Transcripts For CNN American Morning 20100712

sentencing. we are expected to learn more about this decision in about two hours. we'll bring that to you live right here on the most news in the morning. the white house this morning promising the terrorist behind the "deplorable and cowardly attacks" in euganda will be tracked down and brought to justice. at least 64 people were killed including one american. six americans from a church mission were also injured. joining me on the phone right now, cnn national security contributor fran townsend. fran was the homeland security advisor to president bush and is now a member of the cia's external advisory board. we're talking about these crowded venues. people gathered to watch the world cup of course finals, one was a restaurant there, a popular restaurant. do we know who could have been the target of these blasts? >> that's the ultimate question. i think when you see the white house statement that you referred to, most likely what will happen especially now because there's been one american killed and others injured, the white house will ask director -- fbi director bob mueller to work with ugandan authorities to try and understand where the americans merely innocent victims of this attack or were they actually the targets of it. >> you just -- we got some new information this morning on this from a senior ugandan government official. it comes from zain verjee saying there were actually three bombs, one at an ethiopian restaurant, the skd second at a rub b by cl. the suspicion al shabab has come up as well. tell us more about what may be going on. >> the attack itself has all the hall marks of an al qaedatype attack, multiple smult taness attacks, a venue with a large crowd. al shabab is one of the extremist groups in a strug there will. at a local mosque in somalia one command al shabab called for attacks. al shabab is a known al qaeda affiliate. we've heard a lot about al qaeda affiliates in the last six or eight months. remember al qaeda in the arabian peninsula claimed responsibility for the christmas day detroit attempted bombing and ttp, the pakistan taliban claimed has the claim of responsibility for assisting in the times square attempted bombing. we're seeing more of these eye fill yachts act outside their usual regions. i expect we'll probably see some sort of claim of responsibility that is al shabab probably in the next 24 hours. we ought to remember when we hear al shabab, this is really al qaeda. >> al shabab is upset, if they indeed are behind this attack, because of peacekeepers that uganda have dispatched to somalia in an effort to help stabilize the government there. what is al shabab's goal? >> well, they are one of the groups, there are several groups struggling for overall power of somalia. there is no sort of central government there in the way we think about it. a single entity, power entity that controls things in somalia. al shabab is one of the groups struggling to seize power there. >> it should be noted, al shabab's name came up about a month and a half ago when we talk about the arrest of a new jersey man who tried to join their group. >> viewers should recall, over the last year we've heard again and again concerns in the somalian-american community of al shabab recruiting, and then bringing over to somalia south american somalis to train and fight there. this has been a real priority with the fbi working with the somali-american community to try and prevent these kids from being pulled into this conflict in somalia. frankly we have a homeland security interest because once they are trained to fight, you don't want them to take that war-like experience and bring it back here to the home it will land. >> good point, fran townsend, cnn national security contributor, thanks this morning. other big story this morning, day 84 of bp's oil disaster in the gulf and the third day of an operation that could finally stop what you're seeing there. here is a live look, 5 nou feet under water. bp says it is putting on this new cap that's going to have a tighter seal. i should say looking at that picture, a tight seal and could stop oil from flowing all together as the company keeps drilling those two relief wells that will actually kill this well. but until the new cap is in place, as you can see, oil flows free. ed lavendera is tracking it all for us from new orleans. ed, is the company saying this is going good, that this had is working? >> reporter: we've been down this road many times over the last several months since april 20th when this oil well exploded down there in the gulf of mexico. there have been a lot of failures along the way. bp right now kind of tempering expectations here. so far they are only saying they're pleased, in their words, with the progress being made so far. but if this new cap system does indeed work and several other containment vessels on the surface of the water that will be brought in over the course of the next couple of weeks, all of this does work as planned, there is enough capacity to capture all of the oil that is flowing freely right now into the gulf of mexico. but it's been quite a dramatic change from after that other containment cap was removed on saturday. you could really sense just how much oil is gushing into the gulf of mexico. there is about 8,000 barrels a day that are being captured by one vessel out there with a connection into the blowout preventer but this new containment cap will create a tighter seal. it is a several-step process. will take several days for them to be able to test it and make sure everything is working properly. then with the help of these other massive vessels on the surface of the water, this oil would then be piped in to those vessels and be able to pump out of the gulf of mexico. those relief wells as that work continues along the side, that would be the ultimate way of killing this well for good and that is still on schedule to happen some time in mid-august right now. drew? >> ed, thanks a lot. we will have the national incident commander, retired admiral thad allen in about an hour from now to give us the latest on this operation and the work that ed was talking about to drill those two relief wells. 7:15 eastern right here. meantime, it is 7 1/2 minutes past the hour, time for a check of this morning's weather headlines. rob marciano in the severe weather center this morning. >> temperatures in the northeast once again kind of smoking hot. 71 to 72 degrees currently in new york city. the rain that will cool things off is still a day, day and a half away. the radar scope shows it out toward the west. temperatures will rise quickly into the 80s and top out probably in the lower 90s. we won't see triple-digit heat but it will be uncomfortable warm. heat advisories are in effect for parts of southeast louisiana, including new orleans. the bull's-eye is in the center part of the country where severe thunderstorms will fire up later on today. already starting to see some heavy thunderstorms with heavy rain in an area that's been very much soak over the past several weeks. lower 90s across the south, including the northeast. only cool spot really is up there in seattle. they've had their fair share of heat last week. everybody's had their fair share of heat this summer. more details in 30 minutes. >> just wait until you get that electric bill. >> i got mine yesterday. talk about smoking hot! papa was smoking hot! turn off the lights, kids! >> chris is like, why won't the tv work? i said, oh, i shut that thing off. rob told us to. >> aluminum neil on the window. always a classic, drew. >> homeowners association likes it. love that. were you watching the world cup yesterday? because everyone i talked to so much for no soccer fever in the u.s. they were watching it. >> i was on the airport on the way here but everybody was watching it where i was standing outside the bar. nobody drinking, just watching it. >> spain wins, if you didn't know. we'll get a live report on how they're celebrating in madrid. what pa thrill for them this morning. nine minutes past the hour. spain has -- were you doing a dance here? welcome back to the most news in the morning. spain is officially king of the world today. they won soccer's world cup for the first time. spain's dramatic 1-0 -- sounds funny, dramatic 1-0 victory. there were just four minutes of extra time left in the championship match. >> the goal set off wild celebrations throughout the country. cnn's don radell is taking it in live in madrid. did you stay the whole night? >> it was an absolutely incredible night. i went to bed at about half part 2:00, 3:00 just so i could get a couple of hours sleep before the party today. there were thousands and thousands and thousands of people out there celebrating the win, enjoying what may actually be a once in a lifetime moment. this is the first time the spanish team have ever been world champions. as you can tell, there is another party here. there is going to be a victory parade this evening. the spanish team are going to come back at 7:00 local time, conducting a two-hour pa trade through the entire city and will end up here at this hastily created park. there are already fans here waiting to receive their team back. shakira is going to play on this big stage behind us later on tonight. the fans will be partying all week. they're absolutely loving it. >> what a great assignment. beautiful sunshine, spain and shoe kye shakira. not bad. >> reporter: got it all. are you guys familiar with paul the okctopus? >> yeah. >> reporter: we should all be taking him to vegas. this guy is incredible. he predicted -- eight is the key number by the way. he's got eight legs. he made eight predictions during the world cup. they all became right. spain become the eighth world champions and they scored eight goals in this tournament as well. >> don, have fun today. see you later. >> they put muscles or clams in each of the tanks, they had all the team flags. paul the octopus got it right, 8 for 8. >> he is a german octopus. >> yes. the man in charge of the $20 billion fund to help oil spill victims is now saying that the program will give people up to six months emergency funding all at once without requiring that they sign some sort of waiver promising they won't see bp. kenneth feinberg also told candy crowley on "state of the union" that he hopes to have the xen compensation program running by the first week of august. relief groups have raised $1.3 billion for haiti. a philanthropy expert says the donations are enough to provide basic necessities like food and water but much of the money hasn't been spent. international governments have pledged another $12 billion to rebuild haiti. the earthquake in haiti killed nearly 250,000 people, leveled the capital city. six months later how is that recovery effort going and what kind of help is still needed? we'll have a live report from port-au-prince right after this. 19 minutes past the hour. welcome back to the most news in the morning. that was actually wyclef jean's new song "the day after," you're hearing it for the first time here on "american morning." he will be our guest at 8:00 eastern and the new song coincides with a grim milestone in haiti. it's been six months since the devastating earthquake struck killing more than 250,000 people reducing much of the island nation to rubble. the presidential palace even in port-au-prince among the ruins. malls of dollamillions of d have been raised to help haiti. but this is still in ruins. all week long cnn has a big push to go back to haiti to see what's happened to see if anything is happening there. cnn's ivan watson is live right now in port-au-prince. good morning, ivan. the first thing i have to ask is has anything changed based on your observations? >> reporter: good morning. why don't we just look behind me at this camp behind me. six months ago this was pretty much a camp consisting of sticks and sheets and towels that people used. thousands of people used to create temporary shelters. now there are more than 0,000 people living here and they have used tarps, plastic tarps, distributed by aid organizations and scrap metal and wood to try to make more permanent shelters. the camp is just starting to wake up right now, it is a little after 5:00 in the morning here. i have to say when you walk around this city six months afterwards, it often feels like very little has changed since the day we first arrived here the morning after the earthquake. drew, take a look at this report. >> reporter: on january 12th, 2010, the earth shook port-au-prince. more than 220,000 people were killed, more than 300,000 injured. the city and large stretches of surrounding countryside were devastated. six months later, not much appears to have changed. it still looks like a bomb just dropped on this city. when you walk around port-au-prince it often looks like the earthquake just happened