police move in at the capitol rotunda and move out some noisy demonstrators in handcuffs. there's a crucial issue president obama they say he needs to pay attention to. everybody's asking why did she do it. days after her arrest for dui, steve mcnair's girlfriend killed him and then herself. police say they do have a motive. also, a gruesome story, possibly more than 100 bodies allegedly dug up from their final resting places in a clandestine scheme here. who's charged with doing it, and why. all righty. it is thursday. and we are so glad to have your company, as always. thanks for sharing your time with us. you're with hln "news and views." we're talking about aids activists today who staged a noisy protest inside the capitol rotunda. capitol police arrested 26 people. they charged them with unlawful assembly. police say they were part of a group that end erd the rotunda and bound themselves together with plastic chains. on their website the group said they tried to take over the rotunda to demand action on aids from president obama and congress. the protest came a day before key congressional votes on aids programs, and a day, of course, before president obama leaves for a trip to africa. meanwhile, how much did the family know about michael jackson's condition and possible drug use. well, two sources tell our sister network cnn the family members were so concerned about him, in fact, that they tried to stage an intervention. sources say sister janet grew so concerned about his appearance after a visit back in 2007, that she tried to intervene with help from some of her mothers. jackson reportedly ordered his security guards not to let family members into his home and refused to take calls from his mother, katherine. some family members issued a statement emphatically denying the source's claim. here ooh's what it says. we categorically deny ever planning, participating in, or having knowledge of any kind of intervention whatsoever. we strongly believe that these sources and others, no matter who they are, are making these defamatory, inaccurate and untrue claims for monetary reasons. now, the statement is signed by tito, marlon, jackie, jermaine and katherine jackson. janet, however, did not sign that statement. jackson's dermatologist says he knew the pop superstar used diprivan as a sleep aid, and he says he warped jackson about the powerful sedative's dangers. on "larry king live" last night, dr. arnold klein not only talked about drug use, he also addressed lingering speculation that he fathered jackson's children. >> did michael tell you he used diprivan? >> i knew at one point that he was using diprivan when he was on tour in germany. and so he was using it, with an anesthesiologist, to go to sleep at night. i told him he was absolutely insane. i said, you have to understand with this drug, you can't repeatedly take it. what happens with narcotics, no matter what you do, you build a kol rans for them. >> larry: what about the rumors of the children and you being the father of them? >> michael loved those children as a father. those children loved him as a father. that's the most important grouping there is. >> larry: that's nottensing the question. >> no, because i'm not going to answer oef- >> larry: you donated sperm? >> i donate to a sperm bank. i don't think i should go oh over my legal affairs. to the best of my knowledge, i'm not the father. >> klein admits obviously as you heard right there that he did donate sperm to a sperm bank, but not to jackson specifically. he said he would be willing to take a dna test. nashville police have officially ruled the death of steve mcnair a murder-suicide, and they may have pinned down a motive here. the new dash cam video we've gotten in, police released this of mcnair's 20-year-old mistress, sahel kazemi. they say she shot mcnair four times as he slept and then killed herself. they arrested her for dui just two days before those shootings. mcnair was a passenger in that car, by the way. he was not charged. and left in a cab, actually. investigators say kazemi told friends her life was spinning out of control because of financial problems. and she suspected mcnair was seeing someone else. police also released the 911 call a friend of mcnair's made after the bodies were discovered. >> i received a phone call that there were injured parties inside this apartment. >> male or female? >> there's two people. >> two people? >> yeah. >> and they both appear to be deceased? >> i think so, sir. >> you got a call from who? >> his name is wayne. they share this apartment. and he came by, he walked in, and he really didn't pay no attention, but he said, i think -- i think they're hurt in there. so he called me because he knows i'm the man's best man. so he went to check on him. it is not looking good in here. >> you said the guy's name is what that you got the call from? >> wayne. >> wayne? do you know his last name? >> huh-uh. >> he's the roommate? >> yeah. >> family and friends will attend a memorial service for mcnair tonight. the 36-year-old former nfl most valuable player was married with four kids. seven democratic members of congress say cia director leon pa net a recently testified that the agency misled congress since 2001. the democrats didn't reveal specific details about his testimony, but they did say he told them the cia had concealed significant actions from all members of congress for a number of years. now, in may, remember, house speaker nancy pelosi accused the cia of misleading congress during a closed-door briefing back in 2002. today pelosi said she hasn't spoken to panetta about his testimony. >> democrats in the house intelligence committee said they told them that the cia misled -- >> i've not had that briefing from director panetta. i've learned from the letters that went out that we saw yesterday, that the press brought to our attention. >> the republicans are accusing the democrats of putting politics ahead of national security. a new round of cyber attacks hit seven south korean websites today. there's no sign u.s. sites are targeted again as they were over the weekend. the suspicions are originating in north korea. security experts say it could be difficult to track down the people responsible. over the weekend, several u.s. government sites, including the white house and pentagon, were targeted by denial of service strikes. today japan said it's time to send a stronger message to north korea to stop "provocative actions." it did not say whether it's experienced similar cyber attacks, however, and so far nirk hasn't responded to charges that the attacks are originating from there. as the g-8 summit in italy today, the group is working on hammering out the details of a trade deal. now that the economy is caught in this recession, the g-8 is trying to successfully finish the first round of talks. the trade deal is to help prevent

2,000 to 3,000 protesters crowded into the streets of tehran today. a pro-government militia used batons and tear gas to disperse them. this allegedly shows today's demonstrations. so far we have not

tennessee national guard, hasn't seen lindsey in a year. but yesterday he made a personal plea for her safe return. >> i would love nothing more than to see my daughter before i have to go. so please, if you know anything, contact the hotlines, contact any 911 centers, but please, bring me my daughter home before i have to leave. >> detectives say they've not found nif evidence to explain her

back lots where the plots were older and not as frequently visited. and he said the cemetery's current owners are not believed to be involved in this. police say a 14-year-old led them on a chase at speeds over 100 miles an hour. and here's the dash cam video, folks. the suv hit an em bank 89, launched into the air. look at that thing go. his 10-year-old brother and 12-year-old cousin were in

