a 15-year-old girl was able to survive a gunshot wound to her head. she somehow had the wherewithal to call 911, tipped off police to the suspect's next possibly deadly move. >> she was the only clue we had to the amount of information that we could gather on this suspect here. >> she was able to provide us the name of the person who shot them, where he was going next and we quickly responded to that location and caught him coming up to that residents where other relatives of that family lived and we assume he meant to shoot them as well. >> during much of this multi-hour standoff, he held a gun to his head while deputies surrounded him with their weapons drawn. he surrendered three hours later. cnn's miguel marcus joins me out of texas. you have new details about how the whole thing unfolded. >> reporter: just a hideous situation. another idiot with a gun, unfortunately. and it is just awful how this thing played out. just north of houston, texas, as you said, spring yesterday afternoon. this is a guy who we want went up to the door, went once dressed in a fedex uniform. used to work for fedex some months ago and left when the 15-year-old little girl who answered the door turned him away. he was asking for the parents. he came back a short while later. she recognized him as an ex uncle. not clear if she thought he was a blood uncle or someone they called an uncle. and he busted down the door, tied up the kids, held them at gunpoint, waiting for the parents to come home. as soon as they did, that's when the shooting started. steven and katie stay were both killed, as well as, get this, two girls, one 9, one 7. two boys, one 13, one 4 years old. >> awful. >> and according to police, the way this went down, they were tied up, it would have been basically execution style. the 15-year-old girl who answered the door miraculously even though very badly injured, was able to tip off police as to where he might be headed next. >> how is she? >> she is in very poor shape, but she's at least stable. so they're hoping she does survive. the fact she was able to communicate with police at the scene is certainly a good sign. but these things are very tough to get ahold of, and to take care of once somebody is so badly injured. they were able to head him off before he got to the next place. so there could have been even more killing before this guy was finally talked to for about three hours before he finally surrendered. tomorrow will be his initial appearance on capital murder charge. >> our hearts with this 15-year-old girl. incredible what she was able to pull off, and what -- probably saved lives, as you point out. miguel marquez, thank you. >> you got it. to the immigration crisis. it is now morphing into a sort of standoff at the border. i'll get to that in just a moment. but you have these tens of thousands of undocumented children, overwhelming the texas line. this is the topic of the senate appropriations committee hearing on capitol hill this hour. it starts in just about a half hour. homeland security secretary, jeh johnson, will be testifying, specifically about this dollar figure we have been reporting this week, this $3.7 billion. the president obama wants to help spend to alleviate this issue it at the border. this is what he's asking congress for. now, a problem the president still has not firsthand seen, despite calls by many in his party to do so, go to the border. he is set to leave texas this afternoon with no plans to head south. and back to the standoff. i alluded to. president obama is calling for congress to, quote, do something. that is approve that near $4 billion he's asking for in aid. republicans are not rejecting it. but i want you to listen to the speaker of the house republicans here, speaker boehner, lashing out today. >> we're not giving the president a blank check. this is a problem of the president's own making. he's been president for five and a half years. when is he going to take responsibility for something? >> speaker boehner today. and as the politics on the border crisis gets increasingly partisan, the crisis itself worsens. we have our correspondents on the border to show you what exactly is happening today. and not just the u.s./mexico border, but farther south. gary tuchman will show us one border crossing where you don't need papers, just money. not much more, actually, than a buck. but first to cnn's alina machado, on the u.s./mexico line in mission, texas for us right now. so you're along the river, alina. it tell us what you're seeing and experiencing there. >> reporter: yeah, brooke. we are actually on the rio grand. it is the natural border between mexico and the u.s. you can see on the other side that is mexico. the side that we're standing on is the u.s. and in this area, in this general vicinity, we have seen a very strong law enforcement presence. particularly from the border patrol. earlier today, we saw a group of state law enforcement boats coming through the river, and we believe texas governor rick perry was on one of those boats, getting a firsthand look of the border, of the situation here, which is exactly what he said he wanted the president to do. he met with the president some 500 miles north of here. and as you mentioned, we do not believe the president is going to be heading south. we have been in this area now for a couple of days. we have been getting a sense of the situation here. we went into mcallen, texas, part of town where many of the immigrants who are caught