the courts of corruption. her husband and four others could also be charged criminally this morning. we'll bring you the latest developments as soon as they become available. >> zoraida, it's not even 5:00 and you said perverting. france is ushering in a new era with the swearing in of the new president fran so i hollande. he's expecting to push new ways to deal with the new crisis. hollande has blasted the way people have dealt with the crisis. he's france's first socialist president since 1995. >> jpmorgan's c.e.o. stands before his shareholders in tampa, florida, to explain this $2 billion trading disaster. they'll be voting on dimon's $23 million pay package. we've also learned that the senate banking committee will schedule hearings in the next few weeks. now president obama is weighing in. he spoke to abc's "the view" about the measures that are needed to end wall street's pension for risk once and for all. >> this is why we passed wall street reform. this is the best or one of the best managed banks. you could have a bank that isn't as strong, isn't as profitable making those same bets and we might have had to step in and that's exactly why wall street reform is so important. >> while in new york city to tape "the view" the president also picked up some campaign donations from wall street heavy weights at by the president of the blackstone investment firm. we're getting a preview of never before seen evidence in the trayvon martin case. prosecutors have filed an eight page document listing several witnesses that the state plans to call to testify against defendant, george zimmerman. the document also details new evidence including crime scene photos of zimmerman. trayvon martin's autopsy report and video from the night of the shooting, including the convenience store where prosecutors believe trayvon went that night. >> it is two minutes past the hour here. now to the terror on a highway in mississippi. authorities on the hunt for a killer who they say may be posing as a police officer pulling cars over and shooting drivers dead. they are asking for the public's help now after two deadly shootings over the past week. that took place about 50 miles apart. police in the state are actually telling people, don't pull over if they see flashing lights. >> the thing that we want people to realize, if they feel like they're going to be pulled over, the first thing to do is turn on your flashers and dial 911. >> oh, my goodness. very scary stuff. martin savidge is live in atlanta. have they confirmed it is somebody dressed as a police officer pulling these cars over? >> no, they haven't, zoraida. good morning to you. they haven't confirmed it because there are no witnesses to these particular events, but they have noted similarities in this case. quite frankly, it is pretty troubling. remember we were all focused on that case of that kidnapped tennessee family and the murder kidnapping story. at the same time there was another one evolving. on may 8th there was a 74-year-old man driving from nebraska on a remote part of a northern mississippi highway. his body was found at 1:30 in the morning shot to death. then three days later, three days later 2:15 in the morning, she's found dead outside her car. authorities believe the cases are link the. they believe there's something else in common. listen to what they have to say. >> i'm not saying a man in a police car, what we're putting credence into is that a common denominator we have between both incidences is that we believe both vehicles were on the side of the road and you tend to look at how vehicles got to the side of the road and that's one of the things that we're certainly looking at. >> both cars were in working order, and this is what they're surmising. so why did the drivers pull over? the fear is they may have pulled over because of somebody posing as a police officer. again, no witnesses. they're alerting the public to the problem and they're telling people, look, if you see flashing lights in the rear-view mirror, it's late at night, drive to a well lit, populated area, and at the same time pick up your phone and call 911 to make sure the officer is legit. if they're not, you're also notifying authorities that you've got somebody behind you who you do not know. it is a very scary situation. >> it is, indeed. there are casinos along that area. a lot of people driving through that highway. thank you. >> you're welcome. this is cnn breaking news. >> okay. less than five minutes after we reported to you that we are waiting to find out whether former news international ceo rebecca brooks will face criminal charges, we have learned that she will. former news international ceo rebecca brooks seen here and her husband will face criminal charges for her role in the u.s. phone hacking scandal. they are going to be charged with perverting the -- i'm sorry, the u.k. scanned zal. they're going to be charged with perverting the course of justice. that is according to british press. we are expecting a press conference right now. let's go to it and listen in right now to a press conference announcing those charges. >> allegations of phone hacking and corruption of public officials in relation to the news of the world and the sun newspapers. following charge these individuals will appear on a date to be determined. no further action will be taken against the seventh suspect. may i remind all concerned that these six individuals will now be charged with criminal offenses and that each have a right to a fair trial. it is very important that nothing is said or reported which could prejudice that trial and for these reasons it would be inappropriate for me to comment further. thank you. >> well, that was short and sweet according to british law, they tend not to give out too much information prior to a charge. that was the crown, the government's attorney, announcing that rebecca brooks and her husband will be charged in the u.k. phone hacking scandal. they will be charged with perverting the course of justice during that phone hacking scandal. >> thank you, ali. >> john edwards daughter, cate, could be called to testify as the former senator's defense team tries to convince the jurors that nearly $1 million was used up to cover up edwards' extramarital affair and that that money constituted gifts, not illegal campaign contributions. lara haggard, a former chief financial officer for the edwards campaign in 2008 testified yesterday that she never considered the money to be a campaign contribution. edwards consultant testified that he spoke with one of the benefactors who gave edwards the money that he intended it to be a gift, not a campaign contribution. the trial hinges on that. was he using campaign money or were these just gifts to john edwards. >> it is seven minutes past the hour. a wild fire burning out of control right now outside of fort collins, colorado. 