while you were out last night? another dead satellite falling out of the sky, this one, we're told, the size of a minivan. we think it's crashed back to earth. we just don't know where. also, we're going to be heading to ft. bliss this morning where everybody is celebrating. you can imagine why. their loved ones are coming home from iraq for good in a few weeks. a special good morning to the men and women watching us on the american forces network all around the world, thank you for what you do. we are going to start with herman cain this morning, under fire from his republican rivals. this time for recent comments he made about abortion. and what a platform they had to take shots at him last night. a major gathering of christian conservatives in iowa. shannon travis is in des moines. >> reporter: a big night here in des moines, iowa. the iowa faith and freedom coalition, a gathering of 1,000 iowans, many of them christian evangelicals. six presidential candidates came to court their vote. rick perry, michele bachmann, rick santorum, ron paul, newt gingrich and herman cain. herman cain was on the hot seat because of comments he made to our very own piers morgan earlier this week. he was talking about the issue of abortion. he made very clear, unequivocally, he's pro-life, but asked about what about in cases of rape or incest and his answer was interpreted by some people by leaving some room he would not support the overturning of roe v. wade. well, herman cain tried to drive a stake in any doubt that he isn't pro-life. >> i will not sign any legislation that in any way allows the government to be involved in it. i would strengthen all of our current laws that prevent abortion. i believe that abortion should be clearly stated and illegal across this country. and i would work to defund planned parenthood and would appoint judges to enforce the constitution. and i would make sure we didn't allow any bureaucrats to get in the way in order to protect the life of the unborn. >> reporter: herman cain hopes that that puts this controversy to rest, but not so fast. rick perry, the texas governor took to the stage and said herman cain needs to explain himself further. and michele bachmann, after her speech, she spoke to reporters and listen to her comparison between herman cain and president obama. >> i think it is very important that our candidate for the presidency is a pro-life candidate. we're a pro-life party. and the president of the united states says he is per se against abortion, but doesn't believe that the government should be involved. and that is the statement that mr. cain made and that's very disturbing for a lot of people. and it is very important that our candidate for president can clearly articulate that they're pro-life and they believe life deserves protection. >> reporter: these christian evangelicals gathered here tonight will be very important in the iowa caucuses and in the general election. shannon travis, cnn, des moines. well, four minutes past the hour now. we'll stick with politics and it appears that the crisis has been averted. you won't have to put off christmas shopping in order to vote in a presidential primary. that is because nevada has now flinched. they have backed down and moved their caucus into february. officials in nevada, you may remember, had come under pressure from the republican national committee when they decided to move their caucus up to january 14th. some republican presidential candidates say because of that move, they would actually boycott the january contest and new hampshire threatened to move its primary to december. here is how the nevada gop chairwoman described the controversy when i talked to her after tuesday's republican debate. listen to what she told me then. >> i'm still in communications with our governor, the rnc and the state executive board, but as of right now, we're on the 14th. >> okay. >> as of now. >> as of now, but that is different from the answer you gave me a few days ago when you said absolutely not on the table. >> uh-huh. >> it is on the table at least now moving the caucuses? >> i don't set the table at home. as of now, that's where we're at. >> well, the table has been cleared, it appears so here's where we are. february 4th, nevada is now going to have the caucuses on that day. so they'll go after iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, as well as florida. we'll check in once again with amy tarkanian, the gop chairwoman in nevada. she'll join us at 8:45 eastern time talking about this caucus change. why they decided to do it and the pressure they may have been under to move. also this morning, voters in louisiana gave bobby jindal a big vote of confidence. he easily won re-election with around 66% of the vote. the republican incumbent beat nine challengers. his next closest opponent finished with less than 20% of the vote. the war in iraq is officially coming to an end. president obama announced that all u.s. troops would be home for the holidays, bringing an end to the nearly nine-year war. listen to the secretary of state hillary clinton. >> i join the president in thanking all those who served so bravely in iraq, and particularly noting the thousands who lost their lives to bring this day to fruition. but even as our troops come home, the united