crossing the border make it through eventually, and then head on to other destinations where they may have relatives throughout the country. we're talking about cities like miami, houston, d.c., new york, other cities far, far away from where we are. and we specifically went to a catholic charities shelter that has been helping many of these immigrants as they are making their way through here. they stop there, get a change of clothes. they take a shower. they eat something before they board a bus and continue on their journey. brooke? >> okay, alina machado along the rio grand. and listen, as alina pointed out, it's not just mexicans who are crossing over. let's talk about central america. the u.s. government says 29% of the undocumented children we have been focusing on, they are from these thee specific countries. honduras, el salvador and guatemala. how does the journey begin for them? well, cnn's gary tuchman went to guatemala to check out one route. and it starts with a boat and little more than $1. >> reporter: brooke, what we're seeing on the border is fascinating and eye-opening, but also what's been happening here for many generations. this is guatemala where i'm standing on the muddy shores of the river. these are rafts going over to mexico on the other side of the water. it's very easy to get there. everything is very open. to cross from mexico to the united states, you obvious often have to pay a coyote thousands of dollars. but to do it here you pay ten guatemal guatemalan, the equivalent of $1.30. this is the river which separates mexico from guatemala. right now we're in the western most part of the country, the southern most part of mexico. and you can see throughout this river, there are rafts of people who are trying to get across the border and doing it very easily. this is very unlike the border going into the united states where you have to be secret about it. i want to give you a look here to give an idea of how open this is. there are police here. there are police all over here. and no one minds that people are going across the river from here in guatemala into mexico. you can see this family of three, a mother, father, and their little boy, they told me a short time ago they're getting ready to go on this raft, made of huge inner tubes, and getting ready to cross into mexico and the united states. this river is active from sunrise to sunset. and in addition to all the police being here, not caring that people are crossing from guatemala into mexico, what's really amazing is a mile in this direction is the official border station. the official border station down there. so even though the border patrol people from guatemala and mexico work over there, they don't seem to care either. this is just a very active business. and the going rate right now for crossing is the equivalent of $1.30. and this is the family we just met, a little child and his parents. the man in the red shirt with the stick, he's the pilot of this raft. and he's the guy who just got the $1.30. typically what happens, they go to the other side, into mexico. there are taxis and advance and also bicycle taxis on the other side. which will take them in a lot of cases to a nearby city in mexico called tapachula, and they stay in shelters and figure out where to go from there. but it is a long way from tapachula, the southern part of mexico, to the united states. it could take them weeks to get there, if they get there successfully. and that's an open question. the police are not only friendly here, they're actually encouraging us to go for a ride on one of the rafts. yeah, go into mexico. so we are. and this is our skipper. your name, sir? >> paluco. >> we paid him $1.30 to go on the raft. is this a fun job? >> fun. >> easy? >> easy job. >> you like taking people into mexico? >> sure. >> okay, man. people leave guatemala, he takes them to mexico and if they succeed, they end up in the united states. but if you do this in the rio grand of texas, you're going to be in trouble. you can't do it in front of cops. but here with paluco, you can do it in front of everybody. paluco has now taken us into mexico. but unlike most of the people on this river, we're going to head back into guatemala and spend the next couple hours watching people continue to cross this river heading north. the town we're standing in right now is called takun, guatemala. people are friendly, encourage us to show their businesses, but in many cases their fathers and grandfathers also did. we can tell you we have spent ten hours here between yesterday and today and there hasn't been a moment when we haven't seen many rafts crossing from guatemala into mexico. brooke? >> gary tuchman, thank you very much for taking us there, showing us how people are crossing. i should point out, the government officials wednesday say mexico deported 90,000 people last year who were on their way to try to enter the united states illegally. just ahead, a google executive is dead and police say this call girl finished her glass of wine after killing this man on this yacht and now police are looking into the death of one of her former boyfriends. plus, the battle continues as tensions are rising between hamas and israel. children and families staying inside their homes. but during all of this, hamas is doing something different in terms of fire power. we'll explain. and she's back. rosie o'donnell returning to "the view" after a disastrous exit. so who else will join her at the table?