yesterday. the government has barely begun the clean-up process. roads in the center of the city are still blocked by debris and some experts predict at the current rate of removal it could take up to 20 years to remove all the rubble from that terrible earthquake. >> we have moved 250,000 cubic meters of rubble which sounds like a lot until you realize it is 20 million cubic meters of rubble here. >> reporter: united nations estimates 1.5 million people currently live in camps. that's roughly 1 in 9 haitians homeless. can we expect things to continue looking like this six months from now when we come back? >> in some places, yes. realistically. with the numbers that we are coping with here and with what we know it takes to do long-term reconstruction well, it will take time to get 1.5 million people back into the kind of long-term living arrangements that they want and need. >> reporter: most haitians are left fending for themselves. in this impoverished hilltop slum, any live side by side with the rubble of their neighbors' homes. on saturday, locals made a terrible discovery here. so this is a neighbor of this young woman who was pregnant in her 20s who disappeared in the earthquake in her house and they found some of her body parts today six months later and that kind of thing is happening still all over this city. the haitian government says it can't tackle debris clean-up or the resettlement of homeless right now because it faces more immediate threats. >> the real priority of the government is to protect the population from the next hurricane season, and most of our efforts right now is going in that direction. >> reporter: many haitians are now taking matters into their own hands. this man is building a new house to replace the one that was destroyed in the earthquake. "i couldn't afford new construction material," he says, "so i scavenged parts from the streets and from the rubble." from the rubble of a devastated city a new generation of makeshift house something going up, likely even more vulnerable to the floods and killer storms that plague this country. if it sometimes feels like haitians are resigned to their fate, it is perhaps because the presidential palace is still in ruins. even the most powerful people in this country have barely begun picking up the pieces six months after the earthquake. >> ivan, the government minister that you interviewed there said much of what the government is doing is preparing the population for the hurricane season? exactly what is that? >> reporter: well, the hurricane season is rapidly approaching. haiti's had a terrible history of fatalities as a result of these storms. in recent years in fact. so what he says is they've been preparing other parts of the island that are traditionally hit by these hurricanes to prepare for this saying that they can't face a double catastrophe, a hurricane with large numbers of fatalities on top of the current catastrophe which this place has barely begun recovering from. as you can see behind me, if the storm hits port-au-prince, these makeshift shelters are not going to be good protection from winds and rain. >> that's exactly what i was speaking to. people in tents don't seem to be prepared for a hurricane season. ivan watson, you'll be there all week as we continue to look at this six months later. unbelievable. thank you. >> a lot of that international aid that was pledged by many of the countries hasn't come in yet. so that's -- >> why? >> another big question. 25 minutes past the hour right now. still ahead, an accused serial killer known as the grim sleeper. he was arrested last week after more than two decades on the loose in california. we'll take you inside the high-tech crime lab for a look at how authorities finally caught their man. this is unlike any car you've ever seen before. this is power with efficiency. this is an interior that exceeds even the promise of the exterior. this is the all-new jaguar xj. the stunning result of taking a very different road. the world's first 100% custom, invisible, digital, and fully programmable hearing aid, loaded with today's most advanced hearing technologies, including our new sophisticated noise reduction system. this amazing new invisible hearing aid is custom made, allows you to talk comfortably on the phone, sounds natural. - the quality of sound is excellent, and yet they're, you know, the size of a thumbtack. announcer: to learn more, call: today. cutting-edge technology in los angeles helped police catch the grim sleeper. the technology looks for a family resemblance of a dead relative's dna to provide the link that worked. now it could help crack dozens of other cold cases. thelma gutierrez gives us an exclusive look inside the lab that cracked this case. >> reporter: behind these doors at the department of justice crime lab in california, forensic investigators solved a landmark cold case that could change the way police investigations are conducted. we went inside for an exclusive look at the new dna technology that led detectives to an elusive killer dubbed the grim sleeper. it was the 1980s, a serial killer was terrorizing south los angeles. most of his victims were young african-american women, some had been shot with the same.25 caliber firearm. some had been strangled. some sexually assaulted. their bodies dumped in ael liz. over the years, los angeles police would follow numerous leads that went nowhere. in 1988, after eight murders and an attack on the potential ninth victim who got away, the killing stopped. then nearly 15 years later, the grim sleeper would strike again. who was he? where was he hiding? police would have to wait another two decades to find the answers. >> we have about 1 1/2 million samples stored in the laboratory. >> reporter: a critical piece of the puzzle would be found here in the third largest dna repository in the world. california has been collecting dna from convicted felons since 2004. police had the serial killer's dna from the crime scenes. was it possible it was here as well? >> we are on the cutting edge of this technology. >> reporter: jill sprigs who heads the lab says forensic scientists recently developed a powerful investigative weapon called the familial dna search program, computer software that can find similarities between crime scene dna and the dna of a convicted felon. the killer's dna's not in the database, but maybe a relative's is. >> it is only convicted offenders we're comparing to, not arrestees in california. >> reporter: two years ago detectives ran the killary dna searching for a link but no match. then a major break. last year criminalists entered the dna of a man recently convicted of a felony weapons charge. his name was christopher franklin. months later detectives ran the grim sleeper killer's dna again for the second time hoping for a match to a family member. they got it. detectives zeroed in on christopher franklin's father, 57-year-old lonnie david franklin who lived in south los angeles within walking distance to one of the victims, 18-year-old alicia monique alexander. at one time the man described as a polite neighbor, even worked as a garage attendant for los angeles police. detectives were confident they'd found their man. but before they could close in, they would need a sample of his dna. with franklin under surveillance they pick up a piece of uneaten pizza crust along with some eating utensils. police sent it all to the lab. soon after, they say they had a match. between franklin and the dna found on victims. >> i think going forward this is going to be a very important investigative tool for police everywhere where we have a serious crime and where we have no further leads. >> reporter: as city leaders and los angeles police announce what they believe will be the end of the grim sleeper's reign of terror, the victims' families cheered. but it was a bittersweet moment for the brothers of 18-year-old alicia monique alexander who's carried her frayed picture for 22 years. thelma gutierrez, cnn, los angeles. >> amazing. power of dna testing. today is decision today for oscar winning director roman polanski. cnn has learned that in just over an hour, swiss authorities will announce whether or not polanski will be extradited to the u.s. to face child sex charges. >> talk about an old case. he pleaded guilty to sex with a 13-year-old back in 1977 but fled to europe before sentencing. let's bring in our atika shubert, live in london. what are we learning about this? >> well, basically we only know that a decision is going to be handed down by the swiss justice minister in just over an hour. now that doesn't mean that he's going to be put on a plane right away. he still has the possibility of appealing again to the top criminal court in switzerland so this had is a long and drawn-out process. polanski and his lawyers have made very clear they are going to fight the extradition request every step of the way. >> atika, another question that many had. he lived so many years without any -- out in the open. people knew where he was. then a decision to actually take him in was very controversial at the time. any sense on how the swiss justice minister may rule? >> well, no, no sense of that at the moment. we do know polanski's lawyers have repeatedly appeal to the swiss justice authorities there saying that he has already served his time in the united states, saying this is a politically motivated case at this point. they feel that the judge in the initial ruling was biased against polanski. they put in all of these appeals. so far the justice ministry has kept quiet and today is decision time. that's why everyone's watching. >> the los angeles district attorney says if you got complaints, come back to court, roman polanski, where you were supposed to be sentenced in the first place and fight it out there but not from overseas. an interesting day ahead, thank you, atika. today's another dubious anniversary. six months since the devastating earthquake hit haiti, we'll check back in with aid workers who have been there for months trying to help had the people. are things getting better? what has changed and what still needs to be done? 34 minutes after the hour. care♪ this life was protected... ♪ seems you've always been right there ♪ this life was saved... ♪ soothing sadness ♪ healing pain and this life was made easier... ♪ making smiles appear again because of this life. nursing. at johnson & johnson, we salute all those who choose the life... that makes a difference. ♪ you're a nurse ♪ you make a difference ♪ ♪ when you have a different perspective on things you don't end up with just another car. you end up with a saab. welcome back. 37 minutes after the hour. we'll get a quick check of this morning's weather headlines. i did not say "chick" because the guy is going to do it, not the chick. rob marciano. >> it is monday morning, it is hard to talk this early. >> one hour into it and i'm already on the phone with hr. >> i already have an open line to them. >> 73 in new york. 74 in d.c. starting off relatively warm and it will be another relatively warm day. any other start of the summer we'd call this hot but because we've already seentriple-digit heat across the south, we'll just call it hot. this is not good news for these folks, they've already seen tremendous amount of rainfall over the past few weeks. this is a precursor to that action. memphis, nashville and some of these thunderstorms will get into the atlanta area so that will spell some delays. new orleans to biloxi, heat advisories, up to 105 degrees. not great news for people trying to kill up the oil spill there. low country of south carolina and georgia also heat advisories there. dangerous heat expected in those spots. as mentioned, atlanta and detroit might see delays. los angeles and san francisco some delays because of low clouds but it will also be noticeably cooler out there. i should mention with the high temperature of 90, 91 and 91 in d.c. and new york city today, there is an air quality alert. take it easy if you're working outside and try to stay away from the back ends of some buses. that's always good advice. >> thanks a lot, rob. still ahead, we're talking about haiti six months later since the devastating earthquake. 1 1/2 million people still homeless. a lot of work remains but why has there been so many delays. we'll talk with two people who have been there working for months to try to help the people. 39 minutes after the hour. it's doing season. when we grab a little spare time and get after it. the home depot has all the right prices and all the know-how to start making things happen, less with our wallets, and more with our own two hands. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. right now, estate oak laminate's at the new lower price of just 87 cents per square foot. right now, estate oak laminate's i'm a member of this hotel'sre loyalty program.. well, how far away is it?

