zimmerman turned himself in yesterday after a judge revoked bond. melanie alnwick is live with details. >> prosecutors said george zimmerman and his wife lied about finances during his bond hearing april 20th and spoke in code to conceal how much money they were discussing the judge looked at transcripts of phone calls between the couple and ordered zimmerman back to jail. he and his wife told the court during his first bond hearing they had limited funds bond was set at $150,000 of which zimmerman had to pay $15,000 cash. during the hearing shelly zimmerman testified she had no idea how much money had been collected by a website set up for her husband's legal defense. the zimmerman's transferred $135,000 from the funds to their personal accounts and it is possible prosecutors could charge shelly with purgery. look at it, see what facts are there and determine whether or not it is appropriate to charge her. he is worried about shelly, constantly. >> he admitted he shot trayvon martin in february his credibility will be a main focus since he claims he shot the unarmed teen in self- defense. they said the zimmerman's did not have access to a website money it was put in an independent trust and they have asked for a new bond hearing to explain. all right melanie thank you. new this morning in vietnam the government will open three new sites to search for american pows

temperatures that warmer air south is going to gradually start to move its way toward the course of the week a little break, nothing major but at least a little influence from it, down to the deep south temperatures into the mid-to upper 70s and then you can see some cooler air to the north, we have a trough pushed its way across the upper great lake that is is actually heading our way as well. as we take a look now at our satellite radar composite area, we've got, some clouds that are rolling in across the region, a little bit of a sprinkle here and there is possible into the course of today and so we have to keep our eyes to the skies also don't be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder we could still be under the gun for that but isolated in nature from this trough. pray mare lie to the north, -- primarily to the north. you might see a light sprinkle. the story for the day, partly sunny skies trough pushing its way across, hang out here a little bit for a few days, winds will pick up, gusty winds up to 25 miles per hour today, so definitely you will want to hang on to your hat. by midday, 73 degrees, by the 5:00 p.m. hour, 75 but our daytime high is expected to be about 76 degrees, with those winds once again gusting in from the west, and then for tonight, chance of showers once again in the forecast, 57 degrees and your 5 day forecast showing you unsettled weather pattern, chance of showers or so, just about every day, the exception, friday of course we get ready to go into the weekend. julie wright how are those roads doing out there. >> not too bad i

about lebron he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. if he take it is last shot and misses it everybody goes he can't finish the game. if he kicks it out to some body else they go oh, why did he take the last shot. he kicked it out to hasland. he just throws it up only 1 second when the king gave him the ball we go to overtime and rejean rondo they go up. lebron fouled out, dwayne wade, bat man and robin. three for the win. and there we go again and they lose and you know, we are talking why doesn't dwayne wade get the criticism for missing the last shot. well, the theory is, he gets the pass because he has won a ring he won a championship. lebron is a 3 time mvp. i don't think there is any debate, if he is not the best player certainly one of the best two in the league but he hasn't won anything. he has won zip. >> they are in dangers now. >> 2 all in boston a team they should clearly beat by now. at least swept or be up 3-1. i don't know. questions remain about

thousands of people cheering on their queen as the sounds of church bells ship horns and bands rang out. >> above all what we are celebrating is 60 years, she has given of service to our country, but also this extraordinary institution, that stands above politics that brings the country together, something we are all celebrating today i think is such a valuable thing in our country so admired across the world >> historic thing and something to celebrate. >> they all sound smarter don't they because they talk like this. yesterday's pageant set a new guiness world record for largest parade

but also the united states in general. it was the first time where naval aircraft engaged each other without seeing each other, -- i am sorry, without the ship seeing each other and it was the naval aviators who brought the fight to each other to the other ships and it was quite a fantastic event for us. >> it really was and in some ways, it is fascinating because of the you know, this all -- they were able to make this happen buzz because of the -- because of the cryptographers breaking the japanese code so they did not have the element of surprise. can you tell me more about that. >> correct. the code breakers who actually, the intelligence officers working for admiral nemitz decided to try to make sure to break the code they could give a name to something, and say, it was actually alpha mike is the code word they used for midway, the japanese were, and they used that code, and put it in open traffic and then the japanese transmitted that and that all that allowed nemitz and staff to understand they were moving towards midway. >> a wreath will be placed at 9:00 a.m. this morning can you tell me about that wreath and who it is for. >> it is for all the -- not