>> i think it could be upgraded. let me talk about what that is. when you talk about manslaughter and murder and how they're different, the difference is there a malice element to that crime. manslaughter does not have premeditation. deliberation. malice murder does. now, if you're going oh to make the argument that she intentionally took a needle and put heroin in his veins and as a result caused the death and we'll talk about her behavior in the aftermath, closing the blinds, stepping over his body, nonchalantly covering her tracks, i certainly think it could be elevated to not felony manslaughter but certainly murder. and then, brooke, if you take the new case, right -- >> hang on, hang on, slow you down a second. if you're talking about premeditation, what you're referring to is the closing of the blinds and sipping wine. this this is postmortem. >> exactly. what that shows is consciousness of guilt. what you do in any prosecution is look at the circumstances in the case, how you acted before, after, and that's what goes to the charge. and so if you did, indeed, in this case, the accusation is she injected heroin -- >> what if he asked for it? >> if he asked for the heroin, i moon, that would be a difficult thing to -- that's a good defense, i think, to establish. it's a difficult thing to make the argument. it's a very good question. but then it becomes more of a reckless type of crime. because if i ask for heroin, you're going to do me a favor and give it to me. and the question is, did you give me too much. at minimum, reckless and then manslaughter certainly would apply. >> so the case in georgia, hearing what happened with this google executive, saying hang on a second, we remember this woman. i think it was the boyfriend in the shower, she was saying there was a thud. it was accidental heroin. and alcohol overdose. accidental. >> that was her story. >> that was her story. and she, in fact, called 911, brooke, on that occasion. but i think that's a big game-changer here too. you know why? because it goes to a common plan of scheme and could certainly evidence some kind of intent. and we don't know what happened. they ruled it -- the journal authorities at that time, i'll be interviewing that sheriff, by the way, later on on hln and have questions for him. the point is, i think as a result, brooke, of this particular case, you can use in any trial both cases against the other. so what they're going to say is she has a modus operandi of doing this, because she allegedly did it here. so in the reopening of that investigation, they're going to ask probing questions, get more evidence. i assume they'll do a lot of toxicology and other things. and they'll just see whether she had any criminal coupleability. and that absolutely is coming in as evidence in the california case and that's why i say look for a potential upgrade in those charges. >> okay. we'll be looking for the results of that sheriff interview, mr. jackson, on hln. thank you very much. >> pleasure and privilege. just ahead, we now know what happened in the mystery of that little boy who went missing for 11 days before being found in his basement. the new details involving a lot of sit-ups and push-ups and a lot of other things. that's coming up. plus the battle rages between hamas and israel. but during this conflict, hamas doing something different in terms of fire power. we'll discuss. you're watching cnn. to fuel economy... to quality... today's chevrolet has it all. and great news - the chevy 72 hour sale has just been extended. you'll get 0% apr for 72 months. plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. 0% apr for 72 months plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. the chevy 72 hour sale ends monday. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. don't just visit new york visit tripadvisor new york with millions of reviews, tripadvisor makes any destination better. we are hearing word of rockets fired into israel from gaza. explosions hit the town 20 miles east of the gaza strip about two hours ago. and now we have this video, appears to show some minor damage here, and if you look closely enough, you can see what appears to be pock mocks on the home left by shrapnel. israel says no one injured. meantime, officials in gaza say israeli air attacks since midnight have killed more than a dozen palestinians. striking at will from the air israel says it hit more than 100 targets in 7 hours. targets include pro ported missile makers. we have to talk about these missiles. why? because jerusalem, the holy city of jerusalem now is in the range of these rocket strikes from hamas. take a look. these are the defensive missiles fired today by the israelis and the israelis say those missiles downed a rocket near jerusalem. here's the deal. not too many years ago, hamas's best rockets could fly 12 miles or so. but since then they have been upgraded, steadily. and now possess syrian-made 302s whose 100-mile range means they reach most of israel and jerusalem. colonel