[ male announcer ] accumulate 10 nights and get a night free. welcomerewards from hotels.com. smart. so smart. ♪ welcome back. the music of wyclef jean getting us into this next segment. six months ago a devastating earthquake practicalograactical haiti. >> there was billions of dollars pledged in the wake of this disaster to help rebuild haiti but the capital still looks like a bomb fell on it. this is the presidential palace on the left. that was immediately after the earthquake. on the right what the presidential palace looks like now. there it is on the left. the devastation immediately after and now, it's still in ruins. joining us from port-au-prince this morning to talk about what's work and what's not, international media officer for oxfam, a large charity, and cat jones, emergency protection koo coordinator with the international rescue committee. thanks for being with us this morning. julie, we've been talking about what's working. you've been there for four months now. you guys have 700 workers on the ground. give us just an estimation six months out of what has been accomplished so far. >> i think for us in particular, emergency relief for water and sanitation. we are most engaged in this kind of work. latrines, potable water, showers, and public health education which is huge. we have had no major outbreak of water born disease here in haiti despite the hundreds of thousands of people living outside in a very rainy climate. >> cat, that's the good news. behind you seems to be the bad news which is all these displaced people still living in tents and not a whole lot of progress in rebuilding. >> right. we still have a lot of rubble on the ground. what we are most concerned with in the hurricane season coming on is finding a safe and sustainable place for people to live in the next few months. a lot of people are still living in the plastic sheeting provided after the hurricane season and people need to be moved somewhere outside of port-au-prince. >> what's happening to that regard? what are the road blocks? >> one of the biggest challenges we think is just finding land and finding a place where people can actually go and stay for the next couple of months. land is mostly private. the government has had a difficulty trying to annex part of the land. we aren't sure whether people are waiting to take compensation. and also finding land safe from flooding. >> i understand it is nearly impossible to identify who owns much of the land. there aren't a lot of records. everyone agrees this is one of the billest challenges right now. . what is the government doing to try to fix the problem and get permanent housing for many still living in these tent cities? >> well it is the government that ultimately does have the responsibility as the sovereign state to designate land for people who have no place to go. yes, most of the land is owned by very few people and there is no real good titling system in this country. the government has declared eminent demain on a few sites in this country, most namely the resettlement camp. but we rurnlgi iare urging them more of that and do it urgently as we are in hurricane people and there are still hundreds of thousands of people with no place to go and they need to have a place to go as they are so vulnerable to these storms. >> what about relief supplies? i've been reading several stories about relief supplies held up at the port, that some of the aid groups are being charged fabulous amounts, renting dock space, waiting for that stuff to be released, at the same time customs is not releasing it. is there still a bottle neck in the ports? >> yes, this is still a problem. we are working with the authorities to try to clear this up but yes, we can say that it is a problem particularly for us in terms of vehicles. >> the other scary thing is unprotected children. you have the prime minister himself telling the bbc that the government is not going to be able to provide for all of these children that are now unprotected in some cases. how are they trying to ensure that child slavery, people having to give up their children with no formal adoption process or in fact in some cases given to strangers is getting taken care of? >> there is a big effort made by the humanitarian community where people are most displaced. children can go to family-safe places to play during the daytime. there is also a lot of work on family unification. making sure before children are put up for adoption every effort is made to find their family first. >> let me ask you this. this might be politically you don't want to answer this, but let me ask it anyway. are the government officials there in haiti as passionate about helping haitians as you two are? >> i would say yes. i say that there is a lot of commitment, particularly from the mayor's office. but i think there is a huge problem of resources and to a certain extent capacity. >> if i can just add, we've worked extensively with the local water and sanitation authority. this is a really hands-on department that really is useful to people and they've been doing a tremendous job. i think we can get some confidence from that. >> just give us a sense in terms of countries that are able to rebuild in the wake of disasters. i understand that this is very devastating and that people liken it to the tsunami and say, look, two years out from the tsunami they still haven't been able to rebuild. but how quickly theoretically could this move along? >> i think that's a very big question to answer. there was some large contractors at the moment who are offering to replace -- or take away 10% of the rubble. they can estimate they can do that in about three months but at the cost of over $120 million which gives you the sort of extent of the scale of rubble we are talking about. if that was able to be done in three months that would be a big step forward but people also talk about needing about 1,000 trucks every day for the next couple of years to get all this rubble removed. so it is not going to happen overnight. >> well, i know you guys are working tirelessly. julie and cat, thanks so much for joining us this morning. tonight on cnn, "larry king live," a special. he looks at rebuilding efforts six months after the quake. that's tonight, 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. also coming up in just about two hours, anderson cooper is back in haiti. he covered the story extensively when the quake firsthand. ael join us live with more about what he's seeing right now. this morning's top stories just minutes away, including an ugly end to a tournament celebrating the beautiful game. there have been three bombings killing at least 64 people as they watched the world cup final in uganda. a live report from there coming up. plus, day 84 of this oil spill. bp drilling two relief wells to recap its broken well as crude keeps gushing. it could be the final option there to stop the leak. at 7:15 eastern, national incident commander thad allen will be here joining us live. also a cnn exclusive, what is all of that oil and the half million gallons of dispersant doing under the gulf's surface? we'll take you into the deep so you can see for yourself. those stories and much more coming up at the top of the hour. it is now 50 minutes past the hour. [ male announcer ] the financial headlines can be unsettling. but what if there were a different story? of one financial company that grew stronger through the crisis. when some lost their way, this company led the way. by protecting clients and turning uncertainty into confidence. what if that story were true? it is. ♪ shakira's already warming up in spain, giving a big concert there. they'll be celebrating for days. their national soccer team just won the world cup for the first time. >> spain's 1-0 win over the netherlands came with just four minutes of extra time remaining. our resident soccer guru was soaking up every minute of it, richard roth is here to take us through it. >> it's over. some people are probably glad it's over. >> that's your headline, it's over? >> that really is because we have to wait four years. i'll be back. this was a pretty good tournament. there should have been more goals scored. for the final it was not the greatest game as i'm sure you've heard some people say, other than me. it was not the greatest advertisement for soccer, football. >> you're saying it wasn't that exciting. >> the dutch went for the win and they didn't care if they won ugly and there were a lot of yellow cards, a record for a final. one player was thrown off. they went for the spanish legs. i mean they went to hold back a spanish onslaught. i'd rather they lost 4-2 in a more entertaining game. even the dutch skoecoach is congratulating the spanish team. >> i thought there was a lot of acting. >> if you watch british soccer leagues every weekend, the fans who hoot those players off the pim pitch. that is a big problem. the national global soccer organizers should be doing something about this. >> you're saying faking injuries, faking it worse than it is. >> calling more diving penalties and it's really a bad problem and it turns off a lot of american sports fans. >> what do you think about the fact that an octopus actually predicted this thing right? >> i want to know where those boxes are and how do they position the octopus so that it is an equal chance for each box? >> there it is. they're side by side. they have the flags of each thing. there's yummy treats like muscles and clams. >> where does the octopus start before he selects in when you walk into a restaurant many times you can sit on the certain side of a restaurant closer to the door and he went unbeaten in this tournament. dutch should have gone for all eight of his legs. >> the psychic octopus. >> i heard somebody warned that octopus beware of dutch zoo visitors. >> they only live three years. >> won't be around for the next world cup? >> he doesn't mate because they apparently die quickly after mating. i'm sorry. they're also the smartest of the inve invertibraets. >> i didn't know you knew the octopus well. >> richard, thank you so much for all your world cup soccer. >> see you in four years. here r's an interesting spos story. >> on sunday's "meet the press," white house press secretary robert gibbs said if president obama had the opportunity to play against lebron james he would take it. gibbs also says he believes the president could hold his own against the 6'8" now miami heat powerhouse. >> i don't think that's a good idea. >> i don't know how well that would go over in cleveland, new york, new jersey. top stories coming your way in two minutes. we'll be right back. we're still talking soccer. it is over though, the world cup officially ends. meanwhile, coming up on the top of the hour on this monday, july 12th. i'm kiran chetry. >> john roberts is off, i'm drew griffin. lots to talk about this morning. terrorists target world cup soccer fans. u.s. officials