60 firefighters working through the night staying on the scene to guard some nearby homes. officials say they aren't in any immediate danger. 911 calls went out to residents warning them they may have to get out. >> boxing up stuff. that's what i was doing before you showed up. i was boxing up what i would like to take with me immediately. hopefully that doesn't come with that. >> chipper. that's what i thought. she's getting prepared because she's been warned. the fire burning through dried trees and brush and growing to close to 300 acres now. a security supervisor at newark liberty international

more than 30 private security guards at the airport and had access to a secured area. it's not clear how he passed numerous background checks with the new jersey state police and border patrol. >> and a massive sinkhole in florida is now growing even bigger. it's forcing at least one family to leave their home. the sinkhole first appeared friday in a backyard. this is right outside of gainesville in jonesville. it's 80 by 40 feet. it swallowed a barbecue grill and is now inching towards a shed. the property has been condemned and the family living out there has moved out. >> that's a small house. >> the story that we business geeks have been talking about all week, facebook is raising the price range for its ipo. brand new information, by the way. shares which were expected to go for less are now going to sell for 34 to $38 each up from the previous 28 to $35 range. that means when it goes public on friday morning, the value of the company could top $100 billion. zoraida, that doesn't mean any of us will get in in that 34 to $38 range. >> is it a surprise that that happened? >> when a stock is really well subscribed, when people really want to buy it this often happens. >> okay. all right. unfortunately we're not going to get. >> we're not going to get anywhere close to that. >> i keep waiting for e trade. >> e. trade, sh wab, ameritrade will have them. you have to be a

investors have already voted. this is the annual meeting after they've already submitted all the prospects. what kind of blow back will he face from investors in the bank? >> well, look, this is a guy, christine, that's widely regarded as one of the best on the street. the president this week calling jamie dimon one of the smartest bankers out there. people have a lot of confidence in him. frankly, he's been very forthright about this loss saying to the media, look, we were dead wrong. we made a big mistake and we're going to clean it up. two big things will happen today. most of those votes are already in. however, the people that do come here to jpmorgan's headquarters will vote on two things. one is stay on pay. wall street reform, executive compensation, what should that look like? with citigroup they voted against the $15 million pay package for ceobikram. also there will be the question of the role of chairman and ceo. should those be one? he has held those respectively since 2005, 2006. he holds those top spots. that will be a big question here. you've heard center corker out of washington calling for a hearing on that. this is becoming, as you know, christine, very, very political. >> certainly this is a day that's going to test jamie dimon's political skills, public relations skills, and the skills he has in dealing with shareholders. the president weighing in on this on "the view." how political could this get, do you think? >> very political. the president did come out in a sense backing jamie dimon saying this is one of the smartest bankers on the street. he also said this is why wall street reform is so important. the president said, look, if this wasn't jpmorgan, which is widely regarded as sort of the king of wall street, then what would have happened? i also spoke with mike mayo, a banking analyst who covers j.p. analyst and who has a cell rating on the bank, very critical of the bank. he said if this was the head of one of the other big banks they might be ousted for something like this. i think jpmorgan has a little more leeway because they've exceeded their peers. key question, is this bank too big to manage with $2 trillion in assets. that's a question. we'll sit in on the shareholder meeting, hear what people are asking. >> thank you, poppy. pop pi in tampa. you know what's interesting, jamie dimon has been a democrat, right? >> right. >> a few years ago he was whispered about as being a treasury secretary. maybe that would be the feather in his cap. just recently this week and also this weekend he was saying he's just barely a democrat at this point. he's is disturbed and disgusted by what he's seen in washington in general. i think he was somebody who the president was defending him on "the view" he says he's just barely a democrat. >> from a layman's perspective, this guy has a lot of power. >> he does for a very big bank. it's a long story. this is a guy who cobbled together that power after being exiled from new york and built the banks up and built the empire. he went from a small town banker to a big time banker, small time banker again to now very big time banker. >> christine, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> commencement address or campaign speech?