rick francona from new york, welcome back. this israeli official is quoted today as saying, this, quote, a game-changer that hamas can potentially strike jerusalem from gaza? do you agree with that? >> oh, absolutely. this is an unprecedented capability that hamas has. in the past go rounds, they have been able to hit as far north as tel aviv. but now they can range virtually anywhere in the country. and this is a pretty powerful rocket. it's got, you know, 400-pound warhead on it, it can do a lot of damage. >> unprecedented. noted. the israelis, meantime, say they will continue bombing hamas until hamas quits trying to bomb them. yet, though, colonel, in the near term, the israeli air strikes seem to be having the opposite effects, more attacks from hamas, including the attempted strikes on jerusalem. so what then would israel's logic be? >> this is just spiralling almost out of control. the israelis up the number of air strikes they do, the palestinians up the number of rockets they're going to launch. at some point, somebody has to blink. but they're waiting for each other. meanwhile -- >> they'll be waiting a while. >> hundreds of rockets, hundreds of air strikes every day, more damage than we have seen in the past conflicts. >> while we wait for someone to blink, another logic question for you, colonel. israeli strikes since monday are said to have killed at least 80 minutes. no israelis have died in the strikes by hamas. so if hamas' rockets are strictly these weapons of terror, meant to terrorize, not necessarily to kill, what does hamas gain by terrorizing, striking fear into israeli civilians? >> well, that's exactly what it is. i mean, they would like to kill a lot of israeli civilians if they could. but their rockets are not proving to be effective. none of these are guided, these are no on board guidance and fire in the general direction of a city, hoping to hit something. the israelis, on the other hand, are using their iron dome system, which has been pretty effective so far. so that has really been the game-changer as well. so better rockets and now better defenses, technology versus technology. >> colonel rick francona, thank you. just ahead, we know what happened in the mystery of that boy who was missing for 11 days before being found in his basement. the shocking new details involving a lot of exercise for him. plus, king james as lebron james decides whether or not to go home to cleveland. we'll talk to a local city council member who ripped king james when he left cleveland four years ago. wi would the city take him back? we'll discuss. you're watching cnn. ups is a global company, but most of our employees live in the same communities that we serve. people here know that our operations have an impact locally. we're using more natural gas vehicles than ever before. the trucks are reliable, that's good for business. but they also reduce emissions, and that's good for everyone. it makes me feel very good about the future of our company. ♪ ♪he cadillac summer collection is here. ♪ during the cadillac summer's best event, lease this 2014 ats for around $299 a month and make this the summer of style. ♪ [ female announcer ] we eased your back pain, you turned up the fun. tylenol® provides strong pain relief while being gentle on your stomach. but for everything we do, we know you do so much more. tylenol®. bottom of the hour. you're watching cnn. i'm brooke baldwin. let's talk about this young boy who was found in the basement of his dad's detroit home. so this boy alleges he was placed there as punishment, and now these new revelations from this court petition obtained by the "detroit free press" reveal this 12-year-old says he was forced to complete a grueling workout twice a day, every day. here's the specifics. 100 pushups, 200 sit-ups, 100 jumping jacks. 25 curls on each arm with a 25-pound weight and thousands of revolutions on an elliptical machine. of course, just to jog your memory, hln's nancy grace actually broke the news to the dad in this interview on-air that his son was found in his basement. remember this? >> we are getting reports that your son has been found alive in your basement. >> what? >> how could your son be alive in your basement? >> i have no -- i have no idea. >> so now the followup here. susan candiotti, a lot has changed. let's again with the interview with the father. and just to be clear, no charges filed, just this complaint from dhs, correct? >> that is correct. but it's a more detailed complaint this time. we have seen others. and we also have that child services complaint that outlines everything you were just talking about. but here's the status of whether there will be any charges right now. i spoke with the police. late last week, the police from detroit turned in an arrest warrant application to the district attorney, who ultimately must make the decision about who to arrest. and what the charges will be. they sent it back to the police to do more work. they said they hadn't completed