states' commitment to iraq's future as a secure, stable democratic nation remains as strong as ever. >> right now, there is still around 39,000 u.s. service members in iraq. some of them there for third, a fourth tour. martin savidge is at ft. bliss in texas where he had a chance to talk with the family members of some of these troops. >> reporter: they are coming home. those are probably about the best words that any military base can hear and certainly here at ft. bliss, texas, well, it's no different. rumors have been circulating for a while, but it wasn't until president obama made the announcement that it was official, which means, now, that the 3500 or so members of the 1st armored division that have been serving in iraq will now be headed home no later than december 31st. i was speaking with denise young. she got the news with other military spouses friday. >> everybody is yelling and screaming and clapping and crying. and, yeah, it is very emotional. >> reporter: her husband john, it is his second deployment and denise says this good-bye was harder than the first. >> it's always a worry. anytime he's gone, whether at a training exercise, especially obviously when he's in iraq because you don't know the situation they're going into. >> reporter: for brooke, it's her first deployment. well, actually for her husband tyron. he's a logistics officer. she's thrilled he's coming back and thinks that it is time everyone comes back from iraq. >> it's been too long. definitely too long. a lot of his guys have been deployed four times over there area this is his first one but i think it is time, definitely. >> reporter: morgan can't wait to see her husband leonardo. can apparently their nearly 2-year-old, elio. when you heard the news about your husband's deployment being shorter than you thought it was going to be. >> we were ecstatic, very happy. >> reporter: thank you very much. >> we're happy, excited, ready for him to come home. >> reporter: by the way, denise never really felt far from her husband. she took one of his old uniforms and made it into a purse. you could say he never left her side. where did you get the idea? >> i had seen, you know, i just -- i'm a purse -- i love purses and so i said, let me cut this up and see what i can make. >> reporter: while the families here prepare to celebrate, everyone also realizes that the iraq war had a cost. and it was a high one. at least 52 soldiers from ft. bliss died in iraq. and then on top of that, there are another 5,000 soldiers from here that are serving currently in afghanistan. for them, and their families, their worries and that war are far from over. martin savidge, cnn, ft. bliss, texas. also news we're just getting in this morning. the autopsy on former libyan dictator moammar gadhafi has been completed. our dan rivers is joining me now. he is in the capital of tripoli and, dan, no real surprises here about the autopsy results. >> yeah, that's right. we haven't got the full results of the autopsy, but what we're told by the chief pathologist, he told us that the autopsy on moammar gadhafi, his son and the defense minister has been completed. gadhafi, he said, was killed by gunshot wound to the head, but we have no detail about whether that was a gunshot wound that was inflicted at close range or whether that was, as the ntc is suggesting, from cross fire. the detailed report will be handed to the attorney general's office here. and we then may get some more detail about exactly what they think happened. we thought it was performed at misrata hospital. and that officials from the prosecution's office, hospital officials were present, but no independent international officials were present during the autopsy, which is what the u.n. and other bodies were pressuring for. and we're now told the body will be returned to the same place where i saw them yesterday, which is essentially a market outside of misrata where the public has been turning out to look at the body of moammar gadhafi. >> you're talking about how the public has been viewing the body, but what about the family? do you know of any plans for the family to get the body of gadhafi? >> well, we certainly heard reports that the family had asked for the bob body to be ha over but there is no clarity on whether that will happen or whether, as has been suggested earlier, that they would just bury gadhafi's body in secret somewhere. i think they're slightly kind of stuck as to what to do because on the one hand, they don't want to sort of shrine to gadhafi be created at his grave, but on the other hand, they don't want to appear too callous and too insensitive to his tribe, the al gadhafi tribe, which, you know, potentially is going to be hugely alienated and angered if his body is not handed over. so they're in a difficult spot. and, you know, at the moment, all we know is that the body is going back on public display, completely contrary to tradition here that dictates the body is buried as soon as 24 hours after the death. that time frame has come and gone. and we have no clarity on what they're going to do next. >> dan rivers for us in tripoli. we'll check in with you again. thanks so much. this autopsy comes as libyans are celebrating freedom from the former dictator. look and listen. >> libya's transitional government expected to officially