>> i don't think so. i think she was probably expecting it. the fact that they put out a statement so quickly would suggest that they were expecting this decision. the file was passed from the police to what's called the crown prosecution service. it's like the district attorney i suppose the equivalent back in march so they've been mulling this around for a couple of months now and have decided that there is sufficient evidence, they feel, to go forward with a prosecuti prosecution. this will be a fairly lengthy process but will eventually result in a full-blown trial. we'll have to wait and see how they plead at that first hearing. >> dan, you did mention prison time. do we know how much time she potentially faces? >> reporter: well, i think in the past each charge of perverting the course of justice could carry one or two years in prison. the maximum that anyone has served recently, in the last 100 years or so, is about ten years. so if they are found guilty, they could be looking at several years in prison. >> all right. dan rivers, live in london for us. thank you. okay. riddle me this. a commencement address or a political speech? in the case of president obama and mitt romney, might have been a little of both this week. yesterday the president eager to court women voters delivered the commence pt address at barnard college and romney desperate to bring evangelicals on board chose liberty college on saturday. >> whether the cause is justice for the persecuted, compassion for the needy and sick, or mercy for the child waiting to be born, there is no greater force for good in the nation than christian conscience in action. >> after decades of slow, steady, extraordinary progress, you are now poised to make this the century where women shape not only their own destiny but the destiny of this nation and of this world. >> let's go live to washington where we're joined by cnn white house correspondent dan lothian and paul steinhauser. gentlemen, good morning to you. dan, let's start with you. tell us about president obama's strategy courting the female vote. >> reporter: that's right. first of all, this is a voting block that could very well determine who wins the election in november and you look at the most recent polling. mitt romney has inched up just slightly ahead of the president when it comes to support among women. this is a group that president obama won against john mccain back in 2008. so while that address, that commencement address that the president delivered yesterday in many ways was a very traditional one, it was focused not only at the women there in the audience but at the broader female audience as well across the country. you heard the president talk about equal pay, about fighting for a seat at the table, about taking control of your own health care matters. and the president, whether it's yesterday or whether it's out there on the campaign trail in key battleground states, never misses the opportunity to talk about strong women in his own life, the first lady, his mother, his grandmother. and, again, today we'll be sitting down on the popular television show "the view" he taped it yesterday, but it will air today, a large female audience there where the president will be talking about some serious matters but also having some fun as well as he tries to make female voters comfortable with the idea of giving him a second term. >> all right, dan. let's talk to paul about the evangelical voters. mitt romney, you know, obviously paul both of these candidates want to resonate with female voters. that will be more important overall in the campaign. but for mitt romney in particular, courting these evangelical voters who are not sort of picking him as their first choice throughout this primary campaign is going to be important. >> reporter: to win the evangelical vote, the social conservative vote which is part of the base of the republican party. candidates like rick santorum did better. liberty university, the evangelical school seemed like the natural choice. his speech, yeah, ali, it was heavy on faith and values, heavy on the family. he only mentioned same-sex marriage only once. he brought it up once saying he reinforces his view that, yes, marriage is between a man and a woman. he was reaching out to evangelicals, no doubt about it, but a lot of the speech was about the economy, about jobs. that's really mitt romney's wheel house. that is, i guess, the basis of his campaign for presidency, that he can do a better job, he says, than president barack obama when it comes to the economy and creating jobs. that's why you heard about that in his speech and that's why that's what he's back to concentrating on on the campaign trail. >> this is an issue. when mitt romney veers out of his wheel house. even in the economy, when he started talking about how he saved the auto industry, that came down on him like a ton of bricks. would it not be better for him to stick to what he knows and what he's good at rather than drifting to this area that was largely controlled by his opponents? >> reporter: you've seen him try to come back every time it was shifted away. you've seen them try to get it right back there. he's talking in iowa, battleground state, about the debt, federal spending. that is where he wants his campaign to be focused. >> paul, dan, good morning