their investigation. we need a bit more. that's where it stands now. some of the work includes doing forensic analysis of the blood that was found on the pvc pipe you mentioned that was allegedly used to beat this young man. >> so one part of it is the father here. but there was also the issue with the step mom. because a lot of people initially hearing the story, the fact -- how he was being hidden, the food he had. people were thinking, perhaps the stepmother actually helped him hide. and instead it sounds like that may not be the case. >> well, the story that police continue to tell us is that the boy was being disciplined and ran away, because he was accused of not having done his chores or his exercises. but in this document, it clearly states that the young man says that it was the step mom who was angry at him, and took him downstairs and told him to stay there and, in fact, he stayed there crawling behind the boxes, and she helped hide him. and told him to stay there. he heard all the police activity coming and doing the searches. he didn't speak up. apparently afraid. and that's where he was for 11 days before eventually on yet another search the police found him. >> just quickly to quote the boy, he told police i was so excited when i heard the police were going to move the box i was behind, because i knew they were going to find me. we'll see if charges are filed, if at all. susa susan candiotti. thank you very much. just ahead, as lebron james decides whether or not to go back to cleveland, we'll talk to a local politician there who ripped king james when he left town four years ago. plus, hear how lebron could become the world's first billionaire athlete. ooh! and "the view" announcing today its newest member here, her face definitely familiar. but who will rosie o'donnell be paired with?

is it from another state? >> reporter: the other two skulls were used in a lab or medical school, and have no historical significance, but should have been dropped off at the medical examiner's office, not goodwill. >> even though it is a crime to improperly dispose of human remains, investigators say they will not prosecute this time. and they simply want to return the skull to its proper resting place. okay. a lot of people talking about this. you heard who will be rejoining "the view" rosie o'donnell. abc just made the announcement. rosie will be back at the table in the fall. but will her presence bring much-needed ratings back to "the view?" it did, back when she was at the table in 2007. you remember the infamous spat she had with elisabeth hasselbeck? >> i asked you, if you believed what the republican pundits were saying -- you said nothing. and that's cowardry. >> no, no, no. do not -- call me a coward. because number one, i sit here every single day and hope my heart and tell people exactly what i believe. >> so do i. >> ooh, you can feel the heat still. after all of those years. you think elisabeth hasselbeck supports a rosie comeback? i'm going to go with no. listen to what she told fox news before this announcement. >> here in come to "the view" the very woman who spit in the face of our military, spit in the face of her own network and really in the face of a person who stood by her and had civilized debates for the time she was there. coming back with a bunch of control ready to regain "the view" table. not surprising. i think this has been in the works for a long time. >> ann aldenberg, entertainment reporter at "usa today." you remember the ratings were hot, hot, hot, buzz worthy when rosie was at the table a couple years ago. good move for abc? >> people loved seeing the sparks flying, rosie stirring the pot, stirring things up. and i think that's why abc is bringing her back. >> here's the thing, though. i was watching cnn last night, don lemon, host at 10:00, joe behar on, and joy behar told don, there were all these hate-filled remarks against rosie, and all this negative press. how much do you think that will sort of hang over her return versus boost the ratings and have people turn on "the view" in the morning? >> right. exactly. that's the risk. when they started talking about jenny and sherry and all these people leaving, i thought why don't they just cancel the show, get rid of it, knicks it, end it. obviously they are gearing back up and full force. they know people want to see a polarizing person like o'donnell. she is going to go head-to-head with a whoopee, no doubt, the only one coming back besides rosie at this point. and so they know they're guaranteed at least some explosive hot topics at that table and that's what they're looking for right now. >> so we know for sure those two women, it begs the question who else could fill those seats? a., and b., among those vacancies, what about a man? >> exactly. well, barbara walters told me in may when she was retiring she really thought a man would be great. so we should probably look for that. and then also a conservative voice. who is going to take elisabeth hasselbeck's spot?