declare itself liberated. ceremony set to begin in just a few hours. comes after 42 years of iron-fist rule by colonel gadhafi. h his corpse has been on display. we don't know where or when he'll be buried. he was killed thursday after being captured by rebel fighters near his hometown of sirte. we'll go live back to tripoli and benghazi later this hour for the national liberation day. that's coming up in about 20 minutes from now. another note for you from the continent there, the african continent, u.s. officials warning americans in kenya of a possible terrorist attack there. and they're urging americans to delay any plans to travel to kenya. the threat apparently comes from the al qaeda-linked group al shabab. it follows a recent decision by kenya's government to send troops into neighboring somalia to search for al shabab members. islamic militants are expected in a string of kidnappings. and al shabab has been on the list of state terrorism organizations. we're at 14 minutes past the hour. it is big nfl sunday. the chicago bears, tampa bay buccaneers have a game today. but it won't be in chicago. won't be in tampa bay. it's in london. the nfl trying to sell nfl football to the brits. is that a tough sale, though?

>> they're thinking perhaps the indian ocean. when this thing -- they go back through the atmosphere, it is very hostile environment, this thing breaks up in a multitude of pieces. some could be smaller than your coffee cup, some could be smaller than that but some could be several hundred pounds. >> you give me the number. for whatever reason, i get nervous when i hear there is a satellite falling out of the sky. you say, there's 1 in a 1 billion chance you'll get hurt. >> we need a satellite umbrella. there was some large hail that fell in parts of oklahoma just yesterday. one of the reasons why is because of an area of low pressure that was drifting through parts of oklahoma. we have video for you. there you see it right there. you got hailstones. the next to it, little element of america's favorite pass time. a little comparison there. they have hail sales, automobiles that are damaged by hailstones and you can get a good deal if you don't mind a car that is all dimpled and stuff. let's talk about more of that hail and possibly more hail we might see this morning. maybe some small stuff. this area of low pressure this is cruising its way from oklahoma, back to portions of arkansas and louisiana. and where we have this thing setting up, got the area of low pressure right about -- come on, let's get this thing working. here we go. the low setting up right here. a lot of wind popping up here. if you're in shreveport to baton rouge, get ready, you have the combination of the wind and the rain. the big weathermaker, right here, easy to see, this area of low pressure, morning showers can be expected that wi. that will eventually move into arkansas, alabama, parts of the florida panhandle. cool and dry in the northeast. to the west, very sunny. i'll tell you something else we'll be seeing out there, a little marine layer that should last through midmorning before dissipating. 73 in albuquerque. 83 your high in dallas. 77 in kansas city. 62 in minneapolis. 85 in houston. and 78 in new orleans, back out along the eastern seaboard. 66 in washington, new york, with 60. very quickly as you wrap things up, the tropical outlook, you're watching this area of disturbed weather east of central america. right now, national hurricane center giving this about a 70% chance of further development. we'll keep a sharp eye on it for you. t.j., that's the latest. >> reynolds, thank you, kind sir. 19 minutes past the hour now. hundreds of people paid their final respects saturday to one of indycar's most talented and most popular drivers. dan wheldon. he was killed in that horrific crash at the indy 300 in las vegas last sunday. a funeral was held for him at the first presbyterian church in st. petersburg, friday. his fellow indycar drivers were all pallbearers. indycar is holding a public service today to celebrate his life. he was a two-time indianapolis 500 winner. he was 33 years old. we turn now to the world series where some are describing it as one of the greatest performances in world series history. it came from mr. albert pujols of the st. louis cardinals. they have now taken a 2-1 lead over the texas rangers. but listen to the night he had. three home runs. you're hearing me right. three home runs, brought in six runs, five hits altogether, only babe ruth and reggie jackson ever hit that many homers in a world series game. also big game today for the nfl. the game is not happening in chicago or in tampa bay. the two teams that are participating. it is actually happening in london. they are heading over because this is the fifth regular season game that has been held over in london since 2007. this is part of the nfl's drive to export the game to other countries. the nfl commissioner says having teams play overseas periodically will help grow the fan base. we're at 21 minutes past the hour now. a 5-year-old missing child, missing almost two weeks now, and some, including her family, are openly questioning why the case has not gotten more national attention. part of my conversation with the missing child's grandmother is just ahead. stay with us.

