mandy threw me for a loop as an adult. how are these young people handling it? thought it might be interesting. tavis: one of these shows called you in for a cameo -- "american idol." a whole new generation got exposed. >> i work with kids, and i did another where i got to talk to about 90 of them that were just going on the air. i really loved it. they were like sponges. once i worked with that were going on the air it in my songs, and i asked him a lot of questions they have never been asked before, and i think it helped. they really are looking for someone to give them a hand. they have not paid their dues. they have not worked in the theater. they just sing well, and suddenly they are on error singing a song, and they are good if they win, because they really work hard. >> a lot of people were not privy with the artists in a private setting. when people do get a chance to barry manilow, what are you sharing with them that might help them as they advance through their careers? >> i say, who are using it sioux, and she said, the audience, and i said, who in yo

from wall street to washington, we have mandy drury and john howard. mandy, we'll start with you, taking a look at the market, looked a little positive this morning. seeing a turn. >> we have indeed. stocks cause an initial bounce, but if you look at the numbers now, they've actually gone into the red. the payrolls essentially relieved some of the anxiety by the u.s. economy, but considering the heavy sentiments of late, the jury is still out as to how we will close out the day. your viewers like to watch this, but despite the lingering uncertainty of the economic growth, partly because of the stock market losses have meant there's a big demand in liquidity for gold. remember, guys, yesterday more than $2 trillion in wealth was erased in that crash. >> that's a big number. mandy, also i'm going to take a look at this, what are some of the good sectors? >> you've got construction, retail, leisure, education and health care, those were areas that saw gains. retail, 26,000, manufacturing, 24,000. as expected, richard, state and local government, which are

mandy clark reports from the afghan capital. >> reporter: the insurgents attacked at dawn, detonating a large bomb outside the british office in kabul. suicide bombers followed. armed with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades they forced their way inside the compound. what did you see? "i live across the street. this morning there was an explosion and i walked out to look at the bomb side when a second white corolla exploded" says 18-year-old mustafa. police are battling to clear the explosion. nato troops are on the scene but afghan police are leading the operation. gunfire and explosions rattled through the compound. there are reports one suicide bomber detonated himself inside the building. a number of afghan security forces have been shot in the exchange of fire. the taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack to mark the anniversary of afghanistan's independence from great britain nearly 100 years ago. mandy clark, cbs news, kabul. >>> in libya, nato war planes bombed targets near moammar gadhafi's compound in tripoli. in what could be a major turn in the six-month wa

mandy drury thanks for keeping an eye on the markets. of course, the economic crisis is turning into a crisis of leadership for the country. and the president as you heard kristen say is really taking the hits from the left, from the right, from the middle. over how to get things moving. john thon alter is an msnbc political analyst. he's taking hits from all sides. would it be better for him now to switch modes to stop being so measured, he is thoughtful, he is logical. he makes compromises. do the american people want to see him don on the boxing gloves and coming out fighting? >> you know, i think some liberals are saying that they want to see him do that. i'm not sure the american people as a whole want to see him go pugilistic on the country. they want to see him do something. it's easy for us to say do something, mr. president. but he needs to. he needs to be creative. he needs to show leadership. >> in the crisis after 9/11 we saw the president do that. we saw george bush come out in righteous anger in mighty wrath he gathered and

mandy clark is in kabul. >> reporter: at 5:30, first light in kabul, two car bombs exploded in quick succession. one destroyed the compound fence, allowing attackers with explosive-laden suicide vests, machine guns and rocket- propelled grenades to storm the building. for the next 9.5 hours, afghan security forces battled it out with militants as the casualties mounted. one bomber blew himself up and witnesses saw the police fire rockets and small arms at the insurgents. were you scared? "no, it happens often," he shrugged. just seven weeks ago, the intercontinental hotel-- long considered one of kabul's most secure-- came under another highly coordinated taliban attack. that ended after a five-hour siege, but only after a nato helicopter opened fire on insurgents. weeks later, afghan forces took over responsibility for security in kabul from nato troops. it was a real battle for the afghan security forces to take out insurgents in this relatively contained attack, raising doubts about their ability to secure the capital in a more widespread assault. mandy clark, cbs news, kabul. >>

