1n1 parties yet. the immune principle applies, if you get it now, you tend to be protected and possibly for the fall. >> these kids who get sick at camp may end up with a lucky break. dr. jennifer ashton, thanks. still to come, the lovely and talented emma watson of harry potter fame. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. >> announcer: "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by one a day womens

a lot of the parents out of work. let's do something good for the kiddies. that's what "g-force" is. >> you've been working on another movie for nicolas cage. >> sorcerer's apprentice for disney. and we have another movie coming out next year. >> do you ever stop? >> not enough time. we're doing another "pirates" with johnny depp. he's decided to come back and play captain jack. >> nothing better. he's so good at that. we're always happy for your success and enjoy having you stop by and share your stories. >> thank you so much. always good to be here. >> there you go. this is what you want. you want jerry bruckheimer to touch you because everything he touches turns to gold. >> there you go. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, harry. >> "g-force" opens nationwide on july 24th in 2d and disney 3-d formats. you're going to want to watch it. >> and you didn't even mention all the cbs shows, "csi,"

"amazing race." he doesn't sleep. he must have cloned himself. thanks a lot, harry. we turn now to a truly inspirational story about a little girl with a big, big heart who's trying to change the world one greeting card at a time. 7-year-old isabelle redford lives in a tiny town, but her view of the world is larger than life. >> my mom told me a story about two little orphan girls. their momma died while they were being born. >> stories like that inspired isabelle to want to help, so she started selling handmade greeting cards. isabelle's hard work paid off. in less than a year, she raised more than $5,000, enough money to build an orphanage in haiti. isabelle shared a lot with the orphans, a love of jump rope, soccer, and hide and seek. and what she found was she didn't just build them a new home. she built new relationships. >> i met my six girls who are

living in my home right now and lots of other fun kids, and one even made me a necklace. >> now, two years after she started this project, builders are breaking ground on a second home in malawi, africa. >> she's got a huge heart. so for me, just sitting back and watching her, i see all of it kind of coming together. i feel like it's just getting ready to explode. i feel like this is just the beginning. >> and joining us now is isabelle redford, her parents kelly and kevin, and michael fox from the global orphan project, the charity that sells isabelle's cards. good morning. how are you doing? >> good. >> good. you look good. you happen to be on tv this morning. >> yeah. >> yeah, i guess. so how old are you now? >> 7 1/2. >> 7 1/2. well, you're pretty old. how old were you when you first made your first card? >> 5. >> 5. and so your mom is reading you a

story, and you said what? what did you think? >> i thought they really did need a house. i just wanted to make a difference because they did need help. i thought that was what i wanted to do. >> but you're a little kid. little kids can't make a difference, can they? >> they can. >> they can? yeah? so, mom, isabelle makes the card. whose idea was it to sell the cards? >> well, she wanted to try to raise money to build a house. so we started brainstorming, and she came up with the idea to draw. she loves to do art. we came up with the idea to draw cards. we just decided to call some friends and family and say, she wants to sell her cards to try to make some money. >> i think i would probably buy anything that you made. i think it helps to be that charming. but these cards are very sweet. they're very, very sweet. i guess it's one thing to think

something like this and open a lemonade stand or who knows what. how did this then progress beyond just a kid's idea, a kid's fantasy, so to speak? >> it really was one card at a time. we started telling our friends. their friends started telling other friends. before we knew it, she had raised $5,000. we were getting checks from people we didn't even know. >> right. and then how did you figure out, kevin, to go to haiti to do a building? >> just through other friends that were involved with the global orphan project, and they just had shared what they were doing. and that's kind of how it all started pretty much. >> you went to haiti then? >> uh-huh. >> what's it like to be able to see a building that you helped build and with people in it? >> it was really amazing. i loved it. i was happy that someone got a

new home. >> did you make some new friends there? >> i made a lot of new friends. >> you made a lot of new friends. and so now you're trying to raise money to build another building, and this one's in africa? have you been there yet? >> no. >> not yet. if the building goes up, are you going to try and go? >> maybe. >> you should try and go, i think, right? >> yeah. >> will this go on and on, michael? >> absolutery, it will. >> what made you decide to hook up with these guys? >> you know, when we started the global orphan project, we really did think that we would have different people in different lives get involved in this. probably didn't envision a 7-year-old. you just can't thwart the enthusiasm of someone like this that wants to get involved and make a difference. since then, since isabelle's story, we've had hundreds, maybe a thousand different people that have started to do things differently to help support these orphan children. >> smaller ways. >> small and big. small and big. we have business owners that are dedicating a percentage of their

profits to build more homes. >> isn't that something? >> we have family reunions that are coming together and collecting their resources to build homes. we have college girls that have banded together to do -- well, we've got a group at the university of missouri that's banding together to build a school for orphan children in malawi. all of this stimulated by caring for these children around the world. >> isabelle, do you know what it means to have a good heart? you have a good heart, don't you? yeah. what a sweetheart. thanks for letting isabelle come over and see us this morning. sure appreciate it. >> thank you. >> you can stay on the couch and hang out with us, whatever you want to do. what a smile. unbelievable. thank you all for coming. if you'd like some more information on the global orphan project and how you can help, all you have to do is go to our website, that's earlyshow.cbsnews.com. now here's lonnie with a final check of the weather. what nobody knows is that during the commercial break, little isabelle came out all by