condition and possible drug use. two sources tell our sister network cnn family members were so worried about him, that they tried to stage an intervention. sources say janet in fact grew so concerned about his appearance after a visit back in 2007, that she tried to intervene with help from some of her brothers. jackson reportedly ordered his security guards not to let family members into his home and refused to take calls from his mother katherine. family members want to say, they issued a statement emphatically denying the source's claims. we categorically deny ever planning, participating in, or having knowledge of any kind of intervention whatsoever. we strongly believe that these sources and others, no matter who they are, are making these defamatory, inaccurate, untrue claims for monetary reasons. that statement is signed by tito, marlon, jackie, jermaine and katherine jackson. janet jackson did not sign the statement. jackson's dermatologist said he knew the pop superstar used diprivan as a sleep aid. and he warned about the dangers. in a revealing interview last night on "larry king live" on our sister network cnn, that's where arnold klein talked about jackson's alleged drug use saying at one point jackson even went to rehab. >> michael at one time had an addiction. and he went to england and he withdrew that addiction at a secure setting where he went off drugs all together. when i met michael in this present situation when i was seeing him, that i had to keep reducing the dosage what he was on. because he came to me with a huge tolerance level. >> the client also addressed lingering speculation that he fathered jackson's children saying, to his knowledge he was not their father. but he did admit he donated sperm to a sperm bank once, but not for jackson. he said he would be willing to take dna test. they've officially ruled the death of steve mcnair and his mistress a murder-suicide. they may have pinned down a motive here. david mattingly looks at the new evidence that's emerging. >> reporter: nfl quarterback steve mcnair was behind one of the biggest moments in super bowl history, falling just a few yards short of taking the tennessee titans to victory in 2000. and nine years later, fans in nashville still loved him, knowing him to be generous and approachable in public. but in private, mcnair was taking a serious and unexpected risk. a married man with children, mcnair was seeing 20-year-old sahel kazemi. her family said the relationship had been going for more than five months and that she was confident mcnair was divorcing his wife and they would soon live together. but early saturday that ended with this 911 call from a friend of mcnair's. >> reporter: that call came from this condo in a building not too far away from titans stadium. police arrived to find the couple dead. mcnair had been shot twice in the head and twice in the chest. police now say it was a clear case of murder-suicide. and that mcnair may have been asleep and did not know what was coming. police described kazemi as a young woman in turmoil, reeling from financial pressures, complaining to her friends that her personal life was a mess, and that she should end it. early thursday morning she was arrested for dui. that evening police say she bought a 9 millimeter handgun. >> we also have reason to believe that kazemi recently learned before this day that she believed mcnair was involved with another woman, and that, too, participated in her state of mind we think. >> reporter: nashville police say they share their findings with mrs. mcnair. they did not know if she was aware of the relationship. this kind of image of mcnair saddens fans who gather at the titans stadium where they knew him as a competitor and philanthropist. he spoke of his family at his retirement. >> it's a blessing now that i'm fortunate to walk away in this game on my own two feet, and to realize that families are very important. >> reporter: that was just 16 months ago. former nfl running back eddie george tells me the man who was murdered was not the steve mcnair he had known since 1996. >> he was in search of filling a void. >> reporter: george believes his old friend was having a crisis of his own. maybe struggling with life after football. >> what people fail to realize is that when you make a transition away from a game, emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, you go through something, you change. and you're constantly searching for something. >> reporter: and in nashville, fans now search for ways to celebrate the life of a star athlete who brought them many fond memories, while mourning his scandalous death. david mattingly, cnn, nashville. aids activists staging a noisy protest inside capitol hill today. capital police arrested 26 of the demonstrators and charged them with unlawful assembly. they say the group entered the rotunda and bound themselves together with plastic chains. they demanded funding on aids prevention. the protests come a day before key congressional votes on aids programs, and a day before president obama leaves for a trip to africa. #,000 to 3,000 protesters kroded into the streets of tehran today. a pro-government militia used batons and tear gas to disperse them. we want to share amateur video we've gotten in. allegedly this shows today's demonstrations. we want to point out so far we have not been able to confirm its authenticity. you can see people running there, throwing things. it looks like we see a fire with a lot of smoke. today's protest came on the tenth anniversary of a student uprising of the regime. i want to show you another amateur video we just got in. we've not been able to confirm whether it is authentic. but you can see some of the protests that are believed to be going on. back in 1999, 200 students protested the closing of a reformist newspaper which reported moderate president muhammad katmi, hardline activists broke windows and attacked students in a dormitory at tehran university. again, it is believed that protests have taken shape yet again today there in tehran. a new round of cyber attacks hit seven south korean websites today. no sign that the u.s. sites are being targeted again as they were over the weekend. but there is suspicion the attacks are originating in north korea. security experts say it may be pretty difficult to track down the people responsible. but remember over the weekend, several sufficient government sites, including the white house and pentagon, were targeted by denial of service strikes. japan says it's time to send a stronger message to north korea to stop "provocative actions." it did not say whether it's experienced similar cyber attacks. so far, north korea hasn't even responded to charges the attacks are originating from that country. at the g-8 summit in italy today, though, the groups working on hammering out the deals of a trade deal. the world economy is caught in the recession, the g-8 is trying to successfully finish the deal around the talks. they're trying to battle the recession. economists blame protectionist policies for helping to cause the great depression in fact. you know that car chases are not child's play by any means. this one involved three kids, though. the who was behind the wheel and where they say they were speeding off to. all righty. listen to this. police say a 14-year-old -- 14 -- led them on a chase at speeds over 100 miles an hour. here's the dash cam shot for you. the suv, look at this, hits an embankment and goes airborne there. his 10-year-old brother and 12-year-old cousin were in there, too. thankfully they weren't seriously hurt. but one was quick to point the finger. >> it's not my fault. it's all austin's fault. i just have to say -- >> okay, okay. do not move. do you understand me? >> not my fault he's yelling. the 14-year-old, by the way, said they were just going to dairy queen. okay. doing a good deed can bring you some good news in a bad economy if you're helping a relative who's down on their luck. here's the thing, if you claim that relative as a dependent, you get a personal exemption deduction of about $3,600. you'll have to provide you -- prove you provide half of that person's support. if they live at your place for free, for instance. if you and another family membe provide at least half the ñ relative's support, you can als claim that exemption. a lot of companies are obviously letting off their workers. some businesses are actually creating new jobs. in money and main street, alina cho takes us to a small town in georgia where a textile mill closed years ago. >> reporter: in the heart of the south, the face of tiny west point, georgia, is literally changing. the old pizza hut is a korean barbecue. the old kfc, young's garden. jobs once scarce are finally returning. >> just like christmastime. like christmas. >> reporter: christmas, in the middle of a recession? in west point, yes. >> we jokingly call it kia bill. >> reporter: kia is about to open a sprawling manufacturing plant, thanks to $400 million in tax breaks. even in the midst of a recession, the company will hire 2,500 new workers, add suppliers and new businesses, and the mayor says west point, population 3,500, stands to gain 20,000 jobs over the next five years. divine intervention. >> the economic activity here is incredible. the trickle-down effect in the local economy has been staggering. >> reporter: remarkable for a city that was slowly becoming a ghosttown. textile mills that once defined west point shut down in the 1990s, leaving many out of work. including 52-year-old margaret mcmanus, laid off last year, now working again at one of kia's suppliers. did you ever think you would be making car parts? >> not at all. not in a million years. >> reporter: new construction is everywhere, at roger's barbecue, business is booming. we say if we can get them in one time, we'll get them back. >> reporter: malcolm malone's car wash business is up 70%. and down the street at irish bred pub, ruth invested her life savings in the business. it's paying off. >> i wanted to come down to the dairy because of kia. we have jumped in with both feet and we have not looked back one time. >> reporter: so how is this tiny rural community adapting to the new asian infusion? does west point feel more like a melting pot now? >> yeah, we've got the culture coming in. you don't have to travel to atlanta anymore. >> reporter: from milltown to manufacturing mecca, a bright spot in an otherwise gray economy. alina cho, cnn, west point, georgia. how to thrive in a tough economy. obviously people are doing it there. for more of our series, money and main street, watch cnn tonight at 8:00 eastern time. hope that helps in some way. police say a group of cemetery workers came up with a sickening scheme to make some extra cash. it allegedly involved digging up the graves of more than 300 people. in an act investigators are calling startling and re volting. this number has been changing all morning, but now we're up to more than 300 bodies at a historic african-american cemetery that may have been dug up and dumped in mass graves. also their burial plots could be resold. yeah, for money. the office manager and three grave diggers at oaks cemetery near chicago were charged with one count each of dismembering a human body. the county sheriff said they're thoroughly checking grave sites to see which ones were disturbed. >> we're bringing in some high-tech machines that are going to be able to use ultra waves and lights to make sure that nothing has been tampered with. we have thermal imaging units that are going to be on site here soon. and we're going to double-check everybody's. because as we told people, this is an incredibly historic cemetery for the african-american community, but as well as the notables, there are regular family members everywhere, children, grandparents. when you look at some of the grave stones that we come across that have been dumped throughout the cemetery, and have been hidden, you see grave stones of babies, you see gravestones of grandparents, husbands, this is heartbreaking stuff. >> the sheriff said most of the excavations have been in back lots where possibly they were older and not as frequently visited. the current openers are not

