a bomb explodes at the olympic games in atlanta, georgia. >> at about 1:00 a.m.olice discovered what they said was a suspicious package. authorities said the device appeared to be a pipe bomb loaded with nails and screws designed to penetrate human flesh. >> at the time of the bombing, i was a supervisor on an intelligence detail during the olympics. by the time we heard about the phone-in threat, the device had already detonated. >> the blast injuries 111 people and claims the life of one woman, alice hawthorne, visiting the games with her daughter. >> on the scene, dr. john vogel, a first year resident, tried to resuscitate a woman with a nurse. >> she did the thrusts while i tried to do the mouth to mouth. but it was not successful. >> the bomb in centennial park was the largest pipe bomb in u.s. history. its spew makes a shrapnel predominantly of case hard nails, the masonry nails designed for driving in brick and stone concrete. miss hawthorne was killed when one of the nails struck her in the head. these are traveling at over 2,000 feet per second, so it's

narrator: atlanta is a rapidly growing urban area. its primary source of drinking water is the chattahoochee river, which also provides water to many downstream communities. but its infrastructure is dangerously old, without outdated facilities and combined sewer overflows polluting the watershed. the city faces strict consent decrees and lawsuits, along with a severe lack of funding. man: when i started working for the city of atlanta in the late '70s, we were approaching that point in time where a lot was going to be needed, in terms of rehabilitation and upkeep. most of the very large pipes were at least 80 years old. we had needs that were identified in the '50s and in the '60s and in the '70s that were deferred. woman: we are urging that we all try to find a way to overcome the obstacles and limitations that might exist. woman: when i was running for office, i met someone who knew mayor hartsfield, who, in the late 1960s, said, "i don't know who the next mayor will be, "but i know they'll have to fix the water and sewer infrastru

atlanta, it says here, 105. the temperature now in atlanta has climbed to 106 degrees. that's the hottest ever in atlanta. so we're notd only seeing record-breaking temperatures for the day but this is the all-time record high. we are seeing incredible numbers as the day continues and the heat continues to grow. so watch out for that as we go through the day. some of the other cities. you can see that right now current temperatures are in the triple digits for little rock, memphis, birmingham all the way into atlanta. charlotte, raleigh is at 105 degrees. and the forecast calls for this heat, this large dome of high pressure that worked its way in from colorado. remember we were talking about triple digits there earlier in the week. dropped further to the south and expanded well out there. that's why we're seeing these heat indices all the way up to 115 degrees. when is it going to get out of here? it's not going to happen tomorrow. it is going to take a day or two. even when the temperatures start to cool down a bit we're talking about a drop from 105 to 99. so we're s

weekend trips from atlanta, i realized savannah only four hours from the city.we love is river street. the cobblestone street borders the savannah border. it southern hospital and new orleans feel and street drinks. yes, you can stroll along river street with a beer in your hand. besides beer, there are also tasty restaurants. if you want seafood, i suggest you try fiddlers or tub byes. but if you want to take a break from river street's festivities, walk seven minutes to lady and sons. own by paula dean. pi recommend you try shrimp and greater number of witnesses. if you're looking for a place to stay, you may want to try bohemian hotel right on river street. it is across from the savannah river and world war ii memorial. hotels athrong savannah river are pricey, so i recommend you stay further out of town to save. >> that's river street in savannah georgia, i'm jamie, cnn. >> thanks, jamie. >>> if you don't live in atlanta, savannah is pretty easy to get to. few hours by plane from new york city and that's this week's travel insider. >>> and a mega church past

we'll move on to atlanta, georgia. sam, can you hear us? sam, good morning. okay. we'll try another person are you with us? >> we're thrilled. >> caller: from the offset mr. kelleher said he was not a lobbyist. he said he was working for the public interest and that's why he wasn't a lobbyist. the question is, where are you receiving your funding? we don't lobby. the lobbying is a particularly defined term in the law. our funding comes from a hedge fund manager in atlanta who got involved in the legislative process in '08 in connection with the oil price run-up. i don't know if you remember early '08. but the oil prices went up to the highest at $148 a barrel. and gas prices were going up way over $4 a gallon. and at that point he got involved because he saw, again from atlanta and not wall street, what wall street was doing in the commodity markets. so he got involved in actually testifying in congress, wrote some white papers, did some research. the financial crisis hit and he became involved in financial reform, hired a couple guys out of his own pocket to help