say one american was killed here. at least six others injured. three explosions. this happened in uganda. in a moment we'll go live to south africa for the latest developments on this story. day three for bp's operation to replace the containment cap on the oil gusher in the gulf. the oil giant says this new cap could stop the leak completely -- could stop the oil from leaking completely as they work now to drill the two relief wells that would permanently kill the well. but until it is in place, there is nothing stopping the crude from pouring unabated into the gulf. we're live in new orleans coming up. cnn has learned that in one hour, swiss authorities are going to announce whether oscar winning filmmaker roman polanski will be extradited to the u.s. he faces sentencing on child sex charges after pleading guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl back in 1977. he infamously fled to europe before sentencing. we'll bring you the decision live right here on the most news in the morning. but first, world cup cheers turn tragic. an american among 64 killed after three attacks in the capital of uganda. the bombings struck a restaurant and rugby center where soccer fans were watching the world cup final. the obama administration has called the blasts "deplorable and cowardly." this morning, we're tapping into the global resources of cnn. robyn curnow is live in johannesburg, south africa. robyn, what are you learning there? >> reporter: this is classic al qaeda-inspired attacks, coordinated bombings on soft targets. the first was a popular night spot in the ugandan capital of kampana where many expatriates were watching the football, soccer world cup. 50 minutes later in an open field where people had gathered to watch soccer on a big screen, a bomb explode in their midst. what's even more tragic is that people came in to help the people affected in that first bomb, then a second bomb apparently went off according to journalists on the ground. that is where most of the damage and deaths were caused. so as the total stands now, 64 dead, one american, as you say. the information minister has told cnn she expects the death toll to rise and there are also more than 60 wounded, many of them also americans. it is now day 84 of bp's oil disaster in the gulf. a third day of an operation designed to replace the cap on the broken well. here's a live look right now, 5,000 feet under water. this is where those robotic arms have been working on this very, very difficult operation. bp says the new cap will have a tighter seal and that could mean that oil would stop flowing all together as the company continues to drill the two relief wells. but until the new cap is in place, crude oil is flowing freely. ed lavendera is tracking it all for us live from new orleans this morning. this all started -- at least the beginning phases of this on saturday. do we have any idea just how much oil when they say unabated is actually flowing into the gulf? >> reporter: no, really all we have to go by right now, kiran, is that figure that federal team had put together which estimates the flow topping out right now at about 60,000 barrels a day. of course, if indeed this process of containing all of this oil does indeed work in the coming weeks, that would essentially give us perhaps what federal officials believe would be the most accurate sense of just how much oil is spewing into the gulf of mexico. but right now, as you mentioned, it is freely flowing essentially. a great deal of work still needs to be happening. a lot of testing still needs to be completed to make sure that this new tighter fitting containment cap does work properly. in the meantime, there are a number of vessels, large massive vessels that will contain the oil that will then be collected from the bottom of the gulf of mexico there. a lot of those ships are still moving into place but essentially would give them enough capacity to collect if that 60,000 barrel a day figure is correct, there would be enough capacity to collect all of that. that is the hope so far, but as you well know, kiran, over the last few months we've been down this road several times. there have been a lot of engineering setbacks along the way. right now even bp officials extremely cautious about how this is moving along. they will only say that they are pleased with the way things are moving so far. in the meantime, since so much more oil is essentially freely flowing into the gulf mexico, dozens of more skimming vessels have been moved into the area as well. there are also stepped-up efforts to burn off the oil on the surface of the water once it reaches there as well. so intense efforts, a very important and dramatic week lies ahead here along the gulf coast as this containment cap starts to move in to place. >> quickly, any word on when they'll know for sure this operation is successful? >> reporter: that's a good question. right now we are looking at middle of the week to get a better understanding. but it could be several more days after that as well. >> ed lavendera this morning in new orleans, thanks so much. just ahead in a couple minutes, we'll talk with the national incident commander, retired admiral thad allen. he's also going to give us the latest updates on the operation ond t and the work to drill those two relief wells that would eventually kill the well for go in all goes as planned. that's in ten minutes on the most news in the morning. known a grim milestone in haiti this month. it's been six months since the earthquake killed a quarter of a million people. billions of dollars have been raised to help haiti rebuild but how much has really changed since the quake? ivan watson is live in port-au-prince with a look at just how little really has changed, ivan. >> reporter: morning, drew. really when you walk around this city, it often looks like the earthquake just happened yesterday. there are still streets blocked by rubble, rubble everywhere in fact. you have 1.5 million haitians -- that's 1 in 9 haitians -- living in temporary camps like the one behind me. some of them are starting to ask, when is this help that we heard about, when is it going to come? when are we going to see a dramatic change in our desperate lives? take a listen to what one camp resident had to say to me, drew. >> where this money go? where this money go? because if the people still live like that, and they don't distribute food, they don't give nothing, where this kind of sum money go out? >> reporter: there is growing frustration, drew, is putting the haitian government and the united nations and aid organizations here a bit on the defensive. they're insisting that there have been some bright spots, some silver lining here. namely, you haven't had any huge outbreak of disease or serious starvation or violence in the six months after the earthquake struck this area. we spoke to the haitian prime minister. he says that some of this frustration stems from the fact that haiti has really had bad government over the last 40 years. listen to what he had to say. >> now all those people are in your face in front of your cameras and there is a lot of frustrati frustration. that kind of frustration is coming from 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years of non-development. you are not going to solve that in six months or one year. it is a long run and i think most of the population understand that. >> he shares chair machimanship former president clinton and they've basically criticized the national community for not handing over the $5 billion pledged last month to help haiti, that only less than 10% of that money has actually come to the haitian government and they say that that is stalling reconstruction efforts. i have to add, drew, this reconstruction commission only had its first meeting just last month, five months after the earthquake. that's part of why things are going so slowly here. >> ivan, it seems odd that the commission is then criticizing whether or not aid is coming in to that country because they don't really have a plan it seems to me, from the outside looking in, to use the money once it gets there, if it gets there. >> reporter: well, and one of the arguments that the commission uses, or that the prime minister uses, how can we plan on how to resettle the armies of homeless people here if we don't know a schedule of when that money is going to come in. but the government here has come under pressure and under criticism for example from the senate foreign relations committee, a report issued last month saying that the haitian government lacked leadership on solving these problems. there's a bit of a blame game going on. what it comes down to is again the people behind me, 1.5 million people, 1 in 9 haitians living in these temporary shelters right now. the hurricane season rapidly approaching. these people are vulnerable if a killer storm hits this country. it could add a second catastrophe to the existing one, drew, that this country has barely started to recover from. >> ivan watson, part of a team of cnn folk down there, all this week to look at what's happening and apparently what's not happening in haiti. coming up at 7:40 eastern, wyclef jean will tell us about his efforts to rebuild his homeland and a new song released to mark six months of the haiti earthquake. time for a check of in morning's weather headlines. rob marciano is in atlanta with us this morning. are you telling us who is getting rain today? >> it's off to your west. you'll be getting rain tomorrow. the i-95 corridor meantime will be another warm day and some cases unhealthy as far as the air quality settling into the bigger cities. 74 right now in new york. 75 in washington. 74 richmond. temperatures will only be on the rise as we go through the rest of today. the thunderstorms you speak of across the ohio and tennessee and mid mississippi river valleys, all of that is marching east. as it does so, some of that could become severe. we'll slow down air travel if you're traveling through say atlanta. south and east of atlanta, hot and excessive heat watches posted for parts of south carolina and southeast louisiana. there you see your threat for severe thunderstorms across midsections and in through oklahoma where they've seen a tremendous amount of rain in the past few weeks. they do not need anymore. 92 in new orleans for a high, not including the humidity. 91 in new york. hot and humid. but as far as the best day of the week, today may be it. next several look to be fairly stormy across the big apple so get your rain gear out. more weather in about 30 minutes. >> thanks, rob. still ahead, police say the young teenager stole planes, stole boats, went on a crime spree across america leaving no clues but footprints in a lot of the surveillance video. he was barefoot. they called him the barefoot bandit. now police in the bahamas finally track him down. how did they do it? we'll find out next on "american morning."