to both of you guys. thanks so much. we'll talk to you later. it is 39 minutes past the hour. an 18-year-old fisherman from panama who survived 28 days adrift at sea is suing princess cruise lines. he says one of the company ships could have stopped and rescued him and one of his two companions but it just kept going. listen to two passengers who were on the cruise ship last month, spotted vazquez desperately signaling for help. >> we could see him doing this with his shirt over and over and over. >> while we were on the ship the feeling of powerlessness because we would have liked to have somehow gone over there and rescued them. >> well, princess cruises calls the incident a case of, quote, unfortunate miscommunication. they say after the crew member was alerted by passengers, regretfully the captain of the star princess was never notified of the passenger's concern. vazquez's two fishing companions did not survive. >> wow. wow. water rocketing out of a water main after a car incident in venice beach, california. check out that water main. flooded nearby streets. >> oh, my goodness. >> at least one car in an underground garage where thousands of gallons of water, it went on for 90 minutes. ten engine companies responded to get it under control. >> oh, my gosh. parked in the wrong place at the wrong time. grown man beats up two teenagers on the street. the assault was captured on home video and it was posted online. police say this was not a random attack. we're going to explain in a moment. check out this picture. is this snow or is it foam? >> blowing snow. fierce, blowing snow. >> we'll tell you what it is when we come back. keep an eye out. 44 minutes past the hour. welcome back. man versus miners. disturbing video surfacing online this morning of a one-sided attack that has a suspect in severe trouble. alina cho joins us now. everything ends up on facebook. >> this is what led to the arrest. this is how police found it. this is the world we're living in, zoraida. good morning. good morning, everybody. it all started with a sucker punch. . a brutal neighborhood beatdown that was posted online. we have to warn you, the video you're about to watch is a little hard to watch. it begins with a group of men approaching three teens on the street. the teens are just hanging out having a conversation. now watch. winds up, punches one of the teens in the face. listen. >> oh [ bleep ]. >> oh, my goodness. >> now the attack lasts for about a minute. more punches. kicks are thrown. the victims, well, they don't appear to be able to fight back at all. now police say after viewing the video on youtube they were able to identify -- i know it's hard to watch. if you can see zoraida's face. they were able to identify 19-year-old baron euwing as one of the attackers. he was arrested and booked on a child abuse charge. he has since posted bail and has been released. euwing admitted to the beating and told police this was a motive, retaliation for being jumped by one of the teens a few days earlier. now as for the other attacker in the video, at this point, zoraida, we do not know who this person is and we do not know if he was arrested. we have identified one of the attackers. he posted bail, released. he said he was attacked first a couple of days earlier and that's why he went back. >> how did the police -- who alerted them about this video? >> it's interesting because it was an anonymous tip from a woman who said that she wanted to protect two of the victims. that is why she called in to police. they went on to youtube, the authorities, and soon after that they were able to identify baron euwing, again, the alleged attacker in this case. >> then the kids that we see in the video, how are they doing? >> you know, it's hard to say because they -- the authorities are not identifying them. they are minors. this is why there was a child abuse charge, because all of the victims are minors. authorities have spoken to them and they didn't suffer any serious injuries, but one of the fathers actually of the victims was tracked down by our affiliate, wftb and this is what he had to say. he wouldn't reveal his identity but listen. >> it was horrible. i mean, when i saw it, i just -- i just come unglued. i mean, i couldn't believe what i was looking at. >> i mean, if you're a father, imagine your worst nightmare. >> and you're watching it. >> to be able to watch it. of course he says that he hopes ultimately he hopes these attackers are convicted, put behind bars so they're not able to do this again. another case that we'll be watching very closely. unbelievable video. i mean, have to say, i watched it the first time yesterday. jaw dropped. and i had to watch it again because you really do have to watch it very closely to get a sense of what's going on. >> that was exactly my reaction as a parent watching that. you're unable to do anything. >> that's right. >> you definitely want that person prosecuted. alina cho, thank you very much. >> you bet. >> ali, back to you. we always do this. you keep doing this to me. >> 48 minutes past the hour. >> this camera i have doesn't have a clock. >> 48 minutes past -- 48 minutes -- you guys are trying to trick me so they don't invite me back. 48 minutes past the hour. why can't you go to christine. she has a clock. >> if it's not on the teleprompter, you