body. the 11-month-old child disappeared from her home. the dog discovered that scent on the floor of the parents' bedroom. deborah bradley admits she was drunk the night her baby vanished. she said releasing the information about the cadaver dog's find will only derail the search for whoever took her. also, another case of a missing child. maybe not getting the same kind of attention as baby lisa. but a vigil in arizona overnight may help. at least they're hoping it will bring attention and find 5-year-old jhessye shockly. she disappeared almost two weeks ago now. her mother was out running errants and her older cybillings were supposed to be watching her. police are now counting on an $11,000 reward to help generate some information about little jhessye. the search of the neighborhood has surrounded up nothing and yesterday jhessye's grandmother told me she's not happy with how the police have been handling the case. >> there is no way you should stop looking for a 5-year-old child that come up missing after two days. when i first arrived from california, i was so happy, i saw the command post, and all this activity was going on. but not once did i see somebody going through that house which i just assumed they probably did before i got there, but they were just sitting at this command post all day, every day. and then the day after i got there, they just left, you know. they told me they was in and moving the command post. but you don't stop looking for a child after two days, take an amber alert down after two days and just -- we don't hear anything else from anyone for over a week until i just was outraged about it and started speaking out. >> now, she openly is wondering why baby jhessye's case has not gotten more attention, certainly got some attention on the local level, but hasn't gotten any national attention. i'll put the question of why to the president of peas in their pod, a nonprofit group that helps find missing minority children. on this program yesterday, she said it is important to appoint someone to aggressively lobby for media attention. >> as you heard from the grandmother, shirley, she really has been going after the press and trying to get support and she's gotten it, but it has taken a lot of energy. that's one thing we tell families, you should appoint somebody to be your point person that will do the leg work, because it is something that really needs to be done. >> she said other relevant facts about family members in the case are also important and in this particular case of baby jhessye, her mother had actually spent time in prison for child abuse. but still, borders says the focus should stay on the child right now. we're at 26 minutes past the hour. police have arrested a mother and her boyfriend

[ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. i tell you what i can spend. i do my best to make it work. i'm back on the road safely. and i saved you money on brakes. that's personal pricing. we are just past the bottom of the hour on the cnn sunday morning. i'm t.j. holmes. thank you for spending part of your day here with us. it is a day that dawns a new era in libya. the north african nation puts 42 years of moammar gadhafi's dictatorship behind them. at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, libya's national transitional council will hold a ceremony. they're expected to formally declare the country's liberation. but the announcement comes as questions escalate surrounding the death of moammar gadhafi, whose body has been on display in refrigerated cooler in misrata. within the last hour, we have gotten word on an autopsy on gadhafi has been completed. no surprise. the pathologist is saying that gadhafi died from a gunshot wound to the head. after libya's immediate future, a spokesman for the ntc says elections and the draft of a constitution are in the works and rebuilding the nation's life blood industry, oil. the ntc chairman says libya is already producing 300,000 barrels of oil daily, a huge change from its months old civil war when hardly any oil was being produced. more now on the celebrations today. cnn's dan rivers on the line with me in the capital of tripoli and nick walsh in benghazi. nick, let me start with you. how does it look so far and what will we expect to see over the next few hours? >> reporter: well, great anticipation here in central benghazi, not far away from one of the key attacks on a gadhafi compound that began the revolution. we're hearing the celebration, gunfire and sirens as police begin to clamp down on this area to make it secure for the key speech. in five hours time in which the leading figure of the national transitional council will declare this country independent. a key moment, frankly, which marks the second phase, perhaps a harder road