(cheer (cheers) >> the atlanta thunder is one of several teams playing at atlanta's east pointe area children play year round, there are many benefits of being involved, such as making sure to stay good in school. >> make sure that we relate the baseball skills to life skills, so, the hard work, staying-- and the same things in the classroom. biology, you don't get it the first time around, you have to do, read that passage over, that paragraph over and kind of practice. and treat people the way you want to be treated and those are life lessons, not just sports. >> doing good, all a a's and-- >> all a's and high five on that, that's great. baseball is a sport that takes a lot of work. can't sit out a year and expect to get back in the game with the same skill set. like anything in life, it takes practice, determination and a willingness to learn in order to improve and develop. and in atlanta's year round program. coaches believe if you continue to work with kids, it might make a difference. >> you're not just teaching them the fundamentals of baseball, and how to succeed at the game

it is brutal out here, 101 in d.c., 106 in atlanta, that will be the all-time record high.dy done that in columbia, south carolina, nashville, tennessee. these triple digits expand all the way back toward the southwest. how good does seattle look at 70 degrees? as we go into the day sunday, still again just a few isolated thunderstorms right along the northern edge of that ridge where there's just a little bit of weakness. some of us are rooting for thunderstorms but they tend to be strong under this scenario. texas, we'll take whatever we can get. no real changes for the northwest or temperaturewise through time. look at sunday's forecast, the heat just building for some of us, 101 d.c., 91 new york city, 95 chicago. you get the idea, right? 98 in billings, 69, again, very comfortable across the northwest. a lot of these cities flirting with phoenix-like temperatures. into the day monday we go. no changes, again, still cool on the corners, beautiful up and down the west coast. if you're looking for the 60s and 70 s, that doesn't change fr a few days. 97 in dallas, the rain

dennis lockhart is the president of the atlanta federal reserve bank. as a voting member of the fed's policy committee, he is a powerful voice on the economy. in our exclusive interview with him today, he described the u.s. economy as a "mixed pictur" his comments come a week after the fed decided to extend its program to keep long term interest rates low, rather than launch a third round of so- called "quantitative easing", or q.e.3. my first question to why not do more now. >> i don't the conditions yet call for really stronger action. interestingly, the anecdotes are painting a stronger pie thanhe datas i, which is one reason i prefer to wait a little while to see if the data p in itssoftness. don't think the conditions have developedhat ree us to bring out bigger guns quite yet. >> susie: how likely is it that we will see qe 3 by the end of this year? >> it is certainly an option. remains an option on the table, i would say. if the circumstances call for it, the more stimulus could be provided. >> susie: if the unemployment rate goes higher, or stay

you're in atlanta. what are you seeing there as the temperature rises here in atlanta? >> reporter: as you mentioned, one in three americans, if you can believe it, a third of our population affected by this heat. this is just a tough situation to be in. heat is the biggest factor in terms of fatalities. a senior citizen said she is so thankful that atlanta opened this cooling center, otherwise, she wouldn't have known what to have done. >> they are really affected by intense heat. a lot of them don't realize that they are suffering from dehydration. and so to come to a place that is cool, come to a place where there's water provided, come to a place where they don't have to worry about seven or eight hours in 106-degree temperatures is really wonderful. >> reporter: you can see behind me they're still delivering watter to the dozens of people inside that cooling center. this is a recreational center that doubles today as the cooling center. poppy, as you mentioned, of course, throughout the united states and especially in missouri those three death that's could potenti

