thanks so much, brianna keilar, appreciate that at camp david. while it may not necessarily be on their agenda, perhaps a conversation is taking place involving chinese human rights activist now on his way to the united states right now in flight chen guangcheng is making his way from china to the u.s. we understand that chen, his wife and two children are on their way now. they are expected to arrive in new york in just a few hours from now. chen set off a political firestorm after he escaped house arrest in china late last month and then sought refuge at the u.s. embassy there. from the embassy he went onto a chinese hospital. new york university offered him a fellowship. u.s. diplomats began negotiations to allow chen to come to the u.s. and also help secure him a visa. so china aid, a u.s.-based human rights organization says chinese authorities told chen and his family today to pack up and leave right away and got them off to the airport. bob fu is the president of china aid. he's joining us right now via skype. so you spoke to chen before h

let me bring in brianna keilar. throughout the day, withere hav been these rumors that the president was doing something extraordinary and for security reason, no owoone wants to talk about where he is. but set the scene for us. what did they say at the white house where he was, what he was doing, what was on his schedule. because we now know what he actually was doing. >> when you looked as his public schedule, he had a lot of meetings and i think the expectati expectation, that the president may be overseas. i think that a lot of people thought because the president was kicking off his reelection in a major way on saturday, that would be some time set aside for on work on that this week. we were told there would be a briefing at 3:00 p.m. so the pieces kind of came together. but it was several hours after the president left the white house, it's a 13 hour flight. and you know, it's pretty hard to hide the president of the united states. local reports started coming out from afghanistan. of course because of the se

adorable and now suspected terrorist it happened tuesday night at the airport in fort lauderdale brianna and her parents had just boarded a jet blue flight they were heading home to new jersey they say that's when a jet blue employee told them they had to get off the plane agents from the transportation security agency the t.s.a. needed to speak to them. you see the t.s.a. had done its job they protected america by putting eighteen month old reanna on the no fly list before she could do any damage brianna's parents who are american citizens from new jersey just like their daughter were told they were free to fly but they had to leave their terrorist rianna behind so it's one point for america zero points for the terrorists and it's just the latest bomb paul plot foiled by the t.s.a. a few weeks ago the t.s.a. stop to this potential terrorist seven year old dina frank who suffers from cerebral palsy unlike rianna dina doesn't look like she's from middle eastern descent so this was an especially good catch by the t.s.a. it was stopped from boarding the plane and forced to miss your flight

buckner will be tess and brad, gilliam, brianna, and joe. >> good morning. i am tab buckner from district by. thank you for restoring most of the precincts we discussed. i do ask that you adopt the proposal mentioned about bringing back to district 5 4002. it is just one block north of the panhandle and has been very much a part of the community for many years. in turn, give to district 1 census block 2006. it is north of fulton and mostly new developments with people who do not have the history that people further south do. as a member of the lgbt community, i need to reiterate that a lot of us do not live in district 8. a consisteconsistently the disci have had with people is that district 5 is the appropriate place that will integrate and improve -- include 55 laguna. i urge you to heed the advice of others and put 55 laguna back into district 5. >> thank you, sir. yes. is that someone going to buy as lunch? pizza. when phones go off and introduced -- interrupt proceedings, they are subject to pizza attacks. >> it feels like a commission. you have been co

brianna, good morning to you. tell us the latest from there? >> they have gotten under way with the welcoming sessions. we saw president obama make some remarks this morning. you can see it's sort of casual here. really trying to get down to brass tacks and deal with the issue of the eurozone crisis. you could almost see how weighty of a subject this is, randi. last night, by some of the arrivals. i looked and saw angela merkel, the head of germany arriving, and president obama asked her how she was doing and she kind of should goed, and president obama said you have things on your mind. europe really looks to make some kind of change. the eurozone crisis going into year three. done a lot of belt tightening, cut government spending, haven't seen their economies really be able to take off. and angela merkel under pressure to change course as she's looking around and seeing some of the new faces no doubt at the summit. there are some leaders, france italy, who have really paid the political price during this really tough time. >> sort of the week

let's go to brianna keilar. should the president be worried that he's potentially losing his critically important edge with women? >> reporter: wolf, it may be too soon to tell. these poll numbers may not tell the entire story. if we take a look at the poll by cbs news and new york times it does show romney 2 percentage points ahead. one reason to look at this very carefully is because other poll, albeit less recent polls show the president with a major advantage over governor romney and for instance, if you look at our latest poll, the cnn/orc poll it shows president obama with a 16% advantage. the obama campaign, wolf, is pushing back on the methodology of this poll and it's sort of standard if you don't like a poll to push back on it, but it is something to the complaint and this is why. part latest poll that was done in mid-may, they called back people that they had polled in april. they didn't get all of those people. so it was even smaller and the bottom line is it may not be representative of the nation a