rights efforts have been over the years you can read about it in this gripping memoir, prisoner of conscious. and we are so pleased to have congressman wolf in studio, with us this morning to talk, more about it. good morning to you thanks for coming in. >> thank you for having me. >> we were talking a second ago looking at these pictures and the inhumane acts that occur and we just sort of move through our daily lives, it must be mind blowing for someone like yourself working for years, to fight this. >> well, there are more violations of human rights and religious freedom today than any other time probably in the last 100 years in china, the nobel prize winner in jail, catholic bishops on house arrest, 30 or 31 buddhist monks and nuns who set themselves aflame. in ethiopia, the christian community is being per cent kateed, bahais in iran, they are being per cent kateed, the amadis in pakistan, catholic church in vietnam. many respects when america ceases to be an advocate and speak out, it gets degraded. >> how long have you been involved with bringing these issues to light. >> started 19 4, went the -- 1984, went to ethiopia, during the famine and got waylaid in a refugee camp where i saw things that changed my interest and things. >> really since 1984. still the good work continues here at home in the book you detail, really talk about china, and sudan and just some of the facts detailed in the book are unbelievable you thing how can this happen in a huge government that we don't agree with the politics but certainly recognized for the power that it is, in china you talk about people's organs being sold. >> they are. >> enemies of the state their -- how does this happen? in a civilized globe. >> well, it happens when the west does not speak out. i was in sudan a couple months ago in a refugee camp, george clooney went to up in yda. over 2 million people have died genocide still going on in sudan, still at this moment going on, in darfor you are finding bombing killings atrocities. china gave the red carpet treatment to the head of sudan yet he is an indited war criminal. when america fails to speak out, i think it becomes dangerous. president regan said words in the constitution, declaration of independence were a covenant not only with the people of the united states but the with entire world i think what is failure is this administration and frankly the last has not advocated enough,. >> still it is a tricky relationship because china holds a lot of our debt, or should we be concerned at all, we are talking national security issues and the like, how close to home does all this hit? >> well, one i think that is a whole other -- we should get rid or -- frankly this country is in trouble the only way to deal with it is simpson bowls commission, put everything on the table and deal with i. both parties have to come together. but we cannot allow that to keep us from speaking out. china, catholic bishops, house arrest. hundreds of protestant pastors in jail. they have mondayered tibet literally change -- plundered tibet. literally changed lhasa what that i have done to buddhist monknuns, atrocities the post have been running a series to on cyber attack america has to speak out if we don't speak out they will think we don't really care. >> here at home we are dealing with issues. i can't let you go without talking about the work you are working on student loan that one is looming for million offs americans also the threat of the debt ceiling debate and sort of lock gain, can you speak to those domestic issues >> i can and i talk about that in the book we are facing an economic crisis the only way that i see to deal with it is to put everything on the table, reform the entitlements, close down these tax ear marks these tax loopholes and also, i am one who has not signed the so called grover norquest pledge but party haves to come together, put everything on the table we better do it soon. look at today's news, spain and europe. storm clouds are coming. >> i hop you come back to see us and talk about these issues you are always welcome, congressman frank wolf from virginia. we will be right back do you read in bed? do you read out loud or in your head? do you need a lamp to see? and does it leave your bedmate be? don't you wish there was a light that wouldn't keep them up