>> looking at the weather patterns, we saw that there was a real long distance between troughs that were forming out in the atlantic and down in the caribbean. i consulted personally with the administrator of noaa and we felt that there was a seven to ten-day window and if we had the opportunity to do it, we knew that bp had the technology ready to deploy so i asked them for plan and time line on how they might move that forward. they provided me one and ai proved it. >> you say the that later today you should be moving forward with the tighter cap, that full operation that's taking place. will you know later today whether or not that's actually been a success? >> the cap is staged right now. we have to do a seismic baseline run before we actually start it because we want to understand what the sea floor is like in case there is any change to that after we start cranking down the pressure. once the cap's on we will slowly close the valves and see if it can tolerate the entire pressure of the well bore. that will tell us a lot. we need to know the pressure inside that cap to know whether we can shut it in or will have to produce oil to keep the pressure off. we should know something after the cap is on and we do the well integrity test. >> but theoretically, this could be shut down later today? the leaking well? >> i would say maybe not today but it could give us the information that would lead us to believe we could shut the well in, which means we can put a cap on it and maintain the pressure. we won't know until we do the integrity test. >> i wasn't aware that that was happening. i want to reiterate that. you're putting on this containment cap and this containment cap is not necessarily just another hose to bring the oil up. you're saying you can actually seal this well potentially right now with what's being done today. >> that is correct. if we get the right pressure readings. i don't want to overpromise on this because we don't know what the condition of the well bore is and pressure readings inside that cap once we close all the valves will tell us that. that's part of this well integrity test. >> commander, will that then stop the two relief wells that are being drilled or will you continue to push that that gets concluded? >> i'm very clear on how i describe this. what we are talking about now is containing the oil. that's far different than actually killing the well and plugging it with cement. we will need to do that ultimately but this will significantly improve our situation regarding the amount of oil coming to the surface while we finish the relief wells which are the final solution. >> in the meantime, there is this period of time where the oil, as has been described, is just gushing out unabated. do we have any accurate assessment of just how much we are talking about in terms of barrels or gallons going into the ocean as you wait for this containment cap operation to be completed? >> well, kiran, the government estimate's always been between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels a day. we have been producing with the various devices that have been on the well before the last cap was removed somewhere around 25,000 barrels a day. we have continued to flare off about 8,000 barrels a day and the helix producer will be coming online. we will have the capability to continue to produce but during the period when we actually try to do the well integrity test we will slowly take those producti production platforms offline because we have to close all the valves. >> admiral allen, thank you so much. good luck today with all the efforts to cap that well. 84 days. thank you, sir. >> thank you. he's called the barefoot bandit. police say he led them on a chase across america but they finally got limb in weekend in the bahamas. he tried to get away on a boat. very interesting story. we'll tell you all about it straight ahead. he was an internet hero on the lam, accused felon on the run across the country and is behind bars now. police in the bahamas finally caught colton harris-moore. called the barefoot bandit. for nearly two years he's outsmarted the feds. >> just 19 years old accused of a cross-country string of burglaries, including stealing two planes he apparently used to teach himself to fly. susan canndiotti is breaking it down for us. a story that reeds like a hollywood screen play. >> reporter: true to form, he was caught -- you guessed it -- barefoot. bohemian police escorted him with guns in plain view. 19-year-old colton harris-moore, the alleged barefoot bandit is at the end of his run. >> the suspect in an effort to evade capture engaged local police in a high-speed chase by boat. >> reporter: american businessman william sport owns the get-away boat allegedly stolen by the teen. he pois out where police riddled the engines with bullets to stop the escape. >> the bohemian police did a great job of apprehending him before he could have gotten further away. he actually had enough fuel on the boat to make it all the way to florida. i've been cruising the bohemian islands for 40 years and have never had any problem at all like this. unfortunately, it was an american that caused the problem. >> reporter: moore escaped from a group home in washington state in 2008 after pleading guilty to a series of burglaries. a victim who lives next door to his mom talked about his arrest. >> i would like him to get some help. >> reporter: for nearly two years authorities blamed the teenager for a series of burglaries across several states, including idaho, north dakota and indiana. his calling card -- leaving behind barefoot prints. authorities linked him to at least two stolen airplanes, including the one he allegedly flew to the bahamas. he's believed to have taught himself to fly from watching video games. his mom tells cnn affiliate kiro -- >> if he did, i'm quite proud. because i was going to get him flying lessons and if he taught himself how to fly a plane? i'm very proud. >> reporter: the barefoot bandit became an internet cult hero, scooping up more than 60,000 facebook followers. websites sell t-shirts that read "run, colton, run." on youtube, fans idle ientif idn songs. back home in washington localed scratched their heads. >> it is like incredible that he spent all that time sneaking around and nobody could catch him. >> reporter: it is pretty hard not to compare him to the true life character in the movie "catch me new can." no comment from his mother sunday. outside her home, this message. if you go past this sign, you will be shot. so far, cnn has been unable to reach moore's attorney. this week the teenager's expected to make a court appearance in the bahamas before going toe-to-toe with the fbi back home. drew and kiran? still ahead, an accused serial killer known as the grim sleeper arrested last week after more than two decades on the loose in california. >> we'll take you inside the high-tech crime lab for a look at how authorities finally caught this accused serial killer. 24 minutes past the hour. 27 minutes past the hour now. your top stories just three minutes away. but first, a cnn exclusive. cutting-edge technology in los angeles helped police track down the grim sleeper. >> it looks for family members' dna to help crack cold cases. thelma gutierrez gives us an exclusive look inside the lab that cracked this case. >> reporter: behind these doors at the department of justice crime lab in california, forensic investigators solved a landmark cold case that could change the way police investigations are conducted. we went inside for an exclusive look at the new dna technology that led detectives to an elusive killer dubbed the grim sleeper. it was the 1980s, a serial killer was terrorizing south los angeles. most of his victims were young african-american women, some had been shot with the same .25 caliber firearm. some had been strangled. some sexually assaulted. their bodies dumped in alleys. over the years, los angeles police would follow numerous leads that went nowhere. in 1988, after eight murders and an attack on the potential ninth victim who got away, the killing stopped. then nearly 15 years later, the grim sleeper would strike again. who was he? where was he hiding? police would have to wait another two decades to find the answers. >> we have about 1 1/2 million samples stored in the laboratory. >> reporter: a critical piece of the puzzle would be found here in the third largest dna repository in the world. california has been collecting dna from convicted felons since 2004. police had the serial killer's dna from the crime scenes. was it possible it was here as well? >> we are on the cutting edge of this technology. >> reporter: jill spriggs who heads the lab says forensic scientists recently developed a powerful investigative weapon called the familial dna search program, computer software that can find similarities between crime scene dna and the dna of a convicted felon. if the killer dna's not in the database, maybe a relative's is. >> it is only convicted offenders we're comparing to, not arrestees in california. >> reporter: two years ago detectives ran the killer's dna searching for a link but no match. then a major break. last year criminalists entered the dna of a man recently convicted of a felony weapons charge. his name was christopher franklin. months later detectives ran the grim sleeper killer's dna again for the second time hoping for a match to a family member. they got it. detectives zeroed in on christopher franklin's father, 57-year-old lonnie david franklin who lived in south los angeles within walking distance to one of the victims, 18-year-old alicia monique alexander. at one time the man described as a polite neighbor, even worked as a garage attendant for los angeles police. detectives were confident they'd found their man. but before they could close in, they would need a sample of his dna. with franklin under surveillance they pick up a piece of uneaten pizza crust along with some eating utensils. police sent it all to the lab. soon after, they say they had a match. between franklin and the dna found on victims. >> i think going forward this is going to be a very important investigative tool for police everywhere