biggest singers and stars. that and more right here right now on cnn. hello, everyone. i'm don lemon. if you joined us tonight at the top of the hour, you're going to get an exclusive. there is a major political boost tonight for republican presidential hopeful newt gingrich. a surprise announcement by his former rival, herman cain. >> i hereby officially and enthusiastically endorse newt gingrich for president of the united states! >> that was just last hour in palm beach, florida. a new poll shows that newt gingrich could use the help right now, because mitt romney leading gingrich 38% to 29% in a new poll, in a new survey. ron paul and rick santorum lag far behind. i want to go now to cnn exclusive. you're looking at now what happened to romney in the panhandle. before we go there, let's go to herman cain on the phone. you endorsed newt gingrich. why? >> number one, we talked about him being open to 9-9-9 which i happen to believe is a critical solution to embrace. as a result of that, he has asked me to co-chair his economic growth and jobs advisory council. the second reason i endorse him is when i look at replacing the tax code, energy independence, regulatory reform, sound money, all of the things that i talked about, he and i are 100% in lock step in terms of what we need to do. so when you find a candidate that basically running steel from the ideals and ideologies i was running on along with him embracing 9-9-9, it was a no-brainer and i thought the timing was right. >> i have to ask you this. i read the polls it shows newt gingrich is trailing romney now. do you think this will help newt gingrich, your endorsement? >> you know, in some instances endorsements may not make a difference. i don't endorse based on where somebody standing in the polls. i made my endorsement based on my belief and this individual as one of the people sfil in the primary process that i happen to believe embraced most of the ideals and ideologies i represented. i don't care where he stands in the polls. it's to let me know that he is the closest to what i rep he wanted when i was still a candidate. >> mr. cain, newt gingrich has been dpleekts poor reviews. people said he didn't do well in the last two debates, and there have been report he's tired. what do you make of his performance and for people saying he was tired during the last couple of debates? >> i think in the last debate he may have been a little bit exhausted. i've been on the campaign trail for president, so i know what that's like and looks like. i believe he might have been. he might not have been on his a game. that one debate isn't enough to basically turn people out. in the previous debate before that he was on his a-plus game. so you can't really draw a conclusion based on one debate performance because a lot of factors go into how a person would come across, given the pressure in the intense situation you're in. i don't think a lotd of people will focus on that. i think people will focus on where he stands on the critical kreis he faces to increase the tax code as well as stopping the increase in the fashl debt. >> i have to ask you this as well because mr. gingrich got criticism as of late about blaming the media in debates and blaming the media when he's out in public. you know about strategy because you've done this. you had had your bouts with the media where you said it was the media's fault. what do you make of that? do you think that mr. gingrich should change that strategy of not blaming the meetd ya? do you think that is a factor? >> i think that mr. gingrich pushing back on some of the media spin has been a plus. i applaud that because the american people don't care about all that the. the american people are waking up to the dirty gutter politics of how things work in some campaigns. i applaud the way he addresses the accusations by the media. most of the american people feel likely the same way. ip don't have a problem with the way he is addressing the media and some of the things they want to make the center of attention and the american people are saying we not to know how to fix things and how so solve problems. >> i have to ask you this question because you said you were suspending your campaign. as we've been looking at it this particular gop race, one moment you're up and one moment you're down. every single candidate. do you ever think at times maybe i should have stuck it out longer? do you have any regrets? >> no, i don't. raise is i got out of the race because i put family first, and offany regrets of that. that's the way it goes. i expected some things in this campaign, and things happened that i didn't expect. i didn't expect dirty gutter politics would come into play. i was not going to put my family through the constant spin and respin of false accusations. as a result i got out and have no regrets because now i decided i'll have an impact another way in terms of supporting a candidate still in the race as well as promoting my ideas