almost for libya as it has to retain unity in the months and years ahead to spend that vast resources from the oil, from frozen assets of the gadhafi regime abroad, to try to put this country on a road to progress after the rather horrible eight months of war. t.j.? >> and, nick, this is going to be symbolic, what we're going to see today, but as a practical matter, does this mark a transition as well? >> reporter: absolutely. i mean, i think there is going to begin a domestic political fight for power. mustafa jaleel giving the speech. there is going to be severe immediate challenges for the interim government here, many wounded to deal with, large members of men in military uniforms, rebel fighters around me who are still armed who need to be assimilated into the security forces, or found work elsewhere. and then that big task of rebuilding a city after the damage of this war, using those billions of dollars held abroad and the billions of dollars available from the oil this country can sell on a daily basis to bring the country into some kind of improved future. so people see the strife and sacrifice of the past few months translating into better lives in the immediate future. t.j.? >> one last thing on benghazi, we know tripoli is the capital, but benghazi, a place, plays such a pivotal role and the capital of the rebellion that rose up against gadhafi. what will benghazi, what is benghazi's future? >> reporter: it will obviously hold that place in libyans' memories. people are wondering why the key celebration, the key speech is being held here and that does raise the question of unity in the months ahead. tripoli being the capital, this being the capital of revolution, already people talking about the different sacrifices made by different cities in this months long war and people trying to secure their place post rebellion in some recognition of the sacrifices made. so certainly, yes, the concerns about unity among the libyan people in the months ahead paramount in celebration here in the capital of the revolution, not in the capital of the country, tripoli. >> nick walsh for us in benghazi, thank you so much. just hours away from the celebrations on their day of liberation. 39 minutes past the hour now. we'll turn back to the u.s. and specialty license plates are being pushed for once again in texas. and these plates are offensive to a lot of drivers and lawmakers because, well, you can see there, it bears the confederate flag, similar tags are already on the road in at least nine other states. and now texas could be next. also this morning, president obama, as we look ahead this week, president obama will be heading out west, spending some time on the hollywood hot seat. you want to see it?

absolutely. this is a major earthquake. but earthquakes have happened in this region before. you see this area shaded in red, that is the epicenter in far eastern turkey. georgia to the north. armenia, azerbaijan, iraq this is close to the triborder area of iran, iraq and turkey. no reports as of yet with regard to damage. but those reports at times often come slowly. this is anywhere from again a 7.3, there may be aftershocks. we're looking at video being fed in now this is stuff that is just fresh. we're looking at it for the very first time, we're sharing it with you. you remember the earthquake we had on the eastern seaboard, a lot of confusion, same thing happens here. you have about 134 magnitude 7.0 earthquakes that happened a year worldwide. and when they do, of course, it is going to cause a wild reaction. you can see people walking around, they're checking the structure of their buildings. a lot of people getting out, the big fear is when you have an initial shock, t.j., it can cause some damage, some unseen at first, but if you have an aftershock that is slightly smaller, like a 6.7, 6.5, that may be enough to cause a building that doesn't appear to be weakened, it may be enough to cause the building to collapse altogether. and that's the big fear is if you're out in the open, you should be okay, but if you happen to be in a building, a structure with some kind of damage to it, there is the fear that it is going to just fall like, say, a house of cards, so to speak. it is something that bears watching and we will definitely have -- i'm not saying we might, we will have aftershocks in this region. we'll keep you up to speed on that. >> if we can, go ahead, rerack that video for us if you can, we're seeing this video for the first time with our viewers, this is coming in to us from cnn turkey. you don't see a lot of damage. this is what people naturally do, go outside when a earthquake takes place. this is one area we're seeing, many other areas, maybe there is more damage and we haven't gotten these reports of damage and injury