balcony. let's get right to cnn's richard quest, live at buckingham palace for us this morning. richard quest, good morning, how has it gone? >> reporter: good morning to you. it is an overcast but still dry morning. welcome. i'm actually up the road from the palace in trafalgar square, where i think you might be able to see there are several hundred people watching what's happening on big screens. the reason we're in tra it ffal square, throughout the day, the queen is literally commuting through the square, backwards and forwards, palace, manchester house, down to westminster for the lunch, and then later this afternoon, soledad, up whitehall and back home to the palace for that royal wave. on the balcony, only six or seven of them. they're limiting the number of people that had be on the balcony. just the queen, the immediate line of succession, charles, camilla, william, catherine and harry. >> so, up next from the calendar that i've read, the queen has left st. paul's where they did the service this morning. really is headed to a lunch with some of the royals as well. and it will all sort of wrap up later this morning for us and afternoon for you with another sort of procession and celebration. what can we look forward to seeing live? >> reporter: that's it, yeah. yeah, what will happen is at about 4:00 this afternoon, after lunch, 3:00, she will come up whitehall in the 1902 state landau, assuming the weather holds nicely. with her will be the prince of wales and camilla since philip is not with her today, he being in hospital. that's your big one. that's your 200 horses, your guards, your bands of the household cavalry regiment. that's the british pomp and ceremony at its very best. and then the whole day will end, a late addition to the schedule, the queen is to make an address to the people at 6:00 tonight. we understand it was recorded at buckingham palace yesterday afternoon during the concert. that will be played out tonight, 6:00 london/1:00 eastern. >> we're looking at live pictures as you're talking. a moment ago we saw the queen walk in. it seemed almost a little sad without having prince philip by her side. she's small, looks a little lonely as she enters, you know, the church there. >> reporter: and that, i think, soledad, you put your finger exactly on what the feeling has been created. yes, as she walked down st. paul's cathedral aisle on her own, it did have a certain po poignancy. you say sad, i say solemn poignancy, which emphasizes the role prince philip has played next to the queen all those years. now he's in hospital. it's not, we don't believe, that serious. but any time a 90-year-old goes into hospital with an infection of any kind, they usually have to have intravenous antibiotics. a serious but very much poignancy for her majesty, looking lost, maybe a little lonely o her own. >> i agree. richard quest for us. look forward to checking in with you throughout the morning. want to turn to zoraida with a look at the look at the day's top stories. >> polls in wisconsin open in less than an hour and you'll want to watch very quickly because many call the race a dry run for the november election. for just the third time in u.s. history, a governor is facing a recall vote. republican scott walker, a union-busting, fiscal conservative and a tea party darling, vying to keep his job against milwaukee's democratic mayor tom barrett. here's a look at one of the latest polls showing walker with an edge over barrett, but it's a lot tighter when you factor in that margin of error. many expect this to be a very close race. coming up in the next half hour, we'll talk live to mayor barrett white before the polls open. you won't want to miss that. and president obama getting an assist from bill clinton to bik up big campaign cash in the big apple. kicking off a night of fund-raising including a gala at glitzy waldorf astoria hotel with bon jovi headlining. they raised more than $3.5 million for obama campaign. >> the romney republican plan is austerity and more unemployment now. and blow the lid off later, just at the time we'll be worried about high interest rates. what's the difference here?

>> well, they are going to have to state their name for the report when they take the stand and testify against jerry sandusky, however, not before that. that's an issue the judge has been very sensitive to, all through the pretrial motions. the defense has even agreed not to reveal their names in open court during hearings or any kind of subpoenas they issue to the public. however, the judge ruled yesterday, despite the victims' wishes in many of these cases, they will have to state their names for the record when they take the stand. up until that point they'll be nons but when they take the stand, they'll have to state their name fort record. some of the attorneys for those men were considering whether or not they were going to appeal that issue. as far as we know, none of them have. some of them have told me they don't want to risk delaying the start of this trial. these men want to take the stand, testify, and essentially get this over with. >> when you take a look at the ten alleged victims in this case, many people are pointing to number four, 28-year-old man, to be the strongest case. 28 years old now. tell us about his case, this youngish man and what the prosecution and defense could do with his story. >> with victim number four, his story is that jerry sandusky was like a surrogate father to him and also molesting him at the same time. that's the allegation. he's expected to actually be one of the first to take the stand. his attorney, when the issue of naming these men came up, his attorney said, no matter what, he is ready to -- >> and as you can see, we just lost our satellite feed. obviously, we'll try to get that back up so we can hear from sara ganim about the strategy of not only the defense but the prosecution in this case. let's see if we can get that back in. sara, can you hear me? your satellite took a hit. >> i can hear you. >> fantastic. forgive me, you dropped out right when you were talking about the strategy with this 28-year-old man who said that sandusky was not only a surrogate father but all the while was molesting him as well. >> right. and jerry sandusky has denied all of those allegations that are of long-term abuse like this. very graphic acts over a long period of time. he's saying he builds his life on working with at-risk kids in his charity. but that was kind of the price he paid for devoting himself to children who were at risk, that this is what happened. some of them accused him of things he didn't do. the prosecution says he targeted people -- men at this charity and that, you know, like i said, he's expected to be one of the first to take the tand and testify. >> do you think it's going to be possible to find jurors who are not biased in a relatively small town in a case that's been on the front page of every national newspaper? >> well, prosecutors wanted to bus in jurors from another county for that reason. mostly because they did a short calculation and found that one in three people in this county have some kind of tie to penn state university because penn state has become such a big part of this case, they didn't to want take that risk. but the judge decided to try, because jerry sandusky wanted -- >> all right, obviously, we're having tremendous difficulties with our satellite this morning. i appreciate your patience. that was sara ganim updating us. i think what she was saying at the end is actually prosecutors were hoping to bring the venue or bring in jurors from another county but it was actually jerry sandusky interested to have the case tried right in that particular county. we'll see if they're able to, in fact, have a jury made up of people who don't have already an opinion on the case. by the way, sara ganim, won a pulitzer prize for her reporting on this story. got to take a hort break. just ahead, a goej george student faces federal weapons and drug charges. her defense? she likes blowing things up. that sounds reasonable to me. our "get real" a high school football star walks the stage at graduation. kind of get a brutal punishment instead of getting his diploma. we'll tell you why. and the team's heading in. margaret hooper is with us, and penn, welcome, welcome. here's margaret's playlist, coldplay "clocks." ♪ the ramones "i want to be sedated," doesn't that sound relaxing?