where we have a serious crime and where we have no further leads. >> reporter: as city leaders and los angeles police announce what they believe will be the end of the grim sleeper's reign of terror, the victims' families cheered. but it was a bittersweet moment for the brothers of 18-year-old alicia monique alexander who's carried her frayed picture for 22 years. thelma gutierrez, cnn, los angeles. >> crossing the half-hour right now. time for a look at our top stories. obama administration calling the attacks that killed an american and injured several others in uganda deplorable and cowardly. there were three explosions that happened within 50 minutes of each other. they hit two venues packed with people watching sunday's world cup final. officials say at least 64 people in total were killed, another 71 being treated for injuries. so far, no specific terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack but the ugandan government is pointing the finger at the al shabab group. in just about 30 minutes, swiss authorities will announce whether oscar winning director roman polanski is going to be extradited to the u.s. he faces child sex charges here in los angeles. in 1977, he pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl. polanski infamously fled to europe before he could be sentenced. we'll bring that news conference to you live as it happens coming up at the top of the hour. right now there is nothing keeping the crude from gushing out of bp's broken oil well in the gulf. the oil giant removed a containment cap and then they are replacing that with a tighter fitting cap and it could even contain the gusher completely. bp is also still working to drill two relief wells on either side of the exploded well. the hope there is that this will finally end the 84-day-old crisis. for the 84 days, bp has been dumping dispersants into the gulf. over 1 1/2 million gallons so far. and the oil using the best estimates almost 210 million gallons have spilled into the gulf of mexico. >> what is this doing to the fragile ocean life down below? in a cnn exclusive, amber lion went into the gulf to see for herself and she joins us live from new orleans. hey, amber. >> hey, good morning, kiran. well, i'm an avid scuba diver. let me put things into perspective for you. normally at this time of year when you want to ep ter the gulf, you wear something like this, known as a dive skin. made of nylon and spandex. well, due to the uncertainty of what's in the water, this, unfortunately, is the new reality of scuba diving in the gulf. it's a huge very heavy hazmat suit. now we wanted to see what's going on under these waters with all of these des percentants so we invited an environmentalist, felipe cousteau to come along with us on a dive. he says it is not the big globs of oil you see on top of the water but what's hidden underneath that scares him the most. we're taking three small boats. we're heading down the mississippi. from there, we're going to head out into the gulf. >> what we're doing is we're actually -- if you ever wash dishes, you put a glove on to keep your hands dry while you're washing dishes, we're doing the same thing only we're doing this with her whole complete body. >> reporter: bp has pumped more than 1 1/2 million gallons of dispersant into the gulf breaking up the crude into little beads that stay under the water. we went on a dive to search for that hidden oil. >> i don't want to have to be here. if i was here, i would want to be doing like a free dive off one of these rigs with a bathing suit on. >> it just screws, pops right into the suit and keeps any water from getting on your hands. if this looks uncomfortable, it is. cnn photo journalist rich brooks went in first. >> rich entering. >> there was a couple of sharks swimming by. they're just curious coming around to check out what's going on. >> you okay, amber? >> yeah, i'm good to go. you okay? we're about 48 miles away from the deepwater horizon spill and if you look in the water, you can see it's cloudy right now. >> the oil is distributed throughout the water column. >> i was talking to bp's c.o.o. doug suslettles. i said how is it going to be cleaned up? he said bacteria will eat it all up. >> well, yes, there is bacteria that consumes oil in the water. but that bacteria also consum consumes -- >> reporter: at the end of the day we ran into a patch of dispersed oil that stretched as far as we could see. >> you can see all around us, it is very cloudy. this is a lot of dispersed oil. if were you to fly over this area, you'd probably look down and you wouldn't really be able to tell that there was oil here because it's kind of become the hidden oil. if you saw the water color in that piece, normally it is supposed to be a blue color, not that green murky color we were seeing. in addition, we just saw pieces and millions of them. and as far as a hazmat training goes, we were talking about this earlier. it is very expensive. a suit like this alone costs about $2,000. that's in addition to weeks of training. that's going to affect a lot of people who have to enter these waters for the professions. we had a marine scientist on the boat with us and he says he used to enter the water in a normal dive suit but last time he went diving a couple weeks ago he saw a chemical cloud under the water and wasn't going to take any chances anymore. so he says because he doesn't have hazmat training, now he can't enter the water to do his research on corals and fish to see what type of effect this oil crude dispersant mixture is having on the gulf. kiran, drew? >> if you guys have to suit up to that extent to get in the water, did felipe cousteau give you any indication of what he thinks, what effect that is having on the marine life out there obviously without suits on?

>> i mean what's positive is the spirit of the haitian people. you know? but as far as the reconstruction, we're six months in. minus the death which we seen the day after when we came in, we feel that there is no reconstruction being done. it's taken the people are frustrated. feel like it's taken more than enough time, it's six months. a lot of tents that you can see like behind me, there are still people all over the city sleeping in tents. >> you wrote an opinion piece about this. you said that you expected to go down there and see caterpillars and well as heavy equipment lifting the rubble getting it out of the way. you say six months out there's still land disputes, customs problems that are delaying materials, seems to be a lot of bureaucratic red tape. who do you blame for why this seems to be lagging so much, six months out from this tragedy? >> i mean that's a good question. bureaucratic red tape. i think what happens is a combination of the haitian government, we have to work with the international community. sometimes they're blaming the haitian government but what i'm saying is at the end of the day the money that still was promised from the donors we still haven't received that. so there is a lot of red tape. people are just frustrated in the sense that no matter what happens, we're six months in. at least you can see caterpillars, bulldozers and everything. i think the negotiation with contracts is taking too long. land dispute. even if you want to reroute the people, where are they going to go? meanwhile, while we sit here and debate about it, there are tons of people sleeping in tents. what we're proposing, what i see, the problem does look enormous, but job creation and education is the way of the future. even when the contracts come in, if you don't have a population that is starting to read and write more, we going to have a . the best thing i see now is i'm on my way down here, and the kids are with their uniforms on and are on their way to school. that's a beautiful sight. >> that's what is so frustrating, the people, your people, wyclef, are just waiting and clinging to the hope that someone is going to help them along and it is just not happening. >> well, it is very important for us to keep the awareness because we don't want this to go away. similar so what happened in new orleans, it was $3 billion still unaccounted for. and we are going to and area where even when the contracts do start to open up, what is going to happen. understand, this is basically a youth population. you know, 65% of this population is under 21, so you can understand the frustration of the kids. when i ask them, what do they want, they say, we want education and job creation. that's what we are looking for. we don't need handouts, but it has been six months and we don't see nothing yet. >> there's also the risk for children of abduction, child trafficking, i believe the prime minister was the one who said at this point the government is not necessarily prepared to be able to protect all of the children. how is that being tackled as they deal with so many other difficulties in rebuilding? >> i mean, while we are moving forward, and i'm speaking on behalf of the youth of haiti, one of the things is we need stronger policy laws for trafficking of children, because before the earthquake, we had this problem. after the earthquake, the problems tripled, so it is very important that we be watchdogs and watch this because you have so many different kids in the streets being trafficked around. we have to make sure we apply policy in haiti. we need more policies, more laws towards children. towards abduction and towards child slavery. >> i know your commitment continues. you are down there and you were down there a couple weeks ago. here at cnn, we are glad to shine a light on this six months later. we have not forgotten for sure. wyclef jean, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. and for all the haitian people, unity is strength. this morning's top stories are just minutes away, including a decision day for roman polanski. swiss officials ar expected to decide whether they are going to extradite the oscar-winning filmmaker to the u.s., to los angeles, to face child sex charges. we'll bring you their decision as soon as we get it. it is what drives the economy, but how are americans spending their hard-earned cash and what does it tell us about america's recovery?