don't know, my friend. >> truth is, it was not in the teleprompter. i do not know the time. there is news, christine. >> i have news headlines. cnn this morning, manhunt in mississippi. a killer may be posing as a fake cop pulling people over and shooting them. there were two fatal shootings just 50 miles apart in the past week. the vimgs, 74-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman both found dead in their cars. the texas a&m marching band will remain suspended throughout this year. the president of the school telling the school's board of trustees the band must be restructured before it will be allowed to get back together. new requirements may include tougher academic standards, more adults accompanying these band members on out-of-town trips. the death of band major robert champion exposing the culture of hazing there. it's official, the minnesota vikings getting a new stadium. the people are paying half of it. the governor signed a bill. the law commits the state and city of minneapolis to pay a combined $498 million. while the team will bring in $477 million in public financing. take a look at this incredible photo. a plane drowned in foam in a hanger at egland air force base in florida. the fire suppression system, which would be the fire suppression system, went off accidentally. the foam was 12 feet deep in the immediate after math. >> the one thing you need to know about your money today, facebook reports say has raised the price of its ipo. active experienced investors will have the best shot at 9 ipo price. if you want to try to buy it, remember these words. limit order. limit order. >> did you hear that. >> if i had hair to pull out, i would pull it out every time christine says that. >> it will not be a market order. >> ali is going to go in at a market order, aren't you?

>> good morning, ali. yes, some very interesting advice coming from authorities in mississippi, if you're driving on the highway in the middle of the night and a police officer is pulling you over, call the police. the reason for this is, as you point out, there have been two deadly shootings that took place last week, the first was on a tuesday at 1:15 in the morning, 74-year-old driving from nebraska gates parentally pulled over. they're not quite sure what's going on because there are no witnesses but they fear there may be a fake police officer that is pulling these people over. the second shooting took place three days later, another remote highway, northwestern mississippi, a female driver found dead just outside of her vehicle. authorities are putting two and two together and don't like how it adds up. >> i'm not saying a man in a police car. we're putting credence into is that a common denominator we have between both incidents is that we believe both vehicles were on the side of the road, and you tend to look at how vehicles got to the side of the road and that's one of the things that we're certainly looking at. >> you see these vehicles were not apparently broke be down, which is the quandary police have. why did the vehicles get to the side of the road. that's where they're thinking it might be someone pretending to be a police officer who then kills. the relationship between the two murders, they were 50-some miles apart, there were shootings in both cases. authorities won't go into any other details. turn on your flasher, call the police, go to a well-lit populated area. >> what a remarkable thing. i don't like getting pulled over just like the next person but that's not the thing that comes to mind. whether you're in mississippi or otherwise it's useful to know that is an option if you're getting pulled over before you do anything, i'd be worried police want me to roll down my window and do whatever it is they're asking and one worries about reaching for a phone and what that involves if you're legitimately getting pulled over. if you're not certain call 911 and say you've just been pulled over. just be careful not reaching down under seats and glove compartments. this is not the way it's supposed to go. thank you, martin. john edwards' daughter, cate could be called in to testify in his trial. laura haggard, former chief officer in the campaign in 2008 testified she never considered the money to be campaign contributions. edwards' consultant testified he had spoken to one of the wealthy benefactors who gave edwards money and insisted it was a gift and not a campaign contribution and that is what the case hinges on. a security adviser, newark liberty international airport is accused of being an illegal immigrant who stole the identity of a man killed 20 years ago. 54-year-old bimbo oual was using the identity of a man jerry thomas and was supervising more than 30 private security guards at the airport and had access to all sorts of secured areas. it's not clear how he passed numerous background checks with the new jersey state police and border patrol. a wildfire burning out of control outside ft. collins, colorado. 60 firefighters working through the night staying on the scene to guard nearby homes. officials say they aren't in immediate danger. 911 calls went out to residents warning they may have to get out. put down your coffee and look at this, a massive sink hole in florida, growing figurer, forcing the one family who lives in that home to leave. the hole is now 80 by 40 feet. it swallowed a barbecue grill and inching toward a shed. the property has been condemned and the family has moved out. facebook is raising the price range for its highly anticipated ipo shares, are expected to go to institutional investors for between $34 and $38 each, up from the previous $28 to $35. that means when the social networking firm finally goes public on friday morning the value could top $100 billion and also means if you are not one of these experienced high net worth traders, you're not getting anywhere close to that price. >> institutional investor?