and solutions at cainconnections.com in order to be part of the mooichlt creating. >> you got the plug in, so very good job. you mentioned your family, and i'm glad you mentioned your family. last we saw you and your family, your wife spoke out and we saw your children. how is your family now that you're out of the race? are things better with your family? is the pressure off? >> things have been great with my family for a long, long, long time. it's only the perception of people in the media who think things vant been great. my family, my wife and i, we're doing just great, and that's how i want to keep it. >> i meant is the pressure off because urnt in the spotlight so much anymore? zool absolutely. look, when you're running for president you're under a microscope and everything you say it. it turns out not being as much under the microscope, absolutely some of the pressure is off. that does not mean that i'm not still focused on the umt mission, which wases to get some of these solutions passed in congress and the ultimate mission is to defeat barack obama. >> herman cain, best of luck to you. the news is that herman cain is endorsing newt gingrich tonight at an exclusive at the top of the hour. there's new involving rick san tear yum. he spent the day off the campaign trail at home in pennsylvania, and just minutes ago his campaign announced he was canceling events surnd morning in florida because his 3-year-old daughter bella has been hospitalized. santorum speaks about her on on the campaign trail. a programming reminder for you. keep it on cnn for the florida primary on tuesday night. the special coverage will begin at 6:00 p.m. eastern. in oakland, california, tonight, we haven't seen this ruckus at an "occupy" protests in weeks. tear gas, smoke and protesters on the ground. there's dark from our affiliate kgo, police have been corralling hundreds of occupiers at a ymca building of the this stand offhas been going on for hours. >> whose's streets? >> our streets. >> the protesters called it move in day. police declared an unlawful assembly and moved to detain them. police say the protesters hit them with bottles, met pipes, rocks, spray cans and even ieds and burning flaring. officers through tear gas and snow gree grades to disperse the crowd. three are hurt so far. i want to bring in time ryan, he's a rormter from the radio. he's at the scene now. what's happening on the streets right now in. >> don, the arrest total is 40-plus and likely to go higher. these protestors are moving around the streets of oakland after daying ago promising to take over a vacant shlg. the building they attempted to take over hours ago was the vacant convention center, a large shlg in all of oakland. they have a line of oakland riot cops. they regrouped and an hour oor two ago they so it again. oakland is attempting to corral them. there were bricks thrown at the officers and there was a couple of loud blasts that scared all of us. what they ended up doing is rushing into a ymca. not a vacant building at all where people are inside working out. they said this crowd bum rushed them. they were not violent but very provocative. the police moved in and arrested about 20 or so inside the ymca. those arrests are continuing, don. >> we're talking about ieds and all of the things that protesters have said they hit them with. have you observed any of that? >> yeah, i've seen the tear gas on the side of the police and i've seen smoke bombs tossed at police. the violence is coming from both sides. one guy was really puzzled by an oakland police officer with a patton. i didn't see what was that algdly provoked that attack. a lot of people wake up tomorrow with sore eyes and tear gases. there's blows on the streets of oakland as well. >> how has this spoens been different than the one in october? it was very violent back in october. is this one different? >> the main difference right now, and the arrest totals maybe similar, a few dozen. what i haven't seen yet amount here on the west coast it's still early. i haven't seen the vanldzism to profound months ago. just dozens upon dozens of buildings with their window broken. i don't think that's ith case here tonight, dawn. if oakland can survive this with just a few dozen arrests and some gratety, i think they're going to -- the city, that is, is going to call this quite a successful night for the city of oakland. a lot of times it's a little later at night had this crowd frustrated gets out of hands and starting breaking things. >> thank you so much. we really appreciate you joining us this evening. the medical mystery has a a lot of people talking and has attracted the famous environmental activist erin brock vish. wendy walsh is here with us. she's sitting back to talk about this story. what exactly is going on with these 15 students. we're back in a moment live on cnn. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower cholesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal?