june measures were broken from atlanta to raleigh.we were still very hot all the way back through kansas and the kansas city. today, heat warnings are in effect for many areas, including the big cities of kansas city, st. louis through louisville, raleigh and richmond and charlotte and south of atlanta. you get the picture it will be another sweatering day. we're expecting 105 to about 106 degrees from atlanta to charlotte and nashville and do it again tomorrow. slightly cooler on sunday. slightly cooler from 105 to say 100. the biggest concern for areas that lost power, check on the elderly today. we don't want them in the heat indoors with no air conditioning and no fans running trying to gut out this heat wave. >> a lot watching there for us, bill karins, there's some record highs in washington, d.c., 104, broke 138--year-old record on ç friday. at least 20 other cities across the country hitting record highs, bowling green, kentucky, all time record there of 110. nashville, 109,ag athens, also 109. to front page politics, a new p

for atlanta, we go from the low triple digits down to around 92 by tuesday. are you going to really tell a difference from that? well, you might just a little bit, but most areas are going to be sweltering for some time. as we go into the next several days, we'll start to see that heat continue to make its way towards the east, but in these orange and pink shaded areas, that's where we've got various heat advisories and heat warnings. essentially, there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere and these temperatures climb up. you'll see relative humidities in 20% to 30%. when you've got triple-digit readgs, that's going to make it awfully difficult to allow your body to cool. so, if you know someone who is compromised, make sure you check on them frequently. also, the animals need a lot more water. take a look at these record temperatures we saw on friday. muscle sholes, alabama, 107 degrees. you have to go back to the 1930s to see temperatures that come even close to that. but the temperature in nashville yesterday, 109 degrees being reported there. that recor

atlanta -- the atlanta sit-ins were led by a 20-year-old college student named julian bond. how many of you heard of julian bond? okay. julia bond is still an activist -- that's not julian bond. those are some other folks. but essentially, college students -- college students would decide to get involved in this. i'll explain this photograph. these are the kids from nashville -- i shouldn't call them kids. these are the college students from nashville. and they were led by a remarkable woman named diane nash. and i wish we had more time to talk about her. she was, again, one of those ordinary students, an ordinary college student, who becomes extraordinary. she is one of the leaders. this is not in the script, so -- but she becomes one of the leaders of the freedom rides. she becomes so important that she literally defies the federal government and continues the freedom rides when the kennedy administration wants to shut them down. and robert kennedy asks famously, "who the hell is diane nash?" because she has -- because she has effectively defied the federal government and

the o's are in atlanta. starting a series with the braves. tonight's starting lineup for the o's, is another indication of their versatility. chris davis is playing right field. the o's have used eight different left fielders. he's a guy the o's claim from the yankees' minor league system. he is making an impact with the o's. last night, pierce hit his first orioles home run. he drove in five runs and ended up up a 12-6 orioles win. they've won five in a row. with guys like steve pierce, relatively unknown. but filling in and certainly making a difference. >>> i know if i can stay healthy, i can produce at this level. for me, it's always been a fact of just staying healthy. >> we knew that when we broke camp that we were going to have a bunch of different guys step up. there's a lot of versatility in the players. >> and that's working so far. adam jones has been rock solid in center. he's played all 63 games out there. jones in the starting lineup. in center field again tonight. and brian matusz is the starting pitcher tonight. he was suppose

they've gotten rain over two inches in atlanta. now things are going to change. east coast is going to dry out over the next couple of days. next week or two, and it looks like all the wet weather is going to be in the northern plains this morning we have showers and storms rolling through areas from north dakota into northern minnesota. it looks like minneapolis will get missed by this batch of storms. but later this afternoon you could deal with strong storms. the reason the weather pattern is switching is that the cold front brought us a dry, beautiful air mass through almost all of the eastern half of the country. and now that that's pushed off the coast, everyone with the exception of florida is going to be dry and looking at just a picture-perfect, beautiful day today. now then central plains is where all the stormy weather is going to turn to. we could see a few tornadoes near minneapolis st. paul area, and minnesota, a little severe weather outbreak late this afternoon towards this evening. even omaha could see a strong storm. the bottom line for thursday