. >> brianna, did she reveal anything personal about herself? talk about her own life experience and life story? sometimes she likes to do that. >> reporter: yeah, she did. we heard some things that i think normally we don't hear. she said after she graduated college, she said she had a great high-paying job, a great office at one of chicago's top paying or pardon me largest law firms, and she said, you know, on paper it looked like a great job but very quickly she lost one of her best friends to cancer. she lost her dad after a struggle with multiple skcleross and she said she ultimately decided to go into a career that was more about public service. this is interesting because following the tragedy here at virginia tech, one of the things that came out of it was very much an emphasis on service. i spoke with a lot of students, and it's pretty amazing the things they're doing. one couple that i spoke with is heading to the philippines for six months to teach college students in the philippines how to read and do computer skills. so obviously th

brianna keilar is near camp david for the g-8 summit. a joke between president obama and president of france. >> cheese burgers go very well with french fries. >> we are back to liking french fries, are we, brianna? >> certainly, i would say we are. president obama is looking toward the new president of france for some good influence or influence on the euro zone crisis which is at this point potentially in danger of spilling over to a global economic crisis having an influence on the u.s. they metaphor about 20 minutes today in the oval office ahead of this g-8 summit here at camp david. they did talk about the euro zone crisis. some common ground in the white house is hoping to find with hollande who talked about not just cutting government programs but talking about trying to figure out a way to get the economy growing. that is something the white house likes the sound of to stop the economies in europe from contracting. there is a big issue maybe they don't see eye to cy on. that is afghanistan. hollande campaigned bringing home fren

. >> cnn white house correspondent brianna keilar is at camp david. eurozone pricrisis, now enterin world three. you can see how serious they all agree this problem is. >> reporter: that's right, randi. one moment pretty telling as german chancellor angela merkel walked up to president obama for the presidential greeting moment. he asked her how she is doing, and she kind of shrugged. and he said something to the effect you have a lot on your mind. europe very much at a crossroads this is the third year of this crisis. the 17 nations in the eurozone have done a lot of belt tightening, cutting government spending and they are not doing so great. their economies are not growing by and large. they need to do something else. and the solutions are really kind of long term, but as you'll notice looking at the leaders at the summit, there are new faces coming from europe and that's because many leaders in europe have or potentially will pay the political price for governing over such a tough economic situation. and especially, randi, a lot of weight on the s

[applause] we are joined by brandy and brianna, the founders and owners of urban bazaar. it is a wonderful business that speaks to the whole culture of small business in san francisco. they are artists and are creating beautiful crafts that they sell. more than that, they're bringing fair trade items to san francisco. they're bringing items made by other san francisco artists to the richmond district where the business is located. it does not take a miracle to start a small business. sometimes it feels like it does. it does not really take a miracle. it takes passionate people, great ideas, and a lot of support. urban bazaar has received support from a number of agencies. they've worked with women's initiative, community ventures, a small-business development center, and working solutions. they embraced all san francisco had to offer. mark quinn and elizabeth, the mayor, san francisco. what they did was really smart. they looked at what was out there and took advantage. they were founded in 2010. they now have three employees in addition to two full-time right here. they

our white house correspondent brianna keilar is joining us. brianna, tell our viewers what you are learning. >> reporter: there was nothing normal about how this trip was executed and even from the way president obama entered air force one early, early in the morning on tuesday at andrews air force base. instead of taking the normal multi-story set of stairs he takes usually, he went on a smallerest is stairs into almost the belly of the plane, near the front of the plane and in addition, this is a trip that took a few weeks to plan. it was a few weeks in the works. an advance team of white house and security staff went in the few days before the trip and president obama managed to sneak out of the white house late monday night to head to andrews air force base in a smaller motorcade so as not to raise suspicion. late monday night president obama snuck out of the white house. under the cover of dark business the president and white house staffers and reporters sworn to secrecy took off from andrews air force base. it was just after midnight. >

it happened tuesday night at the airport in fort lauderdale brianna and her parents had just boarded a jet blue flight they were heading home to new jersey they say that's when a jet blue employee told them they have to get off the plane and i said for what and he said. well it's not you or your husband your daughter was flying as no fly i said excuse me. all right so this toddler is flag but meanwhile this is the best part it turns out there's been a dead man working for the t.s.a. a man who actually stole the identity he was an illegal immigrant came to this country i think back in the eighty's and stole the idea of somebody call themselves jerry thomas even though his real name was bimbo although. anyways he's been working at newark airport. and was finally we're in jersey for us here and i know i know i'm saying there's so many travelers that come through newark airport and the t.s.a. can target these toddlers but not their own workers well looks like someone's going to have to strap on a rubber glove and inspect the t.s.a. . the t.s.a. is the one agency that sort of can bridge t

adorable and now suspected terrorist it happened tuesday night at the airport in fort lauderdale brianna and her parents had just boarded a jet blue flight they were heading home to new jersey they say that's when a jet blue employee told them they have to get off the plane agents from the transportation security agency the t.s.a. needed to speak to them and i said for a while and he said. well it's not you or your husband your daughter was blind as no fly i said excuse me. it's bad enough for t.s.a. is clearly using racial profiling here but a baby flag for the no fly rule but the split second if they found out the suspect wasn't old enough to have a civil conversation they should have let her go but that would have betrayed the agency's reputation for other fathomable incompetence at least certain they're consistent right now this is another example of why the t.s.a. is about as popular as a slap in the face and why going to the airport can feel lot like having teeth pulled and given this latest incident it's not all that surprising that congress people are proposing to scale back the

cnn white house correspondent brianna keeler is at camp david joining us this morning.what do we expect out of this gathering today? >> today, randi, is going to be all about the economy. we expect president obama to kick things off shortly with some welcoming remarks and then there are going to be a series, five different working sessions. kind of discussions as the world leaders talk about really the number one issue here which is the european economic crisis. it's threatening right now as it goes into its third year to possibly spill over into a global economic crisis and that would affect the us. europe has really sort of with germany set the tone, done a lot of belt tightening. i mean cutting government spending in some of the eurozone nations and they've seen their growth stagnate. so europe is really at a crossroads trying to decide how to move forward. president obama you can see this setting behind me. this is camp round meadow which is just down the road from camp david and is very serene here. that was sort of the point. president obama picked this locale for
