and we did hear from cyrus mance today. also ken thompson the lawyer for the accuser, for the made, he criticized the manhattan district attorney, said that they perhaps were fearing they mr. going to lose the case. they were setting up for a dismissal. they were very critical. he even referenced manhattan district attorney's recent cases that had failed. so this is a very interesting dynamic. and this could be a major blow for cyrus mance, the manhattan district attorney. today we did not see that strong, confident prosecution we saw in the last two courtrooms. >> brown: laurie levenson, pick up on that last part. the split that we saw when the attorney for the accuser came out was very strongly going after the prosecutor for dropping the ball, for not picking up, and really telling him, do not let go of this. how unusual is something like that? >> well, you know, this is a big advocate for the victim. and a lot of victims don't have such an advocate. but frankly for the prosecutor, he's in a tough place. because even if h

cyrus vance sought an indictment and got it. that day prosecutors were just as confident in their accuser as commissioner kelly was. >> the complainant in this case has offered a compelling and unwavering story about what occurred in the defendant's room. >> what assistant d.a. mcconnel did not say perhaps because he did not know were facts about the alleged victim's past and questions about her account. in a moment former prosecutor sonny hosten and jeffrey toobin on whether they think a rush to prosecute made this case impossible to prosecute. first, though, tom foreman lays out the facts. >> reporter: dominique strauss-kahn's new york arrest in mid may was a sensation. the head of the international monetary fund, the potential next president of france, snatched from a jet moments before takeoff, accused of attempted rape by a hotel maid. manhattan democrat cyrus vance put it simply. >> these are extremely serious charges. >> reporter: the maid told police she had gone to clean strauss-kahn's $3,000 a night suite and he had ju

cyrus told police he never did buy the tickets.e just took the money. >> really, i got sick to my stomach. >> more than money the incident changed their lives. he never got to visit saint john's and he decided not to go to school there after all. >> i really wouldn't want to go all the way across to the country to a school i had never seen. >> as for cyrus he became obsessed to bring down the man that stole his money. he launched a website exposing his name, driver's license accusing him an ongoing scam and he found other victims. he e-mailed him repeatedly pleading with him to return the money. he filed complaints with the american airlines and bank of america america and he called me at 7 on your side. >> 7 on your side get the word out to the banks and the banks would see it was a big problem. >> we asked batching of america why his accounts remain open. the bank told us we do not close accounts based solely of an accusation by a third party. american airlines said we first learned of the scam late last year when other passenger

and cyrus vance did the right thing. >> what's going on here, richard? yes, avery underscored there is some forensic evidence substantiating that something, there was some sort of contact between these two, at least that's the allegation and investigators want to stand by that, but they have a problem with the story of the alleged victim. how is it that perhaps -- i guess the story really needs to supercede that forensic evidence or at least match it and that's the problem here, it just doesn't match? >> fred, the great yogi berra coined the phrase it's not over till it's over, this case is over. this case will be dismissed and there's no way they can prosecute him for this. >> no way even if there's forensic evidence, there's no way they can go in regard. >> the defense says it was consensual, number one, and this victim has now proven to be a liar on many issues, including, claiming he was gang raped, raped back in her own country. that was a lie. you cannot have a rape victim on the stand with her credibility on the line who previously claimed to have

after his violent killing in guatemala city last week, the argentine folk singer was returned to when cyrus will -- where he will be mourned the most. argentines have a question about how a singer could have been brutally murdered. >> we know there is an investigation about a person who drove the car. it is a person who had ties to traffickers, prostitution, and gambling. if anything were further for the idea, it would be violence or anything related to the drug cartels. >> the authorities in guatemala are under pressure to act swiftly. they have arrested two man. the chief prosecutors say they have been caught on video following the music promoter who had brought cabral to perform. he was also injured in the attack. >> his murder has been a source of great embarrassment to the guatemalan government. it has strained ties with argentina. it is a poignant reminder of the extent of drug-related violence in latin america. a peace loving artist was caught up in it. >> this is tuesday on the bbc. >> i am in london. the headlines. pressure on news international has intensified with fresh criticism