historic cemetery and resell the plots. let's listen. >> payments, normally cash. they would then give an individual -- unsuspecting individual a deed for a plot, and after they did that and the unsuspecting individual left, they would then get a grave digger to go disintera grave, take the remains from that ga gave -- grave and dump them in an area in the back of the cemetery. the person was none the wiser that had been a used grave. there is extensive evidence as far as the remains of individuals that are spread throughout the back of the cemetery area here. the state's attorney will talk about the specific people who were charged, their names and the like, but the one individual who was the office manager here was the individual who was at sort of the center of this operation. she was the one that was taking the payments. she was the one that was directing individuals to dig, and this was not done in a very delicate way, folks. when the digging occurred, they would excavate the grave, the entire site, and then they would proceed to dump the remains wherever they found a place to do it in the back of the cemetery. this was not replacing graves. it was not moving graves. this was dumping of them. the individual we're talking about also had set up a memorial fund on her own where she took money from that and apparently pocketed that money as well for individuals who came here to the cemetery. there are numerous people that have worked with us on this. the state's attorneys have been very helpful. the fbi, i can't emphasize enough to you, the amount of resources

phenomenal. i can't tell you how difficult it's been for all of us. i have been here since 6:00 this morning. there were people lined up here. there were people here last night waiting to get in to check on the remains of their loved ones. i wish i had better information for a lot of them, but we don't have that yet. it's going to take us some time to get there, but we're going to try our best to get to that point. we don't know what else to tell the people here, we're just hor riffically sorry they have been subjected to this. we're trying our best to work on making this right as well as we can. at this time i was going to ask the state's attorney if she can come up here and make a few comments. >> good afternoon. first, i want to thank sheriff dart and his entire police force and crew for working on this investigation. they've done a great job and i also want to thank all of the assistant states attorneys from the special prosecutions unit in my bureau who have been working

for what you have been through and the lack of respect that's been shown to you and your families and your loved ones. the cook county states attorney's office this morning has charged four persons in connection with the crime as outlined in your press release. short time ago at 26 and california we presented formal charges against four individuals and the charges in fact were dismembering a human