i want to see that. >> ahhhh! that was it. >> i was okay with that. >> yeah, yes us together. >> how could we tell that from distress? you made that clear, distress and excessive cheering. >> maybe he could get a lawyer and argue -- >> and why is community service used as punishment? that bothers me so much. community service is supposed to be done with joy for help for others and it's turned into punishment and backwards thing only the government can help people. if you want to do it on your own it's punishment. >> or cheering for someone graduating -- >> those are two different issues. he's being punished for being too happy by helping people. it's absolutely backwards, being too happy should be a celebration. >> there's got to be more, right? >> well, you know -- >> his family celebrated too excessively so when he walked up to the stage, the principal says, i'm holding onto the diploma. see me later. >> apparently that's what happened. >> the decision was made while he walked -- >> they did say there was a note saying -- this happens at a lot of grad wayses, you hagraduatio down, no craziness -- >> this is the last day of fun. no more fun. when you graduate, then go live your life and have fun. >> sometimes you have to admit, knowing you're not supposed to do that eggs on the crowd. >> seems like it wasn't his cheering. there's no indication he was inappropriate -- >> he could have done a little of this. encourage the krout to root for him. >> i agree. last day of high school, do this all you want. >> i can confess a secret. during my graduation, they gave a special award for a woman who had had not missed one day of school the whole time. and i organized a standing ovation that didn't stop. and they tried desperately to find out who started the standing ovation. now it's been a few years. i can -- >> maybe you should -- >> i denied it at the time. >> maybe you should do community service. >> it was really embarrassing for her. it was a long standing ovation for someone who came to school sick. that was her accomplishment, she came to school viral. >> ahead on "starting point" showdown in the swing state of wisconsin. what today's recall vote could mean for the presidential elections come november. we'll talk about democratic mayor tom barrett challenging wisconsin's governor, scott walker. join us for that. and honoring the queen. i feel like when i do these teases, i should do them, yes, with the hand wave and the british accent. piers morgan will join us live from london with all the festivities. my song, paul simon. diamonds on the soles of her shoes -- >> mary poppins right there. ♪ ♪ we all need it. to move. to keep warm. to keep us fed. to make clay piggies. but to keep doing these things in the future... at shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energies. that's why we're supplying natural gas to generate cleaner electricity... that has around 50% fewer co2 emissions than coal. and it's also why, with our partner in brazil, shell is producing ethanol - a biofuel made from renewable sugarcane. ♪ >>a minute, mom! let's broaden the world's energy mix. let's go. you're watching "starting point" but it's hail to the queen on her diamond jubilee celebration. it will wrap up. this morning's thanksgiving service at st. paul's cathedral. and then later a carriage procession that goes right through the streets before we see the royal wave from the palace balcony from all of the royals. piers morgan is covering it ul, co-anchoring cnn's coverage. he joins us from london. where are you? and how has it been over the last couple of days? >> it's been fantastic, soledad. i'm outside buckingham palace, the queen's main residence. she'll be here later after her lunch and in a horse-drawn carriage. and will have all the pomp and ceremony we brits are so good at. i have to say, to be back in my home country for the last few days has been a very special experience. >> i have to tell you two thing from this. to see the queen without prince philip, she seems small and a bit lonely as she walks through this, and number two, i want to know what you think of the princess, kate, seems to have changed the tone of the entire royal family. am i wrong about that? >> yeah, i think on the first point, it's obviously sad prince philip is not here. i have to say, it was incredibly brutal on sunday to be out in that weather. you couldn't tell from the television, it was freezing cold, pouring with rain and he's 90 years old. he's 91 on sunday. i think he found it pretty hard. he and the queen stood the whole way, you may have noticed. it wasn't entirely surprising, i don't think, he would have had a bit of a turn afterwards for the worst, but he seems to be okay. he's in hospital. apparently they're not overly concerned, which is good. as for kate, the duchess of cambridge, she's a revelation. i remember when diana died, what this city was like, in particular, london. it went into a big state of mourn