he's the chairman and ceo. could there be a move to put in somebody else as chairman? >> it's a good question. good morning, christine. there are going to be people calling for that. there are three big things we're likely going to hear from the shareholders down here today. its first one is really who knew what, when, when it came to the $2 billion loss. does jamie dimon at the helm of the bank have control over what is happening. back in april, media reports arose about the potential $2 billion loss, potential at the time, actual now, he called it a tempest in a teapot. he has since said he was dead wrong but did he have a grasp? the second thing, what about pay for him and the top lieutenants at jpmorgan, what is their executive pay package going to look at? shareholders get a say on pay and that key question, should jamie dimon hold both of the top spots at the bank, ceo and chairman, he'd held them respectively since 2005-2006, is that too much control over america's biggest bank with $2 trillion in assets. this loss is being announced late last week and then this once a year shareholder's meeting coming today, christine. >> so there's this question about does jamie dimon have too much power and the corporate governance experts don't like it when someone's chairman and ceo at the same time. you need to have that balance but does it show maybe the banks are so big and too big and too complicated? should they be simpler? will those questions come up? >> reporter: i think they will. you heard elizabeth warren who is running obviously for the senate in massachusetts, calling for that. you said banks should be boring. i want boring, simpler banking. you had the can he question of regulations and ali had a great conversation with sheila bair, they have a hard time keeping a handle on the complex engineering. when you have people inside looking at the banks you have more money to fall back on, she thinks that needs to increase but so interesting, christine, jamie dimon has been outspoken against parts of wall street reform, not all of it but one of the parts against is the volcker rule, banks betting with their money making a direct mark to profit. he said this would have been allowed because of the economic hedging offsetting risk so we're going to hear a lot about all of that definitely in the meeting today. >> thanks, poppy. it's interesting, if jamie dimon didn't know about the loss, how could regulators know about the loss, that's talking about a simpler bank, when did jamie dimon know something is going wrong. >> there are two possibilities here and they're both terrible. one is jamie dimon knew, in which case it feeds into what everybody thinks about the bankds and greed and the one he said he didn't know and if he didn't know that's scary, too. >> if you're a shareholder you're mad about both possibilities. >> it's one thing ordering a bad batch of milk for the store and quite another when you lose $2 billion so this is the trick that people have to get their heads around. $2.3 billion. >> i think it's remarkable you can lose that kind of money and be okay. >> right. >> 25 minutes past the hour. you see graduates. what do they see? hundreds of registered voters. coming up, whether president obama and mitt romney gave commencement addresses or campaign speeches to college grads. with good morning to you and welcome back to "early start." . i'm zoraida sambolin. here he's happening at half past the hour. big developments in the uk phone hacking scandal. criminal charges have been filed against former news international ceorebekah brooks. she and her husband charlie accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. the couple released a statement a short time ago that reads "we deplore this weak and unjust decision after the further unprecedented posturing of the cps. we will respond later today after our return from the police station." a manhunt on right now in mississippi, police say a killer may be posing as a fake cop, pulling people over and then shooting them dead. police are urging drivers to keep going, actually keep driving, if you see flashing lights behind you, but you're also urged to call 911 at the same time. >> john edwards' defense team is trying to convince jurors nearly $1 million used to cover up his extramarital affair constituted gifts and not illegal campaign contributions. edwards' daughter, cate could be called to the stand. it's not clear what she might know about her father's attempt to cover up his relationship with rielle hunter. political speech or commencement address. in the case of mitt romney and president obama it's been a little bit of both this week. the president eager to court women voters delivered the commencement address at