spain beat the netherlands 1-0. the game-whipping goal coming with time running out in the extra period, that's overtime to you and me. we'll talk to richard roth here with his final take on the world cup. >> i wonder what my new title will be when the world cup has come to an end. it was a not so satisfying match if you rooted for the dutch. the dutch played brutal football to win it out. one player said they would rather win ugly, and that's what happened. it would have been a great game if the dutch said, let's play offense. if they lost 6-4, people would talk about a fantastic match, but spain gets the first world cup win ever. the goal there -- did you watch? >> yes, we did watch. because everybody was propped in front of the tvs. we talk about soccer and football are not that popular in the u.s., but did it change after this year's world cup? or did we talk about it more? >> a little bit. i think probably in four years we'll be doing the same stories again. i think the american team, if it had just gotten past ghana, without have put it over the edge with a weekend match-up with uruguayu, but the u.s. front line has not scored in two world cups. the referee handed out yellow cards, punishments, one red card. and the big star probably of the world cup will be remembered as paul the psychic octopus. >> who predicted correctly all eight matches. >> he was 8 for 8. he was served on the menus in spain and certain places. the winning team and losing team now return home today to their respected capitals. >> the dutch national funk?

good morning,. it is monday, july 12th. i'm john griffin. >> we have a lot to get to this morning. we are following terror attacks in uganda. three explosions ripped through crowds gathering to watch the world cup final in uganda. at least 64 people are dead, including one american. we'll find out why officials say that their first suspicion is that it could be the work of an al qaeda affiliate. haiti then and now. six months later. after that earthquake, not much appears to have changed. dr. sanjay gupta and anderson cooper getting a firstland look at the situation on the ground right now in port-au-prince and the struggle to rebuild. well, after nearly two years on the run, the 19-year-old known as the barefoot bandit is behind bars. he led police in the bahamas on a high-speedboat chase. and the man who owns the boat says it is a good thing they caught him when they did. >> the police did a great job of apprehending him before he could have gotten further away. he actually had enough fuel on the boat to make it all the way to florida. >> well, our susan candiotti is breaking down that case that seemed destined for a movie theater near you. and the a.m. fix blog is up. go to cnn.com/amfix. first, whoever is behind the florable attacks in uganda will be brought to justice. the terror attack yesterday killed 64 people. 73 others were injured. >> the explosions occurred within minutes of each other. the targets were a restaurant and a rugby center both packed with people watching the world cup final. [ speaking foreign language ] >> right now there are brewing suspicions that an al qaeda affiliate show as al-shabab could have been behind this attack. earlier we spoke to fran townsend about this being the work of terrorists from somalia. >> first of all, the attack itself has all the sort of hallmarks of an al qaeda-type attack. multiple simultaneous attacks, large venues and large crowds. and we have al-that shabab, they are part of one of the extremist groups in a power struggle there, but on friday at a prayer in a local mosque in somalia, one of the commanders actually called for attacks in uganda. then you see this thing happen. >> al-shabab is one of the groups struggling over power in somalia. they are upset about them being dispatched to the country to stabilize the government there. meanwhile, bp is working to put a new better fitting containment cap on the broken oil well. the company is saying they are optimistic about the operation. and thad allen says it could be in place later today. they are also hoping to have the helix producer, the vessel in place, syphoning oil by tonight. >> it could collect just under a million gallons of oil i'm told. earlier we talked to thad allen, and he said this is what could happen once the new containment cap is in place. take a listen. >> we'll be in a position later today to put the containment cap over the well, and this containment cap will have the ability to actually close down valves and slowly contain all the oil. once we do that, we'll know how much pressure is in the well. that could lead to one or two positive outcomes. it could tell us that the well is with holding the pressure and we can shut the well in or just cap it, if you will. either way, those are two pretty good outcomes. >> you heard it there frommed that allen. there could be a cap in place to potentially seal the well. we'll be standing by for that. he went on to say the two relief wells will continue because they are critical to ultimately killing the well. >> now to haiti where the situation remains desperate just six months after a devastating earthquake. much of haiti is still a pile of rubble. a quarter of a million people now homeless. >> dr. sanjay gupta back on the ground in port-au-prince getting a firsthand look at the daily challenges in the capital still city. sanjay, your initial reaction being back on the ground where you reported from right after the earthquake? >> reporter: frightening nostalgic. i expected a lot more to be different. i think you probably already heard that by now, but the reality is that there's still so much rubble on the ground here. and that seems to be one of the first steps to try to get the city back on its feet. the reality is if you can't clear the rubble, you can't get to the big vehicle in to distribute the supplies. if you can't get rid of the rubble, they can't respond to emergencies and try to get the city back on its feet. you get the situation where is supplies get into the country, but they are stored at warehouses and never distributed. that's absurd because a lot of times the medical supplies will expire. here in the country in warehouses never getting to the people who need it. it is absurd because there are still situations that we reported on six months ago with people dying for lack of the resources, yet they have arrived here and are not getting out. the rubble is a large part of that, that people simply cannot get around. i know you have seen the images behind me, but this is a tent city right in front of the presidential palace. i don't think it has changed hardly at all since several months ago now. we were back here in february, early march, i believe, and it is the exact same as it was then. that was one of the things we thought would be a little bit different by now. >> that's astounding to see you in the same place. i should say, it is actually 1.5 million people in haiti still homeless. the city is the same tent city that was up there six months ago. also, we remember that you were treating patients in some cases in places where others had left. you stopped by several hospitals. what shape are they in now six months out? >> well, i want to preface by saying this, sometimes something good can come out of something bad, and that the hospitals could eventually start to build up and create a medical infrastructure in haiti and port-au-prince that they have never seen before. that was the hope. what's happened instead is that a lot of the hospitals that were up and running before the earthquake have now started to shut their doors. too much demand, too little supply, too few resources, not enough doctors. it is really incredible to see hospitals literally with changes on their doors now. there was a little girl that we saw at one of the hospitals that has a relatively simple problem. she has hydroreceive sephalis that is treated by a shunt. she developed an infection, an easily treatable problem, treating it with antibiotics. unfortunately because of the reasons earlier, she never got the antibiotics, and she is literally in a good hospital, but she is going to die. there's simply nothing they can do for her. they did not get her the supplies in time or the treatment in time, and she is going to die. she's probably four or five months old. again, six months later we are talking about these same problems. >> unbelievable. is there any bright spot that you are seeing, sanjay? any relief program that is working? >> yeah, you know, i think there was a lot to be made of the amputations being performed after the earthquake, as you may remember. the big question for a long time, where are they going to get prosthetics, for example. in some areas, that's a program that is working. people are getting prosthetics and trying to navigate the streets of port-au-prince with the prosthetics. i visited the camps, a lot has been made of sean penn's camp. he walks the talk. and he is creating a camp of 55,000 people out there and got it supplied pretty well with giving them medical care where they need it. his plan to get them in temporary shelters, hopefully they can withstand the hurricane wind of the hurricane season and more permanent homes. there's a real plan laid out there. that seems to be moving forward, but just rubble on the streets. you can't get things done with the rubble on the streets. i don't see the big machinery that wyclef is talking about, and it's pretty hard to get something done without that. >> thank you, sanjay, for that report. >> one of the aid workers we talked to this morning was they would hope to move 10% of the rubble. it would take $120 million and three months of nonstop work. >> they have 300 trucks. the question is, where are the trucks? i think that's what the team is asking all week long. >> stay tuned to cnn primetime tonight at 9:00 eastern. a special "larry king live" looks at haiti and the rebuilding process. and this is breaking news just into cnn now. swiss officials announcing that oscar-winning director roman polanski won't be extradited to the united states. he faces child sex charges here in the u.s. back in 1977 he pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl. he skipped the country heading to europe before he would be sentenced. the case has divided hollywood celebrities, but now we know again roman wpolanski won't be brought back to the u.s. more updates all morning long on the breaking store right here on cnn. 11 minutes past the hour. time to check in with rob marciano in the extreme weather center this morning. >> temperatures are up to 80 degrees in the big apple. you will get into the lower 90s, though it won't get into the triple-digit scenario we saw last week. beyond that, we could see stormy weather later in the week. the bull's eye for the storms today is across the nation's midsection. actually, even this morning getting into the temperature and ohio river valleys, a little swath of thunderstorms will be rolling east going through time. meanwhile, the heat, extreme heat holds strong across parts of the southeast and deep south, including louisiana. new orleans is expected to get up to 92 degrees. heat advisories are in effect there as well as for parts of georgia and south carolina. we'll talk more about weather plus some interesting things happening on an asteroid in 30 minutes from now. back to you. >> an eclipse, an asteroid, a lot going on up there. >> certainly. >> thank you, rob. still ahead, after two years of stealing cars, power boats and piloting his own stolen airplane, the barefoot bandit finally captured.