>> come home, baby! come home! >> it feels the exact same as the 2010 decision. only reverse, where he's coming back. >> the fact that it's taken this long, i think he's come backing back. >> i have a good feeling he's home. lebron, the king, he's home. >> lebron is not talking yet. in fact, we do know he is on his way to brazil for the world cup finals for the weekend and so we wait. joining me now, one of those cavs' fans who was none too thrilled with king james' decision four years ago. he is zack reed, member of the cleveland city council. councilman, can you forgive? >> forgive and forget. >> really? >> period. forget -- >> that easy. >> really. that easy. business. it was business then, it's business now. he just did it the wrong way the first time. this time, he's doing it right. he is letting miami know up front, i'm leaving and going back home. >> the jersey-burning. the picture of him on the building that's no longer. the nasty graham from the cavs' owner on the web site for four years. you, my friend, may be able to forgive, but you're talking to people in cleveland. what's the word on the street? >> hey, the word on the street is, we're not going to -- probably won't be as -- like i, forget, but willing to forgive as long as he guarantees us and brings us a championship. people my age have never seen a championship in the city of cleveland. and we have three opportunities, the cleveland browns, the cleveland indians and the cleveland cavs. and we have never had a parade downtown cleveland in my lifetime. and we believe that our best chance is for lebron james to come back and bring us that championship. >> what if he doesn't bring you that championship? are you going to give him the boot? your forgiveness goes away? >> well, we know one thing. we'll make the playoffs. and we haven't made the playoffs since he left. so you know, if you don't even make the playoff, you can't even be in the game. so we know coming back he at least gives us the opportunity. i think charles barkley said it. he said, they -- we would probably be the number-one contender out of the east. so we at least get a better opportunity than we have right now, brooke. because what we have right now, we've got good ball players, we've got a good organization. but we don't have the leader that we need to go to the next level. lebron james brings that back. lebron james, come home. >> so when lebron james drops on twitter that he's staying in south beach, as he's en route to rio tonight, are you going to come back on cnn and give us your feedback and reaction, councilman? >> if you give me the opportunity, brooke, just like i mentioned at the rock 'n roll hall of fame ceremony a few years ago, and i said you're welcome to cleveland. if you welcome me to cnn, either way, i'll let you know my -- what my feelings are. >> all right, zack reed, we appreciate you coming on, and time will tell, soon enough, where king james goes. appreciate it. wherever he does decide, whether it's miami or cleveland, or somewhere else, lebron james is projected to bank more than $22 million a year, and that could put him on track to become the first billionaire athlete. let me say it again. billionaire athlete. joining me, cnn money and tech correspondent, laurie segall. so we are talking potentially ten figures for shooting hoops. hello! >> i'll say love him or hate him, love his decision, hate his decision, he is making a lot of money. he's well on his way to become a billionaire. i want to give you some stats. he had already been paid $128 million in his first 11 years playing ball, $326 million in endorsement deals. he also does investments, beats by dre, liverpool football club. these aren't any endorsement deals. nike, before he even played his first nba game. also, coca-cola, mcdonald's, samsung, duncan brand. so you're seeing he's well on his way to make a lot of money. >> we wait, we wait, we wait. laurie segall, thank you very much on king james here. coming up next, she became the world's first super model. actually, i was talking to her. super model wasn't even a word in the '60s. a special on the music of the sixties tonight, twiggy shares her inside stories of fame and her encounter with paul mccartney. cnn's the original series "the sixties" returns tonight with the invasion we lost but loved every minute. of course, the british invasion. we're talking about the beatles. the stones. and all those bands who took america by storm. but music wasn't the only big '60s invasion to come out of england. one brit, a 16-year-old, will become the first international super model and capture worldwide headlines. her name? twiggy. she is an icon from that era, had an unimaginable impact on fashion and pop culture. and i am honored to have twiggy join me now from london. nice to meet you. thanks for coming on. >> hi! how are you? >> i'm wonderful. and it's funny. when i was reading that, i don't know if super model was a