barnard college yesterday, while romney desperate to bring evangelicals aboard spoke to liberty college graduates on saturday. take a listen. >> justice for the persecuted, compassion for the needy and the sick, or mercy for the child waiting to be born, there is no greater force for good in the nation than christian conscience in action. >> after decades of slow, steady, extraordinary progress, you are now poised to make this the century where women shape not only their own destiny, but the destiny of this nation and of this world. >> so let's go live to washington, d.c., and we are joined by cnn white house correspondent dan lothian and cnn political editor paul steinhauser. nice to see you both. >> good to see you. >> dan, i'll start with you. not surprising they would be giving commencement speeches and stomping at the same time. >> that's right. they all are trying to focus on their key base audiences who could be crucial and for obama, women in particular could be crucial for his relocation hopes. we looked at the recent polling here, we've seen mitt romney tick ahead of the president just ever so slightly in support among women. this is a group that the president won in 2008 in his victory over senator john mccain, and so while we saw yesterday a traditional commencement address, it was focused at the women in the audience but the larger female audience across the country. you heard the president talking about equal pay, fighting for a seat at the table, taking control of your own health care decisions, and again, the president repeated a theme that we've heard time and time again out there on the campaign trail in particular, in those battleground states where the president talks about the influence of strong women in his own life, his wife, his mother, his grandmother, and this is a theme that you'll continue to hear the president focusing on today again, he'll be sitting down on "the view" a popular tv show that has a large female audience. he recorded it yesterday. it will air today, focusing on some hard issues but also some fun topics as well as the president tries to make female voters very comfortable with giving him a second chance. >> dan, it's not just the female voters, right, it's the young vote that they also need. >> that's right. they really do need the young vote, also the african-american vote. we've been talking a lot about that as well. young voters were the base of the president's victory in 2008. remember they were the grassroots effort. they went out there, they were very enthusiastic for the president. many of them, though, have felt like well, you know, maybe they're grown up and not as enthusiastic, or there's this younger group that's come along that really hasn't been able to get fired up, because now he's no longer the new guy. right? he has a record. he is the old guy who has been in office already, and so this is an audience the president is trying to keep captive, perhaps not the glory he had in 2008 but certainly trying to get excited. >> trying to fire them up. thank you. paul i'm going to switch over to you now. we're always talking numbers with you. we know mitt romney has problems with the conservative vote, are there any new numbers out there? >> reporter: specifically on the conservative vote nothing brand new to share with you this morning. why did he go to liberty university to give the commencement address? as you mentioned he struggled during the battle for the republican nomination to win the social conservative vote, a lot of them going for other candidates such as rick santorum and maybe part of that was his mormon faith. that's probably why you saw him give the address at an evangelical school founded by the late jerry falwell, part of his objective to get social conservatives. he talked about faith and values and the importance of family, coming days after the president supporting legal same-sex marriage. mitt romney believes a marriage should be between one man and one woman and he also used the speech to talk about the economy and that's really mitt romney's wheelhouse, where he's most comfortable and what he wants to talk about, jobs, the economy in iowa, talking about the federal debt and government spending, that's where mitt romney wants his campaign to be. >> paul steinhauser, dan lothian, thank you for joining us this morning. would you recognize this nobel peace prize winner if you saw him? i have to show you him first. there we go. yeah, i'd probably recognize him. somebody at the tsa may not have. more about henry kissinger's airport experience coming up. >> oh, no. but first we're going to take a quick check of your travel forecast with mr. rob marciano, it's 36 minutes past the hour. >> good morning again, guys. east coast a little bit of rainfall there so keep the umbrella handy. stalled frontal boundary is now moving across much of the appalachians. be aware of that today and tomorrow as well. radar fills in from boston through d.c. at some point it will be heavy at times especially northern parts of new england and upstate new york you can use the rain. it will slow down travel if you're traveling through the big airports. the threat for chicago and across parts of the carolinas, daytime highs are seasonable in new york city but toasty across parts of the southwest. that's a quick check on weather.