[ female announcer ] if whole grain isn't the first ingredient in your breakfast cereal, what is? now, in every box of general mills big g cereal, there's more whole grain than any other ingredient. that's why it's listed first. get more whole grain than any other ingredient... just look for the white check. more disturbing video we're about to show you on cnn. there was hardly any time to spare when residents near japan's fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant were forced to evacuate. people scrambled to leave, but the pets are still there that survived. we traveled to the so-called exclusion zone to see for herself. >> reporter: we are heading into the exclusion zone. this is the 20-kilometer radius around the fukushima nuclear plant, and this is the area that the government has said the radiation is too high for people to live in. some 70,000 people have evacuated out of the area. we wanted to see it for ourselves. what strikes you first is what you can't see, the people, gone almost an entire year, time has stood still except for the animals. something that you see all over this area is there's livestock. these are animals that have been abandoned for almost a year now. a scene repeated across the exclusion zone throughout these small farming towns, cows,s on trishs, doe mes indicated cats and dogs now running wild who have managed to stay alive in desperate skns. the remains of those who haven't litter the region. the animal rights group found this female puppy six weeks old dead from apparent disease. poor dog says a volunteer. the group came into the exclusion zone last month with the government's permission to rescue strays. then a sound from the back of a house. another doug is alive. a puppy and they carried out the dead puppy. the dogs two surviving puppies and the mother are in the ukc shelter. can you believe almost a year after this disaster there's still stray animals all over this area? it's shameful says this man. we kept asking the government to rescue these animals from the beginning of the disaster. he adds that there must have been a way to rescue the people and the animals at the same time. japan's environmental agency tells cnn it wants to rescue as many livestock and animals as it can but has chosen to take a prudent attitude because of the risk of humans in the contaminated area. this shelter is home to 350 cats and dogs all from the exclusion zone but survivors. now the next challenge. ukc has tracked down almost all the owners who can't care for them, since the residents, victims of the worst nuclear disaster in 25 years, remain homeless themselves. >> great story, and very brave to go inside. she joins us now from tokyo. what will happen to the rest of those animals? >> reporter: well, to put it very frankly, don, they're going to die or be rescued. since we're talking about an area that is cordoned off where people can't go in to feed the livestock or pull their dogs or cats out, the chances of rescue dim every single day. that's what we hear from the animal rescue groups. they're sneaking in and trying to feed the cattle left behind or pick up stray dogs or cats, but the prospects go dim every single passing day. >> i know you spoke to one of the last -- i think you called him the last man standing there and so my question is, is there a time frame when other people will begin to return to their homes? >> reporter: well, that guy is someone who has decided to stay in the exclusion zone despite the fact it is extremely dangerous. it has to be dedmamted and the soil has to be move add side with radiation in. there's no specific time frame that dpovt has told a resident they can return to they're land and live there safely. we've heard some estimates bantied about like maybe five years in lower contaminated areas, but in the higher contaminated communities to the north and northwest we're talking closer to 40 years if ever. >> the thing is it's probably going to be -- some of it i would imagine whim be a wasteland forever. when i spoke to some of your producers here, they said this area may like this way for the next 100 years or even longer. >> reporter: you have it absolutely right. it is completely possible that no people will ever be able to live there. and put yourself in these residents' shoes. if you have a child, do you want to move back there? are you going to believe a government estimate that a certain amount of topsoil has been removed, so now you can drink the water from there? now you can let your child play in the sandbox at school? that's the question. that's going to be a huge public debate as to whether or not it is ever going to be safe for people to remember. >> great reporting. we appreciate you joins us tonight from tokyo. coming up here on cnn, look at these. these rocks that you're looking at right now ten times more valuable than gold. they're some of the rarest on earth because they didn't come from earth. your saturday night mystery is next. on my journey across ameri, i've learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat... ...'scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. but do you really?

[ dogs barking ] [ dogs barking "star wars" theme ] >> how do you top that? >> they're going to try to top that one. they've done a great job leveraging what they did last time for this year's super bowl. there's another campaign that will come out. the most talked about commercial is from cars.com. it's an odd quirky commercial. they'll love it or hate it. >> i still like the wendy's commercial. thank you. >> great to see you. listen to this now. >> christina aguilera sings "the at last" at her funeral today. highlights after the break. but first we want to fwauk cnn heroes. fans of the nbc show -- keep going, comedy of ""the office"" know rain wilson as the dwight, but unlike his character, wilson is committed to help others. in 2007 he saw a story about one of our cnn heroes, an everyday person changing the world was so moved he lent a hand. five years later he's still involved and inspired. take a look. >> i was sitting in any trailer at "the office" and i was looking at the cnn website and they had heroes. i think it was in the first year, and i saw this story on this guy aaron jackson, a young kid from florida that grew up on a golf course. didn't have much direction in hi life. i went traveling in the third world and saw poverty, and he decided to just devote his life to making the world a better place. >> today we dewormed an estimates over 100 people. >> it's been great to help out aaron jack ston by doing fund raisers. i get to introduce him to people and help raise money and just help his organization really get moving. he's the amazing guy who is doing all the really hard work and give him the cash and let him do what he does best. they have four or five orphanages in haiti and i went out when they distributed the deworming medication out in the rural villages and towns. you distribute food and aid all around the country. so many kids can be eating their fill, but because they're so filled with worms they can't digest the feed. >> it's amazing. you see a kid highly anemic and not alert at all, and once you rid them of worms, they come back to life. we see an immediate impact. since the heroes segment in 2007, we've raised enough money with rain's help to deworm every child in haiti. >> anyone can be a hero. it takes a little bit of work. all right. >> if there's one thing to take away from my experience would be these stories are incredibly inspiring. they inspire me to step up my game and try and do more to help the world. political prize tonight for a republican presidential k r t.