and looking for love. an nfl star named chad ocho cinco. reality tv at its finest coming up with the most news of the morning. 21 minutes past the hour. reminding your business this morning with an exclusive look at what americans are doing with their money and how they feel about the economy. calm palmer is a senior editor at "u.s. news and world report." she is author of the blog called the alpha consumer. kim, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> we are seeing articles out there about the worries about a double-dip recession and personal finances. what is the average person feeling? >> there's a bit of good news here because in the u.s. chase survey just taken we see that people are starting to feel a little bit better about their personal finances. when you ask them if they feel like things are improving or getting worse, more people say their personal finances are improving than getting worse. but, of course, that is tempered when you ask them about the economy as a whole because there are more people actually who are concerned about the economy. they think the economy is getting worse. most americans think the economy has bottomed out, four in ten saying it is gets worse. >> especially if you are looking for a job and long-term unemployed and worried about unemployment benefits. i want to show a couple of the interesting results from the survey, which by the way, was in partnership with chase card services. if given $100 this weekend, what would you do with it? 36% said they would save it. different than a couple years ago, i'm sure. 27% said spend part, save part. 24% say spend on something i need. 8% say treat myself. what does this mean for the retail sector when most people say save it or spend it on something essential? >> not good news for the retail sector, and we see that in how desperate retailers are right now. it does give consumers a bit of incentive to save money because retailers are taking big steps to lure people back into the stores. so that means that there are some things you can take advantage of. this month star bucks is offering free wi-fi. for example, there's a lot of clothing sales right now. home decoration, home furniture, big discounts right now. so consumers are trying to be more savvy. luckily, retailers are making it easier for us offering deep discount this is summer. >> another interesting part of the survey is when you ask people what you believe the biggest problem is, 50% say debt or the economy. and 26% say unemployment. so next comes health care at 14%. oil spill, 17%. a lot of people concerned about that, but you have nearly 3/4 the people saying it has something to do with the economy. what does that mean moving forward? >> it really means that we are seeing people really hunkered down. it has been happening -- it happened last year, too, when we asked them what they are cutting back on. people are doing their own home repairs, doing their own gardening, 56% of americans are skipping a summer vacation altogether. and among those who are going on vacation, people say they are taking road trips, they are going to be staying with family and friends, so they are cutting out the little luxuries. they say they are going to restaurants and moviesless, so people are really cutting back. what we are seeing is this prolonged cutting back, so people really are trying to be as savvy as they can be. >> right, but meantime it is hard for companies to hire if people are frequenting their businesses, so it seems like a cyclical pattern that we'll hopefully find our way out of soon. kim palmer, thank you so much. by the way, you can check out kim's book, it is "generation earn." the young professionals guide to investing and giving back. we'll have more on the decision not to send roman polanski back to the u.s. from the swiss. he's facing sentencing here on a 1977 conviction. we'll talk to former prosecutor paul collin on what appears to be a slap in the face. and the latest on the terror attack in uganda. one american among the dozens killed all while watching the world cup. a developing story coming across the sea. oscar-winning director roman polanski won't be extradited to the united states. he faces child sex charges here in the u.s. it was back in 1977 he pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl. he skipped the country heading to europe before he could be sentenced. for more, we are joined on the line by former prosecutor paul collin. i call this a slap in the face to the u.s. justice system. is that your take on this? >> yes, it really is. and the swiss seem to be walking away from treaty obligations that they have with respect to the extradition of people charged with a serious crime. >> because there's no question that he is a criminal. i mean, this man pleaded guilty basically to drugging and liquoring up a 13-year-old girl in jack nicholson's hot tub and taking advantage over it. he pled guilty to a lesser charge, but he got cold feet when he thought the judge in the case 30 years ago was going to put him in prison. >> that's right. polanski thought there was a wink and a nod with the judge and that he would only have to serve the amount of jail time he has spent in a psychiatric facility. they sent him to a psychiatric facility and he was being evaluated. and his -- he thought or his lawyer told him, this was at least what polanski said, that the sentence would just be time served and he would be released, but of course the judge then started to send messages that maybe he was going to send polanski to jail. polanski then fled the country, but bear in mind, he was charged with an extremely serious crime. this girl was 13 years of age at the time, as you have indicated, she was liquored up. it is a rape under u.s. law. it is a serious felony and a serious crime under swiss law. >> right. polanski, his lawyers and a bunch of hollywood supporters would say, look, time has passed. the victim has since come down on who lal skooen polanski's side saying to perspective forget the whole thing. you still need to come to court and follow the rule of law in this country, which convicted you, and you need to answer that in court. paul, how do they get him to court now? >> well, i would say it is going to be very, very difficult for them to get him to court. remember, he's been living in france for much of the time. and for some reason, the french seem to have this idea that because he's a famous hollywood producer and makes great movies that the law doesn't apply to him. and the french have never agreed to extradite him. switzerland finally did, but, you know, the extradition law generally is that if the crime is a crime in the country where the person is being held, switzerland, the same crime that was committed in california, which in this case is rape, and you're holding the right person, extradition will occur. switzerland is not supposed to be looking at the underlying strength of the case. of course, polanski pled guilty here. so it is shocking that the swiss are not extraditing, but there's a back story here about the case that arises out of a documentary that was done and the original d.a. with a guy named roger gunson who prosecuted polanski and made some statements that sort of implied maybe there was a back room deal with the judge and that polanski was not treated fairly. and the swiss now are looking at that and saying california authorities should have given a sealed transcripts of guns since testimony so that we could evaluate the fairness of the underlying charge. that's really what the swiss are basing this decision on, and it is very strange for them to do this. they are really not supposed to go into the underlying facts of the case. >> interesting to see if the state department now gets involved with this case. paul, thank you for joining us on breaking news this morning. the swiss deciding not to send roman polanski back to los angeles to face his sentence. now big questions about whether or not the united states can appeal the decision. thank you, paul. we'll today marks six months since the devastating earthquake hit haiti. as we have seen and heard, the recovery effort is painfully slow. wyclef jean who is from haiti and has raised millions of dollars earl earlier on ""american morning"" spoke with us. we asked him what positive signs he has seen on the ground there. >> what is positive is the spirit of the haitian people. you know, as far as the reconstruction, we are six months in. you know, minus the death, which we saw the day after when we came in. we fill that there's no reconstruction being done. it has taken the people to be frustrated, so i just take enough time in six months. a lot of guys like behind me, there are still people all over the city sleeping in tents. >> that billions of dollars pledged for rebuilding, where is the money and the progress? >> anderson cooper is digging deeper on that live in port-au-prince. anderson, you were there through much in the wake of this earthquake. now you are back again. we are seeing some pictures with things looking exactly the same when this first happened. what are you seeing? >> yeah, it is incredibly shocking to see that. more than 1.5 people are living in shelters. this is exactly the same as six months ago when it first got set up here. if anything, it is a more permanent campground. that's pretty depressing to see. in terms of what's been done, the heed humanitarian need of more than 1 million people have loornlly been met in the camps. many have electricity, but it is spotty. there's chemical toilets for people to use. they can get access to food, so you don't have people dieing in the streets like six months ago. that being said, anything long term really has not been -- nothing long term has been accomplished. there's still rubble all throughout the city, and the estimates are saying at a current rate it will take many, many years to get rid of all the rubble. until you get rid of the rubble, you can't have them rebilling where they were. even if they do, there's nothing to guarantee them that nothing will happen again in the next earthquake. so there are a number of things that need to be done that have not been done. and the $5.3 million pledged by countries around the world will be used over the next 18 months. only 10% according to the former president bill clinton has actually been delivered so far, so only a small percentage of the money that's been promised here as been delivered. and there's a lack of transparency and concerns about disorganizations on the ground. >> anderson, we have been hearing from relief workers and wyclef jean, it doesn't seem like there's much movement from the government in a positive way are. those features going to be accessible to you to put the screws to them and see what is taking them so long? >> we certainly hope so. we are going to be over at the palace later today and hope to talk to people there. we are going to interview former clinton who is co-chairing the committee. he wakes up every morning heartsick that more has not been accompanied. >> good luck all week as you and your team report there all week long. anderson cooper tonight, primetime, 9:00 eastern. harry king, larry king will have a special report. and at 10:00, anderson cooper talks to former president bill clinton, the u.s. envoy to haiti. also still ahead, we are switching gears here. a little bit of reality show meets the morning show. the ultimate catch chad ochocinco is looking for love. he joins us to talk more about it. 36 minutes past the hour. the most comfortable line of furniture in existence. it's a motion line of furniture that conforms to your body and supports your head, neck, and back seamlessly in any position, leaving your entire body feeling rested and rejuvenated.