department of corrections. bond was set for the four individuals as follows. carolyn towns has a bond of $250,000. the three other offenders here, keith nix, terrence nix, and a maurice daly have had bond set at $200,000. $250,000 for carolyn towns and $200,000 for the other three. on many occasions one or more of the defendants involved in this scheme resold burial plots that were already occupied by previous buried corpses. cemetery grounds keepers then disinterred the corpses. the corpse its were then either reburied or dumped in an open area in the back of the property. it's also alleged the defenders destroyed cemetery records and altered existing burial plot deeds. the investigation is still continuing, and as tom just indicated, this is something that is going to continue for quite a while. having prosecuted many, many violent cases throughout my career in the states attorneys office, i must say this crime is a whole new dimension that shows us what lengths people would go through for financial gain, and the disrespect for all of the people who are buried in this cemetery. anyone who has entrusted this cemetery with having their loved ones really were entitled to the respect and the dignity that they obviously have not gotten. one other thing that i want to mention, tom mentioned it, there was -- we have information that there was a fund that was set up in 2005, a fund in order to get money for the building of an emmitt till memorial museum. we are asking the public right now for help. if there are any people out there who in fact contributed to that fund in order to have that building, that museum built, which was never done, if there are people out there that have contributed, can you please call the sheriff's hotline number and please pass that information on. as i indicated, this investigation is ongoing, and, again, i want to offer all my condolences to all of the families who have their loved ones buried here. >> that's anita alvarez, the cook county states attorneys office. just a grotesque amount of disrespect that is involved in this crime here. again, four people charged facing felony charges of dismembering a human body. they could get 6 to 30 years. they are allegedly people who worked at the burr oak cemetery and allegedly resold existing burial plots and then reburied people there after moving bodies, not just moving them, but dumping them after they dug up those graves. we're back in just a moment. 7. a team of researchers hope their new cars leading their way to environmentally friendly motor sports. this is this week's edition of "ecosolution." >> this is the latest formula 3 racing car. it reached a top speed of 140 miles an hour. it's been built by this team at warrick university to see just how green they can race. >> we tried to do something green for all the bits of it. >> so fear of getting too literal an apple and a chocolate bar. i'm told that car over there uses both somehow. how on earth does it use these? >> they have been very innovative. >> they have converted the cocoa butter into die biodiesel. and the apple? >> you can extract fuel from anything that has oil in it. thank you very much. >> let's look at the car as a whole. the diesel engine can run on waste materials. some of the body work uses hemp fibers and recycled bottles. the seat uses foam made from soybeans. the steering wheel is made from carrots and the wing mirrors contain potato starch. but what's the point of it? after all, the car is fast, 140 miles per hour, but not fast enough. it would need to hit 160 miles per hour to have a chance of winning a race and formula three regulations don't allow biodiesel engines to race anyway. the answer lies in the application. >> these are the early days of these material. so some of them have been really quite challenging to make the parts on our car, but in the future certainly we hope that they will spread into other forms of motor sport. >> so what do the experts think? first the environmental acade c academic. >> it appears very nice if you think about your own little usage. yes, we can make ourself green by using all this stuff made from corn or from sugar beet or whatever, but then if you say, well, okay what is that displacing and what is it doing for the poor people in the world in terms of the price of food. then there are very much limitations on how much one can grow that. >> and the racing expert. does it make the grade for formula three? >> not only are you going to have to create new cars with new designers with new people and a new factory to come to a new formula, but you're suggesting that maybe they're going to have a new energy power. to bring all that together at the same time is probably quite a challenge. >> but all that doesn't put these guys off. the bottom line is. >> i'm excited. >> it's great fun. >> sure, it's fun, but -- i'm trapped. i'm stuck. sasha herriman, cnn. well, we appear to be getting a clear picture of michael jackson's possible addictions. "showbiz tonight's" a.j. hammer is in new york. i know it seems more and more people are talking now about his alleged drug use. >> yeah, christi. the key is now we're hearing from people in michael jackson's inner circle. a lot of speculation that's been flying around is now being confirmed with some credible information. dr. arnold cline, long-time determine nolg and friend of michael jackson spoke with larry king last night and gave us really good insight into michael's history of drug use. >> michael at one time had an addiction. he went to england and he withdrew that addiction in a secure setting where he went off of drugs altogether, and what i told michael when i met him in this present situation when i was seeing him, that i had to keep reducing the dosage of what he had on because he came to me with a huge tolerance level. >> michael had admitted an addiction to painkillers years ago but clearly it went well beyond that. >> the other thing that's come out today that is a little bizarre is that we're hearing his sister, janet, tried an intervention. do we know anything more about that? >> well, that she went to visit him back in 2007 and found him so emaciated she tried to get the brothers involved in stage an intervention. they ended up getting turned away. michael shut them out. and then denial. i remember this, a denial was issued to "people." it was signed by everyone but janet jackson. this is something so many people can relate to and so many doctors have told us this is typical behavior. it's sad because on one hand you have the family trying to help and on the other hand all these enablers and security around michael jackson keeping people away from doing the right thing by him. really, really so sad. obviously, a lot more to talk about tonight on "showbiz tonight." brand new michael jackson bombshells. new revelations from jackson's former doctor that the king of pop had taken a dangerous drug. we'll see you tonight at 11:00 p.m. eastern and pacific with the latest. >> thank you so much. we will see you then. stay with us. we're back in a moment with "your views." in an act investigators are calling startling and revolting more than 300 bodies at a african-american cemetery may have been dug up and dumped in mass graves all so their burial plots could be resold. this is exclusive video from the burr oak cemetery from a tour given to cnn by cook county sheriff tom dart. the office manager and three grave diggers at the cemetery near chicago were charged with counts of dismembering a body. the office manager was apparently the ringleader and said she also made by stealing donations from a foundation to the memory of emmett till. >> this was not replacing graves, not removing graves. it was dumping of them. ed individual we're talking about also had set up a emmett till memorial fund on her own where she took money from that and pocketed that money as well for individuals who came here to the cemetery. till was lynched in 1955 when he was 14 and his death helped galvanize the civil rights movement. he was buried at that cemetery. most of the excavations reportedly happened in back lots where the plots were older, but investigators say the current owners are not believed to be involved in all of this. another story we're watching today, how much did the family know about michael jackson's condition and possible drug use? well, two sources tell our sister network cnn the family members were so concerned about him they tried to stage an intervention. sources say sister janet in fact grew so concerned about his appearance after a visit back in 2007 that she tried to intervene with help from some of her brothers. jackson reportedly ordered his security guards not to let family members into his home and refused to take calls from his mom, katherine. at the time some family members issued a statement emphatically denying all of this. janet jackson did not, however, sign that statement. jackson's dermatoloterminrms he knew jackson used diprivan as a sleep aid. last night on "larry king live" on cnn dr. arnold klein also addressed lingering speculation that he fathered jackson's children. >> larry: did michael tell you he used diprivan? >> i knew at one point that he was using diprivan when he was on tour in germany and so he was using it with an anesthesiologist to go to sleep at night and i told him he was absolutely insane. you can't repeatedly take that drug. you build a tolerance to narcotics. >> larry: about wha about all the rumors about you and the fathering of those children? >> michael loved those children as a father. those children loved him as a father. as far as i'm concerned that's the most important grouping there is. >> larry: that's not answering the question. >> no because i'm not going to answer it the way -- >> larry: or you donated sperm. >> once i donated sperm to a sperm bank but i don't think i should go over my legal affairs. i think to the best of my knowledge i'm not the father. >> admitting there he donated sperm to a sperm bank, but not to jackson specifically. he also says he is willing to take a dna test if asked to do so. now, as the investigation into michael jackson's death continues, we're just talking about this, a lot being said about his daughter paris who took center stage and spoke at his public memorial service. do you think the family should have kept her from the glare of the spotlight is the question? what is your view on this? call us at 1-877-tell-hln. it's 1-877-835-5456. or e-mail us at cnn.com/hln. you can text us, too, text "views" your comments and name to hlntv. standard text rates apply. but your opinions are important to us. thank you for sharing it and we'll be reading your responses throughout the day. tonight family and friends will attend a memorial service for former nfl quarterback steve mcnair. nashville police have officially ruled his 20-year-old mistress sahel kazemi shot mcnair four times as he slept and then took her own life. police have released a 911 call made after a friend found their bodies. listen in. >> i received a phone call -- >> uh-huh. >> -- that there were injured parties inside this apartment. >> is it male or female? >> two. there's two people. >> two people? >> yeah. >> and they're both appeared to be deceased? >> i think so, sir. >> you got a call from who? >> his name is wayne. him and one of them here share this apartment. >> uh-huh. >> and he came by, he walked in and got a feel. he really didn't pay no attention. he said, man, i think they're hurt in there. so he called me because he know i'm the man's best man. so i check on him and he's -- it's not looking good in here. >> okay. you said the guy's name is what that you got the call from? >> wayne. >> wayne? do you know his last name? >> uh-uh. >> and he's the roommate? >> yeah. >> now, want to show you this dashcam video from two days prior to this murder/suicide. police arrested kazemi for dui. mcnair was a passenger in that car. he was not charged and actually left in a cab. investigators say kazemi told friends her life was spinning out of control because of financial problems. she suspected mcnair, too, was seeing someone else. we should point out he was married as well. with four children. seven democratic members of congress say cia director leon panetta recently testified that the agency had misled congress since 2001. in a letter to panetta dated last month, the democrats didn't reveal specific details about his testimony, but they did say he told the cia had concealed significant actions from all members of congress for a number of years. in may house speaker nancy pelosi, remember, accused the cia of misleading congress during a closed door briefing that was back in 2002. republicans are accusing the democrats of putting politics ahead of national security. meanwhile, look what was happening as protesters invaded the capital rotunda today for this loud demonstration here. the activists say congress