"cnn newsroom" begins right now. good morning to you. thank you for being with us. i'm carol costello. we begin today in bulgaria, still reeling from what the nation's interior minister says was a suicide bombing on a bus filled with israeli tourists. new developments continue to come in to cnn, but here's what we know right now. new security footage shows a man who bulgarian officials say is responsible for the attack. you see him there. in a surprising twist, this man was carrying a michigan driver's license, which fbi officials have now identified as a fake. seven people confirmed dead in the attack, including the bomber. 36 others wounded. three of them serious. let's bring in our reporter on the ground in bulgaria. let's talk about this fake michigan driver's license. any idea how this man got a hold of it? >> reporter: we really don't know. and of course we can't even tell whether or not he is american, if it's a fake i.d. all we really know is what we see on that security camera video that's come in from the airport. and basically it shows a man who could be an ordinary backpacker tourist. and that's what's so eerie about it. it's somebody you might see just about anywhere. he could be anywhere from in his teens to his 30s. and he just seems to be wandering around the airport. according to bulgarian officials, the cameras basically caught him wandering around the terminal for about an hour up to the time of the explosion, looking up at the flight arrivals and departures. but otherwise, not seeming to do anything particularly suspicious. now the reason he's been singled out is because he is the only one who was killed in the explosion who has not been identified. he was the one closest to the blast, and apparently that was one of the reasons why it was so hard to identify him. they were just barely able to get his fingerprints. and bulgarian authorities say they have given all the evidence to the fbi, also israeli security and interpol hoping to find out who he is. >> atatika shub ert live from bulgaria this morning. george zimmerman granted his first television interview, appearing with his attorney, mark o'marra, on fox news. >> i feel that was all god's plan. and for me to second guess it or judge it. >> is there anything you might do differently in retrospect now that time has passed a little bit? >> no, sir. >> joining me with more from miami is cnn's john zarella. first off, zimmerman obviously granted this interview to, you know, up his image as far as public opinion is concerned. what's the reaction in sanford this morning? >> reporter: well, we're not in sanford. but i can tell you that i think the reaction is this, carol. i think the reaction is that if you went into this interview, this appearance that he had on fox, believing that it was self-defense, believing that it was, you know, that it was self-defense, you probably came out of it thinking the same thing. if you went into it believing that he was guilty of second degree murder, you probably believe the same thing. it's been a very polarizing case from the beginning. i don't think this has moved the needle. >> do you have more sound? can you give us a sense of more of what zimmerman said? >> i can tell you that what we have here is that when you look at what he said about when he was asked if he wished he could do anything differently, when he was asked about -- and he on the god question, he comes back and he says, no, i wouldn't have done anything differently. of course, immediately the reaction from trayvon martin's family was, well, you know what? your god must be different than ours. and we have some sound from trayvon's family. >> i think it's absolutely ridiculous. god did not have a plan for trayvon to die. and for george zimmerman to shoot trayvon for no reason. >> so, you know, at one point, carol, he does go back, after he talks about having no regrets and that it was god's plan, he goes back later after a commercial break and says, you know, i want to correct something i said. so, you know, it's very likely that there may have been some intervention there by his attorney at one point saying, you know what, we better go back and change the wording there a bit. >> john zarella live for us from miami, florida, this morning. arizona sheriff joe arpaio under fire in court for what his critics call his penchant for racial profiling. a mexican tourist detained by arizona deputies for hours is suing sheriff arpaio. he claims he was held simply because he was from mexico because he had his papers with him. casey wyan is in phoenix outside of the courthouse. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. it's not just that mexican tourist who is suing sheriff arpaio. it is also two other u.s. citizens, legal immigrants, and this suit has been certified as a class action lawsuit sponsored by the american civil liberties union, the mexican-american legal defense and education fund, on behalf of all latinos in maricopa county, arizona, who were either riding in or driving cars, even parked in cars, pulled over by the maricopa county sheriff's department. what they are alleging is a widespread practice of racially motivated profiling to try to apprehend illegal immigrants, basically based on how they look, what their race is, what their physical appearance is. according to the aclu, these actions by sheriff joe and his deputies at the maricopa county sheriff's department are beyond what is permissible for any law enforcement agency. here's what the aclu's attorney had to say about the importance of this case. >> it's important because it has become such a presence, and has impacted greatly, that the fabric of society here in arizona, the hate and the bigotry have been impacted. i think many people, rightful thinking people and others, and certainly most directly the latino communities, including lawful residents, who are very fearful. >> reporter: now sheriff arpaio would not speak with us before the court case is beginning later today. neither would his attorneys. but in court filings, they have said that their offices were simply enforcing the law, simply acting on reasonable suspicion and doing what was allowed. i do want to point out, carol, that in a news release earlier this year, after announcing the apprehension of several suspected illegal immigrants, sheriff arpaio said that no matter what advocacy groups did, no matter what politicians did, he would continue to crack down on immigration. i want to point out he said immigration, not illegal immigration. and that's what his critics say is the big problem. he is targeting anyone who appears to be latino. carol? >> casey wian reporting live from phoenix, arizona, this morning. while the united nations is trying to make peace in syria, britain's prime minister is speaking out. david cameron telling reporters it is time for bashir al assad to go, because if he doesn't there's quite clear there's going to be a civil war. and while violence between rebel groups and government troops is escalating, prident assad has not been seen in public. we have a report from beirut, lebanon. so where is he, arla? >> reporter: well, that's what a lot of people are asking, carol, especially