just yet. something key here to remember, we don't know the depth, that's so important. you hear about an earthquake being this strong, i haven't seen on the information yet from geological survey, but the depending on the depth of an earthquake, it can be more damaging than others, even though 7.3 might sound like a huge, very powerful earthquake, depending on how deep it was, the epicenter, it may not be as bad as it sounds quite frankly. >> new information just came in. 4.5. that's your depth. the depth of this. there is the possibility of substantial damage. we're seeing this video, it is really not, at this point, something that we're going to be seeing right away. that information may come in pretty soon. this is our quake map. take a look at this the usgs shake map in eastern turkey. you see the places where you have the violent, heavy shaking place at the epicenter. this may be hard for you to see. you have smaller communities, one community on the other side of this body, this lake is over here, certainly not right on top of a population cluster. but that doesn't mean you can't have damage in places that are far beyond. just, again, we use our own experience. you remember when we had the earthquake on the eastern seaboard. people in atlanta, georgia, far away from the epicenter, were feeling a little shaking. washington, d.c., the nation's capitol was getting some of it. where you see here, obviously, some video being fed in. you're seeing some of the furniture that is being toppled over. a lot of windows rattling. you see the window treatments shaking a little bit. you see the people, they're doing what people do, hey, are you okay? going from door to door, neighbor to neighbor, asking people their condition, how are they doing, watching out for relatives and friends. >> reynolds, thank you so much. this information just coming in to us and some of the video coming in to us. we'll continue to collect information because we know we'll get updates by the minute here and we'll pass them on to our viewers. reynolds, thank you so much. we'll check in with him again. 16 minutes past the hour. now to thailand, where it may take four to six weeks we're told for floodwaters to recede there, according to the prime minister. the country is experiencing its worst flooding in in 50 years. paula hancocks is joining us live from the capital of ban coo kock. >> we were at the flood relief headquarters today and twill be a couple of weeks before the situation even starts to get better. more suburbs in bangkok, in the north, are being submerged in water over the past couple of days, seeing people having to move out because the water has risen from ankle level to waist level within a matter of hours. the prime minister and also many of the officials are still saying that they are confident they can keep central bangkok safe. we just spoke to the prime minister earlier on and she was confident that the drainage situation in bangkok was going to be okay and they were going to be able to keep the business district dry, but that doesn't help those who are in the suburbs themselves. and there is a lot of misery there. thousands of people have had to leave their home. there is at least 110,000 evacuees at this point. many of them living in tents, in domestic airports. the arrivals hall and departure hall turned into an evacuation center and could go on for a couple more weeks. the expectation is these waters will not recede for a month or a month and a half. t.j.? >> and you mentioned how many people had been evacuated. but what are the latest numbers you're getting in terms of the number of people who may be injured and seeking treatment, but also the number of deaths we have seen because of this flooding. >> well, the death toll at this point is over 350 people. and we know that many people have also obviously been injured. now there are many people still trying to evacuate areas as different suburbs are being submerged in water, those people are trying to move to airports, trying to move to schools which have been turned into evacuation centers. now, one spot of bright news, farther north, this isn't just bangkok this is happening in, this is happening across the whole of the central and northern thailand, through the north, the waters do appear to be receding somewhat. but, of course, all that water has to go somewhere. it is coming south, coming towards bangkok and that's why the bangkok suburbs are being hit at this point. >> paula hancocks for us in bangkok. thank you so much. we're at 19 minutes past the hour. stay with us on this "cnn sunday morning," following a lot of stories for you this morning including that breaking story out of turkey, where we're getting word of a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. stay with us.