and president obama aren't doing enough in a fight against aids so they're pushing for congress to lift the federal ban on funding for ser riyringe progra. at the g-8 summit in italy the group is working on hammering out the details of a trade deal now that the world economy is caught in this recession. the g-8 is trying to finish the doha round of talks. the trade deal is supposed to help prevent countries from turning to protectionist trade practices to battle the recession. economists blame protectionist policies for causing the great depression. five people were killed today when an amtrak train hit a car. this is in canton township, michigan. it's an amtrak wolverine train. all the victims who died were in the car that was hit. no reports of injuries among the 170 passengers plus crew on the train, but wear hearing that train actually pushed the car several miles down the track. an amtrak spokesperson tells cnn the car was apparently trying to cross the tracks and was hit. amtrak says the train was headed to chicago from detroit. now, the passengers will be taken by bus to an arbn arbor t board another train. another day, another round of cyber attacks. today's targets are south korea sites once again. do we know anymore about who is behind these attacks? a new round of cyber attacks hit seven south korean websites today. no sign u.s. websites are being attacked again as they were over the weekend. the white house and pentagon were hacked then. authorities at south korea are pointing the finger at north korea. reggie aqui has more details for us. so, boy, it's amazing this has been going on for days at this point and they haven't been able to stop it. >> this might just be the way it's going to be from now on. that we're going to hear about more of this as people become more sophisticated, as technology becomes more prevale prevalent. this this case we have a whole list of the various government agencies and nongovernment agencies that were affected. look at that. includes the white house, the pentagon, the u.s. treasury department. as you say, no longer does this it seem to be really affecting the united states very much. north korea still being hit -- i should say south korea still being hit. one of their largest corporations was infiltrated by this cyber target. the question now is where is this coming from? and you have heard some people accuse the north koreans as being part of this, but we don't know. and they're still trying to track this down. there is some evidence that perhaps it's coming from china, but again still can't say that for sure. what we do know is that it is most likely from a rather amateurish group, at least that's what the computer experts are saying. they did not infiltrate, for example, the computers that are internal at the pentagon or the white house. these were just public websites that you or i could reach, and so the u.s. government is kind of spinning this away saying is it a huge deal? yes, it did cause some inconvenience for people. it didn't actually have any secrets stolen, for example, from the u.s. government, and that this may be something we have to deal with from now on. other computer experts say the fact this is disturbing so many different branches around the world of government, of commerce, that is a problem we need to look at more seriously. so welcome to the new world, right, christi. >> my goodness. just can't keep track of it all. hey, i know obviously we're going to keep an eye on that, but we want to change gears real quickly and talk about this kansas teenage mother built his own electric vehicle. i can't wait to see what he does next. >> kids these days, right? well, here is the thing, this is the part that i kind of love about the story. i know parents are not going to like me for this. but he asked his parents to take one of their old cars, a ford escort and turn it into something a little more modern. he wanted to retrofit it and they said no. he's 17 years old. andrew loder is his name. despite the fact his parents didn't want to do it, he did it anyway. and i should mention the car was supposed to go to the junkyard. he bought a forklift motor online without telling his parents. he said he didn't really even know how to change the oil in the car previous to this, but he found out through his web research how to build an electric motor. he replaced the gas cap with an electric plug. it only gets 11 miles per charge but the thing works and his parents say, it's all right. you disobeyed us but you did something that was really cool, it didn't hurt anybody. we didn't really need that car anyway, so there you go. a teenager building an electric vehicle. i guess this is one case where it was okay to disobey your parent. >> he can't really speed in it. >> another good point. >> they won't have to worry about any tickets. >> and he's helping the environment. >> i can't wait to see what he does next. the things you find on the internet. >> but listen to your parents otherwise unless it has to do with building an electric car. >> reggie giving the÷ disclaim there. thank you so much. >> you're welcome. well, while a lot of companies obviously are laying off their workers, there are some businesses actually creating new jobs. in "money and main street" alina cho takes us to a small town in georgia that went bust when it's once thriving textile mills closed years ago. >> reporter: in the heart of the south, the face of tiny west point, georgia, is literally changing. the old pizza hut is a korean barbecue. the old kfc, young's garden. jobs once squarcarce are finall returning. >> just like christ masstime. >> reporter: christmas in the middle of a recession? yes. >> kia is about to open a sprawling manufacturing plant thanks to $400 million in tax breaks. even in the midst of a recession the company will hire 2,500 new workers. add suppliers and new businesses and the mayor says west point, population 3,500 stands to gain 20,000 jobs over the next five years. divine intervention. >> the economic activity here is incredible. the trickle down effect in the local economy has been staggering. >> reporter: remarkable for a city that was slowly becoming a ghost town. textile mill that is once defined west point shut down in the 1990s leaving many out of work. including 52-year-old margaret mcmanus, laid off last year. now working again at one of kia's suppliers. did you ever think you'd be making car parts? >> no, not at all. >> reporter: not in a million years. >> no. >> reporter: new construction is everywhere. at roger's barbecue, business is booming. >> well, we say if we can get them in here one time, we can get them back. >> reporter: malcolm's car wash business is up 70%. and at irish brew pub, ruth ann williams invested her life savings in the business. it's paying here. >> i came here because of kia. we have jumped in with both feet and we have not looked back one time. >> reporter: so how is this tiny rural community adapting to the new asian institution. does west point feel like more of a melting pot now? >> yeah, we have the culture coming in. you don't have to travel to atlanta anymore. >> a bright spot in an otherwise gray economy. alina cho, cnn, west point, georgia. >> how to thrive in a tough economy. obviously people are doing it. hopefully that helps put some ideas in your head. for more of our series "money and main street" watch cnn at 8:00 eastern. we'll be right back. for the first time in days protesters we have new pictures we want to share with you. we can't verify when this amateur video was shot. today''s demonstrations mark the tenth anniversary of a student uprising in 1999. the protesters are using the anniversary to demonstrate again their displeasure with the june 12th presidential results. a militia used force to break up the crowd. also iraq is seeing its deadliest outbreak of violence since u.s. troops pulled out of its cities last month. at least 64 people have been killed. in the deadliest attack, two suicide bombings struck talafar. in baghdad, 72 people and more than a dozen wounded when a busy market was bombed inside sadr city. let's take to afghanistan. a truck rigged with explosives went off, killing at least 25 people, and many of them were kids on the way to grade school. the massive explosions scattered wreckage for more than a mile and left a huge crater in the road. four policemen are among the dead as well. the taliban is denying any involvement in that case. the bodies of seven u.s. service personnel killed in afghanistan this week arrived at dover air force base in delaware yesterday. they included six soldiers and a sailor. four of the soldiers were killed when an ied exploded near the vehicle on monday. the others died in separate incidents that day. admiral mike mullen was on hand for the transfer of those remains which you're seeing there. car chases, not exactly child's play by any means. this one involved three kids, though. wait until you hear who was behind the wheel and where they say they were speeding to get to. >> [ music ] >> welcome to comcast local edition, i'm donna richardson, and my guest this hour is christine bergmark who is the executive director of the southern maryland agricultural development commission. welcome, christine, it's good to have you here. >> thank you for having me. >> that's a big mouthful, and i know that you're working on an extremely exciting program, bi-local challenge. >> it is an initial that we launched two years ago, and essentially what it is is the last full week of july we ask everyone across the state of maryland and beyond to take a pledge, and the pledge is eat something or drink from a farm every day during that week. >> oh. so where do we get the information about where to find the farms or how do we sign up for this pledge? >> well, there's a website. it's www.by-local-challenge.com that website will give you all sorts of information why to buy local and where to buy local and it connects you to other statewide initiatives that are going on at the same time. if you go to the website, we've added a count. people used to say, where do i sign up? normally you have to go buy, eat something from a local farm. this year we decided to add a counter to the website. when you are' counted, you can receive a certificate with your name on it that you can put up in your office or your home or wherever. >> which is very, very important. it's reduces your carbon foot print because you're driving hopefully a shorter distance, you have access to local products that are available, and also it helps the farmers. >> well, and in fact, our theme this year is healthy plate, healthy planet. all kinds of benefits to buying local, benefits for you, healthy, nutrition, it's fresh, and preserving our farms survive, we keep clean water, we keep clean air, we reduce the carbon footprints from things traveling 1500 miles, and it tastes good. >> exactly. now for those people who may not cook, how can they be a part of this? >> yeah, sometimes people say, well, i hate to cook. that's okay. you can go to a store or to a restaurant that features local farm products, and there are more and more restaurants every year, some of them are on our website, and you can click throughout to find out who they are,. >> what kind of items can we acquire localfully. >> during the last week of july, there is so much product available. there's sweet corn, blackberries, all kinds of tomatoes and melons are in season, and of course, there's always wine, cheese, eggs, meatss. >> so we do have a wide variety of things we can get. say that i go and i go to a local farmer's market and purchase something, what is a vegetable that i'm not quite familiar with, how did i find a recipe. >> excellent question. there are recipes on our website. people can post their own recipes of their own events and own blogs by why they buy local. some of the things i wanted to mention is the economic benefits. we talked about the planet, we talked about the fact that it tastes good, and it's fun, but there's also the benefit of supporting our farms, and if every household in the state mucofmaryland were to buy just 2 worth of products for 8 weeks, basically the summer season that, would put $200 million straight back into the pockets of our farmers. that would do a lot to keep our farmers thriving. >> which is so important. i know we have less than 30 seconds, but you have some partners that you wouldn't typically think of who have now joined in. >> yes. hospitals are joining in this year. fact, they're looking to do a competition to see how many people they can get involved. >> have you exciting. christine, thank you very much for coming in today. >> thank you. >> my guest today has been christine bergmark with the southern agricultural commission. if you're interested in what comcast is doing in your area, go to on demand and click get local. for comcast local edition, i'm donna richardson.