word at the time. but you were a model. you were a face of this movement. the mod scene. i read an article where you were called the face of '66. can you take me back to that era and describe that time for me and your career and your life? >> it was an extraordinary time, really. because number one, models before me all came from kind of posh families or aristocratic families. i think i was one of the working class models, because it wasn't really an option. and what happened to me, i was discovered. but it was to do with everything that was happening, as you say, in music and art. and suddenly, the fashion world needed a new, young face. and i kind of fit the bill, really. i mean, it was as much a surprise to me as to everyone else. >> but to this day, people try to emulate -- when i think of you, i think of those lashes, and those big, beautiful eyes. this mod style. at the time, twiggy, who was your inspiration for that look? >> that look i got because i used to do -- we didn't really have makeup artists then. so i did all my own makeup. and i got that -- i had a rag doll at home. a soft rag doll, and she had the painted eyelashes. and so one weekend from school, i decided i want wanted to try that out. and i stuck on the false eyelashes on top and drew the ones -- and that's what became known as twiggy's when i was discovered. i have to thank america for a lot. because although i was discovered in england, it was diana vreeland, the editor of "vogue" who read and heard about me and brought me over to america. and i thank her forever, because she changed my life. it was one thing being known as a mod he in england, but she turned me global. >> the beatles and you and we talk about the british invasion coming to america and just boom. you experienced that firsthand. and when you think of the '60s, beyond the eyelashes, what articles of clothing, what looks really do you think come from that era? that i think still hold true today? >> yeah. definitely the mini skirt. and i think i was probably very famous. there's a very famous clip of me walking down fifth avenue in the shortest skirt that you can imagine. >> how did you do that? >> that's how i dressed! i used to make all my own clothes. i loved sewing, which i still do. which is lovely, because i know design clothes. i used to make them, because i couldn't buy them. but i can remember walking down fifth avenue and there is a film of it, and i did look a bit like an alien being because i had the eyelashes, the short hair and mini skirt. and all these young teenage girls were coming up to me and they still had the longer skirts and were very plainly dressed, very kind of sophisticated. more like jackie kennedy. because that look hadn't got to america yet. >> the twiggification of america had yet to happen. but the double takes began. so everyone saw the mini skirts, and the big beautiful eyes with the lashes. and that -- i mean, when i think of '60s, we all think of you. and i'm curious just to put fashion and looks aside for a minute, as a woman of the '60s, a lot of the focus tonight is on music, motown, the beatles, credence clear water survival, the stones. what artist comes to mind for you? >> obviously, you say '60s. for me the beatles, i was a huge fan, went to the convert screaming my head off age 13, 14, like every other teenage girl. they -- they then became great friends of mine. and i'm still great, great friends with paul. and i love him to bits. but to me, the '60s, the beatles, the stones. like you said, it was a renaissance. i mean, what amazes me now, i still -- whenever i meet new teenagers and they come up every decade, they're obsessed with the '60s. i still get kids of 16 and 17. they write to me. they want to know about it. they want to -- you know, they want things from the -- it's amazing. it never goes away. it's the decade that everyone is obsessed with. >> all these decades later, twiggy, i have a feeling you're still able to rock the mini skirt. am i right? >> i don't know. but i think -- i'll stick to my skinny jeans. >> twiggy, such a pleasure. thank you so much. >> thank you! thank you so much. bye-bye. >> how fun is she? twiggification. made that up on the fly. make sure you watch "the sixties" the british invasion tonight here on cnn. top of the hour. you are watching cnn. i'm brook baldwin. and we have to bin begin with this humanitarian crisis consuming capitol hill. not syria, not iraq, but this crisis inside our borders along the texas/mexico line. tens of thousands of undocumented and often unaccompanied children are overwhelming federal facilities right now. a capitol hill hearing under way to see how to solve the problem, specifically if the u.s. should spend that $3.7 billion the president is asking of congress. center stage here is this man, homeland security secretary, jeh johnson. and the background, criticism from republicans. how speaker, john boehner, noressing today, there will be