clues will lead them to the suspect. detectives just released surveillance videos of the men the pictures are from a store on south dakota avenue where the sus februarys used the victim's credit card -- suspects used the victims credit card if you recognize the men, call u.s. park police. 8:26 a.m. monday morning. why space shuttle enterprise is on the move. >> unemployment and unstable market. just some of the business stories making headlines, how is this effecting you the tax payer. you can add more tornadoes to the list from friday night. the latest on the damage and the clean up, that is after the break. 8:26 a.m. we will be right back k great. so, you're a all set up. what's going on? installing cable. you know this is an ikea, right? yes, but look at this sofa! it's so comfortable. we don't want to leave. have you been living here? can i have dinner at michael's house? they're having meatballs. don't be back too late. you know it gets dark when they shut off the lights. okay. i can stay. you know, you can just buy the sofas and take them home, today. for a limited time, get up to 15% back on select seating. ikea, the life improvement store. a little bird told me about a band... ♪ an old man shared some fish stories... ♪ oooh, my turn. ♪ she was in paris, but we talked for hours... everyone else buzzed about the band. there's a wireless mind inside all of us. so, where to next? ♪ >> that's hilarious. >> the space shuttle enterprise was on the move again first it piggy backed atop a 747 now being towed on a barge while enterprise never flew in space it was used in pivotal landing tests on tuesday a tug boat will move the shuttle to intrepid seaair and space museum in manhattan where it will be lifted on to deck of the decommissioned aircraft carrier. the dow took its worst drop in the month of may falling 2.6%. last month ended another sour note. a new show on fox business network shows how those fluctuations will effect your personal portfolio. the new show's host, melissa francis, money with melissa francis premiers today, at 5:00 p.m., good to see you. and congrats on the new show. >> thank you thanks for having me there is no better time the launch a financial show than when we are right in the middle of it as you said. the stock market having a really tough time near correction territory, we look like we could have another rough day today, europe is falling apart at the seems you mention that jobs report friday, most people expected us to be a much better place jobs wise, this far after the recession, so just a lot of challenges and head winds we will debate and debunk all the big business stories of the day and dig down deep and get the real story about your money. >> years ago not that long ago this type of news was for a select group of people who would pay attention to this but man, everybody pays attention to it now. >> that's true because when you look at so many issues out there, they all impact your wallet you can't afford to be ignorant about them for example, we have grover norquest on, he will talk about the hidden tax inside obama care. almost everything that happens in washington has an impact on your wallet. you have to pay attention so you know what is going on. of course there is the market where most people's retirement is stored you have to watch that and watch what is going on with mortgages as well the job market is another huge one a lot of people out there trying to find a job trying to hang on to the job they have or trying to prepare their children to find the best job later on. so, it is a great time to be launching this show. >> obviously tied into all of that you have the political season that we are in, the national election of course, in november, are you going to be looking at that as well? how the economy effects politics? and you mentioned president o's bama, some -- obama, some said mitt romney is not offering details how he will turn the economy around. will you focus on that as well. >> no question right now we have the most pivotal election we have had in a long time one thing they can agree on they have starkly different approaches, to get the economy growing again. one side thinks it makes sense to spend more money. they believe interest rates should be as low as possible as much money out there to get people spending the other side, thinks that policy has driven us to this point that it is you know causing inflation, that it is causing the dollar to be worthless, that the government spending has crowded out private spending those are dollars companies wouldn't spend when you talk to a ceo he says i am not hiring as many people as i would because i don't know what my tax picture will look like down the line. so you look at both sides they think the other side, has dramatically the wrong plan to get america growing again you really have to understand the underlying issues to decide for yourself who is right >> all right the new show is money with melissa francis debuts 5:00 p.m. this evening and will be on week days at 5:00 p.m., melissa francis thanks for joining us. >> on the fox business network. >> on fox business network thank you appreciate it. >> yes. >> thank you. new mexico's largest wild fire in history continues to spread across that state. this was the scene in areas of new mexico last week. now more than 1,000 personnel are working to put this fire out. it is only 17% contained right now, last month two separate fires broke out after lightning strikes they have since merged together, to form one massive blaze. so far, the fire has scorched an area more than 1 president 5 times larger than -- 1.5 times larger than the city of chicago. >> some of your neighbors cleaning up from severe storms that slammed the region friday afternoon and evening. nine tornadoes touched down in maryland, ef 1 tornadoes packing up to 10110 miles for hour -- 110 miles per hour. others had 85 miles per hour. three hit montgomery county, one prince georges and one caroll county. one in anne arundel has not been classified yet >> amazing. all right now 8:35 a.m., gwen is with us for today's forecast. >> yes, and we are doing fairly good so far today, could see a few changes later on, this evening but so far not bad at all. let's look at our weather maps and show you what we are talking about we do have, a little bit of cloud and shower activity out there, that moved across the eastern shore, to del marva not much happening now just a few high clouds across the region. we have had breaks of sunshine. that will happen throughout the course of the day. breaks but see some clouds increasing, a little later on into the course of the afternoon hours. current temperatures 67 degrees dulles, 63 gaithersburg. quantico, 67 degrees, 64 fredericksburg. we've got 65 martins burg and 70 already at national airport officially. it is starting to warm up a little bit. we have this trough pushing its way across it will end up stalling out over the mid- atlantic, low pressure system will move off more to the north and setting us up for a slight chance of seeing some isolated scattered afternoon showers or maybe even isolated thunderstorm or two. can't rule that out popping up. so we will just keep our eyes to the skies nothing compared to friday at all. most of it will stay north of us, but don't be surprised if you feel a sprinkle not talking any kind of a wash out here at all. so temperatures are going to climb up a little bit into the course of the mid-70s winds will pick up this afternoon gustc winds, expect to see them gusting at least up to 25 miles per hour today s tonight, still looking at a chance of showers, improvement in the wind department though, subside down to 10 to 15 miles per hour under mostly cloudy skies here is a look at the 5 day forecast. a little unseung weather pattern a number of short waves associated with that trough. chance of showers tuesday,

tenure on the show. he had a long run as a guest on the match game, he also starred in various tv shows most notably hogan's heros and in some movies, richard dawson was 79 years old. >> he was great on those old shows. new light is being shed into the disappearence of amelia earhart a study presented at a 3 day conference in arlington this past weekend found dozens of previously dismissed radio