the children were black and the camp's director is considering legal action. three children told the ca director they heard members of the valley club asking what blacks were doing there. a few days later the club refunded the swimming fee but didn't say why. they told wtxf several club members claimed they "fundamentally changed the atmosphere, the complexion at the pool." but he said the complaints did not involve race. the incident brought out some protesters. >> from what we're hearing is that it was the members that kind of started it, that the board had decided to let out, you know, sort of let these children in, and then the members, the parents saw this, and said, no, we don't want our kids swimming in the same pool as these other kids and again, you know, they're kids. >> a club member said he was there on the day in question and complained but not because black kids were in the pool, because he felt there weren't enough life guards for 65 extra kids and that that posed a safety hazard. well it's back. the national weather service made it official today, el nino has returned. what does it mean for our weather? we go to meteorologist chad myers to get a breakdown. what does this mean? >> it means the hurricane season could be less likely to be severe. it could mean that southern california gets a break from its drought. it also could mean that there's going to be a drought in parts of the ohio valley over the winter. let's just, let's start from scratch. here's cabo san lucas, here's mexico and south america over here. on the other side of the map this is australia. in the middle, you will see an orange area developing. that is the anomaly, as we call it. that's just warm wanter, that's developing in the pacific ocean, that's getting close to the west coast there of south america. when that happens, our weather changes significantly. it changes significantly in a couple of ways. it changes because we get below average rainfall across the ohio valley, but also, chuck, i'm going to try to get a color here for you, this is going to be the red zone here where we get all of this excess rainfall from florida, across the gulf coast and all the way back even into arizona. this happens in january, february, and march of 2010, so about six months from now, and that's how that's going to change for us here, but the bigger change for the winter is all of the above normal temperatures all the way through the plains, and then a little bit above normal down even almost into florida and the west coast. it changes the forecast for winter snow. it changes for snowpack, and it also changes for what could happen to when this rain eventually dries out in southern california, as soon as an el nino, a big one is over, all that vegetation in california all dries out, then it catches on fire, so that's kind of maybe a year, year and a half away, but that big change in how much vegetation can grow in southern california can do one of two things, it could begin with the rainfall and if we get big storms, i've seen buildings fall into the ocean because of the storms that crash in el ninos in southern california but it l could also mean a big fire season later on because you had so much rain. it all goes in tandem. >> we could play golf in minneapolis on new year's day. >> that could possibly