cnbc's mandy drury joined me earlier with a look at this volatility. >> we're seeing a market that is really struggling to find direction. there are so many unanswered questions out there. questions like what did the downgrade mean for the united states? what is the fed doing to try to stimlit the economy? is the economy backsliding into a recession. what is europe doing about debt problems? while ufr unanswered questions, it's a lot ov uncertainty. uncertainty seems to create fear. >> cnbc's mandy drury dl. >>> in florida, casey anthony is ordered to return to the state to serve one year probation. she was acquitted of killing her daughter. the probation is for a conviction in a separate case. kerry sanders is in orlando, florida, with the very latest on this. good morning, kerry. i bet this has been grabbing the headlines lately. >> certainly has. casey anthony is orlderred out of hiding to the florida department of corrections to meet with her probation officer. six months before -- 16 months before the murder trial, she was in court and was sentenced to a one-year probation for pa

cnbc's mandy drury is here with what's moving your money.r days have been unprecedented. >> absolutely, chris. we clocked up a fourth day of massive moves and i know that your great producers have got a graphic that shows it all. we can safely say this has been wall street's most volatile week since 2008 which was a year we'd rather forget in terms of the markets. for today the jury is still out but so far so good. we saw the nasdaq briefly turn negative after the consumer sentiment dropped in august, and gave the u.s. dollar a bit of a lift. if you listen to the responses from economists about this number, they say okay it was an ugly number but you know what? we had markets in turmoil, all of that uncertainty and the u.s. being downgraded so this kind of number should be expected and that's why we've still got stocks in the positive. >> let's talk about savings because actually it's more about the money we don't have, some i thought surprising findings in a new survey. >> chris if you suddenly needed $1,000 to cover an unexpected expense w

i'm joined by mandy drury. welcome to our weekend. glad to have you here.k about the wild fluctuation now and then fortunately lifting up on the good note at the very end. it wasn't positive for the entire week overall. >> we had incredibly wild swings. you know, if you had done absolutely nothing with your money, if you had not panicked and pulled it out or not bought at the end of the week you would have only been down 1.5% because that's what the dow was at the end of the week 1.5% to the downside. i think what we are seeing here is a market that is really struggling to find direction. there are so many unanswered questions out there. questions like what did the downgrade made for the united states, what's the fed doing to try to stimulate the economy, is the economy back sliding into recession and what is europe doing about its debt problems. you have all these unanswered questions, it's a lot of uncertainty and uncertainty does tend to be something that creates fear and irrational moves and that's partly what we saw this week. >> how did these kinds of

the fundamental problem here i'm sure mandy is expand on this is the problem is an overseas one. the united states and the stock market has sort of this contagion effect of what's going on in europe. >> in fact, mandy, we were talking about that on email today. i know france and germany are meeting today to see what more they might do to staunch the bleeding in europe. this is a global problem, not just an american problem. >> absolutely, contessa. no matter how good the payroll number was, the memories of the turmoil of lehman brothers are coming back to haunt investors. we all remember how that blast all the way around the world. world stocks from europe to asia they're all on track for the biggest weekly loss since twakt. money markets are showing is same signs of stress back then as well. if you talk global the question is now how are global policymakers responding. remember this week japanese intervened to halt the yen. the european central bank is buying bonds, it stopped short of heavy purchases of spanish and italian debt that many say is needed to stem the rout. here in