>> it's interesting. we know how they found it, it was an anonymous tip from a woman who "wanted to intervene for the two victims," so she called it in to police after a quick youtube search, authorities were able to find the victims -- find the video and that's how they were able to identify this man and arrest him. >> were they able to identify the kids and talk to them in. >> they were. they did identify the kids and did speak to them. none of the victims thankfully were seriously hurt but they're not identifying them of course because they are minors. affiliate wftv was able to track down and speak to the father of one of the victims. he would not reveal his identity but did go on camera and this is what he had to say. >> it was horrible. i mean, when i saw it, i just, i just come unglued. i mean i couldn't believe what i was looking at. >> pretty understandable reaction there. the father obviously says he hopes that these attackers are convicted, that they're sent to prison and that this won't happen again but imagine as a parent, having to sit through and watch that, and thousands have seen it because it's all on youtube for everyone to see. >> thank you. >> you bet. 42 minutes past the hour. let's get you up to date, here's christine romans. >> former news international ceorebekah brooks will face criminal charges in connection with the uk phone hacking scandal. accused of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. her husband, charlie brooks, has also been charged. the couple releasing a statement a short time ago that reads "we deplore this weak and unjust decision. after the further unprecedented posturing of the cps, we will respond later today after our return from the police station." a manhunt is on right now in mississippi. police say a killer may be posing as a fake cop, pulling people over and shooting them. there were two fatal shootings just 50 miles apart in the past week. the victims, a 74-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman, both found dead in their cars on the side of the road. and seems no one is off limits from the tsa pat-down, the latest high-profile search, nobel peace prize winner and former secretary of state henry kissinger. freelance reporter recognized kissinger on friday at laguardia airport airport. here's something you don't hear often, zero unemployment, that means that everyone has a job, and people who majored in astrophysics, geophysics, pharmacology and actuarial science did that in 2010. zero percent unemployment, according to georgetown university data. something to think about picking your major or helping your kid decide on what school to focus on. model christi turlington burns. >> the best advice from my mom, to see as much of the world as i possibly could and i would give the same advice to my children and anyone. >> see as much of the world as you can. >> how often do they say the best advice came from mom?

>> the suspension will remain through the 2012-2013 school year and basically the president said he wants to see this culture of hazing rooted out. that will mean obviously finding new ways to supervise these students when they take trips. also, restructuring the management, the staff there who oversee the band. he wants to see new leadership in place. obviously the current band director, julian white, recently retired, so the band is without a band director. that will obviously have to change. the president will have to find a new person to lead that band. >> and i understand that this may be some lost revenues for the school as well. >> could very well be, and president amons talked about the fact that ticket sales at two big games the school attends will likely take a hit, so they are looking at alternative forms of entertainment, but from many fans it will not be the same. the president, though, still said that he hopes fans will understand that he's doing this so that he can make the band better moving forward. >> so they can revamp it there. george howell joining us live from atlanta, thank you for that. the story to be reporting, a nuclear reactor that no one's ever heard of before, don't feel bad because people living next door to it didn't know about it. we'll tell you about a big american company that kept nuclear secrets from everybody around them. a party?