herself, harry, snugged up on the couch with you. i'm watching the two of you bond. she is cute as can be. look at that. a smile that lights up the screen. speaking about a smile in our house here, i'm with the birthday girl. what is your name? >> hope. >> hope, where are you from? >> roanoke, virginia. >> it's happy birthday for pu p it's okay to ask you how many. >> 15. >> that's a good one for you. happy birthday to you. we've got snickers here on the plaza with us as well. i'm look here at my little notes. apparently, snickers is teaming up with feeding america to help bar hunger. let's just say we chat with you. what's your name? >> shannon. >> i understand there's a kickoff event taking place in new york city. what is it? >> we have david arquette, and it's basically a clear box, and he's going to be -- >> wait, david arquette in a box? good. >> what is it called? >> he's spending some time on top of the madison square garden marquee to raise awareness for hunger. snickers is donating 3 million

meals to feeding america. we need everybody's help. >> how can they help? >> go g. to facebook.com/snickers to donate. >> let's get the message out to everybody. here's what i see. a pretty strong front moving through portions of the midwest. the other big story, from texas to the southwest, searing heat today. as you look into tomorrow, searing heat not going anywh simply magnificent in the mid-atlantic this day start. look at the forecast. 86 degrees will be the high. mostly sunny. a couple of passing fair weather shade clouds. clear to partly cloudy tonight. 58 will be your low. tomorrow starts getting a little stuffy with a temperature near 90. rounding up to 90 is not a problem. same deal on thursday. a thunderstorm or two on thursday afternoon. a cold front moving our way. a little breezy. slow clearing friday. 8 of. just a gorgeous weekend -- 86 just a gorgeous weekend

>> i just want to say, if i'm looking a little disheveled, it's because of my friend here at national ice cream month. she said, please come over. i get over to you, and you said, i just wanted to do this. i think she was check to go see if it's real. it is real. hey, that's going to do it for weather out here. harry, in to you. >> the wait is over, and the broomsticks are out as "harry potter and the half-blood prince," the sixth film in the hugely popular series, flies into theaters. once again, emma watson returns as harry's loyal pal hermione granger. >> see that in the back? harry, she's trying to make you

a love potion? >> really? >> hey, she's only interested in you because she thinks you're the chosen one. >> i am the chosen one. sorry. kidding. >> emma watson is here with us this morning. >> i love this one better than all the rest. >> fantastic, thank you. >> i love that you're more grown up, and the interaction with everyone seems -- >> better. i completely agree. this is much more of a romantic comedy than it's ever been. just much more chemistry. much more like interaction between all the students. it's quite different for hermione to play because usually she's this very tough, very stern, girl power. in this one, she's much more fragile, vulnerable. she kind of gets her heart broken a bit. so we really wanted to convey that, and we wanted it to be very easy for teenage girls to relate to her situation. >> in the screening i was in, there were plenty of people of a

certain age there, and they were just so reacting to everything that was unfolding on the stage. here's my question, though. because you and harry are best pals. everybody knows you're best pals forever. why ron? you're the one in the front of the class with the hand up. i know the answer. i know the answer. ron is this sort of -- >> that's why, you know. don't they say that opposites attract? you know, he's good for her. hermione is very serious. and she needs someone to make her a bit more relaxed and fun, and he's the opposite of her. like yin and yang, you nknow, sort of balance. >> is there a part of you -- i remember read be when you first -- you really pursued this part when you were a kid. you said, i've got to have that. >> heavily, yeah. >> has this all turned out the way you had hoped? >> oh, my god. as i had hoped and more. you know, i could never -- no one imagined the success that the films have achieved. i think last year harry potter

is now officially the most successful film franchise of all time. you know, above bond, above star trek, everything, star wars. it's some -- you know, it's been amazing. >> and to you, though, it's interesting because i pick up "vanity fair" the other day, and there you are in a burberry hat, looking spectacular. >> thank you so much. >> did it surprise you? >> yeah, it did actually. a lot of my friends said to me, i didn't recognize you at first. >> right. >> you know, it's so flattering to be able to do it. it's fun to do something a bit different. you know, i've really enjoyed kind of doing a bit of modeling and just -- you know, it's just nice to do something different. >> and different, speaking of different, you're going to go to college this fall. >> i am, in august. >> the united states of america. >> i am coming to the states. >> in new york city? >> if you'll have me. >> in new york city? >> no.

well, i -- >> is it a secret? >> it's a secret, which i keep tripping up. i keep kind of giving away here. no, i'm -- i'm thinking of attending four different universities at the moment. so everyone's guessing. >> so great to see you. >> thank you. you too. >> very great to have you. >> thank you for having me again. >> emma watson, thank you so much. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.