know must go on the spell of the swedish league this is because i believe it is more fun to watch mandy in russia as the game is a lot quicker and there is more emphasis on attack in sweden the game is more tactically based and defensively orientated though they are very good at this sunday's big business in russia where the sport is played professionally crowds for international matches can be upwards of thirty fire zones players can expect to earn over one hundred thousand dollars a year whereas in sweden a monthly salary is in the region of just two to three thousand euros many many players have to take up second jobs. the standard of bandy is increasing all the time be increasing salaries also helps but there are a number of other factors which are making the sport better and more and more popular in the likes of russia in sweden were a number of factors relating the development of vandy firstly it's not the olympic sport which means it difficult for associations in countries where the sport isn't as popular to get a funding also of it's a very fast and exciting game to watch one un

before that earlier i spoke with journalist matthew lee and to start up i asked him just under what mandy the u.n. is operating with this proposal for libya now here's what he said. right now they really don't have a mandate that's what was so surprising when i was able to get this document i mean when when the resolution one thousand nine hundred three was passed which authorized no fly zone and protection of civilians in libya the u.n. was assigned a role to somehow coordinate or at least receive notification of that they really abdicated that role basically nato you know did what it wanted the french drop in weapons into the mountains and then sort of i guess to sort of wreak either reclaim its lead or its relevance the u.n. under secretary general ban ki moon started this planning process but it's all been done behind closed doors he appointed a british diplomat ian martin to do it and the result is a is a document that doesn't present different alternatives that great basically presents one alternative which is it could easily have just been written in the state department or in the

cnbc's mandy drury is here with what's moving your money. little bit of a rally. >> let's just say so far so good, we're currently up by 200 points on the dow as you mentioned. we had a couple of good economic pieces of news this morning that's helping to restore a little bit of battered sentiment right now. for example, we got fewer americans joining turn employment line last week, and the number of people filing for those unemployment benefits fell below the 400,000 mark. for the first time in four months. that's kind of significant because it may be a sign that the job market is slowly improving after quite a slump. also we saw mortgage rates hitting record lows in the week ending august 11. the fixed rate mortgages fell to 4.3%. low rates haven't really helped the housing market in any significant manner, but hopefully there will be more people applying for a loan as those rates come down. just to give you a quick look at what is driving the rally this morning. we have got tech stocks leading the market higher, partly due to cisco. >> ca

this morning i spoke with mandy dr drury about what it means. >> if you had done absolutely nothing withor example, panicked and pulled it out. if you had not bought. at the end of the week. you would have only been down 1.5%. i think what we are seeing here is a market that is really struggling to find direction. there are so many unanswered questions out there. questions like what did the downgrade mean for the united states? what is the fed doing to stimulate the economy? is the economy backsliding into the recession? and what is europe doing about the debt problems? it's a lot of uncertainty. uncertainty tends to be something that creates fear and irrational moves. that's partly what we saw this week. >> how do these things skt every day consumers? do they say, i'm not sure what i can spend or do people go out thinking maybe i'll get a deal? >> it creates a level of uncertainty at home. if you're watching wall street go wild, you're probably thinking maybe i should hold off on the big purchase. maybe i should bide my time. through are a few seal ver linings. mortgage rates are at rec

to put these shocking numbers into context let's check in with mandy drury at the new york stock exchange's heartbreaking when you nied think of all these people needing food stamps. >> it is. the numbers are concerning. as much as 15% of the american population is actually using those food stamps. there's also a big sign that there's lingering damage from the recession and the fear that we're heading back to the recession or a so-called double dip is the biggest factors in the stock market lately. payrolls are expected to show 75,000 jobs were created in july. that would be an encouraging sign and it would help to offset some of those ongoing layoffs. back to you. >> thank you. >>> in the week of a salmonella giant, cargill is recalling 36,000 pounds of ground turkey because of the illness. 76 other people have been sickened across half of this country. but officials say contaminated ground turkey is safe if cooked and handled properly. >>> virginia tech is on alert and is warning students near dietrich bookstore to stay indoors after seeing a man with a gun. virginia tech saw the shooti