given what happened in the capital yesterday. and just to recap it for our viewers, there was that attack on a high level security meeting that left the minister of defense, the deputy minister of defense, who is also the president's brother-in-law, and one of his security advisers and most certainly a strike at the very core of the regime, leaving the capital in sheer and utter chaos, with violence raging across it. most certainly a time when one would expect a president to come out and try to reassure the people that he was still in control. there's been quite a lot of speculation. there's been rumors circulating that perhaps he has fled to the port city of latakia. this is an area where he still does enjoy a fair amount of support. but again we do not have confirmation of that. but a lot of people are wondering where the leadership is at this point in time. and of course there are a lot of fears as to what the potential ongoing response from the assad regime is going to be, carol. >> arwa damon reporting live for us this morning. to american politics now. a think an romney on "good rning america" talking taxes and of course her husband, mitt. plo mrs. romney says two years of tax filings is enough for public consumption. she said, quote, i think you should look at where mitt led his life, where he's been financially. we give 10% of our income to our church every year. do you think that is the kind of person that is trying to hide things? then when he was governor of massachusetts he didn't take a salary in the four years, end quote. as for democratic attacks on bain capital, romney's old company, ann romney says such attacks are, quote, beneath the dignity of the office of the president. agriculture secretary tom vilsack briefing president obama on the crop crippling drought across much of the nation. speaking to reporters later, vilsack said the food price hikes consumers are seeing are not related to the drought. >> we'll probably see those higher prices later this year, first part of next year. and if in fact people are beginning to seafood price increases now, it is not in any way, shape, or form related to the drought, and we should be very careful to keep an eye on that. >> vilck says we won't know the full impact of the drought on crops until after they're harvested. a really scary moment at yankee stadium in the new york-toronto game. take a look. the yankees mark teixeira hits a high foul pop-up. the jays third baseman, brett laurie, trying to make the catch. and you can see h went over the railing and into the camera well. lawrie was taken out of the game and sent for x-rays. amazingly enough, he had no broken bones. but check out teixeira's reaction at the plate. lawrie is listed as day-to-day. oh, that looked painful. more dramatic video for you. this is surveillance video showing the moment a predator tried to snatch a 10-year-old girl. look at that. she's ok. but now the search is on for her attacker.

[ laughter ] >> so he has a sense of humor too. but is it coincidental scalia often rules on the conservative side and has conservative friends? could you say that is political? >> not at all. i think actually one big lesson we saw from this whole interview is how justice scalia's philosophy allows him to vote differently from what his politics might be. a lot of the time. he said many times, if i were king i might do something differently. but his philosophy is judges are called to be fair and impartial to set aside their political preferences to rule on the law, because that is the expression of what the american people have done. he said if i were king, i might do something differently. but i am expressing the constitution. that is the genius of our government. anytime you allow a justice rule on their notion of what's good versus what the law says, that undercuts the notion of democratic responsibility and the responsibility of government to its people. >> you know, he did say that. piers morgan asked him about free speech rights. i'll just shorthand it. and justice scalia brought up flag burning. and he said, clearly, in my personal opinion, that's wrong. but according to the constitution, it's not. so under our free speech rights, flag burning is perfectly ok. but he votes conservatively most of the time, at least that's what critics say. so if you're a conservative at heart, how can you totally remove politics from the equation when you're making a decision? that's not so cut and dried in the constitution. >> well, i think there's a clearly articulated judicial philosophy that makes it easy to remove your preferences. that's why he votes pro defendant in a lot of cases because the constitution is very pro defendant in criminal law issues. i think the problem is with judges who don't have as clear of a judicial philosophy or don't have perhaps the strength of character to consistently apply their philosophy when it comes to results they don't want. that's where we see unfortunately judges that sometimes vote their politics or their notion of just decency and common sense. and allowing that to override what the constitution and the laws themselves say. i think if the judges were al trying to just look at that in the first place, and not have a philosophy that imported their own feelings or empathy as the president said, i think we would see a much more consistent application of the law. >> i was just amazed he is 76 years old. he is oh vital. and he says he has no intentions of retiring anytime soon. >> i don't think any of them intend to retire. it's a great gig. and they -- despite all of the tensions of these cases, they do get along really well. and, you know, i hope we see him on the court for many years to come. >> thanks so much for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. a horse is a horse, of course, unless that horse is owned by a certain presidential candidate. and then it becomes the latest character in the race for the white house. but do the candidates risk turning off the people they need to win the election by these -- well, these kind of mean ads? i know we have talked about this before. but there is some evidence that people, voters, are tuning out already. an accident doesn't have to slow you down. with better car replacement available only with liberty mutual auto insurance, if your car's totaled, we give you the money for a car one model year newer. to learn more, visit us today. responsibility. what's your policy? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [romney singing]: oh beautiful, for spacious skies, i'm barack obama and i approve this message. for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains majesty, above the fruited plain, america, america, god shed his grace on thee, and crowned thy good, with brotherhood... according to ford, the works fuel saver package could terally pay for itself. jim twitchel is this true? yes it's true. how is this possible? proper tire inflation, by using proper grades of oil, your car runs more efficiently, saves gas. you could be doing this right now? yes i could, mike. i'm slowing you down? yes you are. my bad. the works fuel saver package. just $29.95 or less after rebate. o