steinhauser joins us live. >> chuck, brand new numbers. these are national figures and we asked about the president about how you feel about barack obama, opinion of obama on some specific issues like whether he is a strong leader, check it out, 70%, seven out of ten people say they think he's a strong leader, a good number. it dropped ten points since february. whether he's tough enough, 64%, but that is a drop of nine points from february and whether he has a clear plan, that's dropped 11 points from our similar poll in february. one number, chuck, that has not dropped much at all, interesting, whether the president inspires confidence in you, you can see nearly three out of four people feel he does and that is barely down at all from our numbers in february so a little bit of slippage, chuck, but good numbers. i think any politician would like to have. >> you bet. there's talk of a second stimulus package among democrats. is that gaining any traction? >> nancy pelosi, the

republicans over the stimulus. >> are they scoring points? >> polling indicates that americans are becoming more concerned about the budget deficit and more concerned about whether the stimulus is working. if the economy stays the way it is, it could be a problem for the democrats next year but that's still a ways way. >> how much of the first stimulus has been spent, 11% in. >> i believe

didn't involve race. the incident brought out some protesters. >> from what we're hearing is that it was the members that kind of started it, that the board had decided to let out, you know, had sort of let these children in, and then the members, the parents saw this, and said, no, we don't want our kids swimming in the same pool as these other kids and again, you know, they're kids. >> a club

resolve the issue as far as i know and there are no contract talks that i know of to speak of. >> all right. it has to be frustrated, swimming pools and playgrounds turned into dumps. >> the most visible impact of the strike really is the trash piling up and the garbage dumps that are designated around the city. >> i hope it gets resolved. toronto is a beautiful, vibrant city. i've been there many times. thanks for the contribution. great images. good luck and thanks again. >> thanks for having me. >> if you have pictures or video of breaking news or cool stories go to i-report.com like he

it means that as we get rid of this map it means the precipitation and the temperatures over the winter will be significantly different than where they should be this time of year for normal. a below normal season for the eastern part of the ohio valley. a well above normal season -- put that back -- well above normal season for precip across texas, arizona, and even into florida. that's the big story. how much rainfall will fall across the southern states. this is january, february, and march coming up. so that may really make more of the drought problems we're seeing in the southeast. something else you'll notice about this winter if it continues to get stronger, big, strong el nino will make a well above normal winter time temperature during the day and during the night time. that may affect snow pack. that may affect skiing. that may affect a whole lot of things. the biggest event usually that happens in el nino would be in california where storms could crash onshore and make waves and erosion. also, that extra rainfall, richelle, will eventually make extra plants that will eventually dry out that will make added fire problems, maybe a year or two from now. so a whole lot of things will happen when el nino, the boy child, shows up. and it looks like so far that's happening. la nina is over. the girl is gone. the boy is back in town. >> okay. it always makes sense when you explain it, chad. i appreciate it. but that's a long list of what el nino can do. >> for a long time. >> all right, chad. thank you very much. a touching tribute, or a young girl being exploited?