the thing we will hear next is how does cyrus vance, who is the prosecutor who brought this case withre, embracing the credibility, describe what happened and whether he is really selling out his -- this victim. whether he is in fact responding rationally and logically to new developments or whether he is simply throwing in the towel because he's afraid of losing to a powerful defendant and his skilled and expensive lawyers. this is a very difficult moment for cyrus vance and he better have some answers. >> did you hear anything presented by the attorney of the alleged victim? anything at all? it was unbelievable, the level of detail about this alleged assault. was there anything that gave you pause in terms of whether or not this case could move forward? >> well, you know, i think we have to keep in mind that we are hearing a defense attorney's characterization of his client's story. by definition, the defense attorney is going to play, is going to put forth the facts in a favorable light, so you know, we weren't hear frg the witness. we were hearing from the witnesses lawyer. he mad

strauss-kahn of assaulting her the district attorney cyrus vance had undermined their case by leaking damaging information about her client. mr. vance's team had described the request as wholly without merit. and now dominique strauss-kahn's successor at the international monetary fund christine lagarde has started her new job. she will have to tackle the problems in the euro zone. we spoke to christine lagarde in washington. this is the report. >> christine lagarde is the first synchronized swimmer to become head of the i.m.f. she's also the first woman. but in other respects, she's not a novelty at all. after all, she is a european like every other managing director before her. >> i don't see myself, nor do i feel specifically french or european. i feel very much a member of the entire community. and having to serve the entire community. >> there are 187 members of the i.m.f. there have been 11 managing directors. five of them have been french. how can you justify -- is it something in the wine that makes french people particularly good at running the i.m.f.? >> it gives us a better

manhattan district attorney cyrus vance said the hotel maid lied about events immediately following the assault on may 14. sources tell cbs news investigators also obtained a reported phone call to her boy friend an arizona prison which she said that she could potentially cash in on the case. all of this raises serious issues, says former sex crimes prosecutor robin saks. >> she lied about the events, she lied to the investigators and she potentially lied under oath to the grand jury. when you have lies that are specifically about a case, there is no recovery from that. it's case over, day over, good-bye, good night. >> reporter: the district attorney's office and police are facing criticism over how the case was handled from the very start. >> it appears that what happened was that this was a rush to judgment. they did not want a roman polanski situation where he was going to go run off in france and possibly never return to the united states. but they chose speed and they chose sloppy work over precise interviewing and these were the consequences. >> reporter: for now, strauss-kahn mu

tourists are there let them become a tourist but by going back to a devalued drug might tell you ok cyrus i do you know i think you brought up a very interesting point i think we have to go with it still here is that if this president the same with greece then you have this knock on effect of this contagion and it is about banks here i mean we can all we can all criticize the banks but i mean the banking system in germany and france wants to survive this is well i mean it's damned if you do damned if you don't that's the problem absolute favorite player this year is you know sorry it's under your first go bankrupt shares i'm going to. well the problem is that if you let them go bankrupt and if they default and this contingent spreads is probably going to skip over spain and hop right into italy where we're still grappling with it today then you've got a real problem this is not a domino effect in the eurozone this is a break for the rest of the world that's been thrown and it's definitely an effect on markets look the europeans can make up their minds hang on the europeans can make up the

jon: that's cyrus vance jr.rk city talking about the case against dominique strauss-kahn, the former head of the international monetary fund, who lost that position after he was arrested for sexually assaulting a hotel maid. let's go back to our panel of attorneys. sharon, help us read between the lines there. he says the investigation is going to go on. but it sure sounds like the fact that he has been released, dominique strauss-kahn has been released on his own recognizance sounds like the prosecutors don't feel like they have much of a case against him anymore. >> that many exactly what's going on. it seems to me this woman is seeking to get asylum, and is going use whatever she can. it's not a typical to make up claims. she has a claim of rape on her application for asylum. under the vowa act, the person just alleged a domestic violence and they can get asylum. it's really sad, but that's the way it works. the person being adduced doesn't have the opportunity to defend themselves. this is with immigration.

after we heard from the allege's victim's attorney we heard and ripped cyrus vance, ripped him a new one, my question is this, did he do anything to rebut the charges that, "a," a rape did, in fact, occur or, "b," richard, juu$e case? >> reporter: definitely wanted to try to get ahead of this. he said, look, we have protected this victim despite what her own attorney was saying where she was screamed at by prosecutor, what he alleged in that long appearance before the court. he's saying we have to follow the evidence. we have to follow what she said. she said enough to the cops so that they dragged dominique strauss-khan off that air france jet. he said, we're still -- the case still stands. the next appearance for dominique strauss-khan confirmed a few hours ago by the district to attorney's office, july 18th. but the difference is he won't be wearing the ankle bracelet and he'll be flying in from california, and he won't be going to france because they took his passport. >> you mentioned his house arrest rescinded, what are the immediate plans beyond or, let's say, before that july