two sources tell our sister network cnn the family members were so worried about him they tried to stage an intervention. sister janet was so worried after visiting him back in 2007, sources say, that she tried to intervene with help from some of her brothers. jackson reportedly ordered his security guards not to let family members into his home and he even refused to take calls from his mother, katherine. well, at the time some family members issued a statement emphatically denying that but janet jackson did not sign the statement. we told you earlier michael jackson's daughter paris is the subject of some debate. a lot of things said about her taking center stage and speaking at her father's public memorial service. should the jackson family have kept her from the glare of the spotlight? hln callers are weighing in on the issue. first up is stacy from georgia. what are your thoughts about paris being on such a public forum during this time? >> caller: how you doing? >> great. how about you? >> caller: all right. i do believe it was fine for paris to speak and help with the healing process and also i just want to say that, you know, if the only reason viewers watched the memorial service was to scrutinize everything that went on, people like that i have no respect for. they need to get a life and i mean a life with meaning and leave those kids alone because right now they have enough to deal with and i'm a true believer that god heals and god not only hears prayers but he has the power to answer them, as well. >> stacy, thank you for your phone call and your passion. >> caller: thank you for the broadcast that headline news did. millions of people couldn't get to california but we -- it was like we were there in the living room. so we thank you all so much for broadcasting that. thank you. >> thanks, stacie for watching. all right. elliot is calling from texas. what do you think? >> caller: how you doing today? i just wanted to speak upon this as this bothers me because we look upon cnn, headline news, and your other stations to present to us different types of media that's very important for us to know because you are the ones to present it to us but it is also very influential as a station, a company that we look upon. and for you to bring this as a question as to whether or not the children should have spoken or not, that to me brings about chaos among the people to bring this as a subject in their own thinking patterns. whether or not the children should have spoken should not even be an issue when it comes to the people. it's something that was done for the family's choice, for the child's choice. it's quite evident to see that this was her choice to do this but for it to be a topic of discussion and to bring about a question why it should be or not, that's where the confusion comes about. >> okay. >> caller: i respect cnn but i want to say i respect cnn and thank all so much but don't make it more of an obstacle than it is. please don't do that. >> okay, elliot. thank you for your phone call. we'll take the criticism but we're actually reflecting questions we saw out there. but we will take the criticism. thank you. debbie is calling from washington. what do you think? >> caller: i think paris is the most precious little thing in the world. i mean, she humanized michael jackson for me, not being a fan. i watched her fidget with her little purse ahead of time, and move up to the mike and from her heart came these words that made me say to myself, she reminded me not to judge a book by its cover. she brought love into the world. she made him something that -- she was amazing. and it made me think about how much she loved her daddy and what a good daddy he had to have been. >> thank you for your phone call. a lot of people were touched by that. all right. we've got hln facebook comments to share as well. aaron says i don't think the jackson family should have shielded paris from publicly express herg feelings. we witnessed a little girl who misses her father. i thought the words paris spoke were heart felt but i don't think it was a good idea because i'm afraid she will become a target in the media. julia wrote this. no one could have humanized michael jackson the way this brave, lovely little girl did so eloquently. the whole world cried with her. thanks to everyone who took the time to text, call, e-mail. go to the facebook page. we'll do it again tomorrow with another topic. you will hopefully be just as passionate about that. we'll take you criticizing us as well. that's what we open ourselves up for. we appreciate you watching. a woman says she recently spoke with steve mcnair's mistress and could tell the young woman was troubled. this is sahel kazemi at a dui stop days before police say she shot and killed mcnair and then herself. how she opened up to a perfect stranger and what she said. family, friends, and fans of steve mcnair are visiting a nashville funeral home today to pay last respects to the former tennessee titan quarterback who was killed over the weekend by a 20-year-old mistress who then committed suicide. one woman says she spoke with sahel kazemi shortly before the killings and tells our affiliate waay that the signs of trouble were all too clear. >> my heart dropped because i knew in my heart it was her. i knew it was her. >> reporter: vera mosley knew it was her because they had recently met the young woman when she took her daughters to nashville two weeks ago for a day trip. they stopped at david buster's and had a bite to eat but on this day happened to strike up a conversation with a young waitress. what they didn't know then that they know now, it was that waitress, sahel kazemi who they even snapped a picture with who would be the one to pull the trigger on her boyfriend retired nfl quarterback steve mcnair. >> she asked me, have you ever been in love? that's exactly what she asked me. she said, we have been on all kinds of vacations but lately he acts like he doesn't want to spend time with me and it's killing me. i don't know what to do. she knew the relationship was ending and she was beautiful on the outside but dead on the inside. >> reporter: 20-year-old sahel kazemi days away from killing mcnair and taking her own life opened up to a complete stranger. why did she open up to you? >> why me? why did she pick me? because i didn't tell her anything. she asked me, can i talk to you? >> reporter: tas turned out kazemi was talking to a woman who coincidentally had written a play called "woman what are you worth" a play about women who lose themselves in relationships. but while mosley may have given the right advice to the young girl a psychologist we spoke with says it may have been too late. >> the person feels they can't live without the other person and of course that's wrong. they're wrong. but they don't know that. and then the disasterous chain of events follows from that big lie that they tell themselves. >> reporter: and the disastrous chain of events did follow despite mosley's kind words. >> you'll get over this man. you know he's 35 years old. you're just going through this, you're youthful and beautiful. it'll be okay. >> trying to convince them otherwise, you can really hardly talk them out of it. >> wow. thanks to affiliate waay for that story. fans are also heading to lp field where the titans play. the team has set up a video tribute to mcnair and is offering a book for people to leave condolence messages to mcnair's family. aids activists staged a noisy protest on capitol hill today. capitol police arrested 26 demonstrators and charged them with unlawful assembly. police say the group went into the rotunda and bound themselves together with plastic chains. the coalition's website demands funding on aids prevention and support programs from president obama and congress. the protests came a day before key congressional votes on aids programs and a day before president obama leaves for a trip to africa. updating a story we brought you yesterday, the getty center art complex remains closed today after being threatened by a brush fire. the fire department says the 80-acre fire is about 90% contained. that is good news. the fire broke out about a mile from the museum which of course houses a world renowned art collection. hundreds of visitors and staff were forced to evacuate. our investors react to some really disappointing sales reports. we have all the details and the trading day as well. stephanie always puts this in perspective. >> i try, richelle, every day. despite a surprisingly good jobs report this morning stocks are just slightly higher. the number of americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell by more than 50,000 last week. the dow finding its way higher by four points to 8183. nasdaq and the s&p 500 about a third of 1%. gm is on the cusp of exiting bankruptcy. the deal deadlined for appeal passed earlier today and the new general motors expects to make an official debut tomorrow. there was one 11th hour appeal but it was denied by the court. the slimmer auto maker will have chevy, cadillac, buick, and gmc under its umbrella. you, the taxpayer, will own a majority stake in the new company. how does that feel, richelle? you like your ownership role? >> i'll wake up a boss tomorrow? is that what you're telling me? >> all different tomorrow. >> i'm telling you, stephanie, it always adds perspective. thanks. >> sure. well, did the jackson family have suspicions michael was sick? maybe hooked on some kind of drugs? well, speculation keeps swirling about what caused the pop icon's death and our jane velez-mitchell will continue to look into the issue. dddddd investigators call it startling and revolting. more than 300 bodies at an historic african-american cemetery may have been dug up and dumped in mass graves. all so their burial plots could be resold. exclusive video from the burr oak cemetery from a tour given to cnn by the cook county sheriff, tom dart. the office manager and three grave diggers at the cemetery near chicago were charged today with one count each of dismembering of a human body. the county sheriff described the office manager as the apparent ring leader and said she also made money by stealing donations dedicated to the memory of emmett till. >> this was not replacing graves. it was not moving graves. it was dumping of them. the individual we're talking about also had set up an emmett till memorial fund on her own where she took money from that and pocketed that money as well from individuals who came here to the cemetery. >> till was lynched in 1955 when he was just 14 and his death helped galivanize the civil rights movement. he is buried at this cemetery. most of these excavations reportedly happened in back lots where the plots were older and people didn't visit them as much. investigators say the cemetery's current owners were not believed to be involved. how much did the family know about michael jackson's condition and possible drug use? two sources tell our sister network cnn family members were so worried about him they tried to stage an intervention. sources say sister janet was so worried after visiting him in 2007 she tried to intervene with help from some of her brothers. jackson reportedly ordered security guards not to let family members into his home and refused to take calls from his mother, katherine. at the time some family members issued a statement emphatically denying that but janet jackson did not sign the statement. congress will not be honoring the late singer, michael jackson. today the speaker of the house nancy pelosi shot down the idea of the house of representatives approving a resolution to honor him. >> michael jackson was a great, great performer and lots of sadness there for many reasons. what i have said to my colleagues over the years and certainly as leader and speaker is that there's an opportunity on the floor of the house to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish. i don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution. >> why not? >> well, because i think in this case the idea is to praise the life and work as i assume that resolution does, then why not do that, a resolution i think would open up to contrary views that are not necessary at this time to be expressed in association with the resolution whose purpose is quite different. >> what started all this is congresswoman sheila jackson sponsored a resolution to acknowledge the pop star's charitable acts and proclaim him an american legend, musical icon, and also a world humanitarian. well, hln's facebook users are weighing in on whether jackson's daughter paris should have spoken at his memorial. this is what paul from new york wrote. she wasn't prompted any more than jfk jr. was prompted to salute his dad's coffin when it passed him in the street. interesting comment there. this is an e-mail we got. i feel janet put paris up to it last minute to end the show with a bang. you could tell the little girl is in agony. there was no need to put her in that situation. of course we don't know that but that is certainly someone's take. we appreciate everyone who expressed their views to us on this. you can always e-mail us, text us, or call us about any question we pose to you any time. we appreciate it. tennessee department of mental health says it will not air a public service announcement about suicide it was working on with former nfl quarterback steve mcnair. police have officially ruled his 20-year-old mistress sahel kazemi shot him four times as he slept then took her own life. tennessee officials say the psa hadn't reached the point of being aired and now it's inappropriate. this is dash cam video from two days before the murder-suicide. police arrested kazemi for dui and mcnair was a passenger in the car. he was not charged and left in a cab. investigators say kazemi told friends her life was spinning out of control because of financial problems and she also suspected mcnair, who was married, was actually seeing someone else. tonight in tennessee family and friends will attend a memorial service for mcnair, the 36-year-old former nfl most valuable player who was married with four kids. for the first time in days, thousands of protestors are back in the streets of tehran. these are new pictures coming in. we cannot verify when this amateur video was actually shot. the crowds chanted "death to the dictator" during today's demonstrations on the tenth anniversary of a student uprising back in 1999. security forces fired tear gas and charged the crowds with batons. soon after the protests started, cell phones service was cut off in the central part of the city. iraq is seeing its deadliest outbreak of violence since u.s. troops pulled out of the cities last month. 64 people have been killed and the deadliest attack, two suicide bombings struck the city of talefur leaving people dead and wounding 65 others. in baghdad seven people were killed and more than two dozen wounded when a busy market was bombed at sadr city. one person was killed in a roadside bomb in another district of the city. well, paris hilton was in a miami courtroom today over a lawsuit that claims she didn't do enough to promote pledge this. if you don't know what it is, it was straight to dvd movie she starred in. investors were suing for $8 million from hilton and her entertainment firm. hilton says she plugged the movie various times and fulfilled her end of the deal. she may testify tomorrow. well, we may now know what caused the air crash that killed adventurer steve fossett. federal safety officials are saying that downdrafts were the probable cause. they believe fossett's plane hit a mountain after it encountered the downdrafts and his plane just wasn't able to recover by climbing. fossett was the first person to circle solo in a balloon. his remains were found a year after he disappeared in september of 2007. another day, another round of cyber attacks. today's targets are south korean sites once again. do we know any more about who is behind these attacks? a new round of cyber attacks hits seven south korean websites today. there is no sign u.s. sites are targeted. again. of course over the weekend several federal government sites including the white house and pentagon were hacked. authorities in south korea point the finger at north korea. cnn.com has more details on this. virginia, this is big and a little frightening. >> it is troubling. you know, they were public sites. they're accessible by the public. they were not internal sites. even so the wide range of the attacks has officials thinking this isn't so good. some of the sites were actually taken off completely for a day or so. you mentioned the white house, the pentagon, u.s. treasury, federal trade commission, the nsa, national security administration, homeland security was even targeted and also they weren't all government. you see there nasdaq, "the washington post", and yahoo finance also targeted. now, these are called denial of service attacks. they're not uncommon. what happens is a virus deluges the site with so much traffic it clogs it up and takes it offline so no one else can use it. now, there has been some tracing of these internet addresses from the virus to north korea. but officials are quick to point out that doesn't necessarily mean it comes from there or that the government was involved in any way. there is also some indication maybe they came from china. the bottom line is it is very difficult to figure out where they came from and whether it would be government involved or individual hackers. they're already warning the public it's not something they may be able to trace ultimately. the thing that i think the takeaway message here especially for homeland security is that cyber security is a pressing issue, something that needs to be addressed, that the government needs to be more organized so that they can defend against these kinds of attacks. it becomes more of a reality in the 21st century. i think that's really where the focus is, what this is showing that we're deficient in and how we need to get better. >> it is very much a reality because even the president could not give up his blackberry. so it affects everybody. we will definitely keep an eye on that, virginia. tell me about this kansas teenager who built his own electric vehicle. >> yeah. talk about ingenuity. he is only 17 years old. his name is jason. he figured out how to do it over the internet. he is not technically savvy at all. he went to the internet and did the research. he took this old ford escort that was headed to the junk yard and he transformed it from a gas-using vehicle to an electric car. now, you know the interesting thing about this, i'm sorry, his name is andrew. his parents didn't want him to do it. they said, no. don't do it. this is too much. well, he decided that he was going to do it anyway. he ordered a forklift motor. that's what he used to put under the hood. here's the funny thing. his parents said no and then finally he got them to sort of say oh, okay. he said, good. because i already ordered the motor. it's on his way. he says his top speed is 38 miles per hour. he gets 11 miles per charge. that doesn't seem like a lot but get this. he hasn't had to gas up his truck for over a month so it really helps out in terms of not having to use your gas vehicle by having this to do some of the short errands. so good for him. >> he doesn't need a skateboard or anything. that's for sure. >> he doesn't even know how to change his oil in his gas car but he can build an electric car. >> what a kid. i love it. i love that he did this. he did disobey his parents but -- >> now they say they're proud of him. >> all right. thanks, virginia. >> you bet. >> all right. we have new details about sunday's deadly monorail crash at disney world. a spokeswoman says three employees have now been placed on paid leave. she says this is part of the investigative process. it is not necessarily a disciplinary action. the suspended workers include a monorail cast member, pilot, and transportation manager. a local affiliate reports two employees who were supposed to be coordinating the monorail switching at the time of the crash were actually eating at a nearby restaurant. it reports that maintenance -- a maintenance worker was left in charge while the other two employees were at a restaurant. well, many companies are laying off their workers. some businesses are actually creating new jobs. our money and main street segment, we go to a small town in georgia that went bust when its once thriving textile mills closed years ago. >> reporter: in the heart of the south, the face of tidy west point, georgia is literally changing. the old pizza hut is a korean barbecue. the old kfc, young's garden. jobs once scarce are finally returning. >> just like christmas time. >> reporter: christmas in the middle of a recession? in west point, yes. >> we jokingly call it kiaville. >> kia, the korean car company, is about to open a sprawling manufacturing plant thanks to $400 million in tax breaks. even in the midst of a recession, the company will hire 2500 new workers, have suppliers and new businesses and the mayor says west point's population 3500 stands to gain 20,000 jobs over the next five years. divine intervention. >> the economic activity here is incredible. the trickle down effect in the local economy has been staggering. >> reporter: remarkable for a city that was slowly becoming a ghost town. textile mills that once defined west point shut down in the 1990s leaving many out of work including 52-year-old margaret laid off last year now working again at one of kia's suppliers. did you ever think you'd be making car parts? >> not at all. >> reporter: not in a million years? >> no. >> reporter: new construction is everywhere. at roger's barbecue, business is booming. >> we say if we can get them in here one time they'll come back. they enjoy it. >> reporter: malcolm malone's car wash business is up 70% and down the street at irish pub ruth ann williams invested her life savings in the business. it's paying off. >> i came here because of kia. i wanted to come to this area because of kia. we have jumped in with both feet and we have not looked back. >> reporter: so how is this tiny, rural community adapting to the new asian infusion? does west point feel more like a melting pot now? >> yes. you have the culture coming in. you don't have to travel to atlanta anymore. >> reporter: from mill town to manufacturing mecca, a bright spot in an otherwise gray economy. how to thrive in a tough economy? people clearly are doing it. for more of our series "money and main street" watch our sister network cnn tonight at 8:00 eastern time. aids activists staging noisy protests inside the u.s. capitol today. capitol police arrested 26 of the demonstrators and charged them with unlawful assembly. police say the group went into the rotunda and bound themselves together with plastic chains. the coalition's website demands funding on aids prevention and support programs from president obama and congress. the protests came a day before key congressional cess votes on aids programs and a day before president obama leaves for a trip to africa. at the g-8 summit in italy today leaders worked on hammering out details of a trade deal. now that the world economy is caught in a recession the g-8 was trying to finish the talks. the trade deal is supposed to help prevent countries from turning to protectionist trade and investor practices to try to battle the recession. economists blame protectionist policies for causing the great depression. let's preview what's coming up at the top of the hour. a report into the cause of michael jackson's death. sources close to the family tell cnn some of his brothers and sisters tried to intervene just two years ago. plus, a very disturbing story out of illinois. four people charged with digging up graves and reselling them for money. lots of controversy over pool in pennsylvania. a group of african-american and hispanic kids said they were kicked out because of their race. a horrible story here. five people were killed tea when an amtrak train hit a car in michigan. this is the amtrak wolverine train. all the victims who died were in this car. there are no reports of injuries among the 170 passengers, plus crew, on the train. we're hearing the train pushed this car 150 feet. amtrak spokesperson said the car was trying to cross the track. the train was headed to chicago from detroit. a video story we brought you yesterday, the getty art complex is still closed today after being threatened by a brush fire. the 80-acre fire is about 90% contained. the fire broke out just a mile from the museum. this museum houses world renowned art collection. hundreds of visitors and staff had to evacuate yesterday. a little girl vanishes, and in the coming weeks her father is going to be deployed to iraq. take a good look, lindsey baum disappeared june 26th. police say she was taking a short walk from her house to her house in mccleary, washington. she never made it. her father is a member of the tennessee national guard and has not seen his daughter in a year. >> i would love nothing more than to see my daughter before i have to go. so please, if you know anything, contact the hotlines, contact any 911 centers. but please, bring my daughter home before i laugh to leave. >> detectives say they haven't found any evidence to explain her disappearance. with more and more reports of michael jackson's possible drugs use, "showbiz tonight's" a.j. hammer talks about his possible addiction.
